LETTING GO

LET GO OF THE CONTROL

YOU MISTAKENLY THINK YOU HAVE

OVER THE UNIVERSE. . . .

NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED


Adventuring within oneself
is not for the faint hearted
There are many times you’ll wish
that you never even started.

Many shall start and few shall finish
The crowd thins out
The lower self pull is too strong
Drenched with fear and doubt

But for those with strong endurance
and strong constitution
to do the journey within the journey
thrusts you toward your evolution.

To undertake the journey of self cleansing
Digging deep into the shadows and pits
is not the fluffy clouds and rainbows
that surface spirituality predicts

There was no map
no tourist information
yet I jumped right in
with no hesitation.

The world within would encourage me
when I screamed to jump off the train
They showed me the rewards I’d reap
by transmuting all my pain.

Confronting all the demons
Shining a torch in their face
as the terror shakes your foundations
and you think you’re out of the race.

As much as you put in you’ll get back
Though you won’t see much change for a while
Which brings up even more fear
for you to reconcile.

The time is now upon me
where the rewards are gushing through
Openly displayed and tangible
A treasured dream come true.

I’ll now go back and sign post
all the tricky bends in the road
for other courageous travellers
to help lighten their heavy load.

The Struggle for Balance.

I found a little card that was stuck at back of one of my drawers, and as I pulled it out I knew exactly what it was about. This tiny little cared says:

THE SEEKER
In the midst of his Magic Cosmos
the Magician struggles for Balance.

The struggle for Balance is a constant in our lives no matter how “Enlightened” we think we may have become. There is great struggle and effort to use what we do to apply ourselves to consciously make correct choices for ourselves. The choices to be made will always be that of the Truth, as we struggle between those and the choices that our mind and its fears dictate to us to choose. The struggle for Balance.
The struggle for calm, assertive, confidence amidst all the noise and commotion that our minds continually scream out at us.
The struggle for Balance.
The struggle to find our Centre – and STAY there. For it is only when we are in our center and balanced, can we only ever make the correct choices for ourselves in any given moment about any given thing and experience.
All our Answers and access to the words of Truth live here in our Centre.
The Balanced Position is so extremely Powerful due to its incredible delicate nature.
The Balanced Position is a space of: warmth, of a soft gentleness, of Trust, of Letting Go of pre conceived ideas & outcomes. We then enter ourselves into a space that is a likened to more of a physical sensation description – where we suddenly feel like we’ve become a blown bubble that never pops on anything as it floats, sweeps and giggles along as it lightly wraps around another object in its way. In this BALANCED BUBBLE of BEINGNESS we find ourselves in, all and everything that we begin to touch along the way tickles us with Joy and Delight.
The Magic of this “BALANCED BUBBLE of BEINGNESS” stems from, is generated from and created from our own levels of Trust, Faith & Belief.
The effort with which we apply ourselves to Trust, have Faith and to Belief, will be the very Power Source that generates and sustains our safe
“BALANCED BUBBLE of BEINGNESS”.

We have the control of our Bubble. We always have had. WE are responsible for the state of health our Bubble is in at any given moment.
We Learn over time what choices weaken our Bubble. Over time of Living and Learning, we actually DO eventually Grow you know! And you realize also that we just keep on Growing and Growing and Growing some more and more and then always more. . .

The more I consciously cultivate my BALANCED BUBBLE of BEINGNESS, the more it becomes second nature and a continuous experience. It does so because I am more and more in the space where I have access to the Truth so I can then make correct choices for myself in every given moment on every given thing and for whatever given reasons.

Continue to be conscious of choosing correctly. We can find ourselves becoming complacent when it comes to putting in the effort to maintain our
BALANCED BUBBLE of BEINGNESS.
The great part about all this, is that you WILL know when you have not been maintaining your Balance. It will be obvious. Your outside world cracks and splits accordingly to the rigidness level of your Balanced Bubble.
Rigid bubbles don’t tickle, float or make us feel good. Rigid bubbles collide and bang into objects and always there is pain of some sort involved. So when we experience our outside worlds as “issues, dilemmas, dramas, discomfort and pain”, then we are obviously Rigid. Find out WHY we are Rigid and begin to expand ourselves and our flexibility once again so as to strengthen and empower our BALANCED BUBBLE of BEINGNESS to ensure that we eventually and effortlessly enjoy the ride and the Journey.

Whilst it’s tempting to get carried away and succumbed into the hypnotic dance of our Magic, we must choose to stay conscious. Choose to consciously feel and experience your Magic, yet not allowing yourself to ‘fall’ into it. For it is always ever changing, growing and moving forward – just like you and me – Flexible.

So amidst the loud inviting carnival atmosphere of our Magic, let this not blind us. We must always and at all times have ourselves alert, listening and ready to act upon our Truth instantaneously as it is given to us.

THE STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN OUR CLARITY OF THE TRUTH AT ALL TIMES = “THE MAGICIAN STRUGGLES FOR BALANCE”.

WELCOME TO THE WAY OUT BOOK

YOU FOUND IT!
YOU FOUND THE WAY OUT.





“The mechanisms for unravelling ourselves are all the same, though our knots be tied differently”.


BEING SPIRITUAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING HOLY - IT’S ABOUT BECOMING WHOLE.


PHILOSOPHER ALAN WATTS has said:

“The disciples and followers of the great Spiritual Teachers didn’t want to LIVE the teachings, so they created religions based on worshipping the Persona of the Teacher.”

Life is not a free lunch.

We must learn to navigate ourselves through the tumultuous waters, and not just get tossed and thrown around like victims by the whim of the ever-changing seas or so- called random events that will slam us sideways.


NAVIGATION then is EVERYTHING.


It’s through the focus of correct navigation that we are then actually GIVEN our FREE packed lunch.

But again, it’s NOT really ‘free’ is it, because we have actually put the effort in and worked hard to EARN it.

At a tender young age, I ‘knew’ that there was something about me that just wasn’t right. I was wounded on the inside.

Life was scary. It seemed like there was this secret book on ‘How to Live Life’, and that everyone else had a copy of it but me. So I had to ‘wing’ it, and pretend that I knew.

Of course there was no secret book of life, and I realized that everyone else was just a “Walking Wounded” winging it too!

But oh, if there WAS such a book, THIS book would be the one that would come closest to it.

I’ve lived and I’ve learned and I’ve discovered many things both inside and out.

Yet it’s the discoveries we have on the ‘inside’ that unfold into our ‘outside’.

The discovery of the ‘feel good’ place. The discovery that only things born of pure creativity will ever resonate with that ‘feel good’ part in us. It’s in our middle.

It’s when one of our senses makes us go “Aah!” This makes us feel good. Our psyche goes through incredible change when we hit that ‘feel good’ space.

WE begin to feel good. When WE begin to feel good, we make better choices for ourselves and then our whole world begins to feel good.

During this time in our Earth’s history, there have never been so many people on a search for answers and desiring to understand themselves and their fellow humans who inhabit this Big Blue Tumbling Ball.

Old beliefs are being blown out of the water as more and more of them are proven incorrect and untrue. Whoa! These beliefs that have been ingrained in us are now obviously obsolete. For those who have never taken the time to contemplate life, well, the time is now upon you. For all those who have, you will be experiencing huge shifts in your life. Each belief is challenged and we are made to be consciously aware of our responsibility to choose correctly, accept and flow with change.

For the past 16 solid years, I have been on my total focus of Self Discovery to find out ‘who’ I am, and just ‘who’ is the real me. The 12 years prior were spent exploring the New Age Movement and being dazzled and dazed by fancy tricks, important sounding words, and always by the New Age Hierarchy of people who we all thought were ‘so advanced’ and ‘Enlightened’. The dated ‘Guru’ concept. The concept where we give our power away and over to someone or something outside of ourselves. Yes, I did find some aspects very interesting, and some more than others drew my attention. But as I grew within myself, around me the cracks were beginning to show, and I could then see quite clearly that all these people were, in reality, very miserable and unfulfilled. They denied and suppressed it underneath their ‘happy face’ and with lots of talk, talk, talking about this great idea called God, Spirituality and Life. Their teachings were empty. They had not experienced what it was that they were preaching about.

Towards the end, I saw some pretty crazy and desperate people. After all these years they found themselves still with nothing, no wild dreams come true and STILL with this ache in their hearts. This ache is a hole. In this hole is where our connection to our God should be. I began to see a lot of ANGRY so-called ‘Godly’ people. So, I bailed out. This way was obviously NOT working.

So I began my own Journey - A Journey with a
whole new perspective.

A Journey that was being guided by the Inside of me, and not by someone or something outside of myself. So I began to document my Journey. I did this for many reasons. It was my way of expressing my feelings. I also wanted to chart my process because no one I had heard of has ever done it quite this way before. To document and chart my experiences, feelings, revelations, inspirations and ultimately a documentation of an extremely Unique Process.

Over a period of time I was discovering that this process was actually working!

I was actually changing! So if something is working, then continue. So I would continue following the bouncing ball.

Over time, my connection to my Truth grew stronger and clearer. My writings of the lessons became fluent as I would describe the realizations and rewards I received AFTER each major inner battle I fought and won. But I fought it. I understood it. I conquered it. Then I’d wait for the next level and a deeper layer of the lesson to reveal itself. I’d clear that one, understand and then integrate it. And as the process continued, so my documenting continued. All the while suffering a lingering doubt that maybe I’d taken the wrong path? I had not passed another living soul on the trail since I began. . . Fear seeps in. Maybe it was NOT my Creator who has been guiding me and talking to me? Maybe it was some dark evil energy that had tricked me into wasting SO many years of my young life, and THIS was what I have been following? I held on harder to the Trust I had in my discoveries of the Truth, no matter how bizarre they seemed to me at the time. This battle of doubt and disbelief raged continually, exhaustingly and for many years. Then I Became it. It was now my experience.

I now understood. My fears dissipated rapidly. We only fear what we don’t understand. Ironically the word Enlightenment means, “to understand”. With great relief I found that I had been on the correct path to Enlightenment all along. Phew!

So my documentation suddenly became all very important now. These were now instructions and directions. I realized that now anyone could take the Journey if there were directions. And that if someone like me could discover this Journey and discipline myself to do it, then ANYONE CAN. It’s not rocket science. It just takes a LOT of effort, and most are not willing to do what it takes. If I could do this myself WITHOUT the map of what was coming next and also how to deal with it when it came, imagine what another might achieve WITH a Guide, WITH a map? If I could write that Guide and be the map for another courageous traveller, then this would most certainly speed up the process incredibly. This would mean that more and more people would faster and faster reach Enlightenment quicker than ever before. The more Aware and Enlightened people means a more Aware and Evolved society, creating a more Beautiful world to live in.

I am living proof that this new perspective and this Journey actually work. Please note that I am not implying that I now ‘know it all’ and that I have nothing more to learn. I am saying that this ‘works’ because I experience the changes and the growth that come as a result (reward) of my efforts put into the application of it. And this by the way, is what we do for the rest of our lives. Always desiring to be the best person we can be. We just get better at it. What you put in, you will get back.

With having so many people now turning to search with the desperate need for answers, I felt it time that I share the findings of my discoveries. I want to tell everyone that there IS another option, another perspective that if applied will eventually make you whole.

There IS a WAY OUT. “The Way Out Book’ was gathered from vast amounts of documentation all containing essential points of ‘understanding’. My mind boggled. I needed help selecting ‘what’ points were to be the foundations and therefore the first points to be shared. A friend of mine Peter (a psychologist) offered to have a read through and place the pieces in an order of flow that he felt helped the reader to best grasp and absorb this new perspective. For this I am truly Thankful!

The content of this first book “The Way Out Book” is more like an overview, an orientation of the landscape of this new perspective. (It’s not a ‘new’ perspective by the way. It’s more a guide to the application of it in our lives.) I have drawn the sketch of it, pulling forward key aspects to contemplate on. Nothing more. Each aspect contains incredible layers and levels of understandings. It’s Fascinating! But the experience is only possible by the application of them. So, I am in the process of writing Book 2. After having shown you the sketch here in this book, then Book 2 is where I will give you all the colours with which to paint it. The ‘whole’ picture. Book 2 will fill in the gaps. We can only paint the picture if we are given all the colours with which to paint it. Book 2 is something to look forward to!

I have chosen to GIVE “The Way Out Book” away, in the hope that as many people as possible have the opportunity to become aware of this new perspective, so that they may find it holds with-in it all the answers to all of their searchings.

I now invite you to read my book, to view your world from this new perspective.

Remember that if it doesn’t work for you, you can always go back to your old one. If you find that this Journey is too hard, put more effort in, stretch yourself! Give it your best shot. You will be surprised at the Magic that awaits you. You will be even more surprised that it was not as hard as you thought it was going to be.

I encourage you to explore. I encourage you to begin. All of your answers could lie here-in.
