Hi everyone. I just wanted to post this quick email at the beginning of the weekend. Like many of us, the busy working week and family commitments can leave us disconnected from the silence which is so important for us. Each day, if you can carve out just five minutes of total silence with no outside interference, you'll experience something special. Try the following exercise. Go into the woods, the park, wherever there's a tree. Simply sit and look at the tree. Notice how each leaf is slightly different from the other hundred thousand. Focus in on just a single leaf, get close, and notice the structure, the colour, the texture of that single leaf. Think about how incomplete that tree would be without that single leaf. Now put your attention on yourself. Think about how incomplete the universe would be without you...... Have a peaceful weekend. Best wishes

Hi, I hope everyone's doing ok. I deleted an old email address that David originally contacted me on, and I was wondering if he is still posting via email rather than this community. He's been away awhile now from this app. Anyhow, as you go through the material here, you'll undoubtedly come across a ' Problem '. That being, if I'm doing the visualisations, I'm thinking from the end, I'm feeling the end result, then where is what I desire? It's taken me maybe 30 years to learn this. The answer is in the question. The reason I wasn't manifesting that which I had desired was because I didn't detach from the outcome. I didn't detach, because a part of me wanted it be: A) On my ego's terms B) Now! After a lot of thought, I realised I was asking myself the same question. Over and over again. Where is it? Why isn't it here yet? What I have found is, if you drop the constant questioning, you allow things to come to you in their own time, not yours. That takes patience. It WILL happen. Just give it a chance. You've done your bit in just asking. I'm sorry if those on this group that are lifetimes ahead of me have all just yawned and collectively said ' well duh '! Best wishes

Hi. Hope everyone's ok on the group. On the eve of my 55th birthday, I just wanted to share a memory of birthdays past. I was lucky to have grown up with all four of my grandparents alive. On my birthday, my friends, sister, and the rest of my family would all wish me Happy Birthday. My grandfather, on my dad's side however, would just shake my hand and say ' Congratulations '. Year after year, just ' Congratulations ' . One year, I asked him why he didn't say to me 'Happy Birthday'. He replied. ' Because not everyone makes it to this age '. Celebrate every day, not just birthdays. Best wishes

While most of the world were watching the events in the Middle East, I chose to follow the latest moon mission which concluded yesterday. I urge everyone to look up the stunning images of Earthrise. Our beautiful home,suspended in the dark void of space. Many different nations came together to make that mission possible. That's why space exploration is so important. It gives humanity a direction, and a focus on peace and unity. There is always hope, despite what many are witnessing on the news. Best wishes

I read David Cameron Gikandi’s book, A Happy Pocket Full of Money. At first, I ignored it. As I listened to it again and again, and after three times, I was hooked. Specifically, when he said that time is an illusion, life is an image of the mind expressed. I was stunned. Using my Vipasana techniques, I realized I am stuck in the same illusion. Today, I am here because I have deep fears of success, abundance and being stuck every day about being a failure. I have achieved many things, yet I feel like nothing. There were times I wanted to give up trying, but my being/source/soul is not giving up. I hope saying these things loud will finally free me from these chains. Thanks, David, for the wonderful book.
