Sunny days and the sea

Posted on by philipdodson

We all have periods in life that are challenging, where we are being tested by the universe, where we are growing and changing. Life is like the sea, we can not control it, and it comes in and out. There are ups and downs in our journeys, which is not for us to control.

All we can control is what we do about the ups and downs and the sea is a great healer and great teacher.

I spent today by the sea, I went for a swim, the waves and currents were powerful. It was a reminder of the force of nature, a reminder that I can not control things beyond myself. It was also very nourishing, and healing. The feeling of the cold water was energising. It reminded me that I am alive in this moment and in this moment is life itself, not all the worries and problems of the mind, just pure simple and beautiful life. It is also a reminder that we can overcome our fears and we can gain the greatest joy from the simple things.

I felt all my thoughts washed away as I struggled with the waves and the strong current…exhilarating and healing.

Then I sat on the beach and then walked along the seafront in the sun. The sun and its energy were equally nourishing and energising for my mind, body and soul.

A swim, the sea and the sun are all pure regeneration and just simply being is complete joy.

The answers to life

Posted on by philipdodson

The answers to life we already know, from the day we are born to the day we die. We have all the wisdom that we will ever need, we have all the wisdom of the universe. When we realise this, we can allow the universe to guide us, we are the universe.

We confuse facts and information etc with intelligence. We have trillions of cells within our body that are crammed full of intelligence, we are a ball of energy, and we are one of the incomprehensible numbers of multiple parts of the universe.

We are the universe, not this separate life that we have been conditioned to believe. We have intelligence way beyond our human mind, which is an incredible creative tool. We are the knower.

If we want to know the answer we just have to look within ourselves, we have to connect to the unmanifested within ourselves that is our gateway to the universe, the source, the place where we will always belong. Feel not think.

We know the answer and yet we allow our minds to overrule us, sabotage us and to prevent us from doing what we know is right for us.

We have to trust ourselves, we know.
