It’s not easy being a Goddess!

Posted on June 22, 2017 by rodwill1707

What is a mere male doing writing about goddesses? A story, in 2013, after getting over my latest mental health episode I saw that my friend Sun was having a Kirtan with a Kundalini dance session. I ended up doing the door for the event and met Nemone, the Kundalini Dance facilitator and signed up for her eight week course because I sensed it was a way to heal faster.

During this process Nemone mentioned she was going to a retreat in Byron Shire and that I should come along. With $50 in the bank this seemed an impossibility. On the night of the heart chakra dance we had to do it blindfolded and dance to fulfil an intention which seemed impossible, I choose, I will go to the retreat. Imagine my surprise when the sixth email I opened that night was the payment plan offer for the retreat. So I was off to the retreat.

I arrived in the shire and was introduced to the workshop leader, a woman named Tanishka Tantrika, I felt like I had known her for lifetimes. Over the next 7 days my DNA was transformed. My favourite memory was one participant asked her to repeat something, Tanishka answered not really, her output was so fresh each time. I became and elder and took on personal vows over this period of time,

What I did not know about Tanishka was that she was The Moon Woman who had a 500,000 person following on Facebook. Two online courses later I find her knowledge of god and goddesses unique. She has just released a book on Hay House entitled Goddess Wisdom: Where to get the book.

So I have chosen 15 goddess quotes, let travel down the path:

1. I think this is one of the most powerful things that taking on being a goddess allows women: The right to not have to apologize for it.

2. How you treat a person is how they will relate to you: I hear you Calling

3. I know many women who have reached this discovery. Thanks for the power you bring to womanhood.

4. Pretty much sums up the goddesses I know, has anything been left out?: Shake It Off.

5. And the people who know her knows that too, or face her wrath.

6. Both men and women can do this as we both have masculine and feminine sides to our soul: You Sexy Thing.

7. Goddesses can go from Femme Fatales to completely butch, there is no goddess look, it’s who you be.

8. Written sometime in the 1700 or 1800’s by Goethe acknowledging the power of the goddess to empower the present moment: Song of the Goddess.

9. Reading Tanishka’s beginning to her journey you would never imagine that she would end up writing a book called Goddess Wisdom.

10. Goddesses know this to the bottom of their heart’s, the power of the circle: The Earth is my Mother.

11. Frida knew that these people exist, it sometimes takes a while to find yours.

12. I woke up like this, booya!: I am the Goddess.

13. The role of the goddess; to empower people and the planet.

14. Goddesses see the big picture, for them not the chauvinistic desire to rule the world, she knows better than that: Beltane Fire dance.

15. Goddesses realise there will be scars along the journey, they triumph over them.

I have a lot to thank my friend Tanishka for, without having met her I would know little of the goddesses and how to recognise one. You have expanded my life tremendously.

Namaste until next time , my dear friends.

Rewriting your model of Reality!!

Posted on June 19, 2017 by rodwill1707

Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what’s possible and impossible and what we can and cannot do. They shape every action, every thought, and every feeling that we experience. As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives – Tony Robbins.

Our models of reality lie below the surface. Often we do not realize we have them until some intervention or contemplative practice makes us aware, How connected to your beliefs are you, or do they just percolate in the background waiting to surface when some event calls for them to.

Beliefs control our everyday actions and how the world is controlled, how has this shown up in quotes over time, let’s have a look:

1. They say it takes 21 days to change an existing habit. What could you change in your daily routine to move forward in your life?

2. One opinion is that I’m Possible uses the same letters as Impossible, funny that: Impossible.

3. They also say your life is formed by the habits of the 5 people you spend most time with in your lives.

4. Feed it with the good things: Free Your Mind.

5. There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain, Big Tony nails it.

6. Author of 3 life altering books, The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution and The Honeymoon Effect, Lipton question western medicines methodology: Wayne Dyer and Bruce Lipton.

7. This is a worthwhile habit to take on for 21 days. Begin it Now.

8. Would you have met your life partner if you had turned left instead of right, probably not: Enough.

9. Everything you know to be true just got blown away by this statement, didn’t it.

10. Another word that must travel alongside beliefs, Trust that you can, You’re Allowed: Trust Issues.

11. It’s not going to end that way if you have anything to do with it.

12. I believe in Love and Respect for All – Everybody included. What do you believe in: I Believe I can Fly.

13. Point taken!!

14. Walk out to your car and turn on the ignition switch of believing in your ideas and dreams: Fight Song.

15. Anthony “Tony” Robbins (born Anthony J. Mahavoric; February 29, 1960) is an American motivational speaker, businessman, and author. He is known for his infomercials, selfhelp tapes, seminars, and books including Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within. He has also been featured in a TED conference, Business Insider, and Inc. magazine

In 2007, he was named in Forbes magazine’s “Celebrity 100” list, earning an estimated $30 million annually.

it’s time to give up those disempowering models of reality that we inherited as far back as childhood, open the door and begin that new life that awaits you.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Crystals, Meditation, Flower essences, Essential oils, Sacred geometry, Mudras, Mantras, Incantations, Vision boards…

They are all metaphysical technologies, and like any technology, if you don’t know how to use it , your motherboard could get fried, Danielle LaPorte writes in her latest book White Hot Truth: Danielle’s website.

Trying to activate the Kundalini because you read a book somewhere is like starting to build a nuclear reactor in your home because you read how to do it on the internet – Sadhguru.

Danielle goes on to say Once you find your God/Goddess, He/She may turn your life inside out and you’ll be called to reorganize your plans, your mind, and your body. You will finally understand the “work” in “Light worker”.

So what do you hold to be your awareness level, let’s take a journey to the stars:

1. Eckhart Tolle talks about the power of the Now to exist in the silence of pure presence, seems to be another way of illustrating awareness.

2. My mentor Arion Light through his Activation work has us be in contact with our essence in our bodies not our mind. The awareness this provides is phenomenal: What is Activation?

3. A + C = R.

4. Babies lie in their cradles watching the world in awe because they are not yet aware that things are labelled, perhaps it is the purest form of awareness: Cats in the Cradle.

5. What does awareness give us, shitloads apparently

6. How well do you accept your life, I feel I spend a lot of time being unaware what is going on, it’s just a haze so acceptance could be a long way off: Suddenly I See.

7. Lao Tzu is one of my top ten. You can read one sentence and study it for the next week.

8. Be aware that self love is your greatest growth seed. Water it and you will transform: Born this Way.

9. They say the best way to learn something is to teach it, do you have the gonads to do that.

10. Heroism is always available. Through ordinary experience the ordinary man can become extraordinary: Heroes.

11. So is mine, I love Google Images, It’s part of my blogging necessities.

12. Another essential, Trust has to be included in living a truly aware life: Trust.

13. My friend Emeli’s life was transformed when Jim Stynes, head of the Reach Foundation asked her What are you going to do with your life when she was fighting with grief in an unsustainable way She now runs this: Collective Potential

14. A West African shaman by the name of Dr. Malidoma Patrice Somé has a different view of mental illness compared to that of people in the western world, where we focus on pathology and the idea that the behavior exhibited by those diagnosed with the condition is something that needs to stop.

Dr. Somé proposes that what we call depression, bipolar, psychosis and schizophrenia may perhaps be a remarkable transformation in consciousness and an inevitable step towards human development.

Dr. Somé and the Dagara people support the shamanic view that signals mental illness as “the birth of a healer.” They believe that this person has been selected as a medium for a message to the community. What Westerners view as “mental illness”, the Dagara people view as “good news from the other world.”: Healing Song.

15. Then, finally it’s your awareness that matters in the end, do the best you can for you.

Should we avoid esoteric practices and teachers altogether and take the path of total self-reliance? We can’t. And we shouldn’t-this is part of our awakening. What we should do, at many stops along the way, is recommit to our spiritual education. We should scrutinize every class, every sermon, every theory, with the respect our soul – and our greatest teachers deserve.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

How to walk on Water?

Posted on June 12, 2017 by rodwill1707

Cleaning up I found Marc and Angel Chernoff’s great so not little book 1000+ Little Things Happy Successful People Do Differently. I flipped it open and the tale was How to Walk on Water. The premise was there was a child running into the shallows and Marc asked him what was he doing? Trying to walk on water he replied.

Marc gave him 9 pieces of advice, here’s the list

1. Make sure you were born to walk on water

2. Decide that nothing can stop you

3. Work on it for real

4. Let the whole world know what you’re up to

5. Value the people who value your ambitions

6. Ignore the negative naysayers

7. Prepare your self for the pain

8. Enjoy the pain of your greatest challenges

9. Never give up! Never Quit!

Each have a vignette of words underneath them , I especially liked number five, so today we discuss being valued. I hold the work of Marc and Angel as being value so here is the link to their webpage www.marcandangel.com

1. Everybody who has ever lost someone at an early age before their time was expected to end knows the effect of this quote, love and hugs your way.

2. HHDL says we are making a big mistake these days, we value things, not people and it should be the other way around. Reverse that car, baby: Diamonds

3. My friend Yoko runs a natural food cafe and recently started charging 50 cents for takeaway containers. She posted that only one person had abused her for it and that other people were starting to bring their own containers. the feedback of support she got was amazing. Don’t give in ot the one.

10. Buffett is a notable philanthropist, having pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune to philanthropic causes, primarily via the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2009, with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, Warren founded The Giving Pledge, whereby billionaires pledge to give away at least half of their fortunes. I like this value: Give it Away.

11. You get the final say, everything else is dross.

12. Remember your worth, It’s time to say goodbye to that someone: Beautiful.

13. If they only fit you in when it suits them, It’s time to move on.

The F Word!!

Posted on June 8, 2017 by rodwill1707

OK, fess up, who instantly thought of the four letter word when they saw the title of todays blog. That’s because the subject it is about is one that society has a total struggle with, forgiveness. A Course In Miracles says – …holding no prisoner to guilt, we become free. Maybe you can’t move along your career path because you haven’t forgiven yourself for a mistake you made in the past or maybe you remember the time you hurt somebody or they hurt you and you are afraid of being that intimate again.

There are oodles of forgiveness quotes, I put this down to the fact that society has such a quandary with it. What has been said over the years, let’s have a look:

1. Perhaps the greatest example of this is when Nelson Mandela walked out of the prison on Robben Island after 27 years.

2. How beautiful is this piece of sage advice, locked in and noted: Heal the Wound.

3. Revered the world over for his nonviolent philosophy of passive resistance, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was known to his many followers as Mahatma, or “the great-souled one.” He forgave one nation to create another.

4. You don’t go to a gym to get this sort of strength, it is definitely on the inner plain: You Raise Me Up.

5. You can use your memories to treat people harshly or perhaps you forgive them for being human.

6. Because this is where not forgiving can take you. If you wish to see how poisonous it can be watch mainstream media: I have a Dream.

7. I have a friend who has not spoken to his sister for 5 years over an “incident”. They were over 30 when it happened.

8. My mother once sent me a postcard with a ship on it asking if that was how I was returning to Australia. I don’t think I had seen her for three months. I didn’t realise she was that funny: Mother.

9. Write out the apology you would like and then burn it so it is in the ether, you know you will never receive it in the flesh, stop hurting yourself.

10. A powerful lesson, think before you put your foot in your mouth, the repercussions are costly: Words.

11. Bryant McGill is one of the most virally shared and read authors online in the world today. His articles have reached more people on social media than any top shared article, by any other writer or media outlet including the New York Times, Barack Obama, Huffington Post, or CNN.

12. I remember a time in my life when if my mother said white I would say black. My sister pointed out that I still retain a little of this towards her, at 62 and 90 it is time to forgive her for what I think happened between us and hold on to the hope of tomorrow: Hold onto Hope Love.

13. It’s a two way street.

14. Can you smell it, remember to give time to smelling the flowers: Supermarket Flowers.

15. Time to set yourself free, Unlock the door.

A morning reflection to end on from May Cause Miracles by Gabby Bernstein

For today I commit to letting go of my past. In this moment I choose to release all the pent-up anger and resentment I have placed on myself. I welcome even a moment of release. I forgive myself for my past, my present and my future. I trust that I am love and that all my life’s experiences have been divinely placed for me to learn and grow. I’ve done the best I can with my life’s circumstances, and today the best I can do is forgive. I forgive myself today.

Namaste until next time , my dear friends

Small dreams have no Magic!!

Posted on June 1, 2017 by rodwill1707

Question: Will you still do it if your dreams might not come true? If the payoff doesn’t come in this lifetime? Would you still work to accrue beautiful karma and positive thought-forms.

Devotion to truth seeking takes something. You may have to let people go, walk the path alone, ask for help on the way, not know what the fuck is going on and all these things may happen within one day.

Danielle LaPorte states that devotion is the bridge to your soul and joy is your soul’s reflection. Happiness comes and goes but joy is ever present.

So what are your truths on the way to devotion, what does society say about them:

1. To walk the path of your truth is to lead a moral life, not a life of morality where rules are used to belittle how you show up in life.

2. Mark Twain once said it’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled, the mainstream media has a lot to answer for, do not buy their bullshit: It’s a Family Affair

3. Mahatma held high standards, devotion to truth being one of them.

4. Sometimes what actually happens is more bizarre than anything that could have been imagined. For me this happened when I ran down the main street of Leningrad at 5.30 one afternoon in the name of ending world hunger: Far from Any Road.

5. A Facebook friend posted Should we tell white lies, I’m not for them, we have a new generation that lacks strength because of them.

6. Love this quote, it has some great practices contained in it to empower your life: The Greatest.

7. Author of the inspirational book The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying Sogyal Rinpoche places devotion squarely in the area of gratitude, have you been grateful today? Have you acknowledged anyone for it?

8. Grover Cleveland, born March 18, 1837, was a tough opponent of political corruption who fiercely guarded the integrity of the offices in which he served. He lost a second term as incumbent but won back the presidency four years later. He earned the nickname ”guardian president” for his record-breaking use of veto power and strengthened the executive branch, ushering in the modern presidential era. A certain D. J. Trump would love him for this: Doing It Right.

9. Grace is so wonderful, it is hard to

find the words to describe her.

She is to be truly beautiful reflecting

an unparallel sense of eternity.

This Amazing Grace

Amazing grace.

10. How did they know 2,000 years ago what state mainstream media would end up in: Why would I tell you the Truth?

11. Most governments in the world seem to have got part of this wrong, the little bit at the end.

12. Truth resides within your inner journey, outside is the playing pieces: The Truth.

13. Nicholas Charles Sparks is an American novelist, screenwriter and producer. He has published eighteen novels and two non-fiction books. Several of his novels have become international bestsellers, and eleven of his romantic-drama novels have been adapted to film with multimillion-dollar box office grosses. In his spare time, Sparks volunteers at his local retirement home.

14. He didn’t say it, she did. Audrey Hepburn said this magnificent quote of belief:

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles: You Sexy Thing.

15. We go back to Jim Carrey’s great line, all there is is a choice between Fear and Love, why would you not choose the latter.

I wanted you to see what real courage is instead of getting the idea that courage os a man with a gun in his hand. It is when you know you’re licked before you begin. But you begin anyway and see it through no matter what: Atticus Finch, in To Kill a Mockingbird

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

What does the following question raise for you – What if I didn’t have to prepare to be present? Danielle LaPorte also suggests to do these three things in her book White HOt truth:

Identify where you are already meeting with spirit in your life
It’s important what you call your practice
There is no competition
Remember , it’s about ongoing practice , not permanency

Over my years I have meditated, taken a Buddhist name, done Landmark for seven years, ran marathons in Australia and Russia, but I like this summation by Danielle:

Even with steady devotion to your growth, your practices will ebb and flow. Some days you’re going to be riding high, dancing to merge with Shiva himself, or fasting to feel the pulse of the higher realms. other days , you’re just doing what it takes to not feel like shit.

So what are your life affirming practicing and what do the wise ones say about it, Lets have a look:

1. I once wrote the statement that we all have the same 24 hours in the day as Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa. Some people thanked me and others went apeshit. Where do you hold the truth in the above quote?

2. If you have had a bad day, you always have the opportunity to rise afresh: All I Ask.

3. Beauty is not attained by outer work like plastic surgery, it is purely inner work.

4. Who and What and Where you are is exactly where you are meant to be, how could it be different. Accept this and your life will become a whole lot easier: Who You Are.

5. This image seems to be of someone walking on water, rise up and you can do that.

6. Some people say we choose our parents before we start to live our lives, if this is true we are definitely strong enough to get through the bit after birth: Strong Enough.

7. That simple smile, thank you or words of gratitude can change a life, and you may never know.

8. With a heart to inspire single women to live their best lives and to never, ever settle, Mandy cuts to the heart of the matter with her inspirational, straight-talking, witty, and often wildly humorous take on life and love. She’s also not afraid to talk about the many realities of being single in a world that still asks “And WHY are you still single: Happiness is an Inside Job.

9. When I was a child I loved my magical friends, the education told me they weren’t real. Now I’m discovering that probably this was not true.

10. They say that when it becomes too hard, the place to go to heal, is the music that enlivens us, I agree: I’ve got the Music in Me.

11. Worship what you love and Love the way you worship. Failure does not mean your dreams are dead.

12. Quite a life affirming belief from Kanye West. Could you think this, or even say it. Mohammed Ali, move over: Stronger.

13. let go of the non life affirming things in your life, you will feel like you have lost kilograms of weight.

14. The affirmation queen, Louise Hay began her literary career at the age of 50. So do not give up on what affirms you in your life just because it hasn’t happened yet: Flowing Life.

15. Remember in life affirming practices laughter is the best medicine.

Womens circles have existed for millennia, mens circles similar to King Arthur’s Round Table are returning. We find it impossible to be aware all the time, be your kind of devotee, your light chaser.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.
