Once you start to explore patterns of tension, naturally you begin to move towards a state of ease.  It’s not to say, though, that it’s always easy!

Unwinding the tension begins to reveal the rewards of the higher-frequency states your cells intrinsically attune to and transmit.

Once the tension is observed, accepted and even celebrated the frequency changes within you.  The way your cells, DNA and atoms receive and transmit information changes the nature of your existence.  This may sound like hyperbole, but it is not.

The areas of tension that you previously identified, no longer hold the same charge.  This literally means electrical charge and in quantum terms refers to electromagnetic charge and other forces or disturbances in the quantum field and your DNA.  But in a felt sense, this also means and change in tension, pressure, tightness, contractility, heaviness or area along with a change in emotional overtones, if present.  The area no longer feels contracted or as contracted but instead, has a quality of expansion.

As a higher frequency takes hold, you begin to get a sense of your more authentic self.  Of course, this requires that you pay attention, but the ease will become noticeable as you operate within your environment.  Seemingly, for no reason, you will become more sensitive and connected.

Internally, you will experience changes in your biochemistry and your rhythms.

Your patterns begin to shift.  This may manifest as changes in breathing patterns, dietary and eating patterns, or sleeping patterns?

The way you connect and relate changes.  This not only applies to people but relationships with your environment, nature and energetic connections.

You begin to connect with the spaces and stillness in your life, rather than the busyness and constant activity.

Your overarching outlook becomes more soulful and positive.

You begin to notice how much of the world operates at the level of tension as you become more sensitive and this springboards your flow into ease.  The dichotomy here, is that, for a while, your sensitivity to level of tension at which the world operates can lead to more tension within yourself!  But as you soften and you raise your frequency, this fades to the point where you transcend this state.  Although you may temporarily grapple with this, appreciate that you have attained a higher level of frequency that has attuned your sensitivity to the undercurrents of life and balance.

Be well.

The tension, or clouds and fog within, should be seen and conceptualised through the eyes of vibrations and energy.  More particularly, this is also how they should be felt within the body.

In the quantum world, everything is vibration, energy, particles, waves and fields.  Don’t worry about the specifics here — they will be explained elsewhere and taught in the Quantum Meditation Course series.

Think of the tension as an encrypted message.  The tension may be a physical compilation of strain, rigidity or pressure loaded with mental or emotional overtures of apprehension, anxiety and restlessness amongst many other possibilities.  To make matters more complex, there could be spiritual and Universal layers infused into the mix.

The body, in its wisdom will combine layers of discordance into one arrangement.  This allows a measure of efficiency and allows the body to run the program in the background and deep to our normal level of awareness, without having to dedicate the energy to continually pushing several buttons at once.

When the encryption is unlocked it can connect with peace and stillness so complete, it quells the thoughts, worries and desires that plague our minds and belief systems.  Not only that, but the shift from a low-vibration system into a higher vibration allows your cells, DNA and atoms to recalibrate.

These higher vibrational states already exist within each of us, waiting to be accessed. They are just veiled by low-frequency states or tension.

These low-frequency tensions are nearly always the result of fear.  To be more specific, fear for survival.  The threat to survival means different things to different people because it is intimately tied to your character, your family and your environment.

In the Quantum Meditation Courses we drill down further to what may underpin even this most fundamental aspect of fear and survival.  This is the nature of quantum theory — although fear and survival are two of the most basic building blocks for our ego and belief system, there are even smaller and more profound units still.  These building blocks don’t relate so much to us as individuals, but belong to the energy of Universal consciousness that effects us all.

Part of the work related to Quantum Meditation is to give voice and words to the unconscious tensions and fears that we house, even though tension and meditation cannot be fully understood in these terms.  There is no substitute for the felt and lived experience.  It belies linguistic definition for the most part.

Unwinding the tension can be a testing endeavour.  But each effort is self-sustaining because it raises the vibration of the original low-frequency state of tension.  This is inherently motivational and although our understanding of these patterns may come in a rush or periodically over weeks, months and years, you will be drawn forwards by the pull of your evolution and self-acceptance as the tension unwinds.

With every plunge, the frequency of your cells rises.

Be well.

In the modern age, our lives and education systems are very much programmed to be left brain dominated.  We are very are very much in our heads and linear in our thinking.  However, the time is fast approaching when it will become necessary to see life in a very different way if we are to transition our way to freedom from the current shadow that hangs over this world and our time.

It will become necessary, not to watch our lives unfold and to be cognisant from the outside but to comprehend our consciousness and be our lives.  This is a hard concept for the linear mind to understand.  Your consciousness, while it is particular to you in some ways, is also part of a much larger collective consciousness, which is the state that connects us all.  This is very much a quantum view.

By entering into quantum meditation, you begin to see things for what they really are if this world is to transition from our current guise of fear and survival into higher states of love and freedom.  The apparitions of the ego and desire fall away and there is a deep knowing and certainty that come from the quantum consciousness connection.

When we start to become more holistic in our awareness, we start to incorporate more right brain aspects.  In a manner of speaking we integrate left and right brain aspects so that our awareness goes beyond thinking and into a perceiving-knowing state.

In quantum meditation, this state enters a holographic realm, a multi-dimensional realm in which consciousness exists.  This (holographic) field / space / silence that you access is an elementary pattern that exists across the universe as spiralling nebulas and star systems, and is the same field that exists between our neurones and within our DNA.  As you learn to join with these all-present patterns, a tremendous restructuring occurs within your genes that starts to sing to every part of your life.

We all have access to this field if we know how to listen and approach it. It is this field that contains the higher vibrations that we would associate with peace, silence, healing, connection, potential and freedom.

What you ultimately begin to download and upload from your DNA is the kind of feeling and freedom that you feel if you imagined what life would be like without limitations.  You might get an inkling from asking questions like:  if money was no object, what would I be doing with my life?  If I could live anywhere in the world, where would I go?  If I had the power to successfully change anything in my life, what would it be?  The point here is not the questions, but the feeling of inner aliveness, abundance and freedom they create.

To unearth this freedom will require that you voyage into your highest potential and vibration.

The concept of a higher purpose is often framed by “what do I need to achieve; what vocation should I choose; or how do I contribute to the world?”  Ultimately, this is in order to find meaning such that we attain happiness or quell a rising fear.

What we fail to understand is that happiness and fear are emotional states and constructs of the ego.  The ego bases itself upon beliefs that we have established based on our basic drive to survive.  We can have positive or negative beliefs based on whether our survival needs are met or unmet. Be sure, these needs begin at the time of conception.

Nearly always, this higher purpose is also framed by what you need to do, or  what action you have to take.

In this context, your higher purpose is not something you have to do.  It is something you have to be.  This is an extraneous concept for most of us.

The idea that happiness or meaning and purpose is something external to ourselves is a false understanding.  Attaining the correct inner state of being belies a contentedness that does not rely on the external search for greener pastures.  The need to attain (a particular vocation, house, car, partner, financial status … ) falls away.

This is not as easy as a few short paragraphs might suggest.  Modern life challenges the ego with constant promises and comparisons.  This talks to the human nature in all of us.  To attain higher states of being does’t mean that we will be challenge-free and experience periods of discomfort and pain. However, we need to understand and accept these periods for what they are — a play on our adopted belief system.

Of those people who you most sincerely respect, do you do so because of their feats?  Or do you do so for their essential qualities, their calmness or their positivity?

If connected, your higher purpose can and will bloom in the most ordinary and routine environments.

Your higher purpose is to examine the tension within yourself and then find the ease.  Once this is done, you can shine with your inner light.  In the end, with contemplation, meditation and practice, this transforms into an internal and external freedom that will naturally, inexorably raise the vibration in the world and contribute to the good of all.  This may be by your simple presence or it may be through something you do, but whatever you do will be coming from within you.

If you are operating out of your highest frequency, it will be coming from a place of jubilation.  If you don’t have this jubilance, truly, then it is not the path of your higher purpose.  Your radiance is the fertile ground from which your higher purpose will germinate, be that an unassuming wild flower or a gigantic mountain ash.  Take note!  One day you might identify with or as, the whole forrest itself.

You have the keys to your higher purpose within.  The path begins by opening to your higher purpose by surrendering dominance of your ego and mind to your consciousness, stillness and heart.  This very thing will reshape your existence.

Your higher purpose: to be luminous / shimmer because it is within you and you bask in the miracle of being here.  All things that you do will come from this.

Be well.

As you attain higher frequencies when transforming your life, they will allow you to uproot and rise above the non-serving belief patterns that weigh you down.

It takes fortitude and consistency to rise beyond the natural fear state that we possess.  Regardless, there is no mistaking that the grounds for fear must be tilled to grow the vibration of a higher existence.

This higher state prevails as a fluctuating and dynamic expanse that lives within you.  In fact, this is strictly not correct:  as you will learn, this state is you and you live within it.  All viewpoints are possible at the same time.  This is part of the quantum state.

The pathway to attain this quantum state is not linear.  There is a natural balance of things but there is also a wildness and sweep that we have no control over; and nor should we, for that is the very nature of the way and inseparable from its beauty.

Whilst you can be guided along the way, the real work has to be done within.  Some things you will have to work out for yourself.  This is a challenge for a lot of people.

To move along the pathway from tension to ease and then to freedom is mostly about deconstructing convictions and beliefs.  Transition occurs when you have made space for something new to come in and it will happen only when you are ready.

Whilst creating space like this is an inner journey, there may also be some external changes that need to take place.  This may involve letting go of places, old techniques, mentors and friends?

As will be written about elsewhere, one of the challenges fundamental to this process is the rise in fear that may occur as you recode your physical, emotional. mental and spiritual systems.  The fear of freedom is real and many will shaken to feel how real it is for themselves.

On a more global scale, this fear of freedom is one of the reasons political and social designs have such easy sway over the masses and people are happy to hand direction over to an ‘authority’, even in the face of unbalanced mandates. It is also part of the change that is happening at a cellular level within us as environmental, civic, financial, medical and technological developments build a rising uncertainty in the world.

In order for us to usher in the change in consciousness that is needed we need surrender our fears and the need for control to make provision for this quantum leap in awareness.

There is a profound freedom that comes when your mind and its fears are unplugged as the controlling factors in your life.  There is the presence of simplicity, silence and abundance as manifestations of your consciousness.  There is also a deep knowing, feeling of place and connection and a wild, unshrinking freedom. I sincerely wish this for you.

Be well.

A couple of days ago I attended a World Peace, Human Rights and Freedom rally in downtown Brisbane.  The start was substantially late, so I had plenty of time to observe and ponder.

Today, we are divided into seemingly inconsolable ideological contingents, estranged by different narratives, both carrying their own truth, data and stories.  There is significant disagreement on the course of action and even what those actions represent.

In this antagonistic soup, both divisions blame the other for the fall into unethical and immoral behaviour and decisions, having being tripped up by odious and corrupt influencers and organisations.  It seems that the antagonism inevitably ends with a familiar and consistent collapse in dialogue.

We are becoming an increasingly contrary society.  I experience it on my morning bike rides and I see it on social media.  It is blatantly obvious as it currently plays out on our global health stage.  I noticed it at the rally.  

On an individual level, if you become polarised within yourself, it can be hard to make a decision. You can become stuck in patterns.  These patterns may become lifelong: a lifestyle.  Expanded to societal scales, a population that can’t commune with itself, has no choice but to tumble with the momentum.  

With this unwanted momentum, it’s hard to see the forrest for the trees: to have common objectives, pathways, aspirations and dreams.  It’s classic control theory to divide and conquer.  Keep the masses confused so that no unifying counterforce can be assembled.  Small problems eventually, seemingly, become too big to fathom and nothing reaches resolution.  In the end, we are faced with confusion, inertia, and impotence in the manner of our current challenges.

The problem with arguments, is that the dispute distracts focus from the real source of the issue:  symptoms and not causes.  If you had a headache, contention about whether the best choice is to take an aspirin or have a sleep takes away from the real issue — the cause.

Ok.  Maybe that’s fine if your headache is intractable?  But is that what we are talking about here?  Are our current health issues untreatable?  Do we have NO other options?  Almost certainly, this virus will be around forever, in one form or another.  However, if viral history is any sort of teacher, then we will understand that humans didn’t survive and thrive this long without developing an amazing, adaptable immune system and that viruses will generally mutate to ensure their survival, which ultimately means the survival of their host.

In the meantime, don’t let the symptomatic treatment diminish the desire to tackle the real issues, otherwise we will still be here in the years to come.

If we limit the discourse to two extremes of action — either / or — then we run the risk of wholly implacable solutions.  As a populous, we will be faced with two completely objectionable options.  Because each option is objectionable, each supporter base will objectionable.  This will then further bury the root issues and causes.

How this issue has been portrayed in the media and in politics agitates our health concerns.  It has split the population and diverts notice from the genuine platform of cause.

This diversion and oppositional stance draws our attention and comprehension from the intimate workings of the human body.  This is where the real discourse should exist.  It also shows me how to find my place between poles.

The body does not work according to single, narrow interventions.  Science reduces our view to that which is measurable, necessitating elimination of all other variables, so that a particular unit / drug / vaccine can be studied.  However, the body doesn’t work that way.  The body is a delicate web of interconnected systems and there are always, always checks and balances to be made when the status quo is changed.  This necessitates an integrated and systematic evaluation and intervention process.  As a polarised society, like most arguments, we are participating in the wrong debate here.  The distractions divert us from need-to-know facts and alternative options.

Relativism, roughly put, is the view that truth and falsity, right and wrong, standards of reasoning, and procedures of justification are products of differing conventions and frameworks of assessment and that their authority is confined to the context giving rise to them (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/relativism/).

Simply put, relativistic thinking is the belief that reality is relative, depending on the adopted perspective.

I find this to be true today.  People’s opinions are defined by their personal experience.  One’s view of our current plight will most likely be different if they have lost a business or can’t pay a mortgage compared to someone who doesn’t feel the need to leave home much or who may be financially stable.  It will be different if they’ve lost a loved one to an illness or virus compared to someone who has seen their child suffer a vaccine injury.  Until recently, some from the bush who have been relatively ambivalent and unaffected by lockdowns have changed their views once restrictions hit their area.

Relativistic thinking contributes its part to polarisation in today’s society.  

The problem is, we are progressively encouraged to participate in divisive narratives.  As a result, we become fodder for exploitation and it dams the flow for any democratic impetus for us as a whole, to launch coherent and necessary change.  There are great forces of power in today’s society, both seen and unseen, that guide our narrative.  How can we be organised and relevant enough to stand for ourselves when needed if we are combative over ‘symptomatic’ and misleading issues?  

                       A people in conflict with itself cannot move ahead.

It is entirely plausible that economic and political extremism is THE most important hurdle to community and planetary health today.

There is no easy solution here, but we must begin somewhere and somehow.  This view to segregation has become engrained.  It is getting worse and it has seeped into the deep spaces.  To heal, we must reach the deep places.  The best advice I have heard to undo the mental inclination to polarise is to share and listen to our stories that deconstruct the antagonism. 

We absolutely must make headroom, legroom and elbow room for relativistic thinking and intricacy and entanglements.  They are life.  Room must exist for non-polarising alternatives.

Can we notice the deep motivations within ourselves that polarise?


Be well.

At some point in 2020, did you ever wonder ‘how we did get here’? Obviously, the CV king tide washed in, but here I’m talking about the social, cultural, economic oil-slick that came with it.

The social changes we now swim in are constant. The last few years, the current has been fierce and sadly, too strong for many. Some who drowned were competent swimmers but were caught unprepared. Many in Australia needed lifejackets. Most telling is the number of people who couldn’t swim. Most of us headed for higher ground and are waiting for the tide to recede. Some built boats and sold them to others: they’ve done quite well.

Social change, civil unrest, inequality, injustice and climate change were in-your-face apparent before this year ever happened. Think revolution, demonstrations and protests in Hong Kong, France and the United States and across the world.

But I’ve been intrigued by the flow of public opinion the last few years. How easy has it been for people to take up a cause, when the cause hasn’t been based on fact. I’m intrigued about how the thoughts of many have been controlled by the machinations of the few. Rather than a narrative based on research and fact, we have been drowning in a sea of fear and vested opinions and directives.

I read a study last week that may shed some light on how this happens and ironically, how the same methods may get us moving again. The question that the paper asked was, ‘what percentage of a population does a minority have to reach the reverse or sway the majority viewpoint?’ The tipping point, they ascertained, is only 25%. At that percentage and above, the contrarians (I love that word) converted 72 to 100 percent of their target groups and before the minority started their intervention, the group/s were in 100% in accordance with their initial stance.

They found a 24% or less minority changed nothing (actually, the maximum change in opinion was 6% at minorities of this size).

Based on computer modelling, they predicted minorities of 25% or more would have an effect of a population up to or at least, 100,000 people.

What tips the scale?

Part of the problem in trying to change opinion is that, on a larger scale, you may never actually realise when you have a 25% committed minority, and many apparently give up without knowing they may be a few percent away from achieving the goal.

They were unwavering. They wholeheartedly expressed new habits or suggestions and constantly exposed others to it until they started to replicate the actions.

It helps to have a lack of competing minorities which dilutes opinion. This, it’s said, may be part of the problem today, where rather than two or three opinions (or groups), we have multiple competing interests as part of the modern trends towards individualistic viewpoints.

It helps to have regular contact with other members of the minority. This is important even when there is a critical mass.

Whether you’re in a business or part of a social change in the larger community, people spend time trying to align with other people and demonstrate etiquette that shows you’re part of the gang. This has the capacity to lift a business up, or bring one down. All you need is a strong minority. Alternatively, the minority can be non-caring as long as they are steadfast in their apathy.

The study also mentions the online environment, particularly because it’s possible to have a significant number of exchanges, including those you’d not normally meet or influence.

Finally, consider this: can a robot represent a member of a committed minority? Can robots actually drive the change to influence real people? According to the study, ‘In a space where people can’t distinguish people from bots, yes. If you get a concerted, focused effort by a group of agents acting as a minority view, they can be really effective.’

The real point of this article is in support those of us who have been feeling overwhelmed and without a voice in recent times. Part of my purpose in writing was to respond to the sentiment I hear and feel within my circles. For most of us, our purpose isn’t to change the world by ourselves. But I think it is part of our purpose to do everything that we can do to aid a healthy collective consciousness.

Know that we have a voice and together, perhaps we form a strong and healthy minority?

​Be well.

It’s a conversation I have a couple of times a week in my exchanges: ‘What can I do’?

Sometimes it’s about self-improvement or bigger aspects like climate change. Lately, of course, it’s been about CV. The statement is usually accompanied by resignation and possibly, ‘it’s too hard’ or ‘I’m just one person.’

There’s generally a fear of moving against the tide and speaking up, or of being too busy.

I could answer this many ways, but here’s my take on it ... and it speaks to who we are, down deep and to the frequency that we generate and emit to the world. The tipping point all starts with you.

We all need to do what we can. We all need to play our part. Most of us were not born to change the world on our own, but all of us were born to fulfill our potential: to be happy, to love, to contribute. 

(Actually, I believe we are already filled to the brim with our ‘potential’. Our journey is to recover who we already are: our state of being. To truly ‘be’, does have the power to change the world).

In this particular context, I am going to say the greatest source of unhappiness is not being able to like oneself. Here, happiness implies that we have self-worth or value that we attribute to ourselves and not attributed to recognition by others. It would follow then, that ‘I am of benefit to the community’ or ‘I am of benefit to another’ may be the sole thing that allows us to appreciate our worth?

As mentioned, a consequential matter here is that contribution to others does not imply it is on display for others to see.

One of the reasons for my being in this lifetime is to recognise that the only tasks I have are my own and not to take on other people’s roles. Also, it is not for people to impose their roles upon me.

So, it is not for me to decide if my contributions are helpful. That is for others to decide and it’s not for me to interfere. In fact, there have been thousands of times in my career when I have not known if I’ve made a contribution! But, I centre myself with the knowledge that my contribution does not have to be evident. All we need is the is the internal sense that ‘I am of benefit to another’ or more specifically, a consciousness of contribution.

In short, happiness and peace are the consciousness of contribution.

People, in general, seek recognition. Today, more so than ever before. I believe it’s because people want to have regard for themselves. They want to feel valued or that they have value. Recognition becomes a yardstick for contribution. Conversely, if people don’t get recognised, they stop contributing in the end. This cannot be our fate. Because if we fail to act, for our self-improvement, climate change or the deeper issues behind global health, we will have zero choice but to swim with the current of other’s wishes, opinions or social norms.

If we want to change ourselves, our relationships or the world, there is no freedom in the desire that the change must be a grand gesture and be something that is seen, influences thousands or gains recognition. Freedom is only achieved through happiness (which is only defined by the self and not others) and contribution.

A true sense of contribution means that you will have no need of recognition from other sources but will come from the sensibility of knowing ‘I have been of worth to someone or something’. Ultimately, the feeling of contribution creates a sense of community, whether it’s a community of two, or a community of millions. I think this is part of our process of evolution, this community feel and our ability to contribute to it. If we are individually going to have a sense of belonging, which I think we a desperately seeking, then ‘community’ and ‘contribution’ are vital. 

So, ok ... the bare bones. We don’t need big, grand gestures to feel we are contributing. Most of it will go unnoticed and the important thing is our ‘consciousness of contribution’ and to know that we ‘are of worth’. It may not mean that today you planted a grove of trees or you got arrested at a climate change rally or sharing your thought over a beer with the Deli Lama was really worth the trip. It may simply mean that you decided these thoughts were worth passing on in an email to others? Who knows? Maybe your email goes down the line 100 times? What a contribution you facilitated! And without recognition!

The point of this article is that for us to change the world, we start by changing who we are. 
We learn self-acceptance: that is ok and valuable to be who we are and that we are immeasurable just as we are. 

We learn to have confidence in others: unconditional belief that others with do the right thing, even when they don’t! Doubt will keep us right where we are.

We contribute to others: we develop self-worth and a sense of community in our interpersonal relationships (near and far). Keep to your own tasks and don’t take on those of others. It’s ok to sever ties with those who interfere with yours (this circles back to self-acceptance).

If we can achieve this (or even some of it), we become those who people want to be near or listen to. This is not the aim, but a consequence. See you at the tipping point!

​Be well.
