Be Your Own Light

Watching the snowflakes fall in the early morning, added to the extraordinary silence. The light glow of the pre-dawn and distant stars, which had not been covered by the snow clouds, enhanced the feeling.

How do we relate to others on this planet of ours? Do we judge others by what we see and hear, or do we relate through feeling for the truth? I ask these questions because so many relate through visual and sound only, forming judgments and opinions based upon their conditioning, therefore they are not really relating at all.

Within each human being is a male, female and neutral element. The male energy expands and repels, whilst the female contracts and attracts and the neutral remains passive, yet it can be affected by the extremes of the male and female. Judgments are mind related and feelings are whole body or heart related, so to truly relate requires no thought.

This world is divided by human thought, by individual conditioning, religion, creed, colour of skin, language, etc. We all think in language and this is a taught to us from a very young age and learning through vocal expression continues until the day we die, yet very few people stop and question its roots. If there were no language, how would we live?

Is it possible to relate without thought? If not, then there is no true relationship. Many people choose a partner based upon looks and personality and rarely upon non-distorted feelings, which brings us back to the fact that each individual is inwardly both male and female and it is these two that are at war. This reflects in the state of the external relationship. The issues you have with your partner are the very issues you have with yourself.

If the mind was free we would naturally attract the right partner to us and vice versa. This is because the cells emit a frequency and attract a similar frequency to it, so they gather together. If you are emitting a balanced energy you should attract a balanced energy into your life. The same principle of like attracts like, also applies also to distorted energy.

If you list your ideal traits of the perfect partner, then these are based upon desire and desire will bring about your suffering. If your list describes traits that you already have, then you can share with the partner that you attract, but if you lack the traits that you desire in your partner, then the relationship will bring you various acts of drama. You will want that person to fulfil the lack within you and this creates an element of parasitic behaviour, which is not love, it is deceit. Be the supplier of your own needs and your own light, only then can you truly share and have a relationship with another.

The dawn has broken and the snow is thick upon the ground. It sits perfectly upon the branches of the apple tree where a blackbird chirps loudly as it knocks the snow off a rare remaining apple. It must be time for breakfast.

Creativity & Life are One

Creativity & Life are One

Whilst living on the earth, the human being has many ways of expressing its energy. Some people express themselves through physical activities such as sport, others through mental activities and some use the hands to create through art, sculpturing, building, etc. Problems arise when the creation lacks the energy of the heart. Many things created by humans have a distortion in them and they lack a certain beauty and joy. These things have been created by the egoic mind which has not included love and inspiration. Creations from the mind are based on the conditioning and memories of the individual; they are creations of the past and they have nothing new in it. They are built to engage the minds of others and so real beauty goes undiscovered.

Most of us are taught to drop heart based creations when we are young. We are conditioned to believe that the mind is more important than feelings and educational subjects such as art, dance and drama are secondary to intellectual pursuits. Envy soon follows as we are taught to compete and become a ‘somebody’. We leave behind that innocent, intuitive being as we excel in that which is expected of us and we close down the natural inquisitiveness and the drive to find out the truth for ourself.

As we grow older the mind becomes more stressed as it is filled with complex language, data, facts and figures. The creative being inside has been bound and gagged and shoved into a corner as the intellectual conditioning takes hold. We move far away from our natural abilities to sing, dance, paint, draw, sculpt, observe nature and laugh and in its place we say, ‘I can’t’ or ‘I shouldn’t’. This beautiful intuitive, joyful aspect of ourself can no longer express itself as it does not know how to create something distorted, ugly and destructive, so it slowly fades away because it is not allowed to love.

True creativity is an expression of joy from the heart. This is not something that can be given to you nor can it be taken away. It can be covered over by the expectations from others and your own desire to strive to become something other than who you really are. What gift do you have inside of you, which you can share with the world? What was your childhood dream? This dream to express yourself through joy is what you came here to do, so what stops you from doing it? If you lost your job, your house, your car, your friends and your money, then what would be left? Only you would be left, which has all the inspiration and creativity ability that you will ever need.

If you are using your creative skill in your job, but you are not happy or it lacks joy, then you need to take action to change it, because before long you will stagnate in the idea of being safe and secure. Most people hold back from expressing themselves because they are afraid. They fear what everyone around them will say and think, yet most people have a deep yearning to break out of the confines of their conditioning and become the innocent care-free, creative, loving being that they really are. If you can do it, then everyone else can…Live a creative life starting from today. Look within and find out what would bring you the most joy from your heart…and then do it!
