Your Happy Destiny Is Unavoidable
Do not fear change. Life has an order we do not understand yet, but always it moves towards equilibrium.
Here are some of my musings. I wrote this to a friend and now I send it to you, another friend. Spread the love around the planet. Some will find it difficult others will thrive.
There is a new consciousness rising on the planet it is based on love and fearlessness. Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie would be the foremost examples of awakened humans. They have no fear and they live lives of peace in the moment not contemplating the future or past, now is reality they share.
My own journey through hardship has forced me to become clear about peace, as I genuinely sought peace in my life. What I discovered was that peace is acceptance (allowance) of life as it is. That doesn’t mean we don’t envisage a better world and stay consistent with that vision in order to manifest it, I certainly have. It means that we stop resisting (fighting) life. What you resist persists what you look at disappears. All conflict is based on resistance, forcing against some idea or concept. Resistance feels negative, love or harmony flows with life, allowing it to carry you. When you let go of the conflict it disappears.
Many people are fearful these days and are sensing great changes across the planet. They are right to sense that. The planet cannot sustain our fear based practices and traditional ways of life. I am an economist myself and I know that we have created fear through the market system. Competition affects decisions as we focus on market share (niches) in order to profit maximise, we work against each other not in harmony with the greater good. The competitive self interested system moves us away from cooperation and generating ideas based on inspiration and focusing on what we love. When you follow your heart in life it can appear insecure and uncertain. Definitely you move into uncertainty and it feels disruptive however it turns out to be the most creative place as you come from a space of ‘I don’t know’. I have lived in uncertainty for many years now as I watch to see where life takes me. I have been without a home for 2 years and I tested living without money, in both cases life was exciting on that edge and I found that I was always supported by life, I could trust and let go of fear. That removed any sense of insecurity about providing the basics.
I came to understand that if my mind was positive and I kept focusing on what I would like to see happen things change in that direction. I am very aware of my emotions as they are inner guidance that is built into people to show them which way to go. If something feels good go for it and if negative you are working against your own nature. Harmony mirrors the natural system which works as an interconnected cooperative system. My work in peace was to discover that inner harmony mirrors outer harmony. So if we wish to live sustainably with the planet we have to find our own inner harmony. Harmony is built into humans through universal values and a natural impulse to cooperate. It is expressed as: love, peace, truthfulness, unity, kindness, compassion and so on, all the positive virtues are natures way of uniting groups which enhance survival and natural selection. When we move into negative emotions such as fear, jealousy, deception, manipulation, bullying and so on this moves people away from harmony into separation and their decisions reflect the fear they feel, this creates disharmony and breaks systems down. Fight and flight are natural of course but prolonged negativity, as we are witnessing through the media is creating deep fears and trauma’s in people which makes them risk adverse and frightened to go outside. This makes them controllable and willing to give up liberties.
Our world at this point is in a process of breaking down as fear and greed cannot harmonise with nature and the planet is responding as we are seeing through environmental change. Added to this is the mentality of fear which believes in not-enough and winners. In reality we do live in abundance but our mentality is poverty based and self interested we do not understand that giving is the real wealth (sense of abundance) and humility is oneness with life. So when there is fear of loss this moves us away from living in balance with life that has its own rhythm. I have experienced real abundance in life through spreading love as a clown, giving my time to others, allowing life to follow its rhythm and not concerning myself if things don’t turn out the way I think they should or return to me, I don’t mind. I let it come and go. I am grateful for every moment and everything I have. I believe I have too much yet I live in a converted garage owning less than most without the desire for more, yet I feel incredibly abundant and joyful. I have a rich inner life which is never dull and I am constantly expanding my awareness and understanding of life on earth and the cosmos. I live a simple life but it is full of surprises. I really love my life. I found my truth and haven’t looked back. I used to work as a professional but today I live to give.
I would like you to know that ‘your happy destiny is unavoidable’. We are moving into great change and there will be positive outcomes. Our society is primitive and is conditioned to fear change, yet change is what inspires new ways to look at the world. I now understand that what we see in others, if negative, is a mirror of our own unhealed aspects of self. The metaphor used is the finger pointing blame has 3 fingers pointing back, real responsibility lies within us – our world is a mirror, sometimes that can be hard to believe but today I am clear when I am honest, that it is true. When we own our negativity and realise that it is simply fear and we can transmute it into the opposite when we realise fear is false evidence appearing real.
As a clown I see people as they really are ‘beautiful’, I am very fortunate to see people and to realise that they are innocent and doing their best. Travelling the world showed me people are all the same, there is no-one who is unacceptable, each play their part. The negativity is just pain that is not healed or dealt with, Eckhart Tolle calls it the pain body and across our world there is an active pain body that is fuelled by violence. To de-escalate that pain there must be no reaction to it, presence (awareness) disappears the pain, as you become aware it loses its power. Most in power do not know this. It is worth having a look at The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle to understand egoic consciousness, grievances and the history of the planet. He is a former Oxford academic who awakened. He states ask life what is the purpose for you. See his video below introduced by Oprah Winfrey:
The peace work is ultimately to help people face their pain and transform it into positivity and live in reality. For people to discover each has power and we are all equal. We have equal wisdom. Reality is now and it works for our highest good when we are clear. Byron Katie is the best person on the planet to show you how to question thoughts and turn them around, her website is www.thework.com I would encourage Richard and your team to look into this and if you apply it you will see the world without a story and realise it is all good. It ensures personal responsibility for every negative thought, imagine if everyone did – no more bullying, ignoring others, nor fear of people, we would own our projections. Even the difficult situations in the middle east and the current situation in Syria is happening for a purpose and there is good emerging in terms of the world consciousness and empathy for the refugees. There is much that goes on that is not reported in the media.
When people across the planet are taught to think in a way that focuses on what they want rather than what they don’t want, this will change future outcomes (refer Esther Hicks teachings – law of attraction). Our thoughts are powerful and they indeed create the reality we experience. So when we change our thoughts we literally change what we see. When we clear negativity out of our thought process we start to look at the world without a story and we see it as it is. Peace is beneath the drama, always. It is a way of seeing where we are no longer judging each other but being present with each other and honouring differences. I have come to see there are no mistakes and everyone does their best given their perception of the world. If I was in their shoes I’d do the same.
If we want a world that is trusting, trust. If we want a loving world then love, if we want peace then live it. That is why Gandhi said ‘be the change you wish to see in the world’. As you be it so it is.
World peace will happen when each of us understands the peace within. Every person is great, that greatness emerges when they let go of fears.
Nothing is impossible.
The future will be amazing.
Peace and love,
