The ego fills our minds with
Grab, grab, grab.
I want, I want, I want.
That`s MINE
I wish, I wish, I wish.
I`m better than you
You should, should, should
My way, not your way
Take, take take
Money, money, money
I need this
I need that
More, more, more
Look at me, look at me
I`m wonderful
I`m better than you
Look, look, look at me
My clothes are beautiful
Look at my skin
I`m thinner than you
I`m rich, rich, rich
Then on the other hand
Poor me, poor me
Nobody loves me
Everything is dark
Pain, anger, pain
I hate, hate, hate you
You did this to me
It`s all your fault
Misery, hate, misery
Suffer, suffer, sufferer
It rains when there should be sun
Cry, cry, cry
Understanding there is none
Trying to create love and self-worth. Filling a void.Filling a lack. Unsatisfied. Disconnected. Superficial.
The two lowest chakras when out of balance create more greed, lust, a feeling of lack, the need to control. Like a spinning ball out of control these states can create instability, havoc, pain and more suffering for everyone. These lower chakras are all about survival.
Wrong diet can add to the inbalance, along with lack of exercise and lack of quiet time.
When we are out of balance the ego takes control, serving itself.
The ego relies on our senses to give us temporary excitement and satisfaction, separating us from the divine being that we truly are - the authentic self. The soul continously searches for wholeness and harmony.
We are all wanting peace, joy and love. Some think that money can give them that, but it doesn`t.

| The Grand Illusion 1 |
We actually are truly happy when we are co-creating - not just with our partners and friends, but with all life.
This is when we begin to open up to love again.
I think that is why so many people take refuge in the garden. Gardening allows us to reconnect with the magic of God`s creations. When amongst nature we can see, and feel, (experience) the laws of nature. The bees working with the plants, the ants clearing away dead matter, the butterflies helping to pollinate, the birds singing, their song helping to open the flower petals ready for the bees and the gentle breeze carrying seeds and pollen to be reborn as food and new life. Falling leaves create hiding places for insects, and food for the soil and for future growth of the tree,whilst at the same time protecting the earth from the cold, or dry, winter air. Birds collect twigs from the trees to build their nests in the Spring. Each provides something for those other than themselves. All work together building and creating a harmonious, balanced whole. Can we learn from nature?
If we became less self-serving, and thus more whole, co-operating with others, instead of competing, we would find ourselves becoming more fulfilled and satisfied.
UNITY IN DIVERSITY
Yes, if we stopped judging, and started listening to, and respecting, other`s point of views and individuality, maybe the world would start singing instead of fighting.
If we felt respected for who we are, instead of what we 'have', then maybe there would be less greed and less need to pollute our beautiful Mother Earth.
It is only our insecurity and lack of self-worth that controls our need for more, more, more.
If we allowed ourselves to love, instead of judge, then love would be given back and we would feel more whole. We would enjoy the differences rather than be irritated by them.
CHANGE IS JUST A THOUGHT AWAY
We live in a sea of information. All information is interrelated. We are in fact connected to everything and so being all our thoughts and actions impact on the whole. Once it was thought that we were a sea of subatomic particles swimming around in heaps of space. Now it is known that electro magnetic fields fill the space and respond to our thoughts and words, more so if they are charged with emotion.
Everything we do impacts the whole.
We usually are so small minded that we only see, or experience, that which we think is about ourselves, but in fact isn`t. Everything now seems to be all to do with $$$$$.
The greedier we become the more it effects not only those who have not much food etc but also our Earth and it`s future populations.Families don`t have loving, nurturing time with their children and community as they are too busy trying to make dollars to 'survive'. Children that have felt the lack of love now roam the streets filled with anger which in turn creates fear. and so it goes on.
Thoughts can create anger and hatred, disappointment,depression and sickness, or happiness and creativity.
LOVING THOUGHTS create harmony within and harmony all around.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS STOP
If we could all stop and listen to nature. Stop, and give loving time to our children and our Earth. Stop and have time to share with a neighbour. Stop and listen. Stop and have some soft, peaceful, nourishing time.
TAKE TIME OUT
* Look at and enjoy nature. Really look without judgement. How was -- formed? The magic of birdsong.
* Listen, really listen to your child, spouse, neighbour
* Plant a plant, nurture it and watch it grow
* Eat loads of vegetables and fruit. Be grateful. Cut down on sugar, caffiene, carbonated drinks, pastries, smokes, fried foods. Drink water
* Do something for someone each day without expecting, or looking for anything in return
* Watch yourself and your moods, judgements, wishes (just take note)
* Have a bath, massage your feet and hands. Enjoy you.
* Say ThankYou for the gift of life, for a roof over your head, for your job, partner, water, sun, food etc.
* Arrange a neighbourood Xmas gathering - maybe drinks? BBQ? Break down barriers.
Insist on others doing what is right
Is to paralyse oneself
To walk in the forest
Without seeing beauty
Is to walk alone
To walk alone in the forest
Seeing beauty
Is to walk with God
I have watched, and witnessed, incredible changes in many people over the years. These changes went out into the world.
I rented and lived in an old motor mechanic shed that my partner and I had renovated. It`s a long story but somehow 'The Shed' ended up becoming a community centre. Many, many people visited and brought their problems along with them. We often held workshops to do with Quality of Life and for payment we asked for people to either go out into the community and do some voluntary work, work in our extremely productive garden or in our fast growing library, or maybe cleaning the local walking tracts. We were about love in action so this was one way that we could break the ice, so to speak. Most people who came weren`t into any voluntary work.
Once unity in diversity was established and once people started to volunteer for community activities a huge change in individual self-worth took place. With this new found self-worth along came time for themselves and their families! I saw many people change after they started work in the garden. Working together, co operating, sharing stories and time, listening to each other always resulted in laughter and joy.
No jealousy, hatred, greed, anger, depression only happiness and satisfaction and inner joy.
Before people left our 'Living Planet Quality of Life Resource Centre' there was one thing everyone had to do. Everyone had to go to the meditation pit and put their hands on the 'Blessing Stone' (a lump of quartzite given to us in Alice Springs) and say thankyou to Mother Earth.
Here`s cheers
Until next time
LOVE CMW
