Some People

My whole career and life has been about people. Never cease to be amazed. I have been asked whilst working at Joy Music in Jeppe Street early 80's " Can I have the song that is crying on the speakers" I learnt my skills watching, observing , listening to, starting with, pushing my limits sometimes for the fear of getting a klap. Then there was this episode at Sun City with my Dad where he said  that he had been listening to radio, they were punting a festival announcing talent for the day, he could not believe his ears... a act called "Snotkop" at this point I was rolling with laughter He eventually started laughing....people came up with that name......Try say that on english radio.....Fokofpolisiekar is another example. Then there are people you never hear from unless they wanted something......normally concert tickets....to this day I never ask anyone even after working for them all for over 13 years for a concert ticket. Not in my nature I guess? There are fabulous tribes out there, they have a sense of thought and hindsight about them. That is where we are going in the ever changing world. Change of thought..... I can kill you with a thought !!! For those that want to see a remarkable human being and talent, go onto Youtube and look up Eddie Izzard...Death Star Canteen....the one with the most views. You will look at humans as I do... A laugh a minute. The ego's, the money, the ignoring of one ..as if they have never met you. The loyal, the lifetime, the honest, the kind and the kindred Spirits are the people  I want around me to experience the greatest journey this world has ever had. Breathe and take off it's going to be a ride ....

Rules for being Human - Anon

The Rules for being Human

1.   You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2.   You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them stupid and irrelevant.

3.   There are no mistakes only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works”.

4.   A lesson is repeated until learned.  A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go onto the next lesson.

5.   Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6.   “There” is no better than “Here”. When you’re “there” has become “here” you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here”.

7.   Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

8.   What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9.   Your answers lie inside of you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10.                 You will forget all this.

11.                 You can remember it whenever you want.

No wool over my eyes: Stop the Fear

Stop the Fear

I have been asked over and over again to start doing motivational talks and one of the subjects that always comes up is "What are the causes of Failure?"

 It could be hereditory due to lack of motivation or a fearful background, most definately it is caused by a lack of a defined purpose.( one of the major issues). Lack of ambition to aim above medicrity, Insufficient training/schooling. Lack of self discipline, negative thoughts, lack of excercise, eating the wrong foods, not getting enough fresh air or breathing correctly.

Procrastination, lack of persistence, to start and not finish. Not being able to reach decisions quickly like is it Yes or is it No...Decide !! Wrong selection of mate, being miserable and unhappy ( what for? Move on ) Over caution ( life is filled with an element of chance and surprise....Take and embrace  it !!! This makes life interesting.

Wrong people as business partners, open your mind ( Open minds are afraid of nothing !!) Wrong selection of vocation ( do what you are passionate about as if you don't you will not be enthusiastic about work) Go in wholeheartedly!! Lack of concentration -( do not be a jack of all trades and a master of none.) Indiscriminate spending. STOP IT. Lack of enthusiasm. Intolerance.....works for me. Kimo 

What in the world are people thinking - Press Highlights

Turkey - No Football for the fellas due to them behaving badly. Turkish FA allocated 41.000 tickets to woman and children. Captain Alex De Sousa said that the memory off the night would stay with him for years to come. The Woman and Children rallied applause  for the visiting team as apposed to the men who would have had jeers rather. 
PARIS - Police are to busy fighting crime to go " Burka Chasing" stated a member of the police force, followed by Immigration Minister Eric Besson's chirp that wearing a burka makes the people look like walking coffins....Bloody Cheek.... Who is he to say..... Burka's are banned in France, The Netherlands and Belgium.
Australia - According to new research on some DNA found on a strand of hair Australian Aborigines were the first humans out of Africa ( Yes Sireeeeee) 70.000 year ago.
Zimbabwe - " We have started operations, but we have not yet started  flying because there are no passengers " Air Zimbabwe Chief Innocent Mavhunga quoted after a 7 week pilot strike came to an end.
South Africa - " I was made by white people and no black person made me, including those who are now criticizing me" Kenny Kunene ( The Best Self Marketer this country has seen)

Shift of Conciousness - Think differently and experience Change

I really feel that mankind are way to scared of change. The only thing is fear and the fear of the unknown scares the shit out of people. I LOVE change.....it is the start of evolution. We were scared when we heard Deodato's 2001 and that the future was space age. We are in it and it so exiting. What would we do without Google, Youtube, Twitter ( gives you the news long before a paper or broadcaster does now days) We have a freedom like never before to voice our opinion, thoughts and creations. We can work from anywhere, see friends on Skype so the distance becomes just a memory.....Yeeeeee haaaaaaa. This is such an exiting time for us all to question, ask, seek, discover, invent, show, share, and develop !!!!

Could not have said it better myself

The Art of Being Spiritually Fluid

Condensed from an article by Juelle.
Published in Jan./Feb./March 1999 issue of "WE".

Everyone has their version of the way it is. Finding our way takes a lot of questioning and discovery. It is classically the quest of the eternal soul. However, if we become attached to our way that it is, we are done for! We may instead find that we are trapped in our own self righteousness and spiritual arrogance. If this is true, there will be no growth and no transformation, until, we humble ourselves and begin seeking the balance between Knowing and Not Knowing. This allows us to be spiritually fluid, so that our way that it is can dissolve and reform.

Now then, let's say that part of our experience on this planet is to grow, expand into the vastness of our soul's vision, to discover who we are as multi-dimensional Divine beings, and use that discovery to serve our planet and it's inhabitants. How can we really do that if we are stuck in our singular version of the way it is? And how will we recognize this?

The first indicator comes when we find we have a need to be right. Being right has been important in some frameworks of consciousness because it ensures a position of power and approval. Approval, according to some old programs within us, will translate to being loved – and being loved means we are accepted and therefore, not alone. This is how important being right can be.

The second signal is the need to stay in control. We will use control to create a predictable life with no surprises or negative unknowns. We want to feel secure. Of course, it can be a false sense of security, especially when someone comes along and starts rocking the boat by challenging our way that it is.

We will know that we are stuck in our way that it is, when we have the need to prove or ju stify our truth. The key word is, need. We will find ourselves defending our thoughts and position around our beliefs. We may become frustrated or angry when someone doesn't understand us. We then feel unsupported, which makes us react with even more positioning. Then, another indicator kick in and we will look for who is in agreement with us so we can collude together. The feeling is, if we can find some folks on our side, then we must be right and once again we will feel included, loved and powerful. We will have our team.

The unfortunate part of being stuck in our way that it is, is that it can produce a feeling of separation. As soon as someone is right, then someone else is usually made to be wrong. As soon as our team is formed that someone else who is not in agreement is excluded. Separation, exactly the opposite of what we often proclaim as our purpose.

We are cosmic adventurers, exploring new probabilities. If we are attached to our beliefs and truths, seeing them as the only way, we will limit the infinite possibilities that can come to us and therefore omit our experience. Moving past the need to be at the center of our own universe, we discover the balance between knowing and not knowing, which allows us to be spirituality fluid.

There are five suggestions to finding this balance. We can begin by cultivating compassionate allowance. We have established that everyone has their version of the way it is and for many people, they have needed it just to survive. Allow them that. Find compassionate understanding that another's Truth will somehow make sense to them within the construct of their consciousness. We may not agree, but no one needs to be made wrong or be excluded.

Secondly, we can seek a higher form of communication: listening. We are often so eager to tell our own story that we haven't learned to listen. Listening helps us to know where someone is in their consciousness. Are they speaking through filters of abuse or insecurity? If we know where they are, then we have a better chance of meeting them, not to change them or for them to hear what we have to say. But rather, simply to understand one another and allow each other. This is co-creative support.

Compassion and communicating from a higher perspective gives us a loving, yet powerful foundation for what we must do next – take a stand for our truth. This is where we practice the balance between I know and I don't know the most. We can't know each other's truth, only our own, and this is the truth we know right now and this one serves us – until it doesn't.

The fourth suggestion for living a balance in our way that it is, is to "spiritualize it". We will make it personal if we are insecure about who we are and go into doubt. To spiritualize it, means to wrap a thought of perfection, allowance and Divinity around every moment, person, and event. Take all situations to a higher perspective, not personalizing it, and then just doing the next thing we are moved to do.

In the last suggestion, not knowing has to be okay. In other words, we must be able to let our framework of consciousness - with all of it's beliefs, opinions, and truths – be able to dissolve when we hit the moments of not knowing something.

That means, something new in our evolution is breaking through. We must remember that beliefs are, just that. Beliefs! Our reality! Not eternal fact. With the accelerated frequencies of transformation that we are living in now, those beliefs and opinions may no longer serve us tomorrow. Allowing the don't know, creates an opening for new inspirations and revelations.

That is being spirituality fluid.
