We know that we create the why we are surviving from our own perspective. But in the broader scheme do we really know.
The mystery of how we came to exist and why we are here has always been a sought after goal. What is for certain Man progresses to the degree he applies science to the universe of self, others, the physical universe and all of life. Man has evolved to be a “cognitive-being,> “The ability to become aware of being aware of knowing how to know answers as a basis of the science of one’s own being and at a cell level”<.
The higher mind of Man has given him the opportunity to reach into the unknown subjective reality of his own existence. The science within has been suppressed from without and Man’s pursuit of knowledge has been thwarted with the ever increasing sinister ideology that Man has no need or potential to study his own mind or spiritual destiny.
The materialistic concept of man however has been adopted as reality and truth. The psychology of the day is that man has only an animal consciousness that resides in the brain and that is the limit of his ability to study or apply himself through his intelligence of the pursuit of knowledge of himself.
With this narrow view of Man he no longer can reach a higher level of survival spiritually with the assistance of the cell.
The evolution of the spiritual essence of life requires a person’s participation to move through each experience as it presents itself to progress to the next level of existence that brings him a step forward and upward toward the ultimate Goal of Life. Failure to will prevent a person from achieving necessary knowledge for a person’s benefit in their quest for the answers they are pursuing and to have an increase in survival potential.
Suicide is the act of ending ones progress towards the ultimate goal. One must view the immortality of oneself and living as an opportunity to achieve freedom through the life one is living. Freedom from unawareness of the spirit and Freedom from not knowing that one can know in this life time no matter the conditions we find ourselves in. As long as we can live to be aware and become more aware of who we and others are as a spirit we should seek to survive.
The Middle class of existence has become the standard by which this society ascends to. A middle class society is catered to while others are neglected spiritually ,emotionally ,materially and in many other ways. The political will mainly in nature addresses the issues around Middle class economic resources and toward the center of keeping a government functioning and essentially this group class to manage the status quo.
We do not get movement away from their primary agenda. If we are truly to look at why the populations of the earth are subject to being wasted we only need to see the failure to invest in the creation of life and its longevity. The resources of earth including people are used from a capitalistic view not from a spiritual context where each being should have a right to life and prosperity that brings.
We have isolated Man into classes that become our value system of how we should live together and how long.
We need to fully look at the reasons why man is driven into apathy and want to end his life and it’s personal. Everyone has a different story and individual needs to be meant, but the time and efforts are not being put into them to determine what is needed by those that find themselves in a desperate situation. Grouped in classes of illnesses and labelled like sheep they are provided a means to die not survive.
Those that are vulnerable in a society cannot continue to be victimised by an uncaring population indoctrinated into believing all that matters is material gain. The resources of earth can support new life and supply what is needed for those passing through if those resources were not exploited and reserved for a select class of people.
We need new science to evolve and better strategies to managed human life for the highest quality of living available for every human being on earth.
A person from the time life begins to grow and to the end our lives has a purpose. That needs to be the focus. When we look at the desperation on the faces of those suffering in their last days living with no purpose, it is not because it does not exist. It’s because it’s not just material in nature. We hear of the many years of neglect that they have gone through left to lay or sit wasting away because it is not economically feasible to invest in their wellbeing. We must realize that that is our own future if we don’t challenge this inhumanity of our humanity.
The reason one wants to die should not be because they are isolated alone without love from family friends and in general rejected for being who they are as they are. Millions of children are aborted. Millions more are subject to drug addicting medications and die on street drugs. Children as young as babies are prescribed psychiatric drugs and left on them only to lose their potential to grow naturally and are subject to abuse as they hit the streets as addicts.
All of these youth and the growing populations of the elderly will prematurely become sick with incurable deceases unable to recover because of a failure to intervene before it is too late. The answer, taking the life of another before a natural death can occur. The practice of Eugenics is also another growing activity within the medical profession.
Eugenics is the concept to remove those from society no longer useful or capable to produce quality life. It has been studied and practiced in the US and other countries. Today we have a broad sweep of the human race to suppress populations of all classes considered to be a detriment to others or simply because sharing capital is considered a waist and takes from those who greed for more for themselves and less for others.
Assisted Suicide is awarding death the life of another. That life ceases to be over time and finally neglected and consumed by pain and without purpose a being retreats into an apathy of no return. But it does not have to be this way and we should do all we can to see that is not. We need to support all efforts by groups who can assist others to live and die with dignity and respect naturally. Pain can be managed with medicine. Medicine however cannot provide love, family, purpose, friendship, support and some might say salvation. We need to do better as a society on these issues and help give life to those that can no longer live up to a materialistic standard.

When it comes to reality, after all the excitement of last night, most of us wake up really late the next morning with a huge hangover, long and tired faces. This was my New Year experience every year; it was just part of the social scene, that’s what everyone did. I used to be a part of these late night parties, even though deep within I didn’t look forward to them. I dragged myself to them because I didn’t want to be a social outcast. I just felt the excitement was over-hyped. Eleven years back, my life transformed when I met Master Sunita. I evolved into someone whose life everyday was about anticipating and relishing the excitement of a New Year, New Beginnings and New Opportunities every single moment. I quickly realized the newness within me blossoming each moment. Every moment, I’d feel like fire crackers exploding in my heart creating color and just, pure joy. The unstoppable excitement that I realized from my pure inner self is inexplicable in words.
Before I met Master Sunita, I had no concept of living within my true presence and in the present moment. I would dwell way too much on the negative experiences in my past, be emotional more than was healthy, be anxious about the future and constantly judged myself and others, without ever enjoying what the present had to offer me. However, through Sookshma, I have realized that there is newness in every single moment. We have an opportunity to create anything we want in the present moment. In fact, the Past and the Future are delusions. The Past is dead and the Future is unpredictable. Many of us spend a lot of time ruminating on the past. This rumination creates a lot of stress and destructive patterns in our subconscious mind, eventually leading to mental and emotional blockages that finally take a toll on our health. Some of us then start suffering from stress and anxiety, and others who have suffered more start developing complex health issues. Dwelling on past events is like digging a grave yard and trying to smell it. Of course it will stink. It can irritate and frustrate us. It spoils your mood, and sets the tone for the rest of the day, pure misery and no joy. The best we can do is learn from the past and move on. Not moving onto the future directly, but pausing in the present to experience our true self. The Future is imaginary. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Yes we can predict based on some probability, but life comes with surprises that we do not expect most of the time. We plan for an outcome and something else happens. I am sure each one of you will agree that you were set to do something in life, but some events/situations/circumstances changed/affected our path and we end up in completely unexpected/different situations. So the Future is not easy to predict. Focusing only on the future without enjoying the present in its fullness is living blindly and it can suck us into a whirlpool of anxiety and take us on an imaginary roller coaster ride. The beauty of living in the present is that you will be alert, aware and awake during surprises, and sudden life changing events and situations. It helps us to be prepared for any challenges from the future. The Present is the only reality. When living in the present moment with full awareness, Life becomes a celebration.
The concept of Time is a human creation. There is no such thing as time for other species of animals. A cat or an ant does not know what time is. Yes, there is the Sunrise and Sunset, and changes in nature that we all align with. However, the whole construct of time is simply a creation of the human mind. The only time there really is, is the Present Moment. In that present moment is the potential to create the new, destroy the old and channel our energy continuously into the present. There is only the Present and when we align with this everlasting present, life becomes a continuous flow of present moments. Master Sunita calls this alertness of the Present: Continuous Constant Integrated Positive Awareness (CCIPA). We then do not get stuck, we move on. A lot of people have a hard time living in the present and it takes time to rewire our consciousness to become aware of the Present.
When I came to Sunita and her Sookshma program, it took me to the very crux of the Present moment which is the Pure Self beyond the movement of mind. The Mind is like a monkey jumping to the past or the future. The Mind is just movement of information between the Past and Future, but the Pure Self is an everlasting continuum. The Nature of the Body is birth, decay and death, but the pure self is the vibration of energy behind the body. This vibration is neither created nor destroyed. It is always there. It is there in all of us. Ancient Wisdom says that when we are able to tune into this pure energy field of timeless and ageless being, then life becomes bliss. We can use that infinite nuclear energy to accomplish our goals and dreams. Each present moment resolves itself to transform our infinite vision into a reality that benefits us and inspires humanity. Our life blossoms with Personal Wellness at its core, the experience of Fullness of energy and bliss flooding each cell of our consciousness and the Oneness of humanity becomes practical. The Sookshma program of Master Sunita enforces us to care for the Self, to show love and compassion for the Self. It teaches us to take care of our precious resources: our mind and body and to use them as tools by the Pure Self, that will bring abundance to our life in all aspects and at all times, because there is only the Present. In the Now, there is no place for the past and the future. In the Now exists Pure Intentions that when given attention to blossom into the reality of the Present.
People make resolutions for the New Year but most of them are forgotten or given up on the very next week, month or quarter. Many of us are back to our old patterns, conditioned minds and attitudes. These patterns are deeply rooted in the subconscious mind and are not easy to let go and move forward. Even though some are able to move forward and make it to their resolutions, most end up with physical/emotional illness, or stay in their unhealthy lifestyle habits because they neglect caring for the most precious resources they have: their body and mind. They live in the delusion of name, fame, social status, ego identities, power, money, unhealthy comparisons, working towards unhealthy goals, constantly trying to meet unhealthy expectations, and destroy their self and the environment through their selfish needs and deeds. The lack of understanding of the true nature of existence, the nature of the body and mind, the nature of time results in pain and suffering. However, when we realize our pure self and work from the state of Oneness within, it brings honesty and integrity to make the intention of our resolutions come true. It allows us to accept the present without any resistance, and allows us to work with the Present towards a positive vision with patience and perseverance.
My personal resolution is to bring Wellness and Oneness to humanity through our work at the Non-profit Peace Tree Innovations Society (www.peacetree.ca). In fact the resolution is not separate from me anymore. Every aspect of my being is resonating with this resolution. I have become the resolution with one-pointedness. Sookshma of Master Sunita reveals the power of concentration and positive awareness from moment to moment. When we vibrate at that level of pure energy, then situations and circumstances will resonate with us to make our desires come true. Our resolution is to touch the hearts and souls of millions of people. Our vision is to help humanity heal from self-destructive patterns, emotions and turmoil. Our mission is to assist all in realizing their true inner potential, create a shining spark of newness within and to spread this light to all selflessly. All it takes is to Breathe and Smile for the Self in this Present Moment and everything else will fall in place in the Newness of Now to create Health, Wealth and Bliss. Wishing you all the very best and newness in every moment.

Hopefully when you first created your personal or business brand you started with a foundation of values. But if you did not, this is a great place to start. What do you believe in? What is important to you? Think of 3-5 personal qualities or values that really resonate with you and define you are deep in your core. Values like Integrity, Courage and Diversity to name just a few.
New headshots are a great way to refresh your brand and well worth the investment of time and money. Do not use a selfie or picture of you taken at a party (yes I’ve seen that). Go to a professional photographer. Take a couple of different outfit with you, one for a casual look and one for a formal business look. Being a professional speaker I often have photographers send me or tag in photos of me speaking, so a photo from an event you attended or media photo is a great source of potential headshots too.
Six months ago I started “renovating” my website and then I realized I needed to change it completely. So for all that time we’ve been working on a completely new website behind the scenes that should launch by Spring 2018. Your website is absolutely one of the most important aspects of your personal or business brand. You need it to be up to date and engaging. You could change your cover image and title or use a different template. Another good area of improvement is to remember to add any recent awards and accomplishments. People often forget that and it is a pity because it is great for branding and business development.
Rebuilding your website also gives you an opportunity to pivot your business slightly in terms of the products and services you offer or refocus your area of expertise if it’s your personal website.
So I added this one in the list because it is such a key part of anyone’s brand, particularly your business brand. You could do a complete redesign through an online service like 99designs.ca or fiverr.com. Both are excellent resources so check them out. Or just change one element like the colour or the font. Either way it is a good way to take your brand to the next level or reflect a change in direction.
Hands down the most important social media platform for any professional or business is LinkedIn. Every individual and business should have a presence on LinkedIn. I hope to focus on it more in a future article, but for now you need to have a profile. It’s completely free and the only investment is your time. If you already have a personal profile or a company page then take this opportunity to update it. Make sure it contains the most current information and of course a good headshot or company logo.
Having a clear and persuasive personal or business brand is what helps you stand out and gives you the edge in a very competitive marketplace.
A strong brand will also help you attract more opportunities if you’re looking for a job or leads for your small business, so it’s a good place to focus your time and energy. I want to leave with this final thought; you define who you are and how people see you. So think big; help people see how amazing you and your business really is. Remember what Walt Disney said “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Make 2018 that year for you.

1) Never Surrender
There are two kinds of people: those who believe they can make things happen and those who believe things happen to them. The first group are convinced that the outcome of their lives/careers is in their own hands. The second group take a Forrest Gump approach—they wait for the bus to take them somewhere. The empowered feel anxiety when hard times strike, but they believe they have control over the outcomes, so their anxiety fuels passion not pity, drive not despair, tenacity not trepidation. They double down.
2) Path To Happiness
Most people believe they must first have something (money), before they can do what they want (start a business; travel), which will allow them to be something (happy; motivated). Reverse this order. First BE whatever it is you want. Then start DOING things. Then you will get what you want to HAVE.
3) Enough
Always think, I HAVE ENOUGH. The very thought of believing that you do, allows you to take more risks/chances that ultimately lead to success. When you worry about what you DON’T HAVE, it’s immobilizing. If you always NEED you will always be WANTING-regardless of how much you have or accomplish.
4) Don’t Compare
The world owes you nothing. Life isn’t fair. But, the world already gives us everything we need. You have every advantage in the world to succeed. All you have to do is show up.
5) Competition?
Instead of worry about competitors and focus on what they were doing, I created a niche in my business and monopolized the space in which I created value. My competitors out priced each other charging less and less and it was then their race to the bottom – of which I wanted nothing to do with. I charged more for similar services, but serviced an area where my competitors didn’t want to go – to the little guys. I saw those little guys as opportunity. Plus, my competitors wouldn’t be calling them up for business. I wasn’t going to waste my time trying to keep up to their lead. I was going to be the leader.
6) Never Forget
Humility, gratitude and recognition of your blessings keeps success in perspective. It’s easy when you reach a level of success to feel superior to others and that you got there on your own. You are not solely responsible for your success.
7) If You Need To Ask, Don’t Do It
A number of people have told me they want to start a business. They ask me if I think they should do it. I say no. Why? Because if someone is going to become a success, they could care less what I say. People want to chase what worked for someone else and they forget what THEY want to do. I can’t give anyone permission to live their dreams. You can do whatever you decide to do. Make the decision and forget what everyone else thinks or says about it.
8) Do It Now!
The perfect client, opportunity, or circumstance will never happen. Instead of wishing things were different, cultivate what’s right in front of you. Rather than waiting for the next opportunity, the one in your hands is the opportunity. The grass is greener where you water it. The problem isn’t your circumstance-it’s you.

4) Commercial Flights to Antarctica Will Officially Start Flying for the First Time Ever
Prior to 2018, people could only travel to Antarctica via special arrangements such as charter flights or ships. Now, tourists will be able to fly to Antarctica from Argentina on a regular basis. The flights will depart at least once a week, and will land on Seymour Island. Commercial flights previously avoided flying over Antarctica because Federal Aviation Administration rules stated that aircrafts must always be within an hour of an airport to land in case of an emergency. Flying over Antarctica was considered too risky and dangerous.
5) A New Jurassic World Movie is Being Released
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the next film in the sequel trilogy and part of the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park series, will hit theatres in June. Based on the success of the past movies, we know this one will also be amazing.
6) Eminem May Go On Tour
With the recent release of Eminem’s newest album (Revival), there is a high likelihood that the famous rapper will go on tour in 2018. His last tour took place in 2014, and who knows when he will release another album (if ever) again!
7) Bitcoin Boom?
A few years ago, a bitcoin was practically worthless. The digital currency made headlines in 2017 when it was determined that one unit of the digital coin was reaching close to the $20,000 mark. Start investing! With technological innovation on the rise, the value of Bitcoins will probably only increase.
Statistically many will fail at this attempt to bring forth the change they want in their lives. So, why does this tend to happen repeatedly year after year?
The answers are very simple, if you look at the facts. Many of the ones that tend to fail at keeping their resolutions do so because they aren’t using the right tools to bring forth this change into their lives.
To change your habits is to change your character. That is something very empowering to do and once you can change your character, you can bring forth an abundance of positive changes into your lives.
Psychology teaches us that the habits of the mind can be changed by the development of pathways in our brains which are created by daily habits, emotions, our interactions with others and so forth. Our brains have the power to bring forth drastic changes in our lives through synaptic plasticity.
Synaptic plasticity controls how effectively the neurons in our brains communicate with each other. Long term bad habits cause stable changes in the brain at the molecular and cellular levels. Therefore, you really need to get down to the nitty gritty things in your life and start changing yourself on a microscopic level.
I would suggest that you create daily rituals for yourself to get you into a routine of good habits that will strengthen the ability of your mind to adapt and stick to changes.
Some rituals that you can start doing daily pertain to the little things in your life. Start your day by getting up on time and making your bed. Eat breakfast and enjoy your first meal of the day and plan your tasks for the day. This will help raise your self awareness.
Clean up your space constantly. When you declutter your space and clean up, the visual affect will influence your brain. Complete small tasks on time, be nicer to people, listen more than talking and really hear people out when listening, go on small walks, make time to meet friends and visit family.
Exercising really helps change the chemicals in your body. By increasing physical activity in your schedule, your body will release more endorphins, and balance dopamine and serotonin levels, which will in turn will boost your energy levels, change your mood, and prompt better sleep.
These rituals will bring a balance into your days and hence help your brain adapt to the changes you want to bring forth in your life.
Nothing great comes easy and fast. Everything worth having takes time to build, but you have to start somewhere and stick to the path you have taken. Just remember: it’s ok to fall down, as long as you keep getting back up.
