Part One

What's True

What's True

I believe in you, that's what's true. That's the number one reason why I'm here.

But what's true of your world?

As I have mentioned, the first part of Live Your Sunshine — Be Your Light focuses on what is known and true of the world you are living in. This is information I wasn't aware of in my early ventures into improving my approach to my life and how I let things make me feel. But over the past ten to fifteen years I've read and learned a lot, and the facts about our world are continually evolving as scientists find out more and more.

So, although I wasn't aware of a lot of the points I share in Part One during the earlier stages of my own spiritual enrichment journey, I feel they are important for you to understand as you review where you're at in your life and consider where you want to be. I would definitely have made progress, and experienced insight and awakening, a little more quickly if I'd known and understood how much more I could influence my life, and what I had inside me that would help me reach higher and burst into flower.

I also like to know why and how. I'm curious, inquisitive, and interested, so I spend a lot of time looking for answers and information. I thought it might help you if I shared some of that information. Part One contains a lot of the answers – the current known truths – about our universe, which, in turn, highlights how incredibly difficult we've made life for ourselves.

But it also highlights how we can use what's around us and what we know to make life so much easier. Awareness is empowering, and knowing and realising means we can take a step back and work with what we now know is.

* Believe in you – I do.

ur Universe

You may or may not be aware of (or you may have chosen to ignore or dismiss as many have), some of what's going on around us in this big world and what's going on in that vastness, that space around us.

We are all tiny parts of an expansive universe – sometimes now being called the quantum field or realm, other times known as source, God, or the cosmos.

The universe is varying levels of vibrational energy that contain everything we are and know.

Therefore the whole Universe is actually made out of energy, and what we perceive as matter is also energy. The collective energy waves of the Universe, which might be referred to as 'invisible moving forces', comprise the field ...

Bruce Lipton

There are laws that operate within that expanse of energy. We've grown up knowing some of these laws, such as the one that creates gravity, but most of them have been kept under wraps.

We are energy too, a vibrational part of that expanse of energy called the universe. There is energy inside our physical bodies and surrounding our bodies. The energy surrounding our physical bodies is known as an aura. The energy beyond our auras expands into that huge quantum field of energy.

* You are energy.

You Are Connected to Something Huge

This way of thinking may be a little different to what you are used to. It may be a bit challenging. You may not like it, but it's important to follow your progress through this book in the context of this information. In fact, without acceptance or understanding of the fact that you're a tiny piece of energy – a very important and connected tiny piece – in something that's far bigger than your own little world or even the big world we live in, you'll lose a lot of benefit and value from the greater broader learning you'll derive from working through these chapters. That energy – that vibration, these laws – works with you to create your reality. What's 'happening to you' isn't just accidental. When you realise and understand this even just a little bit, you can then use it to your advantage and make your world just a little bit easier and more enjoyable.

Have a think about times when you've just known you need to do something, or when you've received a strong and powerful message from somewhere inside you that you can't quite explain. Perhaps you felt that you needed to be somewhere, or that something was just right (or not right). What do you think was happening there?

Think about times when you've 'felt a vibe' or had a strong inner sense about something.

This is the universe working with your inner being. This is your true self, your heart, your intuition. This is all of these things that are one, that are you, connecting with the higher energy that's all around you and guiding you along your way. If you can picture something like that happening — an invisible connection, or telephone line, between you inside and the tops of the trees and beyond – then you'll be able to see yourself operating perfectly without any needless interruptions or negative self-talk from your head. Hold on to that picture!

You are so much more than just your mind and your body. This sort of internal communication is happening all the time, but most of the time we don't listen to it because we're too busy listening instead to our egos, our logic, our reason, our friends.

Think also of times when you have walked into a room and felt an atmosphere. What else, other than energy, other than something bigger than anything you can touch, could that be?

You have been connecting and connected with universal energy your whole life. So, accept that fact here and now because this knowing will help you to pay attention to more of what's right for you and what's in front of you.

This is also about you building the confidence not only to listen to you, but to stop listening to others who are guiding you along the path they want you on (which they may be doing consciously or subconsciously). The path others would rather see you on is often quite a different path to the one you know, deep down, you'd rather be on. This is about you no longer conforming and no longer striving to meet expectations of other people – or your imagined expectations of other people. It is about standing up for yourself and having faith and belief in yourself and the messages you're receiving from your heart. The messages you receive from deep inside are your highest thoughts, your intuition, and they're coming from your connection to universal energy. They're the best guidance for you at any point in time. They are your highest vibration, and they are pure love. Don't go looking for alternatives, disputes, negotiations, or 'ways out'; I want you to trust...
