      <image:title>Finding Our Potential  |  January 2019 - “Identity work is ‘bedrock work’, finding out who we truly are; it’s finding out the identity that we stand upon that helps us to stand strong in the world.

      <image:title>Finding Our Potential  |  January 2019 - “With the mind, ego and wounds curtailed, the ‘lower identified self’ recedes and this gives way to begin the precious work of identifying with the Higher (or True) Self, that is, the divine self.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Higher Intelligence of Knowing | Part One - “Knowing, as can be found in a person, can pre-exist his/her conscious search to find it. This means that o n a higher level of awareness in our being, we are literally wiser than we think.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Higher Intelligence of Knowing | Part One - “Inside our bodies, knowing is easily accessible to us all. Residing outside of us, as an objective consciousness, knowing acts as a doorway to divinity in the universe/all that is.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Higher Intelligence of Knowing | Part One - “Once the mind is silent or occupied, we then can invite the ‘silent observer’ or ‘quiet awareness’ to come to the fore and be present. This level of perception simply observes and has no judgment for what it sees. Things just ‘are’.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Higher Intelligence of Knowing | Part One - “The collective end of the spectrum is among the most evolved of human states.

      <image:title>The Higher Intelligence of Knowing | Part One - “There is a deep abiding wisdom that resides at this level of consciousness. It has surpassed judgement and only sees things as they are. It is alive, but mostly silent, except for a light hum. This level of awareness is ‘knowing’.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Higher Intelligence of Knowing | Part One - “Transcending into a whole new capacity for awareness, moving out of ‘lower mind’ thinking into ‘higher mind’ knowing, is the key to our evolution as a species.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Healing Conflict Part One - “Conflict resolution isn’t inevitable, but with a few key ingredients, it can be. And the components for conflict resolution at a macro-level (in a war zone), and at a micro-level (between individuals), are largely the same.  If we can combine these ingredients together in any conflict situation, we can secure peace.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Healing Conflict Part One - “The English gave their lords (known as ‘landed gentry’) “Irish property rights” as political favours, that forced the Irish to surrender their land under threat of death.

      <image:title>Who I Am Part Two - “ …trauma impacts the ‘Core Four’ (mind, body, spirit, emotions), and so it also directly impacts our relationship with our ‘Sense of Self’.

      <image:title>Who I Am Part Three - “While it might seem that the soul aspect is simply self-serving, observing as it wishes and fleeing when it must, the opposite it true.  This immortal part of ourselves is divine, which, by definition means that it is ‘in service’, and because it is us, it is in service to us.  This means that our soul will never override our Free Will, but also that it will always act in our highest good.”</image:title>

      <image:title>A New World is Being Born Part One - “It is the energy behind ice cold narcissistic hate and it is a force that is inhumane; it is not human and it is not from this planet.  It has zero empathy, relishes the desecration of the sacred and it is anti-life.  I call this energy ‘Dark Side’.”</image:title>

      <image:title>A New World is Being Born Part Two - “The ‘veil’ of illusion will be lifted and we will see ourselves and each other as we truly are.  We will be free of the wounding, the intergenerational and the archetypal constraints that bound us, and we will evolve.”</image:title>

      <image:title>A New World is Being Born Part Two - “But when the denigration of the feminine became prominent, the masculine-feminine became imbalanced and the masculine was over-bearing and became ’might makes right’, 'power-over’ and compartmentalised.  There was the separation of ourselves from each other.”</image:title>

      <image:title>A New World is Being Born Part Two - “Once we come into right relationship within our own person and have our masculine and feminine in balance, will we admire the strength of the masculine and admire the wisdom of the feminine. Once we achieve that within ourselves, we begin to see it elsewhere in the world and to expect it.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Evolution and the Human Soul: Part One - “How can we tap into that spiritual evolution to have a more full experience of who we are at that level?  And why might that be essential for us at this time on the planet?”</image:title>

      <image:title>Evolution and the Human Soul: Part One - “The wisdom of the soul is ours, by right.  We have earned it.  We can learn quickly, or slowly, throughout our lifetimes but however we learn, the soul retains that wisdom from one lifetime to the next. ”</image:title>

      <image:title>Evolution and the Human Soul: Part Two - “It is when we master “mental discipline” and tell the mind to sit down and be silent, and then invite the ‘knowing’ faculty to come forward and take the position of captain, that we move out of one level of human awareness and into another, into an altogether more advanced perspective.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Evolution and the Human Soul: Part Two - “Once the soul is the main navigator for our lives, then there comes a beautiful liberation. Where once we thought of ourselves as a ‘person’ with a story, where we grew up, who we married, what job we did, etc., we no longer see that story as the most important thing about us.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Evolution and the Human Soul: Part Two - “Having a Higher Self perspective is like having an aerial view over the self; we see ourselves in context more and not only does this help us to see ourselves differently, it helps us to see others differently, too.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Evolution and the Human Soul: Part Two - “If we begin working from a psychological model, and then move through to the spiritual model, we recognise that our personal work goes from psychologically understanding others, to spiritually accepting others.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The World Today: Part One - “Epochs take time to enter and to leave. The epoch before the one we’re leaving now was the ‘indigenous epoch’ and arguably lasted from the dawn of human consciousness (some proponents of shamanism say one hundred thousand years ago, but the time arguments vary) until a thousand years ago.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Origin Of Trauma Part Three: What is Dark Side? - ‘‘Narcissism’ is for the most part the culturally acceptable face of Dark Side, and once we can identify the darkness in that mindset, we can never thereafter ‘un-see’ it.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The First Step to Wellness: 'Know Thyself' - “We are meant to be intact, solidly whole, with an understanding of our individuated identity as the very the premise of the self.  When we do not have this, we don’t know who we are and we feel lost, or adrift, and life feels lack-lustre and flat.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The First Step to Wellness: 'Know Thyself' - “When the body is encoded with imprints that don’t serve us they become unconscious prompters that can impact us in horribly thwarted ways.

      <image:title>The First Step to Wellness: 'Know Thyself' - “Is it true that if we resolve the injustice, or the ‘over-reaching’, that that will reduce or remove the issue that’s showing up in the body?  Yes.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Where to Next? - “ Innately, humans know that all humans are equal and deserve equal rights.

      <image:title>Where to Next? - “It was when we connected, and became inter-connected, with each other that a huge leap in evolution occurred.  The same is true of consciousness.

      <image:title>Where to Next? - “The outcome of implementing these models would be that they would attract a different kind of political candidate, the person who wants to be empathic because equality is its own reward, the altruistic who believe in a more evolved system for all, would want to support this work, rewarding society as a whole.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Elites vs Everyone Else - “ Tens of millions of people across the world have suffered land theft, persecution, forced labour, abject torture and penury because white supremacy gave itself justification and a moral licence to inflict unprecedented and systematic levels of brutality, exploitation, and, at times, extermination.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>Image: Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948) was a political and spiritual leader from India who became one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Gandhi mobilised millions of Indians in campaigns against British colonial rule, using civil disobedience rather than armed struggle. His approach not only played a decisive role in India’s independence in 1947 but also inspired later movements for civil rights and freedom worldwide, including Martin Luther King Jr. in the U.S. and Nelson Mandela in South Africa.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Oligarchy - “We live in an oligarchic state where we’ve been rendered utterly powerless. The judiciary, the legislative, the executive branch is all subservient to an oligarchic corporate elite.” — US Journalist, Chris Hedges</image:title>

      <image:title>Oligarchy - “A press that is owned by an oligarchic corporate elite, has begun clamping down on anyone who is critical of them or the elite or the government.

      <image:title>Oligarchy - “Resistance requires grassroots movements that do not depend on corporate money; mutual aid networks providing for each other rather than waiting for handouts from above; independent media to counter the propaganda machine; strikes, occupations and boycotts that directly disrupt the machinery of profit.  And moral courage—the willingness to sacrifice comfort, reputation, even personal liberty, for the sake of justice.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Oligarchy - “People united can break systems of power. Class solidarity can be rebuilt. Oligarchs thrive on division, between races, genders, political tribes and identities.

      <image:title>Samhain - “Lugh, the god of Light, emerges out of the mists, to bring the king into sovereignty with the land, at a phantom feast hall beneath the earth. There he meets a beautiful woman holding a golden cup. “To whom shall this cup be given?” she asks. Lugh answers, “To this man, for he is King of Ireland.”  The woman serves the man a draught of ale. This brings the mortal and the spirit in alliance with right order and peace.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Samhain - “Groups of youths will go from house to house, ‘mumming’ or ‘guising’, performing small plays or songs in exchange for food or drink.  Their laughter carries across the dark hills.  It’s both a ritual of inversion and a mockery of fear.  By imitating the mischief and malevolent spirits, the children rob them of their power.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Samhain - “As the night deepens, we put on animal masks and furs from wolf coat or stag hide, the skulls adorned with antlers or horns.  Some daub ashes or soot on their faces. It’s dangerous to walk unmasked tonight.  Spirits abound, and we disguise ourselves to confuse them.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Samhain - “Otherworldly beings roam freely. To honour them and avoid mischief or illness, we leave offerings outside our homes.  Bowls of grain, butter, honey, milk or ale, pieces of bread or meat from the feast.  The offerings are placed by the doorway, the threshold between worlds, where the dead enter through.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Samhain - “The elders tell stories, of the Sluagh, the restless dead who fly on the wind, or the Púca, a shapeshifting trickster, often seen as a black goat, who may lead travellers astray.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Chaos - “High quality consciousness, pristine boundaries, dis-identifying from what is not ours and having discernment are also ultimately essential for the evolution of our species. Imbalance, injustice, over-caring, disrespect and disregard now are less able to be tolerated.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Fear - “ A 50% reduction in news consumption has been shown to dramatically lower stress hormones, according to recent research from the American Psychological Association.

      <image:title>Thanksgiving - “ We gave thanks, not by saying the word, but by giving respect to all living beings, the earth, the waters, the wind, sun and sky, the spirits of this land and to the ancestors and by putting gratitude into each act we do for the gifts as they are given to us.  With honouring, we live in union with the land, we put our love into these forests and hills, treat this living, breathing land and her bounty with care.  We live with and in her with respect.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Thanksgiving - “They knew nothing of this land.  They did not know where the springs were, what roots to dig, what tree bark heals swelling, or pain, how to take the sweetness from the maple, what the soil needed, what the winter winds could do. Tisquantum knew.  Through him, our people could speak with the newcomers. Slowly, the newcomers learned new ways and we came into agreements.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Thanksgiving - “We did not know how to proceed. Our people were diminished by the sickness, and threats from neighbouring nations. Among us was Ousamequin, a man of wisdom, who carried the weight of decision for our people. He weighed every path before him. He understood that these newcomers could become powerful allies or dangerous enemies. If we helped them to survive, we might create balance and safety for our own people.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Thanksgiving - “When we arrived, the newcomers were celebrating, but with little food to offer. So our hunters went out and returned with five deer, which they shared. There were moments of friendliness, yes, and moments of shared laughter.  There were misunderstandings too, and careful watching.  It was not a single feast where everyone sat at one grand table, becoming friends. It was a meeting between two peoples learning how to live beside one another, neither fully trusting nor fully at ease.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Thanksgiving - “Then, more foreigners came.  One ship became many.  They built more houses, then more towns. They cut down forests and our hunting trails. They fenced land that had always been shared. They claimed rivers as if they had made them. And with each new settlement, our world grew smaller.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Thanksgiving - “And remember above all that gratitude, real gratitude, has always been our way.  Not because of one day in a year, but because of how we are.  When you rise in the morning and greet the sun, you give thanks.  When you taste the first berry of the season, you give thanks.  When you help your family, learn from your elders, play with your friends, you give thanks.  It is woven into our lives.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part One - “Curiously, the word ‘currency’ and the word ‘current’ have the same etymological root, which is from the Latin word ‘currere’, which means ‘to run’ or ‘to flow’.”</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Money: Part One - “Money as an energy is masculine, which means that it resonates energies such as strength, action, provision, achievement, endurance, protection, assertiveness, independence, decisiveness, ambition, discipline, resilience, risk-taking, directness and taking initiative.”</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Money: Part One - “Our relationship with money begins with our beliefs about it. If we harbour negative beliefs about money, we will repel it.”</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>

      <image:title>Money: Part One - “One of the negative, untrue, beliefs about money is that ‘Making money is stressful and overwhelming’. If we carry this belief about money, making money will be stressful and overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be, though, and we can change that belief.”</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Money: Part One - “Whatever you believe money to be, will inform your relationship with it, negatively or otherwise. And you can correct that. First find out what you believe money to be.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part One - “Once your beliefs around money are positive and nourishing, you may still be frugal, careful and respectful, but not restrictive, grateful but not yet claiming your full power, you hold yourself back from fully partnering with it.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part One - “The intelligence of the universe wants abundance for you. It wants you to thrive, meaning to grow and collaborate, to deliver your full goodness to the world. Money is an excellent resource for that and learning how to be in alignment with it is available to us if we want it.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part Two - “ And time and again, I have come across in my practice, clients who retain views today that do not serve them now, that they forged while living through the shifting epochs.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part Two - “Roman life reflected a structured hierarchy. Social classes determined opportunities, education and rights, resulting in wealthy citizens enjoying political influence and intellectual training, while the poor lived in crowded housing and worked in labour-intensive jobs.”</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Money: Part Two - “Druids were priests, judges, healers, advisors and guardians of oral knowledge, forming a leadership class that connected diverse peoples across vast territories.  They were political strategists and cultural stewards (advisors to kings, keepers of law, and organisers of resistance) making them the intellectual backbone and guiding force of Celtic life.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part Two - “Sacred groves, rivers, and natural landmarks were their sanctuaries, places where they believed the divine was woven into the land itself. To the Druids, ‘God was in nature’.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part Two - “Throughout the Celtic world, the Druidic way of life placed knowledge, fairness and balance at its centre rather than domination or rigid hierarchy.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Money: Part Two - “As the Roman Empire expanded its power across Europe, it brought with it rigid social hierarchies, entrenched sexism, and widespread slavery, imposing an imperial order that contrasted sharply with many aspects of earlier Celtic social systems.”</image:title>

      <image:title>NPD - “The adult may appear confident, or morally superior, but these behaviours often function as armour around a frightened, emotionally arrested inner self.  Because this inner emptiness cannot be soothed from within, it must be managed externally, through control, admiration, usefulness or dominance.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Psychiatrist Bessel van Der Kolk (author of ‘The Body Keeps the Score’) has said that Donald Trump is a narcissist.</image:caption>

      <image:title>NPD - “The scapegoat carries the family’s disowned pain and are blamed and criticised or labelled as ‘difficult’. Often they are the most perceptive or emotionally honest member of the family, which makes them threatening. Scapegoats are usually the ones who leave or are pushed out.”</image:title>

      <image:title>NPD - “The covert or vulnerable narcissist may appear sensitive, insecure or self-effacing.  Underneath, there is often deep resentment, passive aggression, and an expectation that others should intuitively meet their needs.”</image:title>

      <image:title>NPD - “If you are able to question yourself, feel concern about how you affect others and sit with discomfort without immediately blaming or withdrawing, change is possible. This means noticing when defensiveness arises, when control feels safer than closeness, or when your sense of worth depends on being admired, needed or right.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Winter Solstice - “Fionnán knew that not all the stars moved, and that as we fixed upon the immovable ones, we could measure our planet in motion and, as it did, so our seasons changed.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Winter Solstice - “When Fionnán found him in the grove, though, there were no festivities being prepared, and Cormac was alone, weaving rushes into soft blankets that one might sit or lie upon.”</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Winter Solstice - “‘The sacred land is empty now and the trees are shed. The plentiful giving of the land, has stopped and the earth has turned inward, to self-care, to nourish and compose. And we are quiet, with Her. When we are aligned with Her we thrive. When we hold Her sacred, we are in right relationship with Her.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Winter Solstice - “Brú na Bóinne is more than a hollowed hill, it is a síd, a hallowed dwelling place of powers older than the land itself, where gods of the Tuatha Dé Danann live now.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Winter Solstice - “‘The ancients built the stone tunnel and room beneath the ground, with its opening facing the solstice sun to capture the dawn’s first light. This light is precious on these sacred days, and it is potent and subtle. To breathe it in is to have it imbued into your essence.’”</image:title>

      <image:title>Winter Solstice - “Although it was the darkest, quietest moment of the year, Fionnán’s thoughts raced.  The stag they had passed in the snow-fallen forest, perfectly still, watching the procession lit by a flaming torch.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Winter Solstice - “The space felt neither wholly of this world nor entirely beyond it.  The stone basin glowed as if filled with quiet fire, and the walls held them and the ethereal light.”</image:title>

      <image:title>New Year - “Lasting change rarely begins with drama.  It begins with a willingness to start where we are, to move incrementally, and to act even when motivation feels absent.”</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>New Year - “When you are avoiding something you know would be good for you, commit to doing it for just five minutes. Simply begin, and reassess once those five minutes are over. This approach lowers resistance.”</image:title>

      <image:title>New Year - “Living authentically can be uncomfortable. Telling the truth about who you are and what you want may challenge relationships. Over time authenticity weeds out superficial peace, prunes the social or family tree and replaces them with relationships of mutual respect and emotional clarity.”</image:title>

      <image:title>New Year - “When arguments escalate, it is often because both people are arguing from their own (younger) wounded selves. We carry emotional experiences of feeling unseen, criticised or unsafe. In moments of conflict, those wounds can surface quickly, long before our adult reasoning has a chance to intervene.”</image:title>

      <image:title>New Year - “A rich life is not measured by targets or accumulation, but by the depths of our relationships, the depths of our understanding, and the depth of our presence.”</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c8561fe3df28e14fbf4338/1766939597230-7I5UDRX5QKO45L1G1F6G/unsplash-image-fvl4b1gjpbk.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>New Year - “Presence raises our consciousness and helps us to transcend the ‘everyday’ and move into a more profound relationship with life. We get to ‘see’ more clearly, to understand life and how we grow and how to ‘Be’. And as you raise your consciousness others around you are impacted.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Vegan - “Over 20 years methane traps heat at more than 80 times the rate of carbon dioxide, contributing significantly to global warming. Reducing the agri-industry is one of the fastest ways to slow near-term global warming.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Vegan - “This drives deforestation, particularly in the Amazon basin, where forests are cleared not to feed people directly but to produce soy for livestock. This causes biodiversity collapse, carbon release and the destruction of Indigenous land stewardship.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Vegan - “The reality is that store-bought milk will contain pus cells, caused by mastitis, a painful inflammatory infection of the udder. Cows suffer mastitis because of being repeatedly impregnated, to ensure milk production.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Vegan - “Research has identified intense emotional dissonance among slaughterhouse employees, particularly those directly involved in killing animals, linked to burnout, moral conflict and what is increasingly described as ‘moral injury’, a concept originally developed to understand trauma among combat veterans.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Vegan - “The framework of Perpetration-Induced Traumatic Stress (PITS) has also been applied to slaughterhouse workers, describing trauma that arises from committing acts that violate deeply held moral beliefs, even when those acts are socially sanctioned.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Vegan - “Sustainable agriculture is a science-minded approach to farming, predicated on an awareness of agriculture’s place in the local ecosystem. Moreover, sustainable farmers take a mindful approach to their work, attempting to encourage biodiversity, maintain soil fertility, protect water sources and prevent erosion.”</image:title>
