Fully Connected To The Total One, Whole Self. Not Attached To The Fractured Separate, Mind Self.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

If you're a student of personal growth or if you're into spirituality, you know there's this idea called the law of attraction. The law of attraction posits that our thoughts and our feelings attract other things into our life.

So, for example, if someone is always complaining, they create a negative vibration. 

They may think, 

There was traffic on the way to work. Dinner was burnt. My boss was a jerk today. 

And because they're always complaining, they'll continue to bring more negativity into their life.

CHOOSE WHAT TO FOCUS ON

We are processing so much stimuli all the time. 

In fact, we typically receive 11 million bits of information per second - 11 million! 

Our brains cannot possibly capture 11 million bits of information in one second. 

Instead, we’ll retain maybe 50 things at most. 

That means we are constantly selecting what to focus on. 

Our thoughts, our choices of thoughts, create our reality. 

But who is the “I” that is choosing? 

If we remain "attached" to the mind, attached to these constant thoughts, "positive" or "negative", thoughts that are helpful or not, we MAY become easily confused, we may become anxious or depressed or people pleasing or enabling or labelled by society or "experts" and then in need of an escape route from all of THAT mind attachment... we MAY turn to addictions and rituals, even "positive" or helpful ones, like, prayer, or meditation, or yoga, and mind attachments can become like adolescent crutches, addictions, even “positive” ones as a relief from being attached to the mind, 

Attached to Our Our Thoughts, either positive or negative, just to "get you through". We become more mind attached and possibly co-dependent on anything to counter the mind attachment... we believe the mind and its attachments and before too long, next crisis. You end up chasing your own tail... remaining mind attached, ignorant of the missing piece, your self, with many many quite "successfully", projecting and accumulating and balancing out mind attachment (thoughts) with addictions, or rituals or coping by attaching to even more mind attachments and remaining unconscious of our thinking conditioning minds or even developing a co-dependence with our beliefs, thoughts and artifices. The mind attached thinks it knows, when in reality, it is yet to know the totality of one little word, “I”. Remain ignorant of “i” we are yet to be whole. Once a qualified teacher reveals “I” there is no more crisis, no more ignorance, no more puzzle piece missing from creation. And that puzzle is you, the whole you, no choice, the total you, no waiting, the absolute One Creature in One Creation,  no convolution, no complexity, no hiding ever again and source or universe or true nature can never mess with you again. Because you simply be. The whole. 

Once you know the total, absolute, total YOU, all this mind attachment, all this constant "thought" that is NOT  the real you, ceases. Immediately.  

You are then able to see reality clearly, without being dependent on "thought", you move beyond the mind attachments, you live more deeply, you live a whole life, a more inclusive and complete total life. And one glimpse is enough to never go back. And one glimpse illuminates the whole shebang. And one glimpse is enough, enough is enough and the proof is in the pudding. It always has been. Once you taste total reality. 

And to move beyond healing, beyond an attachment to thought, beyond projecting terms and conditions, do you even know who that real whole "i" is who is selecting those creaseless thoughts...? Or are you still wildly spinning, still looking, looking, looking everywhere, still anxious, still limited or lost or trying hard to smile it fake it force it, until you make it… 

Surrender to whole self simply means a wholly re integrated true nature. 

You know the “I” , first and fore most, 

that whole “I” knows what it DOES NOT want, 

That total “I” knows what it deserves 

That simple absolutely true natured “I” then simply gets on living a whole life worth living, completely unattached to mind. 

So Get to know the knower... 

the whole “I” 

Get to know the one seer behind the reason scene 

who sees and thinks and possibly stays attached? 

To the mind. 

Let go of the mind attachments, 

Relative mind is fine and needed 

but incomplete. 

Once remaining ignorance of “I” is pointed out by a qualified teacher, there can never again be any messing from that ignorance. The universe, source, true nature simply reveals itself clearly as the “ I” and we simply get on living a whole life. 

Who else, Am I...? Really? 

We are constantly deciding what we're going to pay attention to. 

But who is the "i" who is paying attention? 

The person who's complaining about the traffic on the way to work may miss the beautiful wildflowers on the side of the freeway. 

The person who's complaining that their dinner was burnt is missing the fact that their spouse cared enough for them to make dinner in the first place. 

The person who's complaining that their boss was rude to them is missing the fact that they've worked with discipline to get to where they are now. That it was a dream they had when they were younger.

But who is the "i" who is the complainer?

And also who is the "i" who is grateful, who is caring, who is the disciplined, hard working, dreamer? 

Unless we know who the real "i" is, the whole "i", the total "i", we remain incomplete, regardless of whether we are the complainer OR the positive grateful, caring, disciplined dreamer.

So get to know who the "i" really, totally, wholly is...

Every single day, every single moment, we make choices about what we're going to focus on. 

Someone who's always focused on the negative will invite more negativity.

Someone who always chooses to focus on the positive will invite more positivity. 

Like attracts like. 

Moaners attract moaners. 

Complainers attract complainers. 

Ignorance of the “i” attracts ignorance of the “i”. 

These are lessons still to learn as the universe delivers them, again and again and again until we wholly answer, who am I? 

Addicts (to ANYTHING) attract addicts. 

Addiction is simply attachment. 

Addicted to mind, attached, 

addicted to thought, attached, 

addicted to ignorance of not yet knowing the “I”. Attached. 

Positive, hard working, clean living, self disciplined attract 

positive, hard working, clean living, self disciplined.

Relatively wonderful! A goal a purpose a win! 

But still mind attached if they are yet to answer who am I? 

But still the whole total "i" remains hidden, regardless of "negative" or "positive" choices of thoughts. 

To know the whole “I” there is NO choice. 

It is who you already are. 

Maybe just ignorant. 

As most societal conditioning attaches the facade of living to thought… 

Compete, compare, strive hard, seek, busy doing, positive affirmations, healing circles, yoga, prayer, meditation, attached all addictions of the ritualistic mind… mostly relatively awesome, but still far from whole IF the ignorance of “i” remains… once we are shown the “I” by a qualified teacher, even a glimpse, we can never get into crisis again. 

Who Am I? Really? 

Beyond positive or negative, 

beyond healing, 

beyond mind self attached "thought", 

Beyond labels imposed by society, family or “experts” 

beyond a still dis integrated fractured "ego"

 still far from a "wholly integrated" i, 

free from "thought"? Attached? 

Free from mind? Attached? 

Free from ignorance? Attached? 

Let’s consider an alternate point of view. 

A choice of a different perspective? 

What might my day look like if I’m grateful? 

Unattached, it is what it is and I accept it as if I had chosen it? 

If I choose my response? 

Choose how I want to see the world? 

Calmly and Consciously. 

Spaciously and graciously. 

All relatively wonderful, 

but who is the “I” 

Yes, There might be busy or slow traffic on the way to work. 

There might even be road ragers and assholes who cut you off or fail to indicate. 

Maybe the "traffic" really gives me more time to listen to a podcast I’ve really wanted to enjoy.

Maybe the "traffic" allows me to breathe more easily and realize how wrapped up in other's "speedy busyness" I have let my self become? But who is the i” attached to these thoughts? 

Maybe when I arrive at the office, a weird email comes through. 

But, instead of obsessing about the weird one, without ignoring it either, I choose to focus on the other four emails that were positive. 

I get super excited about that. 

And balance prevails. 

I again consciously, calmly, choose MY response. 

All relatively easy and discerning 

But then go even further. 

To prevent crisis returning. 

Who is the real I? 

The whole, always present, unattached to mind, the total "i" the witness or seer who chooses that relative response? 

Who Am "I"? 

Really? 

And because I choose my response, after any "triggering" event, "I" choose a calm and positive outcome state, my response, and because I'm thinking positively, I'm attracting new blessings into my life. But do I yet know who is “I”? 

But still, who is the whole "i" DOING that thinking? 

The total "i" Doing that choosing? 

No matter how positive the choices "i" creates and makes unless you know the wholeness of i, 

crisis returns. Ignorance is still present. 

My MIND, still attached to thought, focuses on "good" thoughts and selects "positive" thoughts instead of choosing to focus on the negative. 

Yes, THAT is the law of attraction, but still a more pertinent, more total, more whole, question remains. 

Who is the "I" the seer MAKING those choices? 

If you don't yet know the "i", or can't really answer the ONE simple question, Who am "i"? then it really does NOT matter whether your choices are positive or negative.

 You still do not yet know the wholly resolved "I" and the day to day crisis will continue until you do. 

So get to know the whole "i". 

A qualified teacher can easily show you, you. 

And, when you choose to Be in an aligned and flowing state, "a good mood", you are also someone who's really primed to create and invite in aligned opportunities. 

Complaining Addicts also attract other addicts remember...so choose your thoughts, care, fully... 

By continuing to focus on and select the positive in life, you keep reinforcing it. 

You invite more positivity into your life. 

From repeated practice. 

Drop anything you DO not want repeated. 

Get to know the totality of “I” as even a glimpse is enough. 

ALCOHOL AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

What does alcohol have to do with this? 

Well, if you're into the law of attraction - if you're into manifestation, if you’re into wholeness and totality, alcohol inherently lowers your vibration. On all levels. 

What is your vibration? 

Your vibration is just a word people use to categorize your thoughts and feelings that day. 

Someone with a low vibration really focuses on negativity. 

Someone with a high vibration chooses to focus on the positive over and over and over again.

Alcohol lowers your vibration. 

The reasons are obvious. 

Let's imagine I drink over the weekend. I wake up on Monday morning, basically feeling like crap. 

Not only do I toss and turn all night, but I actually berate myself, too. 

This again? I didn’t get any sleep. I don't feel good. I don't want to go to work today. This sucks. 

Why do I keep doing this to myself!?

I wake up, I get in the shower, and I try to trudge through. I go through the motions. 

And it's just a sucky day, right? 

A mood like that lasts all day. I spend the day in a super low vibration state.

Alcohol lowers your vibration no matter how little you drink. 

Maybe you just had a few, but even one glass of wine will negatively affect your REM sleep. 

Just one glass will lower your mood. 

Alcohol actually lowers your dopamine levels after the initial buzz. 

It lowers other happiness neurotransmitters. And it pumps out stress hormones, too. 

That leaves you neurologically and biologically vulnerable to being in a low mood the next day. 

It lowers your mood and it lowers your vibe and it lowers your ability to manifest the things you want in life.

ALCOHOL KEEPS US BLOCKED

Think about how often you’re drinking. 

How many days are you waking up like this? 

I wasn't manifesting the life of my dreams. 

I was too blocked to hear or feel my intuition, let alone follow my intuition. 

I was too blocked to pay attention and see any of the signs—to see even the obvious gifts from the universe.
I was quite an optimistic person, a kind and generous person, but, still, I was blocked.

I was not manifesting the gifts of my soul and my purpose.

Alcohol lowers your vibe. 

Alcohol lowers the blessings that are going to come into your life. 

When you’re drinking, even minimally, when you have a low vibration, you are not in a place to receive the common normal gifts that the universe gifts us daily. The sunrise, the stars, the moon and all of mother nature all just become secondary things that other people pay attention to and notice. Drinkers often recede into low vibe bars and white noise banal TV screens and switch off from a positive whole life. Drinkers often become brain unaware, a deadening, not necessarily brain damaged as a full blown addicted alcoholic may become, just a drinker who becomes dulled to life and therefore unaware of the ever present universal gifts that the depressive, poisonous chemicals of alcohol causes.  

When you drink too much, it's almost as if you also believe you're not worthy. 

You believe you're not good enough. 

You want to escape reality or anxiety or loosen up the stuck gunk that is holding you down. 

From that state, you actually believe that you don't deserve good things. 

And so why would good things come to you if you don't believe you deserve them?

 
TRUST YOUR INTUITION

Part of the magic of the law of attraction and manifestation is you have to be really in tune with your intuition. You really have to be in tune with the signs that we get from the universe, or God, or source or true nature, whatever phrase or term you use to describe it. 

Whatever you feel guides you in life. 

Your feelings are your intuition communicating with you. 

If you can't feel much because you are stuck and then name whatever your feelings are, then intuition simply cant flow. Alcohol further deadens any ability you may have to manifest. 

When I received a strong indicator over 10 years ago, I was watching a sunset and the word, Euphoric, came to me. Yes, yoga was a big part of my life and I'd done many trainings from many lineages, but crisis just seemed to be continuing and getting deeper and worse. Yoga was awesome, but I knew there was more. 

I could have just ignored the nudge. I could have simply said, yoga tomorrow will fix that. 

I could have just drank that night. But I didn't. I listened and followed my intuition. 

I sought out a qualified teacher who could finally resolve the "i". 

It would have been easy to think, That’s a crazy dumb idea. 

Why "euphoric"? Why MORE yoga, MORE asana instruction? MORE expense to do MORE of The Same relative yoga which is and remains a fabulous fitness exercise as a daily ritual, but even YOGA does NOT solve or answer "Who Am I?" It helps get you ready to receive the whole "i", but yoga exercise does NOT resolve the ignorance of the "i" IF you get addicted to anything (yes even addicted to 'yoga') as a daily crutch, albeit even a very helpful one. 

If I didn’t listen to that nudge to seek out a qualified self knowledge teacher, none of this whole life worth living since then would have happened for me. I initially thought during the teachings, Is this it? That's so simple! And therein lies the ultimate paradox, self knowledge IS the simplest most common and ordinary thing known to human kind and yet it, the total resolution of the "i", remains a HUGE ignorant mystery to most because they are attached to mind afflictions and strong external conditioning. They'd rather remain in a pattern they THINK is "good" than finally remove all ignorance. Which is even simpler and easier. Once a qualified teacher shows you. Thank you John. 

How many universal nudges might you be ignoring? 

How many wasted opportunities for a life of wholeness are you ignoring? 

How many crises and repeated ignorance of the "i" do you want to live? 

How many pretty obvious clues and signs have slipped straight on by? 

Especially when you’re drinking, you’re not in a state to feel them, see them, or let alone receive them. 

When you change your relationship with alcohol, your intuition goes sky high. Straight away. 

Your intuition is the one telling you to change your relationship with alcohol in the first place.

Are you listening? Yet? Who Am I" Really?

COMMIT TO RESOLVING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALCOHOL

Alcohol stops wonderful things from happening. 

Again, alcohol, even at minimal consumption, lowers your vibe. 

Even when you do the things that manifestation calls for—like affirmations or visualization or listening to podcasts that really help you with what you're interested in it—alcohol blocks that energy. 

Alcohol blocks that energy in a neurochemical way by literally lowering your ability to feel happy. 

It blocks that energy by keeping you sucked in, still drinking, and still repeating old patterns.

Ditching alcohol is very much the first basic step to creating a fuller, richer, whole life worth living.   

Listen to your intuition on this. 

Even if you've already taken shorts breaks from alcohol before. 

Even if you only drink minimally on weekends or holidays or special occasions. 

Commit to resolving your relationship with it. Why do you drink at all? 

Commit to getting full freedom from it. Why do you choose lower vibe? 

Do not stop until you get full freedom from it. 

Even if you're two months alcohol-free and you’re not wholly confident about socializing without drinking or going on vacation without drinking, commit to continue doing the work. 

Then once alcohol free, you may even go further like I wondered, and found a qualified teacher who removed all ignorance of the "i". 

I was surprised how easy and simple the teachings them self actually are. 

But it takes a qualified teacher to initially point them out. 

To show you beyond negation, who am I? 

You will find multiple blessings and opportunities and miracles on the other side. 

The universe is giving you this challenge and this repeated crisis to overcome for a reason. 

To escape the attached mind and move to wholeness, beyond healing, beyond crisis, beyond repeated patterns of not yet knowing who the real "i" really is. 

Trust yourself. Trust the process. Trust your intuition and keep taking action out of faith, not fear. 

Don’t wait. Get started, and keep going. 

You’ve got this!

Remove all ignorance by simply being simple and asking who am I? 

Beyond the relative, beyond the terms and conditioning, beyond repeated crisis. 

To Be Wholly Simple takes some preparatory effort, if you want the non negated teachings to embody. 

Firstly, 

Drop the addictions, drop the shallowness, drop the negativity, drop the dregs, drunks and dross...

That's the simple prep work. Most sincere seekers find that first step relatively easy.   

But still YOU may then choose to then go even further (if crisis continues, if ritual continues, if relative challenging terms and conditions continue) and have the "i" wholly resolved with the help of a qualified teacher, so the dis integrated "i" can never again be negated. That takes commitment. Simple, easy, but still a One creature in One creation commitment. It is NOT a choice by now as everyone is already whole, it's just all that is NOT you needs to be removed as well. Many are NOT prepared to be whole and world rather remain mind attached. 

Once you become unattached to The Mind, you live wholly as The Non Negated, Ever So Simple, Total and Permanent Happiness. The attached mind can no longer tell you who you are or what to do. You now become fully and wholly connected to your own consciousness, source, true nature or whatever you feel comfortable calling it. Because to know the total non negated "i" the whole "i" is beyond all terms and conditions and cannot be negated once you learn it. Once wholeness is seen, heard and lived, there is NO going back. 

Simply find a qualified teacher who can help you answer the "i", the mystery of the "i", so simple and already present WITHOUT any choice, or difficulty or stress or worry.


ARE YOU SIMPLY IGNORING THE UNIVERSE’S GIFTS?

Ignoring the simplicity of the whole "i"? 

Since conception? 

Just conditioned and covered over?

Following someone else's patterns? 

Following what society expects or demands? 

Following the fractured projections of inherited family conditions? 

Following following following blindly along, not yet knowing the simple wholeness of "i" due to ignorance of the whole "i" which remains non negated. 

Ignorance of the totality of One Creature In Creation, your true nature. 
Ignorance of the whole "i", the total you, the real you, as conceived, already? 

(just covered over, terms & conditioning, hiding in plain sight)


There's this cool beginners analogy my wife taught me years ago about the law of attraction that I just still really love.

Imagine that you went out of your way to get a really awesome gift for your best friend.
You’ve invested a lot of time in choosing a gift that’s exactly right for her.
And you're just so excited to give it to her, you cannot wait for her to feel happy, and to show how much you care for her and love her. 
A wonderful thoughtful gift, a reason that makes her happy.
For The time being that is...

When you give her the gift, she says,

 
“What’s this? Oh… okay. Thank you.”

 
And then she basically tosses it. 

Or ignores it. 

Or says silently with facial expression or body language "what the fuck even is this crap?"
That's heartbreaking, right?

 
All your efforts to select and shop and purchase a special gift that you want to give to make your friend happy? And it's NOT even received in any grateful way, your kindness is taken for granted and dismissed out of hand. 

Now imagine that the universe feels the same way about you.

 
Imagine that the universe is giving you blessings, giving you gifts, all the time.

It's giving you mother nature every single day.   

It's giving you animals and plants and a whole sky and ocean full of beautiful creatures.   

It's giving you the introspection to be able to change and make empowering, life-altering choices.
It's giving you choice IF you choose to feel it and see it and use it.

You’re getting all these blessings, these common everyday choices, and, every time, you say to the universe,
“What’s this?” 

You don't even notice them and you throw them out.
You choose to focus on the negative or the patterned conditioning that is so ingrained instead.
You choose to drink and NOT listen to your own children, you choose to complain and tell other's who to be and what to do and how to do it. 

You become a controller, NOT a parent of The One Creature In Creation who is their OWN conceived and co created true nature, ONE creature of The Whole Universe who you as a lost parent, not yet knowing the whole self, condition. 


Eventually, if you stop paying attention, complain and moan and whine all the time, the universe is going to stop giving you gifts. You may even condition your own children to the point of labelling, to the point of inflicting mental health labels on them, to the point of passing on family terms and conditioning that YOU could have eliminated. If yoiu were simply paying better attention and NOT projecting a dis integrated relative far from healthy or whole, ego. 

The universe then assumes you don’t want them or appreciate them.
That is why it’s important to always be grateful - to notice the aligned things happening FOR you and to be remain open to new and exciting opportunities. 

Take that leap of Faith. Of course.

But still even if you do pay care full attention and are grateful and make wise choices and the Universe keeps them flowing to you and for you,
do you yet know WHO AM I?
Or are you still mind attached?
Still ignorant of the simplest, closest, always present thing in the One Creation, The One Creature Of The Universe, who am "i"?


Once the "i" is resolved to NON negation, there is NO going back.
There are NO more questions. You finally know the whole "i". The total "i".
There is NO more ignorance. You realize there was NOTHING to realize.
There is NO more hidden mystery. No doubt. Nothing hidden anymore.
You ABSOLUTELY now know who the "i" is as THE ORIGINAL ONE BIG BANG as YOU were conceived when ONE sperm created with ONE egg, combined as your consciousness.
The original "i" the whole "i" the total "i".
And ever since conception of YOUR consciousness, you have been subjected to conditioning, yes even and especially inter utero whilst YOUR co creators (especially and mainly mum!) raised you and nurtured you and breathed for you for 41 weeks within the womb. That conceived "i" was where YOU were in ONE moment, conceived as whole, conceived as total, conceived as absolute.
NOT your birth day or hatching day or exit the comfortable space shuttle womb day, as THAT is a day that can Be manipulated by any number of external forces.
Your hatching day may be premature or over term,
your "slide down the you tube entry to world day" may be medically induced or c section or 100% natural water birth and doula beautiful and simple and easy surrounded and supported by loved ones.


But that D Day, your "birthday", is NOT your conception day. You have already been exposed to conditioning in the womb and there are numerous studies that support the depth and degree the developing embryo is conditioned by any number of external conditions; the mother's own health and stress levels, music and noise and singing and talking to a growing bub in the womb, drugs and alcohol and food and nutrient transferred to baby through the mother ship life line of the umbilical cord, none of this IS the conceived consciousness, that happened at The Big (Inner Universal) Bang!
And how was the energy at transfer of sperm to egg act?
Conscious and intentional?
Planned wanted family?
Pleasure and Drunken Lust?
Loving and tender transfer of Conscious Loving Kindness?
Broken condom or missed pill and then an unplanned conception?
Hot sex with wild orgasms and laughing over flowing Joy?
A hit and miss fumble of that's just what we do once a month/year/decade birthday sex?
Lies and deception on either consenting sex partner co creators part?
Laboratory Test tube donor?
Rape?

The intent and energy present at the ONE exact time of ONE conception is transferred not only from ONE winning sperm to ONE fertilized egg to create ONE consciousness, but also the ONE creature created in ONE inner Big Bang universe absorbs all of that somatic energy and obviously inherits the DNA which "medical science" is still discovering is FAR more that just the simple chromosomes. There is NO wasted DNA as was once thought and inner consciousness mysteries are still being unraveled and revealed. Who am 'I"? Really? Comes back to that initial collision when ONE creature was infused with consciousness and since then that ONE creature with consciousness, sentient being, HUMAN or otherwise, has been somatically, physically, spiritually, mentally, scientifically, societally, family of origin, parentally conditioned... by a whole host of external forces and influences.

No biggy, every human. every creature is born conditioned, we simply play the hand we are dealt ultimately and can always ask One Day Down The Track,

Who Am I?

Really?
