As I write David Cameron, the new UK Prime Minister, will meet with Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari. These men will make choices which may result in more death and destruction – OR their choices may lead to peace and prosperity.

Such choices have been made throughout history and have more often than not led to war, death and destruction. Did you know that countries seldom go to war against countries? Mostly it is one leader against another, or a small group of people making decisions to send whole nations to war.

Hiroshima should have been the end of all conflicts. But today’s meeting between Cameron and Zardari proves that the lesson has not yet been learned. Here are the leaders of two nuclear nations meeting to discuss the tensions between them. And the world looks on and waits for the outcome.

Alongside these tensions are the feelings of the masses which are being manipulated by the media. It is amazing how the hatred between Christian and Muslim peoples has risen in a few short years. And while the wars continue in Iraq and Afghanistan we wonder at the reasons behind it as news filters through of big industry fueling the invasions – and at what a price!

Is it really necessary to continue on the road of holding differences and pointing the finger at the other side? Hasn’t the death and suffering of Hiroshima been enough warning, and that of the much greater Holocaust? Are we still prepared to allow our sons and daughters be sent to unjust wars just to fill the pockets of a few with cash? Will we tolerate more death and destruction caused by the choices of a few?

Now is the time to reflect on our past and make a choice regarding our future. And by “we” I mean you and I and every human being on planet Earth. It is time to say “Enough!” The time is now when we each one must make a choice of the future we want on this planet. We must begin to project the world of peace and prosperity we each desire into the world of today. Our combined expectations and beliefs for a better future will influence the world and many are doing just that (e.g. http://www.care2.com).

What are you doing today? Are you going to increase destruction through worry, or are you going to bring peace to your world through positive intention?

What do you think about thoughts and feelings and their effect on the material world? Make a comment below or on my YouTube page (and give a thumbs up).

Comment and give the video a thumbs up at YouTube. Thanks.

Next question is: what is matter? Can thoughts affect matter?

Let me know what you think.

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.”

I believe in our spiritual nature, that we are made up of body, soul and spirit, or the physical, emotional and that something other which constitutes the real you and me, what I call our spirit. It is the connection to a greater Divine Spirit at this level which I believe is the source of all of our power and capabilities.

Think of everything as energy. Ask a physicist and they’ll tell you this is true. Everything in this world, the entire universe is only energy. Matter, the stuff we call physical – the stuff we can touch and sense with our physical senses, is also only energy. Everything vibrates at different frequencies; a rock vibrates a lot slower than water, and water is slower than air, and air is slower than light and light is slower than spirit. The rock, made up of atoms and electrons, like everything else, is really in constant movement. But to us it feels like it is not moving at all, but still and hard.

Even our thoughts are energy. When we think we are in fact sending out signals at a certain frequency. Anything vibrating at or resonating with that frequency will pick up that thought-signal, or resonate with it. This is the basis of the Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. So when we think bad and fear the worst we are in fact drawing those things towards us.

When we think positive thoughts and dwell on our desires which should benefit mankind in some way, we are resonating at spiritual frequencies. We are connecting with the Divine. This is why meditation is so helpful; it gets rid of all the noise of distracting and negative thoughts and allows us to focus our intention, our spiritual frequencies, on the single idea of our desire.

What do you think? DO you have an experience with this inner, spiritual power? Comment below.

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 “fixed” programming.

Did you know that your world, this physical reality we call “real” is in fact nothing other than a Matrix like reality? It’s true! Scientists have discovered what Lynn McTaggart calls The Field and what Gregg Braden calls The Divine Matrix, 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.

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 “read” 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 “physical” realm as in the movie.

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 “solid” 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.

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.

This whole Divine Matrix idea that everything is energy can be a scary thought. But if you can grasp it, the world is yours.

Have fun with this. Tell me what you think.

This was an challenge and exercise started on Twitter and Facebook on started 2^nd August 2009. Here is a collection of the blessings of each day and some of the comments received. Why not try it out and post your experiences?

Challenge for the next 30 days: Silently wish everyone you see or meet the best possible blessings. See what happens!

Day1:

Tracie
Do we have to do it silently?

Belinda
I think so … it shouldn’t be about ego …

Tracie
Not about ego at all…just letting people you meet know someone they may not know at all cares…making a connection

Belinda
Good point. Perhaps we can use it both ways? Not easy to make a connection with every person we encounter…

Tracie
No it isn’t easy, but it’s a great goal isn’t it!

Hakan
This is a fantastic exercise, the more you have gratitude & appreciation you give to others, whether they are aware or unaware, the more you will get in return.
While you do this exercise coming from a place of genuine intent, you will undoubtedly notice there will be changes in your body.
Could be more joyful, positive & uplifting.
By doing it for 30 days it automatically becomes a habit & you’ll find yourself doing it sub consciously.

Jim Murdoch
I started the day by wishing mentally blessing to everyone I saw, on the bus, the train, the tram, the street. Gets a bit busy. A group of school children got a sweeping blessing as I passed. Even the smelly old man who sat in front of me. It certainly beats being grumpy. You don’t have time to be grumpy, so many to bless. Yea, do it aloud too when you have the chance. Praise someone, or thank them, or just wish them a great day.
Let’s hear how it goes.

Blessing challenge: ran for tram today, door shut on my nose, wouldn’t open, tram drives off. Curse or bless? Bless him, higher awareness.
Did pretty well sending blessings out in all directions to anyone and everyone. Oh, must include wife and son

Day 2: Stay at home day – 30 day blessing. I can bless those out the window, those who come to mind. I can bless you. Have u blessed people today?

Tracie
Bless you too Jim! And everyone else who sees this post ;~)

Day 3: Who are you thinking about right now? No matter good or bad, bless them now! Wish them good things. Day3 of 30 day blessing challenge.

Laura
Wow. You got me on a hard one. It is done. I bless her.

Jim Murdoch
Good for you? Have you realized the blessings return multiplied?!

Laura
So far, an immediate blessing was a feeling of peace. I
think that it actually occurred at the moment of decision.
Haven’t yet noticed blessings multiplied but am convinced
they will. “She” will be included in my daily blessings for
awhile.

Day 4 of 30 day Blessing. I bless those who have the annoying pop-ups on their sites preventing you from closing the window

Day 5: Bless my wife for making me lunch even so she only eats fruit today. She’s a darling. @katharizo

Day 6: Bless Google Chrome programmers, my Chrome browser crashed and lost all my open tabs. Don’t you just love 2 bless rather than curse?

Here’s one for you all. Go to the mirror and say: In spite of all the crap, I love you unconditionally. I believe in you!

Day 7: I bless my Mastermind – great friends, great thinkers, great achievers and great inspiration

Day 8: Continuing to bless just whoever falls into my eyesight or my thoughts. How about: Bless the tax collectors?

Day 9: Kindness is one of your wonderful traits, but where you really shine is in your generosity. Neale Walsch – Fits well with 30 day blessing

Day 11: Good morning friends Day 11 Bless your boss today! Yes even if he/she is one of those. Just bless them. Now enjoy the bliss free from anger.

Day 19: Bless the Italian worker at the train station who was friendly and told us when the next train was arriving. The Blessing challenge!

Day 20: How about blessing those who prepare our food, bring it to the stores, and make it available to us? Time to eat lunch.

Day 21: This fits in well for day 21 of my 30 day Blessing Challenge. Be grateful for all the good, bless and be blessed. Have fun dancing!

The Original Gratitude Dance! (www.TheGratiDudes.com)

http://www.TheGratiDudes.com We started the Gratitude Dance out of moment of celebration at a coffee shop in Victoria, BC while writing our book on Manifesting Awesomeness. Out of this little jig came the idea to film it and put it on Youtube. …

Day 22: Bless the people who did bad things to make you lose your job, your home, your money. U don’t wanna curse them! That comes back to you

Doug
Yes, Jim, you are right. What we give out comes back to us.

Tracie
By blessing them you’ll find getting around the boulder they put in your stream a bit easier…and the waters on the other side much more smooth running than the ones you were in before it happened!

Day 23: Bless the mobile phone company, even when the signal isn’t what it should be. – Are you blessing all those you meet?

Day 24: People who make fake profiles -dare we bless them too? “Father forgive them. for they Know not what they do.”

Day 25: Time to bless our friends – the joyful, the woeful, the annoying, the loving, the draining, the giving – bless them.

Day 26: Now we hit the mother in law sisters brothers cousins & all- bless them, wish them the best they can possibly have. R u feeling it?

Day 27: 30 days are almost up. Is there anyone you missed whom you know you ought to bless? Do it now! Feel the energy coming back.

Day 28: Bless those who encourage others to reach for their dreams. It’ll help you reach yours.

Day 29: Bless those who serve: hairdresser, doctor, dentist, judge, lawyer, politicians, presidents, ministers, cleaners, soldiers!

Day 30: Bless God! Yes! That too will return to you. How did go for you? Feel the blessing return? Now keep on blessing. Never stop.

Think about what this is doing, what is happening. Your thoughts are an energy force being projected out into the cosmos. It’s like a radio signal being broadcast into the air. It goes out generally in all directions, although in some specialized cases radio waves are directed and concentrated in one particular direction. Thoughts are just like this, although they are a completely different type of energy. Whenever you have a random thought, that thought is being projected out into space. Scientific experiments prove that thoughts are not restricted by time, they are simultaneously present at all places and the same time. Some even suggest they are present also at all times, that is outside of time. Thoughts, like bundled radio waves, can also be directed, or targeted, in certain directions, or towards certain targets or subjects.

Now, if this is so, then thoughts about a person are instantaneously sent out not only to that person but to any similarly resonating energy which is out there. So if you think accident, intending that to happen to the other person, watch out, for your thought will attract and be attracted to that of similar vibration, that is to accidents. This means that if you think “accident” often and intensely enough, you will in fact attract an accident to yourself.

It sounds odd, but it is a fact, that what you think about will come about. Thoughts are energy and in this field of energy like attracts like. A certain sound frequency will resonate, be attracted to, another object which vibrates or resonates at the same frequency. Hence the famous glass being shattered by the opera singer. Everything is energy. Even your body and the things around you, no matter how solid, they are all energy. There is nothing really solid, that is only an apparent physical trait. In reality even a rock is made up of fast moving bundles of energy with lots of space in between. To us, from our perspective, the rock looks solid, feels solid, and is solid. But look closer, if you could, and you would observe only pure energy in its various forms.

So next time you think bad about someone, stop and think about what you are drawing to yourself. Is that what you really want for yourself? Probably not. Then it’s best to stop right there and wish your worst enemy good, for that is what will ultimately return to you. Cast your bread upon the waters and it will return to you. It’s ancient wisdom.

Stay cool, wish well and love more.

Can you put the change that must be made into one sentence?

I already have several times.
You must stop seeing God as separate from you, and you as separate from each other.”
