Many of us are relatively fortunate. We probably haven’t had our lives affected by gross trauma. We might not have been subjected to gross poverty, war, violence, alcoholism or drugs, etc. But could we somehow still have been traumatized and not even realize this? PAST TRAUMA IS AN ADDITIONAL CHALLENGE TO OVERCOME! There is an ongoing stress that follows a traumatic life-event. It’s not just the event itself. The resultant subconscious memories can be considerable. These ar

Our mind is normally lit up & burning with racing thoughts. #emotions #habits #challenges #egomind #stress

Why is this Paradigm Shift inevitable? There are currently two powerful driving forces: The first is the ‘accumulated toxicity’ in the current global system. This ‘toxic load’ has become too great to bear! Both the environmental burden and the human cost are now too great.The status quo is no longer sustainable! Secondly, the ‘emotional threshold’ of what people will tolerate has now been exceeded. The collective pressure & force for change is now too great. This situation is

Our lives seem to lack direction! We just don’t understand the meaning & purpose of our life. So, we can wander aimlessly. We get trapped in the material world, with its temporary pleasures & tempting distractions. Is it just about competition & survival of the fittest? CONTEMPLATE THE TRUE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE! The discussion below is an opportunity for you to START this important INNER process. Seeking your true purpose is an important part of personal development and your

We can never really control other people or our world… but we CAN control how much LOVE we give in response #gameoflife #gratitude #wellbeing #lifetest #discernment #lifebalance #unconditionallove #resilience #challenges

Part (a) Facing our traumas Think back on your own life; right back to your earliest memories. How has it really been? HOW HAS IT REALLY FELT?... Often, we feel alone, vulnerable & insecure. We might feel totally out of place! It’s as if we don’t belong in our birth family, or even on this planet! We’ve probably also had some traumatic life events, or perceived some experiences as being quite distressing. We might feel wounded and needing to compensate or defend our self i

Spiritual evolution requires that some relationships will dissolve. Energies must align. #gameoflife #spirituality #attachment #lifecrisis #challenges #stress #connection

The world is in a bad way! What a mess! Everything seems in CHAOS. This seems so apparent. Bad news is everywhere! We watch it on television, read it in the press, hear it on the radio and view it on our internet feed. If it’s not overt conflict & death, then it’s fear of more terror. WE EXIST IN A STATE OF GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY & GREAT TURMOIL. Political instability contributes to this uncertainty, triggering uprising or revolt. Each nation fears some other. One community rese

We are NOT that outer facade or ‘mask’ we wear. We are not just our social conditioning! We don’t need to remain wounded & skewed by past traumas. WE CAN BREAK FREE OF ALL THAT MIND CONTROL! We have the right to choose happiness! We have the right to be permanently happy! Each of us is a unique and precious individual. We each have deep inner needs and a unique life purpose. Only by discovering this special purpose and exploring our potential will we find contentment & fulfi

Deep within us, we all have unique personal drives: our inner needs, desires & dreams. WE UNKNOWINGLY SUPPRESS OUR POWERFUL INNER-DRIVES for the perceived benefit of our family, clan & community. So, we march to someone else’s drumbeat, not to our own unique rhythm. We unwittingly surrender our individuality & uniqueness to group pressure! This leads to life lesson No. 61: COMPLYING WITH GROUP VALUES MAY NOT BE OUR BEST OPTION By complying with group norms, we deny ourselve

Most of us lead relatively unsatisfactory lives! WE LEAD LIVES OF RELATIVE MISERY in comparison to what is possible; yet we fiercely deny it! Why? We could have a more meaningful & fulfilling life. We could perceive things differently, respond & behave differently… if we really wanted too! WHY DO WE CONTINUE ON AS BEFORE? Why do we wear a brave face and put on such a false front? Is this FALSE MASK & PERSONA for the benefit of others? Just to appease others? Somehow, we

Sometimes we glimpse the potential benefit of changing our life. Then doubts arise: Should we attempt changing? Will it really succeed? Is it worth the effort? What problems will it produce? OUR DOUBT, DISTRUST AND EVEN CYNICISM CAN SURFACE! Often, we don’t fully accept it’s worth the effort or the risk involved. Or, we don’t really believe we can achieve this. We don't trust the process. Sometimes we foresee potential problems in changing. As a result, WE CAN BECOME UNCE

Any URGENCY of time or place BREAKS the loving embrace of this NOW MOMENT #stress #nowmoment #unconditionallove #habits #challenges

HOW MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE TIME DO WE HAVE? How much health & vitality do we really have left to do the things that mean the most to us. How much time do we have to find our inner purpose, fulfillment & true joy. THE PRACTICAL REALITY of life is that we need time to sleep, eat and take care of ourselves - to earn a living and generally manage our lives. So, how much uncommitted time do we really have left? If we delay changing, we also waste energy resisting our inner-needs.

The Truth can be SO SIMPLE, but NOT always SO EASY to accept. It can be quite a shock! In this discussion we will present ONE MAJOR TRUTH: It concerns WHO WE REALLY ARE! Do you think you really know? Preliminary warning & advice: It helps if you take the offered explanation very slowly. We suggest that you briefly pause & contemplate the deeper meaning, after every sentence. To allow this truth to really sink in, it’s also important to deeply visualize what has been stated. F

LET’S START WITH A WARNING… Some people have an initial Realization then rush off and make dramatic or even drastic changes to their lives. There are stories of people who, after a life-crisis, completely change their job, their lifestyle and even their relationships. They make a complete ‘sea change’: For example, a merchant banker or top executive who now seems content to run a small hobby farm or simply to meditate in nature. Some move to a commune or adopt some ‘altern

SOCIETY CONDONES THE STATUS QUO of not changing our self, by encouraging temporary solutions! We have previously discussed the usual ‘SOCIAL ADDICTIONS’ commonly used for temporary relief, such as caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. If we really want to protest our discontent, we might also experiment with additional ‘HARD DRUGS’. We try these to numb our deep despair in this way - to try to artificially break through to who we really are. We seek to distract from or bypass our
