“That which is infinite cannot be many, for manyness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must identify or define the infinity as unity” ✨

The Ra Contact | Book One | Session One | Question 4
-
Most channelings open with a request such as “But if any word or concept does not have that feeling of importance to you at this time, we would ask that you set it aside without a second thought. Use only those that do have meaning for you now. This allows us to speak with more freedom in our response to your question, since we know that you will utilise your own discrimination in hearing what we say.” This so they can preserve the free will of those who hear their message. They preach no dogma or profess to be superior to ourselves; they simply have travelled the road a little further than us and now offer their service to those who request it.

This is why I’m so passionate about my work and understanding why people are the way they are 🧠 even the UFC champion 🏆and one of the biggest comics in the world 🎤 still struggle with their childhood experiences.
•
Despite progress, we’re still a little behind in allowing our understanding of trauma and it’s impact to filter through to the institutions and professionals who need it most…
•
Education 🏫 I’m my experience as a 1:1 mentor, children with behavioural challenges are still prematurely labelled and dealt with almost universally in the same way; detentions, reports, isolation, suspensions, exclusions etc 🚫
•
Justice System ⚖️ A study in Wales showed half of all prisoners experienced 4 or more ACEs growing up 🔪 🥃💉💥 “prisoners that have suffered multiple ACEs are substantially more likely to have lifetime mental illness diagnosis, self-harm or suicide attempt, and to have current low mental wellbeing”. They are also more likely to be victims or perpetrators of violence
•
I’ve met many people who say “it’s a cop out, I went through sh*t and I’m alright”…. 🙄 and I’m not for a second suggesting we do away with discipline and consequence 🤨 However, all our experiences are ENTIRELY unique, even if they look similar on the surface. We all process things differently and what I can say, from direct experience, is when someone is met with compassion, patience, love and understanding rather than exclusion and judgment, we often get to see the real person behind the pain and defensive mechanisms developed as a child to “survive” ⛔️

You’re welcome 🖕 is what I’ve said to loads of people when they haven’t thanked me for holding a door 😂 but most of us don’t go in to this minor situation thinking “I can’t wait for my thank you here”, we just do it 😇 so the key is to let that still be the case 15 seconds later when random human we’ve never met and know nothing about had the audacity not to thank me 😧 and before anyone says ”well, people should have more manners”, that may be true but if they have or haven’t doesn’t have to affect your internal feng shui 🧘♀️ 😄 many religious texts, stoic philosophies and mental health professionals will tell you…. it’s not about the other person 😎
•
2023 Edit - This has been sat in my drafts for a while but I feel it’s more relevant now because so many of us look at the world and wish things were different 🙏 we may feel powerless to affect change because we’re not in positions of “influence” but THE most effective thing we CAN do is treat those we meet every day with patience, respect, compassion and love ❤️ if we only do this when we expect the same in return then we’ll never break the cycle 🔁 most people have it, they’re just afraid to give it 🤲

This is interesting… I don’t know his exact motives but I have seen reports of places like San Francisco and other parts of California falling apart, one of the reasons why Joe Rogan and many other “celebrities” have left California

Could also be some billionaire business tactics I don’t understand 🎣

First of all you know I don’t make any of what I share exclusive, some of this WILL be relevant to women but today I wanted to reach out to men because unfortunately men are less likely to seek support
•
I judge nobody for how they determine what’s best for themselves ❤️ I wanted to connect in particular with those who HAVE experienced trauma and feel you should suck it up and get on with it 💪 if that’s you and that works then power to you, do what works ☑️ I’d only ask you don’t assume other men can or should do the same. There are many reasons why, one is just the simple fact we’re all different and our life experiences, no matter how similar on paper are entirely unique. Other reasons are where someone is on their journey, maybe their sick of coping, maybe they want to heal and forgive, maybe they want to add depth to their self awareness, understand why they have low self esteem etc regardless, they’re in a different place than you
•
If you’re one of those who wants to understand the impact childhood trauma has on you as an adult but you don’t know where to start? Who to talk to? Maybe the thought of exploring that is terrifying… but you’re tired of struggling? Wherever you are in this journey, I’ll try and share some of the things I have learnt and you can engage with me personally or watch at a distance anonymously, whatever works. I’ve found that just understanding WHY certain experiences as a kid can have long lasting impacts throughout adulthood, helped me. It made me realise I’m not just soft or nuts (for want of a better word but that’s how I felt) and most importantly though it helped me focus my efforts in the right direction towards healing ❤️ and healthier habits

Why is meditation difficult for many of us? 🧘♂️ It made me angry at first 🤬 which I thought was weird but it was just showing me how I actually felt underneath the distractions and mental noise… and of course, I was like “nope, that’s not for me” 👋 BUT those thoughts and feelings gradually lose their power when observed 👀 and the mind loses its momentum
•
It may take some time, especially if that wheels been spinning for years 🐹 🛞 but the uncomfortable feelings start to subside, our thinking becomes clearer and we feel more at ease. The early stages can be difficult but they are crucial so stick with it for a few weeks and let me know how you get on 👊❤️

These examples even sound trivial in comparison but imagine that feeling, constantly, day after day, week after week… year after year! In many cases not even knowing why 🤷♂️ (this is a complex thing as on some level we often do but it’s buried beyond our conscious mind in survival mode)
•
Someone once said to me “You walk like you’re depressed” which made sense! I looked like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders and it felt that way 🌍 that’s why people who have suffered for some time seek refuge in sleep, drugs, alcohol, whatever it is that appears to offer some short term relief
•
I’ll share some of the strategies and techniques I used over the next few weeks but an analogy I’ll leave you with (love an analogy) is it’s like a backpack you wear constantly that over the years has had stones dropped in every so often 🪨 🎒 Some small, some bigger but eventually that weight affects our mobility, our agility, our energy, our posture etc (metaphorically and physically) and sometimes we even become accustomed to the weight… paradoxically we can even fear losing it! But we can’t just shrug it off either usually, we may not have the strength to and our muscles, movements and body have become accustomed to the weight so to speak (stay with me 🥱)
•
And so the key is removing one stone at a time and trying not to add any more. It usually takes time, it’s a process, be patient and kind to yourself ❤️ and try to reach out and seek support if you need it

If you or someone you know is struggling to get outside your/their comfort zone then it could be a fear of the unknown, which is normal and my advice is to take that leap of faith 🙌
•
However, if underneath that there is a lack of basic security, a foundation if you like, then that ‘leap of faith’ is further hindered because you’re not seeking comfort as such in your default state… your seeking security 🔐 until THAT is addressed you’ll find what’s often misinterpreted as a ‘comfort zone’, and so further misinterpreted as lack of drive, ambition, laziness etc is in fact a ‘secure space’ due to those deeper insecurities. The point I’m trying to make is it’s very difficult to THRIVE if you spend most of your time just trying to SURVIVE
•
Sometimes the opposite is true, some people seek security in achievements, accolades, earnings etc to fill that deeper need 🔒 and some may find their confidence through pushing themselves but I speak here for the silent majority 🤐 many of us (me included) see what we could achieve but feel powerless to get there, because our foundations need work 👷♂️
•
It’s the old ‘horse before the cart’ saying 🐴 don’t be discouraged if that’s the case, it’s just a matter of knowing where the fundamental work is needed before we try and build that extension 😄 secure foundations are key to building something that is safe, secure and can weather the storms ⛈️ This may also be helpful to consider if you’re trying to support someone else ❤️

The present moment is all we ever have ♾️ ✨
•
Just take a second to let that sink in….
•
Because once it does, we become present… and that feeling, that peace 😌 however brief, is a glimpse in to our natural state when we minds are not fretting over the future 😟 regretting the past 😞 wishing we were here 🏖️ or wishing things were like the good ol’ days 👴🏻 (which means the 90’s for me 😆 Diadora, Sega and Rugrats 🥹)
•
The point is we are rarely present and realising the past and future live in our minds 💭 we can let go of so much mental baggage 🧳 🧠
•
Very few people in the world are able to maintain a constant state of presence 🧘♂️ BUT, with practice and awareness we can notice when our minds are doing overtime take a second… that’s presence 👌 and in time you may be able to be present more often
•
The benefits? Peace, reduced anxiety, lighter mood, improved confidence, clearer thinking, more productive, better sleep, better physical health and essentially just being who you REALLY are, rather than you we THINK we are, or are not, or should be ❤️

ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences)
•
What we experience during childhood can have a significant impact on the rest of our lives. Many of us privately hold this assumption that we should be able to cope as adults and so dismiss the impact our experiences have on us later in life.
•
Over the coming weeks I’m going to share with you a presentation I put together a while back that explores what ACEs are and what they may mean for you. Research shows we are much more likely to experience health and social issues as an adult if we have a number of ACEs during childhood. Today they may include pandemics, lockdowns, racism, discrimination, bullying, poverty and more.
•
Understanding exactly what ACEs are and they’re impact allow us find healthy ways to heal and interrupt the cycle than is often experienced through generations. This awareness has had a huge impact on me personally and many people I have worked with. I hope you can join me over the coming weeks.
•
If you have any specific areas or questions, or you think you or someone else may be interested in live workshops, please get in touch and share the information if needed. Thank you - Joe
