Ian Dowling | Thinking out loud Ian Dowling

"Awakening" at least for me is just the beginning, an exciting new beginning but a beginning none the less. Its easy to allow the ego to jump into the driver seat when we have some form of Spiritual awakening but its only an opportunity to start fresh and see the the world anew.

We don't have to take our thoughts personally and hang on to them, just like the way we don't take music personally and hang on to it if we do not like it.

You know that energy of water spinning when you stir water in a bucket? You know the way it pulls everything towards it, the center stay the center and the focus of energy pulls everything to the middle. Well what if the present moment is like that and all we need to do is focus so much on this moment that everything can be drawn towards this center. I don't mean sitting and not taking action but our thoughts being so focused here, now in this moment that our thought only change when a more important thought comes and we don't need to go against the flow looking for unnecessary thoughts.

Thanks for listening :-)

I haven't made one of these Podcasts for a long time. I started doing Standup Comedy and my attention has been there but I want to start posting these ideas/brain dumps again as I feel like its important to share anything that could potentially be positive for even one person out there. 

The analogy of Surfing in relation to life I think is a good one because often the biggest question in my mind is whether we have control over our life or is the Universe/God of whatever you call the thing that created us in control. 

But when we look at life using the analogy of surfing it atleast for me makes more sense because when surfing we have no control over what the wave does or where it goes or when it comes but if we decide to take that wave we then have the choice of what  decisions we make on that wave, what move or turn we do etc. And if or when that wave smashes us we have the choice of being angry or upset or just shaking it off and paddling back out for the next one. Life seems to be like this if we except that opportunities come unexpectedly but when they come we then have the choice of how we respond to it.

2019 was my most honest year and then I realised I still was not honest in intimate relationships.
I thought I could not feel free in a Monogamous relationship and then while in a relationship a couple months ago I noticed a massive shift in me and I noticed that when I was more honest than I had ever been in a relationship that the feeling of freedom was the same as how id felt in the past when I became single.
Being true in our words and actions gives us a freedom that for me at least is super exciting and has opened my mind to so many new possibilities in relationships, work and all of life
