Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog.

"Life is a dream made out of nothing, which makes all of us dreamers. We are dreaming lives - individually and collectively - that have nothing to do with the Uncaused, that is beginningless, endless and unchanging.

"Here's the good news: if you can make yourself sick, angry, jealous, fearful, happy, joyful, depressed, out of nothing, it shows how powerful we all are as dreamers. We can dream up grander and more beautiful dreams effortlessly as we already know how to make a big deal out of nothing. The only snag is when you forget you are dreaming and take it seriously. This is when you need the opt-out clause like the one Lahiri Mahasaya used to snap his wife out of her delusion: "It is all nothing." Or as I would say, "There is no cause!"" It is All Nothing!

Window Shopping

2008-12-31T10:30:00.002Z

As the bus was driving by some shops, I noticed the mannequins in one shop window were all wearing white tops and black trousers. I thought one top looked very good on the mannequin.

Later in the evening as I was walking with a friend to the bus stop, he was attracted to a shop window, which happened to be a branch of the shop I'd been looking at earlier. The mannequins were wearing white tops and black trousers. My friend said they looked good and he thought the top would look good on me.

I told him I'd been looking at them earlier.

Is there an echo or what?

Good Vibrations

2008-12-31T10:14:00.004Z

During my bus journey I noticed a guy sitting with his eyes closed. He looked so adorable and peaceful and I felt so much love for him. He also reminded me of an actor that appears on a TV soap I sometimes watch. After admiring the guy for a few seconds, I turned my attention elsewhere. Then the guy opened his eyes and stared so intently in my eyes I had to look away.

I guess that's what happens when I give good vibes out, they return to me multiplied.

I'm reminded of the The Beach Boys song:

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's givin' me the excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Ooo, bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's givin' me the excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)
(Good, good, good, good vibrations) Good Vibrations, lyrics

I'm sending good vibrations to everyone.

Have Fun!

2008-12-30T10:18:00.015Z

Mary Poppins:
[Spoken]
In ev'ry job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game

[Sung]
And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way A Spoonful of Sugar, lyrics

When I went to say goodbye to my mother this morning, I noticed she was getting ready to go out.

"You're going out then?" I said.

"Yes, I am."

"Well, have fun!"

"I don't know about having fun."

"Where are you off to?" I said. "Are you going to visit your friend?"

"No, I'm off to the surgery to have a flu jab. It's about time I had one."

"Have fun!"

"I will try and have fun with the flu jab," she chuckled. "Actually, you can have fun with everything. It's just that people don't see things that way."

"That's what I believe anyway. That's why I always say have fun."

"Well, you have fun whatever you get up to," my mother said.

"I will."

I believe that every moment is an opportunity to have fun. It doesn't matter what it is, there's a lot of fun to be had. Seeing life as fun transforms everything, even things I don't particularly like doing, from it being a chore and tedious to effortless and joyful. Seeing life as fun reveals the magic and wonder of life; and the ordinary becomes the extraordinary.

I'm not a huge fan of household chores but when I inject fun into them, I discovered cleaning can be effortless when I just relax and let it happen. I also discovered there are invisible beings who are willing to help in all aspects of life when I let them; and life becomes magical.

I don't particularly like cold weather but I think it's fun dressing up in a warm coat. The weather has also revealed a lot about myself. I find that when I'm not thinking, I feel neither hot nor cold. I also find when I focus on the weather being cold, it feels colder. However, when it's cold and I focus on feeling warm, it feels warm to me and the weather gets milder. The same is true for hot weather. If it's hot, I focus on it being cool and I end up feeling cool even if it's supposed to be a heat wave. Again, when it's stifling hot and I don't think about it, I feel neither hot nor cold.

I used to find travelling on buses pretty tedious until I focused on the fun element. Now my bus journeys are filled with magic and wonder.

Seeing everything as fun reminds me of dogs' attitudes. They seem to find delight in everything. Even when they are meant to be working, they seem to have fun doing so.

Incidentally, I emailed a friend and asked if he wanted to meet up later. Part of his response was: "Sounds quite fun." It's not surprising really as I've always found it fun being with this particular friend.

Every moment is full of fun. Have fun, whatever you get up to!

Reframing

2008-12-29T15:55:00.004Z

I believe life is really what we all make of it. Put another way, life is about reframing i.e. attributing different meanings to what is inherently nothing.

For instance, I was chatting to my brother about diets. He believed I didn't put on weight because I do a lot of walking. I told him one reason why I don't put on weight is because I don't carry the memory of eating with me. Once I've finished eating that is the end of that experience. The next experience is a new.

My brother didn't believe me. He said, "You probably have a very fast metabolism."

I thought my brother had come up with an excellent reframing that fit his model of reality. As he sees it, my metabolism is so fast that as soon as I've finished eating, the food is quickly assimilated into my system.

Whatever reframing works.

Delete Browsing History

2008-12-29T14:56:00.009Z

There is a tool on the computer that one can use to delete all files, passwords, cookies and temporary files held in memory. I find this very useful when I'm using a public computer; I erase all records before I start a session and at the end of my session.

In the same respect, since I'm sharing a collective dream with billions of others whose beliefs don't resonate with my truth, I find it very useful to start each day by erasing all thought forms and experiences that do not resonate with who I am being. It's rather like having a bath or taking a shower.

One way I delete browsing history is by affirming: Love is all there is.

All browsing history have been erased from memory.

Hive Mind

2008-12-29T11:57:00.008Z

Bees have got a hive mind and always working towards a common goal.

Similarly, I have a hive mind that is composed of my infinite selves in all time, all space, all life, and in all realities. In other words, I am the Queen Bee and my infinite selves are my workers.

Awakening involves realising my identity as the infinite selves and then integrating all selves so that, like bees, they are always working towards a common goal. One way I find to unify all selves is to simply think: We are One.

We are Enocia.
We are one.

There's No Need to Chase My Dreams

2008-12-29T11:02:00.016Z

While it's important to never give up on my dreams, I have to remember not to chase them either.

The other day, as a friend was walking me to the bus stop to catch my bus home, I spotted my bus approaching. He suggested that if I ran I would catch it but I didn't feel like running. I decided to let it go. Seconds later, another bus arrived which I got on. During the journey our bus caught up with the one in front. Then our driver told us he was terminating early and advised us to transfer to the one in front. See, I did end up catching the first bus after all.

Earlier today I decided to catch the first bus that arrived, even though it would mean having to change later. When I got on the bus, I spotted another bus that is a direct route to my destination but I didn't feel like getting off. I figured I would stay on the bus I was on and catch another bus. When I got off the bus, my next bus was waiting at the bus stop and ready to leave. Further down the route, the bus I was in caught up with the other bus I had seen earlier. I knew it was the same bus because of the serial number at the back of it. My bus even ended up overtaking the one in front and I arrived at my destination way ahead of the one behind.

My destination represents my goal which has already happened; and the buses are the ways and means to achieve my dreams.

Chasing a dream suggests a lack of self-belief. All I have to do is let what has already happened unfold perfectly.

There's no need to chase my dreams. Everything is working out for the best.

Another theme tune is "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. It even inspired me to write this article: Staying Focused on the Mould.

"Be Yourself" by Audioslave is another one of my theme songs. I discovered this song quite by accident. Once I was browsing an E-card website and heard the instrumental version of the song. Even though I didn't know the lyrics I fell in love with it. When I heard all of it on YouTube, I LOVED it.

Here's part of the lyrics:

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
someone swears its true love until the end of time, another runs away
separate or united, healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do Be Yourself, lyrics

I have to say "Sweet Freedom" by Michael McDonald is one of my theme songs. I LOVE it!

No more runnin down the wrong road
Dancin to a different drum
Can't you see whats goin on
Deep inside your heart
Always searchin for the real thing
Livin like its far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin the key
When you believe it

Shine sweet Freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the Magic
You're right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on Sweet Freedom, Lyrics written by Rod Temperton

I am the Magic.

One World

2008-12-27T11:29:00.008Z

A while back I helped this woman carry her shopping bags. While we were walking I learned my friend was a pastor. When she asked me about my religious beliefs I told her I didn't follow any religion; I simply believed in God. She believed I needed a mediator to God but I begged to differ.

A few days ago as I was walking home, I noticed my sister-in-law in the vicinity. She said she was picking up a work colleague.

Yesterday, while I was chatting to my sister-in-law she told me her work colleague she had picked up the other day remembers me. It turns out she was the same woman I had helped with her shopping. Talk about small world!

Actually, I don't believe in a small world; I believe in one world.

Being the Cause - Revisited

2008-12-27T10:45:00.016Z

I was on my way to spend Boxing Day with my brother.

When the first bus arrived it was too packed full for my liking so I didn't get on board. Besides, if I caught it, I would need to change anyway. Where are all these people going on Boxing Day? Aha, there must a football match on. That's Boxing Day for you, people are either rushing to the sales or going to football matches.

When the next bus arrived it was also crowded as well but I sneaked in through the back door. During the journey, I noticed a man standing next to me looked very familiar. I asked him where I knew him from and he reminded me that we used to work together at the Personnel department at the London Fire Brigade Headquarters, over 10 years ago. He said he still worked for the Fire Brigade. I used to like chatting to this guy. I remembered he was into football. I asked him if he was off to the local stadium to watch the match and he said he was. My friend asked me if I was still passionate about writing as he remembered I was. Some things never change then.

While I was chatting to my friend, I wondered why I was seeing him now. In other words, how did I cause this to happen? Then I remembered while I was at the library two days before and the fire alarm went off, I reminisced to a friend about when I worked at the London Fire Brigade HQ. I said the fire alarm used to go off frequently, even though you would have thought the staff would know better. So that's why I've attracted this friend.

When I told my friend on the bus that I'd been thinking of the old days, he was amazed.

After my friend got off the bus, I marvelled at how my thought had arranged events. I only decided on Christmas Day to visit my brother and his family the next day. On my way to his house I stopped off at the Internet cafe for two hours, not that I needed to as I could have used my brother's computer. I had to leave the Internet shop at the right time to wait at that bus stop. If I had caught the first bus I wouldn't have seen my friend.

When I got to my brother's, he was watching football, which we watched together.

Nothing happens by chance. All experiences have their cause in me.

I am Cause.

Another favourite from Spandau Ballet is "Gold." The chorus is such a powerful affirmation.

The Purpose of the Universe

2008-12-26T10:39:00.003Z

I believe the purpose of the Universe is to bless and be a blessing. Thus, every moment is an opportunity to receive blessings or to be a blessing.

What do I mean by blessing?

Since we all love different things, blessings are experiences that resonate with my being; in other words, what brings me joy.

As I was waiting for the bus home at the bus stop, a man sat next to me and started smoking a cigarette. While I don't mind people smoking, I prefer to be in a smoke-free environment. I thought to myself, every moment is a blessing and what doesn't bless me is repelled from my experience. The moment I had the thought, the man put out his cigarette.

Later I had to catch another bus home from the bus station. Usually, I walk home from there but as I has two bags of shopping I decided to wait for the local bus. As I was waiting, I pondered on how everything was a blessing. I heard this woman beside me moaning about how the bus driver in the parked bus she was waiting for was taking so long, and how he was playing hide and seek with the passengers. The bus driver started the engine, moved the bus forward, then parked the bus. It was funny to see how the woman's expectation had been made manifest.

In the meantime, I spotted my bus arriving. The bus driver happens to live in our neighbourhood and is a real blessing. A while back when my mother wasn't feeling well and travelling on his bus, he prayed for her.

Thank you, Universe, for constantly fulfilling your purpose to bless and to be a blessing.

We are All Farmers

2008-12-23T12:37:00.008Z

I was chatting to a friend I met at the library about dreaming. I told him while I was working on the computer, I suddenly felt drowsy and fell into a deep sleep and had these visions and then woke up. The "dream" only lasted for a few seconds. My friend said he believed I was meant to sleep at that time in order to receive whatever messages I had received in that dream. He said some people are gifted at receiving messages from their dreams.

As we travelled on the bus together I shared how I've been communicating telepathically with another friend through my sleeping and waking dreams.

"You are very unique and gifted," he said.

"I believe we are all unique and gifted," I said.

"Yes, we are all farmers but some people are not very good at it."

My friend's comment made me laugh.

I agree with my friend. We are all farmers; whether we become great farmers depends on how motivated we are.

Working Together

2008-12-23T12:00:00.009Z

I don't tend to wear bras that often as I don't always need to. I also find them uncomfortable. Only when I really need to do I wear them.

When I put on my bra this morning I felt pain around my chest and shoulder. I believe the bra was only acting out my expectation i.e. bras are uncomfortable.

When something feels uncomfortable, it's as if it's working against me. I know in my heart of hearts that this is not true as my bra is my friend whose purpose is to give me love and support.

"Come on, bra," I said, "let's work together."

The moment I had the thought, I felt comfortable.

The universe is my ally. This means every single part of the universe is constantly working with me in oneness.

A few days ago (19 December), a friend emailed me a YouTube link for a Madonna video he wanted me to watch, but I couldn't watch it as I didn't have access to a computer with sound at the time. It was interesting that he'd sent me a Madonna link on the same day I had posted a Madonna video on my blog.

Two days later (21 December) while I was the Internet cafe, I decided to watch the Madonna video but it was no longer available as it had been withdrawn. I emailed my friend to ask him the name of the song just in case someone had posted another video on YouTube.

My friend has just sent me a link to a news article that was written yesterday (22 December), which explains the lack of Madonna videos on YouTube. Warner threatens YouTube on music.

Thank you Universe for answering my question so promptly.

Changing Gears

2008-12-22T13:05:00.010Z

"Infinity chooses," he said. "The art of the warrior-traveler is to have the ability to move with the slightest insinuation, the art of acquiescing to every command of infinity." The Active Side of Infinity, by Carlos Castaneda, p. 182

Sometimes I feel like a car coasting on one gear until I feel an urge to change gears. I find when I don't change gears, I feel very uncomfortable like I'm trying to wear a shoe that doesn't fit. I even fall physically ill. Only when I maintain the new gear do I feel better.

The other day while I was relaxing at the bookshop with my eyes closed, I "saw" a purple flame within that reminded me of the pilot light some old gas boilers have.

I've always know there is a fire within that I can invoke for purifying and healing. I have even used violet flame decrees. Why am I seeing this Purple Flame now?

The Flame started speaking to me in thought. It reminded me that it was Me. I am the Purple Flame. It said it was reminding me that NOW is the time to be the Purple Flame whose purpose is to erase and dissolve all "creations" that are not true to who I am.

In my mind's eye, I saw the fire growing bigger and bigger and consuming everything until there was nothing left but the Purple Flame.

The Flame said that I am to constantly remember myself as the Purple Flame and the Flame will blaze through my body and my affairs in every moment.

I am the Purple Flame, which is just as well as I've always loved purple.

Walking with Sid

2008-12-22T10:25:00.018Z

As I was walking via the canal towards the local park, I saw my friend Sid. Sid is a Pyrenean Mountain Dog who lives in the neighbourhood. We met years ago at the local marsh when he was taking a walk with his human friend. Since then, I've been seeing him around. When we meet, he usually adopts a playful stance and expects me to run so he can chase me, not that he could ever outrun me. I wouldn't want him jumping on me though as he's huge. I enjoy stroking his coat as he's got so much hair.

This time, Sid didn't look very happy.

"What's up with Sid?" I asked his human friend. "Why is he looking so miserable?"

"He doesn't want to go home," he said. "We've just come from the park. He met two dogs he's never met before and he's still not happy."

"Never mind, Sid. You still get to sniff all those shrubs on the way back, remember?"

Sid just scowled and dribbled. His friend removed a leaf that was stuck on his mouth.

"Do you know who Sid reminds me of when he dribbles? Hooch from the film, Turner and Hooch. Have you ever seen it?"

"Yes, I have," he chuckled.

"Cheer up, Sid!" I said. "Don't you want to chase me today?"

Sid turned his back on me to stare in the direction they'd just come from and looked back at his friend. I didn't need a dog whisperer to tell me Sid wanted to go back to the park.

"Sorry, Sid," his friend said, "we're not going back to the park. It's time to go home."

While Sid was sulking, I chatted with his friend.

"How old is Sid?"

"He's nine. Dogs in this breed only tend to live for about 10 years though some live a bit longer. The bigger the dog, the shorter the life span. I once had a Pyrenean who lived for just over 10 years."

"Do you only have Pyrenean dogs as pets then?"

"No, I have had other breeds as well."

"How often do you wash him?"

"I don't. He tends to shed a lot of hair anyway. I just brush his coat every day."

"I remember the first time I saw you and Sid was down at the Marsh. Don't you go there anymore?"

"We still do."

"That must be a long walk then for you," I said.

"We don't go there every day. It all depends really on Sid. It's his walk so he gets to decide. When we come out of the house, if Sid turns his head left we go to the park; if he turns right, we head to the Marsh. I have to keep him on the lead though or he just walks off."

Before I left my friend I stroked Sid's head but he was still in a sulk.

As I was walking through Sid's park, I thought about the paradox of choice. While the final decision of where to go for a walk appears to rest with Sid, it is not really up to Sid but his human guide. In the same respect, while I appear to have choices, the real decision comes from my Guide. Who exactly is my Guide? I believe my Guide is me as Soul, the multidimensional Self, the all-knowing Me. Therefore, while I appear to have freewill, there is no real freewill as my choices are already predetermined by my Soul's predisposition. For example, I only love writing because that's how my Soul has decided to express Self in this reality.

Put another way:

"There are scores of outside forces controlling you at the moment," don Juan replied. "The control that I am referring to is something outside the domain of language. It is your control and at the same time it is not. It cannot be classified, but it can certainly be experienced. And above all, it can certainly be manipulated. It can certainly be manipulated, to your total advantage, of course, which again is not your advantage, but the energy body’s advantage. However, the energy body is you, so we could go on forever like dogs biting their own tails, trying to describe this. Language is inadequate. All these experiences are beyond syntax." The Active Side of Infinity, by Carlos Castaneda

Thank you, Sid, for giving me further insights into the journey of the Soul. I hope we meet up again very soon.

The Power of Music

2008-12-21T15:10:00.028Z

I believe there's nothing like music.

While I was raised as a Christian, there was a lot that didn't ring true for me. As soon as I was old enough to make my own decisions, I rejected Christianity and the beliefs associated with it to explore what the meaning of life means for me. While I was searching I always had a foundation - music. Music was my personal saviour. There was a time when I couldn't go to sleep without listening to Michael Jackson's albums: "Thriller" and "Off the Wall" as I found them so comforting.

I find music has the power to bless, comfort, empower, guide, heal, illuminate, inspire and uplift. It was music that revealed who I truly am. In fact, my core self is sound, which I listen to during meditation. This sound feels very blissful and is healing. As and when the need arises, the sound transmutes itself into audible words that inspire and guide me.

I also love how music unites all kinds of people regardless of beliefs. I believe music has the power to dissolve all grudges.

As I was relaxing on the sofa flicking through the TV channels, I came across the Michael Jackson video "Beat It." In the song, Michael is singing about the futility of getting into gang fights. In the actual video two rival gangs meet up and get into a fight. Before things get out of hand, Michael splits them up and shares his dance moves with them. Together they dance to the chorus.

Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It Beat It, lyrics

While the guys are strutting their stuff, they are no longer thinking of killing one another.

Music is my Beloved.

Fast and Furious

2008-12-20T14:04:00.006Z

I'm noticing my thoughts are manifesting at a fast and furious pace, which is not surprising as I can feel the Chakra around my forehead, popularly called the Ajna or Brow Chakra, spinning like crazy.

"When in alignment, this Chakra develops the ability to think reality into existence; it helps develop the five senses and dissolves grief, and helps with nightmares. It is the seed of the mind relating to power of thought. Idealism, imagination, intuition, and healing energy come out of this Chakra." Brow Chakra

Two days ago I saw this woman on the bus who reminded me of my mother's friend who lives in the neighbourhood. I wondered how she was.

Yesterday evening as I was chatting to a friend, he mentioned he had a friend who has a fear of animals. I couldn't imagine what that feels like as I find animals to be such a joy.

As I was walking home last night I saw a woman approaching. I realised she was my mother's friend I had thought of the day before. She told me she'd seen my mother earlier. She couldn't stop to chat as she was already running late. Before she left, she introduced me to her son who had walked her part of the journey. He was with his dog.

As I walked with the young man, his dog leapt at me and I stroked his head. The man told me the dog was six months old. How could anyone be afraid of such an adorable animal. My friend said he needs to train his puppy before he gets into bad habits. I told him it wasn't the puppy that needed training but him. I teased him that I would get the dog whisperer onto him. I told my friend how much I love cats but he said he wasn't too keen on them.

When my friend and I parted company, I heard someone calling from behind. It was a young woman walking her dog, another cutie. She asked me what the time was and I told her.

As I was approaching the front door, I noticed what looked like a beaver sitting on the mat. The beaver turned out to be a very fat cat, which ran off as soon as it saw me.

At home my mother was watching a historical documentary which I didn't find particularly interesting. Then she switched to another channel and caught the end of a documentary about the Komodo Dragons, a species of lizards. The next programme listed was "The Dog Whisperer", but I didn't feel like watching it. I opted for a shower instead.

Thoughts are things and coming out of the woodworks.

The Next Best Thing

2008-12-20T12:06:00.003Z

At some point yesterday I thought of an old friend who works at a library I used to frequent a lot but haven't been to in a long time. I wondered how he was.

During my bus journey home last night, a lot later than usual, a man sat next to me speaking on his mobile phone. He was speaking Krio, the language people speak in Sierra Leone. After he'd finished his conversation I asked him he was from Sierra Leone and he said he was. I told him I lived there as a child. We talked about areas we both knew, schools we'd attended, and politics. My friend had attended the same secondary school as my uncle.

While we were chatting I asked him his name. His name turned out to be the same as my friend at the library. I won't mention the name as I don't want to keep attracting much of the same.

It seems to me when the Universe heard my thought, It set about creating the next best thing.

Next best thing or not, it was great to link up with a "new" friend on the bus.

Make-up Artist

2008-12-18T12:39:00.009Z

I was watching a singer performing last night on television and her face looked like she had on a mask. I guess with the advent of High Definition TV, make-up artists have to pile on the foundation to cover up flaws this new technology is likely to pick up. The thought of having to sit for hours to be made-up sounds like my idea of hell.

I stopped wearing foundation/cover cream and powder a while back. I figured it was about time I let my beauty shine from within with a little help from my old friends. Now I just moisturise my skin with the same baby lotion I use on my body, put on some eyeliner and lipstick, and I’m ready to face the world.

The other night I couldn’t sleep. The next morning there were huge circles under my eyes. As I don't have any cover cream to cover the lines, I had no choice but to let my Light shine through. I thought to myself: "I am overflowing with Light." Like magic, the circles filled up and I was looking radiant.

There's obviously a higher purpose to wearing as little make-up as possible: the less time I spend titivating myself, the more time I have to sleep. Hurrah!

Love and gratitude to my inner make-up artist.

Stagger the Joy

2008-12-18T12:34:00.003Z

As I was walking home yesterday evening, I noticed this woman laden down with bags of shopping. I asked her if I could help her carry them but she declined.

"Have you been Christmas shopping?" I said.

"Yes, it's all been too much."

"I hope they like what you've bought them," I said.

"So do I."

I wished my friend the best and walked off.

Why do people put themselves under all that stress just because someone has decided that particular day is the Day to give to others. Surely if you really want to show your friends and loved ones how much you care you could stagger the joy over the rest of the 364 (or 365) days in the year?

Oh well, each to their own.

I have no problem with receiving gifts. If someone chooses to give me something for Christmas, I will gladly accept it. I also know that I am blessed every single moment. As I see it, every day is an opportunity for me to experience blessings. I have observed that many of these blessings come in little packages like a smile, a bus seat near a window when I need it, being able to enjoy lovely parks and walks, being in perfect health, meeting wonderful people every day, my family, friends, music, art, films, books, the Internet, the media, great ideas, good food...etc.

I am infinitely blessed in every moment.
Every day is Christmas Day.

Fluidity

2008-12-16T13:41:00.005Z

As I was climbing down the stairs on the bus the driver braked suddenly and my body and head lurched forward with such a force and yet I felt no pain. In fact my body felt quite fluid like I was a flowing river.

I remember once waking up in the middle of the night and seeing everything as a purple entity that was quite fluid. The entity transformed part of it into a finger and touched my shoulder. I realised the entity was me as my essence; me as Soul.

The fluid nature of the Soul reminds me of the Terminator in the film Terminator 2 - Judgment Day whose purpose is to eliminate the boy who would grow up to be the future leader in the war against the machines. This Terminator can shape shift into people and objects. The way he achieves this is he reverts to its formless essence, liquid metal, then it takes on the shape and form.

Like the Terminator, my essence is formlessness. Out of this fluidity emerge the many forms and realities.

I am so grateful to the bus driver for reminding me of my nature as fluidity.

If the Shoe Doesn't Fit, Why Wear It?

2008-12-15T15:29:00.019Z

If Love is everywhere present and is our true nature, how come we are not always in harmony?

I believe Love is everywhere present but how people express the Love that they are is not the same. There are times when someone's way is simply not my cup of tea.

As I tend to use public computers in the library or at Internet cafes, I find it is always necessary for me to adjust the chair and configure the computer screen to suit my requirements. In other words, I need the working area to fit who I am and how I choose to express myself. I'm also aware that it's not enough to simply adjust the working area, I also have to make adjustments to the environment as well.

For instance, last time I was at the library, a guy working on the computer on my right was coughing and spluttering everywhere; while a woman on my left was also coughing and sneezing. There were also people coughing in the other areas. I reminded myself that I live in Love and I wasn't affected by them.

The moment I walked in this morning I started coughing and even sneezed a few times which seemed to me like the thought forms of coughs and colds were still in place. I decided to adjust the environment to fit my preference by projecting Light everywhere. In other words, I put out the intention that the Light of my True Self fills the whole building. I stopped coughing and felt better.

I would never buy shoes that don't fit, so why should I work or live in an environment that doesn't resonate with who I am?

If the shoe doesn't fit, why wear it?

Determination

2008-12-15T11:41:00.007Z

The other night I watched the finale of the talent show The X Factor when Alexandra Burke was crowned the winner. Although I would have preferred JLS to win as I think they're cute lads, I was glad Alexandra took the title as I admired her determination as well as her talent.

Alexandra auditioned for the series three years ago but didn't get through to the final stage of the completion when the acts got to perform live. Although she was devastated at the time, she didn't give up on her dreams. During the series, she ended up meeting two of her pop idols: Mariah Carey and Beyonce Knowles.

I read in another article that Alexandra won a competition to meet Beyonce backstage in her concert. After meeting Beyonce, she was determined to trust in herself and in her dreams. She even vowed that one day she was going to sing with Beyonce. In the finale, her dream did come true and she got to sing with Beyonce.

During the series, the judges commended Alexandra for having such a positive attitude. She appeared to be loving every moment and feeling very grateful for being on the show.

It's quite fitting really that her first single is called "Hallelujah." Hallelujah indeed for fulfilling your dream! According to the lyrics, the song is about the joy of sex. I guess God created sex for us to enjoy so why not sing Hallelujah while we're at it. ;-)

Thank you, Alexandra, for reminding me how important it is to trust in myself and in my dreams, which always come true.

All my love and the very best to you, darling. Enjoy your dreams.

What a Wonderful Surprise!

2008-12-13T11:31:00.003Z

Life is filled with wonder.

Last night I was inspired to take another route home. I figured I would get off at a particular stop to use the local Internet shop then catch another bus home from there.

Right in front of the Internet shop was this woman who looked very familiar. I walked into the shop then something told me to go back and speak to the woman. I realised she was an old friend I used to work with years ago in my early twenties. My first trip to America was actually with her and another friend. It was so wonderful to see her. I decided to stay and chat with her. It turned out she was waiting for the same bus that I intended to catch home.

We spent the bus journey catching up about our previous job and work colleagues and what we've both been up to. It's funny how at the time I had complained about the job and couldn't wait to leave, now all I remember about that particular job is fun and laughter.

Later at home when I was watching television I noticed a name that was the same surname as the other friend we'd been away to America with. I guess it was her way of connecting.

Speaking of which, three years ago I saw someone who reminded me of this other friend. A few days later I bumped into a guy who used to date my best friend at university. The guy he was with was no other than my friend's brother. It turned out the two guys were best friends. I asked my friend's brother to pass on my regards to his sister. (See Let the Universe Take Care of the Details)

Back to the friend I met last night, she only lives about two miles from me so I might see her again.

Thank you Universe for a wonderful surprise. I expect to experience lots more wonderful surprises every single day.

Can a Leopard Change Her Spots?

2008-12-12T15:12:00.005Z

When I was a child there was a particular African vegetable dish I didn't like but I had to eat. I vowed to myself that when I become an adult I would never have it.

After I left home, I didn't eat much African food. I can't cook the traditional dishes anyway nor was I ever interested in learning how to. I would only have some when I went to visit my mother. She never prepared the dish I didn't like.

When my mother and I started living together I still wouldn't have this dish when she cooked it.

Some time last year she cooked this sauce and asked if I'd like to try some. I said I didn't. Mum reminded me that if I truly believed in the principle of every moment is new i.e. "that was then, and this is now", I should put my money where my mouth is and test that principle. My mother had a point. I tried a spoonful and didn't like it.

Yesterday, my mother cooked the same vegetable dish with oil rather than the usual palm oil. I was curious to taste what it was like. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked it so much I had a plateful.

It just shows that some leopards do change their spots. I'll see if I still like the dish enough to have more tonight.

I wonder if I'll ever get to like avocado?

Hmmm, one step, I mean spot, at a time. :-)

Changing Frequencies

2008-12-12T09:57:00.019Z

While I was at my friend's music studio recently, he showed me how he mixes different sounds. He also showed me to adjust the frequency of particular sounds and create balance. He talked about rhythms and how different beats create different song genres giving rise to the equivalent lifestyle. I could very much relate to frequencies and rhythms which I see as feelings that give rise to the equivalent life experiences.

In the middle of last night I woke up with a sore throat, a blocked nose, and felt my body aching. This could only mean one thing - I was listening to a different frequency. It was time to tweak the button to my preferred frequency. When I asked my Inner Producer for assistance, I had the thought: "I am feeling good." I could feel my body mass changing and feeling lighter and lighter. I focused on the Inner Sound that I hear when I'm in silence which feels really blissful. Then I heard the U2 song, "It's a Beautiful Day" playing in my head, which I LOVE. I've actually been listening to that song on and off over the past week. I imagined myself as Bono, the lead vocalist, looking really sexy with his guitar.

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you Beautiful Day, Lyrics

There's a scene in the "Beautiful Day" video where a plane takes off. Planes tend to ascend to a particular altitude and stay at that altitude until it's ready to descend. In the same respect, I was now "lifted up" from the feeling of pain to that of joy, happiness and feeling good.

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case Beautiful Day, Lyrics

As I remained in bliss "listening" to "Beautiful Day," I noticed the soreness in my throat had vanished and my nose was now unblocked. I asked my Inner Producer to sustain this frequency while I sleep. When I woke up this morning I was feeling as right as rain.

While there are zillions of frequencies I can experience, I prefer staying at the frequency of Joy. At that frequency I attract experiences that resonate with things I love doing. I also find things happen magically in this frequency.

I am Joy in every moment.

Love and gratitude to my music producer friend for his insights.

I LOVE this song "Giving You the Best that I Got" by Anita Baker. I also LOVE that the video is so simple and she lets the music and her music express. A true masterpiece.

The Power of Loving What I Love

2008-12-11T12:13:00.014Z

I have observed that when I love, admire and appreciate something or someone, I'm given lots of opportunities to keep loving what I love. That's the magic of love.

I've been thinking recently about the two Princes of Windsor. In terms of looks, I prefer Prince Harry to Prince William.

While the news was on last night, I drifted off to sleep. At some point in my sleep I was aware of someone talking about Harry. I opened my eyes and noticed a news item about Prince Harry. I managed to keep my eyes open long enough to drink in Harry before I went back to sleep. I believe the only reason why I had woken up was because I love Prince Harry so much.

A few days ago, I watched Take That in concert on television. I LOVE "Take That"! While I was watching the concert with my mother, I said I would love it if Robbie Williams, former member of "Take That", rejoins the group. Look what's in today's newspaper: Robbie Williams: 'I want to rejoin Take That'. I hope you do rejoin "Take That", Robbie, as that would be wonderful.

A friend told me that years ago he bought this woman's two albums which he really liked. Years later he was introduced to a woman and they got on like a house on fire, and even started dating. It turned out she was the same woman whose album he'd bought years before.

I remember once hearing this song I really loved. One day I went on a blind date with this guy and we started dating. It turned out my new boyfriend had produced the song I'd loved so much. When we split up we stayed friends; we are still friends now.

It just shows what the power of loving what I love can do. That's why I believe in following my heart as that is where my treasures are. Of course, my greatest admirer in the Universe is Me.

What I love loves me back.

Oh No, Kids!

2008-12-10T12:04:00.007Z

As the bus I was on was approaching a bus stop, I noticed all these kids waiting. Oh no, school kids! Please don't let them come on this bus! My prayer wasn't answered. They piled on board and headed upstairs where I was sitting. Bugger!

The kids sat in pairs and were very excited. Their teachers asked them to sit quietly. I was curious about where they were headed. When a young man, presumably one of their teachers, sat next to me I asked him. He said they were taking the kids to the cinema. I said my teachers never took us to the cinema when I was at school.

The man told me the kids were in their final year at primary school. We compared notes about our education. My friend was educated in South Africa while I had my primary and secondary education in Sierra Leone. He said he's been living in London for ten years; while I've been living in London for 29 years. I asked him about life in South Africa.

I told my friend that when I saw the kids at the bus stop, I didn't want them to get on the bus. He laughed and said he could perfectly understand because at weekends he tries to avoid kids. It was lovely chatting with my friend.

I'm glad my prayer wasn't answered as I would have missed out on the lovely conversation with the teacher.

Forsaking All Others

2008-12-09T14:22:00.009Z

When people get married they make a vow to forsake all others to commit to their partner. When someone has an affair, there usually comes a point when the one having the affair has to decide whether to stay in the marriage and commit to that decision or end the marriage and move on.

I have written elsewhere that I believe there are two main paradigms: cause/effect and causeless. Simply put, in the cause/effect paradigm, what I do in one moment has an effect on the next moment. In the causeless paradigm, every moment is new and different. Therefore, if I hurt myself at 2.00 pm, there's no reason why I should continue to feel the pain at 2. 01 pm as that is another moment. It is only when I project that moment to the next and the next that the pain continues to have a reality. If I don't want it to continue I can just say "That was then and this is now" or dismiss that moment as nothing.

The causeless paradigm gives me unlimited freedom to experience many different ways of being without effects; while the cause/effect binds me in time and space.

I feel like I've been straddling the two paradigms. Put another way, it's like I've been seeing two different guys and not willing to commit to either until that moment when I made the decision that I am ready to commit to one guy and explore our relationship forever and ever; or as long as the dream lasts. It doesn't mean this paradigm is the right way, I simply choose to focus on experiencing life through this model of reality.

This blog "It is All Nothing" is an opportunity to explore the Causeless paradigm where I'm focusing on all the Good there is in every moment. In the Causeless paradigm of Infinite Self, every moment is new and doesn't have to affect any other moments unless I choose it to be the case.

It's now official. I have forsaken the other model of reality and I am being faithful to the Causeless as long as I choose to explore it.

We are now husband and wife.

I'm All Take, Take, Take!

2008-12-09T10:36:00.009Z

I have a running joke with a friend who works in the library I go to. Every time he sees me he asks if I have some sweets as he knows that I like taking sweets to share with people I meet. Once when he asked me for some sweets I said to him, "What about you, haven't you got any sweets for me?

"I don't have any sweets to give you," he said. "With me, I'm all take, take, take."

We had a good laugh about that.

The funny thing is I don't mind my friend always expecting me to have sweets because it shows that he trusts that I have the resources to buy sweets to give him. I also find I'm more inclined to buy sweets as I know at least one person will appreciate them.

I see my True Self as the source of inexhaustible goodness that I can take from. Source can never be depleted. The more I take the more I have to share.

Every moment I am receiving and assimilating infinite light.
I'm all take, take, take and proud of it.

The Bee's Knees

2008-12-08T13:52:00.004Z

I read a review the other day about a film that has just come out called The Secret Life of Bees. The review attracted my attention because of its title, which I found interesting. I thought to myself how I haven't been to the cinema in years.

The next day I got chatting to a friend I usually see at the library and she told me she'd received a review about the same film. She said she hasn't been to the cinema in years and this film appeals to her. When she started thinking about who she'd like to see it with i.e. someone that will be fun, she thought of me. She even said she'll pay for the tickets. We plan to see the film soon.

That's what I call the bee's knees.

What Credit Crunch?

2008-12-08T10:38:00.028Z

The other day, my mother went to visit a friend. She said when she got out of the train station, she couldn't remember how to get to the house so she asked for directions. She was given a long-winded direction. She reckoned she walked about 2 miles. Fortunately, she found a quicker route back to the station.

"Two miles, hey? I'm impressed," I said.

"I can't believe I walked that far," she said. "At least it was good exercise."

"Well, remember that was then and this is now," I said. "There's no reason why walking should have any effect on who you are now unless you believe it should."

The next morning, yesterday, I was expecting my mother to be up bright and early in time for church but she got up so late I presumed she wasn't going. She told me she was still going but was catching the tube (underground train) instead of travelling by bus.

"You're cutting it fine, aren't you?" I teased her. "I suppose you're going to run to the tube station as I know how much you enjoy walking these days."

"I doubt it," she chuckled. "My legs are still hurting from yesterday's long walk, that's why I woke up late. I'm still going to persevere though."

"Oh, I see. Mum, did you hear about the lavish party that was held in Dubai recently?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Apparently, there was some kind of hotel launch, which all these celebrities were invited to. The organisers didn't seem to be affected by the credit crunch as they spent an absolute fortune."

"Some people are not affected by the credit crunch," mum said.

"Exactly. Why would they when they are so loaded?" I said. "The reason why I'm asking is because rich people are a bit like the unlimited energy we all have access to. When you're tuned into that energy, it shouldn't make any difference whether you've walked 20 miles the previous day as you always have more to keep you going."

Mum gave me a knowing look and smiled. "Oooh, I don't think that will work for me."

"You have unlimited supply of energy, mum, you just have to know you have."

I believe the reason why my mother doesn't buy into the idea of unlimited energy is because she's not operating in that paradigm. In other words, her model of reality is getting in the way.

What do I mean by paradigm? A paradigm is a way of seeing the world. I believe there are two paradigms/models in the Universe: the debit/credit model; and the "nothing can be added to or taken away from" model. Put another way, there is the cause/effect and the causeless.

In the debit/credit or cause/effect paradigm, I always have to do something to get a result. For instance, if I want to be happy, I have to think happy thoughts, focus on having happy experiences or give happiness to others. In other words, I reap what I sow. Experiences from this paradigm is always up and down depending on how much I have in my cosmic bank account. I have observed that majority of people in the human dream operate in the credit/debit paradigm.

In the causeless paradigm, I am inexhaustible happiness. Therefore, it doesn't matter if I give happiness to others or think happy thoughts, as happiness is my nature. Happiness has no beginning or end, it simply is.

When I first got on the spiritual path, my dominant paradigm was the cause/effect. Thus, it was only natural that I would believe that I had to do something, purify myself, give love in order to receive love, etc in order to express my true self. I also believed I had to eat special foods, abstain from alcohol, stimulants, drugs, etc. While I have never smoked or taken mind altering drugs (apart from when I once got accidentally high on some cold and flu remedy) I was still very much concerned about foods and not consuming any alcohol. When I had the paradigm shift to the causeless, I stopped being concerned about what I eat or drink.

What does the paradigm shift really mean on a practical level?

Well, it doesn't matter what foods I eat or whether I eat what some consider to be "junk food"; I am always sustained as I am inexhaustible energy,

So what if I'm going for a long walk? After my walk has finished, I expect to be as fresh as a daisy as I'm inexhaustible energy.

So what if I'm in pain now? I can always tune into energy to dissolve the pain.

So what If I'm looking tired now? I can always charge myself with energy and be rejuvenated.

Since this energy is the substance of all realities, it is this energy I look to for my constant supply, guidance and inspiration.

The causeless paradigm gives me unlimited freedom to experience different realities without worrying about "effects" or society's judgments. I can then choose which experiences I prefer and what memories I prefer to hang on to. For instance, while I have nothing against people who smoke, I wouldn't want to smoke as it's not for me. I also prefer to be in smoke-free environments. Just as well, smoking has now been banned in all public places in England. While I'm not fussed about diets, I have foods that I prefer. I also enjoy the odd glass of wine and liqueurs. I no longer feel the need to take prescribed drugs as I can always tune into Energy. I still have no desire to take drugs or stimulants.

Back to my mother's comment. Right now, my mother's model of reality is cause/effect i.e. you have to do something to have energy. She also believes that what you do in the past must have an effect on you now; that's why she was tired from her previous day's walk. It's not part of her makeup to think that she already has all the energy in every moment.

I operate in the causeless paradigm. Nothing can be added to or taken away from who I am being.

Just because my mother and I operate on different paradigms doesn't stop me loving her. Love conquers all.

Say Cheese!

I love having my photos taken as I find they are fun ways to express who I am as Infinite Self. Shen friends take my photos, they usually bring out what I am feeling at that moment. Depending on my mood, I may look happy, sad, coy, amused, sexy, thoughtful, silly...etc.

On the one hand, these expressions are aspects of who I am as Self; on the other hand, they do not make a dent on who I am as Self.

This means I am capable of expressing infinite ways of being in my photos.

Say cheese!

Harmfulness versus Harmlessness

2008-12-04T15:45:00.011Z

As the saying goes: "One man's meat is another man's poison." Thus, something that is harmless to one might be harmful to another. If we can't agree on what is harmful or harmless, this suggests that each individual is making up or dreaming what it means for them.

Because each of us is dreaming what reality means for them, this also means that I have complete power on what harmfulness means for me. I can choose to make everything harmful or see everything as harmless.

I believe only thoughts, words and deeds that bless, comfort, delight, elevate, empower, heal, harmonise, illuminate, inspire, liberate, nourish, pacify, prosper, support, unite have any power. All thoughts, words and deeds that are limiting in any way have no power, meaning or reality in my personal experience. In other words, only thoughts, words and deeds of love have any power.

I'm reminded of a scene in the film, The Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy is stuck in a dream-like reality and desperate to get home. When Dorothy arrives in the land of the Munchkins, she is threatened by the Wicked Witch of the West. Here's part of the dialogue:

MS -- The Witch rises, threatens Dorothy -- Glinda laughs, speaks -- the Witch reacts, looks up o.s. -- then continues to threaten Dorothy --

WITCH
You stay out of this, Glinda, or I'll fix you as well!

GLINDA
(laughs)
Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you, too.

WITCH
Very well -- I'll bide my time -- and as for you, my fine lady, it's true, I can't attend to you here and now as I'd like, but just try to stay out of my way.... The Wizard of Oz Movie script

I believe this is a very important point. Glinda knows that the witch has no power to harm Dorothy in the land of the Munchkins but when Dorothy has moved away from that reality, she is susceptible to the witch's power. Why is that? Because Dorothy is afraid and believes the witch has power to harm her. In fact, when Dorothy joins forces with the lion, scarecrow and the tin man, who are hoping the Wizard of Oz would help them have courage, wisdom and love respectively, their fear is magnified which gives the witch even more power over them. It's only when they realise they already have what they seek within them that the witch ceases to have control over them.

To recap:

In the dream, thoughts, words or deeds have power to harm, if I believe they do.
In the dream, thoughts, words or deeds have no power, if I believe they do.

In truth, there is nothing harmful or harmless. There is only the ONE Light appearing as all forms that is free of all concepts, dogma or meanings.

Light is all there is.

Lullabies

2008-12-02T10:58:00.015Z

Before I went to bed last night I had a stomach cramp. I figured I'd just go to sleep and it will sort itself out. In the middle of the night I woke up and was doubled up in pain. It was time to resolve the situation. I thought to myself "I'm feeling good; I feel love." The Donna Summer song "I Feel Love" came to mind which I hummed. I felt the tension being released from my stomach and I felt good.

Suddenly, I saw a vision of myself in another time looking distressed. I could see I was travelling on a bus at the time. I noticed this light being standing beside me. The being was reminding my past self of that Donna Summer song. When my past self remembered the song and hummed it, she was healed.

My vision changed and I saw another version of myself in pain and then saw the same Light being suggesting a song to ease the pain. This time, the song was "Dress You Up in Love" by Madonna. The moment that self accepted the lyrics, she was healed.

I could also see that the Light being who was giving out these lyrics is Me as my True Self, which exists both in and out of time. She is constantly pouring out her inexhaustible love in whatever way I am open to receive. Like a mother, she sometime gives me the appropriate lullabies to ease my pain.

The True Self is my healer, father-mother, friend, lover, saviour, source and teacher.

I feel love; I am loved.

Friendly Ghosts

2008-12-01T14:12:00.010Z

I have observed there are many books about people communicating with people who have passed over or channelled writings with entities who claim to be on different planes of existence. How come there are not many books on the other kinds of ghosts I experience in my reality?

The other day on the bus I closed my eyes and felt this presence giving me a kiss. I knew it was a friend I have a very strong bond with. We'd been sending hugs and kisses via email so it didn't surprise me that our kisses had come to life. After I told him about the kiss he said he'd felt my presence. Now my friend is not into any "spiritual" stuff, yet he can still sense when I'm thinking of him. We have this joke that we're haunting one another.

I may not look like a ghost in the popular sense, yet I am very much aware that I exist in all realities. That's because I am a multi-dimensional being. When I am thinking of someone I am activating my presence in that individual. If that person and I have a strong emotional connection and they are open, they're bound to feel my presence. In the same respect, I find I tend to sense those who I have a strong emotional bond with.

So while I'm still very much open to communicating with the "dead" or other worldly beings, I believe there's a lot of fun to be had playing with friendly human ghosts right here and now.

Peace and love to all friendly ghosts.

Enocia, the friendly ghost

The Perfect Dream Dance Partner

2008-12-01T13:42:00.003Z

The other night I watched the finale of Dancing with the Stars the dance contest where celebrities pair up with professional dancers. I was glad the professional dancer Derek Hough had won because he happens to be my favourite dancer on the series. When Derek was asked how he felt, he said he'd been dreaming about winning for a long time and it felt unreal.

I believe the moment I have a dream to have an experience, it's already been realised. If that dream involves others, then it takes the right kind of "dance partners" who resonate in order for the dream to be realised. In the case of Derek Hough, it was only when he was paired off with Brooke Burke that the dream was realised. Brooke said Derek has always been her favourite dance partner. Is it any wonder she was paired off with Derek? Like attracts like.

Speaking of which, yesterday I found a magazine on the bus I was travelling in called "Homes and Holidays", which comes free with the Sunday Mirror newspaper. In the magazine was an article about Erin Boag's dream home. Erin is a professional dancer on the TV show, Strictly Come Dancing, the British equivalent of "Dancing with the Stars."

Erin said seven years ago, before the show started, she was sitting in a cafe with her mother when an apartment overlooking the River Thames caught her eye. She dreamed of living by the river but she knew she couldn't afford it on what she was earning as a dancer. When the TV show "Strictly Come Dancing" came along, she and her boyfriend pooled their resources together and they started looking for an apartment by the river. They couldn't find any that was suitable and just as she was about to give up, she noticed another apartment had been put on the list of another estate agent, which seemed to have the requirements she had in mind. Erin went to view it immediately. She walked through the lounge and straight to the balcony and knew she had to have that apartment, even though she hadn't seen the rest of the apartment or even knew what the price was. When she told her mother about the apartment, her mother emailed her a photograph of the apartment Erin had liked, which her mother had secretly taken. It turned out to be the very same apartment. Erin says she and her fiancé love their apartment and she can't imagine ever leaving.

I believe dreams do come true, however, it is Love that does everything: the dreaming, attracting, supplying, planning and arranging.

Derek had a dream to become a dancer and to win "Dancing with the Stars." His love attracted to him a dance partner who admired his talent; and her love made her very open to receive Derek's instructions.

Erin had a dream to live in a wonderful apartment by the river. Her love for the apartment attracted a job doing what she loves doing, which gave her the resources she needed to buy her apartment. When she could afford her apartment, her dream apartment became available.

Love is my perfect dream dance partner. To resonate with Love I believe it is important to do what I love.

Love is all there is.

The Universe is Always on My Side

2008-11-28T15:59:00.004Z

As my bus was taking ages to arrive I figured I would jump on the first bus that arrived and change later. As I was getting on, a passenger in a wheelchair indicated to the driver that she wanted to get off, which meant the driver had to let out the ramp in order for the passenger to get out. All this took a few minutes. I looked back and saw my bus was approaching from behind but it was too late to get off.

At the next stop, I caught the bus I really wanted.

So what seemed to be a delay was really the Universe doing me a favour, keeping me warm in another bus until my bus arrived.

There are no obstacles.
All experiences are my ally.
All things work out for good.
The Universe is always on my side.

Mother and Father

2008-11-28T15:43:00.005Z

I always find it interesting observing how like-thoughts attract like.

During my bus journey, I noticed a shop with the word "Baba" in its shop title. In some cultures "baba" is another way of saying "father."

Two doors away was another shop called "Mother Earth."

Hmmm, mother and father involved in a business on the same road.

A few yards down was a car parked with the registration number: MUM.

I rest my case.

To Pee or Not to Pee? - Part 2

2008-11-27T12:12:00.029Z

I woke up in the middle of the night desperate to have a pee, but I couldn't be bothered to go to the toilet. What to do? Lie there and wet myself, suppress it, or get up and take care of business?

I already know there is a Me that doesn't need to pee. All I need to do is be that Me. In silence I thought: I am Spirit. After that, I no longer felt the desire to pee.

Why did I no longer have the urge?

Because when I think "I am Spirit" I am being the boundless Self that has no beginning or end and feels no sensation. To the observer I might appear to look the same and even act the same but my experience of the universe changes. When you are as vast as the sky, you're either going to pee forever or have no desire to pee.

Now when I say I experience myself as boundless Self, it doesn't mean I am not Self in form. Every moment I am being Self/Spirit. However, I experience Self as different frequencies, rather like water that can appear as different states: solid, liquid and gas. The trick is to be able to change my frequency to match whatever I want to experience at the time.

For many years I've had a ringing in one ear that medical experts call Tinnitus. I have also observed that there is an Inner Sound which not only sounds blissful, I have used it for healing. Instead of getting rid of the Tinnitus, I now use it as a gauge to know when I'm tuning into a higher frequency of Being. Then the ringing changes to that of the Inner Sound of bliss.

I find it very useful to experience myself as different states of being. For instance, if I want to enjoy a good meal, it's useful to have taste buds in order to enjoy the meal. When I am being pure Spirit I have no desire to eat; and when I do, the food tastes like nothing. How can I enjoy chocolate when it takes like nothing? The moment I've finished eating, I switch back to inner silence which erases all taste of the food and I return to the default taste of sweetness.

When I have a lot of work on, it's useful to be inexhaustible energy. When I'm not tuned into that frequency, I find the slightest effort leaves me feeling drained and physically sick.

When I have experienced an injury such as whacking my elbow, I have quickly reversed it by raising my frequency and the pain has instantly dissolved.

To pee or not to pee? That rather depends on whether I can be bothered to pee or not.

Late Night Visitor

2008-11-27T11:47:00.008Z

In the middle of last night, while I was in that state between dreaming and being fully awake, I felt this Presence and heard a voice calling out my name. The sound seem to come all around me. This brought me fully awake.

I know the experience didn't happen outside of me and that I was picking up a thought in Mind but it will be nice to remember who that unique thought was. The caller used a name only a few people call me by.

I trust that the person's identity will come into my conscious awareness.

Don't Believe the Hype!

2008-11-26T15:39:00.009Z

A friend who had been typing on the computer beside me emailed me and suggested that I should take breaks while working on the computer.

"Take a break? What's that then?" I replied.

She wrote back: "Bad for your health - this is a health and safety warning from your computer neighbour."

My response was: "The computer is my friend."

My friend and I chatted later and she warned me about RSI.

"RSI? What's that then?"

"You know, Repetitive Strain Injury. If you're typing all the time you might do yourself an injury."

"Don't believe the hype!" I said to her.

"Really?"

"RSI is a belief that I don't buy into."

I can sit in front of a computer all day and all night because I love it.

Love doesn't hurt.

Love Dissolves Grudges - Revisited

2008-11-26T11:42:00.026Z

So a friend asked if I was aware that Constance Briscoe was being sued by her mother for slander. My friend is a huge fan of Briscoe's work. He showed me an article about the trial.

Briscoe is the author of "Ugly." I've never read the book but I'm aware it's a memoir of her childhood when she apparently experienced physical and emotional abuse. Constance is now one of the few black judges in Britain.

The same friend asked me if I knew where the trial was taking place as he was thinking of attending the trial on his day off. I looked it up on the Web and told him what court it was at.

Constance Briscoe's trial represents grudges one can hold which can last anything between a minute to generations. Grudges are always based on who is right and wrong. As I see it, grudges are pointless as everyone is always right anyway based on their beliefs and vantage points. Even if you were to take it to the extremes, the person could argue that he believed he was right for feeling the way he was, which led him to behave the way he had.

It is possible Briscoe believed that writing her memoirs was her way of making right what she believed was wrong about her childhood, reclaiming her power, and inspiring people in similar situations. While she appears to have achieved success, fame and fortune, the feeling of hurt from childhood has stayed with her and her mother, which they are dragging through the courts. I believe it matters not who wins this case because as long as they're both feeling that hurt, the emotional trial will continue indefinitely until one of them chooses to break free.

How does one break free from emotional trials?

I believe one way is to stop identifying with your personal history that makes you want to blame, defend, attack or seek justice.

There was a time when I was going through therapy to help me heal from past wounds. Instead of feeling better, I felt stuck as I kept seeing myself as a victim/survivor. One day I realised I wasn't a victim or survivor, I am the True Self that is eternal bliss in every moment. The moment I identified myself as the True Self, I no longer had the desire to have any more therapy or harp on about the past. I was free to be Me that is all the good feelings in the Universe. Friends who had shared my previous victim/survivor model of reality soon fell by the wayside.

Does this mean one cannot focus on the past? As a writer, I focus a lot on past experiences. However, I am only interested in experiences that bless, illuminate, inspire and uplift. In the same respect, when I'm dreaming of the future, it has to be a blessing or I'm not interested.

I can choose to wallow in past grievances or hurt or I can choose to be my True Self that is an endless feeling of bliss, happiness, joy, love and peace in every moment; leading to the equivalent life experiences. I choose Love in every moment.

All my love and best wishes to Constance, her mother, their friends and loved ones.

Pulling a Perfect Stunt

2008-11-25T15:10:00.005Z

During a classic episode of the TV game show, Family Fortunes, a contestant told the host he's worked as a stuntman with John Wayne, the movie star. Apparently, he was the guy who got chucked out of those bar scene brawls. It made me think of an Internet friend who is a stuntman. I wondered if he'd ever been chucked out of a bar.

The next day I received an email from my friend inviting me to join a website. I emailed him and told him I'd been thinking about him. I told him about the stuntman on television and asked if he'd been chucked out of bars. My friend said only last week while he was at Pinewood Studios he met this stunt guy who had worked with John Wayne and even has a signed photograph. My friend said he also watches "Family Fortunes" though he watches the latest versions. He's also been thrown out of many bars; the latest was in a hospital drama called "Casualty."

Now that's what I call pulling a perfect stunt.

Every moment of every day is an opportunity for me to feel good.
My body is a tool for me to feel good.
Writing is one of my many ways to feel good.
My blogs are my outlets to feel good.
The Universe provides infinite opportunities for me to feel good.

I am feeling good in every moment.

Overnight Success

2008-11-24T15:12:00.009Z

As I was walking to the bus stop this morning, I thought of a lecture I'd watched on television yesterday with Bishop Eddie Long about harvesting. He said if you buy a packet of seeds and don't do anything with them, they remain seeds six months later. For the seeds to grow they have to be planted in the right environment. After the seeds have been planted, it takes time for them to grow. First they develop roots inside and then they form shoots that are then visible.

Long said sometimes people get impatient or discouraged when things are not happening fast enough. The idea is to keep doing what you're doing and never give up and in due season, you will receive the harvest, which is always is a lot more that you put out.

I can very much relate to this because I have found that I have had to be consistent and believed in what I was doing. Even when I have felt disillusioned that things are not happening fast enough or I'm not seeing things change, I've had to believe in myself. I was also reminded of a conversation I had with a friend recently about "overnight success", which he believes is an illusion. I agree with my friend. I believe hundreds or thousands of hours of dreaming, believing, practising, trusting, and working have gone into that "overnight success."

At the bus stop, I felt compelled to catch the first bus that arrived even though it meant I would have to change. On the bus I noticed some newspapers and picked one up only to discover it was several days old (Wednesday 19 November 2008). I noticed the page was open to an article called The secret of your success? 10,000 hours. The article discusses how important it is to put the hard graft into whatever you're into before success is achieved. After reading the article, I sent the link to the same friend I had been discussing "overnight success" with. My friend said he already has two of the author's books. Now it made sense why I had felt compelled to catch that bus.

Is there such a thing as overnight success?

I believe there is, but it could take a while for that success to unfold.

Girl Power

2008-11-24T14:50:00.003Z

Two nights ago I heard a song that reminded me of a friend. When the Spice Girls were reunited briefly last year, we talked about attending the concert together as I love the Spice Girls.

Yesterday as I was flicking through the TV channels I noticed the movie Spice World was on, a docu-spoof about the "Spice Girls." It was lovely seeing the girls and hearing them perform some of their songs.

I believe the desire to see the Spice Girls came from my Beloved or True Self. While I didn't end up going to the concert with my friend, my Beloved arranged it for me to watch the Spice Girls in another form.

Just shows dreams do come true but sometimes they take different forms.

I'm Feeling Good - Part 2

2008-11-24T10:31:00.008Z

In a previous piece called When All is Said and Done, It's All Been Said and Done, I said that I believe I've already experienced all time and all realities. Another way to put it is that I have already experienced all the good feelings there are in every moment. When I first experienced myself as the Light of my True Self, I felt Him as the sum total of all good feelings: love, bliss, joy, peace, happiness, freedom magnified a zillion times.

I believe every moment, I can choose whether to experience all the good feelings of my True Self that have always existed and will always exist that give rise to the equivalent experiences ; or I can choose to express feelings that are not of my True Self and have the equivalent dream experiences.

For instance yesterday before I did the household chores, I focused on the good feelings to help me with the chores. I was even whistling a theme tune I really love. Somehow I must have disconnected from those good feelings because by the time I'd finished Hoovering the carpet, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, I was feeling like shit, leading to a stomach upset, then I really had to do number twos.

Later as I was lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself, my mother said, "You're not feeling good then?"

"Not so good," I moaned.

As I relaxed I reminded myself of who I am - the sum total of all good feelings in every moment.

I am feeling Good.

Within a few moments I was back to feeling good. Then I had a wash, ate some food, watched some feel good stuff on television, and had a fun day hanging out with my mother.

Life is quite simple really. I am either being the sum total of all good feelings or the sum total of all not so good feelings. According to my feelings so are my experiences.

I am feeling good now and forever.

No Drama - Revisited

2008-11-22T14:46:00.008Z

There's a guy that comes to the library who is renowned for making a huge fuss over nothing. There's always something he's complaining about and likes drawing people into his drama.

While he was sitting beside me using the Internet, he asked if I was using Google Mail and I said I was. He said when he logs out and logs back in, he's noticed that his username and password automatically appears. He asked me if I could log out of my account and see if the same thing happens with mine. I logged out as he'd suggested and when I logged back in my username and password automatically appeared.

My friend said he was concerned about this as he didn't want anyone else logging into his email. He said he's reported this to the librarian and asked them to log him out completely, but when they logged him back in his username and password still appeared.

I suggested that the way to get rid of his problem is to simply click into the Tool menu and delete all browsing history, which will delete all temporary Internet files, cookies, websites history, forms, passwords and settings held in memory. After he'd done as I'd suggested, his username and password no longer appeared.

When All is Said and Done, It's All Been Said and Done

2008-11-22T11:05:00.011Z

I believe I've already experienced all realities and all possibilities. How do I know? Because as my True Self, Light, I am in all realities. I've also had visions where I've seen myself experiencing all realities in an instant. Life, as I am experiencing it, is an opportunity to unfold what I as Light have already experienced in Mind.

Now I have a choice whether to experience life as if every moment is new and unknown or I can live with the awareness that I've already experienced all realities. Even though I may not consciously "remember" that I have already experience all realities, I can never fool my intuition who always knows.

For instance, during my bus journeys, if the bus is packed full, I always stand near a passenger that is about to get off. How do I know? Because I've already had the experience.

Last night on my way home I had this feeling to travel a long-winded route home, which means catching the bendy bus. The bendy bus has lots of standing room and not many seats. There were no seats available when I got on. Right where I was standing a seat became available but another woman grabbed it. I didn't feel like standing all the way during the journey. I knew that if I remained standing where I was I would have a long wait.

I suddenly had an urge to move further down and stand in a particular aisle. At first I resisted as there was a group of girls chatting loudly and I wanted to sit somewhere quiet. But I got the urge to move so I did and I stood where I felt the most comfortable. Within a few minutes, a passenger got out and I grabbed her seat. I ended up eavesdropping the girls' conversation, which turned out to be rather amusing.

The day before, I had written in a forum about an advert I love on television that has a gorilla that plays the drums. The girls discussed the same advert and how funny they found it. Check out the video on YouTube.

The girls also exchanged experiences about their parents' quirks. One girl said one night the police knocked on their front door around 2 am. When she opened it, the officer asked if everything was alright as a concerned neighbour had reported some disturbance coming from their house. The girl assured the officer everything was fine but the officer wasn't convinced. It turned out the "disturbance" had been her mother who had been praying for the last hour. I couldn't help but chuckle after hearing that story as it reminded me of my late uncle who used to pray with similar enthusiasm.

My bus journey yesterday evening had already occurred in mind. That's why I knew I had to travel using that route and sit next to those girls.

Today has already happened, as is tomorrow, and the next, and the next...forever and ever.

When all is said and done, everything has already been said and done.

A Real Godsend

2008-11-21T10:08:00.019Z

"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy

I have observed that that the Universe is constantly meeting my needs right where I'm at. As I travel a lot on the buses, I tend to find many treasures during my journey.

Over the last few weeks I've been picking up a copy of the weekly magazine Shortlist, which someone usually dumps on the bus. It doesn't bother me at all that the magazine is very male orientated, I still find interesting stories and gems to amuse myself during my bus journey. When I got on the bus yesterday, I didn't see any copies. I figured I could always read it online anyway.

Later in the evening as I was waiting for my bus into town, I remembered I had forgotten to look up the website. I thought of a friend I'd seen the week before with whom I'd discussed articles from "Shortlist." In fact, before we met last week for a drink, I'd been reading in "Shortlist" about Fabio Capello, the England football team manager. When I met up with my friend he told me he'd just been reading about Fabio in his newspaper. Suddenly I looked up and noticed a bus across the road with the advert of a new shop called "Guru." I thought it was hilarious because the same friend's nickname for me is "Guru." I wondered if he was picking up on my vibes.

When I got into town, I was going to browse at a bookshop then I remembered my mother had asked me to run some errands for her at the local supermarket. I decided to head off home before it was too late. During my journey, I fell asleep. When I woke up I was vaguely aware of a man sitting beside me and reading. When he got off he dumped a magazine on the seat, which I picked up. I was delighted to discover it was "Shortlist" magazine. I even took the magazine home with me. This week's issue features my favourite James Bond actor of all time, Roger Moore. (I even had a dream last night about the younger version of Roger Moore. Love him!).

At home, I shared my bus experiences with my mother.

" You don't even have to do anything and it all comes to you," she chuckled. "It's like it says in the Bible, 'my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory'* and that's what's happening with you. That's quite amazing, you know."

"Can you imagine if I was to try and figure things out?" I said. "When I think of the many routes I could have travelled home and the fact that I decided to get off at that particular stop and catch that particular bus at that particular time. I couldn't begin to think how to get hold of that magazine."

"You didn't have to work it out, God did it for you. It just shows how pointless it is to worry about how things should turn out. If only we'd just relax and let things happen."

The magic of synchronicity doesn't play favourites and is working for everyone. While I was reading the magazine during my bus journey, I noticed a man who had suddenly realised he'd been sitting behind a woman he is acquainted with. She was with her friend. They all got off at the next stop. From their body language I could tell the woman and man liked each other. I hope now that the Universe has arranged their meeting so perfectly, they take their relationship to the next level.

I believe every moment is a real Godsend. Don't worry, be happy!

And the Winner Is...

2008-11-20T15:29:00.007Z

I've been following Strictly Come Dancing on television, the talent show where celebrities are paired off with professional dancers. One celebrity, John Sergeant, has been constantly voted in by the public even though the judges believe he's a terrible dancer. The judges (and I suspect the other celebrities) have been feeling frustrated about John staying in the competition while "better" dancers have been kicked out of the show.

What I love about John is that he's having fun and not taking it all seriously. I don't suppose he even expected to go beyond the second week let alone as far as he has. I don't care that he is not the greatest dancer ever, he's every entertaining to watch. As I was watching the show the other night with my mother, I told her I would love John to win the contest as it would be hilarious. My mother agreed as she also loves John.

I reckon John must have picked up on our vibes as he announced yesterday that he was pulling out of the competition.

At a press conference yesterday, Sergeant said he had decided to quit the show because he might actually win - a prospect he called a "frightening thought".

"There was a real danger I could win the show. Even for me that would be a joke too far," he added. Strictly Come Dancing: more than 2,000 complain over John Sergeant exit

For me, John demonstrates that it's not always about how well you can do something but how much joy you are being. I believe that's why the audience love John so much. I respect his decision to quit though.

As far as I'm concerned there can only be one winner of this season's "Strictly Come Dancing" and it's ....pause for dramatic tension...John Sergeant.

We love you John!

Self-Realisation

2008-11-19T10:34:00.046Z

I believe my life's purpose is Self-Realisation. What do I mean by Self-Realisation?

Self-Realisation means waking up to who I really am as the True Self and living as the True Self.

Waking up to the True Self

For me this occurred when I realised there is only one Self that we all share. That Self is my true self that has always existed and will always exist. The True Self is inexhaustible love, power and wisdom. I have experienced this Self as Light which a friend has reproduced in the fractal above. I also refer to this Self as the The One, My Beloved or the Infinite Self.

I also realised that the One/Self is all there is and there is nothing outside the Self. Thus, all experiences, all things, all realities originate from or are emanations of the Self. Therefore, no matter how much energy I draw from Self, it makes no difference as Its resources are limitless.

The idea of nothing outside the Self goes against my human programming that had mesmerised me to interpret all experiences as occurring outside the self or separate from self. When I became Self-Realised I realised all experiences arise out of Me, my True Self.

Living as the True Self

This means living with the constant awareness that all realities come from the one Self. Let's say I'm not feeling well. To reverse the effects all I have to do is remember who I am as Inexhaustible Love in every moment and that Love is the source of all I am being. Love then transmutes the reality of sickness into Love, which is translated in the human realm as a feeling of well-being.

I find the following verse from the Bible an excellent daily reminder.

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118: 24

The LORD refers to the Self, therefore, every moment of that day comes from Self.

Last night I watched the film The Matrix about a group of "rebels" who show computer hacker, Neo, the true nature of reality and how to escape from the "Matrix." The Matrix represents the system of control and rules that keep humans bound in limited thinking and expressions. The leader of the rebels believes Neo is the one who will both save humanity from the Matrix and help humanity in the battle against the machines in the future. Unfortunately for Neo, Agent Smith and the other agents who are working for the Matrix are determined to maintain the status quo and doing all they can to eliminate Neo.

Although Neo doesn't believe he is the One, he still wants to escape the Matrix. As he starts to believe more and more in himself he finds himself gaining more power and can even dodge bullets just like the agents. In one scene, Neo is being chased by some agents and is calling to his friends outside the Matrix to guide him. He says: "Mr. Wizard, get me the hell out of here."

I believe the "wizard" refers to the movie The Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy is stuck in a dream-like reality and desperate to get home. She is advised that the Wizard of Oz might be able to help her. On her way to the Land of Oz she meets the lion, tin man and scarecrow who believe they are lacking in courage, a brain and a heart respectively. Dorothy suggests that they travel with her to Oz and she's sure the Wizard will grant their wishes. It turns out the Wizard can't help them. All four of them come to realise that they already have within them what they're looking for.

Similarly, when Neo asks his friends outside the Matrix to guide him out of the Matrix, he ends up being shot and dies. It is only when Trinity, one of the rebels, tells him how much she loves him that he's resurrected and Neo fully realises his nature as the One (which is an anagram of Neo). As the One, he no longer needs to dodge the bullets as he can see that the bullets are part of him. In other words, Neo has realised that all experiences come from him which he can control. Neo no longer needs to fight Agent Smith but simply transmutes him into Light. At the end of the film, Neo chooses to stay in the Matrix to help rescue others stuck within the Matrix.

I believe Self-Realisation is the only real work there is. Every moment is an opportunity to express Self. Put another way:

"For infinity, the only worthwhile enterprise of a warrior is freedom. Any other enterprise is fraudulent." The Active Side of Infinity, Carlos Castaneda

Only ONE exists.

Affairs of the Heart

2008-11-18T11:31:00.008Z

During my bus ride the Inner Voice gave me a preview of things to come in terms of my personal relationship. I was told about someone who is going to reveal how he truly feels about me. I argued with the Voice that was impossible as I don't feel the same way and don't expect to have those feelings. The Voice said things will change and the feelings will be mutual.

When I got off the bus, I noticed my next bus was already in front but the doors were closed. Just as the bus was about to move off, I banged on the doors. The driver glanced at me but wouldn't open the doors. Great, thanks a lot! It was then I saw another bus had pulling up behind. I decided to sit downstairs for a change. In the seat opposite me was a book which someone had left on the bus. I picked it up and realised it was a Mills & Boon romantic fiction.

During the journey I read parts of it and got the gist of the story, which is about a man who has got himself a trophy wife. Neither of them are in love. The woman is determined she's not open to fall in love after her previous experience. Then she has an accident and loses her memory for a short while. She then starts to see her husband in a new light and realises she is in love with him. When she regains her memory she's terrified about the way she's feeling about her husband, whom she's convinced is still in love with and having an affair with his ex-partner. She confronts her husband about this and discovers that he's in love with her and has been for a very long time.

It's amazing how I found a book about affairs of the heart after having the same dialogue with my Inner Self. It must be a sign. I've kept the book as a souvenir.

As regards my personal relationship, I'll keep an open mind and see how things unfold.

Making the Good Old Days Last Forever

2008-11-17T13:28:00.019Z

I've heard people talk about the "good old days" when money went a long way. In those days, a family of 6 could live comfortably off a father's weekly wage of £5 a week and still have enough money to save for a rainy day. Nowadays you'll be lucky to buy a meal for a fiver.

What if we reverted to the" good old days" where £5 can stretch not only for one week but indefinitely? That would mean you only have to work for one week and then live off your wages for as long as you're in the dream. The problem with that idea is that society needs workers who can earn a weekly or monthly wage in order to sustain other businesses in society. Nice try though.

My mother has been feeling poorly again from the flu. This is the third time she's been sick in about three months and she's wondering what's going on. She's been using the pills her doctor has prescribed and her own potions but they don't seem to be working.

Two nights ago when I heard her coughing I wondered whether she'd like to try my way of healing. The moment I had the thought she came out of her bedroom to get some water from the kitchen. I asked her if she wanted me to pray for her and she agreed. I lay one hand on her head and the other on her shoulder and in thought affirmed the truth of our being: "I AM Wholeness." Then I left her to get some rest. She stopped coughing and went to sleep.

While I was still awake I had the following thought: "I AM is the present tense for all time," which is from the book Christ in You. This means when I use the affirmation I AM Wholeness, I am speaking the truth of what God is for all time. Therefore, once I've made that affirmation, there's no need to keep repeating myself. All I have to do is claim that truth for myself.

What do I mean by "claim"? When you connect to the electricity grid, there's no need to ask permission from the electricity supplier each time you want to use it, all you do is switch on the light. To claim is to know you're already permanently connected to the grid and switch on the light.

We are permanently connected to the grid but for one reason or another we can dream ourselves disconnected. This is when it's useful to have someone who can help you connect, at least play the game of connecting you to that which you are permanently connected to. I was playing that game when I lay my hands on my mother and prayed on her behalf.

After a few hours of sleep, I heard her coughing again. It was like she'd been "disconnected" again. I wondered if it had something to do with the fact that she'd already made an appointment to see her doctor. She needs to be sick if she wants him to prescribe her some more medication. There's no point going to see the doctor if you're in perfect health, that would be wasting the doctor's time.

Come to think of it, the System has been structured in such a way that it needs people to dream themselves "disconnected" from Source in order to keep the System going. Where would the Police be if everyone was sweetness and light? There would be no crime and the lawyers would be out of a job. Where would doctors be if everyone was always in perfect health? What if, shock horror, people never died? The funeral directors would be out of a job. And so the dream continues.

Last night I heard my mother coughing again and again I asked her if she wanted me to pray for her. I lay my hands on her and reminded her in thought of her wholeness. She fell asleep instantly. Sometime during the night I heard her coughing again. This time, I called on the healing angels to look after her; at least I dreamt up some healing angels. She got a good night's sleep till this morning when she felt well enough to make her doctor's appointment.

Like the family of 6 whose wages can stretch for their whole lifetime, I believe God has already given us Himself to last forever. It's up to each of us to stop dreaming we are disconnected and claim our rightful heritage now.

"I AM is the present tense for all time."

Londoners

2008-11-15T14:08:00.010Z

On the bus I heard a woman chatting to her friend about Londoners' attitude i.e. that they are cold and unfriendly. She said she was born and bred in London but now lives in Leeds in Yorkshire, where people are a lot more friendly. Her friend was now living in Berkshire which is not that far from London.

Another passenger standing close by asked the woman what Leeds was like and she started talking to him. She said at least he was friendly. After listening for a few minutes I said to her: "This Londoner is wondering whether you'd like some sweets." I offered the woman, her friend and the other passenger some toffee but they declined and burst out laughing.

"OK, now there are two friendly people in London," the woman chuckled.

I told her people are fine when you speak to them. The woman said her experience of Londoners is that they're not open. She said she's not looking for friendship just acknowledgement. It costs nothing to smile and say hello. She said earlier she'd noticed this woman struggling with a push chair. When she offered her assistance the woman nearly bit her head off. The way she described the encounter was hilarious.

I can understand where my friend is coming from. Her experience is that Londoners are unfriendly and according to her expectation so be it. However, the fact that I and the other passenger joined in their conversation disproves her theory about Londoners.

One thing I love about Londoners is they reflect how I'm feeling. When I'm in the mood for a chat and banter, there are always people to have fun with. When I'm not in the mood to chat then Londoners act unfriendly.

In truth, London and Londoners are states of mind. The world is a state of mind.

I love London and I love all Londoners. I love the world.

Anagrams

2008-11-15T12:07:00.009Z

There is a science fiction series on television called Doctor Who, which started in the 1960s and ran until the late 80s. After it was relaunched in 2005, a spin-off series was created called Torchwood. Because of the connection, characters from "Doctor Who" sometimes appear on "Torchwood"; and vice versa.

I think it's quite clever how they came up with the title "Torchwood" which happens to be an anagram of "Doctor Who."

I believe "Torchwood" and "Doctor Who" illustrate the ONE/God/Love/Spirit perfectly.

I believe there is only one word with infinite anagrams arising from that word. Each of us is an anagram of the ONE. Put another way, we are all scrambled up versions of the ONE.

Only One Word exists.

What are the Chances?

2008-11-15T11:07:00.007Z

I was inspired to review an article I'd written a year ago about a meeting I'd had with a man at the bookshop. My friend had shared how in his quest for knowledged he'd collected many books on different topics. Then he felt burdened by them. After he finally let them go, he realised that there was no longer any need to burden himself with books when he can turn within for answers.

After I'd finished writing and reviewing the article, I headed home. I was in two minds whether to travel by bus or walk home. After stopping off at a shop to buy some sweets, I found my legs had made the decision for me to walk so I did. I thought the journey would give me an opportunity to ponder on more ideas.

After I'd been walking for a while, I noticed this man and a young woman approaching me. The man said hello. I stopped to say hello and realised he was the same man I'd met a year ago at the bookshop.

"You'll never believe this," I said to him. "I've been thinking of you. After we last met, I was so inspired that I wrote an article about you. I was only reading that article a few hours ago."

"Really? That's so inspiring," he smiled. "It's good to see you again."

My friend introduced me to the young woman who was his daughter. I remembered she was with him the last time we'd met. He pulled out a tape recorder and asked to listen to the music. He said it was something he'd just composed. I offered both of them sweets.

My friend said his mother had just died and talked about her for a few minutes. Then he gave me his email address and urged me to get in contact. Before we parted I told him I'd been in two minds whether to walk home or not and I was glad I followed my intuition. He said he sometimes walks to central London. There are times when he even skateboards just to get some exercise.

We then hugged and said goodbye.

There are around 7.5 million people in London. There are many routes I could have used to walk home. What are the chances of bumping into an old friend after reading an article I'd written about him?

As I see it, chances and luck are based on the belief in the many. I believe there is only ONE here being the many. Therefore, it's only natural for me to meet my friend after reading about him as he is only another version of me.

I did end up walking only part of the journey, about 5 miles. Like I said, I had been in two minds. I travelled by bus the rest of the way home.

Only ONE exists.

The Alien

2008-11-14T14:24:00.017Z

In the film, Alien, a strange creature comes on board a space ship and wreaks havoc on the crew. In one scene the baby alien that has been gestating in this man's body bursts out of his stomach. I can very much relate to that scene because many years ago, I had had a similar experience of having an alien burst out from my stomach.

Picture this scene. My mother and I have just had a row about something and I'm not a happy bunny. She's left some dishes in the sink but because I am pissed I don't feel like doing the washing up. While I'm thinking about not doing the dishes, I feel this Presence rising up inside of me and taking over my body. I feel the Presence moving my body to the kitchen. I watch my hands doing the dishes and stacking the plates. I watch myself cleaning the kitchen. I also notice the surprised look on my mother's face when she realises I've done the chores.

I remember at the time wondering who had done the dishes as it certainly wasn't me.

I believe like the alien - the Presence/my True Self - had been gestating in me until that moment when it was ready to be born. The Presence of Love has been expanding and expanding and getting stronger and stronger.

The Presence pays no attention to someone's behaviour or my feelings about someone's behaviour or beliefs. All it cares about is love. When I've had moments of frustration and anger, the Presence has reminded me of who I am as the "alien" and let Her take over.

Every moment the Presence/alien is actively:

"accepting, admiring, amusing, arranging, amazing, appreciating, astounding, attracting, befriending, believing, blessing, calming, celebrating, comforting, communicating, communing, connecting, controlling, creating, delighting, delivering, directing, dissolving, doing, embracing, empowering, encouraging, energising, enjoying, entertaining, experiencing, exploring, expressing, feeling, forgiving, freeing, fulfilling, giving, growing, guiding, harmonising, healing, illuminating, increasing, influencing, inspiring, liberating, listening, living, loving, manifesting, moving, nourishing, organising, opening, operating, overflowing, overturning, perfecting, planning, playing, prospering, protecting, quickening, radiating, receiving, rejoicing, relating, releasing, relieving, renewing, resolving, restoring, revealing, satisfying, saving, serving, sharing, shining, simplifying, soothing, solving, speaking, strengthening, supplying, supporting, surprising, sustaining, thinking, transforming, uniting, uplifting, willing, and working in every moment through infinite channels - visible and invisible; and independent of channels." Activating Love - Revisited

I let go and let the "alien" take over.

I wrote in a piece recently about how much I love the song "Paint it Black" by the The Rolling Stones, even though the lyrics is quite dark.

I've just read an article where Marcus Brigstocke is discussing his favourite album.

"Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon. I wont accept that this is depressing. It's uplifting in every level. It's got sounds on it that I still haven't heard anywhere else. It doesn't matter if I'm in a good mood or a cr*p mood - it never fails to please me." ShortList magazine, page 58

That's exactly how I feel about the song "Paint it Black." Thank you Marcus.

2008-11-13T11:53:00.016Z

While I was chatting to a friend he asked me if I wanted to see a trick.

"Go on then," I said, "I love tricks!"

He took an elastic band from the desk and then hid his hands under the desk to hide the elastic in one hand. I knew he was expecting me to guess which hand it was in. I was determined to win by influencing my friend's decision. I expected the elastic band to be in his right hand.

My friend showed me both hands and said, "OK, which hand is it in?"

"This one," I pointed to his right hand.

"No," he opened his left hand.

"You want another go?"

"Yes."

My friend hid his hands under the table.

"OK, guess which one?"

I pointed to the right hand.

"Wrong again," my friend smiled and opened his left hand.

"I can't believe this!" I was feeling rather frustrated. "I want another go."

He hid his hands again and asked me to pick and I pointed to the right hand.

"Wrong again," he chuckled.

"That's impossible!" I said. "You can't be that good! OK, let's cancel all the other games and a clean slate, right?"

"OK, clean slate," my friend smiled.

He hid his hands under the table and then asked me to choose.

I decided to change my strategy and go for the left hand. Then again, if I did change, he's bound to double-bluff me. I'm still going to change though. Before I did, my friend gazed into my eyes and said, "I can see you're thinking of changing your mind, aren't you? Don't change!"

I pointed to the left hand.

"Wrong again," my friend chuckled. "I told you not to change your mind."

"This is ridiculous! Hang on a minute, this is a trick. The only way you can keep on winning is if you have two elastic bands. You do, don't you? Go on, show me both hands!"

My friend burst out laughing and opened both hands. Just as I had suspected, he did have two elastic bands.

"You git! That's why you kept on winning," I laughed.

"If you hadn't worked it out," my friend laughed, "we could have been here all night."

"I know!"

"Then you'd start thinking I'm a magician."

"Probably! It's a bit like betting shops, where they use a formula to make sure they never lose."

"Yeah, I've never heard of a broke bookie, have you?"

"Nope."

My friend's trick represents what I believe is the truth of the Universe - there is only One appearing as the many. That One is my True Self. The trick is to remember that life is a game of solitaire with only one player. However, it's very easy to get duped by appearances and believe that there are infinite players when in fact there is only ONE.

No matter how things appear, they are all me. Thus, my thoughts are me, my feelings are me, my body is me, this computer is me, the keyboard is me, the table is me, the chair is me, the clothes I have on are me, this story is me, the Internet is me, this blog is me, the building I'm in is me, my loved ones are me, my friends are me, everyone on earth is me, the weather is me, all birds and animals are me, nature is me, all beings are me, all forms are me, the universe is me... it is all me.

Since the universe is me, then I get to direct the all of me my way. All I have to do is simply experience life with the awareness that "only ONE exists" and observe as life unfolds accordingly, which can seem magical to the unsuspecting eye. For those who are wondering how I can eat toilet paper without having a reaction, it's because I know the toilet paper is me. How can I have a reaction to something that is me?

Just because I can see the game of life for what it is doesn't mean others can too. As long as there are people who don't realise they are that which they are seeking, resisting or fighting, the game continues. Only when everyone becomes aware of the truth of the game is the game over. Similarly, when I saw my friend's trick for what it was, it was over.

Before my friend and I parted company he promised to show me another trick. "This trick involves mind over matter," he grinned.

"I can't wait," I said.

Only ONE exists.

Life Imitates Art; Art Imitates Life

2008-11-12T16:04:00.005Z

In What Batman Did Next, I wrote about how I had seen some guys dressed up in Batman costumes. I've just read an article which states that apparently, the Mayor of a certain city that shares a similar name as the eponymous hero is suing a Hollywood film studio.

I'm not mentioning any names though as I don't want to encourage more people suing one another.

It's interesting how life imitates art, or is it art imitating life? What difference does it make? Life and art are both dreams anyway.

Letting Go of Dead Leaves

2008-11-12T13:34:00.004Z

The other day while I was waiting for my bus, my attention was drawn to some trees opposite that were dropping their leaves. I observed how the trees didn't resist when the breeze was blowing through them. They just let go and let the breeze play its part in helping the leaves fall effortlessly.

Change is rather like dead leaves on a tree. In order for the new to come in, it's important to let go of the old.

I let the dead leaves fall and let the new in.

The Power of Admiration

2008-11-12T11:06:00.009Z

While I was waiting at the bus stop, I noticed a guy standing in front of me. I really liked the style of his coat. I was going to tell him so but he moved away, presumably to catch one of the buses that had arrived. When my bus arrived, I went upstairs to sit down. I was going to sit in front but I noticed the last window seat available at the back so I went for it.

During the bus journey I noticed this man in front of me was wearing some unusual earrings. I then went back to watching the world go by. When the man in front got up to leave I realised he was the same man whose coat I had been admiring earlier.

It doesn't surprise me really that I had been drawn to sit behind the guy whose coat I had admired because I have observed that I tend to attract to me what I admire; and I tend to be drawn to people who admire me.

What I love, loves me back.

What Do I Believe?

A reminder about what I believe:

I believe there is only the One that is infinite love, power and wisdom
I believe the One is appearing as my thoughts, feelings and all that I am being.
I believe the One quickens my body, moves me, inspires me, nourishes me, and is my constant supply.
I believe the One appearing as me is appearing as the all in all time, space and realities.
I believe the One is constantly working and never stops working.
I believe the One is my True Self.
I believe with the One nothing is impossible; and all things are possible
I believe in the One. My Personal Creed

In the Mode for Love

2008-11-11T15:53:00.004Z

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 1 Corinthians 13: 8-9

I've observed many people who operate in different modes such as: work, family, personal development, spiritual, leisure, etc. Each time they want to have an experience, they switch into the equivalent mode which influences their behaviour. For instance, I once went out with this guy who used to find it difficult to relax when he was in his office clothes because he felt he was still at work. Only when he'd changed into casuals could he relax and be open to have fun.

When I woke up to my True Self, all the different modes became one. Now the True Self dominates everything I do. In other words, Love is active in every single moment.

I am always in the mode for Love.

Work Ethic

2008-11-11T14:17:00.018Z

While a friend and I were arranging to meet up, he suggested a particular time as he had some work to do. I'm reminded of a conversation I had with another friend recently about work. I told her I have a very strong work ethic. I am always working. By work, I mean actively being and expressing the Love of my True Self.

In my line of work, there is no time off for: sickness, annual leave, bank holidays or celebrations. There is no time off to enjoy the fruits of my labour; there is no time off for retirement. It's work, work, work every single moment of every single day.

Whether I'm sleeping, eating, writing, doing household chores, relaxing at home, hanging out with a friend, reading a book, watching television, listening to music, admiring works of art, surfing the Internet, corresponding by email, travelling on a bus, going for a walk, playing, taking a shower, using the toilet, meditating...no matter whatever I get up to, I'm always working.

I'm always expressing who I am no matter how I'm feeling.

I'm always expressing myself no matter what's going on in the world.

For instance, when I was in the library writing, I heard an alarm go off. When my time was running out on the computer I went to extend my time and saw everyone was standing still. What's going on? It was then I realised people had stopped to observe the two minutes of silence to remember those who had died during the world wars. I was so preoccupied with work I didn't even remember it was 11 November - Remembrance Day. See what I mean about always working?

In my writings, which I see as my life's work, I am sharing the wonder and magic of being the Love that I am.

As long as I'm in this human form I'll be working. No matter what form I take I'm always working.

There's no rest for the wicked; it's work, work, work all the way.

I love working!

Much Ado about Nothing

2008-11-11T13:45:00.007Z

On my way home yesterday evening, I caught a bus which I expected to terminate at the bus station but the bus driver had other ideas - he decided to terminate about 5 minutes walk away from the station. As I was getting off with the other passengers I noticed a woman asking the driver why he hadn't gone all the way to the station as expected. I didn't stop to hear the driver's response if he had any. I've had that experience before and have asked the driver the same question but it was a fruitless exercise. I've come to realise asking a bus driver why he does what he does is the equivalent of tripping on the pavement and asking the pavement why it had let me trip. It's pointless! I find it's best to just keep on walking.

At the bus station I noticed they'd moved the stop elsewhere. Oh well, who am I to question the Powers that Be of London Buses? I found the new stop and got on the bus in front. After a few minutes I heard the bus controller making an announcement for the bus in front, our bus, to leave, but our driver wasn't on board. He must have either popped out for a fag (cigarette) or to use the toilet. After a few minutes the controller made another announcement as follows: "Driver of the no. 73, you can now leave in your own time." Several of us on the bus burst out laughing. I don't think the driver was amused though.

As I was getting off the bus this morning to wait for my next bus, I heard the driver announcing he was terminating at that stop. I could see from the frustrated expression on some of the passengers' faces that they had not expected this to happen. Some passengers waiting at the bus stop who hadn't twigged the bus was terminating there, stood outside the front doors. One passenger got so impatient with the driver for not opening the front doors, she tried to get in through the back doors. It was then I told her that the bus was terminating there.

In the meantime, I noticed a passenger having a heated discussion with the driver. He was pointing out to the driver that he should have given passengers advance warning that he was changing the destination. I've had a similar experience where I've argued with a bus driver about changing the destination and not notifying us passengers. While I got no joy from the driver, I did get an article from the experience, which demonstrates my belief: when one door shuts another one always opens.

Back to my story. When the bus driver opened the front doors, two passengers got on board. The driver said to them "Where are you two going? I said the bus terminates here!" A few of us were killing ourselves laughing.

Then events took an interesting twist because the passenger who had been complaining about the driver terminating the bus early told the driver he was going to stay put and insisted the driver take him to his destination. The bus driver closed both doors and drove off with the irate passenger inside. By then, several of us were howling with laughter.

"That passenger is a man with principle," I said to the passenger beside me. "His principle might be taking him in the opposite direction, but at least he's sticking to his guns."

There's a lot of entertainment to be had on London buses.

My Eating Habits

2008-11-10T14:36:00.016Z

I don't see any food as good or bad, I just go with what I'm feeling at the time. If something appeals to me, I'll have it; if it doesn't I won't.

I don't like pork but I don't mind pork as sausages or Salami.

I don't like avocado but I don't mind avocado as guacamole.

I don't like pomegranates but I quite like pomegranate juice.

Most people don't see toilet paper as food but it is to me.

Yesterday my mother prepared some stew with steak and kidney. Although I'm not crazy about steak or red meat, I was curious to try some stew with the steak. After a few mouthfuls, I'd had enough. I ate the rice with the stew and gave my mother the remainder of the steak. I might have some stew later without the steak or kidneys.

Interestingly enough, my mother cooked some stew with meat balls recently and I loved it. I thought it was delicious.

My older brother doesn't like fruits, which make him sick, yet he can drink fruit juices.

I'm very much aware that my likes, dislikes, and preferences are dreams that I'm making up to suit my changing moods. Underneath it all is the substance - Light - that which never changes and is very good.

At least this means I'm very flexible when someone invites me to dinner.

How Dare They!

2008-11-10T13:00:00.004Z

The problem, I find, with realising there is only ONE - Infinite Love, Power and Wisdom - experiencing life in all realities is that it can be way too much joy involved.

For instance, during my bus journey, I was aware of a man sitting behind me. At one stop another man got on who turned out to be his friend, and they sat together. The first guy said he was travelling on the bus because he had a puncture on his bicycle. He said it's just as well as doesn't like cycling when it's raining. I was so happy that the two friends were having that opportunity to link up.

I closed my eyes and listened to their conversation. I could feel their joy and friendship as my own and I felt so happy.

My friends talked about what they'd got up to at the weekend. Then one reminded the other about a project and how he was going to phone him later. One said he has a job interview tomorrow. In thought I wished him well.

Both of them got off at the same stop. They looked so sweet together.

How dare those two guys ruin my day by sitting behind me and sharing their joy. How dare they!

Song of the Day - 7

2008-11-09T13:40:00.000Z

This is beautiful song by Mariah Carey. It's called "Hero." Love it.

Hero

Thank you Mariah.

Enocia

Hero - Mariah Carey

There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

It's a long road when you face the world alone;
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.
You can find love if you search within your self
and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

oh....Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Just Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
that a hero lies in ... you
mmmm that a hero lies in.....you. Lyrics

It's about How I Feel about It

2008-11-08T12:14:00.031Z

While my friend and I were drinking in the pub, I noticed they were playing an album over and over again. I wished they would change it for something else. They did and one song that came on was one of my all time favourites: Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones. I told my friend how much I loved the song.

"It's a bit dark, innit?" he said.

"I love that it's dark!"

My friend has a point of course that the lyrics does seem quite dark. The song has even been associated with the Vietnam War and the film Full Metal Jacket, which is about the Vietnam war. How can I possible love a song with the lyrics:

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black Paint It Black

I don't see the song that way. At least, that's not the meaning I attribute to those lyrics. I love that it's dark. I love Mick Jagger's interpretation of that darkness. I love watching Mick Jagger performing that song. I love the instrumental part of it. I just love everything about that song. It's interesting that the song was recorded in 1966, the year of my birth. Maybe, that's why I love it so much or at least that's how I like to paint it..

Later after seeing my friend, I couldn't go to sleep. I sensed this intensity of feeling that I sometimes feel when I know someone is thinking about me or praying on my behalf. I had a feeling the friend I'd been with earlier was thinking of me. Paradoxically, there was no thinking involved, it was just a feeling of being wrapped up in a blanket of good feelings. It felt lovely. For hours I lay awake basking in that wonderful feeling which felt so good that I wanted it to last forever.

The next day I emailed my friend and told him how I couldn't sleep the night before and wondered if he'd been thinking of me. He said he couldn't sleep either and had been thinking of me. In energetic terms, my friend's thoughts were more Sacral chakra orientated than Heart or Crown. Boys will be boys!

It's not about the thought or experience but how I feel about it.

I'm feeling good.

What Batman Did Next

2008-11-08T10:58:00.007Z

As I was walking to the library this morning, I noticed lots of people hanging out in anticipation of the Lord Mayor's Show.

"Over 6100 people are going to take part in the 2008 Lord Mayor's Show, including 2000 servicemen and women, 220 vehicles, 71 floats, 13 marching bands, 21 carriages including the glorious State Coach and of course the giant figures of the City's guardians Gog and Magog. The procession is 3 miles long but fits into a route of only 1.7 miles: if you want to find out how that works, you'll have to come and see!" The Lord Mayor's Procession

Just I was about to cross the road I noticed a band approaching which consisted of around 20 or so middle-aged men all dressedup as the cape crusader, Batman. It was hilarious. I had to wait till they marched by before we could cross over.

So that's what Batman did next after he and his partner, Robin, retired from crime-fighting. He sold his batmobile on eBay and used the money to set up a band with some of his hardcore followers.

It's all happening in the Gotham City of London.

Nothing Cannot Attract Something

2008-11-07T13:41:00.022Z

Just over a month ago while I was out, a man passing himself off as some kind of drainage inspector managed to talk himself into the flat and stole my mother's purse. After the incident, my brother arranged to have a CCTV fitted outside.

A few days ago someone turned up in the evening claiming he was an inspector from the Gas company and wanted to be let in. My mother told him to call round the next day. She believed he was either the same bogus inspector or one of his friends.

After the burglary had occurred, I decided to see the experience from the perspective of Love i.e. since Love is all there is, then that which is playing the role of the "burglar" is Love's offspring. Love is never in lack. Only when you forget who you are do you find the need to "steal" from another. How come the "burglar" returned. Well, the CCTV my brother had had installed is encouraging us to be both vigilant of burglars and to prevent burglary. Therefore, as long as there is a constant reminder of "burglars" around us, you're still encouraging that reality to take place.

I believe one way to prevent what one doesn't want to experience from occurring is to nullify it from one's consciousness and acting accordingly. In other words, see it as a nothing and having no reality, meaning, or power. When that reality no longer exists in your consciousness, the inner, then there will no longer be an effect in the outer.

What about the CCTV, surely that is a constant reminder about how we need protection? Instead of seeing the CCTV a way to be vigilant of crime, I prefer to give it a new meaning - a way to connect with others, rather like a television or the Internet.

Nothing cannot attract something unless I am dreaming otherwise.

Enocia

ps: Not long after writing this piece, the CCTV stopped working. The guy who fitted it believed there was a technical glitch. I believe it stopped working because it was no longer needed.

The Music Producer

2008-11-07T12:28:00.004Z

My friend invited me to his studio where he works as a music producer. It was the first time I'd been to a music studio before. I thought it was a lovely space to work in. He told me how much he loves working behind the scenes. He hopes to work with more talented artists in the future. I have every faith that he will.

He showed me how he's programmed the keyboard with various sounds linked to a computer; and how to raise or lower the sound's frequency. He also explained how the wall padding affect the sound.

I could very much relate to frequencies. I believe life is experienced as different frequencies. For instance, when I'm in the frequency of gratitude i.e. feeling gratitude for all, I end up attracting experiences that resonate with gratitude. In other words, they make me feel even more gratitude and it snowballs from there. Ditto joy, peace, love, etc.

My friend played a few tracks he's working on: some with a vocalist and others that were simply backing tracks that need fleshing out by a vocalist or rapper.

My friend's job as producer reminds me of the ONE Power and Intelligence, the Cosmic Producer behind this show that we call life. Just like my friend has got backing tracks ready for the appropriate vocalists, I believe the ONE has already got realities in place that unfold through willing instruments.

I believe there is only ONE in this game called life. Therefore, that which is playing the role of the music producer is also playing the role of the music, vocalists, the studio, the music business and the audience.

Thank you, friend, for sharing what you love doing and for giving me an insight into another aspect of the ONE.

Nice Trip Down Memory Lane

2008-11-07T10:37:00.007Z

I met an ex-boyfriend yesterday whom I haven't seen in about 8 years.

Even though lots of stuff have happened in our life experiences, underneath he hasn't changed at all. He's still got the same sense of humour and easy to be with. I also love his passion for music and being true to himself. He actually inspired me to believe in myself.

When my friend took me to his music studio, I was delighted to see part of the wall was painted purple - my favourite colour. His keyboard had the number 88; I have a thing about the number 8.

The funny thing is I'm constantly travelling on a bus near where he lives, and yet I've never seen him. I guess both of us needed the space to experience who we are without distractions.

Thanks for a lovely afternoon and evening. It was a joy being with you.

I love you and I know everything is working out for the best.

My Invisible Friend

2008-11-05T14:41:00.003Z

Last night as I was doing the washing up, I was aware of this Presence behind me. I felt the Presence taking over and doing the washing. I was very aware of the presence with me when I was watching television and even while I was having a shower. I didn't mind the Presence seeing me naked at all. The Presence told me how beautiful I am.

After I'd had a shower and I was getting ready for bed my mother asked me if I'd put on some makeup. I said I'd just had a shower and washed my face. She said I looked beautiful.

Well the Presence did say I was beautiful.

When I went to bed, the Presence was right there with me.

I can feel you right here with me as I'm typing this piece. Thanks for keeping me company.

I love you.

What President Obama Means for Me

2008-11-05T10:23:00.022Z

"The more things change the more they stay the same." Quark

Times, they are changing. Today America voted its first black American president.

I see Obama's election from two perspectives, however: from the dream and from Reality.

What do I mean by the dream? I believe all forms and ideas are inherently empty i.e. they are free of concepts, beliefs and meanings. For instance if I hear a dog barking, I can either hear it as a dog barking, or I can make up reasons why the dog is barking. I experience that meaning in my own consciousness. Life is what I believe it means for me. In other words, I'm constantly making things up as I go along and joining with like-minds who share my meanings. When I'm making things out of nothing, I am dreaming.

Reality is the emptiness, the light of pure awareness that is free from dogma, beliefs and concepts. This Light interpenetrates all dreams. Light is actually my True Self.

Back to the Obama victory, I see people collectively dreaming they need a change from the old "order" and dreaming up a figurehead who will bring the new order into manifestation.

There are dreamers who see President Obama as an opportunity to empower, inspire and uplift those who are dreaming themselves marginalised, oppressed, and dispossessed. Speaking of which, in the television news this morning, the dream newsreader spoke about how electing Obama had wiped out a cardinal sin. She said that when Thomas Jefferson wrote:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..." Thomas Jefferson on Politics & Government

...Jefferson had slaves at the time. The newsreader believed Obama's victory is not only a realisation of Jefferson's dream of equality, but an opportunity to forgive all those hurts in the American dream.

There are dreamers who see President Obama as a symbol of unity, uniting all Americans regardless of colour or creed. As I was walking to the bus stop this morning and pondering on the election results, I noticed a white guy approaching. He smiled and said good morning. I responded in kind. As he was walking away he said, "Obama, huh?"

I turned round and said, "Yeah, right."

There was nothing else to be said because at that moment we were both sharing the same dream.

I have my own personal dream, a fascination with the number 8 and numbers adding to 8, which I believe is a magic number. It's interesting how Obama was elected in 2008 and he's the 44th president. 4 + 4 = 8. That has to mean something, surely?

Back in the Real World of Light, it's business as usual. Light remains constant. Nothing really changes.

So what does President Obama mean for me?

Well, it all depends on whether I'm dreaming or awake in Reality.

As I see it, Love-Light is all there is no matter who the leaders are or what I'm dreaming.
