television.

what is t.v.? it is a mechanism that fires streams of photons into your eyes. these photons are arranged in ways that emulate images from life and the ideas that people have about life. we call the content of this media "entertainment". what this entertainment does is that it lulls us into a suggestable trance state so that we are ready to recieve messages about consumer products, social mores and politics.
and it predisposes us to consuming more t.v.
the mind needs a constant rich stream of information of a changing nature to remain interested in a subject. you have only to remember fighting to stay awake in geography class to understand the concept.
t.v. is so low data rich that after about 15 or 20 minutes our conscious mind begings to go to sleep. we are then left to accept whatever images roll across the screen.
uncritically.
then we go to the grocery store and buy whatever seems most familiar to us. the people who pay for the most ads are the same people who have the expensive soap to sell.
and cookies.
and deodorant.
and shampoo.
and politicians.
so, if you want my advice.............don`t fall asleep in front of the t.v., in fact don`t watch it at all.

a lesson......

one of my clients came to a session excited because she had bought herself a new coat because she felt so good about herself.
it was a beautiful coat and it made her happy. she was smiling and filled up with pleasure.
that`s why it made it difficult to tell her the next thing.
out of loving ones self it is not about having things. we need a coat to keep us warm when it`s cold........
an act of unconditional love for one`s self would be to recognise that a coat is fine, but not today......
i`m o.k. without it.
and walking out of the store and watching as the feelings for a coat are replaced by the feeling that things really are alright.
the state of having a coat or not is totally seperate from loving one`s self unconditionally.
if it`s snowing outside, wear a coat.
buy a coat if you need one.
don`t buy a coat to feel good.
feel good unconditionally first.
it is the only thing.
a million coats are not going to warm a person without unconditional love for themselves.
it was a beautiful coat though........and she understood what i meant.

witnessing.

an interesting practice that i find useful when i`m working with painful emotions is to look at myself from a third person viewpoint.
find a quiet spot and breathe into relaxation and open a screen in your mind.
on this screen see yourself as if you are another person. see yourself having the experiences of those feelings and memories. see yourself reacting and having emotions.
now move your viewpoint of yourself and change the light source, brightness etc. until you get different feelings from what you are observing.
see yourself accepting the situation you are in and smiling calmly and deciding to unattach from the situation.
now quickly see the image of yourself recede and vanish.
when you return to the room you are in notice how your feelings regarding the feelings you were experiencing have altered. notice how they have changed and realise that you have done this yourself by deciding to in a specific way.
this practice can be repeated as you need to.
a note from a psychological point of view; the state that we experience in this practice is known in clinical terms as dissociation. there are people who, for whatever reason, have found themselves in this state unconsciously, for various periods of time upto and including permenantly. generally this state is achieved unconsciously as a reaction to trauma. it is a natural way to avoid pain. when we choose to do this practice consciously we own the control over it. we recognise how to begin the state and to end it.
it is very effective in treating phobias, anxiety and grief. it is a safe way to visit pain. much like working on the computer bios in safe mode. nothing you do in this "safe mode" can harm the programming.

mind control.

there has been so much written recently about mind control, from mk-ultra to the jesuits to amway to promise keepers. the common thread amongst all of these is that someone else is providing the framework for your thinking. all of these mind control environments have the potential to provide a spiritual enlighenment. they are all riual based indoctrinations tht follow prescibed methods that profoundly alter the initiates brain chemistry, wave frequency and change the basic character of the person as a result.
one can ad army, navy, airforce and marines to that list along with corporate employers from home depot to ibm.
and the police.
the point here is that you can do this for yourself by sitting quietly for a moment and embracing your unconditional love for yourself. let it wash over you completely and then let all your thoughts flow away so that eventually, as you sit there, you are at one with everything, dissolved in the universe.
your mind will drift to thoughts so just allow them to pass by. do not attach any focus to them and continue rising and falling with the tide of effortless nothing...............
find the time for this practice as often as you can.
it is your mind control.
it is your mind.
it is letting go of control.
and noticing what lies there waiting.
the self.

how to begin to love yourself unconditionally.

sit quiety for a time and be aware of yourself loving yourself unconditionally. a love without expectation. a love that is permenantly now. like the certain knnowledge that the sun will rise in the morning. let your mind empty and sit in this love...........if your mind wanders to thoughts, patiently wait until you have come back to love . emptying your mind.
gentle breath in.....and out in love for yourself.
each day find some time to do this and you will be building a relationship with your unonditional love for yourself.
and let go of attachment and resentment and arguement and a conscience about doing so.
we can only hope that others will do the same.
and then let that go too.................

joke

a man takes his two year old rottwieler to the vet.the vet picks the dog up and looks him over and says;“i gotta put the dog down”the owner goes; “why, is he sick?”the vet says” no, he`s fucking heavy”

if you knew.........

if you knew catagorically that someone or something is trying to hurt people you care about, wouldn`t you do something about the situation?
i know the answer, because i know how i feel in this situation.
i know that there are groups of people out there who`s sole intention is to give advice that will control you on deep levels and they begin at an age where you are incapable of defending your mind.
these people are in control of virtually every aspect of our lives, from the moment we are born.
how do i know this?
well, i`ve had a suspicion for years that something was up.
i`ve noticed that people aren`t happy.
they haven`t got choices.
they haven`t got freedom.
they continue to do the same things, expecting different results.
even though things are terrible for our mental, physical and spiritual health we keep on doing them.
why?
we don`t like ourselves.
we despise our very existance.
we are conditioned to constantly working toward some ideal "success" that is only just around the corner, if we but try a little harder.
but we aren`t told how to do this little bit more.
we are just told to continue to do as we are told, work a bit harder and we will get more, money, things, praise, wealth, happiness, recognition, etc.
wait a minute. stop. i thought we were human beings.
what i`ve described is a human doing.
not what i am, but what i could be if, and or maybe........
it`s all down to the conditional once again.
if you work harder, good things will happen.
what about now, after working hard all day and i just want to rest?
no. sorry you`ve got to plan to be doing better tomorrow. be unhappy now so that things will improve tomorrow.
no....i think i`ll be happy now thanks. you keep the future that never arrives and sell it to someone who cares.
i love myself..............unconditionally. that means no conditions.
right now.
ahhhhhhhhh.
if you don`t love yourself unconditionally, who the hell else will?
another unsatisfied customer who will gladly plan to be unhappy with you through ulcers, chronic fatigue, back pain, cancer, immune disorders, anxiety......etc. as long as you are workng hard...............
or you can choose to love yourself unconditionally and watch the unmerrygoround go round without you.
and you can choose another ride.
when you are ready.

ego attachment............

i will assume from the lack of comments recently that my attack on coscience has got the wheels turning in new ways.
we have an attachment to being seen in certain ways by others. this is ego. we want to be seen as being good. so we buy into the idea of conscience as a way to be seen as being good. this indoctrination begins the moment we can understand and formulate thoughts. mum says that you are a good little child and our hearts swell with the pride of being recognised by the one who nurtures.........at a time where we haven`t formulated a clear distinction between our own self and that of our mother. so it`s all happening at a time when we aren`t clear about anything. we just get good feelings coming from recognition for doing what mum wanted.
when we do something that mum doesn`t like then all hell breaks loose and continues until we have convinced mum that it won`t happen again.
we are sorry.
we do things to prove that we are sorry.
we avoid doing that thing again.
now we have a relationship built out of conditional nurture and love.
if we do the right things we will get the good stuff.
and vise versa.
so a conscience is formed.
then comes an education.
then comes a job.
politics.
humanitarianism.
love interests.
spirituality.
religion.
all based on the archetecture of conditional conscience.
stop it.
now.
resist the urge to be acknowledged for what someone else regards as good.
resist the urge to be acknowledged for what you used to regard as good.
if you love yourself unconditionally, it doesn`t matter what you did, what you will do or what you can do.
that`s what unconditional means.
without conditions.
in legal terms conditions are stipulations that must be met for the contract to be fulfilled.
don`t contractually obligate yourself to be able to live your life........when.
live your life now.
unconditionally.
the pressure is off.
now smile and go on to the next thing.

when we love ourselves unconditionally we begin to let go of the ego`s desire to control and dominate. we then start to have the opportunity to allow the abundance of the universe to come into our lives.

guilt.

guilt is a trap. we have been conditioned to have a conscience and as a result we feel guity if we don`t act within this conditioned framework. this one mechanism has trapped us in the grip of our own mind`s inability to realise that we have constructed a prison for ourselves with what we have been taught to feel.
we feel we must contribute to causes. we must be sympathetic to special interests. we must accept more and more services for our own good. meanwhile the noose tightens around our necks.
we avoid the call of the quiet voice inside that tells us that we need to love ourselves first. we must begin to nurture and respect our own existance. where is the save the me foundation?
i`m doing all the conscious existance, shouldn`t i matter?
when you choose to make yourself matter then the whole thing turns upside down. you are now the divine creator. it`s your eyes that are doing the viewing and the editing and the distorting.
view and edit and distort without the guilt and the anxiety about not doing enough................do nothing until you know how it will benifit you. otherwise there will be less and less of you to go around.
notice how the language and gestures of guilt are deep within the fabric of our communications and language. that`s how church and government and advertising executives gain thier control over you.
people make images that are broadcast over radio and t.v. that make you feel so guity and horrid and powerless that unless you send them money you are going to feel like shit all day.
we have to spend money to just feel better?
go at the root of it. the guilt.
make a conscious effort to recognise when you are being manipulated by guilt. or when you are doing it yourself.............
and stop it.
your life will improve immediately. the very first time you do it.
why? because you`ve taken back your personal power. your self-esteem. you have moved one step closer to loving yourself unconditionally.
unconditional love of the self is the foundation upon which your spiritual life must be built. otherwise you will be forced back by everyone who needs a piece of what you have.
it`s going to be tough. you can`t sell this idea to the next person. they are hypnotised by years of conditioning. you are able to accept this now because your consciousness is waking up.
you still have some doubts.
that is where your conditioning is pulling at you.
you feel as if turning toward your own needs deprives those in need.
yes it does.
but you need it more.........if you want to be free and happy and grin from ear to ear with the joy and abundance of life at the very touch of existance upon your soul.
the great mystical traditions teach this as the first step to enlightenment.
the church vowed to erase this idea from the face of the planet. they teach guilt that binds to obligation. that`s why it`s so hard to break the habit. but the quiet voice inside says that you must now begin. the church began killing wholesale from the 3rd century onwards. they`ve been at it ever since. the whole planet is on fire with the rage created by guilty souls.
you just have to decide to stop and you stop being part of the horror.
as more of us start to love ourselves we will be incapable of hating or harming others. it will be automatic. there will be no need for honorable soldiers. no cheating governments. we will demand honesty, integrity and not accept enforcement down the barrel of a gun.
when we choose to start.

who would have thought?

consciousness vs. conscience.

consciousness is the process by which we upload reality. how we know things. how we feel.
the mind sits in a space and includes our body and it`s actions. conscience is what we are asked to feel in regard to our actions. this concience is a conditioning that has us attached to outcomes and steals our consciousness from our awareness.
in pure consciousness we create everything we percieve, from the most minute detail of the colour, shape and size of each grain of sand on the beach beneath our feet to the sky above our heads to the vast network of computers and software attached to the computer you are reading this message on.
our concience, that constructed form of reality, steals our personal power away from our ability to be conscious and the magician we are.
it is the great conspiracy. to other conspiracy could be possible without it. we wouldn`t react with the pain and anger to the news on t.v. or in the newspapers without a conscience.
the paradox is that we believe that our conscience makes us do good things, but in reality it is the mechanism that perpetuated all of the evil in the world.
without conscience there would be no guilt and no sin. it is by the feelings of guilt and of being sinful that we are controlled.
jesus didn`t die for anyone`s sins. he got the jews angry because he was teaching forgiveness and love. the jews got the romans to execute jesus.......and pilate washed his hand of the matter. but as shakespeare`s hamlet found out, the blood won`t wash easily from your hands.
if you react out of guilt, fear and sin you will be capable of the atrocities of the greatest tyrants known to history.
conscience is a certain life sentence to hell.
ask any advertising executive.......................

hypnotism and healing.

there are occasions where a client doesn`t find relief from the treatment he recieves from me. i am concerned with this because i work very hard to provide effective treatment for my clients and i care that they get well. what i have found is that there is a type of presupposition that some clients have about what i do and what healing in general is about. these people are under the impression that what i do is a magic spell of some sort that will cure them without any conscious effort on thier part. this is a product of consumer society..........the idea that a pill or a session or a product will provide immediate and permenant relief. it`s certainly a myth that advertisers perpetuate. the recent rash of happy pillsthat pharmaceutical companies are selling directly to the consumer show happy, smiling people drugged to cure depression. they don`t mention the side effects, some of which are so pronounced and disturbing as to have prompted authorities to take medications off the market and to ban them totally for children in the case of prozac.
my point here is that we are expecting automatic relief.
the truth is that a person has to take responsibility for thier issues. i teach powerful techniques for profound behavioural change.........when a person is ready to do the work. no matter how many sessions you spend with me, if you want to light a cigarette after the session, there`s not a thing i can do to stop you.
we aren`t powerless......we are powerful. when we choose. it`s the relationship we all have to that power that we have to come to grips with.
it`s called loving one`s self.
if you are in love with your self you wouldn`t dream of lighting a cigarette and inhaling the toxic smoke into your lungs. to do so is an act of wilfull destruction of the self. a person in love with them self who realises the habit they have is destructive will do anything they can to change the behaviour. they will work tirelessly, they will try everything made available to them to stop smoking.
i have 100% success rate with those people.
it`s the same with overeating, phobias, stress, anxiety............
it all comes down to loving one`s self.
and doing the work.

politics.

i am asked, on occasion, if i have a political stance and my answer is yes.......but it`s not something i`m going to delve into. i find that any form of opinion, (defined as thought processes acted upon as fact.) will come hard up against the next person`s opinion as a challenge to the next persons reality. we have a hard time sorting out our beliefs from our factual knowledge.
some will say "cheney deliberately shot wittington"
some will say "bush is a fool"
some will say "we need to win the war on terror"
these statements seem to be reasonable. you can actually draw conclusions like this from watching and especially reading the media.
the problem is that all of the above statements contain rabbitholes of assumption and breaks in logic.
these holes and breaks will condition you to leaking this form of lazy thinking into your personal life.
it may be fun to find that delicious "fact" that "proves" that your intense dislike for a political figure was factually and logically justified. but it rewards us with biased opinion that is designed to do nothing but sell newspapers and adsense clickthroughs.
the people that make these comments may actually believe thier own material.
the question really is, do we need to be told what to think?
who cares who shot who?
if an idiot is running your country, can you do anything about it?
what does a "war on terror" mean?
the most importsant thing a person can do is focus on thier own spiritual happiness and the wellbeing of thier family. nothing else matters.
how could it possibly?

stunning image.

this photograph was taken in 1904 and was just auctioned recently for a record price. the details are really unimportant compared to the absolute beauty of the image.
enjoy.

contest.

in the next few weeks i will be running a contest at hypgnosys to find the best comment or thread of comments regarding the issues that we adress here. this small community of readers needs some encouragement to begin finding thier own voice in this thing we call life.
the winner will be chosen undemocratically by me.
the prize will be a copy of my relaxation audio cd shipped to your adress for your relaxation pleasure.
the rules are simple;
be as honest as you can be about how you see yourself developing as a conscious being and tell us all about it .
happy posting.

radio interview.

here is the link to a radio interview i did recently with marc stevens from www.adventuresinlegalland.com it basically discusses how we create our reality with the words we use and the pictures we allow in our minds.

healing practice.

what do we see when we go inside and see health? we see bright flashes of white light like lightning travelling through our bodies. when we practice this visualisation we can begin to feel the energy coursing through our bodies. a tingling, electric sensation of vitality and life. we are powerful here and able to do anything we need to do in our lives.
when we suffer deficits to the system the visualisation will contain areas of cloud and blockages and different colours emerging into the areas of our bodies that aren`t operating at optimum.
the focus is to see the energy correcting it`s self in your mind`s eye.
know when the blocks are occuring.
you know when you feel less than vital. this is your cue to go inside and diagnose yourself. do an energy inventory. have the confidence to know that the information you are getting is valid. it`s you. you are the expert.
the more you do this, the better and more precise you will become at the skill.
we are all born with this ability.
it takes practice to ignore the signals.
the ignoring is the first step to illness.
see the energy accumilating above your head and stretching out into the universe in all directions. see the energy travelling through you and out your feet and back into the universe and away. back around through the universe to reach the top of your head once again.
breathe through this awareness and and allow this energy to illuminate your being.
this energy is flowing all around the universe at all times and once you acknowledge it`s presence again you can learn to be at one with it any time you need to.
this practice is all you need to be able to heal your self.
practice makes for recognition which makes for healing.
it`s also a great way to greet the day.

how do we heal?

our bodies and minds operate together to create this thing we call reality. we see things in our minds and through our eyes that we say to ourselves is real.
we are in a state of passive acceptance of this almost all of the time. there are times where we are aware of things in a greater sense. this is the state of "being alive" that we recognise as a peak experiential state. this is the state where we can master our existance. it is the state of grace, of creativity and of healing that we are working towards in our journey in consciousness.
energy is all that we are. energy is all that exists. science, medicine, mysticism, theology, athletics and philosophy are converging on the realisation that matter is really energy pushing back against our senses to give the impression of solid form.
an illusion.
the illusion.
we can see the energy when we sensitise ourselves.
we can feel the energy when we sensitise ourselves.
we can hear, taste and smell the energy too. when we sensitise ourselves.
modern living is a process of desensitising ourselves in unconsciousness.
o.k. so now that we know that we can directly experience the energy of creation, we can take the next step......................
manipulation of the energy that forms the illusion of matter.
when we close our eyes we can see anything we decide to. we can see deep into the structure of things. we can see the energy of health inside our bodies and we can see the same images of illness and begin to tell the difference.
it is in knowing the difference between the states that we see and feel that we can recognise our own state of health.
more on this in the next post.
