MY LIFE IS NOT A F*****G STORY - so don't include me in yours

Stories.png

I was once talking to someone about a time in my life when there was a lot conflict and confusion. I heard myself repeat the old saying, “There are always two sides to every story.” Immediately after I said that, my Soul yelled, "My Life is not a fucking story!" In that moment, I realised I was only breaking silence to appease the other person's insecurities and beliefs about their reality… and mine.

In hindsight, and for many years, I made the 'mistake' (there are no accidents :) ) of giving people the benefit of the doubt. I optimistically believed that if I shared my knowledge and inspirations, they too could learn to celebrate Life - and then we could share it together. But no such luck. The dominant forces in their reality were causing and perpetuating too many delusions and illusions. It was a case of Laurel vs Yanni, which meant there was no way they could comprehend what I was sharing in the way that I meant it.

My Soul went on to affirm that my Life is a work in progress - a masterpiece in the making. It is an adventure, a journey, a mystery unfolding. It is a precious gift, an opportunity to Love, to have fun, be creative, solve the puzzle, play a game. It is everything but a ‘story’ to add to people’s miserable grapevines or feed into their false reality.

I spent time with Beings who had mastered silence, and they emphatically stated that all talk is insecurity. If you take a big enough step back, you will realise how most talk is only data mining and selling, in an effort to control Life by influencing events and manipulating others. I realised that it was no longer appropriate for me to communicate in such ways – so I returned to the Silence.

Those who know me understand how I see society as nothing more than a zoo, and how humanity has not developed and integrated past infant level. Again, this is clearly no one’s fault - we are born in captivity and basically live out the classic lives portrayed in '1984', 'Animal Farm' and 'A Brave New World'.

We are living in the dark without any true connection to the Light. The Hindu’s call this cycle within consciousness the Kali Yuga, or the Age of Darkness. From my observations, there are currently only about 6.5% of people who are capable of sharing the Truth. But none of this actually matters, because the Light is always present, and there is an alternative Path we can all take. One that is guaranteed to turn everything on Earth around.

I am going to sound like I am off my meds here, but I want to share an essential part of the bigger picture with you. In fact, it is the most important part of all healing and growing. Whenever I go out trekking in the bush, I talk to the indigenous spirits of the land. Their ancient culture is spectacularly beautiful. The main thing they have shared with me over the years is how song and dance were the core elements of their lives. The song comes first, because it comes from within us. Then we dance to the harmonies we create together. From their perspective, it is the loss and corruption of the song and dance in our cultures that have led to humanity’s downfall.

In higher realms and dimensions, Truth is lived and shared through song and dance. Most people have heard of choirs of Angels, and perhaps how plants sing on a full moon. One of the greatest stories ever told in a scripture was in fact, a song. The Bhagavad Gita in the Hindu philosophy translates to ‘The Lord’s Song’. It is where God incarnated as Krishna and sang his guidance to Arjuna, a warrior facing a dilemma in the middle of a battlefield.

One of the masters I spent a lot of time with would spontaneously break into song in the middle of a conversation. These Being’s joy was uncontainable. Most of us have never known this experience, so we don’t have any reference points in order to correct how we communicate and behave.

The more you look into the insanity of this world, the more you realise it is due to the fact that most people are helping each other live a false reality. Their 'love' and 'support' of friends and loved ones is doing nothing more than propping up a false reality and feeding into the delusions and illusions of zoo life.

Most practitioners are only fluffing their client’s pillows, profiteering off their ignorance as they make their stagnant or regressive realities slightly more comfortable and bearable. There are people with their hand out every step of the way, either selling or wanting something. Lots of ‘experts’ happily profiteer off the idea of life being a process towards a result - rather than affirming our natural state of wholeness and maintaining Flow.

So many people are happy to share all the warm and fuzzy New Age BS, along with all the information, about other dimensions, parallel universes, time travel, past lives, guardian angels, spirit channels, ascended masters, Galactic Beings. There are authoritarians who have very complex theories and deep philosophies, but they are empty and offer no authentic connection. Then there is the other extreme, where they oversimplify everything and reduce it all down to just ‘love’, ‘oneness’, and life just being a dream or an illusion. It is worth mentioning the fact that nearly all of these efforts go outside The Conditions of Unconditional Sharing.

All this caring and sharing is wonderful and exciting, but if you don't have the same agendas, or want to play by society’s rules, then be prepared for the backlash. If you dare surpass anyone, or venture beyond the grandiose mainstream alternative belief systems, or suggest they are missing the point - this is when the fun starts, and all the stories instantly explode to the surface. All the 'love', ‘community’ and ‘oneness’ turn into a nasty cocktail of slander, demonisation, defamation, moral projection, and worst of all, betrayal. Despite a history full of warnings via Judas type stories, today’s zoo is full of this behaviour.

The moment you go outside the confines of mainstream and ‘alternative mainstream’ thought, the wrath of a thousand generations of indoctrination and enslavement will rare its ugly head, and turn on you like a rabid dog. All the narcissistic cutting down and slicing apart will surely put you back in your place. Besides, you can't possibly be supernatural or multi-dimensional, or even spiritual - you swear too much. (Haha)

The reason why all these attitudes and behaviours sound so familiar to everyone is because they are at the core of the epidemic of narcissism currently sweeping the planet. This is primarily due to social media and all the usual forms of conditioning and programming.

Any wonder there is so much depression and anxiety - everyone senses the lack of sincerity. Like I say, most people genuinely want to be genuine, but because they lack the authentic connection within themselves, they simply cannot be effective in living and sharing the Truth. Despite all the worldly success, and feathers in their caps having done plant medicine ceremonies, seminars, workshops, PhDs etc. they are still not a Peace.

The bottom line is:

Are you at Peace? - yes or no

If your answer is yes, then congratulations, you have no stories running.
If no, then how is not being at Peace a good thing?
It means that you have spent your entire life proving what is not True or Real. You can now safely go and do the complete opposite of everything you have until now. The main factor to get right is knowing how to mind your own business, and get on with doing what you need to do to heal and grow.

If you can relate to this so far, it means you are already awake enough to live it. (I share how to stay connected in this blog.) Now that you are aware, there are no excuses - so just go and live it. But you may be wondering, "How do I live and share the Truth with others?"

The answer is simple - you don't.

Don’t try to share it. Just BE all that you are in the moment - and have people meet you for where you are at. The instant you try to meet them for where they are at - all is lost. It is important to remember that you can’t share this Joy with anyone who is not open to it. You can only Live by example, and if anyone comes to you - have them do so on your terms.

Remember, the Law is – BE, DO, TELL.
First BE at Peace and feel whole and complete, then DO everything as an expression of that state, then - if necessary, Tell others - only if and when asked. Stay silent in a state of Grace and have everything come to you.

Chances are you will outgrow even those closest you. The most important thing to realise is – you won’t have any choice in the matter! You have to be at Peace, and just trust that whatever unfolds is for everyone’s ultimate good. You don’t have to add this experience to your poor me story and discuss it with others - because it definitely won’t help, and they will probably have no way of understanding you anyway. This is why it is OK to say, “My Life is not a ‘story’, so if you aren't prepared to sing and dance with me, please don't include me in your story.”

If you get this right, you will most likely end up alone. How and why is this a good thing? - it gives you time to get your shit together and cut ties with all the disingenuous people in your life. You may be alone - but not lonely – because, to be able to move forward, you must be ready, willing and able to fully embrace solitude. You need the freedom to immerse yourself in your new paradigm without interruption or interference from others.

The Buddha said, “Travel with thy equals or thy better. If none available, travel alone.” Eventually, once you have grown and can stay on the Path, you will become someone's ‘thy better’, and you will be asked to serve them in the very same way you were once served. But conditions apply - don't waste any time with anyone who is not sincere.

The universe never asks you to compromise. So, if you aren't sure if you should share with someone, the Law is - if in doubt, stay out. If you ask the question or even if the slightest doubt arises - that means no! When you find yourself in the flow, you move forward free of all doubt, judgment and question. The right people will join you in the song and dance once you are living True to yourself. You can sacrifice all you want, but only up to the point of compromise. That is the line in the sand and where all boundaries start.

Do you sense how there is even more Peace now with all of that in place?

It is all so simple and effortless once we know how! This is the way it was meant to be from the start, but now that you have reinvented the wheel, you can get on living a sacred Life from a place of conscious awareness.

What's the highest truth you are aware of right now?
Are you living accordingly? - Yes or no
If your answer is no, then you have a story running. It means what you believe is not serving you to live your truth. This can only mean one thing - it is time for you to move on and find a new paradigm. It usually means that you have to accept those around can no longer serve you, and perhaps that you can no longer serve those around you in your current role.

The Law of Repeatlessness requires us to honour the fact that nothing will ever be the same again. We can celebrate the ever-changing Play of Consciousness unfolding in, through and around us at all times. We don’t have to pursue anything, set goals, or do vision boards because the answer is encoded into our very heart. You cannot become who you already are. Therefore, the Universe is asking you to do just one thing – BE YOU! There never has been or ever will be another you, so don’t waste your Life trying to become someone in somebody else’s story.

You have to draw your sword on all those who are willing to deny you Liberation and will only support you in the freedom within the cage or the zoo. You do have the right and permission to be all that you are - right here and now. All you need to do is find your path and dedicate (see this blog) yourself to it.

Don't fall for the trap in trying to meet people for where they are at. You never have to go down to their level. If they cannot rise to meet you at your level, you are not the one who needs to serve them at that stage of their journey. Whatever you share will be filtered by their beliefs and prejudices. Even if you did reveal the Truth to them, they wouldn’t be able to see it. If they do, they won't be strong enough to maintain the connection, so whatever you share will only feed into their story and add to their burden of knowledge.

You are only ever asked to remind others of their highest truth, not to teach them about yours! They will automatically realise your Truth when they discover their true Self. This will always happen in their own time and way. This is inevitable. How they arrive there is none of your business. Just serve them in a way that you find joyful and fun. If you can’t do that, then remain in solitude.

People will only ever tell stories relative to the pathways they do and don't have access to. This is never their choice, so love and compassion are the only response required. Having said that, it doesn’t mean you have to waste time and energy on those who are not open to what you live and share. By all means, plant some seeds, but don't ever be tempted into trying to do their jigsaw puzzle for them.

Stories are usually about gaining knowledge and putting in effort to gain results. The results are often focused on an individual or group, and not in honour of the All. The basis of stories is how the present is the result of the past, and the future will be the result of the present. The stories often feed the excitement of the endless trail of dopamine hits, being strung together to bind the person to their compensatory ego identity.

Most stories cause people to get caught up in the dramas of troubleshooting and problem-solving. They never honour what connections they already have, or encourage the joyful embrace of the inevitable outcome. The opportunity to be at Peace within each moment is lost to the belief in having to build a convincing enough story (for themselves and others) to successfully secure a result. However, when you are living the Truth, instilling Peace for All is the only relevant outcome.

Truly speaking, there are no ‘ancient ways’ and ‘modern ways’ of Being. Nor do we have to blend or merge eastern and western philosophies. They are all just different stories from different times and places. The Truth is timeless and immutable, and found in anything that honours our true Nature and origin.

There is a saying in Zen, “You don’t have to be a master of the piano to know when someone hits the wrong key.” People’s stories are either in harmony with the Truth or they aren’t. When you break away from all the dualistic storytellers, your point of awareness is free to expand and merge with the Divinity within the All. The Life Essence within you will no longer be able to support the stories being told by others.

When the point of awareness within the ego narrows off to a story, it keeps constricting, and eventually collapses in on itself. When the ego implodes, it may reach the point of insanity. Their stories intensify and speed up, separating and dividing everything and everyone as it attempts to find solid ground. As the self-righteousness escalates, it gets more compelling and emotionally charged. They endeavour to enlist you into their agendas, trap you with their emotions, or get you caught up in their life’s endless dramas.

Shifting out of the dualistic paradigm can be very disconcerting. Because true change, growth or transformation will put you on the leading edge of Consciousness, where you will be expanding into the unknown - or even the unknowable. But trust in the inevitable and accept that everything and everyone not essential to your ultimate fulfilment in life will fall away - and everyone who is, will come into your Life.

Until you find your Path to Peace, it is better to live and work alone than try to fit into the dualistic paradigm. Just focus on your own healing and growth, and the rest will come. Duty will inevitably find you when you are good and ready – but it won’t be until you are out the zoo gate and back into the wilderness of your Natural State.

True change, growth and transformation appear to the ego and world as all kinds of things, because they can't identify or perceive The Nature of Life. Truth gets under the skin of the ego and irritates the hell out of it - literally - eventually. You don’t have to get sucked into the ordeals that erupt, or stick around for the blowback. “Just smile and wave” and walk away.

Do you feel the depth of that Peace already? It is so simple isn't it?

I am communicating with you - right here, right now - as a conscious being. I am not a person caught up in trying to become something or someone better. I am not sharing with you my experience to be a victim of my past, or present, or even future. I am not telling you anything to feed into your drama or belief about reality. I am not at all interested in trying to impress anyone, influence anything, manipulate situations, or control events. If I could have it my way, I would be living in isolation and working anonymously.

I share what I do to celebrate life, honour all living forms, and inspire others to do the same. Sadguru says it best in that he is only doing what he is to find some good company to share the experience with. It seems neither of us have found our true tribe yet.

Ultimately, Life is very simple. If you truly Know yourself, you will automatically Know everything about me, and I won’t have to say a single word. We will be able to channel all our energy into embodying the Truth through song and dance.

Therefore, there isn't actually anything you need to know about me, let alone any reason for you to accumulate data to form an opinion about me. Furthermore, the idea of telling your opinion of me to another person is the definition of insanity. It is humanity’s inability to mind its own business and stay silent that will lead to its demise. As I was once told, “The misuse of words has led to mankind’s downfall.”

As you can probably tell, I don’t mind stirring the pot every now and then. Like I say in jest, “I am not here to rock the boat - I am here to tip the boat over and have the splash wake everyone up.” But in all seriousness, I will tell you one thing - Life is asking you to learn to swim. Pull your head in. Mind your own business. Find your independence. Be self-sufficient and self-reliant. And most importantly, embrace the Path of Purity. The time is fast approaching when such qualities will be a matter of survival. Until we all share this approach, with equal dedication, our ability to thrive will be extremely limited.

So, do you see now? My Soul wants you to know that your Life is not a just ‘story’ either. You don’t ever want to have your Soul yell at you. You want to hear it giggling with glee and roaring with laughter. Your Life is not a chance to express contempt, or gossip about others, broadcast a spectacle, slander your opponents, have a rant, or assert your authority. All of that is a complete waste of time and energy; a complete insult to Intelligence. You are smarter than that, and you know better. So, stop with all the BS stories, and get on with living your Ultimate Life - and share it with as many people as you can. Then, maybe we can begin to create a new world together.

Either way, it starts now.

Love and Light to All
