So what are you going to change about yourself in the New Year? Give up smoking? Maybe go on that diet you just know you should... Well, here's a newy for you. Why not start to 'see' things differently?

You/we are here incarnated for an immeasurably brief moment in time, and so many just waste the time, use up air, and refuse to open their own hearts to the beauty of the moment, each and every moment.

In every moment lies choice, the choices you make will determine your own happiness. This year has been a great one for me, I have seen the release of a long held relationship, felt the pain, and often still do but I have felt myself balance through the up and down times, I have finally seen that my choices were perfect, even though I didn't think so at the time and I relearnt to 'see' stuff.

By stuff, I mean the little things that I'd often taken for granted or just stopped noticing, like the trees along the street where I walk to my office, the willy wagtail nesting in the garage, that one week growing in an impossible crack in the pavement- Beauty is all around you if you just take a moment to be in the moment.

I have learned that the most important things in life are

How well did you love

How well did you live

How well did you learn to let go

I wish you peace through the festive season, I wish for you to see the beauty and to remember who you really are.

Now I’m not a numerologist, but I do have an understanding of how it works and the basics of interpretation, I look at numerology as a factor and temper it with intuition and my own inner-guidance and feeling. 2008 is a one year (2+8=10, 1+0=1), the number 1 is all about new beginnings and an opportunity to release the ‘old’ and embrace new beginnings… as I forecast in June this year, there were some major energetic shifts about to take place.

I advised many of my friends to get out of the stock market, some did and saved their bums, some stayed and lost their pants.  The numbers of the year (2+0+0+9) add up to the double-digit number (11), which is known in Numerology as a Master Number.  

The term "Master" refers to its high vibrational capacity and finely tuned ability to attract situations (like a magnet) that have far-reaching and higher-level impact implications and effects. 

The 11 is the most intuitive of all numbers. It represents illumination; a channel to the subconscious; insight without rational thought; and sensitivity, nervous energy, shyness, and impracticality. It is a dreamer.  The 11 has all the aspects of the 2, enhanced and charged with charisma, leadership, and inspiration. It is a number with inborn duality, which creates dynamism, inner conflict, and other catalyses with its mere presence.  

It is a number that, when not focused on some goal beyond itself, can be turned inward to create fears and phobias.  The 11 year walks the edge between greatness and self-destruction. Its potential for growth, stability, and personal power lies in its acceptance of intuitive understanding, and of spiritual truths.

For the 11, such peace is not found so much in logic, but in faith.  

Number 2 - Duality, Division, Polarity, Choice, Gestation, Cooperation, Service, Harmony, Support, Waiting, Diplomacy, Patience, Psychic, Intuition, Adaptable, Empathic, Partnership, Mediator, Comparison, Receptive, Helper, Collecting, Reproduction, Balancer of Opposites, Subconscious Memory, Positive and NegativeMetaphorically, the number (11) symbolizes a point in our journey where we've reached a fork in the road and a decision must be made (to choose either the path to the right or the path to the left).

One of these paths will ensure positive change and upward growth, while the other portends stagnation and a loss of initiative, purpose and direction (due to a refusal to change, innovate or revise previous decisions or conduct). During (2009) the energy of the number (11) will be challenging all of humanity to choose the positive path (by changing its faulty mindsets, operational constructs and misdirected global goals) or to continue on along a path of self destruction.

It will be interesting to see what the new US President does with a world wide recession… well almost world-wide, I believe Australia will still report positive economic growth, thus avoid a recession, but only in name.  

Cash-up, reduce your debts and don’t spend up big for at least 6 months, I believe that we’ll see a further interest rate reduction of around 1.25% next week to stimulate the feeling within Australia that we’re all OK and don’t panic. (Good PR, but don’t buy real estate for at least 6 months, there’s still a lot of price reductions to be seen, and some bargains will be available for good growth over the next 5 years.

Don’t think you’ll see huge overnight gains though, it will be steady.) 

Spiritually 2009 will also be an ‘interesting year’.  If your partnership as a couple is strong and you use this time to build closer respectful relationships, this will occur, but only if you’re working as a team together for the whole and for each other. If you’re in a tenuous relationship, you may want to find the courage to leave and embrace next year as a single.  

If you’re single, this may be the year you find the ‘other’ you’ve been waiting for…IF you’ve done the work on yourself by clearing past ties and energetic attachments.  As we lead up to 2012, we each as an individual have the opportunity of growing into who we really are, and finally releasing fear. More on that subject next month. If you’d like to receive my monthly newsletter, go to www.diamondenergetics.com and go to the contact page and drop me a line.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. – Buddha

It usually starts in the stomach, that tight, uneasy feeling that you just know means 'stress attack' then the head starts aching and before you know it, you're physically shaking...

Staying centred when everything else around you is coming apart is simply a technique, that when learnt, applied and practised will assist you in these times.  Ok, so you're starting to notice that you're stressed, at this point, feel how it feels, write down how you feel physically so you can recognise the early symptoms next time, tight shoulders, stomach- try and be specific.

Then, close your eyes and visualise something beautiful, a waterfall, a river, a mountain, something without people in it. Now imagine yourself sitting in this image, have a look around and smell, hear and use your imagination to 'really feel' how you feel when you're in this 'space'.

Now feel your shoulders losening up, or stomach settling, see yourself surrounded in the colour blue- deep blue, like Indigo. After a few minutes, change that colour to Pink, sit and imagine yourself breathing in the colour pink, and as it enters your lungs, it enters your entire body and circulates, taking tension away.

You can do this at your desk, pull over and do it in the car, or just visualise it anywhere. It's a simple form of meditation, but often does the trick.

Most people stress when they project and feel fear, and it's always about the past, or about the future... the only problem is, there is no future, there is only NOW. How you choose to feel about the fear is your choice. Your choice about how you feel is your choice, no-one can make you angry, no-one can MAKE you feel anything. Between stimulus and response is a space, what you do in that space will determine your growth. 

Blessings, love and laughter

Don’t have any expectations, is a statement that is very ‘interesting’ to apply in life.

Don’t think that what someone says is the truth, there are many versions of truth.

Choose very carefully, because herein lies the questions- not the answers.

Feel, and detach from the feeling, observe and don’t judge.

Be grateful for the experience, whatever it may be, be grateful for the ability of having the emotions, whatever they are.

Trust that what you wish for is coming, and will only arrive when you’re really ready, which is not when you think you’re ready.

Be generous, offer your heart, if someone accepts or doesn’t is irrelevant, at least you had the bravery to offer it in the first place.

No-one can hurt you unless you give them permission to.

See beauty in all things/people.

Smile at strangers, it may make their day, and it certainly makes yours.

Regret nothing, it was all incredibly valuable and made you the person you are today.

Find time to be still every day and close your eyes and say ‘Thank You’.

Send love to trees.

Dream big dreams, most people wish for ‘small things’ and get them, dare to dream for big things.

Your life situation is not your life, this life is, in fact, not your life, it’s just another Soul adventure.

You never die and there is no heaven, and there is no hell.

Anger is always based on fear.

Time is irrelevant, there is only ever this single moment.

Never take advice from anyone who is more screwed up than you are.

In 100 years from now it won’t matter how much money you had, the car you drove or the house you lived in, what will mater is that you made a difference while you were here to other peoples lives.

Knowing something and not doing it, is the same as not knowing it.

Little things can make a big difference, so do lots of little things for many.

If I died tonight I’d be OK with that.

Detachment is not minding what happens. Not caring about what happens is different.

There are a lot of people around who are oblivious of almost everything around them apart from ‘what’s in it for me’.

You can show, tell, teach and encourage but you cannot take the blame when people don’t want to change.

The most meaningful relationship you’ll ever have is the relationship with yourself.

Value your friends, but be discerning as to whom you allow to get too close.

The world is in a mess because of men. The world will not stop being a mess until women forgive them so we can both walk forward together.

Whenever I see only two outcomes, there’s usually a third and fourth when I let go of the obvious.

Balance in ALL things is the answer, what was the question?

Yesterday I cried, today I’m laughing, it’s all good.

There is a God, you look at him/her every morning in the mirror.

The numerology of 2008 = 1 which signifies the letting go of the 'old' and embracing a new cycle of new energy and levels/degrees of consciousness.

It's about looking at new ways to deal with old situations, new ways to activate ourselves and new ways to travel through our spiritual journey here in physicality.

Many years ago a American sales trainer Tom Hopkins taught me something invaluable which was 'Success is a journey, not a destination'. Many of us have experienced the frustration when you 'know and feel' what we are doing is 'right' and then the frustration arrives when we don't see a result, or a result that doesn't meet our expectations or timeframes.

Don't worry I also experience this, often I look up at the night-sky and ask 'Am I doing what I should be doing?' And then, If I'm doing what I should be doing, why is the exchange (read Money) not flowing to me?

When effort is applied as in 'doing' I usually get a result, like calling people, following up retailers, doing some new flyers and putting them up, sending letters etc. But recently I have discovered another option to this age-old dilemma, it's called 'Programming the Possibility'.

There are many forms of meditation, TM- Transcendental meditation, Concentrative meditation, Mindfulness meditation, Movement meditation, Visualization, Love and Compassion, Transformative meditation, Kundalini meditation, and so on

Even though all of these approaches vary significantly among each other regarding how the practices of meditation are conducted, the underlying principle in each of those methods is really identical, i.e. to bring the mind and body into perfect unity, and then wilfully keep them there.

During any particular form of meditation, the goal is to try to experience the given instructions with the whole being.

Indeed, meditation is all about experience, and true experience is a mind/body/Soul phenomenon.

It is not purely emotional – this would imply that your 'Mind' has something to do with it, and let me tell you, absolute stillness and deep meditation does not involve the thinking Mind.

In reality, we rarely experience this no-MIND state. We are either too intellectual or too emotional, and this becomes a major source of stress. Meditation helps us to strike a balance between our head and the heart, thus reducing, or even eliminating, this significant primary stress in living.

For some of you the following be a bit on the 'woo woo' side of metaphysics and science, but I'm urged to relate to you some research I have been conducting on myself a new form of Quantum Level Programming- or reprogramming myself through the direct communication of the quantum particles that we are all made up of.

As I'm sure you're aware, at the absolute base matter which makes us all, we all consist of sub-atomic size particles of light/energy. Physics tells us that basic fabric of nature lies at the quantum level far beyond atoms and molecules.

A quantum is million times smaller than the smallest unit called atom. Like photon it is a wave of energy, invisible vibration waiting to take physical form. The same is true of the human body - it takes form as invisible vibration before it proceeds to coalesce into impulses of energy and particles of matter. This is where knowledge comes from. This is the invisible field very much like the underlying intelligence in DNA, the seat of consciousness, the ultimate source of everything.

Programming the Possibility is a method of meditation reaching our deepest central awareness under conditions of stillness and simplicity, bringing the intellect and feelings together to commune with the core of our life energy (creative primordial energy) expressed along the spine at the subtle quantum interface of matter and energy.

The first step is the four-breath pranic breathing technique.

I have attached a sheet on how to go about this. It is in .pdf format, if you can't open it, go to www.adobe.com and download the Adobe Reader software, it's free.

When you next meditate, take your focus to a location at the base of your spine while visualizing the energy flow in the form of a steadily burning candle flame. It may assist to have a candle lit, in front of you.

Eventually, you will feel that you have become the flame itself, with the inner flame representing the spinal energy flow, while the outer flame symbolizes the metabolic/etheric energy covering rest of the body.

The steadily radiating light of innate happiness may then appear as a radiant smile, you can feel this smile pervading your entire being.

The initial experience of this smile has a positive feedback effect on the neuromuscular network, which, in turn, may respond by further spreading of the sensation of bliss through every cell in the body. Thus, the meditator would sit still in a comfortable meditation posture and be absorbed in the flood of inner bliss.

You then commence to begin thinking of the things you wish to be or acquire and you need to FEEL physical excitement, the only thing that can cause this physical excitement is a genuine belief in possibility.

Eventually you won't even need mental pictures, this excitement can be brought on independently be meditating on possibility itself - and when you can do this then you realise you are close to the secret of absolute happiness.

When you are meditating on possibility you feel physical excitement, and so happiness, as you are not attached to what has already become and thus lost its possibility, but are close to the possibility of the unformed.

It's much like Yin and Yang of Taoism. Yin is the unformed, pure possibility, as we ourselves are only possibility and can manifest as we please from our minds; therefore Yin represents passivity, as there is no need for worldly action to obtain the things we desire and our happiness. Yang would then represent the formed, what has already become and so has lost its possibility - to change something in this situation requires action as possibility has gone in what has already become.

We could even go as far to say that if our inner-practice leads us to focus on the unformed possibility, then we are close to the Tao itself; and when we are focussed on the manifested, concrete ideas and situations that require force to change them, then we are far from the Tao - we lose our possibility.

If we have a fixed opinion of the way something is, then how can we manifest an alternative we don't believe in? imagine someone who complains they get hay fever every summer, they've just made something concrete and ruled out a possibility. Let me speculate further:

UNHAPPINESS is focusing on negative possibility, the bad things that could happen in a situation or the way in which things couldn't change - being immersed in the concrete nature of what has already become and so cannot become something else, thus lacks possibility and is far from the Tao.

HAPPINESS is close to the Tao, simply BEing with much possibility in the unformed, in what has not yet become but could be. Fluidity. Passivity because only the possibility exists. Having and holding heart-felt FAITH in the unformed.

Is it insane to speculate that God/Spirit/Happiness Itself is actually... Nothing but Possibility?

A meditation on pure possibility, a formless meditation on excitement and joy itself.

And before you know it, you're transformed into a possibility based energy system instead of a focussed concrete being relying on 'action only' to manifest.

I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts and feelings on this. Later this month I am holding a series of 3 workshops to show and assist them to activate their Diamond Body through Programming the Possibility Meditation.

Blessings, love, light and laughter to you
