  • The High-Vibration Warrior: Why True Strength Isn't in Anger, but in Mastering Your Mind and Energy.

    The High-Vibration Warrior: Why True Strength Isn't in Anger, but in Mastering Your Mind and Energy.
    2025/11/02
    Many thousands of years ago, a young boy was born called Hercules. Even as a young child he was stronger and more muscular than his friends and brothers. Everyone was sure that he would have a bright future as a warrior of the kingdom. No doubt, he would one day be the general that commanded the whole army. Young Hercules and his friends would act out this eventuality as a game. He would pretend he was the commander and send his friends out to fight imaginary armies and giant lions. Often, they would pretend they were being defeated and then Hercules would come along and save the day.This was their game but it was simply forecasting the future. Like many of his friends, Hercules trained hard from a young age. They would run many miles together, swim for hours in the rough sea and fight with their wooden swords. They all grew stronger and fitter as time went on. One day, Hercules father came to get him. They were going into a battle and he wanted his son to witness it for the first time. Not to fight but to watch from afar and learn. It was important that he did not join the fight for as strong and fit as his son was, he was not ready for the battlefield. Hercules was shocked by what he saw. He was led to believe that everything was easy and that his enemies would fall and die underneath the blades of his father and his army. He thought that victory would be easy but what he saw was like a horror show. Limbs were hacked off, there were screams of pain and so much blood mingled with mud. The smell alone made him heave. This was not the glory that he dreamt of. No, this was darkness fighting darkness.This was fear fighting against hope and the slim chance of survival. This was anger and hatred. This was sadness and pain. A few of his uncles were slain on that day and he witnessed them and their gruesome deaths. For the young boy, this was a traumatic experience. But he stood fast, tears rolling down his cheeks as he watched the battle unfold. The horses crashing into men who were trying to defend. Hercules wanted to turn and run. He wanted to pretend that this was just a dream and he was going to wake up soon. But he did not wake up, this was the reality of when darkness rules the world. When men are guided by demons. When there is a complete absence of love and light. This was the reality of the world that he was born into. Standing there, he felt powerless. Powerless to help and fight, powerless to simply run away. It was in that moment that Hercules understood his real purpose in the world. It was not to fight and conquer. It was not to destroy and kill. No, it was to bring light to where there was darkness. It was to bring hope to where there was despair. Love instead of hate. That mission and purpose of his was far greater than simply fighting. Fighting he understood and was good at. He could easily kill many soldiers especially as he got older and stronger. But, his new purpose as he saw it, was a much bigger challenge.He would have to defy his father who was a warrior. He would have to go against the norm of fighting first and asking questions later. Now he knew why he was so big and strong. Because his words would carry weight. Men would listen to him. It may take a while for them to come round to his way of thinking. But he knew that if it were not for the male ego, there would be less fighting. If it were not men fighting ferociously to subconsciously seek validation from their father. Fighting and suffering because they didn’t feel good enough. Didn’t feel worthy. Felt that the best way they could prove themselves worthy to their family and friends and village was to be a great and fierce warrior. To prove to themselves that they were worthy. But this desire to satisfy these beliefs, did not come from a pure place. It came from a place of struggle and pain. It came from a place of darkness. Hercules did not suffer with these mortal, self-limiting beliefs. He understood, despite his young age, that he was here to teach others. To make them aware when they were chasing validation. To make them aware when they were choosing to suffer rather than embrace the unknown. And so began his journey on this day. It would take all his strength not to fight but to show empathy and understanding of his enemy. Even of his own people. It would be a tough battle because suffering was so ingrained in the people. But he also knew that he had his spirit guides to help him and show him the way. Tell him what to say. He would speak about high vibration, high frequency. He would talk about the power of the mind. The battle began there. Not on the battlefield but way before you even got up in the morning. When the mind was strong and the man was not a victim of his life. He would stand for something. He would fight to stay in a high vibration of love and light. Rather than lashing out at those around him because he was consumed by darkness and fear. Let go of the fear. Let go of the thoughts that you make up, that ...

  • Whispers from the Stars: Your Ancestors Are Talking—Are You Listening? The Journey to True Self-Reliance Begins in Silence.

    Whispers from the Stars: Your Ancestors Are Talking—Are You Listening? The Journey to True Self-Reliance Begins in Silence.
    2025/10/26
    There was a journey to be undertaken by all teenage boys and girls when they reached a certain age. The journey is one of self-discovery. One were they put into practice all the skills they have learnt. One where, the only way they will survive, is if they master their vibration and skills and intuition. Not all kids come through this test and make it to adulthood. This is not a test that is hard for the sake of being hard. No, it is hard for a reason. For being an adult comes with different responsibilities. Different things are expected from you. You can no longer feed off your family and play with your friends with reckless abandon. No, now is the time you start taking self-responsibility for the life you are about to create for yourself. When you find a partner who you will serve and will serve you. And the two of you will create your life together. A magical life. But first, you have to pass the test otherwise none of this matters. The test, in these times when our ancestors lived, will make us or break us. We have been learning for years now. How to hunt, to forage in the forest. To find warmth on a freezing night out on the mountains. To find water when there appears to be none. Above all, to be guided by our intuition and our spirit guides as to what to do.What path to take. The group of children are taken out into the wild, far from the village. They are only allowed a knife and a rope and the clothes they are wearing. They must survive for 3 days out in the wild. They will need to hunt and find water. They will need to create a shelter. They will also need to get back to the village faster than the others if they wish to choose their favorite partner before someone else will. This is a competition to not only survive but to be cunning and fast. The children are taken by horseback to the other side of the mountain range. They must find their way back from that point. They are dropped off at different points for they are not allowed to work together. This is an individual journey and test. To listen to their intuition, they must find the quiet in their mind. In they panic or struggle and suffer. They will not hear that voice of reason and knowledge from within their mind. Guiding them as to what to do next. Answering the questions with a definitive yes or no to whatever is asked. Should I go straight up this mountain, no. You will die from exposure on the top. There is snow and freezing temperatures. And so, you must go the long way round. You will find water in the stream. Hunt and kill a rabbit and use it’s skin as a water pouch, it’s meat as your food source. There are many questions to ask on such a journey. You have to learn to trust the voice and take the required action. It can be a challenge. Is the voice my intuition or is it simply my ego. Two very different outcomes are possible. One could even kill you. And so you head off, over the rocks and through the forest. Its already late in the day, you are already tired from the long horse ride. But you must remain focused. You must know that your guides are there for your to succeed and thrive on this adventure. You quieten your mind. You are still in the rawness of the natural world. You ground yourself back to earth. You remember your inner power and strength. You need to find wood and build a fire to keep yourself warm.The cold will stop you being able to think and make decisions. It will slowly kill you during the night. But, before long you have a fire roaring. You have found large branches to make yourself a shelter. Your next goal is to protect yourself form the wild animals. There are always mountain lion about and many other dangerous animals. They all hunt at night and they are all hungry and looking for an easy meal. Will you be that easy meal. It will not be a fun experience. Your senses are heightened with the danger about. You hear every wind rustle and every twig snapping. You hear the soft pad of paws on the earth. However, you will safe with your fire and with your guides looking over you. This is how everyone lived during these times. You look up and see the milky way, billions of stars, so far away. And yet you know and understand that many of those stars are your ancient ancestors. Guiding you on your way and feeding you knowledge. The rabbit you killed has filled up your belly. You protect your back with strong branches with inch long thorns. And at the front is your fire. You stack plenty of fire wood to put on during the night. It will be a long night, there is no doubt of that. But you are also confident for you are not alone. You survive the night and begin your journey. You set a steady but relentless pace. Making sure you are sipping you water from your rabbit pouch and hunting whenever the opportunity presents itself. And along with this, listening out for any warning voices in your head. Ones that warn you of dangers on your path ahead. Or animals stalking you as your jog past them. You kill a fox for your ...

  • Stop Suffering: Uncover the Harsh Truth from Our Ancestors About Why We Struggle and How to Stop!

    Stop Suffering: Uncover the Harsh Truth from Our Ancestors About Why We Struggle and How to Stop!
    2025/10/19
    In the time when ancient warriors roamed the earth. They sought new lands. Fertile for farming and rich in wild animals that they would be able to hunt and feed their families. Their own villages and towns had used up all their resources. They had cut down all the trees and hunted most of the animals. Food and wood were becoming more and more rare. Infighting had begun as the people fought for food and warmth on the cold nights. And so, the warriors were sent out far and wild into the wilderness to find new lands. A new place they could move to and settle in. The question was, what would they do differently this time. They had used up all their resources and begun to starve and struggle. If they moved to a new land and kept their same ways, they would end up in the same predicament. And so a new plan had to be devised. One where effort was involved. The people were not allowed to cut the trees down close to their village. They were not allowed to hunt the animals that were close by. They would have to go further afield to get what they needed. And this would require effort. But who was willing to do this when it was just so easy to cut down a tree right outside your house so that you could be warm for the night or cook their food. The chief was adamant that his people needed to learn the lesson. And so, if they were caught doing any of these things then they would be outcast. They would have plenty of wood when they cleared some land to plant their crops. But this would be controlled. They had to keep their land and village livable for future generations. However, the son’s chief had other ideas. He thought that because he was the son’s chief, he had special status. And so he would cut down trees close to the village and hunt animals that where nearby. He would boast to his friends that only he was allowed to do this because of who he was. When his father found out, he called his son to him. The chief was very disappointed and sad. He knew he would have to send his son away to fend for himself. He knew that this may mean death for his son. But he also knew that he had to set the standard for everyone. He had to set an example. And he had to show that they were all the same and they were all connected. What one person did, effected everyone one in the village. Everything had consequences. The biggest part was that his son lacked the awareness to see how his actions affected others. He didn’t have the awareness to see how he was acting. How his actions would create a rift between the leadership and the people. It was important to the chief to set an example of how people should be and act. His son was not a bad person. He was not evil. He was just unaware that actions had consequences. He was unaware of the impact of his laziness and his decisions would affect the moral of the whole village. And so the lesson had to be taught by his own father and he was banished for a year. He would have to fend for himself out in the wilderness. He would have to gain the awareness of living with others in harmony, rather than thinking he deserved special treatment.Everyone has a story and many people with a hard story believe they deserve special treatment. The reality is that we are all the same. Our actions effect the people closest to us. We have all had hardship and struggle at some point in our life. It doesn’t make us better than another. For most of the time, we don’t know someone else’s story. And so, for some of us, we just assume our story is harder than theirs. But most of the time, this is not the case. There is always someone worse off than you in the world. Right now, in this moment, someone is struggling more than you. Whatever you are going through. Awareness is understanding that if you happen to be suffering, then taking out your anger and frustration on others is not ok. Because the people you take out your anger and frustration on, are probably worse off than you. But they don’t show it. They are not complaining about it. They are focused on getting through each moment as best they can. Having the awareness to understand this can be very helpful if you are struggling in your life. That there are people in this world, significantly worse off than you but they are not complaining and they are getting on with their life. They are not having a tantrum or being a victim. They are not blaming everyone else around them. No, they are grateful for life itself. For if they are struggling in this moment, right now. It means they are alive. And if you are alive, then there is always hope. There is always hope of better things to come. A more joyful, happier and more fulfilling life is available to all of us. Take responsibility for the life you have created for yourself and set the intention for the kind of life you would love to have. Awareness and responsibility. Two crucial keys to creating a life you love. It starts with taking the time to stop and dream about what a life you would love looks ...
