Commitment

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:

That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too…

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it, begin it now."

Quote from William Hutchinson Murray (1913-1996) Scottish mountaineer, from his 1951 book ‘The Scottish Himalayan Expedition’ inspired by German poet and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Dedications

I dedicate this book to all my family in an effort to convey inspirations of a living flame that I and many others have experienced and tried to nurture. I hope to honour the character of my parents, ancestors and country by nurturing light of previous generations preserved for the next. I dedicate myself to the appreciation of principal seeds of genesis, sown in the heart of all of us to be felt, understood and grow freely into expansive new life and progress for all.

A friend of mine died recently before he was able to share all the light he had to give and I commit myself to also try and do something useful in his place, to share light in dedication to his memory and authentic values that I and many others share.

I also dedicate this book to all the brave truth tellers and whistle blowers who continue to step forward whatever the risks to question, investigate and report on endless important matters. They strive with acts of conscience to bring us out of ignorance into more light of understanding however shocking that may be. I pray that light grows among us to guide, illuminate and protect more truth tellers, awakening more people to greater understanding. I dedicate this book to help sustain those in the light to hold fast bravely against any darkness that tries to deceive, divide, manipulate or diminish our natural capacities to evolve and ascend together into some fulfilment.

I also dedicate this book to all those patriots who bravely fought and suffered before and are doing so now, to maintain our freedoms from tyrannies. The sacrifice and commitment to a mission of all these brave souls is a great inspiration and their borrowed light of glory helps us tremendously in our on-going struggles. The Spean Bridge Commando Memorial with its’ motto ‘United We Conquer’ and three characters is an admirable inspiring depiction of the courage, stoicism and readiness we need to unite and overcome our challenges and challengers to realise our potential.

Acknowledgements

Though I am not a qualified expert on the knowledge explored in this book, I am an aspiring seeker of truth, enthusiastic learner and willing instrument, sharing what I have felt led to appreciate. Momentary fleeting streams of consciousness, seemingly inspired and precious, are conveyed as best I can, to fill these pages.

There are so many very special people and places I should like to acknowledge for the inspirations, guidance, teaching and support they have given and inspired me to write. I cannot name them all but they are in my heart as I write this book and I hope I honour them all with integrity, insight and usefulness. This book has been an amazing journey, experiencing and gathering a collaboration of many influences, inspiring many new understandings for me.

I chose a picture I took at Callanish in 2017 for the cover of this book because it stirred and fortified me at a special turning point time, with its’ resonating pillars of wisdom, whispering ancient truths and hopefulness to prompt and conduct hopes for light and progress. These enduring way markers feel timeless and universal as William Blake said, All things begin and end in Albion’s ancient druid rocky shore. I felt a hopeful ancient resonance at Callanish with the idea that good things were happening in the world. Callanish feels representative of an ancient wealth of heritage and wisdom that is not lost, though we may have lost touch, we can feel its guidance again to restore our empowering natural alignment and advance together. I also felt a strong will and aspiration for good things to triumph over challenges and challengers, as light over darkness, which inspired me to join in and contribute, with this book. As an act of conscience, I felt I could share what I have been given, alongside gathered knowledge to add to hopeful and visionary communications for our future.

I also want to thank my wife and family for their vital help enduring long years of agonising discussions trying to clarify presentable and appreciable ideas.

Introduction

Written over 30 years, this self-help guide with included exercises, encourages people to awaken their true natural potential and character through empowered health, sensitivity, introspection and renewed appreciation of universal principles. We can guide ourselves to realise more natural potential and a brighter future than previously possible because our challenges and challengers are being exposed and confronted. Unfortunately we can’t appreciate or realise our potential without empowered health, sensitivity, introspection and freedom to do so. As a neutral synthesis of scientific, social, political, philosophical and spiritual perspectives this book delves into complex questions around natural human and planetary potential, versus corrupt trends and influences.

This book explores our inalienable potential, in keeping with consistent universal patterns of advancing harmony, that we may have made choices or been influenced away from. Erosive challenges and hostile challengers to our health, inalienable rights and responsibilities may have limited the fulfilment of our potential. We can choose to question, sensitively introspect and explore expansion of our knowledge and awareness to seek a shared bright future guided by a more active moral compass. I settled on the title ‘Empowering Alignments-A guide to realise our potential bright future’ because of positive, hopeful gathered inspirations about our natural potential, that can now be realised. Exploring the many insights presented, may help promote or catalyse greater movement toward natural harmony with fruitful empowerment to envision then manifest greater unity and progress for all.

As a seeker of truth I don’t care what the truth is, I simply wish to find out what I can. With open, keen determination we can consider evidence, speculate around what resonates with a ring of truth and explore gut feeling instincts to reach reasoned conclusions. Together we can perhaps make a stand against grubby corruption, lies, cruelty, dominance and madness by asserting our natural rights and responsibilities to flourish together with all our potential. I have been shocked and awoken by research findings about hostile determined challenges we face, yet uplifted by the commitment of those who fight for all of us to have our inalienable rights and opportunities to flourish restored.

This self-help guide seeks to stir readers’ inquisitive interest, inspiring reasoned, well considered engagement and speculative questioning to empower involvement. This can help honest, sincere, sensitive, caring introspections to seek fruitful empowerment of greater certainties. We may have tremendous unrealised, even suppressed potential in all of us, we need encouraged to explore. This can liberate our capability to establish a powerful, bountiful natural harmony in our collective life and consciousness. Through our common senses with shared understanding we can choose to align in resonance with universal principles and each other, to appreciate where we may be going or could go, depending on our state of being, attitude, level of care and priorities. To do this we may need to broaden our perspective considering quite challenging 30,000 foot overviews from over 30,000 years. We may also need to consider deeper introspections, appreciating our ancient natural potential versus our challenges and possibly hostile challengers.

Ultimately, if we are more informed and empowered, we may be able to choose a bright future of liberty, truth, beauty and progress with a fair rule of law and order for all. This will require recognising and aligning with our blueprint principles. We may not be able to realise this potential however, without some committed global struggle, movement or fight against powerful established challenges and challengers with their repetitive conflicting patterns. Will liberating human and planetary potential, force a global reckoning, between our inalienable rights and established opposing challenges, orchestrating challengers and any hostile agenda they may have?

Style

As a novice writer I have tried to use a simple style which I hope will read like an explorative genuine conversation with you, the reader. To achieve the broadest possible appeal I’ve taken an inclusive, unbiased and hopefully uncontroversial approach. If this can be read with a sincere open heart and mind, relating to what is explored, readers may see how much we are all the same, and can grow together, if we are open to allow understanding to be shared, clarified and expanded. I would have preferred this book to have been a collaboration of many contributors. Maybe a later collaborative version with further references will be useful. After 30 years of development, I finished writing in October 2018 and printed 45 copies as gifts to those who have inspired me, friends, family and those who asked for copies to review. Since then I have polished, improved and completed this work for publishing. Hopefully there is now enough visible mainstream validating activity in publicised investigations for this final book to connect with, for its worth to be appreciable. Otherwise this could appear a wild conspiracy theory based production to some readers, with an insufficient appreciable basis of evidence.

There is no escaping the depth and subtleties of the related elements to be discussed, which makes some poetic and lengthy intellectual or philosophical descriptions unavoidable. Some parts may be better read repeatedly to mine deeper subtle meanings and implications. This book compiles then connects lots of ideas, problematic issues and inspirations that feel important to discuss and explore, making it quite big. The observations and ideas of this book strive to be concise yet in the widest possible context to be thorough and touch upon important related subjects, reaching for well qualified concluding inspirations. Readers are encouraged to do research on subjects raised, to find additional references and investigations beyond the many perspectives I explore.

The message

There is a hopeful, exciting possibility that we as human beings have a supreme natural potential to shape our lives and future, if we recognise alignment with our own inbuilt powers versus the dehumanising influences that hold us back. Continued ignorance of our potential, or of problems and their sources can create a fragile future. Problematic issues like climate change, diminishing human health, narrowing distribution of wealth, illegal wars, increased surveillance and censorship etc. need more attention, investigation and understanding. We can perhaps choose to advance in awareness, health and harmony if we recognise the deep common sense principles that define our inalienable rights and responsibilities. We have an opportunity to grasp a bright future if we can attune ourselves to align with the timeless supportive principles outlined in this book and so manifest an unfolding blueprint of our natural potential. Recent global changes, movements and actions may have forced a lull in the progress of deteriorating challenges and their sources offering this opportunity for us to grasp.

Unfortunately, perhaps uncomfortably, we need first to explore the disruptive, desensitising, dehumanising influences undermining and unravelling our healthy advancement in order to realise how we have developed our problems and see where we can go together, if our potential is liberated.

Our individual potential, health or particular difficulties may be determined by the vitality and underlying nature of universal subtle energies within us, which are the supportive, guiding roots of our body and existence. What if the problems of the world come down to human beings, with the roots of those problems and their possible resolution being on the subtlest level of our underlying energies?

This book explores our sensitive instincts to help us attune ourselves, through introspection, to appreciate a resonating alignment with the empowering nature of our subtle root energies, giving us support and guidance for healthy advancement. The dynamic perpetuation of an ever- advancing healthy, harmonious blueprint pattern of life unfolding, is the eternal universal programme of supreme energies, which we can choose to align with or not. We are going to explore how we can intensify our focus on, or questioning of, what is important or possible, working out what to seek and cherish, versus what to let go. There is no value in manipulative intellectual or dogmatic lectures, platitudes or clichés; we need real questions and supported sincere reasoned answers to unlock our potential bright future. This book explores the following:

• Fate, destiny and providence - exploring a hypothesis that we may exist within a universal reality of harmonious patterns that are not random but shaped, maintained and progressed by supreme constant universal energies with their principles and laws.

• Patterns and blueprints of nature and the universe may ultimately triumph advancing harmony and order over any chaos or disturbance, including human influence, with or without us.

• Natural alignment – we can explore the natural alignment of our beings, understanding and wishes with associated empowering principles that describe and manifest our greater human potential.

• Natural laws, blueprints, seeds and evolution of people and cultures are key subjects considered.

• The impact and bigger picture consequences of misalignment on our health, resonance, harmony and realisation of blueprint potential is explored.

• Evidence of the possibility of hostile disruptive influences and control over our lives, health, understanding and advancement is considered.

• Individual awakening, secret knowledge and the bigger picture are contemplated.

• Eight exercises experimenting with introspections and feelings to get some verification of the existence and qualities of our seven main energy centers or inner dimension realms are included.

Questions to be asked and answered

Can we ever ask enough questions to be sure of ourselves and what we know about our world? There are so many questions, but at this moment I am wondering if we are in a time of extraordinary disconnection from our nature, manipulated and diminished in human and planetary health by enabled corrupt leadership that ignores natural law.

How did we get here, can we get out of this darkness and can we sustain a collective light to prevent us ever slipping back again? Can we raise more care and integrity against sneering, skeptical impotence to encourage more appreciation and understanding of our individual influence? How do we discover and align with the empowering universal blueprint of life to help us achieve a bright future? Each of these questions is examined and answers ventured, with supporting evidence. This book explores deep ancient roots and heritage, nurtured by our ancestors and the unconditional grace of universal energy principles, guiding and attuning us to a bright future.

This book is laid out after introductions, in 16 chapters grouped into three parts or sections. The Part One chapters discuss inspirations and considerations. The Part Two chapters explore aspects of our human nature formed in seven realms, with exercises to investigate validation. The Part Three chapters conclude how we might realise our potential over challenges and challengers with a final eighth exercise.

This book could serve as a useful foundation or structural document for readers to keep coming back to with their own views and discoveries that can then be placed or seen in a connected, ever widening context. This may also be a useful introductory read for experienced seekers of truth to give to people who are perhaps just starting to consider bigger questions and problems to help their personal journey confidence.

One — Terms of Reference

There are unavoidably many important subjects and insights needing touched upon to try and develop a high resolution, thorough and well qualified view. Key considerations are introduced in this chapter and will be re-visited later and explored in greater detail with some recap.

Personal Note

I travelled the world in my early 20s to discover what I wanted to do and who I was. On returning to Scotland from Australia, my beautiful mother introduced me to a spiritual awakening and revelation she had been given that actually described a whole picture of how everything in principle fits together. She explained how we can settle down into a clarified, nourished and balanced state, fortified with grace from within, by our own awakened living flame, to feel and understand in our own terms a subtle dimension to life. This meditative experience began slowly but resonated in me and has expanded ever more since and deepened some sensitivity to appreciate how much ‘everything in principle fits together’. I am only a small faltering way down this road but it remains fascinating, all-encompassing and uplifting. Most of all it is a tremendous help in feeling more clearly what resonates and what simply just doesn’t ring true. This fledgling development has brought me a beneficial awareness of the shared roots in all cultures; this book shares some amazing insights this has brought.

Ring of truth

After many years working on this book the final pieces fell into place to crystallize a sense of this being the right time for completion. Among titles I considered, I was going to call this book ‘Ring of Truth’ because it came about from many powerfully resonating ideas and inspirations that I like many others, have felt. With such strong ring of truth feelings from inspired ideas, I felt urged to share my inspirations in what I hope are well enough explained ways to be useful to others. I feel at peace with this book, however imperfect, because something that seemed important and useful to me has been expressed. This is my contribution to a struggle I feel we are in, to realise our natural potential overcoming challenging oppressions.

The experience of palpable resonating ideas and principles created the essence of this book. These experiences are a growing phenomenon for me and others where something inside is spontaneously stirred and resonated in an uplifting way. This is often surprising, caused by something very special that seems to point toward amazing things we are capable of understanding and becoming. This book compiles knowledge, inspirations, conjectures, and supportive evidence that chimes with a resonating ring of truth, seeming powerful, valuable and worthy of sharing. Understanding why and how something resonates inside us with a ring of truth, is a deeply curious question for me particularly if it is an idea that changes or expands my view or perceptions. One of the first principles that resonated for me was that ‘we have to stay open’ to new ideas, expansions or corrections to our existing understanding in order to remain supple, sensitive and honest enough to let our understanding grow and, if needed, change.

If

If we can shake off bad influences through our own awakenings, relating what we know and love, to each other, we can perhaps save each other from ignorance to build a brighter future. If we care enough to dare to speak out, be prepared to discuss, meet and relate, maybe we can do wonders. Some shared discoveries may be shocking and painful but our potential liberation may require a lot of truth to set us free. There may be individuals and groups that like the world how it is and have plans in motion to keep it the way it suits them. Let us be committed and determined not to let anything come between any of us and our potential bright shared future.

Inspiration of our perceived struggle

I am trying through this book to do my bit to help a struggle we may all be in to find a truly sustainable and progressive future for all; a path that is not a lie or a scam that only suits some people or an elite few. I am prompted by increasing knowledge of the many challenges we face in our health, environment, societies, sciences, industries, institutions, governments and medias, to help raise enough resolving interest and expanded awareness. There are always struggles at any time, but the nature of our struggles now seems to be so global that it is easy for individuals to feel lost in the scale and feel completely impotent to make any difference. Why bother trying or even caring about things you cannot impact and which may trouble you to consider? Let us explore whether there are ways to clarify, empower and unify individuals into a resolving force for lasting positive change to address problems and liberate our shared potential.

Some people may be turned off, have little interest or object to being made aware of anything that spoils their fun or outlook; they may feel that everything is fine as it has always been, and considering negative issues is pointless. But maybe everything is not fine, and there are big problems to resolve that involve or affect all of us. In that case the more of us who mobilise our inner strengths to understand and see the roots of problems, the better the outcome can be. I am enthusiastic and inspired to write, because I feel very hopeful there may be a powerful universal blueprint to our life that we can align with much more closely, in order to resolve our troublesome issues, and manifest our potential despite challenges.

Timing

I thought I had nearly completed this book in January 2018 and wanted to publish it online on the 1st March 2018. Unfortunately, it has taken a long time, among other tasks, to complete and polish up this book in my limited spare time. The eventual timing of finishing this difficult book however feels good, when there is so much need to find more common ground in relationships and shared truths to help us overcome the polarised views, lies or manipulations that seem to increasingly surround us, to help navigate toward a brighter future for all. The manifesto of this book is to help expose, challenge and overcome unreasonable entrenched views and common perpetuated lies that may be holding back our real progress. As ever, we face many challenges in our modern time, but the loss of shared values and instincts undermines our natural collective ability to find our way back from dark to light and ugliness to beauty together. This may be a vital time to care about what is really important and help us all come to our common senses with all our wits and wisdom together.

I have been pondering inspirations for this book for around 30 years, trying to get the complete narrative and focus that feels thorough, right and useful. I have been anxious to publish this book when it may be most beneficial. This is not a recent money-making venture that tries to exploit or jump on any current bandwagon. I am publishing this book under a pen name because I am not interested in recognition and would like to keep the focus on the content and message, not the writer. My gut tells me to launch this bit of writing like an imperfect message in a bottle so that it is out there at the right time, joining the struggle at least secretly in the collective consciousness. A revised later edition of this book may be produced if there is sufficient interest with feedback to help shape a more useful version. It would be great if it could evolve as a shared project with others, gathering collective thoughts and insights into a useful context. Hopefully readers will feel some resonance in the timing and usefulness of this contribution to expand thinking and awareness to confront destructive challenges and challengers.

At the eventual time of publishing, this small offering may be following on from a tipping point of change in the world toward liberty, truth, justice, health, disclosure and reconciliation for all. As a result of this change, there may be ongoing struggles with visible and clandestine machinations of political, judicial, military, media and scientific knowledge revelations with confusions to endure for many years to come. My offering joins others in this period of a possible global struggle to restore and rebuild our collective health, hopefulness, consciousness and realisation of our shared potential in liberty. I hope to encourage and catalyse a movement toward clarified sensitive realignments with each other into our natural harmonious, powerfully resonating pattern of shared potential and consciousness.

Fate, destiny and providence

This book explores a hypothesis that we may exist within a universal reality of harmonious patterns that are shaped, maintained and progressed by supreme and constant universal energies with their own principles and laws. In addition, the patterns and blueprints of the nature of the universe may continue to ultimately triumph over any chaos or disturbance including our influence, with or without us. The power and reality of this destiny suggests a fated future of peace and harmony we could be part of. We may need to consider ‘getting with the universal programme’ in an alignment and resonance of our health, actions, decisions and inspirations, appreciating the primacy and power of active universal providence in our daily lives. This book does not foolishly or arrogantly pretend to offer all the answers to how we realise our potential and fulfilment over our challenges. It tries to genuinely and ardently explore possibilities and inspirations from my own over 30 years consideration. Are we out of optimal alignment and connection with nature? Have we drifted unwittingly or have we been influenced, misled and cheated and if we have, by whom and why? What does it matter if we are misaligned? How might we get back on track into healthy alignment and resonance, and why would we want to? These seem unavoidably lengthy yet important questions, with many relevant related parts needing to be explored around health, science, social engineering, politics, law, media, philosophy, morality and a subtle or spiritual dimension.

I have always been intrigued by deep questioning, finding various people, books and places to answer the questions that arise out of my seeking. I enjoy exploring these questions with others through various activities, including this book. I hope this book will similarly stimulate you to ask questions and try activities that lead you towards helpful insights and answers.

What an amazing time of fast-paced change we are experiencing in this second decade of the 21st century. This previously described turning point period of great revelations and disclosures may be empowered by new awakenings, perspectives and a palpable resolving energy of light. In this potential season of change with perhaps polarised views, where are we individually in our understanding, cares, alignments and desires? How can we individually navigate with certainty through this period to restore and progress a healthy, caring future for all, on lasting foundations? Is there a risk that the consistent timeless harmonious patterns of the whole universe could be broken down and degenerated into some global entropy of complete disorder through uncaring volatile discord? Can we fight ignorance and division to achieve our potential in powerful unity?

This book offers help in our struggle for progress by identifying and exploring timeless principles of empowerment that might encourage us all to share more common focal points of certainty. It can be challenging yet profoundly rewarding to explore other perspectives or consideration of truth and principles, seeking additional answers and insights. All understanding, beliefs and faiths may have meeting points that describe some wholeness or unity worth exploring. A sense of unity may be possible, but only healthy and real if it manifests naturally in liberty, rather than being forced or dictated. With heart and depth we can find our way sensitively together in more truth from wherever we are to where we would like to be, for our self and future generations. It is surely always good to expand our thinking, awareness and sensitivities.

We may be able to choose to align and resonate more with the reality of harmonious eternal universal energies, patterns and principles forming the benevolent blueprint of life. Our potential as individuals and together may be realised in the understanding or appreciation of this reality with its nature of unity surpassing all divisions or smallness. The resolution of our problems and challenges may be within our grasp if we can attune to the helpful, guiding, supportive energies within us that shape and maintain healthy life with their principles. The nature of our underlying energies may represent the fundamental principles of life that rule supreme with their primacy to shape all existence.

Exploring a natural alignment of our understanding and wishes could bring out the resolving creative potential we need to empower ourselves as individuals and populations to realise a truly sustainable, fulfilling future. We may be supported by natural energies of light that we can call upon and wield with sovereignty in our lives to manifest great potential.

Health

Exploring possible blueprints of what constitutes basic functioning versus optimal health is central to this book, considering sources of possible problematic issues, misalignments or weakness. Health, balance and energetic clarity may unavoidably affect our vital higher functions of perception, learning and consciousness. Optimal learning of expanded awareness and understanding may require optimal health in all aspects, including subtle levels. We can explore ways of building or restoring all aspects and functions of health, but here I focus on the subtle energetic aspect of our nature that underlies our physical bodies, considering it of prime importance. Our overall health may be determined by the health of our subtlest responses to supportive and guiding energy flows that we may not be even conscious of. Introspective attention on this level may realise more optimal health potential by nurturing expansion of our capacity to have deeper learning and personal growth. Meditative practices like the exercises in this book encourage sensitivity to recognise beneficial knowledge. This can then help us identify detrimental ideas, influences and activities and, their impact upon us.

Empowerment through resonance

What I mean by resonating or resonance relates to a palpable ‘ring of truth’ perception which is amplifying, uplifting and empowering. This ‘ring of truth’ can be a profound experience, where we are moved inside by a rush of chills, goose bumps or elation that is felt when something stirs us deeply. This can also be a simple, ordinary feeling of common sense, where something fits and makes sense with no obvious discord. Hearing a beautiful song or some music is probably the most common experience of a deep resonance that stirs a rush of appreciative feelings inside us. Like most people, I have experienced deep resonance many times with music, but I have also felt it when I have heard some people speak and even when reading something very special.

I also understand resonance from physics at school, where I remember we watched a video of a man walking with a long plank balanced on his shoulder at the midpoint that bounced as he walked. As the man walked faster and faster the plank of wood began to bounce more and more violently until it flapped ridiculously at a certain speed of walking. As he continued speeding up he went beyond that certain speed or frequency of steps that related to the resonant frequency of the plank. Repeating this experiment with a different species of wood, moisture content, section size or length would vary the resonant frequency. This observation helps show how everything has an inherent frequency of its own at any point in time and will resonate (move in amplified unison) with anything impacting it, at the same frequency. For the plank this base frequency interaction, revealed its’ resonance and caused it maximum stress with a risk of splitting. If the experiment had been a piano wire, depending on its’ tension the resonant frequency vibration would coincide with a particular sound or musical note key. If a piano wire is set to a certain tension its’ resonant frequency can tune in to interact with resonant frequencies of nature and human beings.

So everything material or subtle, solid or gaseous has its own related resonant frequency or wavelength that can be stimulated, influenced or interacted with in harmony, to invoke an amplification of that frequency. Multiples or fractions of that same resonant frequency can create resonance on many levels. Objects like cars or people, with many components, have resonant frequencies for each of their components but also for the overall composite object. Each human body, like each individual car with all its’ components will have an overall resonant frequency that can be amplified at a base fundamental level or higher, called ‘overtones’ as multiples of resonant frequency. Like cars we can be tuned and operate at different wavelengths, like a piano wire to either resonate in harmony or clash with natures’ orchestra.

With our own wavelength, which can vary depending on our health and exertions, we can experience something that hits our current wavelength or frequency and resonates with a powerfully amplified feeling or appreciative sense of innately right for us. This is the meaning of a ring of truth for me: something that is recognisable as true because it palpably resonates on my current wavelength of thought and feeling to be insightful as some revelation, generating an amplified uplifting appreciation. We can vary in our health, sensitivity and preferences to perhaps tune ourselves into resonating with uplifting or disturbing vibrations. The choice and benefits of tuning in to resonance with nature versus preferring discord, is central to this book. Resonance is a feeling, not a thought: it surpasses limited thought and mental understanding with an appreciable expansive sense of revelation. Focusing on what resonates with health might liberate us from illusions or the manipulations of limited, divisive ideologies and politics.

Certain knowledge, ideas, inspirations or understanding can have a powerful resonance, ring-of-truth wavelength. Ideas can perhaps be felt chiming intuitively in resonance with innate, inherent, instinctive and unconscious principal understanding built up, perhaps, in the ancient DNA fabric of our beings. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the inherited building block blueprint and genetic information of our bodies, formed by two spiral molecule strands or chains coiled around each other in a double helix pattern. DNA molecules carry the evolved genetic codes and instructions used in the growth, development, instinctive functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms including viruses. The instructions held in our DNA may form much more than a bodily health and functioning management system. Our DNA may also carry ancient universal principle understanding that our ancestors developed and imbibed in their consciousness. The entire data of the world internet (455 Exabytes) apparently could be stored in a gram of DNA, which is designed to carry vast information, so imagine how much memory data we might be carrying unconsciously in our average 60g of DNA in our body. Consider reading the New Scientist article by Mike Murphy, published on 17th February 2015 in qz.com Scientists say all the world’s data can fit on a DNA hard drive the size of a teaspoon. These DNA inherited codes of appreciated principles may guide ongoing expansions of our understanding and consciousness if we are sensitive to what resonates, rings true or chimes with them. What evolved information of guidance for health and progress may be built up in the vast data bank of our DNA, to be explored by the introspections of our instincts?

What chimes in resonance with our inner instincts can be very insightful and illuminating though perhaps just a range of common sense. In this book I hope to encourage an exploration of more introspective sensitivity to help us attune ourselves more to what rings true. Attuning more can take us from noticing some resonance to recognizing something about it with an understanding of value that can become an experienced appreciation. If we can appreciate more about what might be just common sense principles, by feeling more deeply what resonates, we may find powerful illuminating unity among us, to help us realise our shared potential for a bright, fulfilling future. Our next frontiers of life in perhaps expanded consciousness or interplanetary movement and interactions may be successful, if guided by our foundation principles.

Depending on our sensitivity, health and clarity, plus the actual condition of our DNA, we may not feel much that rings true with any great potency of resonance. We may also struggle to confidently explore, express and articulate expansively what we do feel innately for others to appreciate the principle seed guidance we sense. I hope this book can help illuminate the pattern and underlying principles that may be trying to guide us, in order to help find more useful expressions or articulations of our shared healthy common sense. Some revelations when they sink in have big consequences that we may not feel ready for. In my own experience certain ideas never rang true till I heard them articulated well enough, with sufficient context from a credible source. I also had to be ready, willing to listen and appreciative, with a keen attention. This book is a hopeful effort to prepare us to express instinctive understanding about our world, health, potential, challenges and opportunities, and to help us progress our shared lives to fulfilment.

Conversely of course, some ideas or actions ring alarm bells and can seem wrong; leading to dark roads, erosions, divisions, destructions and ugliness. Perhaps we feel the foreboding sense of intuitive alarm bells because something challenges structures of our instinctive healthy understanding. Navigating successfully through understanding, ideas, influences, choices, loyalties and assumptions is not simple or easy.

Without wishing to complicate this introduction I feel we can choose our wavelength and what we can tune in to and relate to with that feeling of resonance. When we are healthy our bodies are understood to have a natural overall frequency within the range of 62 to 76 Hertz, with different frequencies in various parts of our body. To choose or adjust our wavelength for optimal health and performance requires a sensitivity and depth of feeling that I am trying to explore to bring out more of our potential. The physicist Winfried Otto Schumann discovered in 1951 that our world resonates at an overall frequency of 7.83 Hertz, which relates exactly to the subtle and powerful alpha waves of our brain. So we can see that everything can resonate together in supportive harmony if we have sufficient sensitive depth of feeling to adjust ourselves into alignment, attuning to the potential of natural empowering wavelengths. The Schumann resonance frequency of our planet may also reflect the wavelength or vibration level of our connected collective consciousness and indicate when it is rising or declining.

The understanding of harmonics and how different exact aligned wavelengths can resonate with each other and harmonise like a choir of voices is very interesting. When any one member of a choir is out of tune the whole performance is disturbed and can only be restored by tuning or replacing that member. Each part of our body has its own healthy wavelength of performance and can combine in harmony with all other parts of our body to create our overall choir wavelength, which ranges from 62 to 76 Hz. Ill-health and discord are now being correlated with out of tune wavelengths in parts of our body and the world, which is another insight to natural healthy underlying patterns of alignment. Fundamentally, if we are sensitive enough to feel when we are out of tune we can re-tune ourselves back into alignment, powerful resonance and harmony. We can of course just ignore being out of tune and accept the consequences of jarring discord and disharmony in ourselves and our place in the choir of life.

Alignments versus conformities

Alignments are another key element in this book that relates closely to resonance and is a powerful phenomenon when it happens exactly. Alignments are precise where like the standing stones of Callanish, they are powerful because they are exactly in the right position and simply would not resonate if they were even slightly off. Finding alignment is all about tuning into a resonating wavelength in the state of our being which brings a powerful amplified optimum state of harmony. If we are just slightly off alignment with each other or just slightly off-key in our singing, the resonance just doesn’t happen. Coming into alignment is all about our sensitivity to that alignment, and having the suppleness to alter ourselves or the pitch of our voices to get in key or into alignment. Perhaps alignment is so exact and fluid that it cannot be calculated and can only be felt with sufficient sensitivity to tuning and resonance.

If there is an optimal universal healthy alignment that brings out our potential to attune ourselves through sensitivity, any drift out of alignment may erode our health or diminish our potential. If we do not care or simply want to do and live as we wish and justify, without exploring what resonates, we could drift endlessly away from an optimal life performance and lose the sensitivity to return. Trends of diminishing human and planetary health would suggest we are living out of balance, away from our natural alignment. Could we pause arguments, justifications and attempts to reinforce or sanctify how we demand to live and explore sensitively what perhaps resonates and rings true, potentially finding our optimal alignment? This book makes a reasoned case for the value of exploring whether we are out of optimal natural alignment, how this may have happened and how we can perhaps get back on track in alignment with the universal programme to prosper all our potential. Whatever we try and do or achieve might be more successful and fruitful if it is born out of a healthy state of being, with the strength of natural alignment bringing guidance and supportive energy empowerment. Conversely, if we are and remain, out of alignment individually or collectively, our best efforts may struggle and flounder, lacking the necessary clarity, foundation, timing and support, to overcome challenges and endure.

Our alignment can happen when we come together on a similar or same wavelength to something or each other, where we resonate as a group or population, not just individually. This is not to be confused with any forced limiting conformity, since in alignment, resonance amplifies and liberates our potential empowering expansive freedoms not reducing. There may be resonant frequencies in the subtle energies of our being that reflect our state of health and what we in turn can resonate with and relate to. If we can settle ourselves into a more balanced, healthy state of being we may align together more on a similar optimum resonant frequency in our energies and find a shared appreciation of what rings true for all of us, with no forced conformity. If we can be supple in our understanding and attitude, with an improved sensitivity, we may be able to tune ourselves to find a shared alignment and powerful harmonious resonance.

If a certain amplified magic happens when alignments are exact and we can become so much more than the sum of our parts, it seems well worth exploring. It is also worth exploring whether anything is affecting our natural optimal alignments and wavelengths, spoiling our health and potential.

Harmony

Considering an understanding of dynamic powerful harmony is very important in this book because it is the natural culminating beneficial state, discovered through choosing to find our individual alignment and resonance with the subtle forces of life.
