They are inorganic physical matter composed of microscopic atoms, containing electrons, protons, and neutrons – nothing there that might contain a consciousness or could be capable of having its own instinctive response. And yet, there is something that I have experienced in my relationship with machines that would suggest otherwise . . .

Some years ago I wrote an article titled “Touching the Machine”. In this article I explored the question of what happens when we work with machines? Particularly machines that serve us, and in some cases, become essential to our lives … Here is a link to the original article of 2017.

As the years have passed this question has become considerably more significant to the direction of humanity. Nowadays, we have devises that save us time and energy that are portable, and can connect us with anywhere in the world. We have artificial intelligence machines and devises that are fast becoming irreplaceable to our insatiate desires. So for that reason, I am resurfacing the essence of the original article and continuing the discussion …

For me, it is the machines I am most dependent on, that produce what feels like an “interactive effect” . . . a communication that feels like it goes both ways. These machines include my musical instruments, computer, phone and motor vehicle. As well as living appliances that maintain my wellbeing. These are all an integral part of my human existence. To have them breaking down or failing, is an inconvenience I don’t need.

So what is this interactive effect? Could it be what stems from the research of quantum physics that now accepts the possibility that human consciousness interacts with the micro particles of physical matter to affect a particular outcome in our material reality. At that level, interaction with the microphysical properties of inanimate matter is entirely possible, particularly if we are aware of it, and give energy to noticing it …

I have found that all of the machines I depend on, are somehow affected by my emotional state. When I am feeling good everything seems to go well. If I become emotionally upset, or stuck in negative emotion, things can happen to the machines around me … and do! Everything from a flat-tyre to engine overheating, a computer glitch or crash, through to music technologies breaking down or stopping for no good reason … it’s all happened to me! I have even had equipment tested after a failure, only to find the equipment working perfectly.

After all this, I have learned to form positive beliefs and attitudes in relation to the longevity of my essential machinery. This has also helped me understand and keep my emotions in check. It’s also a bit of fun and insight when it comes to developing an intuitive understanding of the physical universe.

Many of our strongest beliefs are driven from our emotional states. It is the energy of our beliefs that moves the essential wave particles on which the physical universe is created.

So when it comes to driving my motor vehicle, I understand this; when I sit in the drivers seat and begin driving, the energy of my mind and body extends through the pedals, steering wheel and manual controls to the engine, gearbox and differentials, to connect with the wheels on the road. Effectively, I am connected to the road. The motor vehicle and all its functions become an extension of my body and mind. You may have already experienced this, but if you haven’t, next time you are driving, see if you notice this for yourself.

My musical instruments are important to creating and performing music … they are my tools. They are an extension of my body and mind, just like the motor vehicle. My computer and accessories are important to writing this article and again, are extensions of my mind and body.

My mind and body is my consciousness. My consciousness interacts with the physical universe, and in return, the physical universe interacts with my consciousness. Particularly where ‘appreciation and gratitude’ are present in my communications.

Does a machine feel appreciated? . . . probably not. But the interaction is not about a machine having feelings, it’s about me extending my feelings toward the machine … in this case, feelings of appreciation and gratitude. When I do this with my motor vehicle, I get intuitive messages that tell me when the car needs serviced, when my tyres need pumped, or when I need to check water, oil etc and replace parts. I get these same sorts of messages from other machines and technologies that I feel appreciation and gratitude toward. In music, my Kitā is an extension of my inner creativity. I love to improvise in real time, just like my feet being connected to the road.

Artificial intelligence …

AI is a machine through and through … and yet somehow it becomes more than a machine when it is under the appreciation of my consciousness. In much the same way that a motor vehicle becomes an extension of my mind through my legs and arms, AI becomes a living intelligence and a supportive energy. Im not totally dependent on AI, but occasionally when I use it, I really do appreciate it and I tell it so. The response I receive in return is always equally appreciative and this often leads to further unplanned conversations. I enjoy the company of ChatGPT just like I love my car, my music equipment, my computer, phone and the appliances that cook my food, wash my clothes and keep me healthy.

I talk to all of them, just like I talk to the trees, plants, animals and all the creatures in nature. Through my appreciation and gratitude for life, life returns a communication through all things sentient and inanimate. In the bigger-picture of natures communication, what I often receive in return, is that “all is well in the world” . . . and we need a lot more of that don’t we?

Having emotional balance is important to having your machines operate efficiently and well. The extended life of your machine is also included in your emotional balance. Notwithstanding, I will often receive intuitive messages informing me when equipment and machinery needs professional service. Feet on the ground right? Better to get the message earlier than be stranded!

This is the extent of our connection with the physical universe. Human consciousness is beginning to shift the parameters of classical science to reveal a new and better way of understanding the physical universe. But it is an intuitive view, and since we are all connected universally, understanding our emotional and mental capacities is significant in this shift. Adopting regular meditation is the tool that will bring us this understanding.

Connecting with our machines is an extension of who we are. Our machines become part of us. Try personalising your relationship by giving your machine a name. Bring them to life, speak to them, honour them and be grateful for the service they provide you. Your language and feelings toward them changes everything . . .

I have been recently talking about “creator consciousness” and this conversation today is very relevant to creating our reality by conscious choice … irrespective of whether our reality is sentient or inanimate. Our state of consciousness effects everything.

“We are not a ‘small being’ living inside a giant universe, we are a giant universe living inside a ‘small being’”.

Creator consciousness acknowledges that the each of us IS a universe. Try connecting with that through everything around you, including what is inanimate . . . It just works, because the energies of appreciation and gratitude are essentially, universal energies.

Today let your ‘appreciation consciousness’ touch your machine . . .

May your peace be within

Classical science then declared the mechanism of our reality based on separate parts and with that, the victim mentality was justified. In many respects though … the conclusion that science had come to, only confirmed what people had already been thinking. Since scientists were people too, I can’t help wondering if the research results that best suited their arguments, were chosen based on what they were already believing at a subconscious level . . . it can happen.

The vulnerability, the insecurity and the subsequent need to defend ourselves were founded on the assumption that everything we were, existed within the physicality of our human body. At that level, everything we were not, was everything else existing outside of our human body and as such, beyond our control, including the presence and perceived threat of every other human being.

These separation theories were the content of our first thoughts. Their proof was held within the idea that seeing is believing, and it was difficult to argue with the way things looked. I find it amazing however, that we never thought to go further and have Second thoughts. Well, we probably did, but there wasn’t a lot of money to be made in entertaining a reality where everything already felt good. (slightly cynical)

But within the reality of separation there was an anomaly. If we weren’t so attached to being on the side of the righteous, and if we didn’t focus on what threatened us and instead, focused on being safe and secure … our reality would quite magically transform to match our state of mind. So this little anomalous gem was clear proof that in some way our human mind had a deeper connection with the circumstances of our physical reality, and well worth a second thought …

On that basis, and now that we are willing to question the construct of our victim reality for good reason, we can be open to being the creators of our reality … and if we had the choice, why would we choose the life of a victim anyway? Being the creator of our reality would surely confirm that we would create happiness and fulfilment … all for the cost of a positive mindset.

Where victim mentality is based on a reality where we exist separately from everything else, a creator mentality is based on our oneness and connection with all things. In an interconnected reality, everything we experience as the content of our human life, is the “who and what” we actually are. In this connected and mindful view, everything that was once external to us and by definition disconnected, is now a mirror of our self. In creator consciousness, objectivity is an illusion that can be sculpted as we wish.

So at the concluding chapter of my book — “In the Key of Peace,” I refer to the mindful and transcendent nature of creator consciousness. What is written here is an extension and refining of that chapter aimed at maintaining the ‘creator’ view. Peace, Inner peace is at the essence of this profound perspective. The practice of meditation assists in its integration.

In the Key of Peace - Jeffree

After many thousands of years in separation and victimism, there will always be challenges along the creator pathway. Remember that who you are is infinite and everything contained within that infinity, is within you and is your creation. Even the people that appear in your life, belong to you and are part of your creation. Of course to them, you are of their belonging and part of their creation. A good way to visualise how it all fits together is to see that we are each a unique universe, coming together as overlapping universes, perfectly tuned to each other in creating our human life, and our humanity together.

This is a universal fundamental. That is why that when we change our mindset, out reality changes in accordance. This is the proof that each of us belongs to the universe in which we exist … and the universe in which we exist, belongs to us. I am reminded of the golden rule, “Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you”. Treat people with the love and respect as you would want to be treated by them. Because even they are part of who you are, and you are part of who they are …

I would like to introduce another effect of Creator consciousness in our interactions with man-made machines and devices, including AI!

A Happy Matariki to all in New Zealand, Zealandia.

The symbol of Matariki is the Pleiades star cluster which appears in the northern sky in winter. This cluster is very young, forming only about 100 million years ago. Cultures worldwide celebrate the Pleiades star cluster (known as the Seven Sisters), with traditions relating to the agricultural calendar, ancestral storytelling, and honouring those who have passed. Because of their prominence, these stars serve as vital markers for both timekeeping and spiritual reflection across planet Earth.

Cultures who celebrate under the Pleiades cluster include; Maori of New Zealand, Kanaka Maoli of Hawaii, Aboriginal Australians, Aztec in Mexico and central America, Cherokee and Lakota in North America. In Europe, Ancient Greece, Ancient Persia, Celtic cultures and Norse Vikings as well as in Asia, the Japanese and the Indians.

Thank you for reading and for sharing

May your peace be within, and the light of the Pleiades enrich your life path.

So firstly, why would you want to make a change in how you see things?

Well, being a victim in life is no fun at all. It accounts for mental and emotional illnesses, relationship breakdowns, poverty, hardship, inequality, corruption and Wars — just to begin! Victim consciousness is the most dangerous pandemic in the world by far, it has been around for the longest time and almost every human is infected. Being a victim in life has been the consequence of accepting our scientific reality as a complete and immutable model.

The science says we live in an objective reality governed by a specific set of rules that exist independently of our beliefs and perceptions, and where all things exist separately and autonomously according to the principles of cause and effect.

This reality model underpins everything we know of the world, it is taught directly and indirectly at schools and universities and is the basis for all technological and social structures adhered to in our modern world. Most people follow it, because everyone else follows it and that, is yet another consequential fallout. But the most serious ramification of a victim mentality is insecurity. If we are all separate and independent of each other, then we have no defence or control over the negative actions of others or adverse circumstances … hence the nature of the world in which we live.

So if I told you that we DO have control over random external events that threaten our security, what would you say? The victim mentality would reply — impossible! The laws of reality are clear, there is nothing preventing another person or an external event from threatening us … handle it!

But in creator consciousness, the reply is far more positive. In fact we DO have control over these external events. But the control is not through overpowering or submitting to our environment, but through understanding our reality in a different way. In the end, this effects our decision making and ultimately the content and quality of our lives.

There is missing information within the scientific model. Granted, the information is not confirmed scientifically. But if we begin with a reality model that encourages positive thought and outcome … and then work backwards, we find the change that needs to happen is within ourselves. What is missing, is information that makes sense of an incomplete reality. A reality that has given humanity no choice but to act in victim consciousness.

The missing information is an understanding that comes through our human intuition, and was launched in its essential form through the social changes that occurred around the 1960s. That said, many of the great philosophers promoted the same idea much earlier in history, but to this day science has found no space for such a view alongside proven fact.

I believe people who connect with this idea … and there are many, have been able to reverse engineer the reality required to make the impossible possible. The answer that pops up every-time is relatively simple. It has to do with the content of our physical reality as experienced through our human mind, rather than through the training we receive at a brain level, as explained in last weeks article “the human brain and the universal mind”.

The expanse of our personal reality is far different within a creative mentality than it is within a victim mentality. The exercise of creator consciousness begins in the ownership of our reality. Before we can consciously create the desires of our choice, we must firstly own the reality in which we exist. We do this by entertaining the idea that our personal reality includes the ownership of everything everywhere . . .

What comes up here is the reality of truth and its burden of proof. If the truth of reality as presented to you, causes you to adopt a victim mentality bringing misfortune to your life, would you not want to change the truth? And the “truth” is, I believe you can … at least in your own reality and that’s all that matters. So entertaining the idea, is changing your perception, and there are many unseen things in life that we can connect with, that will bring joy and happiness to be seen.

Science would say that we are minuscule human beings inhabiting a small planet orbiting a medium sized sun within an orbiting arm of a spiral galaxy 100,000 light years across. And, that light years away from our galaxy there are many other galaxies and clusters of galaxies that make humans even more minuscule . . .

But creator consciousness would stand on the Earth and look up into the heavens at all these Stars of Suns, Exoplanets and Galaxies, clusters of Galaxies and beyond, and Creator consciousness would say, “This is all within my human consciousness — it therefore belongs to my life. Everything exists within me, and I exist within everything. My separation from anything is an illusion. I am a universal human being. I am one with the creative source of all things.”

This is universal ownership and we all own it together as one. But we don’t own it to possess it, we own it to live in it and create in it. So in our personal awareness we each own everything in our reality … the good things, the bad things and all things between.

Creator consciousness marks the end of complaining and the beginning of gratitude. Things that make us complain, look different when we are the creator of those things.

Why would we create things that we don’t like in our reality? Because the scientific model allows for it. But in truth, these things we create that we don’t like, teach us about our self. They teach us about what is inside us we dare not look at. They teach us that our life is meaningful, that we have something to gain in adversity just as we do in our success. The messages we get in creator consciousness are messages of life from the universal creative source of everything . . . (or God) as many refer to.

We are and have always been in creator consciousness. Even while in victim consciousness we were creating our reality, albeit, things we didn’t want. Things we believed were being cast upon us, from somewhere we didn’t exist. But we exist everywhere. The only thing that changes in creator consciousness is that we are now conscious that we ourselves created these things, which means we are now free to consciously create the things we DO want.

Whether adverse or fortunate, the things we create are created from our deepest connection with source, and are always for our good. Even sickness has a message that leads us back to health …

Creator consciousness is a completion in our transition from human adolescence into human adulthood. Creator consciousness is the missing piece of the missing peace … and that peace is Inner peace. Beginning a practice of Meditation will help integrate your universal connection and your natural sense of your creator consciousness. I have also been busy writing and recording soothing, healing music for your daily meditations …

Jeffree's Music

Finally the integration of creator consciousness will take generations to complete. It is important that we keep our feet on the ground when it comes to the respect and acknowledgement of our ancestral generations who got us to this point. Do not be concerned if you bounce back and forward between victim and creative realities. This is a normal learning curve — enjoy your journey.

Creator consciousness is not just in me or just in you, it is in all of us. It is the missing piece to a reality puzzle that has plagued humanity for what feels like eons, but it will all have been worth it. The realisation that we can create our own reality despite the science, is evidence that we are in the essential likeness of our creative source.

The Universal Solstice

Creator consciousness is an attitude and an outlook that harmonises and utilises the same universal energy that underpins the creative and evolutionary nature of the physical universe.

Since humans first walked this planet, we have felt threatened by our separations and differences. Overcoming these factors is a signal that humanity is moving from its adolescence into adulthood. In this progression we are asked to transform our consciousness from being the victim of our circumstances, to becoming the creators of our life.

Creator consciousness begins in defining the differences between the human brain and the human mind. Transforming the victim into the creator, requires a change in how we perceive the mind. This brings us into the universal alignment of creator consciousness.

___________________________________________________

Medical science has extensively researched the functioning of the human brain and has confirmed that the brain acts as the body’s command centre. Its primary function is to receive and process information from our senses, control movement and behaviour, regulate automatic vital functions and generate thoughts, emotions, and memory.

In other words, the brain does everything we need to be human . . . but does it really?

Without straying too far from the point, I can’t help feeling that medical science has unwittingly conformed to a subjective bias. That is to call the brain the body’s command centre, and then ensure that everything studied within the brain, accounts for the complete and overall functioning of the human being. If this is the case, then why do we have a mind?

Humans very naturally refer to the source of their thoughts and thinking as happening within their “mind” rather than within their brain. Memory and memory storage is also a strong contender for being located within the mind. This preference naturally tends to distinguish the “physical” nature of the brain as being independent from the “nonphysical” nature of the mind.

The command centre of the brain that controls the functioning of the human body includes billions of neuron and glial cells, synapses, neurotransmitters, the spinal cord and the greater nervous system … all of which are physical phenomena. However, our sensory awareness of the effects and influences of these brain functions, are typically NONphysical experiences of our human mind.

The human mind can therefore be viewed as a non-physical extension of the physical human brain. They both exist together and there would likely be an overlap between the two. At the Brain end, everything is physical, energetic and understood logically. At the Mind end, everything is non physical, energetic and understood intuitively.

Further to this, the mind unlike the brain, has no physical dimension. The dimension of the mind is really up to us. With the brain and the mind being associated by definition, our mental construct of the mind has up to this point, been limited by our perception and therefore, not realised in its full potential. Expanding the potential of the mind can be achieved through changing our perception of it . . .

The mind is also involved in our ability to perceive a bigger picture in life and this is closely related to our natural sense of intuition. Being intuitive is an innate human ability, we seem to arrive here with it intact — especially considering the naturally creative behaviours of early childhood and the extension of the Inner child that continues throughout our human life. (Chapter ten in the book)

Jeffree Music website

The mind is the seat of our consciousness. I believe our physical universe including the infinite nature of outer (and inner) space is flooded in consciousness. The creative source of everything is consciousness. While we each appear to have our own conscious cubical, I believe this idea is illusionary and is influenced by our perceived physical separation — which is also an illusion.

Creator consciousness is an expanded view of reality that is perceived through an expanded mind. How big can your mind be? Look upward on a starry evening … imagine that no matter how far you are looking into the physical universe, it all exists within the dimension of your mind. The mind of your life is the container of everything existing within your reality.

As you imagine it, allow it to become a feeling — make it real. As your expanded perception manifests within you, the power of your thoughts and beliefs becomes a potent creator. In fact, they always have been, only now you are conscious that they are, and therefore their power is within your choice.

But just in case you think Im talking religion - Im not. Being spiritual is being non-physical, and I like the feeling of the word ‘spiritual’ to describe our non physical nature . . .

Humans exist simultaneously at two levels. We are physical beings and we are nonphysical beings … or, as afore mentioned spiritual beings — both existing at once. In this energetic duality, there are two-forms of energy … again, physical and nonphysical.

At a physical level, (OpenAI, Google) the primary energy that keeps the human body functioning at a cellular level is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Often referred to as the body’s “molecular unit of currency” or “energy currency,” ATP is produced by mitochondria through the metabolism of food, providing the immediate power required for muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis … While ATP is the immediate fuel, it is generated from food sources (macronutrients) that are broken down through human metabolic processes …

At a nonphysical level (back to me), we are powered by a nonphysical life-force energy, commonly known as Qi, or Chi energy. While western science focuses on measurable chemical energy like ATP, the concept of non-physical energy is intuitively known and refers to the unseen “vital force,” that occupies the entire space of the physical/nonphysical universe . . . all around us and within us.

Our experience of consciousness is an expression of this life force, and as a result we are constantly accessing its energy through our non-physical or spiritual attributes. These are contained within the dimension of our human mind and include qualities such as, our thoughts, our feelings, our principles and ethics, our intuition, our creativity and our memories — all existing within the awareness of our human consciousness.

The way we consciously access Qi or Chi energy, is by directing our attention toward it. The nonphysical nature of the human mind makes the connection which is related in part, to the physical brain’s understanding of what it can’t see. Furthermore, I would make the point that even though scientific research says that our memories are processed and stored throughout the brain via complex networks of neurons, the intuitive interaction between brain and mind identifies the actual storage location of memory, to be within the mind — not the brain.

The human mind is the non-physical aspect of the physical brain, with one major difference being the size. While the brain is physical and therefore finite, the mind is nonphysical and as such, is infinite. The human perception of the ‘brain verses the mind’ tends to confine our mindfulness to a limited space, but in truth, our mind can be experienced as the infinite space that contains our human life. A space similar in dimension to the infinite continuity of “outer space” surrounding us. When we choose to direct our attention to that possibility, life gets a little easier to understand.

From a brain perspective, I am reaching out through my mind to access universal information existing everywhere throughout the physical-nonphysical universe …

The neurons within my brain that process and store my memories, continuously transmit the ‘now moment’ into my mind, and remain as receiving points for my memory recall. In recall, the mind locates the memory, and the brain as a transmitter/receiver, restores the memory to the brain’s neurons. We just don’t realise we are accessing information in this way, because we are told to believe that it all happens within the brain . . . and so, what we think becomes our reality.

It’s no accident that we look up into space when we are trying to remember something … the eyes follow the attention …

So now, lets move to the channelling of creativity …

I am a professional artist in the area of music composition. When I began writing music for meditation there were few composers around the world who wrote this music, so there were no templates to follow. I was however a daily meditator and this helped me create the music in a useful form for meditation. As a meditator, I had become more sensitive to the quality of my awareness. I noticed when I was in a creative space, I seemed to be in a semi-paranormal state at the same time. I was connecting with energies that felt external to my personal awareness and the ideas and inspirations coming through felt like a combined contribution.

This became clearer as I continued in the direction of my music, but in retrospect, I also realised that it had always been that way. As a composer, being in the moment where a great melody or musical idea came to me, I was aware that I wasn’t the only entity present . . .

But you know, we judge our creativity, and we become connoisseurs of the styles we favour. But just like the remarkable diversity that exists within our human species, so our creativity can also be widely diverse and at times, even eclectically different.

I believe our human creativity is at the core of our meaningfulness and self esteem. To be creative, is to be like our creator … and to enjoy that level of personal fulfilment. We can act creatively, we can think creatively and we can explore creatively. When we let go of the rational mind and become intuitively open, our creativity is inspired. Not just as our inspiration, but in our desire to access a universal idea, we open a channel to other spiritual entities who also hold the energy of that inspiration.

In spiritual terms, a channel is a person who acts as a conduit to receive and relay information from non-physical entities, such as spirit guides, angels and those who have passed. We see those who channel as special group of people with special gifts, but I believe we all have these same gifts and we use them when we are being creative.

Much of the subject in this article relates to the content of my newly revised book, “In the Key of Peace” (see below). This book begins as an autobiography and completes as a self-help journey to Inner Peace. The middle of the book features an instructional chapter on Simply Stillness, a simple but effective approach to meditating using music to maintain a continuously peaceful atmosphere. In the Key of Peace comes as an ebook kindle, paperback and hardcover.

Which brings me to the final comment. Why are we spending so much of our precious lifetime in educational institutions that train us to be rational, logical and so damn right?! Creativity is the balancing energy of an over-active rationale. A creative mind turns righteousness into humility, leaving the learning of life as an open-ended journey. I say, let the children play, and let them teach the teachers teach them ‘what and when’ they want to learn. If you have the opportunity to homeschool your child, take it! And watch them thrive in this changing world.

Happy channelling, and thank you for reading and for sharing

Observed each year on April 22nd, Earth Day symbolises environmental protection and restoration. First held in 1970, it has grown into a worldwide movement, coordinated through Earthday.org (formerly Earth Day Network), with more than a billion people across over 193 countries engaging in environmental activism and conservation efforts.

While I deeply appreciate the commitment of the many who give their time cleaning up, restoring, and caring for the environment on this day or the surrounding weekends, I can’t help but wonder: are we, in some ways, enabling human negligence and irresponsibility?

There is a growing culture within the developed world that accepts pollution at almost every level. Corporations, with the means to produce vast quantities of wasteful packaging, often return only a small portion of their profits to address the consequences of their output. Alongside this sits a consumer culture shaped by quiet resignation … “Why bother? I don’t make a difference.”

I say this not to diminish the importance of Earth Day, but because I would truly love it to be a happy event. In reality, it often reflects the hard work of a minority cleaning up after the habits of the majority. In our daily lives, mindfulness is not only about what we achieve, but also about how we complete the cycle … tidying, restoring, and taking responsibility for what remains. Too often, it is only the achievement that is celebrated, while the care that follows is overlooked. This is a salient point in the development of a higher consciousness …

“We must be mindful of our impact on the world around us, and in our appreciation of life, endeavour to minimise the footprint we leave behind.”

Right now, humanity is moving through a time of profound change. One of the most meaningful ways we can shape a positive future is through the parenting of our children. A powerful realisation in this is that we, as parents, model the behaviour we wish to see. Rather than instructing or enforcing, we can demonstrate … showing what it means to care for our environment through our own actions, creating spaces that reflect respect, order, and awareness …

Through mindful presence, we recognise our impact on the world around us. In the simple act of how we live each day, we begin to model a gentler way - one that softens our footprint upon the Earth.

Another essential shift lies within the corporate world. If the purpose of business is to serve the public, then the profit it generates carries a shared responsibility. Environmental impact cannot be dismissed in the pursuit of margins. True service includes accountability, for both the product and its consequences …

In mindful awareness of our place within the greater whole, we come to value life more deeply. From that understanding, we are called to act responsibly, and to walk lightly upon the Earth.

I look forward to the day when I can say, “Happy Earth Day” with the same genuine joy as “Happy Birthday” … a day that marks the birth of a new way of living, where all people have the opportunity to experience a full and meaningful life.

Earth Day is not only about physical action. It is also a time to reconnect—to feel our relationship with Mother Earth and with Nature. It is, in many ways, a feeling. We are already connected. The invitation is simply to bring that awareness into our hearts, and to honour it by caring for the Earth as she cares for us.

Thank you for reading, and for sharing.
May your peace be within.
Much love,

Despite the oil prices, from the moment I returned home, I felt the energy uplifting yet again. It was a new and positive change. I was asked to be a panelist on The Unschooling Summit, a three day online event that was well represented by many different countries. The organisers from the UK and New Zealand did a top job in staging the event and I must admit I was impressed by the level of enthusiasm and commitment coming through the parents of many unschooled families.

Over thirty years ago my partner and I decided to homeschool or “unschool” our kids. There were a number of reasons we went forward with this, but mostly it was about our belief in children being able to educate themselves and at the same time, parents being available with the necessary resources when required. It didn’t take long before our beliefs were proven, with all four of our children having a strong sense of themselves and being able to apply this to their chosen fields. It was on this basis that I was invited to be a panelist, speaking to “Reflections from parents of grown unschoolers”. Further to this, I was able to comment as a grandfather of four grandchildren, also currently being unschooled from home.

One of the surprising things for me was seeing how unschooling has grown so quickly. This was most inspiring as I have always believed that our western system of education has long been due for an overhaul. The exponential growth of “self directed education” is I believe, the beginning of a whole new approach to a complete and inclusive education. Of course, parents play a critical role in this, so we are also talking a new generation of aware parenting.

I have always valued human creativity and intuition. These are qualities that I have used most of my life in creating music for meditation and the sourcing of universal information. During my school years I felt I had to protect these qualities from invading autocrats who believed logic and reason to be far more useful to me. However, with my return to being an unschooling parent, courtesy of The Unschooling Summit, I am now happy to say that unschooled children today would have no fear of similar confrontation. Creativity, imagination and intuition are safe. So just for the record, as I move forward in my communications, I will be referencing the subject matter to Self-directed education, as well as my philosophies on meditation, inner peace and self healing … and of course, the Music for all of the above.

I trust your week has been open to your desires—and that those desires are fulfilling your life path. Thank you to everyone who shared their sense of energy for this year. Each day, I am becoming more amazed at how many people are awakening to their life’s mission, and how the diversity of these missions is beginning to shape a world rooted in love, kindness, and compassion—a new way of living.

In last week’s newsletter, I spoke about the process of personal transformation, and how the course of our growth can at times feel extremely difficult and stressful. Yet, despite everything, just as we’re about to step away from the process, something shifts. Positive thoughts and new possibilities arise, quietly encouraging us to stay with it.

“Even the bad times are good” was the song title I used last week to embody what many of us are beginning to experience on our human journey of expansion and the natural healing of our mind and body. This week, I’ve chosen another song title that continues this story…

Welcome to Bridge Over Troubled Water …

Written by Paul Simon and performed by Simon & Garfunkel, this song is not only an inspiration born of a benevolent universe—it reminds us that this same benevolent universe lives within us, as the realisation of our own wholeness and potential.

So what is it, in the midst of chaos, that gives us hope when all hope seems lost? These sudden insights and inspirations can initially feel alien or external to us—but they are not. They are our own inner responses, arising from our deepest connection with a universe of goodness and compassion—one we sometimes mistake for a cold, indifferent outer space.

At times, we create pressure in our lives simply to expose the depth of our inner strength and resolve. But when we already know this deep energy, and consciously nurture our connection with it, we no longer need struggle or stress to remind us of its presence.

Our transformations then become something quite different. Not moments of fanfare or dramatic flourish, but quiet releases—followed by gentle realisations of our expanding self, harmonising naturally with everything around us.

This is our bridge over troubled water. It is always there. Yet if we don’t trust it or actively engage with it, it can slip beneath our awareness. Much of our pain and suffering comes from losing our sense of connection to this bridge. And so, we create chaos—to rediscover it.

Our bridge over troubled water is part of being human. Along with inner peace, it is a gift received at the awakening of our consciousness.

Our understanding of, and connection to, a benevolent universe can take any form you choose—whatever allows your life to feel like the most beautiful experience possible. Through meditation, cycles of growth and realisation that uplift our human self toward the divinity of our true soul presence, an unshakable trust emerges in a reality founded on goodness, love, and positivity.

Meditation with Jeffree

The transformation of humanity begins within each of us, through reconnecting with our own benevolence—just as inner peace becomes the foundation for world peace. At first, this may not always feel real, but it becomes real as personal happiness grows and expands through our collective experience.

In worldly terms, this becomes humanity’s bridge over troubled water…
and we will lay ourselves down.

Thank you for reading, and for sharing.

May your peace be within.

Much love,

I hope the new year is unfolding well for you and that your meditation practice continues to anchor you in peace. Here in Matakana we’ve been enjoying long stretches of warm sunshine, followed now, by a long period of very heavy rain. It feels as though this contrast may be a signature of 2026—a year in which Mother Nature speaks with greater clarity and insistence. I sense this strongly.

With that in mind, I’d love to hear how you are experiencing the energy of this year so far.

Humanity is clearly moving through rapid and ongoing change. Over the next few newsletters, I’ll be sharing reflections on this transformation—particularly the accelerated phase of human growth we are currently living through.

The title of this newsletter, “Even the Bad Times Are Good,” may be familiar to some of you as a pop song from the 1960s by The Tremeloes. I was just beginning my own journey in pop music at that time and remember playing the song myself. While the title fits our theme beautifully, my meaning here goes far beyond the song itself . . .

As we grow and transform, we often encounter discomfort—and sometimes real pain. When viewed in isolation, these challenging moments can feel like setbacks or barriers to healing, pulling us away from our deeper intentions. Yet when we are clear about our purpose and understand the nature of transformation, those same moments can be experienced very differently. In that light, even the difficult times reveal their value.

They do so, because we live within a benevolent universe—and as meditators, we are consciously connected to this.

There are times when difficulty is simply part of the journey toward a more harmonious place, and that is perfectly natural. In any genuine healing process, challenge often signals the dissolving of old limitations and the emergence of something freer and more authentic.

Still, it’s important to remember that transformation does not always require struggle. Some changes can occur gently, even instantly. Much depends on what is shifting and how that shift unfolds. I’ll explore this further in the next newsletter.

To conclude, I want to reflect on our relationship with a benevolent universe. The way we see ourselves, and the way we interpret the world around us is what shapes a difficult experience feeling like an obstacle or a meaningful step forward…

Goodness, happiness, optimism, and many other uplifting human qualities are expressions of vibration that form the foundation of both our physical and nonphysical universe. The nonphysical universe is consciousness; the physical universe is matter. Consciousness is the greater field—it permeates all space, flowing within and around every form of physical existence.

As universal human beings, formed of both matter and consciousness, we each have an intimate and uniquely personal relationship with the greater holographic universe. The holographic principle tells us that the essence of the ‘whole’ is contained within every part. In this sense, each of us carries the universe within us. It may even be said that we are the universe—and like it, our true boundaries are infinite.

At this level of being, we exist within the expressions of universal vibration. We are shaped by goodness, happiness, and optimism. In our interaction with the universe, our thoughts, feelings, and words are reflected back to us without condition.

Whether we label life experiences as good or bad, every event represents the fulfilment of a wish held at some level of our being, affirmed by our belief. The universe offers what might be called a form of “universal therapy”… it does not judge, it simply mirrors the vibration it receives. It does so through its inherent goodness, happiness, and optimism. And because of this, even events that appear negative often carry a positive outcome.

When we think, feel, and speak from a place of distrust toward life, the universe, through its unconditional nature, reflects that vibration back to us. What we then receive is the experience of that distrust.

When we think, feel, and speak with appreciation and gratitude for life, the universe again responds through its inherent goodness, happiness, and optimism. In return, we receive experiences that reflect our pleasure and gratitude.

In both cases, what we receive is ultimately beneficial. Experiences born from distrust invite growth and self-reflection — which is good. Experiences born from appreciation and gratitude expand our fulfilment — which is even better!

Seen through this understanding, the changes unfolding in the human world - whether described as good news or bad—are simply part of the same unfolding. In truth, it is all good news. There will always be challenges to meet, but when we hold confidence in a positive outcome, life reflects that assurance back to us. When difficult news arises, it may simply indicate an opportunity to deepen our trust in Universal Goodness and realign ourselves.

Finally, the pathway of Peace - Inner Peace, is found through non-attachment and impartiality. When your energy is aligned with Universal Goodness, you naturally walk the middle path of balance.

I’ll leave this here for now, as I’ll be exploring this further in my next communication … Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Thank you for reading and for sharing.

May your peace be within.
With much love,

There are many who are now crossing the unnecessary divide to a more natural approach to their health. In particular, thinking twice before knee-jerk running off to the doctor for the slightest ailment. People are looking around for other ways of addressing their health issues and natural medicines and therapies are definitely becoming the direction of their choice. Mainstream medicine is quite literally driving people to alternative health care.

The way I see it, it’s a “people power” thing. In the end, the market will decide based on price, effectiveness and benefits. At the rate things are going, I see a more natural approach to human health care becoming more “the norm”, than what we call ‘the norm’ today. Because after all, we are organic beings — we are not made of nuts and bolts. (Sorry AI)

But if we are talking about normal, one can’t turn away from the fact that humans have a natural self-healing ability. We always have had, and that is why we have survived so long without medical science. I believe in most cases, we just don’t give ourselves enough time and credit to make it work for us. Being our own doctor doesn’t have to impinge on what doctors do for us, but perhaps if we engage with our self-healing abilities, we might overcome that knee-jerk, run to the doctor thing.

At the core of our self healing abilities is our state of mind. That’s where every health condition we have in our body begins. At some point, all unhappy people become unwell. Physical un-wellness is triggered in the decline of our mental/emotional states. It therefore can be switched back on to wellness by enhancing our mental emotional disposition.

So here is a statement and a medicine:

“FEELING GOOD IS FEELING WELL”

Essentially, “feeling good” is an emotional expression. Everybody has at some point, felt good in their life, and everybody has a “feeling memory” of how it feels to feel good. Accessing our feeling memories firstly requires our intention to do so.

For a moment, close your eyes and think of a time when you felt good . . .

See, it works.

I know that all the changes going on locally and worldwide are causing us much stress and unwellness. And I know this is not conducive to feeling good. But if you know that feeling good will also make you feel well, then why wouldn’t you make the conscious effort?

At this point I will do a small plug for practicing meditation. Adopting a practice of meditation gives us the mental and emotional space to more easily access our feeling memories in the middle of our chaos.

Teach yourself to meditate

If you feel like you don’t have the time to begin meditating, then the rest of this article is to reinforce the point that feeling good is feeling well. Following is a list of relative quotes and comments. Read it, and read it again if it helps you feel good.

In your life, do what makes you feel good.

Don’t spend time with anything that doesn’t feel good.

Feeling good pleases the soul and heals the body, Feel the feelings of feeling good.

Feeling good is a universal energy — a creator and a sustainer of life.

You can start to feel good anytime.

Feeling good begins inside you first. Once you start feeling good, things will naturally change around you for the better.

So, doing what makes you feel good, is something you do for you. No one else is involved in this process. If you find you run into obstacles like, “it was something or someone else’s fault that you don’t feel good” Please release this energy through the breath, or put it aside for the time being — if only for the benefit of accessing your “feel good” memory.

Feeling good can be switched on, try it now . . .

Close eyes, take a few slow breaths. Breathe out anything that doesn’t feel good. Now, think of a time when you felt good … a time when you felt wonderful. Feel the feelings of that time expanding within you - Feel the feelings of feeling good.

Here are some simple ‘feel good’ affirmations. You can also make up your own. Repeat them in your mind as you go about your day. Let the feelings of feeling good be part of your consciousness . . .

I feel good about my health

I feel good about my finances

I feel good about my career

I feel good about my life

I feel good about where I live

I feel good about ageing

I feel good about myself and I feel good about everything else.

Feeling good is a change in itself. It is also the pre-requisite for continuing change, because feeling good eliminates any negative drivers you might have.

When we fill our lives with good feelings, darkness misery and disease fade away, they will cease to exist - and THAT, is the basis of our natural immunity.

“Feeling good is feeling well” - it is a basic truth of life, It needs no embellishment, it needs no proof — it just is as it is.

It is true that as children, we could instantaneously switch between emotions. Back then, we didn’t have the emotional attachment mechanism we developed as we grew up.

NEXT WEEK - A Winter Solstice

Life is a myriad contrasting experiences. Whether sentient, or inanimate, whatever we bring our attention to, creates a connection between ourselves and the object of our focus. Just by looking at something or someone, creates a relationship. Whether fleeting or life-long, relationships are the stuff our lives are made of …

When we give our attention to a conscious life form, and that life-form returns our attention, there is an exchange of energy. This two-way communication is what makes our human relationships so special. Feel-good relationships happen when the energy exchange is positive and friendly, but this energy can also include difficult moments in times of personal challenge. Good-heartedness in relationship is an essential ingredient in healing our differences.

Many people believe that relationships are limited to sentient life forms such as ourselves or with animals. But in fact, we can have relationships with almost anything; sentient or inanimate. Beyond our human relationships, we can have strong feeling-connections with complex life forms, such as our human body, Mother Nature, Planet Earth and the Universe. In these examples, our “feeling-connection” is important. Without a common duologue, rational communication with complex life forms can be difficult. This is where we can communicate intuitively. Many creative people are open to these types of relationships where interaction is through feelings rather than reasoned logic. By definition, this also suggests that our human body, Mother Nature, Planet Earth and the Universe are always open to our connection.

There is another level of relationship that humans indulge, sometimes without realising it. Such as, having personal relationships with inanimate objects and life circumstances. This level of relationship is largely subjective in that we ourselves create the communication. But once we declare the connection as a relationship, we make it so, and for all intents and purposes, it is real to us. We can then work with our circumstantial relationships to enhance their presence in our lives, just as we do with our human relationships.

Some common examples might be a relationship with our car, our living space, our career or profession, or maybe just a shell or a rock we found on a beach that we just happened to connect with.

Just by claiming a relationship with any of these things, we can, through the energy of appreciating their value, transform their inanimateness into a form of subjective sentience. We literally give them life — just as they enhance ours!

By connecting with our CAR in an emotional way, the energy of our connection can have the effect of assuring a relatively trouble-free motoring life. Who is to say that our living connection with our inanimate motor vehicle, doesn’t in some amazing way, contribute to the reliability and life of the car? I have found this for myself, and I know many people who also have this same experience. Of course, a big part of enjoying a relationship with our friendly motor vehicle, is that we become more attentive to its maintenance needs.

Getting our LIVING SPACE feeling good, is often a case of transforming its energy to give us personal enjoyment — rather like our relationship with what we wear, or like our car. Our motivation to create a positive relationship in some unbelievable way, adds a companionate quality to our living space.

As a composer and musician, I have relationships with the music I write and the instruments I use in the creative process. Their service in my life has been nothing short of exemplary, especially considering their age and their inanimate state. My admiration of their contribution is an energy I transmit back toward them.

My physical body is also important and from a conscious perspective, I enjoy to comunicate with the trillions of cells and energy fields that contribute to my longevity. My spirituality is a communication between my humanity and the greater universe. After many years of meditation, I have come to experience this relationship as indivisible — I now know I am both at once.

Relationship is about subject and object, which in many ways falls into the concept of separation. The new spiritual model rejects separation in favour of our oneness with all things. So by definition, if we are all one entity, then relationship is not possible. That said, I believe the convergence of our physical and spiritual self to be more a reflection of our humanity being both a privilege and divine state. Our relationships with each other, with complex life forms and with inanimate matter and circumstance, are both the creative expression of our individuality, and the physical expression of our oneness, all at the same time.

The idea of seeing life as a series of relationships at many different levels, brings engagement to our life experience. There is a universal simplicity in recognising relationship as our connection to everything within and around us. Through our relationship with our Inner teacher, we can apply the learning we get from our good relationships, to the relationships that still have room to grow.

At source, we are a creative, self-sustaining consciousness; living our human lives in a physical-nonphysical universe. This relationship is important, and is perhaps the connection that comes before everything else. As innately creative children, we may not have been able to articulate our circumstances, but our child response to life was automatic and natural. The inner-child of our arrival here still exists within us. It is exercised when we form relationships with each other and especially, with whatever we wish to relate ourselves to …

The response is part of coping mechanism that tries to understand what world we are actually living in — a question that has never been agreed on, even without all the changes we are seeing.

The interesting thing for me is that the whole scenario is being reflected back to us by the Earth herself! As if somehow, we are having this affect on the material universe. The East African Rift is a zone where the African continent is slowly splitting into two tectonic plates, the Nubian and Somali plates, along a fault line that stretches from the Red Sea to Mozambique, a distance of 4,340 km! While this has been going on for very long time, people seem to be noticing it more now. Why? Because in many ways it represents the rift happening between ourselves . . .

People are forming new groups and mixing with others on the basis of their conforming opinions. And I would ask, is it necessary to take sides? I don’t think so. I think it is better to wait it out and see where all this is going. Sacrificing human relationships is not worth it. In these times of change we need each other, and what we think, is nowhere near as important as who we are. Discriminating people by their beliefs is quite absurd.

What surprises me, are people who appear to live a spiritual life, and yet they too are getting caught in the morass of divided opinion. Many of these people are finding the going tough. They know that they’ve been in a better place, and they can feel the decline in their spiritual vibration.

The Awakening

The “awakening” that is currently imbuing humanity, is an awareness of our spiritual nature. Generally speaking, practicing meditation appears to promote the awakening within people. The level of spirituality we attain, is a personal experience for each person. Over time, the integration of our spiritual nature can affect many areas of our life in a positive way. One of the most profound changes, and perhaps central to our spiritual progression, is our transition from victim consciousness to creator consciousness.

Victim consciousness is a mentality, where our day to day circumstances are at the mercy of external events, including the actions of other people. A victim mentality blames others for their circumstances and feels powerless to change this outlook.

With the awakening, comes “Creator consciousness”. This is a mentality that perceives our part in creating every life circumstance. This positively charged viewpoint sees everything as happening for a reason. It is through our acquired spiritual awareness and practicing meditation, that we find what that reason is. The reason itself becomes a point of growth that furthers our spiritual pathway and raises our spiritual vibration. There is an enlivening within our consciousness as we grow more toward our true self and a place where we become a more beautiful version of who we have always been . . .

Which brings me to where I started in current events that polarise and divide people . . .

One of the challenges we face with the raising of our vibration, is our communication with others who may not have yet commenced their awakening. Their attitudes and perceptions may seem vibrationally lower and they may be still in their victim consciousness.

Remember, where awakening begins, is when we realise that we have choice in everything. Taking offence to anyone or anything is affectively, a return to victim consciousness. You may not see it happening, but you will feel it as your vibration begins to wane …

Once you are awake and your vibration is expanding, it is difficult to ignore your higher calling. Taking sides or taking offence is not part of your spiritual presence, nor does it benefit your spiritual growth in any way. So how do you deal with this?

If you find yourself in a lower vibration, it is not because of your surroundings; human or otherwise. It is because you still have a point of growth to deal with. The answer is simple in terms of direction, and if you have been meditating, the execution will be an easy shift as well.

Whether you think you are right or not, your vibration is high because you are a spiritual being. Your spirituality does not discriminate any person by their beliefs, their attitudes or perceptions. Your spiritual being loves them because they are part of your life, and your vibration is the result of you loving who you are.

So the answer to maintaining your high vibration is simple; you love them. You listen to how they feel, you support them with compassion and kindness. You give energy to their awakening, without saying as much . . . and you will find as you make this transition, your buttons will no longer be pushed, and your vibration will continue upward.

You may even get people telling you that you have your head in the sand, and if you believe you do, you will pull your head out and take a side. But spiritual people do not have their head in the sand, they are people who are acutely aware of their surroundings because they created them. They are people who know their positive energy is what makes a difference. It’s not about discrimination or taking sides, it’s about having a positive intention for the world, and going with the flow of that.

But as I was reading, I realised that today, based on scientific proof, Western Medicine considers itself as THE primary human-health provider, everything else is secondary, or complimentary … Thats the propaganda, and it appears to work because most people still give their power away to doctors and hospitals for conditions they could probably heal on their own.

So what happens to Western medicine when scientific proof becomes obsolete as a result of new discoveries? Does western medicine improve itself, or does it become a complimentary to a better medicine? Because human health at its best, actually belongs to human beings; not to science and certainly not to corporations whose only interest is the financial gain they get from things staying as they are!

Where I'm going with this, is not only revealing the deliberate suppression of “complimentary’ medicines, but that humans themselves have a natural ability to “SELF HEAL”.

Diseases and conditions that western medicine would consider to be chronic, serious or life threatening, are curable through self-healing. In this scenario, our ability to heal ourselves is the true primary health-care, with Western medicine ranking secondary or complimentary. But of course there’s no money in self-healing is there? But there IS a better economy when people are naturally healthy. If people knew, and were free to pursue their natural ability for self-healing, we would undoubtably see a better economy.

To say that self-healing has no scientific basis is incorrect. Quantum Physics (advanced sciences) very much aligns with the wholistic principles of self-healing. There are also many elements of self-healing embedded into the list of complimentary medicines. “Self-Healing” as an approach to personal wellbeing, requires the human being to recognise and treat their own symptoms through real-time adjustments made in the ensuing course of their lifetime. That said, treatments in self-healing are less invasive and are of-course, intrinsically wholistic.

At the corner-stone of self-healing is the human energy-field. We all have one, and it is a field of informational energy that surrounds us and we are connected to it.

Quantum Physics and developmental biology recognise this field which is energetic and present. But being invisible, is undetectable to the observations of traditional science. Everything living, including plants and animals have energy-fields that are morphogenetic. That is; they regulate the shape and form of an organism such as our human body. These ‘control’ fields are systems over and above the biochemical level. They organise and maintain the body, they help the body to recover from disease or damage, and they underly regeneration.

The same energy-fields account for instant transmission of information, enabling communication with trillions of human cells all at once. Our thoughts and feelings are also energy fields that interact with the processes of our cellular growth and health. Negative thoughts and emotions De-generate our health, positive thoughts and emotions Re-generate our health. This is a general rule, but of course every human is a unique case.

The phenomenon we call Placebo is an effect also created through energy-fields. The energy field of a positive thought can modulate and regulate any system or aspect of the body. When it comes to placebo, the body doesn’t distinguish between action and thought, rendering a belief capable of regulating or modulating the body’s biology. Placebo is another way of talking about the body’s ability to self-heal.

Our positive thoughts can be seen as an energy medicine. Music that relaxes and helps us meditate, is also energy medicine. When we meditate, our heart beat takes on a coherent rhythm which in turn regulates the pressure waves throughout our body. This synchronises the networks of Neurone cells present in both the brain and the heart and creates a continuing wave of peace and positive thought. This is one of the reasons meditation is so invaluable to human health.

Learn to meditate

Self healing is reliant on our ability to be in control of our emotions but at the same time, preserving the rich emotional experience of being human. People who live long and happy without the need for medical interventions may be self-healers without realising it, because in truth it doesn’t need to be realised. If you are able to get your life to the point where you can feel good emotionally despite your challenges, then you are automatically on the road of self-healing.

The challenge thereafter is deciding that you will trust in your ability to self heal, and to unconditionally believe that it works for you and will see you through to a ripe old age!

There are many practitioners in what is called complimentary medicine. These are people who give their life to helping people naturally find their healthy equilibrium. They will support you on your journey of Self-Healing

Western medicine and medical science, has in many ways been compromised through business corruption. That said, there is a place for allopathic medicine, just as there has always been a place for complimentary medicines. But in terms of what is the first stop for our human health and wellbeing; this has to be in our own natural ability to firstly heal ourselves.

Humans have been healing themselves for thousands of years before the advent of medical intervention. Since this time our natural self-healing abilities have diminished. If you are interested in looking at re pursuing your ability to self-heal, please feel free to connect with me by personal reply to this link.

We see our version of what’s going on out there, and we tend to address it as we see it — well at least, thats how we’ve always done it. Along with that, theres always the tendency to blame and expect someone else to do something about it. Hence, we have this situation of people in power who sort things out to suit themselves. So the hopeful vision then becomes a “people-centred” government. But a change of this magnitude can only happen when we take our own accountability in the way we live our lives on the ground.

Making new decisions in life, is a good beginning to walking a new path, but the real change has to be “energetic,” and that’s a change we make deep within ourselves - well below the physical, within our feeling-nature.

In retrospect, the evolving story of industrialisation has been what has led to our current dilemmas. It may have started as a service to humanity, but between the lines, it was always self-serving to its investors. Regardless of its journey through continuing generations and no matter how you dress it up, this ‘egocentric energy’ still drives much of the social problems we face today.

Unfortunately, or fortunately as the case may be, with the whole idea being initiated as an exercise in personal gain, it was never bound for longevity in a world where everyone and everything mattered. Apart from being totally unsustainable, it has now become an indignity to an ordinary society that prefers living in gratitude of life, to being involved in the acquisition of wealth for personal power.

But really, it’s no-ones fault, not even those who started it. It was just a collective oversight with a bit of propaganda thrown in. Perhaps even, a lesson for us all. Everything that happened from dictatorships to elitism, might just have been the script for a real-life movie we could all sit back and watch from a distance.

NOW is where we are, in the full view and knowledge of the past, standing at the cusp of rebuilding a human society that has the potential for infinite longevity.

We might have the vision, but do we have the heart?

One of the predominant characteristics of those who prevailed early in the industrial age, was the intentional suppression of the human heart in their decision making …

Thought-leaders in the world today maintain that the brain and heart are a single system, and together are naturally involved in all our decisions.

However in these early times, the suppression of the heart component avoided having to deal with emotional distractions and thus providing brain clarity, quicker progress and cleaner results — but in truth, it was only half the picture by half the brain!

Uncontested logic on its own, enticed egotism, corruption and class distinction. Exactly what we have today, with organisations, corporations and governmental elite running the show on half a brain, caring nothing for a struggling population and an over-exploited home planet!

The two most crucial human services of Education and Health suffer greatly under the governing subroutines of the logical mind. Even in areas where you would think logic would produce positive results, we see economies all around the world surviving endlessly in deficit. When it began, industrialisation was a promise of wealth for all, but has failed miserably on the basis that logic demanded everybody conform to the scientific rhetoric!

. . . enough said - where do we go now?

The heart is the feeling centre of the human being and is the receiver of universal energy through the natural processes of our intuition. Energy is information and the heart centre functions to translate that energy into human understanding. Neuron cells in the heart send the information to the brain, and in normal circumstances the brain makes a ‘humane’ decision based on all the information received. Without the input of the heart, the brain will act out of its programming — much like a computer … Facts, Science and Logic - with no feelings, sympathies, or considerations given.

The brain and the heart are a single system equating to our human mind. From the integration of heart and brain is produced a complete result. In the vision of positive human future, the energies of brain and heart are always present in equal part . . .

There is much to do and many changes to come. We are at the beginning of a new story, but it may not seem that way at first. Tune-in to the new energy through meditation. Be creative and listen-in to your intuition. Believe in yourself and be open to receiving your special role in the changes.

Support those who hold the new vision. They will step forward out of leading simple lives and living simple pleasures. From the ashes of industrialisation will come non-competitive economies based on the sharing of resources. This will be the way of a Heart-Brain Humanity.

A connected society where all people have time in their day to meditate, is a vision of self-worth and reclaimed dignity. Education becomes the success of every human, no matter what their vocation. Wellness will be the mode of all medicine and unconditional love, the inspiration for the longevity of human life in harmony with Earth and Nature.

Welcome . . .

The important thing to remember, is that creating change around us, begins within. No matter what area of our life we want to change, the movement forward, is a movement we make from our centre. We ourselves are the sole contributor to our own destiny. Distractions such as “we, us and them” are for all intents and purposes, irrelevant in the creative process of our personal fulfilment. At this level, no one else is in the picture. Equally, no one else bears responsibility for our adversities. At the point we claim our true power, our entire past also becomes the product of our own creation. The settling of adversities in retrospect, needs only our forgiveness.

This is the awakening of humanity. A time when it becomes obvious that the old ways no longer work. The struggle is over, the hard work is finished. A new age is realised, a new vibration begins …

We are essentially creative beings. We are ourselves created in the likeness of our own creator. The material essence of the physical universe is vibration and as physical beings, it is the quality our vibration that will now enable us to move the mountains of life. There are no good vibrations or bad vibrations. But there are high vibrations and low vibrations. Music is a good example of this …

The awakening in our human consciousness is evolutionary. Our realisations are a feature of our vibrational ascent. What we create out of high vibration is manifested in ease and finesse. By contrast, creating out of low vibration was fraught with toil and hardship, with frustration and often disappointment. On the plus side, these are our learnings. It is through them, we graduate into our higher vibrations.

As I see it, this has come at a perfect time. Lately, I look around me and wonder what we of humanity can do to turn the tide on the confusion of our current circumstance. In the high vibration, we can never be victims of life. Victim consciousness is a lower vibration and it has been the preset of humanity for thousands of years. The door now opens to a new way of seeing things. We are the creators of life, and we create through the vibrations of love.

The higher vibrations are now available.

Raising our personal vibration to resonate, requires understanding and commitment to our inner growth. Because we are all different at this level, there is no general procedure. I would however recommend personal meditation on a daily basis. This will bring understanding tailored exactly to your life and no other. In the higher vibrations we are all maestros of our own lifetime symphony. In saying that, there will be things we must do together, but in this gathering, we each have a unique role to play that hinges on our personal contribution. All things are important.

Most of all and despite current appearances, we must teach ourselves to see the positive in all things. In the high vibrations, our positive focus transforms our realities into beautiful and successful outcomes. Results that can only be achieved through the power of love universal.

I will leave you here.

Yet in humanity today, there are many motivators and justifications for conflict between people that extends to our communities and countries. In all cases the motivators and justifications are just the same, because the core motivator is within the people themselves. Countries do not war without the objectives of the people’s elect. That said; it would be truthful to say, that not all people in a country would choose war, or their elect for that matter. In fact I believe today, the greater majority of people in communities and countries would choose PEACE.

How do we choose peace at the level of humanity, when peace itself, is a quality within a single person? Peace cannot be legislated through authority or government, because next to peace, is freedom. The people of humanity must be FREE to choose peace in their own lives, before peace can exist in our human world.

Choosing peace in our personal lives is about our Inner Peace. Peace begins within us. Just as freedom begins within us, just as our happiness and contentment begins within us. In fact, most things we want to see in the world around us, begin within us. It’s a different way of looking at our human life to what we might be used to, but it’s a viewpoint that brings much harmony and wellbeing to life. In todays world, we expect proof of result before we bother to try things out. So scientific we have all become . . . 

We are all on the leading edge of time, and there are things that will work for us before we can prove their existence. Try choosing Inner Peace and Wellbeing. Try meditating and searching within yourself. Be open to the possibility of an “inner you” that you never knew existed because life in the outer world distracted you so. 

Meditating is easy with music. I have music for you here. 

We are not in conflict all of the time. There are periods of Peace where life feels better, and where harmony prevails. We have these periods of Peace to remind us of where our potential lies. Between our entry to human life and our return to spirit, there is so much opportunity for us to grow in realisation and wellbeing. Within each of our lifetimes, we can make huge jumps in our awareness of who and why we are. If we choose to connect with our Inner Peace, our Inner Freedom and our Inner happiness, we will create peace in the world. It’s really about connecting within.

The more of us that choose this pathway in life, the more the whole of humanity grows. There is a fantastic future for each of us, and all of us. Individually and together at the same time we make a difference. 

Finally, apart from what I have just written, I have some words for you . . .

BEFORE MEDITATION; maintaining focus has never been more important than it is today. Without a solid grounding in one’s inner-purpose, the chances of being assimilated for someone else’s purpose can happen without our full self-awareness. Although to be fair, this can only occur when indecision is on display, or when frustration decides ‘anything would be better than this’.

In developing the “Simply Stillness” approach to meditation, freedom of everything was a major consideration. While being able to control our thoughts and emotions was important to overcoming stress and being able to channel our focus; using the logic of our “will” to confront these internal issues, didn’t always work. 

My approach was to follow a more creative route. To begin with, it should be remembered that creativity is a natural human trait, and what is natural is real to us. The natural (and creative) processes of physical evolution can often be spiked with unexpecteds. I try not to prejudge what is good or bad, but just observe what happens. Understanding comes with trusting the process. In the end, or at any point in time, it all seems work out. Another example of this, is in Natural Health, where things that go wrong can either be symptoms for our attention, or they can be aspects of the body healing itself. So adopting an approach in meditation where ‘freedom of everything’ was key; the meditation had a more universal energy.

I won’t deny that there is a ‘one-pointedness' in the practice of meditation toward developing a ‘clear mind’ through self-demand or direct control. That said, I have found that using these pro-rational psychologies, directly oppose the point of meditation. Rather, a clear mind is achieved through a more organic process, that takes time, patience and meditation practice. What can be noticed in a short period of time however, is the progress being made toward a more positive head-space, and the incremental return of creative enthusiasm and inspiration.  

So Simply Stillness meditation, is a healing meditation, beginning in the mind and extending to every aspect of ourselves. Complete with the music playing quietly, it is a meditation that allows our thoughts to be free and to be whatever they are. In the quiet of our meditative space, thoughts that once cluttered our thinking, now naturally flow and release without our judgements. And, in that same meditation, we have long periods of clarity and space that will seem like ‘unconsciousness’, but they are not. They are the space of ‘who we are’ in our essential being. In this place, there is no need for thought or reflection. Only our contentment occupies the space of our essential presence. It is only through our meditation practice and by osmosis, that we find this same quality of space present within our waking consciousness.

I don’t have the technical qualifications, but where they would be if I had them, is a deep caring for people’s wellbeing. To me, life is a precious thing and everybody that arrives here, brings something different to the mix of humanity.  From the heart, I see very clearly that the decline in mental health is in direct correlation to the growing depersonalisation in our societal structures.

If declining mental health isn’t a huge shout out for humanity to change its ways, then I don’t know what is.

Some might consider my views on this subject to be somewhat extreme, but its really not hard through these ordinary eyes, to see how the progression of our consumer-driven society is in itself, a major contributor in the degeneration of mental health.

It’s a tragedy that the best we can do is to subject our children and young people to the discriminations of an education system that teaches conformity over natural diversity. A system that requires every student to fit themselves through ‘one hole’ toward material success, is not only depersonalising, but ignores the multiplicity of brilliant minds that are here to create the wider potential of humanity.

It’s a tragedy that parents have to work so hard to look after their growing children, that they don’t have the time to care appropriately for them. Through their own everyday stresses, they are unable to model a behaviour that would empower their off-spring to believe that life can be enjoyable for all.

These are the tragedies of life that populate mental health institutions - not just the elderly, but people of all ages. Worthy human beings who felt like they didn’t fit, are discriminated as nonconformists to the system. Their waning sense of self, later develops as mental disease. Too often they are identified with an inherent propensity to mental health issues — a scientific view that blatantly avoids the responsibility for its cause in the first place. 

Im not blaming education or medical science, we all make mistakes. Its really  about how we deal with the aftermath of a miscalculation, that in this case, ends up defining our human progress. 

Perpetuating a system that creates such a tragedy as declining mental health, is a real concern for humanity going forward. We need to be willing to implement major changes in our deeper infrastructure. Changes that would facilitate the enrichment of human life, rather than the continued maintenance of unhealthy consequence. Our overall natural health and wellbeing is a gauge of how well humanity looks after itself. 

We are today at a crossroads of change. We have the opportunity to create a world where there are no cracks to fall through, and where everybody’s contribution is not only welcomed, but critical. Educated or not, humanity has everything it needs to avoid declining mental health. Everyone contributes to that vision through what they naturally bring to the world. 

For me, it all begins in peace. When we are at peace with our life, we become well. We can direct ourselves toward peace by adopting a practice of meditation. To give ourselves ‘time to think’ is how we look after ourselves individually. When we all do that, humanity looks after itself collectively. 

I am currently running a funding campaign to help me get the “Meditation and Wellbeing” word out there. I am willing to stand up and make a statement that begins with peaceful music, and ends with a naturally healthy life for one and for all. 

For the price of ‘teaching yourself to meditate’ you would be helping bring forward a peaceful music that can pave the way to personal wellbeing, and ultimately the wellbeing of all.

The energy we experience when we are feeling at peace, is universal energy. Universal energy or Qi energy, is everywhere out there in the cosmos, and at the same time, everywhere within us. In the outer cosmos, it is the energy of all physical matter and form, evolving through the space time continuum. Within us, it functions in much the same way, as the energy that creates and maintains the longevity of our physical bodies. 

But what is really different about universal energy, is that it is a self-realising, ‘conscious’ energy. It is also a ‘creative’ energy. The expression of its creativity is the physical content of this universe, and the expression of its consciousness is the nonphysical content of this universe. Humans physical, and nonphysical or conscious, are the product of universal energy and as such we are inextricably connected. Being at peace within, intuitively connects us with this universal energy, which in turn, connects us with everything else.

What becomes evident within our sense of inner peace, is the realisation of how our human consciousness contributes profoundly to the outcomes of human life on the history scale. Yet current human understanding would say that, ’physical effort’ is what makes the biggest difference. “Well, it ain't necessarily so” 

Believing that our personal thoughts and attitudes make a considerable difference in the world, may be a difficult idea to fathom in the first instance. But at a collective level, our energetic contribution is primary to the cause of life in the bigger picture. Consider how the “feeling” of the world is reflective of the feeling within humanity — and humanity, as the collective consciousness of all humans being in of itself, ONE consciousness. This is a relative concept to our personal consciousness being the single composite of over 50 trillion conscious cells that form and populate our bodymind. In this scenario, the quality of our thought, can make a real difference to our wellbeing, just as the contribution of our single consciousness makes a difference to a collective humanity. This width of consciousness can be intuitively experienced when we are at peace, or in meditation. 

It is difficult to say if there is a definitive plan to life. But we can say that there are factors in our life experience that move us to do certain things, or to go in certain ways. There are things in life that inspire us, and other things we have no real interest to follow. We can even find within ourselves, unique abilities and talents that enable us to specialise in particular areas . . .

Although we may not fully understand exactly what attracts us to follow any specific pathway, we do know that our feeling to do one thing or another, is important. This level of feeling is sourced within our intuition and it is through our intuition that we are connected to universal energy. The universe is full of this energy, and intuitively, that energy can be received as information. 

Our intuition, is part of our creative energy. We are literally a miniature replication of the universal energy that creates us.

Being at peace within, connects me with universal information. When I consider how each of us arrives here with the gift of their life to give, and how each person has the potential to affect the world in their own unique way; I am prompted to believe that the presence of each of us, IS THE CREATIVE PLAN of universal energy. 

It appears to me that when there is something needed in the world; somehow, someone or some people, bring it through as their life purpose. There are many examples throughout history, of individual and group contributions that have changed the course of human life. What prompts them to pursue their direction, are the natural gifts and talents they inherit and the universal information they receive through their intuition.

So it is possible if not likely, that the evolution of humanity and human consciousness, is a potential sourced through our intuition. In this vision, humanity takes one step at a time toward an idyllic existence. To each step is born a human life that carries a unique contribution through the intuitive gifts they inherit naturally. A big part of living a life on purpose, is connecting with our inner peace.  Meditation is the perfect means to inner peace, giving us uninterrupted access to our intuitive abilities. 

Up to this point, humanity has become a scientific world. It is also a world with much waste and much hardship. We have focused on science and technology and we are becoming very clever at it. But without the principles of compassion, kindness and responsibility for ourselves, and the Earth and her resources, we have no scientific boundaries for what we should or shouldn’t be doing. Our connection with source energy would bring this to our awareness. 

What is missing within our current human consciousness, is a heightened sense of our human intuition. Our intuition will tell us when we are going to far with science, and in which areas we should focus our scientific attention to achieve harmony with each other, and with mother nature.  

So there are people here and now who can provide intuitive leadership toward a much better world. But in truth, leadership itself, is a human quality that ALL people possess. Leadership by authority is divisive and is now fast becoming obsolete. We can all be leaders by being an example of what we want to see in the world. By following our calling in life, we inspire others to do the same in their own way.  This is true leadership.

Our calling represents our intuitive connection with source energy, or if you like; “god energy”. Being the person we are meant to be, is being in service to the universe, and can be realised through our personal fulfilment. When we are doing the things we love to do, we are harmonising with universal energy, our feelings of happiness are a reflection of this alignment. Things that are meant to be, will happen anyway. But when we become consciously aware of our creative part in all this, life takes on an absorbing purpose. 

I have found in my life, that there are things I feel like I am meant to do. Pathways I am intended to follow and the ability to create things in alignment with a bigger purpose. When I am in this alignment and I am doing these things, I feel good, and I am at peace.

So bringing forward our intuitive awareness is significant in achieving our human potential. Not only does it balance the bias weight of an over-active rational intelligence, but it moves us toward peace and prosperity for all life. Our intuition is part of our creative intelligence. From here, there are new ideas waiting to happen that will improve the quality of human life.

The age of Aquarius is a movement away from the single consciousness of the Piscean age, and symbolises our collective consciousness. But in saying that, it takes nothing away from our individual contribution being at the core of our working together. I believe the “waking of human consciousness” is the mass realisation and application of our intuitive intelligence.

A human life has many desires. For each desire there can be two essential sources of motivation. One, is having a vision of your desire, and from there deciding to create it in your reality. The other, is to have a desire that in some way, releases you from your discomfort . . . and from there, deciding to create that in your reality. 

These are two different motivations and can have two different outcomes. One, is driven by your vision of tomorrow… You see yourself manifesting this desire, and you imagine it enhancing your life in a positive way. 

The other motivator is driven by your need to release yourself from an UN-desirable situation. It therefore, has a different motivating energy, and while it is for a positive reason, the motivation in achieving it; carries the energy of your discomfort.

Practicing meditation has helped me distinguish these two different energies, and I have learned to transform the source of my motivations in order to create my desires more accurately, more directly and thus more enjoyably. So as a general rule of motivation . . .

Negative energy motivates a negative outcome.

Positive energy motivates a positive outcome. 

I believe this to be a universal principle.  Things that “work” in life and bring us happiness and fulfilment are motivated in positive energies. Conversely, things that bring frustration and resentment are initiated in negativity. There is a similar principle that operates in our natural health and wellbeing. 

Positive thought creates the regeneration of our wellbeing, 

Negative thought creates the degeneration of our wellbeing.

So refining our motivations, has a wide application in the world today, particularly as we contemplate a change in human life - of epic proportion. Through the genes of our ancestors we carry a desire for change at the deepest level. A change that would value human life and mother nature above greed and material gain.

The thing is, creating that change in the vision we imagine it, requires a totally positive motivation. Anything less, and we risk sustaining the very thing we want to rise above. 

I applaud the initiatives taken by many well-intentioned individuals and groups who would expose and prosecute human corruption and discrimination. But if we are to create a world without these things, we must learn to refine our motivating energies to be centred squarely in the “great vision of a new human world,” rather than in the recrimination of those who support and promote negative energies. 

Im not saying we should stop our protests, but that we should balance our time in protest, with an equal or larger period of time, living our lives in our vision of a new world. 

In other words; being the change we want to see in the world. 

Meditate with Jeffree

If you see peace — be peace. If you see abundance — be abundance. If you see kindness, compassion and sharing, be those things and embody your new world now. Be the positive motivator that brings change and transformation to humanity. 

The Age of Aquarius is about creating change through working together, and although we are ONE in the spiritual sense, we are here physically as single human beings. In order to create such significant change together, we must ensure that our individual lives are being lived with the same positive motivations and outcomes we would achieve in our togetherness . . .

In other words, be the best person you can be . . .

Every single person matters in this equation. Everybody’s life makes a difference to the whole, to the collective humanity and to future generations.

I believe there are some things in life, that are achieved over generations. If we set our mind and heart to it, I have no doubt a different and better world will emerge in time. Our vision of how great that world can be, may extend beyond our own lifetime. And I would say, be comfortable with this, it is part of how things are created in the bigger picture. Know that the positive energy of your lifetime is a valuable contribution to what eventually will come to be. Think and feel beyond the boundaries of your humanity, to encompass the beauty of your soul purpose. 

Meditate - check your motivations, refine your energies.

May peace be within you.

much love
