I am still put out by a video I watched on Facebook of a guy dieing. I am annoyed that there was no warning given. It was just posted for all ages to see. Now it affected me so I would hate to think what it would do to those others who were not expecting it. I think it is up to the individual to at least put up some sort of notice to those who may watch it, that there are images that may offend some viewers. We do it on TV and Movies. People get sacked from radio stations for comments. Why can we not also use some sort of control on Internet posters. Its not right that people can do this. “Slap to the back of the head I say” Slap to the back of the...

I just had a long and in depth conversation with a friend that was new to Australia. He was telling me how hard he was finding it to make friends with Australians. I was a little bit taken back by this, being an Australian!!! But he was adamant that Aussies were hard to be-friend. He was saying that he has a lot of friends considering he has only been here 6 months but a crazy small percentage were Australians. Is it because he is new and looking for friends, where as most people who have already lived here for a long time dont have the need to search? Or is it because people like to mix with like minded and other with cultural similarities? I have travelled to a lot of different places around the world and have never had trouble meeting friends. People are always open and kind when i meet them and I dont remember any bad experiences meeting and greeting people. Why so do others have trouble when they come here? What do you think? Do you think Aussies are hard to make friends with, if you are new to this country?? It’s worth thinking about. So I will. What do you think??? Are Australians hard to make friends with?? How many new Australians do you know as a friend? 21,760,570 Australians permanent residents. 7.3% up on the year before. Considering that 205940 New Australians joined our shores in 2008. 149365 “New Settlers” (People living overseas who applied for a Visa and were accepted) 56575 who were already in Australia on temporary Visa. Only 2222 (3.9%) were...

I consider myself to be quite experiential, by this I mean if I have a thought or believe something to be true I like to try it out and live with it for a while to prove conclusively that it is what I think it is. I think the only way to really benefit from something it to live it. Things always look different when your living it. This obviously has some downsides, for instance, its hard to live your life trying a new belief system whilst you carry around the permanent creations created from the previous belief system. This also means you have to have the courage to try things that you believe to be untrue to prove that they actually are untrue. During this life long quest I have been introduced to some interesting ideas. The one I am talking about now is one that I didn’t believe and it wasn’t until I tried it, with the purpose of discounting it that I found, no matter how hard I tried, it was in fact true in my reality. Now I’m not saying that this is the same in anyone else’s reality, but I do suggest you try it on for size and see if it is true for you as well. It was during a search for a better understand of my reality that I was asked if my life had a purpose. My answer straight of was “sure of course” but then when I was asked what it was that I was stumped…. I didn’t have a purpose. So I shrugged it off and continued on...

I’m happy today…. I have another full day of teaching. I just wanted to say its amazing how happy I can feel when I give back. Even though teaching is not my first choice of work, I am surprised every lesson at how grateful I am after I finish a session. The mental strain and frustration you get waiting for students to have that “aha” moment. But once they do its more than worth while. This is my chance to give back and one of the reasons I have added a Learn page on this site, “to give back”. Through my ever long quest of self discovery and life meaning, it is the one common factor in all teachings. The appreciation of ones acquirement’s that lead to Giving Back. I find the more time I make to give the more I receive. This is something I have tested time and time again. The more I give the more I get. If you were to ask me “how can you get what ever you want”? my answer would simply be give everything you can and know that you will receive it Ten fold. Trust you will. Know in your deepest core that you will. Believe and you will be. This is a topic I will rant about a lot more soon. If you find the same things happen in your life leave me a comment. Or if you don’t believe its true and this is just some self fulfilling prophecy let me know as well. Hope to discuss more...
