What sets your soul on Fire!!

Posted on January 25, 2018 by Rod's World

When people find their passion, they not only love what they do but they lead a life that other people only dream about. In his book Living Your Passion Keith Abraham has a quiz in which he asks the following questions:

What does having a passion mean to you?
What was one thing either in the past or present that you were passionate about, really focused on or just loved to do?
If you won 10 million dollars in Lotto tomorrow, what would you love to do with your time and energy?
Of all the things you have ever done, what were you doing when you were the happiest?
What are the five things you value the most in your life?
In 30 seconds, write down the three most important goals in your life right now.
What have you always wanted to do but been afraid to attempt?
What type of activities or circumstances gives you the greatest feeling of importance?
What is the one thing which you would dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?

They say that 3% of people have written goals, I must know a rare breed of people because at least 50% of my friends do. So what does the world say about having and knowing your passion, Let’s have a sneak peek:

1. Want a boost of energy, follow your passion and with it comes the energy to excel.

2.The 3 P’s that fulfil my life: On Purpose.

3. You’ll know when you find it, Steve definitely found his.

4. It is said you are both a student and a teacher in your life when it comes to your passion it’s up to you: Teach Your Children.

5. How beautiful, Live it, Breathe It, Beam It. Yowzaa.

6. America’s greatest gonzo journalist often got people’s blood racing if you have ever seen the interpretation of his life in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: The hotel on Acid.

7. When your passion enters your soul, it also enters your heart and mind.

8. Passion fills you with the roar of the ocean, Its like people can hear it as you enter the room: Oceans Roar.

9. That’s why it doesn’t go away, the rest of life may be random, but your passions are not.

10. It’s Oprah time. always good advice: Born to be Somebody.

11. Converting a nation with her passion, Julia Child definitely did this. Julia Carolyn Child was an American chef, author and television personality. She is recognized for bringing French cuisine to the American public with her debut cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and her subsequent television programs, the most notable of which was The French Chef, which premiered in 1963.

12. having written over 300 blogs, I have definitely found mine: My, My, My.

13. Make me think of Jim Carrey’s Fear or Love Speech, here it is: Fear vs. Love.

14. They’re your dreams, no one elses: Live Your Life.

15. And at the end, a wall chart for you to print out.

Don’t just get up, go to work, go to bed on a daily basis: do things that make your heart shudder.

Music is from Sabrina Carpenter, CSNY, Johny Depp, Dinah Smith, Justin Beiber, Troye Sivan, Jim Carrey and T.I. Enjoy their focus on passion and purpose.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

A Good Teacher is like a Candle!!

Posted on January 9, 2018 by Rod's World

The spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle says, “The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist. Recognising this is like taking the first step into the light, to get there you need to go through the dark because both come with each other.

In her brave new book Judgement Detox, Gabrielle Bernstein takes you on a journey that is a clear, proactive, step-by-step program that helps you heal judgment and rediscover your oneness with others. Link to the Book. We all make judgements, it’s just how we let them control us that creates the issue, by acknowledging the fact we do this the power they have over us lessens and we can return to the light after the dark of having made the judgement.

So what has society said about returning to the light over the centuries, here are some ways:

1. Probably the reason that there have been sun gods for a lot longer than deities in religious history.

2. Actions fostered by the light are much more dynamic than simply physical ones, Judy’s got it covered pretty well: Somewhere over the Rainbow.

3. Something all parents must think of in those first magic moments when their children magically enter the physical world.

4. And then there are the times we fail to recognise this fact, Inner not Outer: All of the Stars.

5. And from the 1600’s, Francis Bacon offers up this classic fact about life, with the light, the dark.

6. The quiet is always there, the skill is finding it amongst all the other stuff, such as the 50,000 thoughts per day: Light Up the Dark.

7. I remember living in the country when birds used to announce the coming of the dawn/light when it was pitch black, certainly proof of faith that light will always overcome the dark.

8. Isn’t it grand when someone enters your light who makes you forget to do this: Remember to Breathe.

9. You are leaving the dark chamber, time to enter the light and fly.

10. As I get older and older, I have more and more of these people in my memories light chamber: Memory Loves You.

11. Great name for the organisation who can up with this light quote, HealthyPlace.com

12. From the world’s greatest and most published philosopher Ms Unknown comes some sage advice, you have a unique light to turn on, other people’s will blow if you try and imitate them: Chasing Pavements

13. Some may just be more difficult than others, but the way to the top and the well-lit view is always there.

14. 5 simple words that point to the combination of the light and the dark. The second mention of stars so you know what song that means: Starman.

15. And a reminder for the last from George Bernard Shaw. Looking through the window we see dark and light, it’s your choice.

The first step in the book is Witness your Judgement without Judgement. If this is all I get out of it, it will have been worth spending the time. I’m sure I will get much more, Gabbi is a great thought leader.

Music today is from Ed Sheeran, Adele, Mr Bowie and some obscure artists with only 25,000 Youtube plays. Enjoy.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

You don’t meet people by Accident!!

As long as you’re stuck in a cynical worldview that dismisses magic and miracles as nonsense, you’ll limit your access to real-life miracles. In her chapter The Road Back in her awesome book The Anatomy of a Calling Lissa Rankin: Read about it here. there is what is called a hero’s practice on how to become one with synchronicity, here it is:

Hero’s Practice:

Become One with Synchronicity

When synchronicities happen they feel like miracles, and this helps us feel connected to All That Is. But most of us tend to see the synchronicity as “other,” as if it’s happening outside of us, a miraculous gift from beyond. Such synchronicities feel haphazard. We can’t predict when they’ll come, and yet we crave more of them once we’ve tasted a few. But what if, rather than waiting for synchronicity to visit us, we can become synchronicity? Rather than simply hoping for more synchronicities, transpersonal psychologist Ted Esser PhD invites us to emerge with synchronicity itself and allow ourselves to be synchronicity, not only for ourselves but also for others. The first day I practised this, I was just walking around, living my everyday life without doing anything special, and three people told me that I was a ‘sign from the Universe,’ delivering much-needed messages that guided their paths. it felt like the Universe was winking at me.

So try this. Instead of waiting for synchronicity to find you, let yourself become synchronicity for someone else. When you let the Universe use you, you just might become someone else’s miracle without even lifting a finger.

Each morning, take a moment to close your eyes and quiet your mind.
Set the intention to merge with synchronicity.
Feel yourself becoming one with synchronicity.
Invite synchronicity to guide you in your daily life, and if it resonates with you, ask that synchronicity use you to be someone else’s miracle.
Heighten your awareness as you navigate your daily life. If you’re not paying attention, you might miss synchronicities that arrive to guide your path. Notice whether other people comment that your presence is a synchronicity for them. The more you practise this, the more you’re likely to become aware of the synchronicities that are all around you.

That a lot of synchronicities, so what has the world said about this, and where did the concept come from:

1. The clinical meaning to explain the unexplainable.

2. If you walk around with your eyes open the rewards are great: Eyes Open.

3. Raven is a shaman and has some wild accusations against him, check them out on his website at http://www.ravenkaldera.org/rumors.

4. When we get in contact with our soul, all that stuff we just knew was best for us and we didn’t do begin to make so much sense: Break Free.

5. One of my Faves, Danielle trains you to say Yes, Yes, yes.

6. There’s a starman watching in the sky, his name is synchronicity: Starman.

7. And I definitely didn’t know this before I started writing this blog, Jungian theory.

8. Or that his Holiness, the Dalai Lama was a student of it as well: No Expectations.

9. Remember to pay attention to your awareness.

10. How do you choreograph yours: Synchronicity

11. Makes sense to me.

12. More often related to

“once you stop learning you start dying”

― Albert Einstein: Start Again.

13. I personally call her Gaia, God has far too many male autocracy connotations for me, use whatever works for you.

14. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel that way when it is happening at

the moment, we need to journey further down the path to get it: Go with the Flow.

15. And then there is always Magic to believe in.

On the spiritual path, synchronicity is explained by the Sanskrit term of siddhis, cautionary tales are told about these on the yogic, meditators and retreat paths, that if not related to with integrity they can become a hook to the ego, a spiritual cul-de-sac distracting you from the true path. If you are willing to be humble and stay open to miracles you are in for an adventurous life.

Music this time, A few pop divas, two old 60’s classics, some Deepak wisdom and an indie classic.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Passion meets Compassion!!

Posted on December 14, 2017 by Rod's World

Your karass is out there. You are already a part of it. Your life has great meaning, and if you become conscious of it, it speeds up the process. When the members of a karass know that others exist, something activates and the karass gets organised and can operate more efficiently. You may not know yet which karass you’re in, but of you do, consider whether you know who’s in your karass. See if you can find even one person who is serving the same purpose as you./ Reach out to these people. Make a connection. Acknowledge your shared vision. These people are not your competition. They are your allies. If we all do this , perhaps we can serve our purpose more effectively.

This is the hero’s practice in the Committ to Illuminating the Truth in Lissa Rankin’s excellent book The Anatomy of a Calling.

The term karass comes from Kurt Vonnegut’s book Cat’s Cradle. A karass is a group of incarnated beings whose job it is to bring into existence one of God’s holy ideas, pretty neat, huh.

So lets have a look at what society says about finding your purpose:

1. from a man who definitely found his then went about giving it away to the world, Pablo Picasso gets it pretty right as to what finding your purpose means.

2. That is why you need to find your karass, they will allow you your rest and then get you back on track: Don’t Give Up.

3. Don’t have a job, have the profession that is your purpose, your passion.

4. False slogans and statements can get in the way of your purpose, it didn’t for Martin Luther King: I have a Dream.

5. Abraham Harold Maslow was an American psychologist who was best known for creating Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate human needs in priority, culminating in self-actualization. This is the next step after self-actualisation.

6. Remember those things you didn’t complete, they were’nt your passion: Change.

7. My passion is to integrate Love and Respect for All, Everyone Included, what the purpose is I am yet to find.

8. Dostoyevsky’s literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of realistic philosophical and religious themes. A hard period to stay alive in , Dostoyevsky definitely found something to live for through his writing: A Great Big World

9. One of the primary tasks this time in, why did you choose to be born this time around? When found out, go for it with all of your might.

10. Nothing and nobody to compare yourself to when you live from purpose: Purpose.

11. A question , How many of you found your purpose through learning the times tables?

12. Especially the recipes taught as curriculums via the education system: I like me Better.

13. Indigenous wisdom worth listening to.

14. Support people as they strive for their purpose, it can be a tough journey: As you walk through the Storm.

15. And finally remember all the great purposes have never been about ourselves.

The bond between members of a karass runs deep and pure. Their lives fit together in service to their shared spiritual purpose, go out there and finf and help build your karass.

The Music comes from the 60’s, Prince, John Legend, Justin beiber and there is also 5 minutes of Martin Luther King’s genius/

Namaste, until next time, my dear friends.

A messy house is a Must!!

Posted on November 23, 2017 by Rod's World

Todays title comes from the quote A Messy house is a must – It separates your true friends from other friends – Real friends are there to visit you, not your house. Is that a fair statement? Today we look at fairness, I am reading an interesting tome called Just Babies – The Origins of Good and Evil.

Chapter three: Fairness, Status and Punishment begin with the following tale: The comedian Louis C. K. has a routine in which he talks about his daughter’s understanding of fairness. He begins, “My five-year-old, the other day, one of her toys broke, and she demanded that I break her sister’s toy to make it fair.” This would make the sisters equal, but the joke is that something here didn’t feel right: “And I did. I was like crying. And I look at her. She’s got this creepy smile on her face.”

So the books premise is that in our early years we follow an equality bias from an early age and it gets trained out of us as we enter the education system where being the best and winning take over.

So where does the world sit for you in the fairness stakes, let’s take a walk:

1. Fairness does not mean ease of journey, never give up your belief in the fairness of something because it does not work out immediately.

2. No judgements allowed: Raindrops keep falling on my Head.

3. From birth to age 5, a child’s brain develops more, and more rapidly, than at any other time in life. And while genetics plays a significant role, scientific research has made clear that the quality of a child’s experiences in the first few years of life – positive or negative – helps shape how their brain develops. And that these experiences have lasting impact on their health and ability to learn and succeed in school and in life.

4. America’s only Armenian sci writer who emigrated at the age of eight with her parents and two suitcases knows the value of self love: Imagine.

5. The Universe is here to take you on your life’s journey, some parts of it are different from what our mind thinks that journey is.

6. Brit Hume is one of the longest serving Journo’s in Washington Perhaps he made this statement about Donald Trump following some of the decisions he has made lately: Dance me to the End of Love.

7. It would be beautiful if all religious organisations followed this creed. Unfortunately some of them seem to have forgotten the reason their founders set up their belief systems.

8. I am not saying fairness is all light and bubbles, somedays fairness will feel like this: A Little Bit Stronger.

9. Integrity – The state of being whole and Undivided. I work on this, It’s hard to do 24/7.

10. As the stoury form Louise C. K. about his daughter points out, It’s not about equality, it’s about whats needed in each particular scenario: Forever.

11. There are many diverse opinions on this from the left and the right, from what they write about it I think it is an agree to disagree argument.

12. Fairness is listening to both sides and not giving more kudos to either without seriously checking it out: Two sides to every Story.

13. Fairness is not a two way journey, If you don’t recieve it, It doesn’t mean you stop providing it. You may drop that relationship, but don’t give up your values.

14. The expression that says it forme, is Pay it Forward. Not what you say, what you do: Hello In There.

15. From one of the great men who sought fairness for his people, a piece of timely advice how you achieve fairness.

I think we all have a sense of what fairness is as children but can have it changed quite dramatically by parental influence and incidents that happen in our lives. Remember we all come out with a fresh soul, let’s return to that space when it comes to our sense of fairness.

Music for today isBurt Bacharach, John Lennon and a rap number for my nephew and his wife.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Everyone’s True Colours Show Eventually

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Rod's World

Our thoughts create our emotions and our emotions create our realities… Observe your thoughts, Just for Today. Observe your thoughts free of any judgements, just allow them to come through as they are. If you notice any negative thoughts appearing that’s excellent, now you have the ability to change them, now change them.

We have 10-17 magical seconds to flip our thoughts into positive ones before the negative thought manifests. Yes, you are that powerful. Continue, reminding yourself to observe your thoughts, with zero judgement, for as long as you can. This practice session is now complete.

We have a lot of 10-17 second moments in our lives where we do not choose or have the emotional ability to swap from negative to positive, why is this so. Let’s have a look at how life has looked at the moment of observing our thoughts:

1. It’s in the actions we create our future life, thoughts are just passing through. it’s what we do that puts it in concrete.

2. The art of mindfulness, the ability to observe, not be driven by the chaos of our mind was the greatest gift given to the west by the great meditation masters of the east: That I would Be Good.

3. One of the great gifts Lao Tzu gave to the world.

4. My friend and mentor Arion talks about living life at 50 litres or 1,000 litres. Who do you surround yourself with in life: Believe.

5. That mind is a tricky beast, isn’t it. It seems to have a mind of it’s own, we wouldn’t have those thoughts, would we?

6. It’s time to eat: The Simpsons or Shakespeare, bitching or praising your friends magnificence, you choose: Halo.

7. The cost of extreme vulnerability, some friends might just not get it.

8. Eckhardt titled his book about this subject, The Power of Now: Human.

9. The purpose of thinking and thought, to feel our passions that move us towards our dreams.

10. To break free of the control of thoughts, like , I need another drink, a block of chocolate would be good right now is one journey worth going on: Morning Meditation.

11. And what Deepak is doing in the video gives you the ability to be totally responsible, Yay!!!

12. Would you let your best friend have those thoughts or be at the influence of them for any length of time?: Best Friendship Song Ever.

13. It’s those moments in between the thoughts that hold the magic, remember to look for them each day.

14. A little bit more of wisdom from Siddhārtha Gautama AKA The Buddha. That world out there, you made it up: Sweet Dreams are made of This.

15. And waiting in the background, for you to get better at observing your thoughts, is your sweet, sweet heart.

So I am calling for you to take on a daily practice which will give you the ability to observe your thoughts, not be observed and controlled by them, have fun taking it on.

Musically today we swing from Bruno mars to the Eurythmics with some wisdom from Deepak Chopra thrown in, enjoy…

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Let not your Love become Attachment!!

Posted on October 12, 2017 by Rod's World

A mission statement for a Blog by Lissa Rankin:

“We are committed to inviting you to explore your truth, knowing you are loved, safe and nurtured. We believe that true healing comes from loving and nurturing both ourselves and others as whole beings. When we own all the disparate parts of ourselves, we tap into the divine spark within us, allowing us to release limiting beliefs, overcoming fears, and enjoy our lives more fully. Once we are in touch with our own divinity – shedding our masks, revealing our authentic selves, and being accepted just as we are- we can see with “magical eyes,” gazing beyond the masks we tend to wear to see the unique and special humanity that lies within us all.

By engaging with our community, we hope you will feel inspired, get motivated to bring your authentic self out of the closet, and take steps that bring you closer to health, healing and inner peace. If you have lost your mojo and feel you have little to give, we welcome you with no expectations. If you have lots to give in service to those in need, we invite you to share your gifts. Chances are good you are all of the above – sometimes seeking, sometimes giving, always enough..

Regardless of where you are on your personal path of awakening, we welcome you. Let us bear witness to your journey, knowing that while each of us walk a unique path, we walk it in good company.”

Lissa’s book The Anatomy of A Calling The Website., is worth visiting at least yearly as it contains so many profound gems about being on purpose.

But first of all she suggests you need to give up attachment, what do we say about attachment across the airwaves and through time: Here is a selection I have chosen to illustrate it:

1. This is one I have struggled with over time, that the answer lies within not externally. Working on it daily.

2. Why do we become flustered when the world started operating in a different way to that we know it should be, this is what happens when we hold on too tight: Holding on to Broken Things.

3. What did Buddha mean by this, much to ponder in 7 simple words.

4. You can’t should’ve done something. Gold: It was a Good Day.

5. The Inner Universe, that’s where the healing lives and lies.

6. When we stop waiting to reply and genuinely listen to others, Its amazing how many of our judgements slip away: Crippled Inside.

7. How often do we battle with these thing in our lives – The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

8. Judgement often feels chaotic, It’s not your task, bring on the calm: A Thousand Years.

9. Love me a few of Pema’s wise words, get her books , they are magic.

10. Here’s a memory test: Out damn spot, think High School: Time to Let Go.

11. Lots of practice here, heart and mind, methinks.

12. Do we have the courage to give up that which has become toxic for us, I did it with alcohol over 3 years ago, feel so much better: Don’t Stop Believing.

13. Surfs UP, which are your favourite emotions to surf, which put you in danger. Perhaps it’s time to give up your attachment to those waves.

14. This is the one thing in life I wish for more than anything else, to fly unaided. I have not been willing to give up everything that weighs the possibility down: I’ll Fly Away.

15. The field of all possibilities: Has anyone ever reached this blissful state, or would it be so scary that we would implode?

Why is it difficult to detach from the beliefs and judgments that belittle us? Perhaps as Craig Hamilton says in his Integral Enlightenment series ” The ego as the part of you that has a need to see ourselves as a particular way” has a lot to do with it. Daily exercise in detaching what we know to be true sounds a great way to discover how to empower the purpose we were put on this planet for.

Namaste until next time , my dear friends.

Note to Self, Let Shit Go!!

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Rod's World

This is a beautiful sentence for the life altering book The Anatomy of a Calling: A Doctor’s Journey from the Head to the Heart and A Prescription for Finding your Life’s Purpose: It’s tricky to learn how to inhabit your brilliance- to let our lights shine unimpeded-without mistakenly letting it fuel the ego.

On the other hand what spiritual teacher and author Marianne Williamson writes in her book A Return to Love is true:

” Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine. we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

So how has the planet related to inhabiting our brilliance, let’s have a wee peek:

1. If you have a belief in that everything is possible the chances you will come up with something new is higher.

2. Because there is a brand new interpretation of it existing that did not before you took on the challenge: Amazing Grace.

3. brilliant

ˈbrɪlj(ə)nt/

adjective

(of light or colour) very bright.

“brilliant sunshine illuminated the scene”

synonyms: bright, shining, blazing, dazzling, light; More

brill4

4. I’ve got a soul kind of feeling, moving to the beat: Soul Kinda.

brill5

5. Welcome to the human experience, that’s where life really lives.

brill6

6. Some brilliant words from JFK about humanity: Teardrops.

brill7

7. I hope they say Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included when they are talking about me.

brill8

8. Aren’t we always feeling a little bit more brilliant on a sunny day: Ain’t Nobody.

brill9

9. Is your life your favourite movie, what’s its name?

brill10

10. I might do a blog soon using quotes when world leaders were respected for their wisdom not their stupidity: Back to Life.

brill11

11. From one of the brilliant ones.

brill12

12. Not in it’s flag, it’s army, it’s leaders, simply it’s people: Our House.

brill13

13. The oldest comment, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe lived from 1749 to 1832, a great innings for the time. Brilliance does not mean that you will always spend time with others.

brill14

14. Just couldn’t leave Oprah out, proof in the pudding: Sweet Dreams.

brill15

15. Finally a quiz, one of the most brilliant human beings ever, who is he?

The key is to recognise that spiritual gifts , divine downloads, miracles, magic and brilliance are all the result of Consciousness streaming through us. Our egos don’t get to claim credit for any of it. But it is our responsibility to avoid blocking its expression through us,

Namaste until next time, my dear friends

You can Play a Shoestring if you’re Sincere!!

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Rod's World

I’m reading s great book called The Big Little Book of Resilience by Matthew Johnstone at the moment. Matthew wrote and illustrated it. It is subtitled How to Bounce back from adversity and lead a fulfilling Life. Each page has a little bit of wisdom with a supportive image.

Accepting what we can and cannot change is one of the most important aspects of understanding resilience. it’s learning to work with and grow what’s right in our lives while accepting, but not putting all our energy into , what’s not.

So bringing sincerity into our lives allows us to see what are our rights and what will empower us. Lets have a look at what people have said about rights over the years:

1. Standing up for your rights means that you do not have to offend or please others all the time, It gives you time to consider them.

2. This brave young woman has raised the voices of half the world’s population: Roar.

3. You have the right to…. it’s up to you, whatever you listen to in your mind takes hold.

4. I have difficulty with one of these, guess which one: Same Love.

5. Our voices are given to us for a reason, It’s you time to use it.

6. I say this to you all, you can do it, you rock: I will Survive.

7. As a race, we have a fair way to go with this one.

8. This year, I became a tutor to three Chinese mothers. Before I did this I didn’t realize who little I know about other cultures on the planet and how much my group of friends is from the one culture: Where is The Love.

9. Mainstream media, Whilst in the hospital with my mum I unfortunately had to view it. The word puerile and the meaning of this question come to mind.

10. As it say above, be a voice. This period of time in raising your your children cannot be taken back without some serious therapy bills if you stuff it up: Teach Your Children Well.

11. How do millions of people turn into killers during the time of war. Often they were neighbors who had lived next to each other peacefully for years and years. The above sentence speaks very loudly.

12. The federal government in my home country, Australia seem to have forgotten this, they are about to implement a national Grade 1 grammar test: Better Place.

13. This haunting image could not let me not include it.

14. I spent many months contemplating this during my dark times. It was not Erin but Ruth and Jann and Hugo who said this to me, not in such dramatic style, but I heard it: Stay.

15. Perhaps best known for the remark in a letter to an Anglican bishop, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men. Donald Trump, or Nelson Mandela who will be remembered in the year 3030?

So I am imploring you to realize that you have rights and you have a voice. It’s our time, Its up to Us, Because we Can.

Namaste, until next time, my dear friends.

Energy is Everything!!

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Rod's World

“In every moment the universe is conspiring to bring me toward Right-Minded Thinking and the energy of Love” – Gabby Bernstein.

Love, it has its inner energy source that shines on you. How do you let it shine on your community, is it a hard slog or does it spread beyond all boundaries? If you spread love you attract people, things and situations that match the energy you are putting out. As you improve yourself and raise your vibration, the more you will receive things that are beneficial to your well-being.

What wisdom has the energy of love drawn to it over time, let’s have a look:

1. Sister Corita, nun, activist and artist. Her artwork, with its messages of love and peace, was particularly popular during the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. As both a nun and a woman making art in the twentieth century, she was in many ways cast to the margins of the different movements she was a part of.

2. Have you ever seen one of your friends and thought, they’re beaming, they must be in Love. Works best when you include yourself: Shine on Me.

3. I don’t know how many times I have watched Jim Carrey’s great talk on this exact subject. Have a look – Fear or Love.
