MOBILISING THE IMMOBILISED! WORLD AIDS DAY 2009

The crazy, yet alarmingly real notion of feeling like a leper keeps millions of people living silently with HIV/Aids highly immobilised. Secrets always rob us of personal power and make us to be significantly LESS than what we really are. The fear of being identified as either one who is infected or affected by HIV/Aids creates desperate personal limitation as well as making the environment rife for the further considerable spread of the virus.

Since the cataclysmic days of the early 1980's when HIV/Aids first became a prevalent killer, medical science has advanced to the point where HIV/Aids is now a chronic manageable disease like diabetes. With proper medication, nutrition and armed with a "positive" attitude, anyone infected by the Human Immunodeficiency virus can live a perfectly normal life that need not be blighted by any associated fear. HIV/Aids has really come to change human consciousness and behaviour in positive ways and the sooner we grasp the important lessons and move forward with a positive spirit, the better!

Today is World Aids Day! (every day should be spent finding a solution to this human menace)

We are reminded again of the presence of HIV/Aids in the world. May our future response always be pro-active rather than passive and geared to changing the face of the pandemic because of our individual and collective reaction. Those infected can no longer afford the liberty of self-pity nor their fear based inability to own all of who and what they are. HIV/Aids is still being given too much power by remaining an unnecessary mental prison for so many who have the virus. This stale inertia does not serve in any fashion and the stress it creates powerfully enables the further deterioration of vital immunity.

Everyone is affected by HIV/Aids whether you choose to to believe it or not! The impact of this virus on humanity is considerable and has been devastatingly destructive. But it is surely time to change the face of this personal and social disaster by taking action to rebuild and to co-create a better future out of all that remains. Every adversity has the hidden potential to expand us beyond comprehension; our attitude is all that needs to be re-engineered to make the profound difference. This World Aids Day needs to become a significant turning point where we choose to become MORE rather than LESS because of HIV/Aids.

We all gain a sense of meaningful life purpose by helping others. Many feel stripped of the desire to live and often hope for early death because of having been infected by HIV/Aids. They feel desperately hopeless and their deep inherent negativity acts as a huge drag on society in general. These destructive attitudes need to be changed because there is no need for shame or loathing when modern medicine provides such easy relief from potential suffering. We all need to mobilise our minds by instilling a driving purpose and HIV/Aids certainly gives us considerable scope and opportunity for such life enhancing purpose.

The world has millions of Aids orphans because of the effects of this pandemic. These young lives need to be nurtured and properly directed in a way that empowers rather than leaving them as victims of cruel circumstance. Here lies massive opportunity for those who have the virus to actively work to positively change the lives of these orphans by contributing time, money, expertise or a combination of these three. By doing so you are giving back to life in an act of gratitude for your life which is healing in itself and are creating a valuable life purpose which may hitherto not have existed.

As one living well with HIV (having nearly died of Aids two years ago), I have a vision to change the face of this scourge by mobilising the mass of people infected or affected by HIV/Aids to positively change the young lives of those left abandoned by their parent's Aids related deaths. We can no longer just watch the daily toll, but need to be part of a meaningful, well-planned solution that would positively enable the lives of all concerned.

Today I invite YOU to offer some of your time, money or talents to make a difference. Action rather than passive and often selfish inaction is what is now required. Here is a chance to turn your adversities to positive account by making a contribution. Let's change the dire future of those who have been orphaned by HIV/Aids and make sure that they enter adult life as positive contributors to society as well. Every negative has the potential to become a powerful positive with changed attitude and active commitment.

Please mail me today at indigo-man@indigo-man.com as you mobilise your first step to change the face of this pandemic. Since World Aids Day 2008, how have you made a difference rather than being part of an ongoing problem?

Pledge your time, talents and money and let's all make a huge difference! Let's all choose to be MORE!

WHEN IS COMPASSION NO LONGER COMPASSIONATE?

LAW VS GRACE

The rigidity of any fundamentalist religion most regularly steers its followers away from the essence of God!

God is more about grace than law and is the very embodiment of unconditional love.

FOCUS ON FOCUS

Without focus, we are unable to muster the requisite energy to discover or manifest our dreams, let alone find our life purpose.

Addictions, being in an abusive relationship, a lack of personal discipline and people-pleasing habits all dissipate life enhancing focus.

Find focus by focusing on focus! Choose to be MORE!

THE GRACE OF SELF-LOVE

MOVING OUT OF STRESS

We can't force any meaningful outcome!
Life is about flow and discovering where we are actually meant to be.
Flow is stress-free.

BUILDING ESTEEM

A lack of purpose and slothfulness erode self-esteem.

Esteem cannot just be acquired. It is built incrementally by taking small steps every day towards being MORE!

THE QUEST FOR PEACE

11:11:11 Armistice Day

How can we collectively hope for peace when individually we still thirst for violent entertainment?

Be "peaceful"!

OVERFLOWING

Adequate self-love transforms the mind with positive beliefs about life!

Rather than seeing the cup half-empty, you start to notice the regular little miracles and live in deep gratitude for ALL that is happening.

This positive spirit creates the necessary energy for a flow of good news going forward.

ADDICTION AND CONSCIOUSNESS

Addiction actively depletes and dissipates consciousness. We all have at least one addiction.
To identify that aspect of self that blunts awareness and limits our ability to grow is to start being MORE. Consciously avoiding addictive behaviour enables being MORE.

That is self-love made real!

EXPRESSION OF SELF

The quest for success is generally driven by what we perceive the world expects from us. In short, our paradigm for success vests with others rather than being part of who we are.

How can we ever be happy when we are motivated by the opinions of others, rather than by a sense of self-worth? Such thinking is a slavery or bondage rather than an expression of self.
