Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes – every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of a man.” ~ Orison Swett Marden 3/7 geometry in nature series taken in Gold Coast, Queensland by @sunnyriver

“Nebula” 2/7. Geometry in nature series. For me the Fibonacci Sequence / Phi / Golden ratio has been the key to understanding how nature designs... and is... a part of the same ubiquitous music of the spheres that builds harmony into atoms, molecules, crystals, shells, suns and galaxies and makes the Universe sing all around us... The mathematical perfection and fractal nature of our existence has always blown my mind, and more recently I’ve found myself really appreciating how certain plants express themselves in relation to these mathematical laws of the universe. So I thought I’d combine a few skills to capture some cool photos so we can all revel in the perfection of our natural existence:) enjoy! taken in Gold Coast, Queensland by @sunnyriver

All the possibilities are in me, but I can pass my life without any real change. The highest energy, which gives birth to all others, is in me. It is part of me. The question is not to make it appear but to allow it to appear, to submit to its action. The more I try, the more the way is restricted, nothing gets through. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I must learn to submit voluntarily to its influence. The active force and the passive force are always pres­ent in us. But two forces alone are not enough. They are not related. A third, reconciling force needs to appear, a certain feeling that allows a relation and thus transforms everything.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ If we could see the action of this law of forces, we would under­stand better why it is so difficult to be present to oneself and to remain here. I need to be present to two parts of myself at the same time, and to experience the necessity of a reconciling force between them. A new feeling must then appear—a feeling of “I” that is turned toward a greater reality in which I participate and, at the same time, drawn by the world in which I live. The call of these two worlds requires me to be present, understanding that they cannot exist without each other and that one should be spiritualized by the other. A conscious relation must appear.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Relation is contact, a direct contact on the same level with the same intensity. There are different kinds of contact: one time I feel, another time I have a sensation, at another moment I see. When the intensity is the same in all three centers, there is consciousness. But a conscious relation cannot come from the old thinking, which clings to words and images. It has no power to see the unknown. Another dimension cannot appear as long as the old thinking is active.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I begin to discover that the highest energy in me is not free, that my thought fashions the state in which I find myself. When I see my suggestibility to the least of my thoughts, my interest awakens... ⁣⁣ .

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it... taken in Gold Coast, Queensland by @sunnyriver

What we may be visualizing as a ‘best case scenario’ may actually be a limitation to our true potential. The higher-mind/self/ (whatever we want to call it) is the part of us that has a more expanded perspective. Following the feeling of excitement is the most powerful way to follow the guidance of the higher-mind. True excitement is our bodies translation of our higher-mind saying “go in this direction.” This is why understanding feelings and emotions can be a game-changer for so many people. Think of the ego mind as the part of us that is in the valley and the higher-mind as the part of us that is on the mountaintop. The higher-mind has a more expanded point of view and can guide the ego self though the valley and up the mountain. Sometimes the ego can be confused trying to do it all, thinking it knows the best route to go. The higher-self however can see the different routes and can see that going in certain directions may take longer than others. Maybe the direction the ego wants to go in will lead to a dead end and the higher mind can see that from the expanded perception. The guidance will be in the form of emotion and intuition. This is tapped into by trusting the process and knowing that we are so much more than just the ego perspective. The Ego is cool and all, I’m not shunning the ego. The ego has it’s place and is part of the human experience, they key is to not be attached to the ego and to know it’s only one aspect. However, the higher-mind/self is where its at ⚡️ big love! taken in New Zealand by @sunnyriver

Change your thoughts like this: To go beyond that which you are experiencing in life, it is necessary to go beyond the thoughts you are currently thinking. This is where the power is, in pushing beyond your comfort zone, and knowing you can trust in the process. The mind’s programmed to keep you safe and to survive. In order to thrive, the thoughts we think must begin to expand, to go beyond the autopilot mind and that of which is familiar. I was talking to a friend about this, about the power of exposing ourselves to new environments in order to create new things in life. The reason this works is that when we do new things and go to new environments, we are forcing the mind to ‘wake up’ to new experiences. The monkey mind on average has 60K to 70K thoughts per day, and of those around 90% are recycled from the days before. This means that doing similar things, triggers similar emotions and therefore brings about similar results. When we expand apon our thoughts, beyond the comfort zone, we begin to form new pathways in our brain. When we are in “uncertainty” that is where the growth happens. Uncertainty equals happiness. The more uncertain we are, the less afraid we can be, the more liberated we can be. The more uncertain we are, the more stories we can let unravel in our lives and not closeout. Lose control, and trust in the journey of life. The universe unravels its secrets to us over time, whether we understand them at that point or not. We’ll never know anything for sure, to be fair, we know absolutely nothing. We only get a mere blimp in existence to try figure this life thing out. So just go with the flow. Be ok with not knowing. The mind will only create ‘familiar’ and ‘predictable’ experiences if kept on autopilot. The key is to go BEYOND the autopilot mode by doing new things and expanding your awareness. To do this you can read new books, start a new project, visit someplace you’ve never been or take your passion fulltime. In the space of “uncertainty”, amazing things can happen and it can happen quicker than you think. What thing can you do this week that will be both “new” and exciting? #teampixel @googlepixel taken in New Zealand by @sunnyriver

Shift reality like this: You’re shifting right now and you probably don’t even realise it. The truth is, we are all constantly shifting, shifting from one parallel reality to the next. Realities that look so similar and continuous that it appears to be ‘one’ fluid reality. We do it so naturally we don’t even know we are doing it. Think of ‘movement’ and ‘time’ as the two things that are shifting you through from one parallel reality to the next. Understanding what I am sharing with you, I believe, can be MORE powerful than the law of attraction. This is because it takes into account the awareness that we are constantly moving into ‘new’ versions of ourselves every second. Every moment is new and with this comes the awareness that we can drop the limiting story we tell ourselves about who we THINK we are. If you knew that every moment you were a totally new version of you, you could let go of so much that doesn’t serve you from the past. Your self image (the way you see yourself) is what ‘locks’ you into the reality you are experiencing - youre always experiencing a reality that is equal to the identity youve created for your-’self’ from a young child. You can think of your self image as the accumulation of experiences or ‘what has happened to you’ in the past. You may think your self image is ‘what people think of you’, but the truth is, everyone’s perception of you is different. And your perception of how other people perceive you is different again, lol, so In affect, there’s so many different versions of ‘you’ running around out there in peoples heads you couldn’t even begin to fathom, and these perceptions are also changing as you go through life. So good luck figuring that one out 😂🤣. . The key to this is first becoming more aware of who you truely are inside, or who you want to be (no one else can figure this out but you) and then making a CHOICE to be/do and behave in a way that is consistent to how you would prefer to be.
