What if that which you were holding on to,
Or resisting against,
Was never real anyway
And if you were to simply let go
That is how you would fly 💕

The gateless gate
There is no gate,
Nothing to climb over
Your mind is already open
You’re always here;
In the moment
With an open heart,
A knowing soul
Your always here;
In your flow ❤

Ways of being
A persons behaviour or pattern of being is never fixed,
To place this limit on another is to place it on oneself,
To realise this is to realise a deeper truth,
That where you come from is the ultimate You,
And all that you are here, is that which you choose 🙏
– M. L Adams
The way to freedom
How do we find true freedom?
This question is one that concerns me for all because it can often mean something different for everyone and then consciously or subconsciously that’s how we end up seeking it. The need or feeling to be free is like an innate drive within us, the great thing is however that it can be fulfilled far easier than we may realise.
So how?
Firstly it’s begins in our minds, this is where all freedom and focus starts, we can actually be in what may be perceived by others as a limiting situation and still feel very free.
So what is most important in our minds is how we are focusing and where it’s coming from;
For example- if our focus is coming from a past painful experience that we are wanting to move away from- this can actually limit us far more than free us. The reason being is that the very act of moving away from something already has a limit tied within it, because it’s linked to pain, although this can be a drive in some way, the fear and pain are still there.
Alternatively when moving towards freedom – you are driven by a cause and in addition having accepted or healed any pain left behind. So even though the pain may initially have drove you it is the cause that than enables you to seek and find the way to freedom both within and out.
Faith is also very important and is really a prerequisite to finding true inner freedom, for without it fear can still be the driver and therefore limiting the way forward.
If we look at some of the great examples, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Daisaku Ikeda they have all been driven by a great cause, that allowed them to achieve great outcomes and freedom not only for themselves but for many along with them.
We too can follow in their footsteps and have this type of true freedom creating beautiful waves along with us, when we base our lives on such a cause. 🙏

A course in miracles
Today I have reached the end of a years learning with A Course in Miracles. It is the end but as with all endings it is also the beginning.
As I reach this point of learning I also recognise that it was more of an unlearning, of all that is not true, all that is not whole.
If I was to give you one main lesson I have taken from this course, it would be this; That you already are everything, already are whole, you are what you’ve been seeking. Yet along life’s journey we can get caught up in an illusion that covers our truth, one that can easily be cast aside in any moment.
In each moment we always have a choice, that is whether to see through illusions or come from our truth.
In that we can see ourselves as either powerless based on fear,
Or as the truth,
The known, the love we really are, all of us, as we were born as.
Being as creators and teachers in all we do.
We always have this choice. ❤
All is here
Only here is now
Only now is here
All is here
As one,
I am here,
As Love

Order and Flow
Each thing or being is created unique and whole as it is in its truth and oneness. Therefore to resist or reject any part of it in any moment of the journey is to reject the self and also the whole, resulting in a sense of disharmony.
How then to maintain some order and unity in the process of natural flow? As we are a thinking/ meaning creating being the only way I have truly found is through Faith. This I believe is because we can so often be caught up in having to do or be in a certain way, in a world of comparison or duality which in reality is just concepts. All is simply choice. Therefore we choose which way to follow and flow through the direction of our intention.
We are all created unique and will therefore follow a unique path, this is not necessarily set but directed through our own personal intention and experience and ultimately the meaning applied to it. With the capacity of higher consciousness and awareness then order can be both a natural flow and one with an intention applied to it along with Faith.
Without Faith, disunity and resistance can occur. With faith you apply your own internal creative ability in harmony with the external to create a natural flow towards your goal.
The faith then allows it to happen. Without either faith or some external order applied then things do still happen as a natural occurrence but are not directed towards a specific end as well as they may be otherwise. So it is then the blend of the two that create a natural harmony and balance towards achieving your goal.
“Direct intention and yet have faith you will be guided towards your goal, there you will flow as naturally as does occur with all nature in its growth.”
The flow way
To be here and now
Forever one becoming,
This is the flow way 💗

I am
I am life expressed in all its completeness,
I am beauty, I am love;
I am nature
I am life expressed in all it’s is’ness
I am you,
I am me; I am everything
It is here and now you will see me,
Look around, look within,
I am here; I am everything 💗

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.
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 💗
