Are You Really Uncovering Truth on Social Media, or Wandering Off the Path?

We may think we can find ultimate truths by exploring possibilities on social media, but perhaps these ultimate truths are not even possible to find. It’s easy to think that we have found them, time and time again… and yet more layers of the perceptional onion come off, and we see things in a different way later. There will be endless light bulb moments. We will feel that we have ‘figured it out’ over and over. Have we though? Is the truth of what is happening ‘out there’ ever-evolving? And if so, how long are you going to keep searching for a stationary version of it? What if your perception creates the reality you experience, and that’s all there is to it? If so, what are you looking for exactly? Maybe you should be asking yourself what you’re creating instead…

The Counter-News: You are in Control

Are we playing into the hands of a system that relies on communicative discord and investment in the belief that to achieve power, we must preside over something or someone else? Can you be sure that you are not inadvertently fuelling the war on consciousness and relinquishing control over your reality? The time of revelation is here, and although we cannot ignore what is revealed, how we respond to the revelations will determine what happens to us over the long term. Do not be fooled into thinking you are not in control. Master your mind, your emotions and your communication, and you will be…

What Quantum Mechanics and Hopi Wisdom Teach Us About Creating the New Paradigm

It has often been said that there is a fine line between science and spirituality, and both have answers to our current problems. The multiverse theory in quantum mechanics may offer insights as to where we are headed and how we can create the kind of reality we want to be in. It ties in nicely with the Hopi’s spiritual advice, which suggests that upon development of wisdom we can ‘go through the portal’. Will there be a timeline split soon, and if so, are you going to be in control of where you are headed?

Self-Trust, Self-Responsibility and the Need for Righteous Action in Testing Times

Make no mistake, we are being subjected to psychological warfare. This is a war on our consciousness, so it’s little wonder we are confused. It is very easy to point the finger outside or look for a saviour to sort our issues out. Yet the only reason we do this is because we don’t have self-trust. Self-trust leads to self-responsibility, and self-responsibility leads to the kind of inspired action that benefits self and others. It’s time to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves, because comfortable illusions are dangerous at this time. The power of your belief is formidable, so be sure to choose your perception wisely…

Intention Versus Fear: The Key to Transition Against the Odds

We are in the midst of testing and uncertain times, and as we watch the old paradigm falling dramatically, we are losing anchor to all the things we considered security. We are likely to be swinging between states like a pendulum, and nobody is immune to fear. Whatever it may look like in 3D, this is a spiritual war, and you can play your part in a victory for all with some simple but powerful measures… all is not lost, but the time to step up is now. Intention is everything, and fear is dangerous.

The Demise of the Musical Message: Why has our Music Gone Down the Pan?

Talent is no longer a prerequisite for fame. You only need to tune into any mainstream radio station to notice that what is apparently popular these days is mostly devoid of any musical ingenuity; diversity (in the mainstream at least) appears to be disappearing, lyrics have been thrown together with minimal effort and the end results are at best catchy, at worst inane… so why is this happening and what does it mean for the future of music?

Transformation of the Individual: Upping Our Game for Conscious Evolution

There's no doubt about it. We are living in testing times. All is not what it seems, but even when we realise this, it seems that others around us don't. This is a frustrating and bewildering experience; one that can take time to process and accept. The question is, when you know that things are not 'right' (from a material world perspective, at least), how do you affect positive change?

Don't be Afraid of the Dark

Before we reject that innate part of ourselves, that unhealed part that wants to scream at a parent, judge someone’s behaviour, cry in public, etc.; let’s remember that we have all possibilities within us. Everything from a murderer to a ‘saint’. There are times when you have to visit your pain, really feel it to stop rejecting it. The creator gave us the ability to cry tears and feel anger and confusion for a reason...

Who am I?

I lay awake in bed at almost 3am, feeling exhausted but unable to sleep. Something was bugging me but it was like a vague notion that I couldn't grasp. The feeling that there is something to get to the bottom of is not a stranger to most people; yet because it comes with a sense of confusion and discord, it is easier to drown out the notion with the unceasing chatter of the mind than turn inwards and bust through the years of intricate inner-construction to find the root…

Self Love: The Importance of Consciously Valuing You

As is often the case, it took me a long time and a lot of painful lessons before I was to appreciate myself for what I am. I am sharing this piece with the aim of giving hope and some support to those out there struggling with self-esteem and self-worth issues. It can be a long journey but it helps to know we are not the only one making it…

Facing Your Death is the Ultimate Motivation in Life

Facing one’s own death is an abstract concept. How do you begin? It doesn't mean standing at the edge of a cliff, risking a fatal fall. It simply means to consider it. Some say they don't fear death. Perhaps it is more that they don't take the idea too seriously. If the fear is acknowledged, it may be rooted in several things: Pain, change, attachment, loss of identity, and mostly fear of the unknown...
