Have you ever made a mistake you regretted? Do you wish decision making was less frustrating? Do your choices reflect what you really need? Accurate discernment is central to our experience & enjoyment of life. But it’s not usually part of traditional schooling. Let’s put aside what we were taught and start making up for lost time… In Part 1 of this ‘TOO EMOTIONAL?’ series we postulated that our society had made a big mistake! That we had excessively promoted a ‘scientific ap

Humans are innately emotional. We’re VERY emotional beings: perhaps the most emotional creature we know of! But are we really ‘TOO EMOTIONAL’? Many believe that ‘being emotional’ is a handicap to rational functioning. Many believe that emotions cause intolerance & even conflict on Earth. They have convinced us to suppress & downplay our feelings. This has been a subtle part of our education & social conditioning. Was this approach all wrong? Have we unwittingly diminished & d

Our true POWER comes from maintaining SOVEREIGNTY over our thoughts #selfesteem #emotions #transformation #reality #wisdom #discernment #contemplation #egomind

Spiritual REALISATION bypasses the Ego-mind. It directly utilises experiencing and BEING. #attachment #transformation #reality #awareness #wisdom #contemplation #connection

What’s the nature of the ‘Universal Mind’ & ‘Cosmic Consciousness’? What a profound question! The answer must of course be speculation & hypothesis. At best it’s a theory that requires much more investigation & analysis. This however may be man’s greatest scientific & spiritual quest! In simplistic terms, the Universal Mind would be responsible for processing & maintaining all the information received. We are of course referring to the whole Cosmos! This Universal Mind would

We seem to be made of solid matter! Our skin, tissues & bones all seem separate or solid. But we know from science & conventional atomic theory that this ‘solid matter’ is mostly ‘space’. Atoms & subatomic particles take up less than 1% of that space. But is that spare space really empty and made of nothing? The answer could be so simple, so elegant and so profound. If some maverick scientists are right, this will radically change the way we view everything! Not only in the w

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

We can usually accept that personal growth will benefit an individual. But did you know there are also BENEFITS TO OTHERS AROUND? This extends to the human collective and even our whole Planet! The benefit to Humanity may be much greater than we imagine. We are being of service to others. Let’s explore how this is possible. People who are positive & loving, spread good influence through their positive interaction. This has an OUTWARD ‘RIPPLE EFFECT’. It also cascades down to

Let’s consider a more controversial life lesson (No. 29) which is: WE ARE TRYING TO LIVE SOMEBODY ELSE’S ‘IDEAL LIFE’. Unknowingly, thought our childhood & social conditioning, WE SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONCEIVE A CONCEPT OF WHAT ‘OUR IDEAL LIFE’ SHOULD BE. We usually don’t realise this has occurred, or to what extent. Instead we should utilise our unique individuality and deep knowing regarding this. However, the contrary has been deeply ingrained and conditioned into us. We have b

In the previous blog post we posed the profound question ‘Who am I?’. We invited you to deeply contemplate this dilemma. We postulated that ANY highly intelligent & conscious entity, however large or small, would eventually ask this same question. It would seek to understand its origins. The largest such Intelligent Awareness that we could potentially envision is the entire Cosmos or ‘All that is.’ This is sometimes termed ‘Cosmic Consciousness’ or ‘Universal Consciousness'.

SPIRITUALITY is an inner journey where we discover our TRUE SELF #spirituality #awakening #innerjourney #awareness #wisdom #lifepurpose #contemplation

Our Ego-mind wants to identify, separate & disable any rival. Even if that rival ‘guidance system’ is an integral part of our true sovereign nature! Any alternative is however seen as an existential threat to the Ego’s power & control! Instead of just using Ego, our true ‘sovereign-self’ uses a guidance system that extends far beyond thought. This ‘inner-guidance’ process cannot be easily defined or described. It’s beyond conventional terms, symbols or concepts. It’s beyond t
