Ugga Wugga.

As we sort and sift through our thought processes, meditating on and deciding what we really believe about all of the things that are going on, we may begin to realise something.

We may begin to see that we need to work a little bit harder, this is not what we want to hear of course. But I feel as if 'we' have become kind of brainwashed by the media into believing that life should somehow be easier than it really is. It's almost as if the the media and the consumer market is in denial of some of the bigger issues that are going on.

It 'feel' to me as if there is a rising swell of information that is pointing to the fact that things are not well with the global economy. It also seems that things are not well with the global environment, population and political movements and religions all over the world.

What is going on?

I know for sure that when I sit and meditate and do some pranayama I can make my mind a still and quiet place. There is no thought, there is no 'I', there is no 'me'. It is as if all that I am and all that I have ever been existing as an ego personality has dropped away. I am then just 'being'. Then I open my eyes and I look around and see people and plants and animals existing in much the same way that they always have. I feel the weather, the heat of the summer, the cold of the winter just the way I always have, it all seems ok.

Then I pick up a newspaper, or I watch the news and there it all is again, all of this information, all of these views and opinions, arguments and counter arguments as to what is the truth and what isn't.

We know don't we, we know in our heart what is right or wrong, something informs us from a deeper place. We don't need that much to be happy. In fact I'm finding that the less I have the happier I am.

I kind of ended up being a yoga teacher, it wasn't a plan I had. I often say I tried everything else including chemotherapy and none of it worked in the long run. I stumbled across yoga and I knew instantly that I had found something that was lasting.

This idea of 'everything should be easy' is false. It's not easy, it's hard work. Stop complaining about everything and step up to the mark, i.e get on your yoga mat and start working to see through the layers of bullshit that keep you in a cloud of ignorance and misery.

I really feel we live in the day of individual consciousness expansion. We have all the manuals and maps, they are all available through books and online on some websites. We don't need heroes anymore, we don't need guru's now. They can all go on holiday for a couple of thousand years. All we need to do is do it!
