About
I’ve always wondered about life and how it’s pieced together. There was no living source or guide book to answer my most pressing questions.
I am one of those contemplatives who spends a lot of time on their own being highly productive in sleuthing. Not intentionally. It just happens that way. A thought comes to mind, nudged along by intrigue, and off it would take me to who knows where.
Life and people never made much sense to me. I could never figure out why people were so conflicted in life. It is so beautiful to look at, easy to appreciate and yet held down by a destructive weight.
In many ways I was awake to what was going on around me, but also acutely aware of my own limitations and what this might mean to the interpretation of my own experiences.
I didn’t understand why possibilities fell so short and that potential was just that.
There was a vital element missing to the puzzle I was piecing together, a piece that was right under my nose but entirely invisible and unrealised.
I assumed people were their potential realised, not understanding that like me, they were just as perplexed by an incomplete mystery. One of trying to fit in, stand out, be seen. In other words, be loved in the only way they knew how.
What I did notice. People trying to bend the rules or make up their own rules to fit in with their life but life doesn’t work that way.
Living on earth comes with unconditional laws and if we try to move against the current of these laws, we feel it in our Heart, and what we feel in our Heart is mirrored in our experiences. These laws are there to protect us, help us and guide us, and if we really listen, they allow us to enjoy a relationship of co-creation that is pure, generous and full of beauty.
It is a silent language that speaks through us.
When I felt the full crashing of my physical being against the emotional weight of what I was always fighting against I was genuinely startled to discover that the missing piece to my Self was what I always relied upon to navigate life and its complexities. I felt duly upset. My immediate response was, why did no-one tell me? Reassure me that the part of my Mind I was in tune with was in fact the part of my Self that was most essential to my understanding for my balance and well-being.
I guess it wouldn’t be the journey of reclaiming my wealth, my full worth if the journey was so easy. We have to feel our experiences as deeply as we are able to if we are to help restore harmony and balance to a world where our humanity has faltered.
Our Spirit is everything to our well-being. It is not a religion, or an ideology but a very basic most simple fact. Our life force is our Spirit and if it is crushed we lose our balance and we struggle to find our way.
Life is experiential for all of us. We each have a precious story to tell so we can help weave change into how we want our history to be told and how we want to imagine the future. My story is no exception.
I am here to help create a society of strong Minds so that over time the very systems and structures of governing that caused suffering to my Mind and to the Minds of so many can be changed. To do this work my Soul had to go where it needed to go for maximum learning. I met all the right people and lived and worked in the perfect environments to help me understand how to be a part of this change. I would not be qualified otherwise.
It becomes easy to move with life and to accept people just as they are when you have felt the touch of suffering and love cupped tenderly in your own hands. Life is sweet. Life is precious. I see the smallest of insects going about their business. I remind my Self to take care in my movements.
Finding my voice has not been easy. I just take my time. Let it come. And come it does. One day at a time.
What I do and know
I talk about matters of the Heart.
The humbugs that skirt beneath the dusty cellar of our Mind.
I talk about Love. Its origin, its light infusing our veins all the time.
I talk about meeting our Mind.
Laying solid foundations rich in human frailty, beauty, courage and tenacity.
I talk about joining the dots of our own making with those whose permission we have constitutionally granted, at will, to ensure our proper care and protection.
I talk about being relational...
...values, valuable, valued.
And Listening.
Daring to courageously walk into the fog, to redirect our gaze.
To invite in a new stream of consciousness.
Life is experiential. We were born to feel our way and as long as we are moving like a flowing river, we will always see life as a perfect mirror of our Self.
