“Light can only blind you if you dwell in darkness.” - Daniel Dempster.
 Something which is true will always be the dominant factor in life and you will be subjected to it until you transcend it. Reach beyond your fears as all fear is illusion and reproduces itself in a different form throughout life until the imbalance has been neutralised - it is law.
Some people are scared of heights, water, darkness, social integration, spiders etc, and others are not. If you were to place a spider in the hand of the fearful (blindfolded) with a thick glove, then fear would have no basis or grounds to develop as it is merely the association through cognitive thinking and the fearful energy they have attached to the idea of spiders that scares them. If the spider held the intrinsic power to project fear into the world then we would have no control over it and all of us would fear spiders. It is because we project the belief system and negative energy that spiders are dangerous. The mind is the springboard that works with the body allowing feelings to rush in, both working hand in hand to generate the fears that we house deep within us. The feelings we store inside us can only ever be overcome when we face them head on relinquishing them forever which in turn disempowers the human ego. We begin to replace negative energy with positive, powerful energy. Unless we make a shift in our core thinking and begin to take the pathway back to our centered being then we will never hold the intrinsic power to accomplish any of the major goals that we seek to attain in our lives. We need to sharpen the correct tool to achieve the desired outcome. The same applies where a degree in physics cannot be achieved with extensive knowledge in mathematics. A change of direction and new area of focus and study is necessary to acquire the desired result.  Taken from a series of seven books designed to break the chains of the destructively programmed ego and personality, to unveil the mystery as to why our thoughts and feelings are the main culprits for leading us astray and will assist in leading towards a more structured and balanced lifestyle towards freedom - from pain & misery. The Life Beyond Shadows Book Series has been purposely designed to assist in the breakdown of negativity, illusion & bad habits allowing nature to take its course in constructing a new framework. The following paragraphs have been taken from the book series Life Beyond Shadows authored by Daniel Dempster and are exclusive to Higher Living Network. "Most of us have families, businesses, activities, errands and many other things that we need to maintain and often do not have time to read thick reference volumes of data therefore the information in this book series has been broken down into seven sections for ease of access and clarity when holding the principles in mind. Many of the principles will be repeated over & over again in a different context that they may be seared into the human psyche thus increasing their effectiveness and overpowering the old destructive habits and programming which will eventually fall away. How can we be healthy people if we do not have sufficient mental and physical strength to cope with the demands of our lives that we are faced with today? Most of us could be honest and admit that we rarely tend to our own needs and often feel burnt out due to the lack of energy or motivation in life. Here we have set our priorities in an 'illogical' order. This book intends to simplify the meaning to structure allowing us to construct a new framework and healthy boundaries in all aspects of our daily routine.  There is nothing more exciting than adventurous pursuits and the feeling of expectancy for something we have long anticipated such as the birth of a child, a profound change in our lives, a new partner, a new job or relocation. All of these changes are wonderful and add pleasure to the experience and enjoyment of life, however if we are unprepared for the change then we will fold at the first few hurdles that we come across, that is - if we do not hold enough intrinsic power to withstand our challenges and meet our desired goals. The love that we experience overtime can soon become the bridge that we walk across, the love that we nurture and can allow us to fulfill the needs of others close to us and more importantly, to give the love that we so desperately need to show ourselves. We all need power to carry us through the darkest nights of our days the same as a light bulb needs electric to shine in the dark and the body obviously needs energy to function. Without sufficient energy (power) we cannot meet the necessary standards.  Every one of us has experienced loneliness in some form or another from being left out of the popular kids' circle at school to losing a loved and cherished close member. Though we often cannot see it at the time, this is the loneliness that helps us to appreciate what we do have in our lives and allows us to capture the forthcoming events with willingness and understanding and learn how to travel beyond that old bleak shadow of loneliness into the light. Experience gives us the strength that we need to move forward in life. Every single moment is a lesson and we learn from experience even if we do not see it. This is a momentum that cannot be stopped. You may often think that you are not learning anything, though the brain is processing every second – time, conditions, distance, vision, speed etc. This is all second nature to us however we have forgotten our roots in ignorance from childhood all the way on into out teens and adult years and therefore now seek to re-balance that which we ignored previously. Why else would you be reading this book? You seek information to bring about a pattern of formation where there is no direct order or healthy sequence."
 To fly we need to catch a plane, to avoid getting hurt we need to wait at the traffic lights, to reach our target we must be aware of the obstacles that we may encounter along the pathway to attainment. All of this is awareness and awareness dominates the energy field of the thinker whether he knows it or not.
So now the ego is born and the child seeks satisfaction in anything outside of himself. He knows on the unconscious level that he seeks satisfaction from the world but what he has now forgotten (because of the constructed ego) is that the satisfaction is already within himself – the outside world is only the trigger for inner stimulation. So what happens when the world cannot deliver the goods? The child may become angry, upset, disheartened and now has a whole new array of feelings to contend with. Here we have the negative spectrum of feelings. If the parents are not armed with the facts of human nature then the child can lose their way and become lost for much of their life attracting more and more of the same misery and heartache until the imbalance has been neutralised. It is not a harsh hand of cards that is dealt by life it is simply a learned set of principles bringing about a certain result. The law under which the universe operates does not discriminate any individual whatsoever. The consequences that one experiences are karmically set by the choices and intention of the individual themselves.  Live your life like it is your last day on Earth - Take chances.
Nobody knows when the final hour is among us and it seems that most of us believe that we will live forever in this domain, until the body and mind begin to deteriorate leaving us to question the inevitable. The thought of leaving this world for many people is one that they would rather choose to ignore and face at a later date. Why wait for regrets to come back and haunt us spending our whole lives running away? Should we not live life to the fullest and maximize our potential as each day dawns on us? Clearing the wreckage of our past enables us to walk freely, knowing that we have done the best we could with our heads held high. It then doesn't matter what the result is because there are no reservations of guilt or shame. To achieve this it means that we are to search deep within our feelings - seek to locate all of the suppressed anger, shame, guilt & pain under the multiple layers we have so cleverly constructed over the years. We need to face and shatter the emotional illusion where most of us in the past tended to act on impulse rather than look at reality. Our entire existence will continue to throw situations at us that seek to neutralize this imbalance. We may feel that the world is treating us harsh though it is actually trying to offer us another chance to clear away the problem and will continue to do so until we face it with action, whatever that may be. The same as a broken leg if not tended to by a bone specialist, will heal with the break forever impeding its ability to perform under normal conditions. Pain is caused by an imbalance in the natural flow of energy that is fundamental to our being - we cannot change the fundamentals they are the basis of all other aspects of creation. The result in relevant action is a life-shattering change that comes around, freeing us from the emotional, mental & physical wreckage that often leads us towards the ever-spiraling staircase of self-harm or substance abuse in any shape or form. If we are ill we see a doctor. If we are sad we seek experiences to cheer us up - we take action. Someone once said to me - "Are you living your life to the maximum potential? Do you have your priorities straight?" I had replied with solid confidence that I was surely in good order with most of my affairs. He replied - "Okay then, I have just given you 6 weeks to live - Now do you still have your priorities straight?"  Perfect 2:1 omega 3 to omega 6 balance.

 Quite often it can be easy to engage in small talk and become tangled in the web of other peoples problems. We all remember saying to ourselves at one point or another "Why did i let myself get involved in this!" Social networking plays a huge part in the exchange of information on all levels where discretion and confidentiality can serve us well. Focus is the key to success on a personal level. Focus to reach the desired goal that is. When there is too much going on around us we can easily lose our focus and slip into judgmental habits whilst acquiring an egotistic opinion or viewpoint without even noticing it for days or even years. Being blinded by our own limited perception is the most common source of lack in our lives in an ever-expanding society.
So what is it then that is none of your business? Anything that is not in front of you! What is in front of you is your practice and once it enters your mental space you are responsible for how you deal with it. If you are playing football but at the same time wondering how you will pay your mortgage arrears then your focus and energy is partitioned and you are lost between balancing the two until you choose one direction. Eventually one or the other will dominate your thinking causing the other to collapse from lack of mental & physical strength in the particular. There is no place or business on the football field where you are required to give 100% attention to reach your goal, thus the same principle applies in all areas of your life. There are millions of different engagements in which to participate however they are governed by only a few simple principles. Until the core principles have been mastered by the individual another situation will occur in life to bring the core understanding back into balance. A million words are useless in a vocabulary without a sound understanding of its alphabet. |
