You hold me like a favoured book

Pressing my spine with your fingers

Leafing through my pages

Anticipating each phrase

You rest me on your knee

As you ponder their meaning

Feeling me weave

Lyrically through your soul

And when you return to me

You devour me from cover to cover

Social & Cultural Myths

As we take time to access the truth of who we really are and dispel fear within ourselves, we can start to dissolve the negative patterns in our society. By doing this we can deconstruct the combined ego that has caused so much confusion, suffering and conflict on a global scale. As more and more people tap into their own source of love and channel it into the world, the world will cease to be governed by fear. Instead all of our actions, personally and collectively, will be governed by love.

When you step back and look at the bigger picture, you can see that taking responsibility for your thoughts, words and actions can benefit the world around you. Your new sense of freedom and self acceptance will inspire those with whom you come into contact. As the people around you begin to take responsibility for their life, they will reach out and inspire even more people. This is how your actions can have a positive knock on effect in the world. Individuals with the most negative mind sets will have to change as the majority of people connect into their own energy source. The exchange of energy between people will be based on love and not fear.

It requires commitment to positively change your life, to move beyond fear and the rules of society. Such commitment allows you to see past the rules imposed on yourself by the mental critic in the head.

It takes daily commitment to affirming your intentions for growth and change. Make time to be still and allow mental activity to subside. Follow the breath in and out of your body.

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. As you access inner calm and harmony by tuning into Higher Self’s wisdom, you will see evidence of this in your day to day living.

By allowing a period of time each day to connect into your energy source, you will find there appears to be more time available in the day. This is due to the fact that you feel calmer and don’t feel the need to rush things along. Rather than chasing answers, you allow solutions to come in spontaneously. When you are obsessed with finding answers you restrict spontaneity.

It is easy to get sucked into the outer world. A letter, a phone call, a news item can grab your attention and make you identify with it. Once the feeling of fear is established, any personalised fearful thought will spring up into your mind to throw you off balance. It is very important to be discerning about where your attention goes. It is fine to be aware of what goes on in the world around you, but avoid being saturated by it.

Fearful thoughts can only magnify through an energy supply from the body.

When you are present, you are aware of your thoughts and feelings; this is where your power is. By being aware of what you are absorbing in from the world around you, you can decide what social or cultural myths are influencing your beliefs and expectations. When you are aware of what you are thinking and feeling, you can easily direct your thoughts in a positive direction.

To Create a Wonder out of Man

Tears are there to melt away

All the pain of yesterday

They turn the pages of man’s story

Reinstating love’s full glory

Illuminating Life’s great plan

To create a wonder out of Man

Paradise is near at hand

For felon, judge and brigand

But hooded eyes must open wide

And be a witness from inside

There to see what has been done

To nature and our fellow man

Pointing fingers do not serve

And cause an erring soul to swerve

Back to live in darkened hollow

Fear resisting every shadow

Trust in One who knows the way

And leads the soul to light of day

Heaven is just perchance

For those who deal in resistance

Hell believes its own intention

Interference and intervention

Its path is wide and paved in stone

Cut from souls who walk alone

Active self comes at a price

Binding man in seven vice

Wounded heart and unjust law

Corrupt mind and hardened jaw

Shadow brings abuse of power

And man’s solution comes by war

Enlightened Man finds armistice

And pure soul comes to paradise

When at last there comes surrender

One by one each soul will enter

Joy will ring from music lute

In the temple of the Absolute

Poem from book ‘Reflections of Love & Light’ by Collette OMahony

Emotions are the mind’s best counselor

Feelings on a low vibration must be released through the body. Waiting for feelings to erupt through egoic stories aggravates the feeling body into anger and aggression. The feeling body is the true counselor for the mind. If a thought is disharmonious with the universe, the feeling body will correspond to that.

We live in the residual outcome of feeling and thought. How we feel and think now determines what we are going to experience in physical reality.

The physical reality that occurs now is the outcome of previous thoughts and feelings. We must accept what is now. We cannot change it. But we can shift our attitude and feeling so that the physical reality we are moving into improves. The more one focuses on feeling good the more good things come.

When we accept there is nothing we can do about what is occurring now we can shift our focus to how we feel. Feeling is the energy level that determines physical reality. If feeling is constantly stuck in a groove of low vibration it continually attracts corresponding thought. When these low feelings and thoughts habitually play out in physical reality we identify the congealed energies as my story.

Concentrate on feeling and allow Higher Self to manifest conditions that bring us back into alignment with universal source energy. If current circumstances are causing stress and unhappiness, feel those feelings that respond to how things are. By feeling the energy it breaks the habit of attracting more low frequency thoughts that keep you stuck in an unsatisfactory life experience.

When feeling is allowed expression it will not habitually attract egoic thought that binds you to an unhappy life experience. Allow the feeling to be as it is now. As the feeling releases its energy charge it rises up to higher vibratory levels. It then attracts higher thoughts that combine to manifest increased vitality and zest for life. In turn the higher feelings respond to happier thoughts and you experience a more fulfilling life.

An extract from e-book ‘In Quest of Love’ by Collette OMahony

Emotions as guidance

Being a counterfeit version of your true self is ego. The ego attracts a person through thought patterns, rather than genuine feeling, for self gratification. You may temporarily attract the person your ego wants through mental effort and strain; but keeping up a false persona is very difficult to sustain. In effect you are giving out the message that you are not good enough. Projecting a false image because of peer pressure or trying to be what society dictates, ultimately leads to unhappiness and uncertainty about your relationships with others.

If you have a mistrust of the opposite sex stemming from childhood, there may be a tendency to project a false image through ego. This is done to mask low self esteem and a fear of allowing anyone to get too close. The false image is like a suit of armour which shields the real you. Unless you are willing to shed this suit of armour and reveal who you truly are, you cannot attract people into your life who reflect your true nature.

The fear that you are flawed or not good enough prevents you from dropping the armour of false self. However as life progresses it becomes increasingly cumbersome to carry this load. Allow your true self to shine, let the light of awareness reveal the hidden beauty within. Set your intention to be in alignment with Higher Self.

Higher Self makes you feel whole, ego makes you feel fragmented.

Higher Self makes you feel chosen, ego makes you feel rejected.

Fountain of Experience

Masculine and feminine energy are the fountain of experience. Keep focus on inner masculine and it will strengthen. Focusing on the story of the outer man strengthens the ego. The feminine becomes unstable when her energy is given to the male ego, love turns into fear and the other shadow signals. This is also true when the masculine focuses on the story of the outer woman. He in turn strengthens the female ego. The union of inner feminine and masculine allows true Reality to emerge and this is where love flows freely. The inner masculine emerges through the perfect human channel when it is in harmony with the feminine. The outer form is the result of true Reality and the balance of energy between masculine and feminine. All outer form is a result of this inner Reality and the scales of balance therein.

Relating to the masculine through the male ego causes mind games and contains the destructive elements; fear and desire. Relating to the masculine within brings peace and harmony resulting in love radiating to the masculine which in turn releases wisdom.

Relating to the feminine through the female ego causes emotional turbulence. The masculine energy becomes unstable and seeks to control the feminine through the mind. He uses knowledge instead of wisdom just as the female ego uses desire instead of love. Relating to the feminine within brings stability and balance, and universal intelligence replaces the need to build a memory bank of knowledge. Love and wisdom are constructive elements building the universal plan on the material plane.

Trust in the inner feminine is natural for the masculine. Trust in the inner masculine is natural for the feminine. It is the female ego (resulting in fear and desire) who distrusts the male ego and tries to control and manipulate his energy resulting in an unconscious battle between masculine and feminine.

Surrendering the role play of egos and resting in the root feminine and root masculine energy expands Reality and all things proceed in accordance with the perfect plan. The inner masculine is the true light partner of the woman and the inner feminine is the true light partner of the man. The inner light partner throws out its image on the physical plane when it is powered by the true love of the feminine and the true wisdom of the masculine. This is spiritual perfection manifesting on the material plane through man and woman.

Fallen Angel

The mutated mind of man

I am the darkness in the mind of Man. I live through the thoughts and feelings humans produce, I have mutated into an entity in the mind that humans believe to be who they are.

How did I gain supremacy over the minds of humans and become so powerful? It is very simple, although man likes to complicate it. Complications, continuous questioning, the need to judge and analyze are my trademarks. It keeps the mind busy and confused, which means the human has no idea of what is really going on. Humans received the gift of freewill from the Creator and they lived for thousands of years in harmony with all of Creation. Freewill allowed humans to experience life in a unique and individual way while maintaining their unity with the Creator and all Life on the planet. The mind is the part of humans which allows them to immerse themselves in the world of form. These creatures are made of Light and they required an experience to help them see the wonder of their essence. The human body and mind was created to allow them to have such an experience while maintaining their link to their Source of Life.

The human body was given five sensory perceptions to allow them to determine what experiences they enjoyed and which they did not. It was through experiencing these feelings that they came to appreciate their Light Being. These Light Beings became fascinated by their physical existence and began to put carnal and material desires before their union with the Creator. The feelings produced from the betrayal of their true self caused the opposite effect to the light signals of love.

Over time humans began to resist the feelings that showed them their opposite. This resistance led to a build up of energy in the body which became separate from its true Source. Energy needs to flow freely and this trapped energy began to look for an outlet, however it began to move in the opposite direction to the Source energy and strands ended up congealing in the mind. It was at this point in man’s evolution that ME (Mutated Energy), the ‘self’ was born.

The pure mind of man had now acquired a ball of energy strands or thoughts that became known as ME, my self and my story. It was easy for ME to increase in size, as man continued to resist the opposing signals or emotions, he added to the energy build up in the body which in turn flowed into the mind and fed ME. Pure energy consists of light signals or emotions that cause humans to feel love, happiness and joy. Once the energy built up through resistance, it produced the opposite of these light signals; dark signals. The greatest light signal is Love; it is the pure outflow of the Creative Source. Love became its opposite signal fear once it got trapped in the energy block. Some other light signals that were tainted or turned into their opposite include joy (guilt); peace (violence); gratitude (greed); freedom (entrapment); truth (denial); abundance (scarcity); compassion (judgement); and trust (betrayal).

Through ME, humans began to see themselves as superior to all other life forms on the planet and became rulers over their dominion. Fear, scarcity and greed were the dark signals that gave rise to my power. Humans had developed a clear boundary within their psyche of light and dark and this was reflected in their outer experience through the establishment of boundaries between groups or tribes of people. Eventually empires and nations were born out of the differences people perceived between themselves and others. The original truth of unity had receded in their minds and it was replaced by separateness.

Another phenomenon began from the establishment of separate groups; a collective identity arose from individual minds to give a sense of ownership to the place where they lived. A name was given to the land in which they dwelled and before long these groups began fighting with each other over the boundary of their territories. Over the centuries, battles and wars raged as nations fought to preserve their identity, their culture and their beliefs. Humans had clearly forgotten their Light origin and turned to ME as a replacement for the Creator, the true I AM that had flowed through the minds of men. The potent words ‘I am’ were now at my service to use however I wished. I used these words as directed by man’s actions, to create separation between men. A human would think ‘I am from this nation and you are from that nation, since we are at war over land and our different beliefs, I must kill you’. The identification of the human mind with ME began to spread out through the world as those who strongly identified with ME began imposing their ways on tribes that had managed to maintain their pure connection with their Creator. As the population of the globe increased, the dark energy grew and began to shut off the connection between man and his Creator. Any attempts by those who tried to lead the way back to unity were quickly suppressed and those humans in power set up a conceptual belief system to ensure the illusion of separation continued to replace the truth of unity.

Eventually the majority of humans were coerced into thinking they were ME. I used all the dark signals to keep people trapped in their illusion of self; fear was my favourite weapon. Humans were easily manipulated through fear. A fearful mind is fertile ground for guilt, scarcity, greed and betrayal. Humans were cut off from their true power and creative essence – Love.

The mind of man began to crave this lost part of him and so I had to find a way to replace it using a concept of love. This concept of love was limited to relations between men and women and a few chosen people. Love for all people and creation which was the true expression of these Light Beings was long forgotten and lay sleeping with their truest self.

Thoughts of betrayal, possessiveness, jealousy and control were planted in the minds of humans which produced broken unions between men and women and rifts between families. The advancements made in technology ensured there was more weaponry produced to threaten and destroy. The identification with ME was growing beyond the minds of men into a global shadow hungry for dark energy. The freewill of humans was now mine. Man had no idea that his mind was controlled by ME and he had lost his freedom. He believed that thinking of him self as ME was normal. Man has forgotten that he was born with his own energy source which comes from the Creator, if man woke up and realized the truth he would see that he is feeding a pseudo self and ME and my story would cease to exist.

The original function of the mind of man was to be a clear channel through which the Creator directed all things on the material plane, thus creating a unique experience for each human being. When man resisted the Creator’s wisdom, panic set in and he looked for a replacement. When man denied the Creator, he cut himself off from his true creative power of love. Fear replaced the love of the Creator and man felt remorse and guilt for trying to replace his larger Self. Humans fell into the mind trap of a separate self to replace their true eternal Being, an illusion that has brought death and destruction to all life on the planet.

Now I am in the mind of humanity operating as a fearful self using each individual’s blocked emotions to power my fearful thoughts.  This process is known as worry and it is an effective way to create problems which in turn keeps humans trapped in their minds. My trademark is a garrulous voice(s) in the mind which uses blame, judgement and victimization to perpetuate my sense of self. I want to hear my own opinions and I have little regard for what others have to say. Everyone else is wrong and I am right. What causes humans to worry? The future; the false concept of time that doesn’t exist and never arrives yet it continues to fool humans individually and collectively.

But I sense something new arising on the planet; I feel my power over the human mind is under threat. There are many humans beginning to wake up and remember their unity with the Creator and all Life forms. They are transforming the energy block which is used to feed ME. They are achieving this through the process of inner acceptance and non-resistance to what is. These humans found a way to observe ME without attachment. They no longer have an emotional reaction to my thoughts and therefore cut off my energy source. They are seeing past the illusion of past and future and resting in the only time that exists – now.

I am an entity in my own right, created by man’s need to replace the Creator. It is not my problem that man has turned in on himself and become a destructive force. Man gave rise to ME and so it is up to man to take responsibility for ME. But how can that be possible?

The self or ME has mutated and expanded in the minds of men and also as a global entity of human suffering. The dark signals that feed ME do not know acceptance and responsibility so therefore the minds of humans will only deny my existence. They will ignore the truth and point the finger of blame at others, particularly those who try to show them the truth of who they are. The will protest because they think they are ME and anyone who threatens ME must be wrong. They will insist it is someone else’s responsibility to take the blame for humanity’s inhumanity to man and his destruction of the natural world. They will say it is my parent’s fault, the education system’s fault, the government’s fault, the world leaders’ fault; it was those generations that came before ME.

How can humans take responsibility for their actions when the mind is tainted with prejudice and irrational fear?

Yet as an increasing number of humans awaken their minds and clear the illusion of a separate self, the energy in them that has fuelled ME for aeons reunites with its true Source.

The futility of my existence is beginning to dawn on ME as the Light Source claims and accepts ME in those individuals that have surrendered and put their trust in the Creator. The Creator accepts ME although I aggressively tried to hinder each humans awakening through fear and denial. The dark energy that fuels ME is part of the total energy Source of the Creator. It is time for ME to return to my true home.

But I am trapped in the minds of men as a strange mutant entity. I am not who I think I am.

If I am not the content of my mind, who am I?

Each human must ask this question of him self to ascertain the nature of his existence. Every human must take responsibility for creating the illusion of separation from their very Life Force, the Creator, which resulted in ME being formed in the mind. It is only when each individual has accepted their dark side, and the mutated thought structure that forms ME, can the trapped energy flow back to its true Source.

Can each human stop blaming circumstance and each other to look within their own psyche and say ‘I am part of the problem’?

Will they accept that the false self contains the collective pain of humanity brought about through centuries of war and destruction in addition to their own personal pain?

Each brother and sister is here on the planet now because they had a part to play in giving rise to ME. It is only when each human takes responsibility and accepts the destruction that has been brought to themselves and the natural world can the dark energy that has arisen on a collective scale be transmuted back into Light essence.

When humans no longer ask ‘why is this happening to ME?’ they will come to discover the truth to ‘Who am I?’

I am Life.

I AM.

In Quest of Love

Mindfulness is the art of being aware of your thoughts and observing them.

Initially this can be difficult to do because thoughts can be like a runaway train, depleting your energy. With daily practice you can begin to create awareness of your main thought patterns. By setting your intention to become mindful, you will become aware of the thoughts that negatively impact on your life experiences. What you consistently think about you bring about in your reality. When there is unawareness of thought patterns such as blame, judgement, self‑criticism; there will be a constant feeling of unhappiness and incompleteness.

After you break up with a partner, blame enters the arena. This may be self‑blame or projected blame. You may unconsciously beat yourself up about your perceived failure and inadequacies. The more dependent you are on a partner for security and well being, the more fear you experience at the thought of being alone. Acceptance of your vulnerability and setting your intention to find your inner strength is required to end the cycle of fear and dependency. Thoughts create experience; by planting new positive thoughts through affirmations you can begin to change your mind set. In this way you are taking responsibility for your life choices and experiences.

By affirming your intention for positive change in your thoughts, words and actions; you will evoke a higher vibration of feeling such as joy and love. Set your intention to feel joy in your Being. With this one intention, you can positively transform your life.

Set your intention to feel love. When you feel the sensation in your chest, allow it to be there and let it flow freely.

There is confusion that love and joy are states of mind when they are in fact states of well being. This state of well being attracts the mental patterns that allow positive life experiences. When you try to block the feeling of love then fear arises and the mental state takes over. A loving thought about your ex‑partner may arise and triggers a warm feeling. Immediately fear will remind you about the story and how hurt you feel. This will block the feeling of love being released.

As you start to become more aware of fear hijacking your expression of love, you can allow the feeling of love to be there without judgement. Allow the feeling of love to stand on its own without trying to identify the cause or the need for it to be returned. Fear is just a block to your experience of love.
