Conventional wisdom suggests that even if you're not feeling so good, to push on through anyway. And there will be times when this is right. On other occasions however, it will be right to stop and honour the resistance. How do you know when to apply which approach? There will be a sense of rightness for the course of action. Usually it will confront an aspect of ego, inviting you to break through, which is then backed up by synchronicity. But we must be profoundly honest with our motivations. Is there something that you're trying to get from the moment?

Even if someone clearly is wrong, it is wise to not make them wrong. Everyone has a truth that's real to them. So in disagreements, it's always good to build bridges by first honouring the other's truth, no matter how distorted. Work to build a bridge by empathising with at least some aspect of what they're saying - even and especially when they're young and not yet emotionally mature. Begin by supporting and upholding their truth. I've found it's then much more likely they'll embrace aspects of your point of view. I call it building bridges.

There will come times when you do not know which way to turn... does the path go this way or that? Sometimes it may seem like an impossible choice to make. If this happens, you're being tested at the deepest levels of being in the moment. What's required of you right now? On this step? In this breath? Make the movement, always sure that you're being true to your authentic beingness. Bit by bit the situation is sure to shift, the clouds will dissipate and the right path reveal itself.

You have to find the balance between commitment to a cause and efforting to make it happen. This is not an easy thing to do! Giving up commitment is not the answer; neither is doing nothing. That's just throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You have to let yourself be 'all-in' to the creative process, yet watch where your consciousness tightens around the creation too much. This is where 'blind-spots' appear - you're so focused you miss the bigger picture. Commit yes, but watch the periphery of your creations.

Peace is a paradoxical issue. Personally I find it doesn't come by aiming for it, at least no really deep true peace. It comes by being in the flow and listening to the soul - aligning with the inner movement of consciousness, knowing that you're always doing the right thing as an expression of authentic being. Then alignment with the soul carries you all the way back to the source, which is infinite peace, even, and especially, in the movement.

Most people in society believe they're making free choices, day in, day out. But really, it's mostly conditioning and addiction that's driving the 'choice'; in which case, it's no choice at all. I believe there's one truly authentic choice that we can ever make: to be aligned with the flow of the divine or not. If we are, what we're really aligning with, is an expression of beingness, upon which, the path naturally unfolds by itself. The choices become so obvious as to render them not choices at all. Just a path of light - a path of 'rightness'.

In working with Higher and Lower mind, the greatest challenge is knowing the difference between the two. Higher mind lands as a flash, "this is the way to go now". Lower is much slower and deliberating - the risk being that it controls the flow, making decisions that don't serve your true self. The key is to keep letting go to the spontaneous knowing. Let higher mind decide what to do; let lower mind decide how to do it - but definitely not what to do!

Whatever you have a passion for, begin it now, where you are. Don’t wait for the “right resources”, the right circumstances or for the “timing to be right”. Authentic manifestation follows passionate expression. The universe always, but always, creates a vehicle around authentic, creative expression. So if you feel it in your heart, take a step, begin it now!

What is more valuable to you? To achieve and acquire things, to struggle for an outcome? And what do we ultimately achieve? A sense of satisfaction and completeness that is already in us! You can decide to be free, right now. You can decide to confront all the hooks that ensnare you in the drama. Coming home to this is the ultimate joy. And it is from where all truth in your life flows. You can do it. Just decide. Right now. Let go of everything - of the need for any outcome. Work at it, deep inside, and you'll do it. You come home to YOU!

How often do you hear about the need to "control your thoughts" on the evolutionary path? I observe there's a big problem with this. It really is all about the energy - about consciousness. Trying to manipulate thoughts and behaviours is only partially affective unless we feel into why they were misaligned in the first place. Or else it's just a case of the tail trying to wag the dog. So if you find yourself having misplaced thoughts, ask why? What do I need to work with and let go internally? What am I being invited to accept?

The universe is driven by balanced flows of energy - so much in, so much out. To align with this, is to give of yourself as much as your soul wishes to receive. Inequity warps spacetime around it, to ultimately unravel it. That's why when I hear the richest 62 people in the world - enough to fit on one coach - own as much wealth as the poorest 3.2 Billion, I just know in my heart an unstoppable force is building in the field to realign it. What can evolving people do? Witness. Observe. Feel. Let your expanded consciousness well up and ripple out into the world.

What is full awakening as a human being? There are all manner of internal energy flows that can be activated, which most are unaware of. The challenge is the level of distraction out there in society. It's vital to be monitoring one's energy flows - in relation to the external drama - all the time. It takes skill and practice, yes. But with commitment and attention, slowly but surely, you get to know the flows - what's happening under certain situations?
