the past exerts a powerful hold ...

sometimes we can only conceive of the future by what has come before ...

that is a limitation.

co-creation is about imagining new possibilities ...

new vistas, new ways of seeing,

new ways of living ...

but much more,
the ultimate purpose of co-creation is to envisage, ultimately,

new ways of being

Love and Light to All

ever wonder how Microsoft became so rich?

easy, they have a monopoly -

called the Windows Operating System.

every time you buy a new computer or laptop, $100 - $200 of what you pay goes straight to Microsoft as licensing fees ...

you don't have a choice

this "Computer Tax" makes computers more expensive, and contributes to a fat, lazy company

Microsoft is inefficient,
doesn't listen to consumers, and produces products that people detest

surely it's time for this monopoly to crumble

just like the main character in the film "V for Vendetta", we always have a choice in how we act ...

it is not so much the action itself, but how we approach it ...

one driven by fear, will sabotage it's own outcome ...

one driven by desire, will become over-anxious for the fruits or results, and become distracted ...

true action, in accordance with the Universe, is not driven by either fear or desire ...

it is driven by rightness itself, by Truth

love and light to all

there has been much in the news in the last few days about broken "internet cables" in the middle east ...

the count is now at 3, and all undersea connections ...

apparently all by a "ship's anchor" and within hours of each other ...

so Egypt, Iran, and even countries extending to India have had their communications severely disrupted ...

just freak accident, or should Iran be getting very, very worried right now?

love and light in dark times

a favourite song, a well known tune, a stunning soundtrack ...

these are vibrations and notes that will live forever ...

not subject to the decay of images, or the distortion of words over time ...

music is in instrument that works directly to the soul ...

it hits us at the deepest level, triggering real feelings and perceptions ...

music is a mind-altering tool

love and light and sound to all.

whenever colonisation has taken place,

whether in recent times, or going back into the history of all time ...

the war has been strictly against the native tribes,

taking their land, their language, their ways of being ...

eradicating wisdom and knowledge of the Earth Mother ...

of the spiritual realm and sacred practices,

this war was done in Europe, the Americas, the Australias, and continues in Africa today,

the end point:

only one way of existence, one way of being

diversity is the way of the Universe.

love and light

what does the iphone have to do with spirituality?

good question.  it serves as an example of what can be;

of how well something can be done, something made beautiful and functional ...

it raises the expectations of what is ...

I believe spiritual teachers and wayshowers do the same for us ordinary folk ...

they show the elevation of spirit, the accomplishment of being ...

they raise the expectations of what can be achieved ...

with effort, duty, and persistence ....

we too can become iwarriors

love and light to all

ever slept for 8 hours, and still feel unrested?

remember those short sleeps, that were filled with dream activity and visions?

and you woke up feeling empowered and emboldened, like you knew what to do?

that is the healing power of dreams ...

they realign the psyche with one's True Purpose for Being Here ...

to fulill our mission on Planet Earth, to discharge our duties ...

dreams and visions are what carry us forth into Greatness and lasting Deeds ...

it is the Fuel of the Mind.

love and light my friends

who am I?

what is my role on this planet?

why did I choose this body?

these friends, these circumstances ...

what exactly is my mission?

am I on time?

on target?

will the help arrive when I need it?

questions, so many questions ...

the quest for an identity ...

not just any identity ...

but my true self.

love and light to you, my dear reader

sound waves are everywhere these days ...

the ipod and itunes have made each of us a walking dj collection ...

easy access to music that only a radio station would have had 10 years ago ...

we have become masters of the music,

but with mastery comes great power, and how we wield that power comes down to individual choices ....

we can set the mood, or we can while away the time ...

we can expand horizons, or be content with what we have

the mastery of music is truly in the palms of your hands

think of music as brain food; examine it closely before you put it in, it has nowhere else to go but around and around as thoughts

love and light

each of us has a guiding spirit that whispers to us ...

sometimes it is at night, in our dreams ...

and sometimes it is in the waking hours, as a voice prompting us to do something, or go somewhere ...

we are not left alone to make our way in an unfriendly world ...

the help is there: wise, compassionate, fully understanding our situation and moods ...

we just have to whisper quietly: "please help me, I don't know how to proceed next ..."

and the answer will come; an intuition, a fortuitous (but planned) meeting, a chance quote ...

it will all fall into place

that is the Way of the Universe ...

love and light

each is a sovereign individual

you are responsible for yourself in every way ...

your body, your thoughts, your development

how you progress is your choice alone ...

that is the principle of free will

it is the ultimate power; the choice to decide what happens in your corner of the Universe ...

it is yours, and yours alone

don't hand it to the church, the government, or the media ...

It is the Free Will

love and light

most of you are familiar with the 7 chakras that are contained in your body ...

they are your links to energy centers -

there are higher chakras, though, that connect you to more global, universal planes of existence ...

there you plug in, as a unit, another contributor to the greatness of the whole -

a nodal point ...

8th chakra: this represents your soul, as an integral unit, a whole, inseparable, your consciousness unit throughout time, on your great journey ...

9th chakra: connects you to the earth

10th chakra: connects you to the sun, and represents our solar system level of existence ....

11th and 12th chakra: are the galactic and universal chakras respectively. 

so from a simple soul, we elevate upwards through 4 levels to plug into the Universe, the Cosmos, the All

love and light

part of the illusion of this earhly existence is the feeling of separateness ...

being alone ...

not wanted ...

not needed ...

it is a trial designed to give us strengh ...

to re-inforce our self-belief ...

it is one of the most arduous tests in existence ...

but when we come through it -

as we all do -

the feeling of connectedness will be warmer than ever ...

knowing we are a vital, essential component of the Grand Scheme

the All that Is

love and light fellow seekers

what a piece of equipment this body is of ours!

it is self-healing

self-powered

self-growing

adapts to the weather

monitors the environment

gains strength

and is totrally responsive to our will. 

It is a fantastic vehicle for consciousness, for playing out this game in the 3D world ...

to realise the fruits of our actions ...

the end results of our thoughts and desires ...

the ultimate flesh suit in this simulated existence

Body, I thank you for safe passage

love and light

what is hard?

what is easy?

it all depends if you have the right equipment fot the task

try opening a door with your foot

not too easy is it?

but with the hand, it's a breeze

so it is with all challenges in life ...

if you have the right tools or knowledge, it's easy and doable ...

but if you're using the wrong equipment, damn, it's going to be hard

so the right (and appropriate) tool is essential

find that tool

love and light

meditation is a blissful thing

it can lead to awakenings ...

revelations ...

peaceful harmony ...

the key factor is one's mantra -

it tunes the mind into a certain frequency, opening the way.


a mantra can trigger a light trance -

or a deeper one ...

it can be a meaningful phrase -

or just certain sounds repeated silently.


the mantra is the key that unlocks the mind and all it's secrets

love and light

change is underway ...

forces are sweeping throughout our solar system ...

our sun is heating ...

the planets are heating ...

something is ready to be born ...

a new time ....

a new society ...

a new earth ...

things have to unravel before the new can arrive ...

there will be turmoil ...

a time of chaos ...

confusion ....

but only briefly (less than a year) ...

we are on time, and on the way ...

the spiral of change

love and light

let the past be the past

what is done is done

the consequences will follow

as they must;

but I have learnt my lessons.


I forgive my guilt

my shame

the wrongs that have been done

I release the demons of the past

to be free NOW

love and light

mroe and more events are crowding into each day ,,,

cramming for attention ...

people, blogs, videos, sms, email messages ...

the interactions are doubling, or tripling year by year ...

what a chance for karmic experience and learning!

more interactions = more learning

enjoy the fleeting nanosecond

love and light

why is time travel so important to so many people?

The ability to go back and change the past ...

what is done is done, the material world is imperfect anyway

by changing something in the past, you can't create a "perfect" present

just let it go, it is all transient anyway.


The ability to go to the future and "know" ...

if you accept the principle of free will, then nothing is pre-determined, absolutely fixed ...

the choice is always open, to every individual, at every moment, to make a choice ...

the future is a summation of all these "free-will" choices, happening every second, so -

the future isn't fixed, you can't go there.


Time Travel is a useful analytical tool, one for reflection

but it serves no real purpose in physical reality.

it is a dangle to deceive dreamers.

love and light

one of the greatest mysteries of all time ...

who was the prolific, fertile, insanely great William Shakespeare?

was it just some dumb hick actor?

or was it a front, a cover, a pseudonym for someone else?

1. Francis Bacon - the overmind of the English Court

some call him the frist thinker of the scientific method ...

2. Christopher Marlowe - talented playwright who died young

did he fake his death to live on as someone else?

3. Edward de Vere, the multifaceted Earl of Oxford

learned, courtier, poet, and sponsor of acting companies

is he the man?

love and light

how do you get into politics?

you join a political party

how can you get elected?

you've got no money, no name, no standing

What do you do?

you make a deal.  Someone with power gives you a break, and gives you a run.

What do they get?

a favor back.  It might be a year away, or 5 years, or 20 years, but the payback will come.  Always.

The further you go, the more deals you make, the more indebted you are.

Your integrity has been traded away.

Politics is not the avenue for change.

love and light

how many experiences can we have?

if you read novels, you probably know about the 7 basic plots

almost all stories can be fitted into one of these 7 patterns

so it is with life ...

the experiences we have, the relations we have with self, with others, with the cosmos ...

these are also limited in number

forget technology, there is nothing new under the sun

human experience and growth are the same as they were in the ancient days ...

patterns of experience ...

repeated over and over until we master them, learn them, become them ...

that is life's journey, to become the 6 stringed guitar, or the 88 key keyboard ...

to play all the notes ...

to sing the song of the Cosmos

love and light

can you tell if it's a guy or a girl just by the writing?

just by the words (flowery g's and liquid y's don't count)

some newspaper articles I've read, I've thought, this has to be a guy, it's so sharp and pointed ...

but it was a female writer.

and vice-versa -

pretty, flowing lines that belonged to a guy

am I still suffering from an element of sexist duality?

love and light

(and don't call me a chick!)

got a spot on your face?

easily fixed, just look in a mirror and clean it up

got a spot on your soul?

what do you do then?

you might not even know it's there ...

everyone else can see it ...

but they're too embarassed to point it out to you ...

you walk around, with your soul hair all unkempt, your soul beard in tangles, all these spots on your soul nose ...

and you don't even now!

so what's the soul mirror?

I think it's meditation ...

and the people who you know for a long time ...

they reflect back to you the soul inside.

question is, will you look?

love and light

hey, it's season 7 of Idol ...

but the first time I'm watching (thanks to the internet)

know what?

I'm hooked.

the personalities, the performances, the banter, the drama, the tension ...

and the vote-offs

with a reach of over 30 million viewers

Idol is a huge cultural force

and I'm loving this popular pleasure.


just a few weeks into season 7 we have a front runner, a critic and audience favourite -

it's David Archuleta

the one to beat (his vocals give me the tingles)

love and light and great tv (a rare treat)

in the last 3 months, I've been eating a lot more meat

it hasn't been a deliberate decision

it just happened

when I go shopping now, I head straight to the meat section

and get my beef, lamb, and pork (but no chicken)

this meat-urge has surprised me

I don''t know what to make of it

love and light

sometimes we need to feel safe again, to be protected ...

when we've been hurt

or we've had an argument

or something's happened, that we can't deal with

we go into our shell, retreat for a while, don't communicate, be alone

sometimes it's for a day, or a week, or even (in really bad times) for a whole year ...

we go inside, and nothing can prod us out

but stay too long ...

and one's shell becomes one's hell

love and light
