			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want inspiration. I need answers. I want to know the right thing to do. Have you had these and similar questions going through your head? You analyse, you look at the pros and cons, you search for ideas and evidence, yet you still can&#8217;t make up your mind if the particular move you have in mind is right or not. Perhaps it is a decision over a relationship or a business deal, or whether you should contact that person or not. Whatever it is you wish someone would shout from heaven and just tell you the answer.</p>
<p>Right? Isn&#8217;t this what you have wished many times, many many times? What&#8217;s going on in your head? Where are the answers? Where do you expect the answers to come from? I tell you from where. From inside your head.</p>
<p>Does that sound amazing, or simply matter of fact. Of course the answers come from inside my head if no one else gives me an answer. What kind of answer is that? Well it&#8217;s not strictly &#8220;inside&#8221; your head, not there where all the intellectual thinking takes place. But the answer comes from inside you.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the difference? By &#8220;you&#8221; I mean the real being that is you, not the thinking physical being which is a part of you. The real you consists of several parts, or layers or levels of consciousness. There is the conscious mind, that part of you which you are aware of, the thinking you. Then there is the Sub-conscious mind. That is the part of you which is responsible for your habits, your  reactions and mind patterns. It is here, in the sub-conscious mind, where essential paradigms are formed, maintained and replaced. The sub-conscious mind is also that part of you which is connected to every other sub-conscious mind. We are all connected on this level and it is from here that information can be retrieved from other minds. Ideas are formed and the right people and situations are attracted.</p>
<p>But there is another, higher, part of your consciousness, that is the super-conscious mind. This is a hidden part, even more obscure than your sub-conscious mind. The super-consciousness is the part of you which has a direct link to to the Divine, to God, or the Universal Consciousness. Here is where true inspiration for new ideas and new ways comes from. The only problem is the intellectual mind, it is so busy thinking it doesn&#8217;t even know the super-conscious mind exists. Luckily we have the sub-conscious mind which can send messages to the super-conscious mind.</p>
<p>Here is how it works: First your conscious mind gets an idea, a desire, a plan &#8211; something it wants, something you want. Secondly the conscious mind, you, uses intention, repetition, affirmations, visualization and emotions to impress this desire, this image, onto the sub-conscious mind. Thirdly, the sub-conscious mind, now that it has a clear picture of what is desired (and it doesn&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s good or bad) passes this message to the Super-conscious mind, which processes it and gives it to the Divine. Next, fourthly, the Divine sends an answer via the super-conscious mind direct to the conscious mind &#8211; inspiration. At the same time the sub-conscious mind is attracting like vibrations. So &#8220;chance&#8221; meetings and unexpected circumstances, combined with the Divine Inspiration, all work together to produce the desired result.</p>
<p>But like I said, there is a problem. The busy thinking mind can&#8217;t communicate its desire clearly enough to the sub-conscious mind, nor can it hear the inspiration from the super-conscious mind.</p>
<p>Mind blowing? Tell me what you think below.</p>
<p>So what to do to get that answers, that important inspiration? Simply &#8211; shut up! Shut up your mind. Stop thinking, literally. Only by stilling the mind can you possibly hear what God has to say to you. And how do you quieten your mind? Focus! Focus on something still, like a nail head, a candle flame, a spot of the wall. Just focus and allow your mind to settle down. Accept but ignore any thoughts coming into your mind. Just let the waters settle. Stay focused and calm will return. Then and only then will your hear it &#8211;  the still small voice &#8211; speaking to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever felt like you don’t belong, you don’t fit in? Does your life constantly bang against the wall of conformity and crash against the common perception of life? This is what the authors of Wings of Change, Jim and Katharina Murdoch, were facing when their lives were turned upside down by unexpected events. How could life be any worse? Religion wasn’t meeting their needs, jobs weren’t meeting their needs, and to top it all along came a force which threatened to tear their family apart.</p>
<p>But they survived, not what could be said about their belief systems. “Our beliefs took a knock, a big knock,” says Jim. “One day we thought all our beliefs about God, life and the world were in order, then they were all turned on their head. Nothing has been the same since.” This was the turning point in their lives as they began to pursue the answers which had been avoiding them until now. And thus began a journey of discovery.</p>
<p>Their discoveries, uncovered independently as they each walked distinct paths, were complimentary and served to bind them together against all odds in spite of the forces threatening to pull them apart. Amazingly, their separate paths were uncovering the same truths and they found themselves agreeing more and more as they learned about God, the universe and consciousness.</p>
<p>The lessons they learned on their journey serve as an inspiration to the reader. You will read how they grew in awareness of who and what they are, how they learned to let go of old ways and paradigms and how to listen to their inner voice for guidance. The reader will benefit from their lessons of overcoming obstacles, daring to experiment with new ideas, realizing their purpose and acting on their new found truth to live the life they desire.</p>
<p>To help tell their story, Jim &amp; Katharina have been inspired to adapt a parable to highlight each chapter. Using a family of geese they intriguingly blend in their life’s experiences into the geese’s life and their pursuit of happiness in learning the V formation and daring to fly south.</p>
<p>Katharina sums it up, “The readers will have fun. It’s inspiring and they will learn something for life. There is hope for anyone. No matter how bad a situation may be there is wonderful hope.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the movie The Matrix, Neo is faced with the truth that the world as he knew it did not exist, but was a virtual reality created by machines to fool the human populace that their world is real and physical. Once Neo had grasped this truth he was able to eventually master the virtual environment just by &#8220;thinking &#8221; about it. If he needed anything he would give his order and the Operator would find the code and program it into Neo&#8217;s mind. This could be anything from abilities to objects.</p>
<p>As a master Neo could see The Matrix for what it truly is, a matrix of digital information. This gave him the ability to change that digital information and override certain &#8220;fixed&#8221; programming.</p>
<p>Did you know that your world, this physical reality we call &#8220;real&#8221; is in fact nothing other than a Matrix like reality? It&#8217;s true! Scientists have discovered what Lynn McTaggart calls <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006143518X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jissebl-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=006143518X">The Field</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jissebl-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=006143518X" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> and what Gregg Braden calls <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401905730?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jissebl-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1401905730">The Divine Matrix</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jissebl-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1401905730" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, a field of energy connecting everything in space and time. Physicists tell us that everything we know is made up with atoms and electron. Everything we can see and touch are only variations of thee vibrating elements. Even the stuff we smell, hear and feel are again vibrational energies interacting with our intimate field of awareness.</p>
<p>And here is where it gets really interesting: Thoughts are also energy! The whole scary conclusions which quantum physicists are talking about is that human intention can change matter. It has been seen in experimentation how deliberate intention of thought can effect how particles react. On a larger scale it is well know how thoughts can be &#8220;read&#8221; and transmitted instantly to other locations. Thoughts can brings about healing, or illness, can cause events to happen to being about a desire or a fear. Thoughts are energy and as such if directed and focused with intent can bring about change in the &#8220;physical&#8221; realm as in the movie.</p>
<p>When you break this understanding down to its simplest form, everything in our physical world is only energy. There is nothing really solid. Everything is made up with atoms and electrons, which are themselves not solids, but concentrations of energy. So your body is nothing more than a bunch of energy bundles all working together to produce your physical &#8220;solid&#8221; experience. And all that is held together through intent. If this is so, then all of life is only a series of bits of information, DNA, various programs of information all working together to create the living, physical reality we know.</p>
<p>If this is so, then you are Neo, and if you can grasp this understanding you too can manipulate your environment through deliberate intent of thought and sub-conscious feeling. It is at the sub-conscious level where the programming happens and it is these sub-conscious programs which control what we do, have and are. So if we want a different reality, different results, then we must change the programming. We do this through auto-suggestion, which is only a tool to get the sub-conscious mind to accept a new idea. Once that happens your actions will change, your words will change, your feelings will change and your results, your life will change.</p>
<p>This whole Divine Matrix idea that everything is energy can be a scary thought. But if you can grasp it, the world is yours.</p>
<p>Have fun with this. Tell me what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Paradigm is a mind-set, or mind pattern, or a set of ideas. For example, a long time ago it was a paradigm that the Earth was flat. That paradigm has changed. Another paradigm could be, &#8220;I can never be an artist,&#8221; or whatever. This paradigm also can be changed.</p>
<p>Paradigms determine how we think and react in given situations. Religion is a big paradigm, a given set of ideas. Science is a collection of other paradigms. Paradigms are all over the place, in our heads affecting the way we think. They determine our habits, our reactions, our actions, our thinking and even our feelings.</p>
<p>We learn to react and feel in certain ways when faced with certain situations. Someone stands on my toe, I may have learned to scream and fling out with my arm. Instead I can react much differently. Some may have learned to get angry or swear when something doesn&#8217;t go as expected, like it rains at the picnic, or a job is lost. These reactions can be different.</p>
<p>When you look at your life and how you answer people, react to news and circumstances, you will probably see a pattern which you can identify in many of the people around you. We learn to respond instead of react.</p>
<p>Another example of a paradigm is that illness comes form outside into my body. It is well researched and known that illness comes from within. Katharina, my wife, has studied kinesiology, which uses the muscle test to determine what the body has to say about the cause of an illness or emotional trauma, or stress. It is a method for tapping into the subconscious mind, which is, to keep it simple, a field of spiritual energy connecting us all together. It is known that our emotions, feelings over past events can cause illness, and when this cause is known the illness dissolves.</p>
<p>The Law of Attraction and the teaching surrounding this understands the presence of such a field of consciousness of which we are all a part. It is this consciousness which holds the universe together and has created this physical universe. Call it God if you like, it is the same thing. We are all joined or connected to God, and God dwells in each of us. This consciousness is part of our consciousness.</p>
<p>This is why it is possible to change the physical. The physical is controlled and subject to God, or Universal Consciousness. If we think and feel intensely enough we can change our environment. This is what makes miracles possible and healings. It is not a miracle, really, but appling other laws that exist in the universe.</p>
<p>Feelings, or emotion, is the language of this consciousness. It is our feelings which make things happen and can change our physical world. Consciousness isn&#8217;t limited by physical laws, it creates them, and the paradigms say this is a very physical problem and thinking can&#8217;t change it. This may be true in the physical realm, but in the spiritual realm, in the world of Universal Consciousness, in God&#8217;s realm, all things are possible.</p>
<p>Think of this as a kind of prayer, except you are not asking or begging, but making a clear and specific statement. &#8220;Ask the Father what you will and believe that you have it and it will be yours.&#8221; Jesus said this and it couldn&#8217;t be clearer. To sum it up, yes, healing is possible and it is our choice. Our thoughts and feelings determine the result. So what are we thinking and feeling? Maybe we need to change that in order to get the change we desire.</p>
<p>What is you desire? Are your thinking and your feelings getting you there?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you aware that you think in patterns? Did you know that most of your thinking is an automatic pre-programmed response? Ask yourself:<br />
&#8220;How many people react like me in a given situation?&#8221;<br />
A lot, right? Why is this? Why do so many people react this way, even say the same things in response to similar circumstances? It&#8217;s almost like people are robots, programmed to do and say certain things when certain circumstances fall into place. Actually this is quite close to the truth. The only difference being, robots are given a programme to respond to, we humans are programmed through our open mind at childhood. We actually allow the programming to come in, unawares.</p>
<p>Most of us have received this programming from our parents, siblings, playmates and it even continues with our workmates and friends. Such patterned responses become so habitual that we think they are just natural, that&#8217;s the way we just are, we can&#8217;t help it. Well, you can help it.</p>
<p>In an upcoming tele-seminar series I will be talking about such thought patterns, also known as paradigms. Paradigms are responsible for the results we receive and for the life we live, good or bad. In order to make the talks relevant and of interest I invite you to ask your questions here.</p>
<p>What pattern of thoughts plague you?<br />
What patterns do you recognise in your reactions?<br />
Can you recognise any thought patterns with a positive effect?<br />
What would you like to know about paradigms and their effect on your results?<br />
What have you tried in order to correct these effects?</p>
<p>Ask your questions here. I will endeavour to deal with them in one of my discussions.</p>
