                                                                    QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"We can’t fear the past. Fear is a future thing. And since the future’s all in our heads, fear
  must be a head thing." – Tom Payne

 

Hi

Welcome to Lifebuilder! We have decided to send out this longer edition of Lifebuilder only once a month, as we are now sending out a daily message with a quote to inspire and motivate you every day. In this week's edition, we focus on FEAR, the single factor that stops most people from successfully living their purpose and creating the magnificent life everyone is capable of leading. If you live in Johannesburg and are interested in learning how to overcome fear and discover the genius inside you, come to a talk given by Jonathan Quail, the CEO of Lifebuild, entitled 'How to Overcome Fear and Transform to Genius' on Monday the 30th of July from 6 to 8.30 p.m. at the FNB Conference Centre in Sandton. We also have a number of other fascinating talks coming up in August at our regular Monday evening talks - see the Events section below to find out more about these. And if you are interested in wealth creation and property investment in particular, the Lifebuild Property Investment Network (PIN) holds a regular mini-seminar on wealth creation through property investment every Wednesday evening from 6 to 8.30 p.m. at the FNB Conference Centre in Sandton. We hope to see you at one of these events, and enjoy this week's edition in the mean time!

 Lifebuilder Talk - 'Slave Species of god'

Date: Monday, 6 August
Time: 6 - 8 p.m. 
Venue: FNB Conference Centre, 114 Grayston Drive, Sandton
Investment: R50 (includes tea, coffee and sandwiches at the break)
                 
Michael Tellenger talks about his bestselling and highly controversial book, Slave Species of god, and its profound implications for our understanding of ourselves and life. In this fascinating talk, he will ask and answer a number of questions man has been asking since homo sapiens first became a conscious species, such as:

• What do we really know about our human origins?
• Where did mankind suddenly appear from around 250,000 years ago?
• Why have humans always been so obsessed with gold?
• Why is the flying serpent the creator god in most mythologies?
• Why do human beings use less than 3% of our DNA's intelligent capacity, far less than any other species?

Michael draws on science, genetics, ancient history, religion and astronomy to reveal the shocking truth behind our human origins. If you are at all curious about where we as a species came from and what the future holds for us, do not miss this talk. Here's what a few people have said about Slave Species of god:

"This will be an American bestseller. Once I started reading I could not stop" - Rob McConnell, TalkStar Radio Network

"Get hold of this book and devour – if you are a scholar of life, this book should be your companion!" - Fiona Ramsay, SAfm Nationwide Radio

"One of the most riveting books I have ever read. Non-fiction written with the fast pace of a best-seller novel. It asks and answers questions that we were taught should not be asked. The author’s passion absorbs the reader from page 1." - Glenn Lewington, World Today, SABC3 TV

"Slave Species of god" is so much more than an eye opening story that tugs at your educated beliefs, it is an entertaining and captivating read. Michael Tellinger takes us beyond our taught beliefs and leads us on a quest for the truth based on scientific fact - a journey totally unlike anything we have been taught to believe. What a trip! What a read!" - Francois Vorster, Ananzi

Lifebuilder Talk - 'Sound Therapy: Fine Tune your Life'

Date: Monday, 13 August
Time: 6 - 8 p.m. 
Venue: FNB Conference Centre, 114 Grayston Drive, Sandton
Investment: R50 (includes tea, coffee and sandwiches at the break)

Have you ever listened to music that instantly transported you back into a distant and long forgotten memory, even as far back as your childhood? Or heard a sound that evoked strong emotions of sadness or anger or joy? Sound has an incredible ability to tap into the powerful resources of our subconscious mind and emotions. It entrains brainwave activity, creating highly receptive and tranquil states of mind. It can re-energise, create deep states of relaxation and even facilitate deep meditation and transcendent awareness. It is a portal and gateway to our Higher Self and we can learn to use it to improve and balance all aspects of our being - the physical body, the mind, the emotions and the soul - to re-balance and achieve a state of natural harmony, peak performance and sound health. In essence, we are actually Beings made of Sound!

Join Steve Tsakiris, a Personal Development facilitator and teacher who works with sound as a tool for self-transformation and growth, to discover how the power of sound can transform your life on Monday the 13th of August. John Kehoe, the best selling author of Mind Power, has said of Steve: "The finest sound therapist I know. Steve’s depth of knowledge, integrity and commitment to the science of sound makes him a unique therapist and teacher.”

Lifebuilder Talk - 'A School Called Earth'

Date: Monday, 20 August
Time: 6 - 8 p.m. 
Venue: FNB Conference Centre, 114 Grayston Drive, Sandton
Investment: R50 (includes tea, coffee and sandwiches at the break)

Luis Miguel Falcao, a psychic with the gift of being able to communicate with souls and the Spirit world, will be doing a talk that covers the main points of his revelationary book A School Called Earth. More and more people are asking questions about our purpose on Earth. Many cannot find good enough answers in religions developed thousands of years ago that seem to them to have little relevance to life in modern society. Many are searching for proof of the existence of something beyond the physical world we experience with our 5 senses. A School Called Earth provides the answers to many of the questions that people in search of the truth are asking, such as:

• Who am I?
• Where do we come from?
• Why are we here?
• Where do we go when we die?

A School Called Earth is a book about an unorthodox rebel who found enlightenment through his acceptance of 'Being' and has subsequently become a speaker about the truth many people are seeking. His talk and book A School Called Earth set out the timeless truths he has personally experienced. An understanding of these truths leads to a sense of purpose and helps us come to terms with the lessons we encounter on this often tough journey through life as a spiritual being having a human experience.

The Origin and Overcoming of Fear

"The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now. You are in the here and now, while your mind is in the future. This creates an anxiety gap. And if you are identified with your mind and have lost touch with the power and simplicity of the Now, that anxiety gap will be your constant companion. You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection – you cannot cope with the future.

Moreover, as long as you are identified with your mind, the ego runs your life. Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defence mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident. Now remember that an emotion is the body’s reaction to your mind. What message is the body receiving continuously from the ego, the false, mind-made self? Danger, I am under threat. And what is the emotion generated by this continuous message? Fear, of course.

Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego’s fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.

For example, even such a trivial and “normal” thing as the compulsive need to be right in an argument and make the other person wrong – defending the mental position with which you have identified – is due to the fear of death. If you identify with a mental position, then if you are wrong, your mind based sense of self is seriously threatened with annihilation. So you as the ego cannot afford to be wrong. To be wrong is to die. Wars have been fought over this, and countless relationships have broken down.

Once you have disidentified from your mind, whether you are right or wrong makes no difference to your sense of self at all, so the forcefully compulsive and deeply unconscious need to be right, which is a form of violence, will no longer be there. You can state clearly and firmly how you feel or what you think, but there will be no aggressiveness or defensiveness about it. Your sense of self is then derived from a deeper and truer place within yourself, not from the mind.

Watch out for any kind of defensiveness within yourself. What are you defending? An illusory identity, an image in your mind, a fictitious entity. By making this pattern conscious, by witnessing it, you disidentify from it. In the light of your consciousness, the unconscious pattern will quickly dissolve.

This is the end of all arguments and power games, which are so corrosive to relationships. Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power is within, and it is available to you now.

The mind always seeks to deny the Now and to escape from it. In other words, the more you are identified with your mind, the more you suffer. Or you may put it like this: The more you are able to honour and accept the Now, the more you are free of pain, of suffering – and free of the egoic mind.

If you no longer want to create pain for yourself and others, if you no longer want to add to the residue of past pain that still lives on in you, then don’t create any more time, or at least no more than is necessary to deal with the practical aspects of your life. How to stop creating time?

Realise deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life. Whereas before you dwelt in time and paid brief visits to the Now, have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future when required to deal with the practical aspects of your life situation. Always say “yes” to the present moment."

The above passage is an extract from the book 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. Click here to order the book Now, or here to download chapter 1 of the book.

In the next edition of Lifebuilder, we will show you how you can re-awaken the latent psychic powers within you to consciously co-create your life with the Universe. Until then, be well!
