Check out my new ebook, it is called ‘The experience’ and it is about the life you are currently living, this free ebook looks at how we create our very own life situations based on the choices we make, and what we choose to think about. It is written from the perspective that we are more than what we are currently experiencing, and that we will exist beyond our current body. It looks at the non existence of time, how our beliefs dictate our reality, the nature of thought, the illusion of difference, how it is sometimes necessary to make changes in life, and how rising beyond thought can sometimes be a very useful thing to do.
Here are a couple of excerpts:
“When you take on a perspective of infinite consciousness experiencing a human reality, and realize that all life is eternal, then you will start to understand that there is nothing to survive, you are consciousness now, and when you body ages and eventually dies you will still be consciousness, just not inside your body. It is a difficult concept to really talk about because many will want to see the proof, after all I have written this book in a body and you are reading in a body, yet the topic is consciousness and what will happen when you die. Suffice to say you will find out eventually, and even you don’t believe it then what does it matter anyway, everything will be revealed eventually to everyone. While in this reality people use the term surviving, but what really is there to survive if you live forever. Another idea that may be hard for people to comprehend is the non existence of time, although this is hard concept for many to grasp while they live a life filled with dates, planned events, specific times and clocks. However it is from one eternal now where life unfolds, the world is spinning, cityscapes flicker, animals become aware of noise, phones ring, children play, dogs bark, planes take off all in one timeless moment.”…..
….”If you have experienced something today that you haven’t experienced before, good or bad, you are now more knowledgeable than you were yesterday, is this not a fact? And with this new knowledge you are in a much better position to make a more informed decision on where you should be tomorrow, or further into the future if such a decision needs to be made. It is sometimes better in life to take action, get the experience, learn from it and move on, even if it isn’t the most enjoyable experience, or you think you have wasted your time, you haven’t. There is no greater teacher than experience, when you experience something you gain a firsthand account of what it feels like, looks like and even smells like. This knowledge will never leave you, and whenever there is a time when you need to make a decision about what to do in the future, you will, if you need to be able to reference past experiences to help make a better more informed decision, and at the very least you will have always learnt something. Life is all about learning, no matter how old you are, or even how old you feel, adopting an open, willing attitude to learning from the experiences you live each day, will help make you a wiser more informed person. It is never a bad thing to look out at life and see what you can learn each and every day.”

“When the mind disappears, time disappears. Hence, down the ages, the mystics have sad that time and mind are nothing but two aspects of the same coin. Mind cannot live without time and time cannot live without mind. Time is a way for the mind to exist. Hence all the buddha’s have insisted, live in this moment: to live in this moment is meditation; to be simply here and now is meditation.
Those who are simply here now is this very moment with me are in meditation. This is meditation – the cuckoo calling from far away and the airplane passing and the crows and the birds and all is silent and there is no movement in the mind. You are not thinking of the past and you are not thinking of the future. Time has stopped. The world has stopped. Stopping the world is the whole art of meditation. And to live in the moment is to live in eternity. To taste the moment with no idea, with no mind, is to taste immortality.”
- Osho
“Any form of conscious meditation is not the real thing: it can never be.
Deliberate attempt to meditate is not meditation.
It must happen; it cannot be invited.
Meditation is not the play of the mind nor of desire and pleasure.
All attempt to meditate is the very denial of it
Only be aware of what you are thinking and doing and nothing else.
The seeing, the hearing, is the doing,
without reward and punishment.”
Learning to silence the mind is one of the most useful things you can do. There may be times in your life when you become negative or your mind becomes full of self-doubt, or perhaps you may just want to quieten any internal dialgoue you may be experiencing. If so use the exercise in this audio to help relax you and bring your attention to the present moment and silence any mind chatter.
It is wise to drop any pre-conceived negative limited notions about what is possible for you in this lifetime, it is only when you do this that you can begin to see alternatives and start to see things a little differently, you can create much, do many things and lead a fuller, richer life, but not if you constantly see the world from a limited ‘small me’ perspective.
My advice to you is to shift your perspective from little me to someone who can achieve way more than they think they can, if you think about not getting this or that, then stop thinking and just know you are more than any short term limiting thoughts you manifest from time to time (or when it all feels like too much). Knowing is more important than thinking especially in times when you think things won’t happen or will turn out badly, instead just know things will turn out ok and that everything will be good.
We live courtesy of mind made prisons which we create for ourselves and then back up them up by what we see on TV, hear from others or what our peers tell us what can and cannot be done in this life. But this is all illusion because there is great power in you and in everyone else alive today, and a belief that goes against this fundamental truth is pure fiction. Go on and believe what you want in life, this is certainly a choice available to you, but perhaps a choice you might want to make is the one where you choose to live free of fear and mind made limitations which serve to keep you living a life far removed from what you could be living. Perhaps one of the saddest aspects of life is that we are all powerful humans with an ability to create amazing lives but ins
Do you believe that life is something that happens to you in the future, do you think about your past so much that it seems as if you are living it again? Do you constantly re-live moments from last week’s staff meeting, or from a random conversation you had 3 months ago. What about 5 years ago, do you still recall events that happened then?
Are you living for some point in the future when your life will be amazing and great, and treating the present moment as just a means to an end? Are you convinced that your past is a representation of how your future will be? Do you constantly recall in vivid detail your past mistakes or actions which you would rather forget? Are your thoughts consumed by any other time but this present moment? If they are, then what is it that is so unsatisfactory about your life right now that you have to continually reminisce about days gone by? Are you someone who finds that their mind continually wanders here there and everywhere at the expense of your current day to day living? Would you like to forget the past, not worry about the future and just become absorbed in this very moment?
“Life is a journey and not a destination.”
A point in time 5 years from now, something which you are striving for is all well and good, but it is important to realise that what you think of as the future, some point in time months or years ahead of where you are now will never actually arrive. Many people completely ignore their present moment; instead they are always living for the weekend or the end of the month, or some other imaginary point in the future that will cause them to feel happy.
It has been said that many people spend up to 97% of their time either living in the past or the future, which means they only spend a mere 3% of their time in their present reality. That is quite a sobering statistic when you realize this current moment is all you will ever have. That is a lot of time in thoughts outside of what you are currently involved in.
Your attention should rarely be taken up with thoughts of regret about the past, or thoughts of worry about the future, both are made up and only exist in your mind as and when you think about them. An important point to remember is that while you want to create a new life yourself, and learn about strategies to change your thinking, it is still necessary to realize that while you aspire for great things to happen in your future, the power you have to make all that you wish for yourself come true, comes from this very moment right now.
It is important you strive to become fully present in your life, each moment that passes is extremely powerful, at this very moment you can be more constructive and productive than you have been at any other time in your life. Your power comes from understanding and utilizing this.
Life is an illusion, but for many people they would find this statement hard to comprehend, after all they look around and can see with their own eyes that life is indeed real, it is there all around them. The trees, buildings, people talking on their mobile phones, chairs, tables, cars, trucks, babies screaming, dogs barking, how can life possibly be an illusion they might ask themselves.
But the illusion which is life isn’t in tangible objects, structures or in things we can touch with our own hands, the illusion comes from how we perceive life around us, the real illusion is in our minds.
The illusion all comes from the way you interact with the world, how you interpret what you see, how you interpret what you hear, the meanings you attribute to things, your perception of others, and also your perception of yourself. This is an illusion, how is it possible for it not to be an illusion and for it to be anything else? But our minds our powerful and so consequently we see our perceptions and interpretations as real.
But they are not, and this is to be used to your advantage, because when we are aware that our interpretations of life are indeed illusions of the mind, then all of what we hear and see which doesn’t benefit us can immediately be discarded. There is great power in this.
Our minds are powerful and they really do and possibly even want to believe that it can’t be an illusion, sometimes we aren’t happy knowing this we want to see it as more, and it is via our amazing human minds that we are able to see (or perceive) it as more and interpret life in any way we choose.

Time, clocks and calendars are all man made inventions
They are simply used to keep track of the earth moving around the Sun. Tapping into infinite consciousness is about losing track of time completely, because once you realize there is no time you can enter into this very moment and accept it as it is.
Don’t be a slave to time by way of future events that you have planned for yourself. It is easy to live our lives as a constant stream of meetings, deadlines, events, appointments at some pre-arranged time in the future. For a lot of people, life is rarely about the very moment they are experiencing but rather about what is going to happen, or will happen in the future. The very moment they are experiencing is merely a means to some end point in the future.
It is important to focus your attention on the very moment that you experience life, because life can never be lived at any other time than the one you are presently experiencing. To be fully aware and engaged in life is to be fully accepting of your presence in this very moment.
“Future and past exist only in the mind.”
To be fully awake is to understand that time really is an illusion. So your watch says 1.45, what does that mean to you? Time is all played out in the mind, this afternoon, this evening, next week, last week, next year, so many people live their whole life planning, striving, searching, working, waiting, but for what exactly? Some date in the future when their whole life we come together and everything will be OK.
Planning for the future is a good thing to do as is setting goals, but when life is constantly and totally lived in the mind at the expense of this very moment, then something needs to change. It is easy to get carried away with the future sometimes, likewise it is easy to always think about the past, but what is the point to this?
“Life only exists here and now and it will never be anywhere else, the future and past are mind based perceptions which should be dropped if you want get closer to your true nature.”
Of course it can be hard to drop the illusion of time when we have to be somewhere or get up at 7.00 in the morning and go to work, or meet a friend at a specific time at the weekend, but as you go through your day to day life remind yourself that this very moment is all there will ever be.
When you know that this moment is all there is, time all of a sudden kind of becomes irrelevant.
