we are taught in the christian religion that god created everything. o.k. that is an explaination of who. what about why, how, out of what, etc. in all the time i went to school and listened to the religious discussions i accepted, for the conversation, that god created everything, but never did my teachers go into why, how, out of what, etc.
lets say, for a moment, for the purposes of this conversation, that i am god. why do i need to create people? am i bored? do i need worshippers? am i some sort of artist with ideas about societies and the type of species that will exist?
o.k. so i`m now god and i made the world. the mind boggles to try to make sense of all the stuff that goes on here. dirt is dirty, water is wet, the sun is hot and everything can kill you if you aren`t paying attention all the time. so i made this stuff just this way. i mustn`t like humans a lot. i must be like a kid blowing up frogs with firecrackers. that doesn` t make a lot of sense. on one hand i am an immesurably creative and capable person and on the other hand a cruel pervert wanting to kill in as many ways as i can think of full time.
but that`s what god has created. a very dangerous place to live. unless you`re a rock.
who would choose a dangerous place to live?
a person with no other choice.
this is where the christian view falls down for me. a god sitting on a marble chair in the sky that did all this wasn`t doing this for all the right reasons. to believe this was deliberate creates a self estimate in our species that is pretty limiting. hence all the wars, i suppose.
i think we are an animal with a spirit consciousness that is new to the earth-bound physical game. the challenges of survival in the state of the flesh is one of evolution, not of the physical but of the spirit. we exist here. we don`t know how or why or out of what, but it emerges, if we search and pay attention, that we create all that we percieve in a god-like way.
the only god-like action that i`ve ever witnessed is the action of all of us. i have to conclude that we are god.

negative to positive.
in order for us to move away from the negative it is not enough to choose to not be negative any longer. our society is on a curve of negativity borne of attachment to material gain. we all lie on a point on this curve and unless we allow the negativity to fall away by withdrawing from attachment to material things we will remain there. how do i do that in a material universe?, you might well ask. it is the most difficult task facing us in a material driven society. everywhere we turn the currency is possessions and money. we begin by realising that the goals we choose have to be spiritual. that is toward enlightenment. the careers we choose, the things we write and say, the way we communicate, all must contain the idea of non- attachment to the material.
as we practice this we slowly but inevitably sink down the curve of negativity. the negative then has less meaning in our lives. less anger, less hostility,agression, winning, beating, competing. more space comes into our lives for compassion and understanding, creativity, love and peace. our meditation will deepen and open up and eventually we will begin to rise up the curve of the positive in the universe.
the positive will come into our lives. things will be more authentic. we will be more authentic and assertive in our goals and direction. opportunity and attainment will come. we will feed, clothe and shelter ourselves well as a result. this isn`t poverty, this is real wealth, not only of money and things, but of spirit.
chasing the material out of desperation will make it a struggle. doing life out of love and a practice of devotion to spiritiual truth of meditation and non-attachment will open up the potential for all things.

sending messages back in time.
as your meditation practice develops there are things that you can apply your mind to. our mind creates our reality. this become apparent to those on the path to enlightenment in many ways. one way we can recognise our connectedness to everything is by realising that we can send messages back in time. time has been constructed semantically as a direct correlate of space. it becomes space/time in quantum mechanics. time needs space to function. time is consciousness moving through space and vis-versa. it could be suggested that consciousness it`s self needs space/time to exist. any more of that line of reasoning and we could get headache! the point is that thoughts exist in space/time and we generate them as seperate realities, each thought sending a new "us" off into a new universe driven by decision. a new space, if you will. this new space is made of information. it can be coded any way we want. we are doing it right now.
so let`s set up a transmitter universe now. and now set up a reciever universe. these two universes exist in seperate semantic universes intent on communicating with each other because you have decided they will.
the transmitter universe is set up first. we meditate on building a transmitter from a certain calender date. today will do. choose to send important information to the reciever universe back one week in time. any information you want to.
then you begin to meditate on setting up a reciever universe in your mind to recieve the information from your future.
as you do this practice you may feel the activation of certain areas of the brain that are unfamiliar to you at this point. blood flow and pressure is gently adjusting to do the extra work necessary to build this new semantic map of reality. just know it`s happening and welcome it`s abundance now.
it is important to do five minutes meditation, first on sending, then on recieving, each day until you see information coming into the recieving meditation that can only be from your future.
it is important that when transmitting that you focus on sending present information back in time one week. this may seem awkward at first, but as you become comfortable you will notice results appearing.

predicting the future.
we see time in our minds as a flow, from right to left, left to right or back to front. a line of times running from way in the past from the depths of memory and forward into an imgined future. this timeline is laid out this way as our concepts of space allow. the philosopher p.d. ouspensky suggested that as ideas about space change then so will our ideas about time. the quantum mechanical model of the universe binds space/time together as one thing. these are constructs of semantics, a universe built on words, very powerful things.
when we think about things that happen in the past, in our mind`s eye, they are framed in one area in the mind. as the images progress in time in our mind, the image frame moves over, and as our thoughts move onto the future the frame is in a completely different location. the differences in the position of these frames is known as the time line. people`s timelines travel in different directions. left to right, right to left and back to front right through the head, as it were. people`s trajectories vary, but the concept is the same.
in the first frame we see things that we know with certainty that happened in the past, in the middle frame we see things that are happening now, and in the final frame we can imagine things occuring in the future.
here comes the predictive aspect and practice.
build up past frames of information and occurances the you know have happened. then build up a frame of things that are happening now. now, in the final frame see a glass of water either full of liquid or empty, representing a good or a bad outcome for whatever it is the you are predicting.
you can use this to see future winners of sports games, stock prices, business ventures or anything that has a flow from past to present and be able to test the accuracy of your predictions with facts as they occur.
this practice is something that takes time to develop, but with time, some astonishing results can be attained. the rule is slow and patient with the practice of visualisation. seeing the past and present images strongly and firmly then switching to the future with the glass full or empty providing the answer.

why can`t we change?
the good news is that we can change. we have the ability and the methods installed from birth. the noise of our lives has created a state of confusion that has made it difficult to focus on the things necessary to change. learning to focus is the key to doing anything we choose to do. there are games played by psychiatry and the education industry and even religion that further cloud the issue of focussing our attention on the things we need to do in our lives.
our beliefs become molded by myths like a.d.d. and the necessity for a university education and the idea that there is a god seperate from us that is harsh and judgemental but if we do exactly what we`re told we get to go to heaven.
it`s no wonder we are confused.
the simple act of quietly clearing your mind of pictures and words for a few minutes will allow you to be able to have a clean slate to be able to put pictures and voices in there that make you happy. this simple process will make you feel good and be able to open up a world of comfort that will spread into your experience in ways that only you can imagine for yourself.
i can`t tell you what is right for you. your dreams, aspirations and desires are personal to you and are a deeply intimate part of what drives your life forward. take a few moments to evaluate what is important to you and what you would like to accomplish if you knew you could. and then run them in your mind as if they were happening. in your mind`s eye. like sitting in a movie theater watching the screen in the dark room. hear the sights and sounds of yourself as the star of you life and let the movie play to the end, as many times as you need to be able to get the feelings of excitement associated with knowing it will happen to you.
these are the true words of jesus in the bible. he was giving the keys to the kingdom of heaven so that we can live our lives. he was standing on the shore of the sea, talking to friends. not in a church. his words work in your mind anywhere you need to be. they are your words. your mind. your life. pretty cool idea, huh?

a new model of reality.
we all have the ability to create a new model of reality. in fact if we aren`t doing so already we are living someone else`s now. it`s not important to know who`s reality we are living, but for the most it`s a mixture of parent`s, teacher`s, government, boss, etc, with some individual imput along the way.
those who do create thier own reality are the one`s living how we`d like to live, doing the things we`d like to do and having the results we`d like to attain. we can`t take over another person`s life like in the movie being john malkovich, and abduction and theft are crimes, so what do we do?
our whole life is made of the end result of planning. the things we see, feel ,hear, taste and smell drive our external world. they are the signals that we recieve from our environment that we react to, shaping our reality.
we store these sensations as memories and then feed them back to ourselves, in our mind throughout the day. we colour these memories emotionally to fit our ideas about the way things should be. these pre-suppositions are biases that we accumilate in our travels that are filters on objective reality.
these pre-suppositions are the fences we put around our spiritual property. they make our live`s what they are.
for the inquirer into the realm of meditation and spiritual developement the internal sensations are the key. when you meditate or pray images form in your mind and they take on the form of memories or situations that could happen in the future. these images are made of the same stuff that our external reality is made of. sights, sounds, feelings, tastes and sometimes smells. whereas the external reality is consistant and shared by everyone as it happens, your internal reality is plastic and is open to your ability to drive it any way you want.
the proof in this is easy. you are doing it already. just think back to a time when you made a firm decision in your mind about something and it happened precisely the way you planned. this was no accident. it began in your mind and you moved toward the image and it became real.
every spiritual teaching leads to this one thing. see it happen in your mind as if it happens with certainty and it will happen. it`s the one true thing.
it`s how precisely you see it, hear it, taste it, feel it and smell it that matters.
building a vocabulary of amplified sensory knowledge in your mind`s eye, as you meditate will focus your mind to making the events happen.
every building has it`s plans. from the simplest bungalow to the tallest skyskrapers. in minute detail. the minute detail of what you see happening in your meditations will begin to emerge into your life as you go.
i can`t prove that aspect. i know it works though, you have to do the visualisations to prove it to yourself.
try this. imagine an experience that you particularly enjoyed. see what you saw, hear and feel what you heard and felt. see the colours and shapes of things in your mind as you imagine the experience. make the colours brighter, turn the lighting up, draw the image closer and notice the feelings you get amplify. hear voices louder. smells and tastes more intense. these sub-modalities of the experience are the tools for making the feelings you get from the experience stronger. any time you want.
the visualisation doesn`t have to be real. it could be something you are preparing to do. see yourself performing the task perfectly, smiling, others smiling. see yourself taller, bigger and others reacting positively as you do what you planned to do and hear applause and cheering as you go....... this is your visualisation. notice how you react to the sights and sounds in the scene and choose more of the ones that get strong bodily reactions in your experience.
these strong positive feelings, the trills are the kinaesthetic anchors that you can fire off any time you want to in your day by doing the visualisation and amplifying the sub-modalities as you prepare to do the task that you visualised. try a fanfare of trumpets and then growl like a tiger and feel the feelings as you do this and smile knowing you you thrive on doing this stuff and will succeed.
i use this for puplic presentations to get in the right state to entertain, i use this for athletics, house work, writing and anything else that i can think of the just feel good for no reason. and live the life i want.

thoughts have energy.
thoughts have energy. a good example of this is in the way people respond to what you have to say. if you are reasonable and supportive in communication with others you will tend to find that others are the same way back. if you are harsh and critical you will find harshness and criticism coming back at you.
this is an example of resonance.
people and things tend to want to resonate with each other. if you take a tuning fork and hit it sharply it will ring at a specific pitch. if you place the ringing fork against a glass the glass will sing with the fork. the material of the glass will resonate with the moving frequency of the fork and make the air around it vibrate toward your ear. your ears then transduce the signal into audible information that your brain decodes for you to recognise as sound. a whole chain of systems resonate to bring the tone to your ear. tuning fork, glass, air, ear, brain, conscious recognition of sound. all resonating at the same frequency.
this works with thoughts too.
thoughts vibrate out into the universe and set up resonance with other like frequencies. these bodies begin to resonate and align to sing together and soon feed back to the transmitter. the transmitter is your consciousness. the feedback comes back in the form of all that is in your life now.
happy? continue doing what you are doing and you`ll get more of the same.
if not, begin to build models of what you want in your thoughts. open a movie screen in your mind`s eye and play out movies of pleasant, positive events that you want to attract. dare to do it consistantly and it will become a habit that will attract these new things into your life.
it`s happening now anyway. in exact resonance with what you have been saying and doing all your life.
and it`s true for everyone else in the world for as long as we`ve been in existance on th planet.

making and selling cigarettes is criminal.
making and selling cigarettes is criminal. if you or i were to manufacture a product containing over two hundred toxic chemicals we would be shut down immediately. if we were to make a product that was known to cause cancer in most organs of the human body we would be shut down immediately. if we were to deliver these products to the marketplace knowing that the majority of new users were underage, we would be open to the full penalty of the law.
the manufactures of cigarettes do all of the above with the full protection of the law.
the laws need to change.
will they?
the government has shown it`s blatant disregard for the health of the citizenry by encouraging the consumption of this lethal product and when pressed to limit the amount smoked, merely raised the tax per package, solving nothing.
if cigarettes are to be removed from culture permenantly the laws have to be changed.
the laws will change automatically when the cost to health care outwieghs the tax revenue. the government recently prolonged that process by significantly increasing the tax per pack and it is inevitable that they will do so in the future.
we all know people who`s lives have been shortened by smoking. thier health severely compromised, thier quality of life diminished and finally taken from them entirely.
it`s a crime.
in real terms it`s murder.
a conspiracy to commit murder.

the ability to change the world.
what are we supposed to do with the ability to change the world? i don`t think we can change the consensus world. what i believe we can change is the one filament of existance among many that is unique to the self. i think that there are exactly as many worlds as there are examples of consciousness existing in parallel. it`s the only way that i can support what i will say next. in my world, what i imagine comes to fruition. what happens in your reality is true and concrete for you…….even if i differs substantially from mine. my consciousness contains a version of you that responds to my world-view even though the same is true for you.for us now here on the planet there are approximately 6.5 billion streams of reality ripping through space/time carving out reality. each of our experiences is different for each of us in direct relationship to what we generate via focus and meditation. this all happens while we still all have a groundstate of shared reality to fall back on.two parallel realities. the collective and the individual.each individual is a copy of the original with re-write and editing functions enabled for those who know how.this is the gnosis that was esoteric enough to be kept for the initiated.you can choose to live the default reality as a passenger and take what comes, or get your spiritual sleeves rolled up and create a new world full of love and passion and discovery by opening up your third eye and looking through it onto a screen of new ideas and outcomes.

divinity and human experience.
the concept of divinity brings forward ideas of god in heaven and the process of the church in society. these are the natural effects of the meaning of the word divinity in society. divine means god. god means church and all that entails. we accept this meaning because it`s all that we have to go on. every time we have thoughts about the issue of spirit we think of church and religion. so religion satisfies our spiritual needs, right?
o.k. so there is some other thing going on then. something that`s not being satisified via religion that has something to do with the idea of spirituality and divinity.
the thing that`s not being satisfied is our own attachment to the divine. our own intuitive knowledge that there is something more than a concept of a seperate god in heaven and us all "down here" on earth until we die.
it reminds me of theories in physics that say things like "the universe was created in a big bang billions of years ago". o.k., from what? what was there beforehand?
we don`t get satisfactory answers. it`s o.k. not to know, but fudging answers with silliness makes one lose confidence in the process of inquiry.
back to the discussion of divinity.
we question the creation of our reality and all that is in front of us. some like to give a seperate god the credit, but any critical inquiry into the concept put forth fails to satisfy.
we stand witness to the miracle of everything around us every conscious moment. the common, obvious, consistant element in all of what we see is us. maybe we have something to do with the creation of this wonder. why do we have to give someone, or something else the credit.?
the search for the divine consumes spiritual endevours. the bhuddists sit for hours meditating, christians pray, muslims pray. nothing has changed in all of this. the grass is still green. sky is still blue and the water is still absolutely and perfectly wet.
hmm. what if we are the one`s doing this experience. what if we are the divine spirit.
want to find out for sure?
let`s say the word of god in the bible is the words of men on paper.
let`s say the world is created by what we decide in the morning and hold in our thoughts all day.
let`s say we develop a practice where we learn to hold these creative, loving thoughts in our minds all day.
let`s agree to do this for a period of time,say a month or so, and see what happens.
let`s play creator and choose loving, exciting, playful thoughts that have direct benifit now.
let`s find a quiet place where we can sit and imagine a screen in our mind where we can run a movie or slide show of all the things we want to have happen.
this takes some practice and discipline initially, but over time, the practice becomes habit and soon it becomes an automatic part of your day.
your movie becomes your life.
it has to because it already has, you just didn`t realise you were doing it. the fact still remains.
breathtaking.
the divinity is within. it was there all along.
jesus died for saying it.
all mention of his mystical teaching has been tranlslated out or removed entirely.
why? who is going to go to church and listen to the priest talk about his conversations with god if they understand how the whole thing works?
who`s going to go to bible"study" when they realise what has happened to the bible over the centuries?
who`s going to put coins on the collection plate given thier own spiritual practice of meditation and visualisation?
to be human is to be divine. it is our birthright.
claim it now.

thoughts on thoughts
what are thoughts? thoughts are images made up of sights, sounds, sastes, smells and feelings that come into our conciousness. the thoughts we have become our reality by how we react to them. if we forget about them they have little time to have an effect in our reality. if we hold the thought through focus or by actively reviewing the elements of the thought for a period of time the thought has more chance to become real in our world.
this is known as meditation,prayer or creative visualisation.
the two ends of the spectrum of human consciousness in recognisable terms are love at one end and fear at the other. this is a simple way to illustrate the mechanism but is nontheless valid for this discussion.
when we access our thoughts through a state of love then our thoughts drive positive outcomes. when we access our thoughts through fear/hate then we can expect negative outcomes as a product.
most people experience thoughts in a random and passive way. that is, they don`t begin to choose and create thoughts deliberately. the traditional view of thoughts is that there is no connection between them and reality, so why practice creating them?
the fact remains that everything around us is the manifestation of thoughts in the world.
how did that new car appear on the driveway?
how did you put goceries in the fridge?
how did nasa put rockets in space?
these things are the end of the process that began with thoughts.
ideas, dreams, passions, goals, fantasies, etc. begin in the mind`s eye. we take those flickering images and enjoy the feelings we get as a response. then if we practice holding the images for long enough, the feelings persist and make our plans change in real terms. we start to rearrange our life according to ideas that started in our mind. now we are shuffling our lives around and acting differently because we are thinking differently. pretty soon, if the idea comes from love, we can see changes in our live`s in a constructive way.
we can lose wieght, we can stop smoking cigarettes, we can get a raise, we can build an addition to our house or get a new car. whole countries were built this way. the documents are in the museum. the manifest destiny is our destiny. onw.

ego and what you think you are saying.
i had a conversation recently with a client about his luck with women and i asked him how he approached them. he told me that he felt it was important to be as honest as possible with a woman, and tell them as much as possible about himself and what he does so that the woman would be impressed with his job and accomplishments,etc. he went on to say that he believed that a woman wants to know how consciencious he was about health, diet and excercize and about his hobbies like mountain biking and lifting wieghts.
he was disappointed when i told him that women could care less about those things and that if he continued to bore her with the details she would drink her drink and leave.
women want to feel good. men want to feel good. men`s egos get in the way of this process.
a woman will listen to you describe her good feelings back to her all night long. she will laugh and smile and you will feel good too.
how do you know what her good feelings are?
she will tell you if she trusts you enough to make eye contact and listen to your voice.
my client learned that in a few minutes a woman will describe in precise detail how she derives pleasure from any situation imaginable. all you have to do is give her the opportunity to tell you about it.
what she sees, what she hears and what she feels are all part of her internal world, precisely the way she wants it to be. she will tell you exactly what she wants to hear and how you can create it for here in real time.
it becomes a story-telling. she will sit forever to listen, if you do it right. she will see the things you want her to look at, she will hear the sounds you want her to listen too and most importantly, she will feel the feelings you provide for her to feel.
i will repeat that last bit. SHE WILL FEEL THE FEELINGS YOU PROVIDE HER TO FEEL.
is it manipulative? yes.
is it a powerful tool for buliding lasting relationships? yes.
is it what you want?
well, if you want someone who is glad to be with you, wants to be with you and please you like you please her, then the answer is yes.
there are critics.
generally the tired, bitchy, complaining types that are going to suggest that a person who communicates like this is taking advantage of a woman in her vulnerability.
this couldn`t be futher from the truth.
a soulmate is someone who talks the same language as you do. if you take the time learn and practice how to speak a person`s personal language you are communicating soul to soul. we all want to communicate this way. here`s the opportunity.

the mind.
what is mind? we think of mind as contained within the brain, protected and safe within the skull, going with us wherever we go. 99% of the time reality is consistant with this view. but what happens when we daydream and imagine ourselves on a beach in the sun somewhere instead of at work, or driving miles past our exit on the highway, oblivious to the functions of operating a vehicle?
the association with mind and brain is consistant 99% of the time. the other 1% of mind function is purely consciousness. this consciousness is the repository of all of what we see, hear, taste, feel and smell as memories.
consciousness is a memory machine.
there are actually two minds operating here simutaniously. the observer mind and the operator. you can prove this simply by realising that you can see yourself doing things as you do them and recognising the actions by describing yourself in the third person as you go.
" here i go, opening the door for my girlfriend". as it happens!
so there are two minds operating now. which one is in the skull, one, both or niether?
we have the vantage point of being behind our eyes looking out at the world. this gives the impression of consciousness being in the skull. but where are you when you are imagining yourself being in your skull typing at your laptop?
a paradox.
it has been said elsewhere that we are a spiritual being having a human experience. the limits of human, physical existance put limits on our spiritual potential....... until we begin to realise that the real you is a spirit entity of infinite creative potential. the proof lies in the achievements of those who recognise thier spiritual existance and begin to explore thier potential outside thier physical boundaries.
the evidence of the imagination and desire of humans manifest here in physical form is all around us. drawn down from the spirit to the material.
what you imagine becomes real given that you put enough energy into it.
we put energy into our imagination through meditation.

how we drive our life.

from the moment we are born we begin to shape our reality by learning language and storing images in our minds. the process of looking at pictures and talking to ourselves becomes the method for creating our world.
traditional psychology suggests that people who hear voices and see visions are crazy. they stop the voices and images with medication.
i show people how to adjust thier internal dialog(voices) and alter the pictures they see in thier minds to get different feeling as a result. this is the natural way we create reality. why not master the process to create the life you want?
the next time your feet hit the floor in the morning imagine something wonderful that happened to you from your past.see what you saw and hear what you heard when you first experienced the event. now make the pictures bigger and brighter in your mind and make some of the important sounds that you heard louder as you replay the memory. do you notice that when you amplify the elements of the experience it changes the intensity of your rection to the event?
if you like the feeling do it again. does it make you smile? that`s a nice way to wake up in the morning, and you can do that any time you wish.
whether you realise it or not, you have done this exercise over and over each day, from the time you were very young, and got the feelings as a result. from now on make the effort to decide which memories you use to create your day and your life will change forever.
welcome
welcome to the blog for tools4change.ca. this blog will be the meeting place for visitors to the site with the intention to learn and share ideas about living life and changing behaviours in positive ways.
you will notice that there are no capital letter is my postings. if this offends you there is little hope for your neurosis and my suggestion is that you are in the wrong place and that anything put forth here will be of little benifit to you. having said that, it is my wish to deliver insight into the human condition that will allow the casual reader the opportunity to take the first steps toward self-mastery.
the modern world offers vast riches and abundance to those who have the desire to experience these things and do the work necessary to attain them. this refers to material things but more importantly to the spiritual or divine self that man desires access to but doesn`t know where to turn for direction.
it is my contention that we are the creators of our own reality through the will of our conciousness.
this blog is an exploration of this idea.
