USING DISAPPOINTMENT AS A USEFUL GUIDE

Crushing disappointment often leaves us paralysed and incapable of anything but dwelling in a sea of destructive negativity! Our disappointments are nothing more than an indication of an unaccomplished attachment to a desired outcome. Our hope resides in the attainment of that result and when it is not fulfilled, our spirit gets broken by the ensuing disappointment.

Consciousness, or awareness, is important in that we become highly sensitised as to what is happening. More importantly, our awareness makes us listen to our inner voice and to respond appropriately. Every feeling carries the opportunity to discern how best to respond to Life's promptings. Life guides us perfectly, if only we would allow ourselves to be still enough to receive that intuitive guidance.

When disappointment comes, our most positive response would be to seek "the open door" rather than trying to proceed where Life has blocked us. In the vacuum of meditation, we are often shown what is most appropriate. We need to "still" our own wilfulness in order to discern the next best step. Subjugating the ego for something more powerful than ourselves is not passive inaction, but rather the most intelligent way forward.

Disappointment signals the existence of a more appropriate passage. Only in the fullness of time, as we reflect on the past, can we become aware of the perfection of life. As we start to expect the best in every outcome, so we soon discover how small and limited our own thinking is. Limitation is breached by actively allowing ourselves to be shown the next best small step forward.

Disappointment often comes because we are expecting too much too soon. Living a journey of significant small steps is far more effective than trying to take gigantic progressive leaps, which when found to be an impossibility, leads to withdrawal and self-sabotage.

Celebrating our life's smallest victories creates the energy that brings even more success. Such behaviour causes us to focus on the positive rather than dwelling aimlessly on what we think is wrong. As we elevate our thoughts by thinking of the small seemingly insignificant successes and being in heartfelt gratitude for these events, so we automatically create the energetic environment to attract more success.

When things don't go our way, we need to stop and reflect that some better option might exist. Rather than resorting to pointless blame or a sense of defeat, we need to look at the good things that are always happening and to give them the full attention of our being. Good luck is the preserve of those who refuse to be dogged by a sense of failure or mishap. Good fortune comes to those who are grateful for what they already have, rather than moaning about what they sense they still lack.

May our awareness of personal disappointment become an early trigger to allow ourselves to open to something more special. Being available to the considerable bounty of Life takes us beyond our limited beings into the richness of the adventure which is life. Using disappointment wisely, leads us to be MORE!

REFUSING TO ACQUIESCE

HIV/Aids is a radical personal watershed!

All adversity is the vehicle by which life forces us to change. Unless we perpetually change, we stagnate and never grow. We generally feel victimised by our difficulties, whereas these are life's sacred opportunities to transcend ourselves to become so much MORE! (Visit: http://www.indigo-man.com Click "Indigo-Links" and then click "MORE or LESS") Choosing to be a victim of anything is to give our power away and to acquiesce.

When adversity strikes we most frequently feel powerless. We sometimes feel as though we have been punished or that our luck has run out. The typical reaction of those recently diagnosed with HIV is to go into deep denial. We hope that by ignoring the infection that it will go away. Problems don't disappear! Problems fester and gather a dangerous momentum unless confronted and addressed. Many of our stresses are self-induced, because we refuse to deal with those areas of our lives that are demanding our absolute attention.

To feel powerless is to be powerless! This is the arena where we give our power away and allow ourselves to be blown haphazardly by Life's prevailing winds, rather than using this energy to propel ourselves in accordance with our dreams. HIV often strips us of our power because we incorrectly feel that we have been given a death sentence. HIV is not about dying, but rather about living more appropriately. HIV is a messenger of considerable change. Whether those changes wrought by HIV are positive or negative, depends solely on us.

Most of us live with a deep concern as to the opinions of others. We actively seek the approval of our peers and as a result become clones of our society, rather than remaining with a deep respect for the special creation that we are. HIV entrenches our need to conform and to be socially acceptable; we feel desperately uncomfortable with the issues of shame and stigma caused by HIV. This is when we tend to hide and in the process, to give away our power.

Healing comes when we directly confront the issues and stand in our power. We are unable to be healed when we feel worthless and are focused only on all the negatives. We need to live consciously and to respond to life in the most meaningful way. HIV is a valuable wake-up call to considerable change and to introduce life changes that embody the important art of self-love and good personal governance. Opening our awareness demands that we actively manage our power and constructively plug all debilitating leaks.

We need to accept whatever has transpired and to take full responsibility for turning lemons into lemonade. HIV and other serious health challenges are a valuable avenue to become MORE by learning from the affliction and choosing to use it in the most effective way. We passively buy into the concept that HIV has to be bad or a life sentence. It is not! HIV is a chance to learn how to effectively manage our power and to become significantly MORE than we were prior to infection. The same applies to every other substantial life challenge.

It is hard to comprehend how much power we give to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, especially when it can only be seen with an electron microscope. Africa has been numbed by the impact of HIV/Aids. We allow it to wreak havoc personally and to destroy relationships. HIV then becomes the vehicle for social meltdown.

The time has come for us to individually take back our power and to deal with issues like HIV in the most constructive manner possible. Each of us has the power to elicit miracles. As we think so shall we become. HIV most frequently attacks those who feel disempowered by their circumstance. The obvious response is surely to behave powerfully by holding the most empowering thoughts most of the time.

Passive acquiescence is a sure way to encourage personal suffering. Suffering is always only an option and a very poor choice at that. Each an every one of us has the power to change the most demanding of circumstances by changing our attitude. We are the architects of our existence and need to respond to all of life in the most constructive way.

UNDERSTANDING CO-CREATION

Sow the seeds of your dream, daily, with unbridled enthusiasm.
Nurture that dream with an unquestioned belief that you deserve.
Keep listening to the song of your soul for guidance.
Never allow inevitable challenge to blunt the vision of your dream.
And watch with grateful awe as the Great Mystery delivers the harvest more perfectly than you could ever contemplate.

A NEW WEAPON

The HIV/Aids pandemic has been well documented for the past thirty years. In those early years, before the advent of anti-retroviral therapy, the Press was full of stories of the wholesale carnage of HIV. Then came the treatment breakthrough with anti-retrovirals which elicited an important change in earlier focus. HIV had now become a chronic manageable disease, rather than an uncontrollable killer!

More recently, the world shows signs of an extreme fatigue around the HIV issue. People are bored with reports of a burgeoning population of Aids orphans and of millions of new infections despite the huge campaign towards condomisation.

The credit crunch since late 2007 has also caused a reappraisal of HIV issues. Diminished cash flows have made donors look carefully at the effectiveness of their giving. Some programs face cutbacks as limited finance forces a potentially dangerous, yet necessary adjustment in tough economic circumstances.

At the World Aids Conference in Vienna earlier this year, Bill Gates spoke of the need to find "new weapons" in the fight against Aids. The effects of the credit crunch are causing a massive re-evaluation of how the problem is addressed.

We should be mindful that the current exhaustion around the Aids issue does not result in an increasing apathy or reduced determination to beat the scourge of Aids. Problems that are ignored tend to fester before making their presence felt in even more uncomfortable ways.

In July 2010, I underwent a two-week HIVEX treatment in Durban for an HIV infection that was diagnosed in 2005. Having survived full-blown Aids twice in my early journey with HIV, I have witnessed a strong rebound in my health, despite having voluntarily suspended all anti-retroviral medication nearly six months ago.

HIVEX underwent a significant Phase I and Phase II clinical trial at the Nelson R Mandela Medical School at the University of KwaZulu Natal. This is one of the top Aids research facilities in the world. The trial proved the efficacy of the treatment as well as its safety. The Radiation Commission has recommended approval of the HIVEX treatment by the South African Health Ministry.

HIVEX might well be one of the "new weapons" referred by Bill Gates at the Vienna Aids Conference. It is non-invasive, appropriate to malnourished patients, relatively cheap and does not require sophisticated personnel for its operation. HIVEX permanently disables the HI virus, allowing those treated to recover without the need for ongoing costly medical interventions.

With over 30% of pregnant women attending antenatal clinics currently testing HIV+ in South Africa, the need to keep up the pressure to bring effective treatment and to significantly reduce the increase of new infections remains paramount. My own recent experience with HIVEX suggests we might just be on the threshold of another important breakthrough in this serious health challenge.

SACRIFICE

Without the sacrifice of delayed gratification, meaningful creation is never possible.

Friday, November 19, 2010

FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR

Right in the middle of seeming impossibility lies choice and potential! Our minds which can become temporarily crippled by fear, shut down to possibility and we resolve to become victims of circumstance, rather than co-creators of the infinite, which is our birthright.

Human nature avoids challenge because it takes us away from the comfortable and the familiar and forces us to expand against our own wishes. We associate challenge with misfortune rather than blessing it as sacred opportunity to become MORE! We dig deep ruts by travelling the same worn paths ad nauseam, lulled into complacency by the ease of the groove. Then comes the tempest of change, most often in the guise of loss, to transport us away from our comfort into a space where we are forced to grow.

Meaningful growth is rarely sought, but is most frequently foist upon us. It comes unexpectedly, although the signals for change are always present. This transformative process is clever preparation for the significant unknown. Only with the maturity of hindsight, can we finally accept the benefit of earlier challenge and begin to understand the gift of adversity.

To be stuck in our pain is a refusal to grow. It becomes a debilitating loop of despair where we hope to be rescued rather than taking responsibility for our own progression. To grow we need to surrender, but that acquiescence is not a passive giving up, but rather the letting go to become something MORE.

In the discomfort of change we need to discern flow, that space where things happen mysteriously, rather than choosing to be sidelined by a fear-induced inaction. It is that flow which carries us to where we are meant to be. It requires an unquestioning faith in the process of life, an innate belief that all that is happening is right.

To be MORE, we need to allow ourselves to venture beyond existing personal frontiers into unchartered territory. That is never easy but it is the fulfilment of the purpose of life, which is about growth. When challenge strikes, it needs to be the signal that we are evolving (maybe against our wishes). Change might be difficult, but it always comes to address aspects of ourselves that need attention. We might not be aware of those blindspots, but Life never misses a trick.

GERMINATING

We get cracked open by adversity in order to grow. That pain is the alchemy of personal transformation.

REFUSING TO GROW

THE DANGER OF DENIAL (WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO HIV/AIDS)

Problems don't just go away!

Problems come for a very special reason. They are an opportunity to learn and grow, to do things differently in the future. Adversity is our teacher and allows us the chance to become so much MORE.

I spent the first four months of my journey with HIV in a self-imposed exile. Having just been given the fateful diagnosis that was to radically transform my life in the most profound way, I chose to be silent. In that silence, I secretly hoped that the diagnosis was an error, or if such luck was not to bless me, that the problem would somehow go away. This was extreme denial in action!

Having worked with HIV+ people for many years as well as having seen how HIV manifests in families and the broader community, I have come to understand the risk that denialism brings to this health issue. The Aids denialism that was the key feature of the Mbeki Government in South Africa brought catastrophic consequences. By actively trying to push the problem away, it allowed HIV to proliferate exponentially with dire consequences for many of those infected and affected. This has severely fractured South African society and has left millions of Aids orphans.

As part of a programme to roll-out the HIVEX treatment (http://www.hivex-treatment.org), I meet people daily who finally present for treatment when their health has been so severely compromised by living in denial of their illness. Those in Stage 5 of HIV who have entered irreversable organ failure because of having ignored their health problem for too long, have no further option other than to face an approaching and unnecessarily premature death.

Once I moved beyond living in denial of my HIV, I realised that this challenge had maybe come as my greatest teacher ever. I have lived with an array of significant adversities and each and every one has been specially transformative. Adversity has blessed my life! HIV is not about dying, but it comes to teach us to live differently.

HIV promotes denialism because being generally sexually transmitted, it takes us right into the heart of shame and personal darkness. We would rather ignore many of these aspects of our lives, but HIV forces us to confront our sexuality, our dangerous unbridled egos and our prevalent lack of self-love.

It is our ego that tries valiantly to prevent us from being real. We then deny what we consider to be unacceptable to others because we find it difficult to be authentic, despite the fact that authenticity is the seat of absolute personal power. HIV comes to liberate us from the shackles of an ego that does not properly serve, to enable us to be MORE.

Most people keep repeating the same mistakes because they never fully acknowledge what they most desperately need to learn. These same folk then blame others or Life itself for their uninterrupted litany of misfortune. Life sends problems like HIV to encourage us to change. It is our stubborn refusal to learn and grow that traps us in such pain. This is the very essence of living in denial.

Working with the HIVEX project, I have come to notice how women more readily accept their HIV than men. Many men would rather go silently to their death than having to burst the constraints of of an ego that prevents their personal growth. It is sad to witness such folly. Likewise, male dominated cultures tend to promote denialism around HIV/Aids. This leads to a silent festering within those societies where HIV quietly develops a stranglehold which ultimately is almost impossible to deal with.

Problems go once we have learnt everything that is necessary to enable us to transcend the adversity. HIV/Aids is no different.

By denying the existence of HIV either personally, societally or nationally, we are creating a timebomb of horrific proportions. Best we face our challenges early, despite the discomfort they elicit, to enable strategies to move beyond the affliction.

The bigger the problem or issue, the bigger the opportunity to grow and become MORE. The choice remains ours!

UNDERSTANDING REAL SUCCESS

So much success is driven for the hollow approval of others! We try to achieve for our parents and constantly conform to the shallow demands of a material world. Our egos steadfastly push us to be what others expect of us. Always concerned what others might think or say about us, we dance to the tune of the world rather than listening to the rhythm of our own soul.

We measure success in monetary terms without ever contemplating how that money was made. Are wealthy drug lords successful or have they just learnt how to pray on the tragic flaws of others?

We come into the world with nothing and go out with nothing. Our only baggage into eternity is the soul which we most frequently ignore, because we are in hot pursuit of creating short-term comfort rather than significance.

The need for recognition creates an unhealthy spirit of competition where we keep looking over our own shoulders to see what others have, to benchmark our own success. This creates envy and jealousy and is a sure way to actively dissipate our valuable power. If we only lived authentically and focused our gratitude onto what we already have, we would discover real personal power.

Success should never be measured in any terms other than the ability to constantly become MORE. The quest to be MORE is steeped in a healthy understanding of self-love. It drives us to extend ourselves to grow beyond comfortable personal frontiers and reminds us to take charge of our powerful minds. When we shift our intention to being rather than having, we enter a substantial paradigm where we unearth the treasure of our selves and find happiness at the very core of our beings.

Success is about transcending ourselves and using every adversity as a building block to grow and become MORE. Living with such meaningful purpose substantially prepares the soul for onward flight. This is surely the essence of living out a vision for life where we discover that success is temporal and requires the dedicated and dynamic quest to always be MORE.

DRAWING THE LINE!

Nobody takes advantage unless our lack of appropriate boundaries allows it!

THE ATTITUDE THAT SPREADS HIV

On 1 December 2010, World Aids Day, Howard University in Washington DC will be hosting an International Conference on stigma, titled: "The attitude that spreads HIV". (Visit: http://www.whocanyoutell.com)

Stigma is borne of a fragile ego, the inauthentic and dishonest facade that showcases the lie! Stigma begins with us because of an attitude of self-rejection. Because we feel damaged or "untouchable", we automatically assume that others hold this false belief about us as well.

Every adversity, including HIV, comes as a profound teacher. Each challenge carries the opportunity to transcend difficulty to become MORE! The lessons that come disguised in each adversity are uniquely different, a matrix for considerable personal growth and healing if fully embraced. HIV cuts deep into the psyche as it reveals that aspect of self that we most frequently wish to be blanketed in darkness. But it is that darkness that forms an integral part of our whole and we need to fully own it in order to be complete.

Avoiding or alienating our darkness is not an act of self-love as it expressly suggests that part of us is wrong and should be hidden. We are divinely created and every part of us is important, albeit that we only choose to show those parts that our egos feel will tolerate the approval of others. HIV is inextricably linked to sexuality which always carries a taboo. Our sexuality is a significant part of our being and by ignoring it, we are making ourselves to be incomplete.

Most recently I have been working with communities who exist at the very epicentre of the HIV/Aids pandemic globally, in KwaZulu Natal Province in South Africa. Prevalence is extremely high and health workers speak of the impossible task of dealing with a problem of such a magnitude. Whilst a proportion of those infected with HIV are exposed to the Government roll-out of anti-retroviral medication, budgetary constraints mean that not everyone has access to such life saving medication.

In July, I underwent a HIVEX treatment and have witnessed a radical rebound in my health , despite having come off all medication voluntarily some 19 weeks ago. In trying to encourage others to come for treatment, I soon face the stonewall of stigma, as people deny their own infection or refuse to be treated in a room filled with other HIV+ patients for fear of identification.

I have watched the so-called "Lazarus effect" as those brave enough to step forward for treatment are literally given a second chance at life. Within days of being on treatment their lives transform in the most meaningful and special way. These people develop a bond with their treatment buddies much like those who experience a significant rite of passage with others. But stigma is holding back a considerable population who remain gripped in the unspoken fear of being known to have the virus. In a society where HIV is so prevalent, it is hard to believe that such stigma exists. When will the desire to fix this epidemic supersede the terror that keeps holding it underground?

Many people live secretly with their HIV infection until uncontrollable health problems force the issue into the open. The tragedy here is the overwhelming struggle to reverse such extreme complications, especially in a patient whose immune system is so radically compromised. Many of those living with HIV do not disclose to partners, making the risk of infecting loved ones a real possibility. Secrecy amplifies the potential for transmission, creating deep fractures in relationships when infection surfaces. The negative implications for society generally are legion!

Healing can only happen when we confront issues directly. When we stop thinking like victims and rather choose to learn from our afflictions, the healing process takes a quantum leap where healing happens on both the physical, mental and spiritual levels. This is where we truly experience the potential to be MORE despite earlier challenges. This is the sort of potential transformation that lies behind all our major problems, including HIV/Aids. HIV begs that we abandon ego to discover the real power that comes with being truly authentic.

HIVEX treatment takes place over twelve days with each treatment lasting two and a half hours. During the thirty hours of treatment, considerable opportunity exists to break down the vice grip of stigma, to allow for a healing beyond the paradigm of conventional thinking. In time, as people witness the radical results of such treatment, HIVEX may well become a catalyst to dismantle stigma as people wake up to the possibility of a second chance.

It is hard to alter entrenched beliefs, but we are living in an era where the inappropriate "old' is fast being overtaken by new values and a reappraisal of what now needs to happen. Once sufficient people become aware of HIVEX, it may well generate its own tipping-point as a valid option to dealing with stigma and the virus itself.

UNDERSTANDING STIGMA

Stigma is not so much what we allow others to do to us as to what we are unconsciously and sometimes consciously doing to ourselves! Stigma speaks of deliberate separation because of something that is generally considered unsavoury and is therefore avoided.

Stigma is frequently shrouded in ignorance and mis-perception drives the intensity of the separation. All too often, people cling to the beliefs of earlier generations without ever adequately questioning the validity of such thinking. We assume that because a belief was handed down and has become culturally accepted, that it should automatically be good.

The process of civilisation and evolution surely demands that we regularly interrogate entrenched habitual thinking, to ascertain whether it remains valid. Inappropriate beliefs keep us stuck in the past; which in turn brings considerable limitation to individuals and society in general. Stigma is riddled with thinking that is outmoded and irrelevant.

By their actions, Princess Diana and Mother Teresa, achieved a considerable amount in breaking down the former "leprosy-style" status of HIV/Aids by physically engaging with those who were HIV+. As the world watched these noble women comforting those suffering with Aids, they allowed people the opportunity to abandon inaccurate beliefs, by demonstrating that simple touch could not generally cause a harmful HIV infection.

Living in secrecy frequently creates the seedbed for our own unhappiness. Secrets are veiled in a sense of personal shame. Feeling shamed is deeply disempowering and is effectively resolved by perpetually exposing our shame, by talking out the shame to those we can trust. The more we discuss our shame, the less power it has over us, allowing us to take back our power.

Stigmatisation most frequently happens to those who feel disempowered by circumstance. To be disempowered we need to feel damaged or worthless. HIV has become a chronic managable disease which if managed properly, does not need to significantly impair the quality of life going forward. Most frequently, those living with HIV feel damaged regardless of their actual ability to live quite normally. This sets up a dangerous process of self-alienation and separation, which is where stigmatisation begins.

By allowing ourselves to think like victims, we become victims. When we encourage ourselves to regularly dwell on empowering thoughts, we notice how life begins to glow despite seemingly impossible odds.

To think in the style of a victim encourages stigmatisation. When others perceive your inner strength, they automatically avoid stigmatisation because it serves no purpose. People are attracted to personal power which always emanates from considerable authenticity.

Stigma serves neither the perpetrator nor the victim because it can never be based on positive intent. Stigma is a destructive loop which slowly eats at the soul of society. Prejudice is often a mask for an unresolved insecurity, where we try to make others wrong to cover our own inadequacies.

Stigma always starts with us! If we feel less than positive about ourselves, we invite the mocking attention of others. To be MORE, we need to resurrect our crippled thinking and to build esteem by constantly engaging in acts of self-love. A healthy attitude of self-love creates an environment where stigma cannot exist. By healing our own thoughts about ourselves, we begin to heal the hidden fractures that run through society. This is the climate where stigma becomes irrelevant, where people choose to build each other as a means of building self.

WHEN HEALING COMES

(This article appears at: http://hivex.blogspot.com. It relates to my reflections having recently undergone the electro-magnetic HIVEX treatment for HIV)


The last welve days have been a time of considerable personal healing for everyone on our special HIVEX mission. We have all changed and it is immediately apparent.

I work with people both individually and in groups (teaching life skills and particularly the art of how to be MORE!). In doing what I do, I try to carefully observe faces, because that is where I see the important visible signs that reflect the inner landscape... those who are stuck in unspoken pain, unforgiveness or are trapped in seeming comfort zones that do not serve. Years of stress caused by living in fear and carrying limiting self-beliefs invariably leave the tell-tale signs... sunken lifeless eyes and a lack of personal "light". Other faces glow with the evidence of meaningful human transformation.

I have purposely lived openly with HIV and have refused to carry the burden of shame or the fear of stigma. There is nothing to be shamed about HIV! It is the illness created mostly by a lack of self-love that has gripped this planet. My healing during HIVEX has undoubtedly been physical, but it has also been an important time to heal other wounds.

My life has been dogged by other stresses, particularly those related to economic survival. Some consider the successful part of my life as being a very young investment manager of a multi-billion rand pension fund, or when I pioneered multi-manager investment in South Africa. Those were only symbols of material success! Deep reflection has made me see my success as being able to stand, again and again, in the face of considerable adversity. Life blessed me with many opportunities to transcend the limitations of being closed and narrow, through great personal sadness and extreme mental and physical challenge. Success should never be measured in material terms, but is surely a reflection of our ability to continue to be MORE, despite the odds.

Doing the HIVEX treatment gave us all ample time to share, to see life through new eyes and to process the past. Real healing can never take place only on one plane. It needs to be multi-dimensional: both physical, mental and emotional.

For a considerable while I have experienced a repeated frustration of feeling that my life was not happening fast enough. Coming out of a long deep valley has stretched on for what seemed like an eternity. But then I know that life happens perfectly and in due time. Fruit never ripens before it has been exposed to the elements to gain the necessary input to bring it into the fullness that allows for ripening.

The time undergoing HIVEX has felt like an important milestone. I sense a shift in energy that comes with real healing. In a strange way, I feel that my best laid plans were kept on hold until this important next step had been accomplished. As much as we rail against life, it knows best! Sometimes we just need to accept the process, no matter how drawn out, because it is always a preparation for the future.

My life has been inextricably linked to healing. I see my teaching as part of a healing process. In an uncanny way, HIVEX has appeared not only as an instrument of my own healing, but possibly as a vehicle to bring healing to so many afflicted by HIV/Aids. Once again, this healing needs to not only be a physical recovery, but an encouragement to use the restoration of health as a gift to get out and make a difference in the lives of others, to lead a more meaningful life, to avoid the habits that may have lead to HIV in the first place and to discover the absolutes of being MORE!

TO MOVE EVEN HIGHER

To transcend the mundane, the daily grind, we need to learn how to fly. Rather than choosing to fly, learn to soar like an eagle.

STAYING REAL

Life sometimes throws a curved ball where it feels hard to admit to the current reality.
That is where we need to remain grounded in the truth. Keep moving back to truth, because that where the light is, where darkness cannot brood.

TRANSCENDING HIV/AIDS

The fear based dogma of many religions has coerced us to believe that HIV/Aids is a God-given scourge, sent to purge humanity of a wickedness. Whilst that inane concept may readily be adopted by the "unthinking masses", the essence of God is unconditional love which is the very antithesis of revenge and punishment.

No one can profess to fully understand the mind of God, but considering that God is absolute intelligence, it is hard to imagine a God who endlessly creates perfection, who then seeks to destroy what has been wondrously made. HIV/Aids may not be a punishment as we are led to believe, but a masterfully skilled opportunity for Man to transcend himself and therefore to grow.

The vast majority of HIV infections come to people who are radically disempowered, who hold very low levels of self-love. HIV/Aids is the disease which mostly reflects a dire lack of self-love, which having been infected, comes to teach the doctrine of self-love. HIV/Aids has now become a chronic manageable disease, like diabetes, which can be effectively managed so long as the infected sufficiently practice the art of self-love in every possible arena of life.

Every illness comes as a profound teacher and the more serious the illness, the greater the potential learning. Humans naturally gravitate to thinking like victims because we readily seek the sympathy and attention of others. If we are ill, we most frequently choose to behave like victims to attract the attention of others, rather than trying to understand what it is we are meant to learn from our malaise.

Because of the shame associated with HIV, rather than seeking attention, many of the infected choose to go into self-imposed exile to avoid potential stigma, thus bringing extreme isolation and limitation to their lives. In some cultures, those diagnosed with HIV see their affliction as a death sentence and willingly choose premature death. Rather than trying to find the "gift" in their situation, they literally curl up to die. This is one of the great tragedies of human misunderstanding which is resulting in countless unnecessary human carnage, especially in the less educated parts of Africa.

I have lived openly with HIV (and Aids) for five years. My infection taught me how little I previously loved myself to have even considered engaging in dangerous unprotected sex. Having contracted the virus and seeing my health wither before me, largely induced by a period of extreme stress, I began to learn the art of self-love - which came as the sublime yet disguised gift from my HIV infection. HIV taught me to nurture and appreciate the gift of life in every conceivable way and to never take anything for granted.

Furthermore, I came to realise that rejection always begins with me and that nobody will reject me if I feel good about myself. Having HIV was no reason to feel less about myself; in fact it encouraged me to stop worrying whether others were talking about me, but to rather use that precious energy to hold the most empowering thoughts about myself most of the time.

Rather than just being HIV+, I chose to use the concept of "positivity" to transform myself into a channel of positive thought. Every thought is a stream of energy which attracts energies of a similar frequency. By holding empowering thoughts, we attract the very best to ourselves, despite HIV.

Earlier in this article, I stated that HIV tends to settle with people who are disempowered. HIV is a minute aspect of my total being and I have taken back my power, refusing to live like a victim to something I can easily co-exist with. Any illness or disability can rob us of our power or we can use it as a vehicle to become fully empowered!

Any life threatening disease creates its own platform of fears - fear of suffering and most importantly, the fear of death. Living with Aids is not easy, as life becomes a perpetual journey of dealing with one infection after another. Just as you appear to conquer one health challenge, so another emerges sapping your energy. Any opportunity to walk boldly through our fears, to defeat that which is most to be feared, fear itself, is a valuable chance to transcend the greatest obstacle in human thinking. Overcoming any fear is one of the greatest potential victories anyone can achieve. Instead of cowering from fear, we should use every chance to engage it and progressively come to conquer it.

Whilst in the deepest chasm of my walk with Aids, I was forced to understand the fragility of life and to face potential death. Death is something that no man can avoid and rather than being feared, it should be seen as the greatest healing that awaits all of us. Any understanding of the spiritual realm opens our minds to a vista beyond this lifetime which is glorious, rather than to a dread which should be given no foundation.

I was infected with the virus as a thinking, adult man. To blame others for life's great challenges is to waste the opportunity which they bring to grow and become MORE. Becoming responsible for one's own life is to take ownership for the foundation of our very being. An attitude of responsibility allows us to take charge, to become the architects of our own existence. Until we do that, we remain like direction-less pawns under the control of an unknown chess-player.

To be diagnosed with HIV was initially a considerable shock which took substantial processing. Having lived through a variety of permutations of this disease, I have come to believe that my HIV infection came for good reason. Here was an opportunity to grow beyond my wildest expectations, to become MORE. Medical science tells us that once infected, this is something that never goes away but that can be adequately managed. With a viral load that is now undetectable, I am still HIV+ but its impact has diminished to be an issue that no longer warrants my considerable attention.

Life sends challenges to force us to grow. Once the growth has been fully engaged, the potential exists for the "lesson" to go. I am grateful for all that HIV came to reveal to me and it has expanded my life considerably, rather than contracting it. Whether you have HIV or not, it has come to bring a huge evolutionary shift to all of mankind! What has HIV come to teach you? How can you be an instrument of positive change rather than opting to be a victim of circumstance for which you believe you are powerless?

Always choose to be MORE!

GROWING BEYOND ISOLATION

After being diagnosed with HIV we tend to isolate, feeling damaged and taking on the self-imposed role of a "leper". HIV/Aids has become the modern leprosy, because we who are infected have allowed ourselves to accept this unnecessary label. The shame of HIV drives us underground where we not only denigrate ourselves, but we lose the ability to truly serve ourselves or humanity because we are no longer fully present.

One of the greatest fears of those living with HIV is the possibility of being alone for the rest of existence. We incorrectly assume that nobody would want to come near us, let alone kiss us or engage in any significant physical intimacy. HIV imposes new responsibilities regarding protecting others from infection as well as protecting ourselves from dangerous re-infection. But HIV is not a call to celibacy or complete social withdrawal.

Before searching for any relationship, we need to first ensure that we have a healthy and dynamic relationship with ourselves. HIV/Aids is the disease of self-love! We most often contract the virus because of insufficient self-love. Once we have HIV, the fullness of our existence is determined by how we learn to love ourselves to promote the very best for ourselves. This might be by changing poor eating habits, drinking enough water, regular quality sleep, taking appropriate exercise and avoiding harmful stress.

Self-love is not about narcissism or selfishness, it is a basic respect for the gift of life and honouring this gift in the most profound way. Self-love is never rooted in ego, but always strives to be MORE. (Please visit: http://www.indigo-man.com. Click on Indigo-Links and then click on "MORE or LESS")

The initial shock of discovering an HIV infection drives us away from others. But we need to use this solitary time effectively, as it is a perfect opportunity to rebuild meaningful relationship with ourselves. Many of us never learn the art of being in relationship with ourselves, often condemning ourselves as failures, as being unattractive or otherwise unacceptable. We are all unique and therefore immensely special and deserving of love, especially from ourselves to begin with.

HIV and Aids taught me the essence of relationship to myself and this was borne in a period of intense personal isolation. Rejection begins with self-rejection and HIV takes us right into the vortex of potential self-rejection. As we grow in self-acceptance, despite HIV, so the world starts to open its loving arms to us.

We need to put HIV in context. If we have contracted HIV, it remains only a small part of who we are. By giving our personal power away to HIV, we energise it in a way that becomes self-defeating. If we respect the virus by doing what is required to live fully despite having been infected, we soon realise that life is so much more than just having HIV.

It all begins with us! To choose to be a victim of anything is extremely limiting and deprives us of considerable potential. HIV/Aids is merely a landmark, a call to significant change. Let that change begin by discovering who you really are, by showing yourself the love and respect you deserve and by always choosing to be MORE!
