The Path

Our life path brings us upon many a tough climb that can be so grueling that we often forget to take a moment and look at where we are.

We forget to enjoy the process.

Yes change is difficult, and many steps can offer an unsure footing at times.

And therein lies the leap of faith.

Why?

Because regardless of where we come from or what our beliefs are, we believe that there is a purpose for everything.

Our life purpose...

So what is it all about?

Many people have asked themselves this very question in times passed.

And yet each and every one of those path seekers will tell you a different meaning for life.

If we all have a different meaning for life then what is the meaning of life?

To me it is a path.

We learn and teach every step of the way, often not really knowing on a macro level, what we are moving towards.

Yes there's the next meal, or the next night out or that special treat you want to buy for yourself or that special someone and of course our careers.

So if life is a path for a bigger purpose, why do we feel such a pull towards the little things?

And why do we get so enthralled in life's debate over these little things?

Because like anything else in this physical world, our personal lives or paths are something we build upon.

One little piece at a time.

We put our heart into so little.

Its now more common to acquire something as a status symbol.

"Wait until you see what I just got."

Building a path of resentment and greed.

This path only leads to more of the same because you will never have everything, this is impossible!

When we open our hearts to our true path, we change.

We change our desires,

We change our focus,

We change our path!

For many who find their path, life stays relatively the same. They still have their job, their family, their house, most of their beliefs and for some nothing changes at all.

Or so it may seem.

They appear happier in themselves of course and yet they are doing the same things they always have. Except, they're not....

A righteous path is one of belief.

Belief in what you are here for.

Believing that happiness is the key to fulfilling your destiny.

We are all different beings with different goals for happiness.

Take a long hard look at yourself and what your happiness goals are.

Ask yourself, "will that be enough to make me happy?"

Happiness is a choice, just like the 4000 sq ft house for 2 children.

We really need very little to live, and even less to survive.

So when asked if you could have anything in this world, anything at all, what would it be?

How much would you ask for?

What could it be that would help you to figure out your meaning of life?

What would make you happy?

Ego Death

The ego is a very powerful tool within our society. The whole model is used and pushed very well and has been for 1000s of years. Since history was recorded, the biggest egos of the planet have ruled it for their own personal gain and still now today that is exactly what is happening. The ego wants the big flash car and the two holiday's and the big house. The heart only wants to be happy.

I dont know about you but I would be happy enough once I had my family around me. Thats the important parts that most of us forget until we are old and our family has grown up and moved on to start their own family. Its amazing how we creatures of desire allow ourselves to be operated by a system built on greed.

Over the past number of weeks and months indeed, Ive been slowly coming to a realisation. Our own desire and greed indeed for our lifestyles is fueled completely by ego. We are all romantic on some level, and always hear close ones saying "follow your heart", but we never do! We follow our ego, all the way!! The heart is involved in feeling love, but the ego is involved in feeling hate or resentment. Once the heart falls in love, it never falls out of it!!

So with this realisation I decided I wanted to do some ego work. Without actually thinking too much about it I just started working on some painful memories and the ego work just seemed to evolve as a knock on effect. It came on very strong and truly was by far the most amazingly beautiful, powerful work I have ever done and also terrifying, although it doesn't have to be that way. I had no idea that the memories I was trying to come to terms with were the very experiences that my relationship ego was built upon. So therefore I was not prepared for what was coming as a result of breaking through.

I actually felt like I was dieing. I had to push my whole being to force myself to let go of the pain, so much so that my ego couldn't hold on to it any longer. So as a last attempt to save itself my ego knocked me out. Haha what a bloody experience!! I will keep the full details of this ego death for my book of course 😊.

The ego is an amazingly powerful thing. The fear I felt during that experience was terrifying. I wasn't dieing of course, I was letting go of what had been making my decisions for me for the past number of years. That level of control wasn't going to be given up without a fight. So now I know there is an easier way. There is still a lot of very hard work involved, but no dramatics at the end and nobody dies, mentally, emotionally or actually hahaha, we just let go!

This picture inset was taken four days after my relationship ego death. I was receiving a beautiful flower bath from a friend. The smell of the flowers was amazing and just captivated me entirely. Haha I wasn't even aware that another friend was there taking a picture of it hahaha. I am glad he did though. He cought a moment of complete and total freedom in me that I wouldn't have otherwise seen from the outside. I sure was feeling it though hahaha and thanks to this friend I will be able to tap into that memory whenever I want to. So thankyou G-Man for that shot 😊.

Embrace your fears

Let go of what doesn't serve you

And Be Free

Warrior
Victorious is a word
often used by fighters,
When they've defeated their opponent,
And they've fought fierce and righteous.
​I have fought the good fight,
But I only feel guilty,
For baring my sword,
On those that I should pity.
​A Warrior of light,
Bares a sword of emotions,
Sharp is the mind,
With a heart as deep as the oceans.
