Totality

Totality is full expression in all of it’s form. Such a thing can only come from now – it exists in the newness or wholeness of all that is. In order to do this we have to let go- let go of any thought of what was or ought to be.

So it is to just be here, in every moment. Wherever you are, be there, be whole, be as one. All that was in learning and in life is gone. How can anything new ever come fully without letting go of this old, without fully letting go?

In the here and now, in all that is you find truth and it’s only here that the flow exists. It is here you can truly be and become all you can be. Therefore trust in the process in order to let go and flow completely.

In totality you find both good and bad, light and dark and in accepting this all becomes one, it’s there you see the truth, beyond all. Nothing else ever was, it was only ever a masking.

This way in between, in the space, is the way to follow, a way of being. It’s the balance, the truth and it only exists in the now. It is here that all preconceived thoughts and notions are let go of and all then comes from the one truth where anything is possible. Nothing is ever wrong or right, it just is and this is where peace is found.

Thinking in terms of judgement from the past or future is to split the whole, a whole which in reality cannot be split. To know one is to know the other and in acceptance there is full control – All seeing.

This is where you become truly free, with no fixed notions. You are only the knowing and seeing.

Blocks or splits in division, whether that be past/future, me/them, this/ that , better/worse cause conflict from within and out. This conflict is simply denial of the totality or the ISness of life, therefore then disallowing the truth to appear.

The fight within

You’ve beaten it,
You’ve beaten them
The fight outside,
Is the fight within;
Know then,
That if you so choose;
You will always win

~ M.L Adams ~

See all

See all as it is
Be with all
Hear all as it is
Be with all
Feel all as it is
Love all

Be here right now,
Not over there
See what’s here right now,
Not back then
Appreciate all as one;
See within

Love all as they are
See the truth
Love all as they are,
All as one

Know that nothing’s ever wrong
All is one,
Know that nothing’s ever wrong;
Be the whole 💗

Fighters sight

When you look at fighters what do you see?
I see energy, purpose and passion,
I see love beating ever faster
Overcoming that which got in the way,
To reach a resolution that may never be said,
To move beyond,
That which may have always stayed
On to a place far more beautiful,
Far more clear;
Away from any pain,
Or hurtful tears
To move on to true beauty; in heartfelt peace 🙏

Detachment and Attachment

After practicing Jeet Kune Do for the last 3 months I’ve found myself having some philosophical insights and reflections after classes, so I’ve decided to add this as a regular topic on my blog in hope these insights may also be of some inspiration to you.

The following is my latest insight, please do share your thoughts and comments too. Thank you. 🙏

Detatchment and Attachment

Ultimately it’s about detachment, in detachment you have conscious awareness and control. You are able to direct your energy where it is you choose to go.

Find and attach as you need and is right to do, at the right timing and then let go.

You are your own unit of conscious energy, learn and trust in your directing of it. Only then can you be equally aware of where others are and what they are doing.

In order to not be directed, you need to be detached in the sense that you are the observer – to direct, you need to be in control, in charge of where you are at all times, always- knowing.

From here you are really in a position to guide and teach others because you can see all and be all- you can adapt, direct & let go.

This is full awareness from the ultimate whole – it sees all – it’s not in a fixed position – it flows, it adapts. Be like water therefore, don’t attach, be the flow, always moving, flowing, adapting and changing. Always letting go.

In letting go you find new things, new ways- you open your mind. You are never fixed or stuck but always moving as you need to, just like water.

Sometimes you may direct and sometimes you are directed, sometimes it is still and balanced but it is never fixed. Everything changes and has to change otherwise it does not grow.

Water within is always centred but it adapts as it needs to- to the environment- to the one it’s with. To learn, grow and move, it adapts, it follows. Only then may it rise and as it’s stronger it can guide rather than be guided.

Trust within that you do and will adapt and flow just as you need to do, that your energy is one, always is and always will be. Therefore use your mind, trust with feeling that wherever you go is the right way, as you are always learning.

Resistance

If you’re resisting something
Or someone else
Then you’re resisting yourself
Here as you are,
Where you are,
Right now

If you do find this so,
Then simply let go
Set yourself free;
Come back to your flow

~ M. L Adams

Energy is everything

IMG_8485.JPG

“Energy is everything, what we focus on or hold on to, we become.”

As energy is everything, the importance of conscious energy direction is vital yet something we can so easily forget. We are however most often in a position to consciously direct it.

This is because we are always in a state of choice, whether we are consciously choosing however is something else. There is a large amount of influence to be followed and this can happen to us in many situations, where we can get pulled in one direction or another without much conscious awareness.

It is possible however to be in a state where we allow ourselves to see that we do always have a choice, even if in that moment it may not at first appear so.

A great place to be in is one of balance, where we are not pulled in one direction or another but completely in charge or our own state. This may be called one of the observer. When you are in this state of balance then you know you are in the drivers seat of your life and choosing where you want to go.

This way you are always conscious and rarely if ever unconsciously directed. It is important however that we practice continuously to be attentive to our own energy state.

To do this the best way I have found is to step back and look at a situation or energy state, and consider “is this useful or wasteful to me.” We are then free to redirect our energy on to where it is best placed.

There is never any point in attaching ourselves to that which is wasteful, when we can choose to focus on that which is beautiful, creative and productive instead. Everything starts from within and is then directed out so by consciously choosing we take back the power that is truly ours and create our lives as we choose them to be completely.

Your energy is you, so place it where it is most valuable to you, and make it most meaningful. Then you will know that you’ll never have a wasted day or even a wasted moment, for it will be you that is fully in charge of your energy flow. ❤

Fight with certainty

It’s the fighter in me,
The winner, you see
I will always keep going; no matter what!

However many times I get knocked down,
I will always get back up!

This is why I know for certain;
That whatever tries to stand in my way,
I will break through it and win, no matter what!

They may kick me;
Or even try to break me,
But I will always rise to the top!
