The tug-of-war of polarity and duality is part of our conditioning, education and training. It pulls us to and fro creating dissention and unbalance. Good-bad, light-dark, female-male, love-hate, right-wrong, weak-strong, us-them, right-left, up-down, peace-war, safe-dangerous, rich-poor, mine-yours, white-black and the list goes on and on. This polarity pulls us apart and keeps us from discovering the beauty of one. It traps us in judgement and labels that pull us to one side or the other of the polarity game. By being pulled to one side or the other, we then stand our ground defending and protecting that side of duality. We are right they are wrong. This is right that is wrong. But what is right and what is wrong? Are they not really part of the same thing? If there was no right would there be a wrong? No, for if we stopped thinking something was right or wrong both labels would disappear. The situation would just be. When we allow ourselves to let things just be, we become closer to oneness.
It is this place of oneness where we will find peace, joy and love. In oneness there is no separation or differences. We are one and everything is part of us. The part is the whole and the whole is the part. We are a part of the whole and we are the whole. It stands to reason then that the way we look and think about the world is really a reflection of how we look at our selves. If we see the world as a chaotic divided place then that is a reflection of what lies within. For what is within reflects without, which is the same principle as “as above so below”. When we change our thinking from the polarity of good or bad and us or them, replacing it with a knowing that we are infinite oneness with everything then it is easy to see that we are the Creator and the Creator is us. By ending the polarity within, we end the polarity without and in its place create space for tolerance, peace and love. The task of changing this polarized world begins with the inner place of self. When we change the inner self by acknowledging our oneness to everything, we then are changing the whole. In this way the collective consciousness changes and we create a peaceful loving place to live. The place for answers is not outside but inside, inside each of us and only we, ourselves, can change the inside.

INFINITE POSSIBLIITES
For some time now I have been pondering the essence of our DNA. Deep within my centre of knowing there is a key here but one that, I sense, does not follow the lines of all that has so far been explained or discovered. I feel that in many ways we are once more being misled and lead down a garden path, so to speak.
I have read the theories of how we originally had more DNA, theories of alien manipulation of our DNA, the medical discoveries of how DNA plays a part in our human makeup, other theories of DNA harvesting and so on. But deep within my knowing I know there is more.
Recently this thread has been working its way into my knowing. We are told by scientists that we use only a tiny part of our brain, we are also told that we are only able to see and sense only a minute fraction of the matter that is around us, and we are told that most of the DNA within our bodies is junk DNA. I, for one, cannot accept that we have all of this within and it is useless and cannot be accessed. It is there, therefore it is meant to be used and it has a purpose. Is it among the remaining 80% of our brain, the 95% of our senses and the 95% of our DNA (all approximate figures) that the answers to all our questions are to be found? Is it here, in these unused portions of our being that lays the ability to transcend the physical, the ability for teleporting and telepathy, the knowledge of healing and the knowledge of all? I know that it is. That is why we are repeatedly told to go within for there all the answers are found. It is not in things outside us, our gurus, our leaders, our scientists, our rituals, our religions, and the all the other material trappings of this so-called 3-D world. It is all within.
What we see, feel and touch is really all an elaborate illusion of mind tricking us into thinking it is solid. We are trapped in it by believing it is solid and that this is all there is. It is our thoughts and mind that keep us from experiencing what lays beyond the illusion. We are trapped in the “I think therefore I am” framework. I have written before that thoughts create but thoughts also block. Thoughts which question, label, judge, compartmentalize and classify things block us from knowing. We use our thoughts through memory to experience this world. We cannot see, hear, feel or sense the other 95% of what is around us because it is blocked by our thoughts and memory bank of experiences which tells us it cannot be because we have not experienced it before. The mindless chatter of trivial things that keeps us away from our awareness of all the other great possibilities available to us.
When we stop the mind, open up to infinite possibility and are in a state of total awareness with no thought, no judgement and no labelling the most amazing things can happen. Let me share with you one personal example. In October 2004, I spent a night of pure magic on top Huayna Picchu mountain in Peru, a peak to the north of Machu Picchu. The following morning just after sunrise, my friend Kucho and I were sitting on a flat rock at the very top of the mountain. Kucho was lying next to me fast asleep in the warm sunlight and I was sitting cross-legged looking at the mountains in the near distance. I was in a state of no thought and completely relaxed in the moment, just observing. As I sat looking at the mountains, I felt a slight tingling running through my body, which I acknowledged but gave no thought. As I continued to gaze at the mountains they began to disappear. The only way I can describe what happened is to say that I saw or was aware of a pale green rain, which began above the mountain peaks, and as it slowly made its way down everything before me disappeared. A whole section of Andean mountains just disappeared. I sat for several moments watching, I cannot tell you how long I sat for in that state there is no time, but the instant I went to the mind and thought “Wow,” all the mountains returned. I have been shown the illusion of this world several times while in trance, but never, until that moment, had it happened in a totally present state. This is what we do not experience because the mind/thoughts block it from us, as it did as soon as I went into my thinking mind. Since then I have experienced the illusion of the 3-D world several times and always the moment I go back into thinking mode I find myself back in this 3-D reality. All of this is very hard to explain and unless one experiences them, very difficult for anyone to accept. All I will say in my defence is, it happens, of that I have no doubt. We are capable of these experiences but it is our thoughts, beliefs and fears that keep us from going there. But even more important than disappearing mountains and walking into other realities, what else could we do with this ability of changing realities? We really can change our reality! We can change the world we live in.
It is these experiences and knowing that 95% of our inner capacity is unused that gets me excited. It gets me excited because therein lies infinite possibilities. Our present limited mind and mental concepts cannot even being to imagine everything that is possible. Because we cannot fathom the possibilities that are waiting for us, we must let go of old outdated mental concepts and open up to what could be. It is not some outside force that we need to tap into, but the inner force that has the capacity to really transform our lives. The sad part is that many cling to this so-called solid world for fear of losing control. My question is, who is in control and who is being controlled? Fear holds so many back, the fear of the unknown, the fear of losing control, the fear of breaking out of the comfort zone, and I sense a fear of their own power. But if it is all an illusion, as I know it to be, then what really are we holding on to and why? Wouldn’t it be better to create a world without war, hunger, poverty, pollution and inequality? Create a world where we all live in peace, harmony, understanding and love or even more, a world of infinite possibilities.
No guru, method or practise can really teach this to anyone. At best the various methods and practises can provide some general guidelines, but we should not become a slave to these methods and practises. We need to be flexible and open and allow ourselves to explore the infinity of possibilities that await us. Each of us must find it ourselves by going within and being totally present and aware. Once you do find this source within you will not need to rely on anyone or anything for you will KNOW! Once you know that is all there is.

A Journey Without Expectations
Many people have asked me how I have achieved this state of calm and peace. When I am asked this question I get the impression that what I am really being asked is “How can I have it too? Show me the way.” Everyone can have it, but the important thing to know is that it is not the destination that is important but all the steps along the way. We have heard many times that it is not the destination that is important but the journey. This is so true, but the problem is that we live in a world that has become used to quick and easy gratification, so we lose sight of the journey and only see what we want to achieve at the end of it. We are in a hurry to get to the destination but forget to take time to look and enjoy the scenery along the way. Each and every road has its charm and lessons; no one road is the correct road for all. If we do not have fun and enjoy each part of the path how can we then expect to enjoy the destination? We wait for enlightenment or spiritual revelations thinking that this is all there is. This is a destination, but why wait? You can have all of it NOW. Lighten up, enjoy where you are NOW by taking your eyes off the destination, stop labelling and qualifying each moment just enjoy them. Stop questioning and wait in the moment. When you release all expectations, all questioning of what is right and wrong and trying to judge your progress based on the world around you, you lose sight of what is important; the NOW. When all the questions and labels are released you will find the great peace and calm that comes from just Being.
Can you imagine not questioning and only waiting in awareness? I have no questions. I merely enjoy the moment and wait in an awareness of all. I have no predetermined destination or expectations. I do not demand to know or judge or qualify the moment. I am a dolphin swimming with ease and fluidity in the presence of the wonderment of all each and every day.
The enjoyment of the moment also comes from reaching a point in my life where I have stopped counting the steps and the extra-ordinary moments. When one comes to the moments when one realises that magic and miracles happen all the time, every day, and they are just a part of the greater knowing, one has arrived. No longer do I feel the need to count and record all these special times. They just are! They are part of me and part of my every day life! They happen all the time, in ways large and small. All that I do now is give thanks to the Creator and enjoy.
I do not need to know why and where and when. I am happy with the knowledge that I know all and yet know nothing. I know that Now at this Moment everything is Perfect! There is nothing else. Enjoy and be happy with the journey! Take your eyes off the destination and see the miracles all around you each day! I know that when you do this you will realise how blessed you are and see that you have achieved enlightenment in the NOW.

Tapping into the Universal Consciousness
As this New Year began I was reflecting on how powerful my connection to the Oneness of All is. As I pondered this truly awesome connection, I could see the potential it has for all of us. The connection to the Oneness of All is the key to realizing our full potential, our dreams, our creativity and our limitless options of knowing. It is this connection that will lead the way to a better world. To activate this power one must begin in Nature away from the concrete jungle and harsh vibrations of the completely unnatural artificial cities.
Eckhart Tolle (2003. p. 77-78) explains this beautifully when he says:
“Whenever you bring your attention to anything natural, anything that has come into existence without human intervention, you step out of the prison of conceptualized thinking and, to some extent, participate in the state of connectedness with Being in which everything natural still exists.
To bring your attention to a stone, a tree, or an animal does not mean to think about it, but simply to perceive it, to hold it in your awareness.
Something of its essence then transmits itself to you. You can sense how still it is, and in doing so the same stillness arises within you. You sense how deeply it rests in Being – completely at one with what it is and where it is. In realizing this, you too come to a place of rest deep within yourself.”
From this state of stillness, rest, and no thought comes an even greater connection. A connection to All! This connection to All is our gateway to the knowledge, information and creativity of the essence of life and knowing since the beginning of time. All of this information is there waiting for us to still our minds and to access it. It is there waiting for us to use. The knowledge of all creation within our solar system, as well as all other solar systems and the entire Universe are there for us to tap into. Within it, is the knowledge of all our ancestors both here and on other planets; the knowledge contained in the Universal Consciousness. We all have access to the Universal Consciousness. Each of us can tap into this limitless Universal library. It is within this library were we will find the solutions to this world of woe we have created on Earth. In this library we will find the solution to cleaning up the massive pollution we have created, the solution to free and natural energy, the solution to end wars, hunger, disease, and poverty, and the way for us to live in harmony with All. By connecting to the Universal Consciousness of All, we find a peace and calm that can be found in no other place.
Using our present mental constructs, we cannot even begin to form a mental concept of infinite number of possibilities held within the Universal Consciousness; therefore it is essential to enter into the stillness within with no thought, no perceived notions and to trust and to listen to the intelligence of the Oneness of All. It all begins with one’s connection to Nature. When one sees the Creator in all of Nature, then it is easy to see and feel the Creator in everything else, even that which we cannot see.
Why would anyone choose the limiting and constricting constructs of the mind when one can tap into the limitless possibilities of Universal knowledge?
