” I thought I dealt with this!

I thought it was over and done with!

why did it take so long to deal with it..why Now?

I have wasted all the years, why couldn’t I have dealt with this years ago?’

Because change takes time, like true love, it takes the understanding of time

and the acceptance that change only comes when you are ready..

and often we may think we are ready, but deep within we are not

Change takes time, and time can only be a helper if you see time as agent of change

Time goes in cycles , not in a straight line..

Change goes in cycles, not in a straight line..

There are no straight lines within the growing psyche,

in the inner expression of spiritual change there always is to be found a cycle

of change and time, like two different coloured flowers on one slender plant

Time needs change to give meaning to humanity

and Change needs Time to grow and mature

We are all children of time and change

They are two of  twelve great mysteries that give humanity the impulse of evolution.

Karma is any intentional process, a thought, action, word or gesture or combination of all that is done with intent and focus. This the primary impulse of Karma. It does not matter whether the intent is positive or negative.  Because such activity creates many patterns that replicate themselves beyond measurement, we all are linked in a karmic fish net, that trawls the bottom of our unconscious karmic ocean.

If we wish to change patterns in our life, we need to understand what prompts our thoughts, actions, words and gestures, and what are the drives behind our intentions and focus. We can change karmic patterns by changing the nature of our intentions to the world, our inner world, outer world and to all people and other living creatures.

People often wonder …what  is Rebirth, thinking it the same as Reincarnation.

Rebirth is the process of suddenly been born as soon as you are dead without any understanding or control over the emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects of dying. If you lived a confused life and died with confusion, fear or any other overwhelming emotion that caused you to feel trapped,then it can be that you will be born immediately, as there are endless wombs waiting to be filled with life.

Rebirth is sudden and without understanding, it is a rush an endless flow and pattern. But you can rise out of that pattern by learning how to become conscious and more aware of your inner state so it does not sabotage your mental state as you die. This leads us to Reincarnation.

People often wonder… what Reincarnation is…

Reincarnation is the conscious application of mental , emotional and spiritual insight to yourself as you die, thus clearing away all the inner fears and projections that emanate around you as you die. You create a choice within you as to how you shall be, you enter into a dimension of choices. And when you know it is right, you have an element of choice over how, when and to whom you will be born.

In the death process if you enter into the state of clarity, you can redeem yourself, heal all your regrets, learn as to the whys and hows of your karmic legacy and inheritance and transform yourself.

Death is the great equalizer but in that you have choice and intention and focus.  Whatever you have done, you can heal in the process of death, and stay in the dimensions between the former life and the possibility of a new one, to enhance your inner evolution and well being.

With the way your life is?

The amount of money that you make?

Your health, status, relationships, body, confidence ?

Are you disastisfied with your lack of acheivement.

Well I would like to ask you, compared to what?

Disatisfaction? What are you disatisfied with when compared to…?

If you start to compare …your disatisfaction will fade, because

just like comparison, disatisfaction is fleeting and not true.

Yet it can prompt people to really acheive incredible things and bring them to a place of truth, disatisfied people search for the meaning of things and change, content people do not. How disatisfied are you? Can you sit in your own company?

Can you accept that where you are in your life right now is where you are meant to be?

Disatisfaction is not something you can have for long or cling to, it is both a sensory and an emotional experience that prompts each of us to higher states of change, it is not the goal or the destination, but a process that leads us to knowing who we truly are.

Don’t get caught up in disatisafction, but take the lesson it offers,

give thanks for what it shows in you and move on.

But what of satisfaction?

It is merely disatisfaction at rest and it too is fleeting,

like a Summer shower that comes in the morning it will not last all day.

Disatisfaction is the everyday mind experiencing the underlying knowing that the material world can not offer a lasting peace or meaning, and so it expresses itself through our fears, longing and regrets.

Give thanks for all that,

give thanks for the moments of satisfaction,

the times of disatisfaction and know them both to be

transient and a heat wave of your ego in search of meaning…

Can you ask yourself and find an answer?

There is no quick answer, only a slow one that evolves as you experience your evolution through the challenges of life .

Happiness comes and goes, but its sweetness is a reminder, that beneath the delights of happiness exists a greater joy and contentment that shows us all, the ‘being’ , within the human..

Happiness improves our health and conscious, but the media has hijacked it, turning it into something ‘aspirational’ like a fashion item or latest gizmo, happiness is for us to see beyond ourselves and to be thankful for the life we can make from the life we have.

Happiness is also a choice, both a belief, as an act of faith and a psychological state that shifts our consciousness.

How do we find happiness?

We need to look within for that is where its foundation lies,

and without, not in things, but in our relationships to people,

the natural world and the place we stand in,

as we express who we think we are.

Happiness is trust, a trust in the goodness of life, people and ones Self.

If you can not trust in these, then happiness takes time to emerge into your daily activities and thinking.

Happiness is waiting for you to claim it as your own.

and of the person who is unafraid of the connection

with the varied experiences of Life.

In a world where people are born unequal,

gentleness has a greater impact than the biggest fanfare.

Gentleness is the opportunity of communication

and is the first step in true intimacy,

of the self, of your inner consciousness and with another.

Gentleness comes about when we listen to the interdependence within ourselves.

When we take the vow of the sacred marriage

between the dark and the light that rumbles through our everyday mind.

When we give up dogma, prejudice and set ideas,

burn away habits back to their original inspiration,

gentleness waits to be experienced.

Gentleness will come when invited.

It is not cautious but has spiritual courtesy.

If you want to experience gentleness

do not be afraid of the love that is revealed

to you in the experience of gentleness.

When the world goes mad and rowdy,

when people became overblown and pollute the world with their lack of care,

when hope seems to evaporate,

gentleness will still be with you.

Gentleness overcomes all things.

It creates renewal and rejuvenation of the heart.

To become gentle and to accept it with you

awakens the impulse within you to embrace all things with out fear.

When we behave in this territorial way we become an enemy, to ourselves and to Life and to other people. Many people become overwhelmed by living in their fears that they create territories instead of boundaries. Territories require constant maintenance and exhaust our spiritual potential.

When we enter into the process of Friend we are open to everyone and no one. We are inclusive and exclusive because in being a friend to everyone we often lose contact with the nature of friendship which starts with our love of the self.

Self relates to that within us which perpetuates our desire for life and living in three ways. The first way is that we use our Self to fuel our fears and reactive desires. The second is use our Self to contain our fears and desires. The third is that we listen to our Self and know what our fears and desire truly are and where they come from.

In doing that there comes a point when Enemy, Friend and Self give up their masks and they unite to become your essential nature in the daily world. When this happens they make life and create connections to the inner nature of each and every event in our life and release the meaning of why we are here and where we are going.

We then know why we are angry, sad and hurting. We learn appreciation, acceptance and the nature of continuity. We understand the soul’s evolution through human consciousness and the constant rebirth of the individual.Intuitive abilities increase and we fall in love with life’s less glamorous offerings.

Noise is part of life, from the sounds of births to a jet plane at high speed, from the laughter of children to the hammering of gun fire, noise is everywhere, and so is silence.

Silence is in everything. When you feel stressed out, worn out, overwhelmed , or in a panic, angry, distressed or reflective, stop and listen to the noise, whatever it maybe.

Stop, and listen to the sound without any prejudice and as you listen regard the noise as a friend, listen through the noise, as as you do this, the noise evaporates . Silence appears, luminous, limpid and welcoming.

Let your Self dwell in the Silence. Dwell and rejuvenate your being, mind and body.

When you are ready to leave this inner silent place and return to the everyday world,

understand the noise is just a thorny hedgerow around the inner silence, and it really is not lasting or a barrier to you becoming calm.

However, when we get caught up in the myth of rush and anxiety, we try to force time and create artificial places for things to happen. Ultimately, every thing that has and is and will be, is taking place and happening right now, within you.

But the challenge is knowing that the inner world has different laws and rules of time and manifestation.

The outer world runs differently, quickly and is less constant. To bring the two together is through knowing that whatever you are feeling, experiencing, and wherever you are or your circumstance, that is where you are meant to be, for that time and for that place.

This is hard sometimes to understand or accept, but acceptance is the key to linking the inner and the outer so that they coexist as the same time and place, manifesting as a union of energy and consciousness. You are the same time and place.

Life’s challenges are expressions of time and place, as our emotions and intellect, our memories and our habits. Try to study how you relate to time and its passing in your life. Try to study how you react to places and their influence upon you, also see how your own sense of place, of where you are in your life daily, is influenced by how you feel, react and interpret the world through your thoughts, emotions and senses.

Know your time. Be the place you are now. If you need to break free of both, then doing this will enable you to move forward. Time moves within us, much greater than our minds can interpret. So does your inner sense of place, it is always in search of making itself actual in the daily experience of your world.

..to pause.. and recall the moments when we were still, when we laughed,

when we loved and when we had peace, and then promise to ourselves to give ourselves the opportunity..to pause, reflect and change how we react to those things that try to make us caught up in the rush of daily living.

Others say that Patience is not becoming upset or angered by people or events. That it is a form of tolerance and understanding. Some say that we all need to learn Patience.

To me, Patience is the relationship between my self and Life, other people and my connections to them. Patience is with us, waiting to be expressed from the time we are born. We are all born with Patience, but unless we are not encouraged to express it, we forget that we have it.

Patience is the voice of our relationship with nature, its the inate knowingness and it is the creator of Intuition and the supporter of all our most important changes in life. It gives birth to courage and to humility.

If you feel that you need more Patience with a person or a situation, or that you need to develop it, then sit quietly and ask your inner self to allow the Patience within you to emerge.

Then as it does, and do remember that it may appear not as you expect it, allow it to guide you in all your activities, thoughts , beliefs and actions.

Patience lies waiting to be invited in to your daily life.
