We can change the course of planetary events. While solar cycle 24 is becoming more active, affecting all beings on Earth, we can decide on how to react to these changes. It is important to remember that the increasing solar activity has a positive affect – it’s a time when opportunity and creativity can flourish along with increased individual and collective enlightenment. It’s an auspicious opportunity for advancing our intelligence on how to cooperate more harmoniously with each other and with Mother Earth. This can eventually lead to a global consciousness transformation and increasing peace. A few effective co-creative actions we can take through these opportune times would include committing to reducing fear, becoming more responsible for our own energy, and increasing love, care and respect for others and for ourselves. This can do much to restore balance and energetic alignment between Earth and the global community.

Many thanks to all who are caring and holding the vision of humanity in the state of joy, love, peace and health and a vision of a vibrant Earth. I would like to end this commentary with a quote by Albert Einstein:

“Our task must be to free ourselves – by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.”

So what are these four little things holding you back from success? They are:

Fear

Shame

Guilt

Pain

Think of your current predicament. What is really stopping you from reaching your goals and realizing your dreams? It is fear, isn’t it? In fact we could summarize all four of these obstacles with just this one – fear. You are afraid to step out and do what you know you must do. You are afraid to do something you have never done before. You are allowing this fear to keep you firmly fixed in your current undesirable situation. Fear is the one, big block standing in your way. But what is it exactly you are afraid of?

Shame of failure. That’s right. You are afraid of shaming yourself if you should try something and fail. You feel you would be ashamed to face your family and friends after failing to achieve your goals. Perhaps there is some shame in becoming successful because of the things you have been heard saying about the rich and successful. In this case you better start changing your tune and looking for why those people are successful. Maybe you can learn something.

What about guilt? Do you feel guilty pursuing success? Do you feel it isn’t your privilege to be successful? Are you allowing the guilt of leaving others behind to stop you from being successful? How are you supposed to be able to help those then if you don’t change your life? Won’t you then be in a better position to be able to help others in need?

It may not be physical pain which you fear, but the pain of remembering past failure or loss. Have you met with a painful loss and feel you have been disadvantaged? Do you convince yourself that if that hadn’t happened you wouldn’t be in such a bad state right now? Well you have a choice. Either you sink in your past pain or you rise to create new opportunities to make yourself successful and fulfill those dreams which you have been putting off for so long.

So you see how impossible it is to change your life as long as you allow these four silly obstacles to rob you of your dreams? It does not have to be that way! You can change your life if only you will decide to overcome these little fears, to forget the shame, to reject the guilt and to overcome the pain. Make these the four reasons why you must succeed and you will look back wondering why you hesitated for so long. Go for your dreams!

I regard Jesus as one of the most inspired teachers of all time and that he was teaching us to recognize our being and connection to the Divine. He also understood the power of intention and thought and taught very clearly that what you give out will ultimately return to you.

So many, even religious people, fail to understand how important it is to love others and not to hate and hold grudges. Many are sick, poor and miserable because of their attitudes towards others. In fact, I would go as far to say that most illnesses are caused by hatred and foul feelings towards others. Think of what those feelings are doing to you and your body.

It is now clearly understood that we are more than just a physical being. We are also spiritual beings and emotional beings. These three parts to our being effect each other, so it must be understood that your emotional condition will effect your physical body and vice versa. When Jesus was telling us to love others, even our enemies, he wasn’t telling us to ignore the evil around us, but he was instructing us how to stay healthy in spite that evil. If you internalize the evil done in the world then you internalize the effects of it in your physical and mental health.

I am currently reading Dan Brown’s new novel “The Lost Symbol”, and you wouldn”t expect to find New Thought teaching in a novel. But Brown does quote Lynn McTaggart and makes the following observation: Thoughts have mass, and as such have gravity. If we then focus thought intensely then we increase the gravity of that thought.

Isn’t that interesting? I have known that our thoughts do attract what we think about and that thoughts are energy, but now to see thoughts as actual mass makes this more understandable.

If you hate someone, you are drawing that hate into your own body. If you criticise someone harshly you are drawing that criticism into your own body. But if you love others, no matter what they have done, you are drawing the most powerful force of love into your body and life.

Isn’t it time to get rid of all those hates and grudges? Let them go like hot coals. Grab hold of the good by giving it out. Love and be loved.

What is a Relationship?
A relationship is a connection between two human beings, be it a business, family, social or intimate relationship. All relationships comprise of similar characteristics and boundaries. The connection is what determines the kind of relationship and respect for that connection determines its success. Connections are made in business deals, births and marriages, membership or attendance in clubs and organisations and on the emotional and sexual level between two individuals. Problems arise when this connection is not respected and one party’s boundaries are crossed.

The connection is the basis for the relationship. If this can be maintained honestly then the relationship will grow as trust grows. Where there is dishonesty, there is no trust, the connection is broken and the relationship no longer has any grounds for existence. If the relationship is subsequently forced to continue, either because either or both parties do not face the truth of the dishonesty, or because of fear of what others may think, or even because of the fear of not knowing what to do without this relationship, then this relationship becomes a conflict. The relationship has broken down and only conflict can remain when the two insist on playing out a relationship.

What Boundaries are Necessary in a Relationship?
Every individual has his or her private sphere. This is the area where a person is alone with his or her thoughts, their interests and pleasures. A relationship is built on the connection of common interests. No two people are the same, so there is naturally a boundary between the connecting interest and the individual interests. I see three possible scenarios when this boundary is reached:

1. The boundary of individual interests is respected and left alone. There is no attempt to interfere with the other’s personal interests.

2. The boundary is shared for the sake of the other and the interests are enjoyed by both parties.

3. The boundary is ignored and one party attempts to change the other to make them fit more into their realm of interests.

A combination of the first two will lead to a successful relationship. But any attempt at the third brings only disaster to the relationship.

A healthy relationship is always depending on a healthy give and take attitude. Each party seeks the best for the other and never forces anything. Any attempt to control the other immediately breaks the connection forming the relationship. Freedom should be given and each party is free to develop their own interests and personalities.

Why are Relationships Important?
Relationships are important because of our connection with each other. This time I mean another type of connection. All of us are connected on a higher level than is obvious to our physical perceptions. On the understanding that everything is energy, our bodies, the world around us, even our thoughts, and that beyond the physical world which we are familiar with there is another non-physical existence, outside of our perception of time and space. On this other level, we’ll call it energy level or the spiritual level, everything is connected through a field of energy, for all beings are energy. This connection, although not obvious to us here in this life, is still very real in the other realm.

This is why we are drawn to one another (all man-made religious ideas and ideals set aside) because we are a part of one another. There is a sense of completeness when we have a close relationship with another individual, whether this be on a social or intimate basis. Even a successful business partnership can be fulfilling as both parties benefit from the partnership. We are constantly looking for this inner fulfilment. Some try to find satisfaction in religion, enjoy the connections there, but are driven to despair by all the other stuff which make relationships impossible. Others will seek fulfilment in social or cultural groups, finding those who like the same things. But even these relationships are doomed to failure if they are not built on a mutual connection respecting individual boundaries.

Every individual has a purpose. Our relationships work best when this purpose in respected and given freedom to evolve. How far a boundary should be set is up to the mutual agreement of the parties involved. This may be unspoken yet naturally worked out in the love and respect of each other.

THE FEAR OF ILL HEALTH
…
In the main, man fears ill health because of the terrible pictures which have been planted in his mind of what may happen if death should overtake him. He also fears it because of the economic toll which it may claim.
…
Powerful and mighty is the human mind! It builds or it destroys. Playing upon this common weakness of fear of ill health, dispensers of patent medicines have reaped fortunes. This form of imposition upon credulous humanity became so prevalent some twenty years ago that Colliers’ Weekly Magazine conducted a bitter campaign against some of the worst offenders in the patent medicine business.

During the “flu” epidemic which broke out during the world war, the mayor of New York City took drastic steps to check the damage which people were doing themselves through their inherent fear of ill health. He called in the newspaper men and said to them, “Gentlemen, I feel it necessary to ask you not to publish any scare headlines concerning the `flu’ epidemic. Unless you cooperate with me, we will have a situation which we cannot control.” The newspapers quit publishing stories about the “flu,” and within one month the epidemic had been successfully checked.

There we have it – FEAR was the cause of that epidemic over one hundred years ago, and it is the same fear which caussing the big problem today. Swine Flu isn’t new. It’s been around like any other flu. And more people have died from just the regular flu. Whatever the reason behind this epidemi, I call on all fellow earth citizens to switch off your TV reports, skip the newspaper articles and excuse yourself from conversations which speak of swine flu and vaccines and how it is spreading.

Keep a positive outlook. A recent survey here is Switzerland, contrary to other reports, states that a survey indicated that very few take the swine flu seriously, and only a small percentage are even taking precautions. So do not believe everything your hear or read. You determine your own state of health. N0 fear – no worry – no illness.

Have a great and healthy summer. Pass this on to those you care about and eveb to those you don’t care about. You bless others and so bless yourself.

Fear is nothing more than a memory. A memory is something that happened in the past. Fear is not what stops me jumping off a building, that’s common sense. But fear will stop me achieving my goal because I am afraid of what might go wrong or what others might think. So Fear can also be fear of the future, which is probably based on past fears.

Fear is also the product of religiousness. I discovered, once I had distanced myself from it, that religion gains its adherence through fear: fear of hell, fear of sin, fear of punishment, fear of falling short, fear of breaking a rule, fear of God, fear of so much.

This latter fear disappears completely when the religiousness with its rules is removed. There may be memories, but they no longer induce present fear.

As for the fear from past experiences, this too can dissolve into mere memory by placing it in its proper perspective – past. It is a past event, it does not belong to my present, and certainly not to my future. In my studies of the mind and how thought controls what we do and experience, I have come to realize that I can determine my own outcome. Even if things go apparently wrong there is always a positive experience and lesson to be learned, which will make the next experience more enriching.

I do not agree that fear is a natural self-defense mechanism. Fear is an illness based on a lack of faith in the Divine. That Force, when recognized removes all fear. It is not a force to be feared, as taught in our religions, but a Force to be welcomed and lived out in our own lives.

The faith reminds me that the future holds whatever I desire. So if my view of the future is fearful, so be it. However, if my view of the future is something wonderful and desirable, then so be that also.

This gets into metaphysics and how the energy of thought influences the energies of life. Be it simply stated that fear, based on how one sees the past and the future, can be eliminated. It is a matter of changing one’s perspective. Stand on a mountain top and the vast city below looks like an insect colony. The city hasn’t shrunk, but my perspective of the city has changed.
It is the same with whatever we find fearful. Take a different viewpoint and the fear becomes an interesting lesson. Fear paralyzes, knowledge empowers. It is knowing what the thing is that has caused fear and knowing that I am a channel for Divine energy. How I channel that energy depends on my perspective, my attitude and my intentions.

When next you face fear, take a step back and look at the fear. What is it you are fearing, a past recollection, or a future fantasy? For that is all it is. So many worry about what has not happened. Why not instead put that energy into seeing a positive and desirable outcome? Fear is only a figment of your imagination. Use your imagination to dispel it and imagine a bright future for yourself.

INDECISION       DOUBT      FEAR

If indecision and doubt are left unchecked they will result in fear. And here Hill lists the six basic fears:

The fear of POVERTY
The fear of CRITICISM
The fear of ILL HEALTH
The fear of LOSS OF LOVE OF SOMEONE
The fear of OLD AGE
The fear of DEATH

He says that the Fear of Poverty is at the top of the list because it is the most popular. He also makes it clear that poverty is a STATE OF MIND, nothing else! Poverty can give us so much misery and unhappiness, yet to this Hill says:

“and all this despite the obvious truth that we live in a world of overabundance of everything the heart could desire, with nothing standing between us and our desires except lack of a definte purpose and the plans that derive from it.“

So what I want to know is who of you can now indentify with this fear of poverty, or have done so in the past? Write it here and let me know.
