If only our Eyes saw Souls!!

Posted on July 10, 2017 by Rod's World

Deep positivity means that you have Faith that you’ll be okay, no matter what happens. Not if it all works out for you in the end. Not if you get what you want when you think you should get it. No matter what. Deep positivity knows that Life will have your back even when you don’t manifest what you want: Danielle LaPorte, White Hot Truth.

Want do you want in your life, is is just for your benefit or the benefit of others? I recently did an exercise where one of the most powerful questions was what did I have to give to society, I answered it with my words and my wisdom, when you get to 62, 63 next Monday you have a fair bit of both.

So I put Deep Positivity in Google Images and the following quotes are what caught my eye, let’s journey:

1. One of the dangers in life, becoming a workshop junkie and not using the new distinctions you have learnt in your day to day experience.

2. I got a Facebook friend request yesterday from a woman who I used to once consider among my 5 dearest friends, she moved away. I’m glad she is back in my life: Old Friends.

3. 6 Mental health episodes later, I fully agree with this statements, some people are saints, others sinners.

4. Marvelous is the power of thought. Thinking is as natural to man as breathing. Thought has lifted man above the level of the animal world. It has raised him from the savage to the civilized state in life. Man’s thought rules the world. The power to think is man’s most precious right and his proudest privilege. How are you going to use this skill: Always on my Mind.

5. I recently have been working on a database of people who are considered gurus and thought leaders by our society. The amazing thing about these people is that they were just ordinary folk until they discovered their why in life.

6. They are free to give, share widely: Something Just Like This.

7. And this is why you give them, share widely!!!

8. I am part of a Facebook group called the Daily Gratitude Space, it’s all about joy, join us: Dancing Queen.

9. My favourite colour is purple, what’s yours?

10. These make my list along with long pushbike rides, conscious dancing – deep positivity: Hurricane.

11. Still knocking? Get the message, it’s positive too.

12. We all love those pictures of babies living in awe of the world, you job is to never forget: Light up the World.

13. The profound quote!!!!!!!!

14. And my wish is ……………………………..: A dream is a wish your heart makes.

Woodstock 1969, drugs , sex and rock’n’roll. Those people were your grandparents, Respect please.

Be positive for yourself, for others. I live by my why – Love and Respect for All – Everyone Included. This is a worldwide vision. I invite you on the journey.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Thanks for your kind Words!!

Worship what you love and love what you worship – Danielle Laporte wrote this in her superb book, White Hot Truth my world vision is Love and Respect for All – Everyone Included. To achieve this I see the need for kindness to be part of our natural paradigm.

“he thanked them for their kindness and support”

So how will the world include this to my recipe, let’s have a look:

.1. I met one of my best friends pretending to be a tree at a party in North Carlton in the 1980’s. Not to many trees at that party.

2. Are we the only planet dwellers in this large universe, the only starseed that can think for itself, I don’t think so: Starman.

3. If you don’t make the effort of kindness on a daily basis how many people will live in this space?

4. There are 7 billion versions on the planet, some people seem to have forgotten though: You are so beautiful to Me.

5. Today was the birthday of a friend of mine who passed tragically and unexpectedly last year, she was one of my kind and I miss her greatly. Happy Birthday whichever plane you are on.

6. Try this, it doesn’t work: Put it Down.

7. Remember that those not showing you love and respect: It’s their stuff not yours.

8. I had a friend recently who has strong opinions about the danger of muslims in our country. So I asked him the question I always ask someone who makes this kind of statement: Have you ever met a muslim, the answer was no of course: Advice.

9. I have 4,800 Facebook friends, a lot of musicians, american female life coaches, and the conscious movement of Melbourne but how did I get the CEO of Northern Airlines in the USA as one. I know this because I write each one of them a personal Facebook Birthday Card.

10. Watch their actions, they speak louder than their words: Actions not Words.

11. a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.

12. This form of kindness might just save the planet: Enough.

13. You can’t read all the words, but you get the vibe of it.

14. Snap: You just have to love Bollywood: Made for Each Other.

15. I am part of a year long Activators training program and we are working on this theory, it takes something special, such as Love and Respect for All – Everyone Included.

So here’s to kind words to each other as a daily practice.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

I wear my letters on my front!!

Just got back from a weekend retreat with my mentor Arion Light: The Activation School. We never know what new surprising empowerment will be served up. This weekend it was an initiation. So what does society define an initiation as, here’s the Google definition:

initiation

noun

1.

the action of admitting someone into a society or group, typically with a ritual.

“rituals of initiation”

synonyms: beginning, starting, commencement
2.

the action of beginning something.

“the initiation of legal proceedings”

synonyms: introduce, admit, let, induct, install, instate, incorporate, ordain, invest, enlist, enrol, recruit, sign up, swear in;

convert

I think ordain is the closest to what I felt on the weekend because it felt like being introduced to a whole new cut at life. So how has society commented on the noble art of initiation over the years, let’s have a look:

1. It is, or it isn’t: why would you choose the latter, yet I know I do. Inition helped me greatly with hanging around with it is.

2. My friend says she became another person when this happened for her at a very late stage in her life, from the mothers I know there seems to be a lot of truth in it: I Got You.

3. I’m not sure if we all felt this at the end of the ceremony, but the sense of love within the room was palpable.

4. They say a life that is spent in reacting and responding to day to day situations and circumstances is stressful, let’s initiate life from today: Shape of You.

5. It’s a lifetime journey, my dear friends.

6. That’s why I and the participants are in the Activators program, the love of learning how to live a better life: Good Life.

7. One of the first spiritual books I read,The Way of the peaceful Warrior. Dan Millman was a world class gymnast when he had a horrific motorcycle accident. The book is about his journey to recovery with his teacher.

8. We were just waking up who we already were: The Crazy Ones.

9. Within first, then the without joins in happily.

10. I wonder what I and you have written on your internal sticky notes: Song for the Inner Child.

11. We weren’t learning how to initiate this, ours was about love.

12. This was part of my initiation, I spent a lot of time having the thought, WTF is going on: Full of Shit.

13. The initiation for me was to release the last two statements.

14. You can’t know it all, yes, he and I are talking to you: In case you didn’t know everything.

15. Finally from one of the greatest philosophers to walk the planet, something that must be included in any effective initiation: Gratitude or celebration as we practice it in the Activators Program.

We were asked to make a final statement at the end of the weekend, mine were rapturous contentment

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

It changes the entire Conversation!!

Posted on June 29, 2017 by Rod's World

I’m an one on one English tutor at Darebin Intercultural Centre in Preston, Victoria, Australia. My student didn’t turn up this morning and I had printed her a lesson called Making Contact. I put this in Google Images and it brought up hundred of quotes on making eye contact, transfiguration by another name.

My friend Chris runs these amazing transfiguration events where you share eye contact with 20 different people over the evening and you finish with a I Love you Circle. This was not what I expected when I typed the words in so let’s have a look at some of these quotes and how they can be interpreted:

1. Kids get it, but adults have had the joy and imagination beaten out of their imagination.

2. Making eye contact with a total stranger was how I met my first true soulmate, on a railway station of all places: Soul on Fire.

3. I heard about living your highest values from John Di Martini the other night but what I will remember most is the friendly single mum from Tasmania I met in the line when our eyes crossed.

4. If you want what you say to land with the person you are speaking to make sure you have grabbed their attention: Don’t Look Down.

5. I make Chai at Mojo dance once a month, I dance with a women who I have screamed at, we have serious trouble looking into each other’s eyes, I hope she reads this.

6. This has happened to me three times in the past month, one of them was 22 years old. What is my soul trying to tell me: Friends.

7. I love the word lovely, Yummy.

8. Yahia Lababidi is an Egyptian-American thinker and Pushcart-nominated poet, whose work has been translated into nearly a dozen languages. To date, is the author of 4 well-received books, in 4 different genres: Signposts to Elsewhere (aphorisms), Trial by Ink: From Nietzsche to Bellydancing (essays), Fever Dreams (poems), and most recently, The Artist as Mystic (conversations): Heart’s on Fire.

9. I just had too because it is so silly.

10. I have always had trouble reading Dostoyevsky, Hahaha: S.E.X.

11. When you eye gaze with 20 different people it helps take this habit away, thank you for your ceremony , Chris.

12. One of my best friends met his life partner on a bus to Sydney when this happened: I’m Into You.

13. And, Yes I love Ram Dass, check him out. It’s not the christian God he is talking about.

14. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing, shit women have to put up with all the time: Stop staring at my Boobs.

15. And then there are times this has to be the next action.

Well, Eye contact, AKA transfiguration is a very powerful tool for connecting with your fellow human beings, practice it as often as you can.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Rewriting your model of Reality!!

Posted on June 19, 2017 by Rod's World

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.

The F Word!!

Posted on June 8, 2017 by Rod's World

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

You so have what it Takes!!

Posted on June 6, 2017 by Rod's World

I began the six week journey again that we take on Arion Light’s Activation Program: Activation School. In the first week we look at what it truly takes to come home to one’s self, the heart, your soul. We do a beautiful practice with a partner receiving the beloved from them. We also discuss our intentions for the course, mine is to give strength to the love and the purpose of my life and for the planet.

So what do sages and visionaries and your ordinary joe say about coming home, lets have a look:

1. F. Scott, big time author pointing out its inner work not the colour of your drapes that has you come home.

2. Insert your name in place of someone’s and I reckon this quote hits a home run: I’m Going Home.

3. Byron and Arion’s work attest to this. Do the work and it becomes easier to come home.

4. The story you tell yourself creates how your home looks, what do you put on your welcome mat: Home is where the Heart Is.

5. We have journeyed so far from our hearts spaces, it’s time to take up the challenge and return to that beautiful, beautiful oasis.

6. I met a person recently, she is from a different generation, but the moment I began to speak with her I knew I had found another of my anam cara, Irish for soul friend, you normally have known each other for lifetimes: Make You Feel Your Love.

7. There are people I miss in my life, so it’s wonderful when you hear they are going to drop into town for a visit, include yourself on this.

8. Doesn’t your heart feel so much lighter and open when you come home to it? They say that love has come to town: Uh-oh, Love has come to Town

9. To be thrilled all of the time, that’s what coming home to yourself truly is, the ability to live it moment to moment.

10. Do you ever go and stand in a rain storm hoping it will wash away the pain and hurt that is real or imagined. In coming home the heart can heal them as well: Cleansing Rain Song.

11. I live alone, can’t have pets so I get these in other places in my community where I am coming home.

12. Haven’t your wildest dreams come from your heart not your head? If your home address resides above your neck it’s time to move: The Dream of Life.

13. What would you include in your favourite coming home experiences?

14. When travelling one may find many new temporary homes, but there’s a pillow waiting for you in your heart: Home is where the Heart Is.

15. Old souls, young souls – our country has a 60,000 year soul to come home to, we just have to have the courage to find it.

I did get a little bit off track on the way through, but I suppose that is one of the variances of the journey to coming home, it never follows the route you hope ot will.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Small dreams have no Magic!!

Posted on June 1, 2017 by Rod's World

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.

I will face whatever Comes!!

Posted on May 29, 2017 by Rod's World

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.
