How to deal with conflict

Click here to listen to the audio version – https://colindurrant.substack.com/p/how-to-deal-with-conflict

There was once a time when men were angry and frustrated with the way the world was being run by certain species of powerful extraterrestrials.

They were slaves and they were worked hard. They were beaten and starved. The women and children were punished and suffered as well.

The men were forced to build many temples and other places of worship to the extraterrestrials. The days were long and hard. There was no joy or love in the world.

With all this suffering, something had to change. There needed to be an uprising but the men didn’t know how they would rise up and fight against such a powerful enemy.

One night, an angel appeared to the men. She told them that their power and strength lay in their hearts and their love. When they embraced this power, they would raise their frequency.

And the extraterrestrials would not be able to survive in a high frequency or vibrational environment. They caused suffering because they thrived when there was low vibration everywhere.

When all the people where angry, tired and frustrated and unhappy. They would be in a low frequency. They would not have the resolve to stand up and fight against them.

This was the way that these specific extraterrestrials controlled their slaves. The men listened to the angel but it was very hard for them to imagine loving such a horrible, nasty bunch of ETs.

How were they supposed to love their oppressors. How could they love those that harmed their women and children.

It was very challenging but the men understood that this was the only way for them to win this battle. And so, they began to smile amongst each other.

They began to tell jokes and laugh. The ETs where furious. They lashed out with great brutality.

But the men knew they would have to sacrifice a few of their own for the bigger picture of their freedom. And so they continued to laugh and joke around.

The more they were beaten, the more they laughed. And then, they began to love their oppressors.

It was an odd feeling and very hard to do but they knew deep down that this was the only way forward. And so, they sent love to the ETs.

They sent them unconditional love. There were no conditions and no demands and no expectations. Just love for the sake of love. This raised their frequency automatically.

The ETs fought furiously but they just weakened when they were sent love. There celestial bodies could not cope with a high frequency of love.

And so, in their weakened state, they began to flee. They crawled into their spaceships and flew away. Leaving the earth to the humans.

And so the humans understood that despite all their bravery, muscles, fitness and strength. Their true power lay in their ability to use their heart and send their enemies love.

This would weaken them. It would weaken their resolve and their strength. They would run away in shame and hide away. This power is available to all humans today.

You can always tap into this power when you are in conflict with another human or otherwise. Send your enemies love and you will prevail.

The fight will ebb away as if it never even started. This is your greatest strength. Yes, it is difficult to comprehend and it sounds impossible.

But embrace your power and you will see it work.

No One is Coming To Save You.

There is a fantasy of living a magical life when you are a child. A happy ever after, like all the fairy tales. And yet, as you grow up.

You keep wondering when this magical happy ever after is going to materialise. You eventually realise that the world is not going to give you a magical life on a plate.

But you have to go out and get it. You have to seek you magical life. Take risks and hope they pay off. Find the women or man of your dreams and sail off into the sunset.

But after sunset comes darkness. And if you’re lucky then you’ll see another sunrise.

Some pray to never see another sunrise because of their suffering and lack of understanding of how the world is.

You see, we are sold a lie as children. We are told everything is fair and fun and joyful. We are sold fairy tales which show adversity followed by blissful happiness.

Many of us keep chasing this while trying to work out and understand this world that we have been born into. We imagine this happiness and joyfulness is automatic.

As a child we are generally in a natural state of high frequency. We are full of love for everything around us. We are curious and playful.

But then, slowly but surely as we get a little older, reality kicks in. Traumatic experiences to a young, innocent child change us.

We start to realise that the world is not this blissfully happy place we imagined. Our parents lash out at us due to their own suffering and struggles.

They begin to teach us about all the things that we can’t do. They teach us about fear. We learn at school about our friends different experiences.

Our friends parents getting a divorce and going their separate ways. How confusing and upsetting it is for a friend.

Most of all, as a child you have to deal with these unknown people called teachers. If we are lucky, we get a great teacher. They enthral us with all their knowledge.

All these things that we can learn. All these things that we can make. Excitedly playing with other children during break time. But as we get older, we get different teachers.

And we find teachers that are not as nice. They have suffered traumatic experiences and they are tired and impatient and angry with the world. They take out their anger on you.

They ignore you and shout at you. They tell you that you are useless and incapable. In past times, they used to beat you.

You start to realise that this world is not everything it was sold to you as when you were a young child. Suddenly you have to deal with people and all their problems.

There is not fairytale and happy ending. No sailing off into the sunset. You realise that you have been born into a world full of traumatised people. All who see the world a different way.

All who had had different experiences. Some amazing but some bad. You start to understand that you need a safe place as a child.

This may be at home or if you get beaten and abused at home, then school may be your safe place. If you have good friends and nice teachers. But this may not be the case.

And so as a child, you have no safe place. You don’t feel safe, ever. You realise the world is happening to you and you become a victim of life.

You’re taught that Jesus is coming to save you one day. And so you wait patiently. Suffering in the meantime but knowing that one day everything will change and be amazing again.

But that day never comes. Jesus does not come and save you as was promised. The day that everything changes and gets better seems far distant in the future.

It is like the fairytale where the man is trying to get to the castle. He walks and walks but never gets any closer. This is a metaphor for your whole life.

Trying hard and struggling but never getting anywhere. If you’re lucky, you will have some amazing people around you who will guide you and educate you about the real world and how to thrive in it.

Otherwise, you’re on your own and struggling to work it out. A rollercoaster of fun, joy, trauma, fear and excitement. One day, if you’re really lucky.

You’ll meet a wise man. And they will tell you how it is. They will explain that no one is coming to save you. That you’re on your own. It’s all down to you.

You are the creator of your own life. Not all these people around you, who have been projecting their own life experiences onto you be they good or bad.

The wise man will explain to you that your life plays out according to your choices you make every day. He will remind you to remember when you used to dream of a magical life as a child.

That this is still possible. But you have to go after it. It is not going to be given to you by some magical prince or princess. You are responsible for your own life.

And you have the power to make it great or to be a victim and suffer through every day. You can be grateful for all the amazing things you have in your life.

Or you can focus on what you don’t have. You can be jealous of others who have a big house and fancy car but not know their true circumstances.

You can wish for a high paying job but not understand how miserable and stressed out you would be. The wise man explains that you are the architect of your entire life experience.

You also choose on how to react when anything happens to you. You can find a positive spin or become a victim once more.

You can choose to waste your time on earth with distractions and escapisms. Running away from life experiences. Living in fear of repeating a miserable childhood.

Or you can realise that the power and choice lies within you. Every day is a new day full of new choices, optimism and hope.

Regardless of your circumstances, you have a heart and you can go after what you would love. You can choose to love everything around you as you did as a young child.

You can choose to be in this high frequency. It’s all down to you in this moment right now as to what you would love to choose for yourself and what you would love to create in your life.

Chasing Fulfillment

Click here for the audio version – https://colindurrant.substack.com/p/chasing-fulfillment

We are all in constant pursuit of something in our lives. Be that money, happiness, fitness or pleasure. The problem comes with this pursuit becomes unhealthy for us.

We put pressure on ourselves to get whatever it is we desperately seek. This causes stress which has a physical detrimental effect to our body and mind.

Most of the time, this persistent pursuit is trying to satisfy a belief system of ours. And so we are not chasing something we love. We are not following our heart.

We are coming from a low frequency and chasing something we think will put us in a high frequency. We think we are chasing something we love but it is not.

We need to dig deep down and ask ourselves why we are doing what we are doing. Why are we chasing this thing. What is the payoff. What do we get when we get an abundance of it.

Are we setting ourselves up for failure. Are we deliberately chasing something that we know isn’t possible so that we can prove to ourselves that we are not good enough or not capable.

Our ego is very clever and often tricks us into thinking that we are following our heart. We are doing something we love doing.

Chasing something we would love to do but deep down we know there is no golden goose at the end. It could simply be distraction. A clever way of wasting time or indeed escapism.

Are we chasing something that allows us to be distracted from facing the real world. Facing what is right in front of us. Facing our responsibilities.

When we give ourselves the time and space, ideally in the peace and quiet of nature. Then we can ask questions of our intuition. What are we doing. Why are we doing it.

What is the payoff. What am I NOT doing. What does my heart really want me to do instead of this current pursuit. What am I running away from.

When we take the time to ask all these important questions, then we will uncover what is really going on in our life.

We can then make adjustments and put our focus on something that will give us a deep sense of fulfilment. It is fulfilment that we should be chasing in our life.

For that comes from a pure place. Not from a place of trying to satisfy our self-limiting belief systems. We must always go directly for we want.

For example, don’t limit yourself by your lack of money. There is always a solution that doesn’t require lots of money. Chasing after money will take you away from going after what you love directly.

It will take you down a different rabbit hole. You will lose sight of your original goal because you will be focused on trying to make money instead.

Then you will have lots of money and you will start to spend it on shiny stuff. You will forget the real reason you wanted all this money.

Keep your focus and end result of doing what will fulfil you. When you do this thing that fulfils you, you will know. You will get that deep knowing.

There will be no conditions to what you do because you just love doing it. If you want help with this then let me know and I can guide you in the right direction.

Climbing The Mountain

Audio version available here – https://colindurrant.substack.com/p/climbing-the-mountain

You are in a constant battle between low vibrational and high vibrational energy. In low vibration, you are a victim. Life is happening to you. You are not in control.

In high vibrational / frequency of energy, you are a creator. You are in control and you are creating what you love in your life. You are taking responsibility for your actions and your thoughts and feelings.

You have the awareness to realise that you are having constant thoughts that are trying to sabotage you. But with this awareness, you are able to side step them.

Thank them and send them on their way. Floating down an imaginary river. This high vibrational energy serves your higher self.

You recognise drama and distraction and you chose not to engage. Be grateful for all the amazing things you have in your life.

No matter how small and insignificant you think they are. Remember, that there is always someone worse off than you in this world.

No matter what your circumstances are right now, you have the power to create your own life. Take responsibility for your own life and do not blame others for what you are creating for yourself.

There was once a wise man who lived on top of a mountain. He felt it was his duty to guard the mountain but he also wanted to live way above humanity and all the drama they create in their lives.

All their problems and the hustle and bustle and stress. Up on the mountain, his mind was clear. The air was fresh. He could sit all day and marvel at the beauty of nature.

The mountains and lakes below him. The eagles flying to-and-fro. Hunting and feeding their young.

One day, two young men, Robert and Angus decided to go and see the wise man at the top of the mountain. They had both been struggling in life and wanted some wisdom to help them.

They climbed up the steep mountain path, carrying gifts of food and drink for the wise man.

But when they eventually reached him, they complained how hard the climb was and how heavy their bag was. They would not notice the view because they were too busy focused on their hardship.

The wise man made then go back down, with the bag and do the climb again. The two men complained bitterly but understand there was no doubt a lesson in this somewhere.

And so, off they would go. Back down the mountain, with their heavy bag of food and wine. They turned around at the bottom and started the long climb back up again.

Others who had been sent back down in the past would simply go back to the village, complaining bitterly to their friends and neighbours that the wise man rejected them and that he probably wasn’t very wise at all.

But Robert and Angus choose to climb back up and face the wise man once more. They were exhausted as they climbed up the steep mountainside for the second time.

The bags had been digging into their shoulders and it was a relief to put it down. They stretched out and once more complained about how heavy the bag was and how steep the mountain was.

How long it had taken them to climb all the way back up again. The wise man told them once again to go back down and come back up.

Robert and Angus cursed and complained. They yelled at the wise man and asked why he was punishing them so much. But off they went, muttering and complaining.

The wise man smiled, wondering how many times they would have to climb down and up the mountain before they got the lesson.

Robert and Angus started the climb for the third time. Suddenly they realised they were suffering on purpose.

They were deliberately torturing themselves by walking up and down a mountain with a heavy bag.

And when they got all the way to the top, they were so focused on their suffering that they did not see the beauty of the mountain and everything below.

They did not see the eagles or the lakes or the forests that lay below them. They were trapped in being victims. Suffering and complaining.

It was when they realised this that they understood the lesson. They still had to climb the mountain but this time they had purpose.

They wanted to thank the wise man and give him the gifts they had brought him and they wanted to marvel in the beautiful view that awaited them.

They wanted to listen to what else the wise man had to tell them. They wanted to experience being on top of the world and above all the problems and drama of mankind.

Most of all, they realised that they were in control of their actions and their thoughts and feelings.

Their whole perspective changed when they changed the way they thought and felt. They stepped out of being a victim and stepped into being a creator.

Their whole lives changed simply because they had changed their perspective.

Presence

Audio version available here – https://colindurrant.substack.com/p/presence

There was once a time when all mankind was determined to survive despite the harsh weather. The constant barrage of storms, hot and cold temperatures and ferocious winds.

Volcanos erupting all over the world and tsunamis. But despite this harsh weather, it was also normal. They did not get frustrated with the weather as we do now.

They just dealt with it. It was just the world they lived in. In today’s world, anything less than perfect is a problem. We constantly want perfect weather and complain when it is not.

When we are more resilient to changes around us, then we are more creative. When we complain less about what is going on around us.

We have the time and energy to create what we do want. We can even create good weather. The weather is a reflection of the turmoil on earth.

If there are wars and battles. If there is a lot of anger and hate and low vibrational energy then the earth’s weather reflects this.

This is because everything is connected in the world. The entire ecosystem is effected by energy. The more we fight and complain.

The more we live in a state of hatefulness, anger and frustration. The more of this will reflect in the world we live in. We create it all.

If we are in a low vibrational mood and we have to drive somewhere. We are probably going to have a horrible drive. Other drivers will cut us up, pull out in front of us and so on.

The reality is that this is all a lesson to be more aware of what we are creating for ourselves. Someone drives really slowly in front of you. You get frustrated and angry.

They are deliberating trying to ruin your day. But they are not. They are teaching you that you need to slow down in your life. You are rushing around too much.

You are not living, just rushing from one thing to the next. Not fully experiencing and appreciating what you are doing in your life.

You are not present. For it is when you are in presence that you have a full life experience. You can taste every little thing you eat.

You can see the beauty everywhere you look. You can feel the presence of nature. You can watch a little bird, flying around, looking for food. Chasing their mate through the bushes.

Singing loudly. You notice the beauty of trees and leaves and bushes. The beauty of a gushing stream, endlessly flowing.

Most of all, when you are present, others notice that you are there, noticing them, listening to them.

You have a deeper and more fulfilling conversation with whomever you meet. Because you are fully present and authentic. Not distracted by other thoughts flying around your head.

When we are present, we experience life in a different way. We feel loved in a different way. We can feel it expanding our heart.

We are ruled by what is in front of us rather than by our thoughts and feelings rushing around in our head. We are not a victim.

We are not frustrated or angry about something that in reality does not affect us. Something happening on the other side of the world that we cannot change.

We are focused on what is right in front of us. We are focused on raising our vibration and frequency to the highest we can imagine. We are calm and peaceful and loving.

It is in this state that we can be the best version of ourselves and fully experience life as it is meant to be. Real and authentic.

Thnuk’s Wisdom

Audio version available here – https://colindurrant.substack.com/p/thanuks-wisdom

The war is going our way but we continue to need your support and high vibration and frequency of love being sent into the universe.

This is instrumental to our success in this war. I am Thanuk and what you would call the colonel in charge of this war. We are fighting to save earth but we still need your continued help.

It is the awareness of dark thoughts and feelings that our enemies use to attack you and us. It is these moments of anger and frustration which is their strongest power.

If you give into these false thoughts and feelings then your vibration and frequency lowers and they gain strength and power. They start to edge forward.

The more people that live their lives complaining and being ruled by dark thoughts. The more people that live in this low vibrational way of being.

The harder it is for us to fight for you. This struggle for power call comes down to frequencies. We are the higher and they are the lower.

We need you to be aware of what is going on in your own head. What state are in you in right now. Are you being a victim and being negative. Or are you hopeful and joyful and happy.

Excited about finding solutions to any problems thrown your way in life. Do not complain and do not be a victim. Always seek the lesson in any seemingly bad situation.

Create a win win solution for everyone. It is in this vibration that everything  functions much better for everyone.

When mankind is seeking solutions for problems rather than feeling powerless and feeling sorry for themselves. We are all connected so how you feel affects everyone else around you.

When you walk into a room with high vibrational energy, everyone is instantly uplifted. They feel better and happier.

By doing this simple task for us, you greatly serve your whole species. The more beings that are operating at a high frequency, the stronger we become.

We can fight for you and for your earth. Remember, when something happens that annoys you, you have a choice. You can let it wash over you and float away into the darkness.

Or you can let it consume you and change your course of action. It can lead you down the path of being a victim and complaining bitterly.

You then collude with others and they join in complaining with you. Then you start complaining about more things going wrong in your life.

Your vibration of all of you lowers. You all feel bad and sorry for yourselves. You feel the world is against you. You feel powerless. You feel sad and unhappy.

And all because you gave power to a single negative thought that you could have let go of. See the power in letting go of complaining and negativity.

Don’t get sucked down a rabbit hole for no good will come from it. Seek love in every situation. Send love to those they have harmed you or annoyed you.

This is your secret weapon to resolving conflict. Try it and you will see. Remember the one thing I always tell you. Your focus creates your reality.

The more you complain about something, the more things you will get to complain about.

It is because you are focused on complaining and so your subconscious believes that this is what you want. And so, it creates more of it for you.

Choose instead to focus on what you do want in your life. Focus on what you would love in your life. And you will get more of that instead.

Laziness

For audio version, click here – https://colindurrant.substack.com/p/laziness

The problem is, that by many years of comfort and warmth, the human becomes lazy. Too lazy to work, too lazy to look after themselves and their health.

Too lazy to want to be the best version of themselves. Too lazy to want the best for others. To help and serve their community.

Laziness is a disease that destroys its human. It stops you living. It stops you wanting your best life. It makes you settle for mediocrity.

It robs you of an exciting future. It makes you think that everything is ok when it is not. It robs you of adventure and exploration of the unknown.

Both in the world you live in and your mind. To robs you of wondering what is possible in this world.

What is the most mind blowing experience that you can have during your whole life. It plonks you down on the sofa.

It distracts your mind with rubbish on TV. To entertain and dumb you down. To rob you of energy and life.

To make you believe that everything is great when in reality, you are barely existing. You can’t be bothered to exercise. To eat healthy and feel better.

Instead you eat bad food and drink too much alcohol. You may take drugs to make yourself feel better but all of this just makes you feel worse.

You wake up with a headache and you can’t be bothered to do anything so you lose another day of your life.

TV adverts brain wash you into believing you need to buy things that you do not. They treat you like you are stupid and they work.

You buy rubbish that keeps you poor. Rather than spending time reconnecting to yourself in nature.

Spending time to be kind to others. Being bothered to want to have a better life. To find and live out a life that embodies your highest potential.

A life where you live your best self. You spend your time improving your awareness, gratitude and love.

Being aware of when you are being a victim in your life and instead find creative solutions. Solutions where everyone wins.

Imagine living in a world where you embrace your superpower of love. You learn its power and how to use it. You see the difference that it makes in your life.

You teach others. You seek fulfilment and not immense wealth by any means necessary. You seek for you and your family to have a great human experience.

Not one where you are always stressed and shouting at each other. Not one where you are tolerating rather than thriving. You seek to live in your truth.

To step out your comfort zone constantly. To experience new things that help you grow as a person. To calm and tame the demons in your head.

To face adversity head on and come out the other side, stronger and more resilient than before. More loving and empathetic.

More understanding. Less resistant to change and less fearful of the unknown.

A day in the life of an Extraterrestrial

Audio version available here – A day in the life of an Extraterrestrial (substack.com)

In the world of extraterrestrials, their daily life consists largely of seeking different experiences. Some ETs create these experiences for others. It is how they work.

These experiences are all imagined. Whatever they can imagine, they can create for themselves and for others.

For example, they can experience cage fighting where the fighters will be whatever you wish to imagine them to be. A giant bear against a crocodile or a T-Rex. Or just a completely made up animal that they create in their imagination.

Their food that sustains them is essentially soul food. They get this from using their imagination and knowledge. They crave knowledge constantly.

They go to a university type place whenever they want to and listen to another being who shares knowledge with them. It may be about their history or how to extend their imaginations to another level.

They especially love to learn about other planets including earth. How we live our lives. How other extraterrestrials live their lives.

All this knowledge helps feed their imaginations which helps them create new experiences which uplift them.

It’s that feeling of being alive and excited that feeds them. They can imagine climbing a mountain like Everest. It is freezing cold and windy and a difficult climb.

They get to feel the whole experience and how tough it may be. They experience the danger.

Their roller coasters are a whole different level. You can just imagine creating the scariest, most dangerous roller coaster and theirs will be a 1000 times even more scary and dangerous and terrifying.

They actually live in similar houses as we do on earth. They have animals they conjure up. Again, any type of animal they wish to imagine they can create for themselves.

Their hearts which is their main organ is what needs its nourishment by interacting with other’s hearts. They seek that warm fuzzy feeling of being loved and cared for and safe.

They do sleep as we do. They need to recharge for spending their day uplifting others by using their energy and love. Experiencing many different things every day.

Leaning and gaining knowledge of their world and many others. Using their imaginations constantly to create different experiences for themselves and others.

It is all very tiring work. It’s a very full and exciting life. But they do need to rest and recover., just as we do.

You can imagine, with a limitless imagination that it takes quite a bit of energy to constantly create these different experiences.

The same with food. They can still buy food and experience what it would taste like. They don’t actually eat anything but they experience what it would taste like if they did.

In this way, they experience many different types of food. That’s why they love coming to earth to see and experience what we eat. How it tastes. How it makes us feel.

That is what they are all about. That’s what they take back to their people and share that experience with them. All these shared experiences are very real.

It’s a bit like virtual reality but you can not only see but taste, feel hot and cold, feel rain and wind. Feel like you are there, having that experience.

Like watching a fight with the T-Rex and giant bear. You’re in the middle of the fight. You are dodging out the way of them.

You can feel their hot breathe and you get their spittle on your face when they roar. You get splashed with their blood. You can taste it.

You can feel their fear and anger and rage. And when one wins you can feel not only the victorious elation of the winner but the life ebbing away of the loser.

Their exhaustion and powerlessness as everything gets darker and quieter and goes still. Their heart slowing and finally stopping followed by darkness.

But in the same token, the victor feels invincible, elated and excited. Pumped up. You can experience walking through a forest, full of beautiful singing birds.

One comes and sits on your shoulder and sings loudly. Beautiful, bright colours. He’s calling for a mate. You feel his heart pumping with excitement and intrigue.

Searching, seeking and singing. Suddenly, he spots her sitting on a branch high up and he launches himself off your shoulder and flies up to meet her.

They live their lives with constant different experience like these. Creating them for themselves and for others. While we see them as something resembling a see-through bag with a big glowing heart.

They can see themselves however they wish. They may even take a human form, a beautiful women or a big fat guy wearing nothing but a small pair of dirty white pants.

They could walk around looking like a dinosaur or any other animal they create with their imagination. It just creates this really fun and exciting place to be.

They constantly learn and create and love one another. They seek to send love to each other and give and receive that feeling of being loved and cared for.

Just like us, they love to feel safe, especially after the universe’s scariest roller coaster ride. They love their life. They love constantly creating new and exciting experiences.

They love learning and gaining new knowledge of everything. They are kind and gentle.

There are also bullies with their big hearts, obsessed with getting more love and taking love from others. But they are soon put in their place. They are calmed down, sent love and empathy.

They would defend each other to the last. They would never run away and hide. They have no reason to be jealous or have resentment or hate for they can have whatever they wish.

They are sharing, caring and loving but brave and fearless at the same time. Their super power is exactly the same of ours.

They simply send out love to anyone who wishes them harm and it conquers all.

Endless Energy

Audio version here – https://open.substack.com/pub/colindurrant/p/endless-energy?r=2d5vtt&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Everything is energy and imagination. Whatever you can imagine, you can create in your life. You can make it a reality. But it takes energy.

Your energy comes from your heart. Your true energy. As a human, you have different energy sources. The most powerful source of energy is your heart.

This allows you to push yourself way beyond normal physical limits. It allows you to use your imagination and not get distracted or feel tired.

For it is when you are feeling tired, that you stop creating. You stop moving. Everything slows down. Your vibration turns into low energy.

You can’t be bothered to go out for a walk or go to gym or go for a swim. When you access this different energy system then you have endless energy.

It feeds your brain and your imagination. Take 10 minutes and just sit and imagine for a moment, without distraction. What could you create in your life if you had no limits.

You had no physical or monetary or time limits. What experience would you create for yourself in this life.

If you stopped allowing your internal beliefs that you are not good enough or not capable or that everything has to be perfect to lead the narrative.

Imagine for a moment that you had endless energy and endless power and strength. Endless love. What would you create that you will never get bored of.

What really lights your fire in your belly and your heart. What can you imagine doing for the rest of your life and love it.

Love the fulfilment it brings you. That deep down sense of fulfilment and contentment knowing that you are living out your purpose in this lifetime of yours.

This vision using your imagination will be different for each of you. There is no right and wrong. There is no judgement.

There is just exploring your imagination and expanding it way beyond anything you have done before.

Will you meet up with extraterrestrials and fly around with them in their space ship. Explore their way of life. Explore the universe and all the planets. Go and sit on Pluto.

Go way beyond into different galaxies and explore. Or perhaps stay on earth and explore tunnels and rivers that flow beneath the earth.

Or explore our oceans, endlessly seeking what lies beneath the waves. Or create your idea of paradise. Endless, white beaches. Sunshine, palm trees.

Beautiful lagoons and crystal clear, deep blue sea. Perhaps you wish to create your own city, full of hustle and bustle. Bars full of excited people chatting and connecting.

Perhaps a rollercoaster that goes a mile into the sky and swoops down into a river before endlessly twisting and spiraling. It’s your imagination to play with.

But it all starts with imagining what you would love to do for the rest of your life if you had no limits and endless energy.

Simply imaging endless energy will in itself give you more energy. And the more you move and live your life, the more you will have access to.

The more you use and open your heart, the more you will love the world around you.

Your Resistance to Experiencing Life

Audio version is here – https://open.substack.com/pub/colindurrant/p/your-resistance-to-experiencing-life

As humans we fear change more than anything. We would rather stay in suffering and pain than imagine a world that is different to our current reality.

We have to know how it is so that we think we have stability. And yet, those that embrace change have a totally different human experience.

In a world that is ever changing, we have to evolve or risk losing everything we have. Sometimes we know what is available to us.

We know that our life could be better and yet still, we resist it. We still fear the changes we have to make.

It is only when we understand that we are responsible for what we have created in our past. The good and the bad.

That we start to understand that we have the power to create a different life in our future.

If only we can embrace change and acknowledge our resistance.

Our resistance will always be there but it is when we go ahead anyway that we can often have the best experiences.

Our fear keeps us small. We believe that we are safe when everything stays the same but we are not.

Imagine for a moment that we live in our house in a village at the bottom of a mountain. Our life is ok.

It is nothing special, nothing spectacular, nothing exciting. But we are ok in our little house and our simple life.

Our adventurous friends tell us how they moved to another village, away from the mountain.

For the mountain is a volcano and one day it may erupt and destroy our home. In this new village, our friends tell us how great everything is.

They get up at 5am every day. They go for a swim in the cold sea. They go hiking together and they learn lessons from a wise man.

They have never been so happy and full of life. To you, this all sounds dangerous and way outside your comfort zone.

You would rather stay cozy in your bed for as long as possible. Avoiding the outside world until you have to face it.

Your little house is safe and warm. You can hide away from the world there. This different life and the potential danger of the volcano isn’t something that you can contemplate.

Getting up at 5am is a hard no. And everyone just says the volcano will erupt but it probably never will.

It is just something that people say to try and get you to move. You strongly resist any change. It actually sounds dangerous to you.

But yes, one day the volcano does erupt a great plume of hot lava. It shoots hundreds of feet into the air and covers the mountain side.

Racing towards the village at the bottom. The whole village is in terror and everyone is running around screaming.

Everyone is leaving with whatever they can take with them. But you shut yourself away in your small house, knowing that you are safe.

People bang on your door and tell you to leave with them but you refuse. You are safe in your little house.

You do not want a life where you have to do all those dangerous things. You want your reality to remain the same.

As you sit there, resisting change, suddenly, your house that you thought was safe and sound is surrounded by larva.

The heat is unbearable as it catches fire. It is at this moment that you realise that by resisting change, you have lost.

Your fear of moving and having a different, better life was too great. Your thought you were safe here.

In the same token, you may reach 80 years old and realise the same thing. It is too late to have a different life because now you are too old.

You are too old to change and your resistance won and you have lost. Do not perish or get too old before you understand that a different reality is available to all those that do not resist change.

To realise that you have the responsibility of creating a different life for yourself. Do not tell your grandchildren that you almost had a great life.

You almost went on amazing adventures. But you didn’t and no, you don’t have any exciting stories for them.

You don’t have any lessons for them because you did not fully experience life. You cannot play with them because you are not fit and healthy.

You thought that by doing nothing you would be safe and yet here you are. You lose what you don’t use.

So use your imagination to inspire yourself to take massive action, acknowledge and ignore your resistance.

To create a magical life that you can recite to your grandchildren endlessly. To fill them with excitement as to what is possible in their own lives.

Create a life for yourself that inspires others.
