Allowing Abundance!


Abundant Living!

The nature of Abundance is often the Achilles heel of the modern world of spirituality, people who devote time and energy towards there daily practice achieving a sense of well being , seem to stumble when faced with the manifestation of Wealth in their everyday life ,in particular the Energy vibration we call MONEY !

Money is the most tangible and free form of energy present in our Western world , it crosses all barriers , translates into all languages and takes all forms , it has no prejudices , biases or agendas , being available to all , in fact as Byron Katie says " it is a great example to follow" so why do we have so much charge about it ?

All meaning is assigned , everything we experience in life starts as neutral , it then has meaning assigned to it by us based on how we are effected by our interaction with it ! All our conclusions , both learnt and taught , made in the past are then superimposed onto the next similar experience we have , and thus a preconceived idea is projected onto each moment , cutting us off from really being present and seeing a new perspective!

This is what we all have about money , a bunch of judgments and feelings , about having it or not having it , about others having more or less of it than us and what that means , should we feel guilty or grateful , generous or miserly , in fact there are so many paradoxical opinions about it that it is no wonder we have a difficult time understanding it !

So the first thing to do is to stop blaming Money ! Money is not a 'thing' but simply an expression of your energy in the world and how you relate to it . Just like electrical current you often can not see it , you don't know what it is exactly yet you use it everyday for a multitude of devices with out any judgments. There is an infinite supply of energy (i.e. money) and Abundance is the realization of this fact , so how do we experience more or less of it?..... by our choices!

Imagine you are a hole in the fabric of reality and on one side is the infinite energy of the source and it shines through you out onto the vast blackness of space creating your own picture called life . Now the size of that hole ( i.e. you ) is the only limitation to the energy you perceive is yours, so in order to experience more energy in what ever form you choose, money , vitality , time or love all you have to do is open yourself up to it ! And the reason we do not, is because we fear we will tear the very make up of our personality , our ego's, which are built on the false concept that we are reactors to out there , not in truth the creators from in here!

So in conclusion abundance is not something to get but something to allow! In each moment you are the one choosing what shows up in your life and how much of it. Remove your own fears and judgments , increase your level of acceptance and witness the Infinite Source expressing through you !

Being stuck is the beginning of freedom!



Knowing you are stuck and admitting it is the first most powerful step there is , we can go many lifetimes completely oblivious to this fact and look for all the reasons outside of ourselves and constantly go round in spirals , but when we finally stop and let go of our pride we can open up to the help and compassion that is available to us in all situations , yet realise this can only come to us when we give ourselves the same compassion by asking for help!

The appearance of others living a better life or grander vision is a gift it is your soul telling you that this is available to you too and the sadness you feel about it is because you know that your current choices are holding you back from grasping this truth .
Everyone is always dying , and it is the daily death of our personality , the letting go of all we have invested in that allows us to recreate ourselves with a fresh new vision learning from every experience and building on this wisdom to put ourselves back together each day , so you can see that it is only the ego that is dying the soul is growing !

You are so right each time of deep sadness forces us to drop our masks and the facade of success and happiness and allows us heartfelt inquiry into our doubts and fears , and it is in this true listening that we are heard and that aspect of ourselves is reunited with the totality of our grander being , we become our own beloved and in our own forgiveness we are made whole.

The lessons and people that come into your life repeatedly are there at your request and they will keep showing up as long as your are avoiding the wisdom they are giving you , it is only when we realise this and take responsibility for it that we stop seeing things as negative but rather as an opportunity to experience what we have chosen , i.e. if we wish to know ourselves as peaceful then the opposite will show up so that we may know ourselves as this , our if we declare that something going to our plan will improve us , then the plan will always fall apart because the truth is that we can not be improved we are already and will always be amazing wonderful unlimited beings so we will never feel better if we look for it in achievement or advancement , only in totally acceptance and the dropping of judgement of our feelings and the openness to allow them will we see underneath the truth of our perfection!

so to answer you questions !

THERE IS NOTHING YOU HAVE TO DO ...EXCEPT WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO IN EACH MOMENT , YOUR CHOICE IS ALWAYS THE PERFECT ONE!

THERE IS NOTHING YOU HAVE TO BE , YOU ALREADY ARE EVERYTHING , SO SIMPLY CHOOSE WHAT ASPECT OF THE ALL YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPERIENCE AND BE IT!..THEN ONCE YOU ARE DONE CHOOSE AGAIN AND BE THAT , AL;LOW THIS PROCESS TO UNFOLD INFINITELY AS THE MYSTERY IS INEXHAUSTIBLE!

YOU ARE ALREADY MANIFESTING THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS ALWAYS SO THE SECRET IS LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE DREAMING ABOUT AND WHY , WHAT DO YOU FEEL IT WILL GIVE YOU REALISE THAT IT IS ALREAY PERFECT NOW CELEBRATE THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR NOW AND THEN WATCH AS THAT GRATITUDE ATTRACTS MORE OF THAT FEELING INTO YOUR LIFE, WHEN YOU JUDGE YOU CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCE TO NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH AND YOU FOCUS ON THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO ATTRACT MORE OF THAT INTO YOUR LIFE SO CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT IT , AND IT WILL CHANGE!

THE REASON YOU HAVE LOST ALL HOPE IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE AFTER IS AN IDEA OF BETTERMENT AND A JUDGEMENT OF NON PERFECTION OF WHERE YOU ARE NOW , SO THERE IS PERFECTION IN YOUR DESPAIR ALLOW TRUE WITNESSING AS THE FEELING CONSUMES YOU , FOCUS ON THE CORE OF THIS , BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR INQUIRY AND JUDGE YOURSELF NOT , BUT LET THE SEED OF YOUR SORROW BE SEEN IT IS BURIED BELOW THE EVERYDAY REASONS AND AT ITS ROOT YOU WILL FIND A SEED OF WISDOM , A ANCIENT RECONNECTION WITH YOUR SOUL , DO NOT AVOID THIS TIME KNOW THAT WHEN THE SUFFERING IS WELCOMED IT TRANSMUTES AND EMBRACES YOU !

THE WEAKNESS IS YOU IDEA NOT THE TRUTH , IT IS YOUR EGO THAT HAS BEEN FIGHTING SO LONG TO PROTECT YOU THAT IT IS EXHAUSTED LET IT STOP, ALLOW IT TO REST , LET THE MONSTERS YOU HAVE FEARED SO LONG TO EAT YOU , FOR WHEN IT IS ALL FINISHED AND YOU ARE LAID BARE AND VULNERABLE , YOU WILL BE SHOWN THE TRUE MIRACLE OF LIFE ....WHO YOU ARE CAN NOT BE HARMED , CANNOT BE DAMAGED , CANNOT BE GUILTY , CANNOT BE DESTROYED.....ANYTHING THAT CAN IS NOT YOU , ANYTHING THAT CAN WAS PREVENTING YOU FROM BEING YOU !...SO WELCOME IT ALL AND KNOW YOU ARE BEING LEAD HOME TO THE ONLY PLACE YOU NEVER LEFT YOURSELF!

Radiance!

'We come from the Light and to the Light we return!"

As each Soul sits contemplating its next incarnation , no matter what the challenges are for each particular Lifetime , it looks for the circumstances that will allow it the possibility to Enter the Darkness of Forgetting and then to adventure through each day back to Remembrance as one with the Light .

We are All born an unlimited , magnificent illuminated being , sparkling with eyes of delight for everyone to behold. Each baby is a source of Joy and lightness of being , not only for the parents but also for each person that comes into contact with them , as their giggling smiling face reminds of the child in our own heart!

However as we grow up and join the world the once approved of brilliance is seen as too much , like a spotlight in their face , so the parents install a Dimmer switch to us and get about the task of keeping us quite and out of 'trouble' so we fit in with the rest of the herd! Eventually after a million "No's" we become very proficient at dimming ourselves and soon have it set on Low Lite setting! ...this pleases everyone so much that now around your 7th birthday you are awarded with your very own Lampshade so you don't have to worry about the switch and you have lots of great shadow in which to store your suppressed Feelings and unwanted emotions.

Now this is all well and good , until one day usually around what is commonly called your Aquarius rising in astrology or late twenties / early thirties the shade is overflowing and things start to leak out into your life that seem unwanted and unexpected as the emotional storeroom is full! About this time you are usually impacted by some serious challenges in life that make you question all you previously believed and you no longer feel like wearing the shade , maybe a break-up , maybe a death , maybe an illness , maybe a betrayal ... whatever it is you are left raw and vulnerable and you look elsewhere for answers !

It might be a workshop or a journey abroad but you find a glimpse of what had been hidden and you pull off the dimmer switch and your light is exposed like a beacon of illumination , and you see all the baggage you have been carrying and start the work to process, release and embrace you inner depths. As you do this your outside world is effected and people are drawn to you and your light , inquisitive of the glistening quality of your being and curious to know how they might achieve it ! Yet be aware once in your radiance they themselves become exposed and quite often they are not ready for this unexpected revealing of their long forgotten suppression and the fear and may be overwhelming and cause them to retreat back to the comfort of their shadows , yet a spark will have been set and their own journey will have begun !

The Greatest challenge as Nelson Mandela says in the famous speech "is our Light not our darkness!" yet each lifetime holds a new journey with the potential of remembrance in a new and mysterious way thus infinitely enriching the wisdom of our souls , and as we join once again the Source we bring a new shade of illumination to its eternal Radiance!

So remove your Dimmer switch today and Shine forth , you have a unique and wondrous star inside you that will benefit all that bask in it !!

Mastering Truth


We are all masters walking a path and although each may seem different in content they are all the same in energetics ! We are all moving from dream to waking , from consciousness to unconsciousness , constantly unravelling the knowledge we hold into experience and thus revealing the wisdom wrapped in each moment like a harvest of pearls . Yet if we get lost in the harvest and never crack open our shells the pearls are never seen , and the harvest is barren.

The perfection is the Paradox of Truth, how each seeming individual soul can act from there heart and manifest the ideal players to come into there life to offer them a mirror of themselves , be it judgement, reflection or admiration, and thus create the circumstances to experience the making Known from the Unknown and gleaning the wisdom therein. And yet somehow all beings can do this simultaneously , there is no confusion or disturbance in the Perfect chaos of choice!

To slap another is to awaken yourself to the truth that it is you who were in a box asleep ,and dreaming were slapped by there behaviour of limitation ! Awaken to the truth that all is you echoed and see the ripples are made by the stone dropped in the pool , and whilst the ripples repeat on the surface the stone drops deeper , return to the stone you are , be solid in truth and deepen in wisdom!
