It’s real life

‘Old Father Thames’ by Philip Dodson

Take a moment, right now, this very instance and breathe, in slowly and out slowly. Notice your belly expand and contract as you take each breath. Breath in and out for maybe a minute or 5, it doesn’t matter, it only matters that you are aware of your breathing.

Sit still and listen, notice the background sounds like a ticking clock or birds tweeting, notice the smells, see without labelling it, just look.

Take this moment and repeat this for a few minutes and then notice what’s changed. Of course, if you feel more peaceful and calm, then you could choose to repeat this more often, in fact, as much as you can.

Consciousness is real life as it is only found in this moment, we can not be it in the past or the future, they are just fantasies of our minds

Changing the world, yeah right

We think that the world is too big for just ourselves to make a difference to change it.

The world is in our head. We decide the way we look at it. We see the world through the lens of our own mind and we alone control what that view is interpreted as.

If we believe the world is good, it is. If we believe the world is bad, it is.

We manifest our reality and therefore, we do not have to wait for anyone to change it. We can change it now, this moment, in an instance, the world is what we choose it to be.

A peaceful life comes from accepting the world as it is, we can’t change that, but we can choose how we react to it and how we see it, always.
