A love affair with learning…

Since our first ‘Activate Your Superpowers’ workshop I have to say my learning curve has gotten very grunty and life has taken off in new and stimulating ways. The learning is expansive and oh so exciting! The six years the book took for me to solidify and actually write – from the seed ideas sown in Chartres (France) in 2006 to the reality of holding the book in my hands - feel like a blur of growth when I reflect on it. But truly, if I thought my growth accelerated through the writing process, it has amped up considerably since publication and the creating and presenting of the very first workshop. I am totally inspired to bring the superpower ideas and context for life to the world. I am a true believer of the inherent brilliance and potential in us all and remain committed to assisting others to discover that in themselves. As you read this, know there is someone who believes in you completely – ME! Whether you are an ‘old dog’ or a young one, it is very safe to say YOU CAN LEARN new tricks.

I feel so very blessed to have found my ‘lane’, my calling, my vocation, so relatively early in life (my mid twenties). After more than two decades of full immersion in personal development off the back of my career in the Police, my quality of life just keeps getting better and better. If I died tomorrow I will have died at my happiest so far (which is a very comforting thought!). Living on the edge of my own happiness is great but I don’t want to die tomorrow though because there is still SO MUCH to do and I have not finished learning and contributing yet by any stretch of my ever-expanding Imagination (a human superpower).

By learning to ‘see’ with evolutionary eyes; by choosing an orientation for life that positions me as contributor to something much bigger than my separate self; by seeing enlightenment as ongoing and never-ending - like a musical note I can ride and ride, and by giving myself over to the highest purpose I can dream up, I can appreciate it all and see everything as a weaving that is truly a masterpiece – utterly perfect (and perfectly flawed), forever-evolving and truly awesome.

There are many problems for us to solve in the world today. We will not solve them while we ‘see’ them from the limited perspective of ego. We are evolving as a species and being challenged to grow out of our species immaturity and into our prime. In my view in spite of all our advances on so many levels, we have not even scratched the surface of what more we can Be.

We are all called to education that aligns with who we are in essence. If we listen, we will find out way to our natural path through life. There is such perfection in our process if we can become more aware of it and cooperate. Perhaps it is time to honestly evaluate the education we expose ourselves to. Should we be encouraging young people to learn more about how they tick as humans so they can follow their own dreams? Or should we push them through a system they don’t really relate to so they can begin to accumulate an alphabet after their name? In my view there can be a powerful mix of internal and external education that will equip young people for a future we haven’t imagined yet. We ‘old dogs’ can use our worldly experience and grow more from the inside out. It is time for us to step up and be the leaders of our generation.

Remember the old quote “If you’re green you’ll grow – if you’re ripe you’ll rot”. Choose to have a love affair with learning – make that affair last your whole life through. If YOU want to accelerate the expansion of your consciousness and get more tuned in to your own ‘evolutionary integrity’ (what you are designed to be), pay some attention to your natural powers of Awareness, Imagination, Intuition, Reason, and Will – and watch your life take off in all the ways you dream about…you can afford to back yourself – really! From that place the education you need will become obvious, whether via Tech, University, the street, the internet, or wherever you are led – from the inside – out. Follow your own dreams – in the end they are the only ones that matter.

And that’s it from my view,
Keep it real.
