2. We Are All Essential
Transcript: 2. We Are All Essential
Now I know I am an essential part of our communities feeling this message promoting our essential nature is my responsibility. I always believed it is, but only when I could accept that:
We Are All Essential
I have taken what I would describe as a relatively “Spiritual” pathway in my lifestyle choosing to integrate or synthesise a diversity of worlds like that of a shaman, a religious adept and an everyday consumer. It has been my mission to communicate a view embracing all worldviews. This has all ways been my business. It is perpetual.
I have lived in a world where I was told to keep my business to myself. But I saw this can be the cause of our disease. Keeping it to myself, meant my business couldn?t expand the awareness of anyone of what I have to bring. Having held this intention to encourage the acceptance of diversity all my life, the research and observations through my experiences enhancing my knowledge would not be of value if I didn?t share it.
So here is my business, a journey of Adventures in Communication growing in change.
At around 7 years old I decided I would be an entrepreneur, I would be willing to take risks to bring new innovations and initiatives to the community that would assist us with the problems we are experiencing. Bad business creates problems. Good business solves problems with solutions.
I noticed the diseases around me. People given labels for their changing conditions, choosing symptomatic relief, neglecting new awareness of how they had come to experience the state they don?t like.
I have been truly puzzled why many people I observe don?t tend to seek to deal with the cause of their difficulty. Why don?t they ask why? Or how? I saw them make choices and act upon advice exacerbating their conditions, beginning to believe it’s normal to not be in a state of health. I too had come to believe this as I saw my own vitality become lethargy, fatigue, recurrent illnesses and injuries as an athlete still at school.
I realised I was trying to escape from something. The more I did, the less I seemed to be able to affect in my change, the more I proved I was doomed to die soon. I had been told stories of others who had overtrained and stressed themselves to a point of death.
I decided this was not my path.
I made a decision.
I made a decision to remember I am making my decisions.
I decided to be the master of my decisions.
I began to notice a lack of respect for the sovereignty of my own decisions. I found my life was being influenced by systems of thought I had not actually chosen myself, or at least I now knew I believed this. I believed I had to conform to something other than how I essentially saw my self.
At school I was a model student in conduct, respect and involvement. I did my best to do the right thing according to the rules. I was shown respect by those administering the laws and had no memorable reason to have a problem with the authority operating in my life. I happily accepted the authority under the auspices of it being good discipline. I was led to believe it was healthy to be told what to do. I lived in a world where my direction was influenced by sources coming from school, parents and other authority figures.
As an insightful individual I observed all people. I would see the state of health and happiness presented, the way they described life and how they responded to me.
As I was finishing school I was going out into the world feeling tired and confused, yet inspired and enthused, to master my condition. With many people becoming more unhealthy every day, I saw important solutions in our world are all about our own health.
So what is the cause of dis-ease?
Surely on some level I had done this to myself. I created a problem in my poor health and now realised I had to fix it. If my life was going to be sustainable, happy and healthy I decided I would have to let go of any other endeavour until I could restore and maintain vibrant health. And there I stood on the threshold of the rest of my life taking responsibility for my direction.
I found my search for healthy pathways brought me to spiritual spaces. These people in places would share spiritual topics on how to be healthy. It seemed there was something spiritual missing in the world I had grown in as an average normal suburban life.
What did it mean to be spiritual?
Immediately upon graduation from school in Canberra I moved to the Gold Coast. Within a year my life had become clearly separated. There were some things I couldn?t tell anyone about. I was under instruction by my guide to not speak of my spiritual studies. I was so used to being honest and sharing my life that now some of my life had to be a secret. There was a reason for this condition. The choice to be spiritual has been known to be threatening to other people?s version of spiritual.
Here I saw a pattern. If health was related to being spiritual and the more spiritual I became, the more secret it became?how was I going to share my business? My intention to share my knowledge, the business in my creation process, for others to become healthy was in trouble?
Something had to change, but why change?
I felt it was a valid choice to bring healthy solutions to community, but I was in a bind, so I left the spiritual studies and moved to Brisbane to live a “normal” life. It wasn?t long and I had a girlfriend who I lived with for two years. We lived average consumer lifestyles and socialised with regular friends.
In the social interactions during this time it began to dawn on me that insight and understanding gained throughout my life was of potential value to people presenting particular problems. I knew if they wanted a solution, it was here already. However without a label or any official accreditation, therefore no recognised authority none of my observations seemed to be seriously taken. And my confidence was shaken. Though I’ve seen through
I came to fully know these people may have been listening, but were not hearing what I was saying. The chief difficulty became clearer. Maybe we all had the solutions but we just weren’t able to hear each other? There was too much going on in and around us generally to take the time to be here now with each other. Somehow we believed whoever was in front of us wasn’t important.
And so we turned away with no respect.
I have sought respect questioning what it means to have respect. To “re-spect”, To look again. To remain open and receptive to them. To withhold judgements and conclusions meant an openness to what each other were truly offering. Now I know the more I do this, the more pleasant surprises present themselves.
I create conditions for friends in which they can feel free and appreciated, allowing them to be their true happy selves. I make it as clear as possible to everyone I respect their truth. And now I write these words, convinced they are simple solutions as I have observed them in my own relationships.
I have never had to agree with everyone, because I know my worldview only exists because theirs does. I have known the difference is the most important fact. It would be unhealthy for us to completely agree, because we have had completely unique lives, perspectives and relationships. And within this acceptance comes evolving abilities, to be able to comprehend a world that differs from your own.
And here I find health.
Amongst all the diversity of problems I present one simple solution. You will see it now. You know it is now you will see it.
It works when we work.
What does work mean?
When something works, it functions well. It operates according to what it is designed for?
So when humans work, we are in good health. Our bodies function. We are well. Anything that isn?t that, isn?t wholly human.
There is being a machine and then there?s being a human. The latter is a healthy state of being. A human doing is repetitive and a human being is creative. A machine doesn?t have emotion, a human is all ways in motion. To know you are human is to be in good spirits. You know you have spirit and you enjoy how life changes in this way?
It is a joy to be aware of another?s world, to be given the privilege is a beautiful thing. So what were we afraid of in each other? Here we were and you actually believed we didn?t have each other?s best interests at heart? We fought, even tried to destroy each other through fear and insecurity. We were manipulated by ideas contrary to what each of us really wanted to share:
Love.
We were so convinced we actually created this scenario? we created it!
Now we are re-creating it. We can accept our response ability. We actually managed to believe everything we believed at one period or another and then it was the truth, which has changed. The truth changes which is the truth. So the truth is in the change.
How do you relate to the change because it is the only guarantee that will be with you all ways?
If there were any discipline that would see us work in life, I saw it would be to flow within change through heartfelt decisions.
So the healthy discipline I have continually refined is living my heart?s knowing. Feeling what my heart truly wants and honouring that. Then I found myself lying to people. I?d tell them one thing because I believed that was what they wanted to hear, then my actions would make me a liar as I didn?t speak my heart. I compromised my integrity, I made my word weak for it wasn?t backed with the substance of conviction in my deeds. There was inner confusion.
So I made a decision? I have kept making the decision:
To be harmonious.
Internal confusion doesn?t feel harmonious and this state affects the lives of those around me. I now see one of my greatest responsibilities is to change toward harmony because of the disharmony I have been creating around me. I was part of the problem. I was experiencing the problem. Truly I was the problem. But only the problem when I didn?t acknowledge the problem as I would then have the tendency to blame others for ?the problem?.
My problem was I was focussed on the problem caused by me not dissolving the cause. And the cause was I believed there needed to be a problem. Now I choose not to have a problem because the solution is simple. The problem was too complicated so I had to let it go.
Now I choose to be simple.
I have believed my suffering was caused by others not sharing my abilities. I was led to believe I needed some sort of prior qualification to be taken seriously. During my growing years I repetitively experienced the face value of my honesty not being enough. I had been led to believe what I have to express had to be complicated. I found the preoccupation on a piece of paper was the symptom of our loss of trust in each other.
I have chosen to be without a qualifying piece of paper here now. I will let others give me pieces of paper for me being me. Now you?ve got a piece of me with this CD. You could see it as my CV.
I choose to retain the integrity of my own chosen energy to support the creative projects I know I have the capacity to contribute to for our society. At no point in time do I feel it was reasonable to believe I am not qualified to make positive differences in the areas of society I would love to work in. I see the convention of education changing.
Yet I spent many years being defined by others, needing their guidance and acceptance. I had learnt to expect I had to fit into other people?s worlds. I had taken on habits that meant I diminished myself when we communicated. I would limit what I would share about myself, then we were both misinformed.
So my qualification is here now. I am being me so you can be you. And I expect respect knowing I give respect for your diverse self.
I will treat you as I will treat my self,
With love and joyful acceptance.
I am a human, being like you.
And when you be you
Like your self
And we can all like you too.
We are all one working together
And we know this is true.
Look beyond all the pieces of paper
And hear each other?s truth
It will bring you abundant health?
Hear
Eternal happiness
Is in our shared breath?
