infinite awareness

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.

I love the end of this movie, truly inspiring……

Reality is all about perception

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.

Here is the latest video I have uploaded to you tube (The spiritual awakening), let me know what you think, also feel free to check my you tube channel to see my other videos.

If you hear a voice in your head, how can you be that voice?

You can never be the voice you hear, the real you (consciousness) is the one listening to it. Identifying with the voice can lead you to all sorts of problems especially when you say you cannot do things. Why believe this? It is just a voice. Treat it like you would when you hear a song on the radio. Listen, be aware, you know you are not singing the song, be aware you are not the voice you hear inside your head.

YOU are the awareness that can hear the voice.

Consciousness is listening to a voice

The ‘me’ or ‘I’ you identify with is not you at all, it exists only as and when you think about it or bring it up.

The mind and the body are very much separate from who you really are, and until you learn and understand that they are not the real you, you will always create a barrier between the ‘I’ you think you are and the consciousness that you really are.

In this life, the greatness that is in you, is in everyone. We think we are different, of course we all think lots of things, but the mind is powerful and thinking creates an incredible feeling that everything is all so real, such is the power of our minds.

Consciousness is the flame from which all thought is bought into existence, how can you know that you think and have ideas, thoughts, without an awareness of them……. If you want to think about something think about how that is possible.

Understanding that you are infinite energy isn’t about stating affirmations or thinking too much, it is about knowing and being aware, that is all, nothing else is involved. Being aware that you are not your body or your mind will allow you to get closer to understanding the pure potential that you really are. Once you know this you can change your perspective on your life and current life situation. By changing your perspective you can change your life in so many ways, there is more to you than your 5 senses, there is more to you than thought, because who you really are is beyond mind and therefore thought.

You see for you to realize this no schooling is needed, no great expensive course is required, all you have to do is just understand and get in touch with your true self beyond your mind and your thoughts, your body is a vehicle and your mind is a tool, you are neither. This is not to undermine the amazement and wonder of both, they are incredible, our bodies are beautiful, and our minds all powerful, but they are not the real you. This is not to be thought of as bad or unpleasant, or negative, it is about liberating yourself, freeing your mind and unlearning what you think you are, removing labels and temporary identities and getting in touch with a higher self, your higher self, your true nature. Awareness is the key that will take you beyond mind and body.

What you think of as you is not you at all, it is actually what you are experiencing. The ‘I’ you constantly identify with is actually what you are experiencing. You are not, nor have you ever been, nor will you ever be your thoughts, you are that which experiences and who is aware of your thoughts. You are consciousness, infinite awareness, pure potential that is currently experiencing a human reality.

“Awareness operates higher than the mind, without awareness you would know of nothing that the mind produced in the way of thoughts or ideas.”

“You are aware that you have thoughts and ideas, now be aware that you are not those thoughts or ideas.”

There is no division in the world, we are all one, however we have been taught to be different, to think differently, to act, to believe and to see things in certain ways and this is as a result of many things, for example, upbringing, culture, beliefs etc. But who we really are is beyond the beliefs we hold. Become aware of everything and everyone around you. You are that awareness, you are infinite consciousness that lives forever, you are currently now experiencing life in your body using the amazing tool which is the human mind. This is what we all have to experience this life, our mind and our body.

However you are not your mind or your body, they simply allow you the real YOU to experience life in your current reality, which is temporary, your body will not last forever, neither will your mind both are susceptible to age and disease. YOU however are consciousness, which is all that ever has been and all that ever will be.

Because we identify with who we are (the ‘I’) for most of the time in our day to day life and reality we find it hard to see it in any other way. However we are really the awareness of our lives and our realities, but most of the time we never tap into this awareness, we are never really aware, instead we are consumed with our minds and each thought that we have or rather we generate. We think it is us, we think it is true, we believe it is the way things are. But being alive is about being aware, and being aware is knowing that this awareness is who you are and that your current life situation is just something you are experiencing. All the ideas, perceptions, opinions, beliefs you have are just illusions, mind made concepts which you by way of observation and awareness bring into existence. This is what makes you human and this is what makes up your current reality.

You are reading these words, perhaps with your own voice in your head but you are not that voice, you are understanding the words as you read them, perhaps conceptualizing the different ideas and statements you are listening to, but you are not those ideas, or thoughts you have about what you are reading, maybe your mind is wandering and you are thinking about what to eat for dinner. However the real you is the awareness behind the thoughts and ideas.

“The real you is the knowing that knows you are experiencing ideas and thoughts.”

There is a higher self beyond what you currently perceive there to be. Infinite consciousness, awareness is your higher self, your true self and it exists beyond the mind. It is from your higher self which is a layer above your beliefs, your identity and everything else mind based that real power and all-knowing exist.

Not many people have as a good grasp on who we are and the world we live in than David Icke, here is one of his many fantastic speeches on the subject:

“Whatever we are experiencing in this moment is just an experience, we live forever, we are genius.”

The way life really is…..

The way your life is isn’t necessarily the way it is at all, it is simply the way you are choosing to perceive it or indeed interpret events around you.

We hold beliefs because we as humans have an overwhelming desire to believe something. Some might say it is hard to live without beliefs, but is it really so hard? We normally in life tell ourselves and others by way of the language we use that what we see, hear and read about is the truth. We use the word ‘IS’ we such finality that we accept only what is already in line with what we current believe. But perhaps a better strategy is to simply not believe anything, instead say things like ‘It appears to be the case that..’ or ‘it seems to me that this is the way things are’, we have amazing human minds, but they are much better when open. Open to new ideas, new possibilities, new perspectives, new thoughts, etc. If you have rigid beliefs systems, what will you ultimately learn in life? Our mind is a tool to use whilst experiencing life on earth. We can use it in any way we want, and it is up to us how we use it, and this includes what we decide to believe about ourselves and the world around us.

If you can change your perspective on life, your life will change. There is nothing permanent about anything in your life right now, this includes, thoughts, ideas, beliefs, your job, work, identity, skills.

We normally believe we are what we are, whatever we identify with and that this will be the case for the rest of our lives, but this isn’t so. How many people will ever change their belief systems throughout their lives, probably not many, they will believe X, Y and Z but never open themselves up to the idea of A, B and C.

Life is everywhere, as is consciousness. You build on top of consciousness the very life situation you are now experiencing. Nobody can do this for you, nor should anyone do this for you because being the pure potential that you are comes with it the responsibility that what occurs in your mind is there because you have put it there. All those thoughts which you think which cause you to feel a certain way, it is you doing it no one else.

Always remember that your mind is a tool, an amazing one yes, but it is still a tool that is to utilized by you while you are having this experience on planet earth.

Accessing intuition - What feels right to you in your life?

To access the higher levels of power and awareness you have available, you need to bypass the mind. For example it doesn’t always benefit you to get caught up in thought so much. When you have to make a decision in life where does continually thinking about each different scenario in your life really take you anyway?

When you have to or want to make decisions in life you may find yourself thinking a lot. Thinking of each outcome, thinking about what might happen what might not happen, how you would feel, what it would mean. But before you get too lost in your own thoughts, it might help you to take a step back and ask yourself what feels right to you.

It is sometimes helpful to just go with your intuition more and more.

It may also be beneficial to stop listening to what others say about what can and cannot be done? What do they know, are they even aware of who they are, or are they slaves to their own mind made concepts?

Find out things for yourself, use your own mind, do your own research, think your own thoughts, find out what is possible for yourself in your lifetime.

The media, other people, even your own internal dialogue is so quick to say how life is and what can and cannot be done, but why live your life as a result of what others say can or cannot be done. How will that serve you, how has it been serving you? How much of the life you are leading now is a result of pure potential and how much of it is down to limiting beliefs, other people telling you how you won’t be able to have what you want. How much of your life is down to outside influence?

You are infinite possibility with the ability to achieve much, so why aren’t you.

Are you influenced by others who are in reality completely clueless to who they really are? What do they know anyway? YOU in your pure form can do so much. Nobody can say to you what you will or will not achieve in life, only you will ever decide that. It is by knowing that you can have what you want, forming beliefs that empower you, being aware that your own internal dialogue is just that, just negative internal dialogue and taking action that you will be able to live an amazing life.

We can change so much by shifting our perspective from one who sees us as small tiny and insignificant to one where we see ourselves as all-knowing, infinite consciousness, pure potential having a human experience.

We can change ourselves and the world by knowing that we are not our bodies and our minds and instead understand that they are what we are using to experience this physical reality.

“Free yourself from mental slavery, do not be a slave to your mind, it is a tool for you to use while you are experiencing life on earth.”
