I Wish for a Colourless World

March 1, 2016April 16, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

I wish we lived in a colourless world where we looked to each other’s hearts, souls, and spirits.

I wish we would see each other not by our colour but by our soul, see each other from the inside out before embracing the gift of our cultural skin.

I wish we would proudly stand tall in our integral character and own our choices.

I wish that honesty was our currency and people were the global wealth.

I wish we could embrace our heritage while opening our arms to one another, seeing the beauty and not the diversity.

I wish we embraced a God of loving-kindness, not a dictatorship of GODHUMAN control.

I wish we stopped waging war on each other and instead enabled each other to grow.

I wish we were kinder towards one another, kinder to ourselves, kinder to the planet and all living beings.

I wish we saw the need to be united, to bring our purpose to the table in contributing to the feast.

I wish I were stronger to shout out about the need for love, love of oneself, each other, and all life on this incredible planet.

I wish hate would diminish and fear slide off our backs.

I wish we were a people who desire peace, love, kindness, giving, caring sharing of our divine gifts.

I wish we find the courage to step up, be counted, participate, contribute, speak out against pain and suffering, and not turn a blind eye.

I wish we all could see the wonders of this world in each other of life.

I wish we would embrace divine love, heavenly source, healing divine energy, and life’s force.

I wish we would open our minds before our mouths, open our hearts before being unkind, and open our consciences before committing a crime toward one another.

I wish one and all to feel free, riding the wave of divine love, feeling the joy of life, and embracing the possibilities of tomorrow.

I wish we would start talking, start embracing, start asking, start listening, start caring, and start needing to hear, feel and see how wonderful life would be in a colourless world.

I wish you could see that under that skin, that race, that sex, that faith, you are a heart, a soul, and a spirit with a mind of illuminating intrigue and that in giving, sharing caring, you will heal, unite and care for this world and all in it.

I wish everyone the strength, courage, wisdom, the compassion to step up and be a part of the equation, the solution, and stop being the problem.

I believe it is in us to let go of the hate, fear, anger, dread, pain, and delusion and take that first step to make our wish come true for us and all of our humankind.

We are the answer; we have the tools, we are divinely guided, we are not alone, and we are so much more than we think we are.

This is my wish for humankind. Will you join me in making it happen?

Cool Brexitania? by Sam Hawksmoor

February 27, 2016February 27, 2016Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

brexit-3

If only separation could be painless and didn’t cause so much anxiety. The moment Boris Johnson, erstwhile Mayor of London, and not so secret coveter of the post of Prime Minister, threw his hat into the ring for the ‘Outs’ it was game on. The pound is plummeting and one can only hope that all those who clamor for the exit from Europe don’t want to go abroad in the next few months, because it will be a painful experience buying anything with these shrunken pounds. Might as well rename the pound the Zika.

We are hoisted by our petard as they say (ok no one says that anymore). The market has already spoken. Shares down, pound down and it’s all about risk. The UK outside Europe will be a puny thing as one company after another departs to trade with 500 million rather than our 65 million (and avoid the inevitable tariffs). Banks, Ryanair, widget makers, they will all drift away and every year onwards we will stand prouder, but poorer, relishing our island status, but unable to keep the lights on at night. Meanwhile if we want to sell anything at all to Europe we will still have to abide by all their directives and rules and negotiate separately with 27 nations to sell there. This could take years. Ask Canada about that.

Boris Johnson will happily lead us over a cliff, all for his personal glory, as he hopes to replace Cameron. Of course he stands the great risk of being replaced rapidly in turn by a Podemos style Labour party newly enthused about Trotsky and Marx seeking to impose Zimbabwean economic ruination on the UK. Our future in the UK looks bleak indeed.

I would like to think none of this will ever happen, but almost everyone I know and meet is all set to vote out like the little Englanders they are. I seem to be one of the few shouting ‘fire’ in a burning forest.

Sure Europe is being swamped by economic migrants, absolutely it is choked by pointless regulations and unelected officials who squander our money with no accountability and lack any vision; but it’s a dynamic trading zone with 500 million people, all of whom could quite happily live without us given the chance (until that day Putin comes to call with his tanks of course). Sadly a Corbyn administration will have melted down all the tanks and decommissioned any lethal weapons (except the tasers they’ll need for crowd control).

Then think of all the Brits who live in France and Spain; at least two million of them, of which a half own property there. Are they safe? If you vote ‘Out’ will they have access to medical services there in Europe? Do they still have rights? Or do they all come home and crush the already overworked NHS and need emergency housing? Should they apply for European citizenship right now whilst they still can? Will they even get it?

What about the migrants from Europe already here? Some of the people ready to vote ‘Out’ are looking forward to them all leaving. So say goodbye to your doctor, nurses, plumbers, electricians, and plant pickers, because if you think English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish skilled professionals will suddenly appear to fill those jobs, forget it. Our economy is flourishing because those migrants are here and creating wealth and paying taxes. Who will pay those taxes when they leave? Where are the skilled Brits? I haven’t seen a native English doctor in thirty years. There are severe restrictions of the number of doctors, nurses and other professionals who can be trained each year. It’s called professional restricted practice to enhance their pay.

There is no Cool Brexitania. It will be a cold harsh life on our own with interest rates ever rising to defend a falling pound, lots of mortgage pain, a housing bubble crash and huge dole queues, not to mentions cuts in pensions and benefits. No rosy scenario. Think it won’t happen. Ask yourself who owns the water in your tap? Who owns the electricity? Who owns gas? It’s not us. Who own the car plants? Railroads? It’s not us. Who pays the salaries? It’s not us. Will they continue to invest here for ever diminishing returns?

We haven’t controlled our destiny in years and a vote out will only accelerate the process. Being an island went out of fashion thirty years ago. If you buy the ‘Out’ ticket you’re taking the country down with you and crowning King Boris on the dungheap.

More to come, but enjoy this month’s Hackwriters. There’s more to come as we go forward.

C16/10a “Recognitions” Have we done it before? -Daniela Norris

February 27, 2016September 14, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Daniela Norris aired from March 8th

We all fear death – this is a fact of life. Nobody, give or take some people with special circumstances, wants to die. And no one wants to lose a loved one although chances are that all of us will, sooner or later.

When I embarked on my journey I was not completely adverse to spirituality, but as a former diplomat, turned political writer, I was certainly not one of those spiritual types. And although I considered myself an atheist, I also agreed that there just, very possibly, might be ‘something out there’, something bigger than us all. But I did not have the time or interest to delve into religion or other spiritual practices. I was simply too busy living, working, raising a young family.

When we lost my healthy, fit and handsome twenty-year-old brother in a drowning accident in 2010, I was in a state of shock and deep grief, like anyone in a similar situation would be. But as the weeks and months passed, I embarked on a spiritual journey, trying to understand death, bereavement – and life. I read books, attended seminars and talks, grief counseling sessions and even a few sessions of hypnotherapy, and more specifically – Past Life Regression. I was curious and thought: why not, I’ve got nothing to lose.

There’s one funny thing about dead people, and that’s that you can talk to them all you want, and they can’t talk back. Or can they? Ask anyone who’s lost a loved one, and many will tell you that the dead can actually talk back. Whether in a dream, a whisper in the wind or your imagination, our dead friends and relatives are always there with us, even years after they’ve passed on.

It’s a bit like having a Twitter account – small messages keep popping up, perhaps you are sometimes mentioned or even followed – but if you don’t check your account, you will not notice.

If you had lost someone you love, even if it was many years ago, try a small experiment: open your eyes, your ears and your thoughts to the little messages from the Other Side. And who knows, you might have a pleasant surprise. You might get some virtual tweets from the afterlife.

Daniela’s latest book

Could people we meet have pre-destined roles in our lives?

jhp5595630129dd0-220x330 Amelia Rothman, a foreign-rights editor from New York, has a turbulent personal life. She juggles a divorce and two teenage kids, and decides to seek hypnotherapy to help her deal with insomnia and anxieties. But when during the session an unexpected event emerges, she tries to understand how it is relevant to her current life and why it suddenly triggers a series of synchronicities that take her on an unexpected personal journey to the depth of her subconscious.

At once a spiritual and psychological novel, Recognitions explores the concepts of past lives, recognition of people and their roles in our present lives and life lessons.
Recognitions is the first of a trilogy.
