What’s It All About?
What’s It All About ALFIE ?
A hit from the 60s written by Burt Bacharach and sung by Cilla Black, “What’s it all about Alfie” was a huge favourite of mine, and the lyrics have stayed with me ever since. Over time I’ve grown in consciousness and become more aware of the gravity of the song, and today it still reaches out to remind me that it really is just all about LOVE.
What’s it all about Alfie, Is it just for the moment we live.
What’s it all about when you sort it out Alfie, are we meant to take more than we give, or are we meant to be kind.
And if only fools are kind, Alfie, then I guess it is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong Alfie, what will you lend on an old golden rule
As sure as I believe there’s a heaven above Alfie, I know there’s something much more, something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love Alfie. Without true love we just exist, Alfie. Until you find the love you’ve missed you’re nothing Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way, and you’ll find love any day, Alfie.

All my life I have been asking the question, “What is it all about?” Why are we here on planet earth? What is the purpose of man (and woman)? Why do we attack Mother Nature? Why do we fight each other? How is what is happening now evolving us?
And so many more questions.
I believe that only by living consciously (wide awake) can we feel our way through the journey of our lives and be able to live fully, touch ours and others lives in a postive way, and have the greatest experience possible while we are here visiting earth. We learn so many rules, values and beliefs as we grow and these form our perceptions, or map of the world, that we use as a guide to live and see what’s around us. What we see and hear and feel are things that have already been filtered by our ‘radar’ as to what we want to accept as real for us.
Most people go about their daily lives half (if not fully) asleep. They follow the same patterns that have been driving their behaviour for a long time, and changing those patterns is usually never achieved. Simply becuase they don’t realise that this is what is happening to them. By waking up we can see things clearly, create better lives for ourselves, our families, our communities and the world. Just through conscious thought.
Often we feel that there is still that something missing in our lives, and we get that feeling of being unfulfilled. There is a hole that needs to be filled but everything we try is the wrong shape to fit. Having this level of awareness is a great place to start, because it’s the beginning of that awareness that starts to wake us up.
ALFIE is a journey beginning with that awareness that there is more to life. A huge expanse of possibility outside of our daily patterns we repeat that can bring us all we desire. It begins with awakening.
Awakening from the sleep of everyday living
Loving life and learning to live from our heart and soul for ourselves and for humanity
Freeing ourselves from the boundaries we have created that keep us small
Igniting the passion we have and allowing ourselves to shine
Expanding our world, raising our vibrational energy and living in abundance
So what is it all about? My answer would be
‘Yes life is just for the moment we live, and without true love we just exist’
