I was given this by an annomous person who wrote it four years ago.....when I first read it, I had a different interpretation but knew it was special.  I found it again yesterday and now acknowledge the powerful wisdom in it and felt compelled to share.....

As we create all that happens to us through our thoughts, beliefs and expectations it behoves us to be cautious when we use the most powerful creative words in the English language - "I AM".

We are not our emotions, yet we identify so strongly with them that we find ourselves saying "I am angry", "I am a failure". "I am sick" is seeing things as they are and knowing that these are not permanent conditions... unless you cling to them by identifying with them.

If you would penetrate these emotions you would find that they become self-revelatory as you are led to the beliefs behind such feelings.  When you become more and more aware of your directing influence upon what seems to 'happen' to you, your concious mind will no longer fear the emotions, or the body, as threatening or unpredictable, but sense the great creative collaboration that is inherent, and you will begin to take responsibility for your own creations.

Physical phenomena are not the cause of your beliefs and emotions, but the result.  Awareness is the key to creation.  Become aware of your thoughts and feelings and see how often you choose fear.  Realise that these feelings form your experience.

The bottom line of every challenge you face is "which path shall I choose, fear or love?" Indeed, every personal problem, every global event whether it be natural disasters, wars or other forms of violence asks the same question of you.  "Which path shall you choose, fear or love? Most of us think that love is our relationship to some other person or object in the physical plane and it is not.  Love is our relationship with the source of all life and conciousness, and that implies trust and confidence.  The real meaning of faith.

Know that you have never done anything wrong and that you are not being punished.  Nor are you abandoned or unloved.  The moment you become aware of your inseparable relaionship to the source of all life and conciousness, you can consciously draw on its greater strength, understanding and energy.

It is always available, but your concious intent will bring about certain changes in you that will automatically trigger such benefits.  So you don't have to be a mystic to use these powers.  All you need is intent.  Show your intent by saying to yourself mentally over and over again - I choose love".

Every time you feel the emotions of fear run through the corridors of your mind, declare your intent...."I choose love", and watch the miracle begin.

I recently posted a status update on facebook "The greatest gift one can give another is their presence..." I personally find it one of those most profound statements that says so much, and I think in society today has been forgotten or put in the back blocks of our minds.  We are now living in a world where attention spans of people are shorter than they were before, everyone wants and demands information at an instant and goes into complete distress if it is not available.  We are also so consumed with ourselves that we seldom take the time to think of another let alone feel their presence.  Sure we give ourselves on a shallow level and sometimes even allow some deepness of thoughts however, our minds are always drifting to our selfish thoughts/needs, of what we are gaining from the situation or person, even sometimes without being conscious of it.

So what does presence really mean, to some it is simply a person being in your company and listening to what you have to say, some of the time and fleeting back and forth from their own thoughts that are jumping through their head while you speak.  To me presence is sharing your energy with another whether you are with them physically or not, you are giving complete love and presence to their being unconditionally.  When someone is completely present with you, you can feel them, with distance being of no consequence.

I am a great believer that we are on a path of great self discovery and everyone that crosses our path does so for a reason, whether it good or bad we need to take from it the learning.  I had a comment posted after I wrote the update saying "Only if you like them" this is a very valid point if you are in that mindset.  To start with no one will entirely give their presence to you unless they feel intuitively that it is wanted/needed or required.  If they do then you should be blessed that someone cares enough about you that they would voluntarily share that energy with you.  If you don't like the person as was the comment say thank you and move on, they will naturally remove their energy from you.

I think we are too quick to judge and rely heavily on first impressions which are usually made up of stories in the past, the person who is offering you their presence may not be so bad after all.  When the world is going so fast and we are living on that ultimate buzz of more and more, you will find that you are never really completely satisfied, if you slow it right down and simplify you might realise that you get more joy out of the simple things that are right in front of us and then you might actually feel the glow inside of someone's presence.  Wow what an amazing feeling!

Such an interesting thought, and one if you ask most people some will say they dream and more often than not the things they dream about don't come true and if they do most people are not concious of it.  I had an interesting question asked of me a few weeks ago and I gave the most normal, but now I see obscure answer, the question was if I could have anything that I dreamed of to happen this year what would it be?  My answer was "well this week if I write this copy, employe these staff, write this proposal and turn over this much revenue then that would be good..."

My god what an answer!  I left there thinking is that where my head is at, so consumed with my business and the daily chores of life that I have forgotten the wonderful things in life that I dream about.

It is such an interesting question when you really give it some thought and I mean really open your mind to it without any boundaries of that's impossible or how could that possibly happen.  It is not the question that you should throw away as insignificant, because we only have one life and why not surround yourself with things that make you feel incredible, and I am not just talking material things, I am talking about things that make your senses scream, from the feel of crisp white sheets, lying on the lounge with lots of cushions on a rainy day lost in a fantastic book, the smell of home cooking, a swim in the ocean, the sand under your feet, kissing the one you long for and thought you would never have, the smell of single rose, the peace and sanctuary of meditation and deep thought, the wind in your face as you are skiing the slopes, the adrenaline of a horse underneath you galloping on the beach, I could go on and on,  I am talking about simple things that are amazing and create feelings and memories in your mind that make you happy, every time you think of them.

So after a few days of contemplation over the question, I started to write my list and actually feel what I was writing and visualise it, interesting concept don't you think?  Not really how can something you dream about become a reality if you don't actually see it, live it and breathe it.  You may all think well how is that possible?  I will give you an analogy, think about when you take on a new position or job, you are paid to perform a duty so you don't think can I do this or not, you assume the position and away you go.  So imagine if you assumed the position and your dreams became the reality in your mind, automatically things would start to happen and your dreams will start to come true, because it is all a matter of how badly you want something to be a reality.  Change your mindset to create the reality.

I am happy to report that I am well on the way to achieving my dreams and only in a short period of time, because now I have a purpose to perform, because I have listed what makes my heart sing.  Everything is possible if you just open your mind to the possibility, don't sleep walk through life and complain about why life is like it is, if you want something go and get it, make your dreams a reality.

I can almost see it pounding out of my chest..... Why is that some people that you meet in life make your heart beat twice as fast, make you nervous and sweat, and worst of all stuff up your words over and over again.  

This has only happened to me probably 2 times in my life, one stands out more than the other, I literally can't write, think straight or speak to the person without second guessing myself or spending a great length of time preparing my self for a simply conversation.  

Wow! How amazing is it, for a person to have that effect on you.  I went to a lunch the other day with a group of Surgeons and Doctors and we started discussing this very subject, apparently it has a lot to do with the chemical reaction between two people, it means that you are really supposed to in animals terms mate with that person, or a least connect in some way....how you deal with the nerves I don't know, to this day I have not found a cure however, I have to say that as I get older I am starting to face my demons and connect with these love gods that effect my body so much, quite simply for the pure delight of knowing.

I also think that as you get older you really start to like who you are and what you can offer the world or another human being, and that then gives you the confidence to say you know what I am ok :)

Have you ever let your mind drift into the universe and be really open to having a thought on anything and everything......

I floated on my back in the pool today for a good 20 minutes which felt like an eternity.  My thoughts flitted about from work, children, home responsibilities, new love, birds, clouds, eternity, fantasy and on and on..... I find it quite amazing, your mind and the rate that it operates, it is like central station, the amount of information we capture every minute of every day there's no wonder it is full and buzzing.  With some focus I had complete silence and no more chitter chatter, pure bliss.  Floating around in a nothingness of no worry, freedom and beauty, almost like a butterfly without a care in the world.  

One thing I have learnt in life is that no matter what is going on in your head, all your worrys and stresses, if you take a step back from them for only a moment and go to a peaceful place the worry's don't seem so bad and almost always fix themselves if you simply have belief and faith. Most of the time we create more of an issue than there really is.

It is a gift to clear your mind to a nothingness, and yet it is so healing and will benefit everyone around you, you simply fall into a mediative phase, be concious of what your mind is doing and switch off the thoughts, be centered and bring it back to you.  Those who achieve this have the most amazing energy.  Like attracts like, create a world where everyone around you carry's the same wonderful energy.  Smile :)

I have recently fallen over someone, who is making me giggle like a little girl, smile all the time and carry a permanent glow.  There is some truth in people come into your life when you least expect it and also for a reason.  I have an amazing sense of comfort and faith in our connection, it is truly like we have lived parallel lives.  When you all of a sudden can write the most amazing poetry and nothing really bothers you, your body becomes electric and people notice.  I feel that these connections are so rare and very special, some people search there whole lives and never find them.  One should never label a connection, they should let it be exactly how it is meant to be, whether its lasts a moment, a day or a lifetime.  I fully intend to enjoy this wonderful feeling for as long as it is here, that is the true gift.

how is it that we are all born so pure and our brain is like a sponge learning at an extraordinary fast rate and sucking in so much of what is around.....Big eyes and ears thriving in anticipation of learning something new.  Along the way we grow up and develop demons inside our mind that we can live with for a life time and can stop us from achieving our dreams and things that make us really happy.  

Every action creates a reaction...........

Every action of another snowballs and effects others on a scale that can’t be measured, have you ever stopped for a moment and pictured in your mind all the thousands of thoughts that are flying through the universe freely, these thoughts are transformed into actions, an energy release, a physical look or action and then a word spoken.  All of these thoughts can effect you in your path to self discovery because you will automatically interpret that action/look/feeling or word in accordance with a story in your mind.

So you might say, How do I make a pure clear interpretation of the message or action?  You can’t because you will never clearly and purely understand the exact message that is being sent, because it is impossible to understand another's makeup and journey.  The truest form of communication is through intuition and energy....... because that is from a pure place

Have you every heard the saying 

“actions speak louder than words”?

How true is that!  Have you ever been in a situation where you are hearing what they are saying and their entire body language and energy is saying a different thing.  I think when you understand that we are all a creation of our surroundings and beliefs and we have all been taught by either our friends, parents, teachers and those of influence around us on what they believe to be write or wrong, we have taken in a percentage of what they have said including their energy and body language and then mixed it all up together to create what you believe to be true and correct in your own mind.

I think ultimately my message is to always follow your gut, your natural intuition is the best guide in any situation, because that is guided from a pure place ‘YOU’ your body will always guide you in the right direction.  Just stop one day breathe and listen to the silent words and feelings it speaks.  Be open minded to the possibility, and understand the actions and words of another are not personally directed at you, they are formed from the events that have surrounded that person over the last second, minute, day, week or even life time and they are delivered from many stories in their head as well.

hmmmm why does it feel like even though you are a grown up you are still on this eternal journey of where is my place in the is world and is this really what I expected it to be, what happened to all my dreams..... and why is it that life is never really like your dreams, why do we believe that surrounding ourself with materials things is supposed to give us joy and complete happiness.  

What ever happened to a thought, a letter, a feeling, a moment in time, how did we all of a sudden become so obsessed with ourselves that we forgot to give and share with others.  Why are some so superficial and vain that they feel they are in a better class, and my god how did it get to the point where people die from surgery just to have a tighter butt, has it come to the time where we feel we are not worthy of love unless we have enough friends, wear the right clothes, drive the best cars and get invited to the best functions.  

Have you ever stopped for a moment and just taken in someone, smelt there smell and allowed them to touch you and come into your space, have you ever closed your eyes and really felt what it was like to be loved unconditionally by one with whom didn’t fit your list.  Could you possibly overcome the fact that this person may not be the right height, weight, nationality and bank balance to realise that when the right people meet, you become your true-self.  

Have you noticed how some people simply glow with some and not with others, could that be because finally someone has seen inside you and really makes you shine.  Could we simply stop for a moment in time and simply enjoy another without a label, without any repercussions and simply enjoy it for what it is.  Why is society so that we can’t express our natural chemistry unless it is online, why are we not brave to say hello when our entire body is telling us too........

while I sit and take in a big slow breath...........

Breathe and sigh :)

I have an interest in human behavior, the power of ones mind and the constant thoughts that rummage around your head, I have a natural intuition and can read people, probably because I like to observe.  I have in the past given a lot of my energy away to save people and have now learnt that people need to save themselves and my energy is best shared with ones that equally return theirs.

Welcome to my blog, come and visit often and please make comments, be kind to me I write a lot and have never shared......, I have so many thoughts swirling through my head that I can guarantee most people can relate to.
