Redemption lies in restoring connectedness with all things

 Our belief in separation is the deepest conditioned belief that we hold. The belief that we live inside a bubble of skin and ego is very hard to release.

A sense of identity based around a separate struggling ego trying to survive in a hostile and precarious universe is ingrained in us from a very early age. 

This is the original sin, this is what we pass from generation to generation, a belief in separation. This is how we as the human race miss the mark. 

We have been sundering ourselves from the oneness of all things generation after generation. This is why we eat by the sweat of our brow, this is why our lives are full of struggle and fear, because in our minds we have separated ourselves from the rest of the universe. 

Our redemption consists in a restoration of our connectedness with the whole universe and our responsibility as a node of consciousness within that universe to play our part in its creative evolution in harmony.

The source of our problems, both as individuals, and as a race are quite simple. 

It is our belief in separation. When enough people in the world believe wholeheartedly in their connectedness with all things then our lives individually and collectively will be transformed.

September Workshop - Ancient Wisdom for Vital Living

Everything begins and ends in the mind. Should this belief be the foundation of your life?

One of the most empowering beliefs that we can have is the belief that everything begins and ends in the mind. 

There are many thing  in this universe  that we cannot take charge of, but, one thing we can be certain of, is the we are the emperor of our own mind.

If this belief is not at the foundation of our life then we are destined in one way or another to become victims. Belief in the power of your own mind and your ability to be in command of your mind is a cornerstone belief.

Most people find that accepting the belief that everything begins and ends in the mind is just too difficult to take. We are used to being victims . We are very, very conditioned to believing in our powerlessness.

So, this is how it ends up for us really, as we pass through the daily events of our life: a choice within our own mind, a choice of beliefs. 

Do we believe in our own personal powerlessness?

Do we believe in our own personal power? 

The world will only be a different and better place when more and more people accept their own personal power within the universe of their own mind.

We are forever. Death is a point of transformation, mortality is an illusion.

Death is a point of transformation, mortality is an illusion. We experience our own foreverness when we live in the Now and move out of the habit of living in linear time.


The deeper we go into the Now then the deeper we go into our own foreverness. 


We are a microcosm of a forever universe.


 We can discover the well-spring of that foreverness in the depths of the Now when we let go of striving for the future or clinging to the past.

This is when we experience our Godliness

We cannot escape living Now

Whether we anticipate the future or cling to the past, we do it now.

HOW TO BRING HEAVEN TO EARTH IN ONE EASY STEP

We would all like to create heaven on earth, to live our lives out in peace and happiness. 

Do we have to wait for death to enter the gate of paradise?

As I see it the gate to paradise is here and now waiting to be opened. The key to that gate is here waiting to be used, but, we have to change a fundamental belief to see and then grasp the key to unlock the gate.

Believe with all your heart and soul in the Oneness of all things, this is the key. It is only when we take hold of this key that we are able to open the gate to a new universe where separation, fear and anxiety disappear.

Practice becoming conscious of your connection with the Oneness. 

• Know that every time you eat and metabolise your food, it is an act of Oneness. 
• 
  
• Know that every time you allow the warmth of the sun penetrate your skin, it is an act of Oneness. 
• 
  
• Know that every time you stand under a tree and breath, it is an act of Oneness.
• 
  
• Know that every time you listen to your favourite music, it is an act of Oneness.
• 
  
• Know that every time you hug your child, kiss your husband or wife, it is an act of Oneness.

Fill your life with the Oneness. 

Fill your life with God. 

It is very simple. 

When you do this Oneness practice faithfully then you will begin to feel more and more strongly, as each day goes by, the joy of Heaven and the wonder of Paradise.

Imagine Again

Most of us have imagined ourselves as a very special person, doing something wonderful in the world.

Generally, this would have happened more frequently when we were young and innocent and had little difficulty stretching our mind in all directions.

As we get older we see ourselves as accepting more and more what we call the "realities" of life. Usually, imagination is the first victim of "reality" from this perspective.


The truth is that what we call "reality" is the illusion and all our childhood dreams nearer to the truth that we could ever believe.

Real education is the path of return to your childhood dreams, returning to a world where all things are possible.



When we apply ourselves to real education then you re-create your consciousness, dissolving the stiffness and rigidity of the adult conditioned mind and returning to the real innocence of unconditioned consciousness, free, creative and without limit.

This is your original nature, your divinity, your buddha nature.
