From Judgment to Awareness

Much of the time, our choices are along the path of least resistance. What preserves our safety and comfort, the status quo. But if we want a better life than that, we can change what we choose. We can choose to stop compromising, to believe in ourselves and our values, to move forward with our lives guided by our own truth.

Today, I would like to introduce Rose Henry, an Irish lady who runs Intuitive Holistic Services, and has recently been reading my online book, Transforming the Mind. Rose requested that we get together to discuss the concepts and principles introduced within the book...

The past few weeks have revealed the worst and the best in human responses to the coronavirus crisis – from the supermarket hoarders clearing the shelves to the neighbourhood groups organising help for elderly and vulnerable people. Thank God for all of those who both care and put that caring into action.

I would suggest you don't simply conform to conventional ways of thinking, conventional ways of dressing, conventional ways of acting. You don't have to be like anyone else, and you don't have to be like anyone else wants you to be. Your individuality is sacred. To make the most of your life, express yourself without inhibition.

If we ignore small gradual erosions to privacy, especially in the name of convenience or safety, we risk a much larger overall loss that we aren't aware of until it's too late. It could be said, if you're doing nothing wrong, why should you worry about issues of privacy? However we each have personal and private lives that are nobody else's business, especially as such information could be misused for profit or manipulation.

Love always rules over fear because it reflects our true nature and power, and also attracts support from others and the universe. Instead of conforming to the expectations of others or trying to impress them, you will be inspired and most likely achieve both success and happiness.

There's so much that children need to know to live happy lives, which isn't taught at schools. Beyond reforming the educational system, our future depends on adults participating in self-directed ongoing learning to fill the gaps in their own education, and passing their knowledge on to their children from the earliest age possible.

Judging a person does not define who they are (for we really don't know), but it does question why we are so ready to make such assumptions - and what it is within us that we are projecting upon them.

In this podcast, I consider how to discover within ourselves what is true or false. To become fully awakened we need to be more aware of all the influences that bear upon our daily state of consciousness.

Gratitude is often overlooked or taken for granted. No big deal, just for birthdays. However, I feel that actually it is crucial. Indeed, it is the key to happiness.
