When it comes to understanding oneself - I believe the Balinese truly do. Understand themselves, I mean.
Because I happen to be based in Bali, I am privileged to observe another culture, another type of belief system.
This opens my perspective and helps me realise the 'box' I previously thought was normal, that I thought all people aligned to.
The Balinese, generally speaking, open that box fair and square. They don't adhere to it AT ALL!
My goodness am I greatful for this!
When I am with Balinese people who are immersed in their profound culture, I find that I move beyond culture into something much more primal.
The Balinese practices, I have found first hand as a psychic, takes humans into another dimension of love: The love, (and ruthless ferocity) of the natural world.
In case you are not aware, the natural world is formed wholly and completely from the hidden matrix of the vast, quantum field. The 'zero point field' as it is formally called in physics.
The energy soup that generates all form.
Within this 'soup' lie endless beings of light and dark that formulate, precipitate, coax and mentor matter and form into shape - into solid beingness.
These beings are real.
They mentor us, they mentor the entire world of nature. It is my experience that ANY human can communicate easily with these beings if shown how.
The Balinese know how to commune with these beings and do so formally many times a day, quite pragmatically.
They know that these beings chat amongst themselves (like we do), that they get annoyed and angry, that they have requirements of acknowledgement and love (like we do).
So they do. The Balinese have worked out that if they create elaborate rituals to acknowledge and commune with these beings, these beings look after them. They provide the Balinese with abundance, ease, harmony and happiness.
This is not a recent thing - this 'how to' is thousands of years old.
You may think: Yes, but many indigenous cultures do this. Well, exactly!
Where are we, the western so-called smarties!
Have we figured this one out - I don't think so.
Nature talks - as does every wave-form of light in the invisible quantum world.
How about that?
I must say - it is SO refreshing to be amongst a culture that not only does the rituals, but COMPLETELY involves every tiny kid, teenager, city dweller, business person in this knowledge and practice.
THAT is an achievement. You ask ANY Balinese about their beliefs and you will immediately be flooded with their passion, their inner knowledge, their knowing of how inner and outer 'balance' WORKS.
A light IS shining somewhere on Planet Earth. Keepers of the flame are still here en masse.
Welcome to Bali!

Living A Life Of Joy
You know - it really is amazing how each day can pass from one morning ritual to the next...
I have noticed that days are no longer the measure of my life - weeks are.
It's Sunday again... Why is it that time seems to move so quickly?
Is it that I'm not enjoying myself? Or is it that I am enjoying myself so much?
Have you noticed that sometimes we can be so out of touch with our heart that we're not even sure if we are interested in our work, in our daily occupation.
The people around us can fade into a blur, into a background hub of activity - and we are simply going through the motions of our life or job.
These are the times when we need to take a break and feel.
Feeling, and reflecting is so important.It is more important than that pay packet arriving in our pocket each week.
How about steering down a road - for miles. Then finding out you are on the wrong road. Annoying!
How about driving down that road for your entire life, then finding out you were on the wrong road. Hmmmmm definitely annoying!
Here's a great trick: STOP.
Take a moment to feel, to observe your heart.
Even ask a good friend for feedback - do they think we are happy? Can they see anything in us that is not aligned with who we really are?
In the moment of stopping and feeling, ask yourself these key questions.
Ask them to yourself, then pause and feel. Be smart and catch the feelings being triggered. Notice them!
The questions are designed to activate the true feeling deep down.
Here we go:
1. If I knew what I would rather be doing I'd.....
2. If I had the chance I'd.....
3. If I had zero fear I'd....
That should do it.
Practice asking these questions - write them down in your diary/calendar so any time during the day you can practice.
Write down the answers, the feelings that emerge - the truth that emerges.
