There is a reason for all things. I don’t know what it is … I just know there is a reason behind all things. Just because I do not know what it is … does not mean it is not there. During the covid lockdowns and all that happened, I witnessed people behave in the[…]
What is the greatest legacy we can leave behind? It is love. It is that we loved well, and were loved in return. It is that we cared about people, that we were kind, that we loved ourself so well that we were like a beacon of love. The possessions we leave behind are momentos, but they[…]
Spring arrived, bringing with it a sense of excitement for the months ahead. I set a goal: I want to see how much cycling I can do before winter returns. I like to get out on a Sunday morning on my carbon fibre racing bike, and crank out a 100 km ride. I have set[…]
The problem with having expectations, is that so often the other person has no idea of our expectations. We get upset because they do not react, respond, in a way we expect them to, in a way that we deem is appropriate. But … the fault, in truth, lies with us having had the expectation.[…]
Did you ever wonder if the God of the bible is simply man’s attempt to fathom God? And that God is actually unfathomable? How often do we, as humans, try to define something so that we can understand it and teach that understanding to others. But the problem is … we are such limited beings[…]
How often do we feel at the mercy of life itself? How often do we feel powerless to create the life we really want? How often do we feel we have no value in this world? Stop right there. Look around you. At everything. Everything that you see, including yourself, your clothes, your shoes, it[…]
2023 … Thank you for everything … for the good, the bad, the ugly, the sweet, the sour. I look at the world at the end of this year … and it is a far far different world than it was at the beginning of the year. It is a far worse world. It is[…]
Don’t be an arsehole! It could be the most divine advice ever given! Don’t Be an Arsehole! Seriously. In a world where kindness is not just needed, but is most needed by YOU, FOR YOU! Yes, you read that right. YOU need the kindness. Think about that … think about the times when someone has[…]
What is important, however, is how we deal with each and every one of the situations that arises. We can compare how we deal with it to how we dealt with it 6 months ago—heck, possibly even three months ago—and see either progress, or stagnancy. Hopefully you are seeing progress! This, so far, has been[…]
Here’s the thing … Every time you hear that ‘energies are coming from space to help’ what is your response? If it is “Great, then it’s all going to be fixed, everything is going to be taken care of” along with the feeling that “I don’t have to do anything”, then we have a big[…]
Do not let yesterday’s disharmonyDisturb today’s peace. It is a simple quote, but a powerful one to move forth with. How often do you wake up still obsessing over what happened the previous day, or days? How often are you not able to let go of it? How often are you actually chained to that[…]
As we take these steps through the last days of 2022 there will be many who have had a tough year (and I certainly don’t want to talk about it here), but within every single moment is an opportunity. If our spiritual foundations are strong, if they are genuine, if we have walked our talk,[…]
Let me start an August Attitude of Appreciation. In August … look for things to appreciate, do not look for things to complain about. Post things on facebook and social media that are appreciative, not critical, nor complaining. Smile more often. Laugh. Look at all of the things in your life to appreciate, and don’t[…]
Sometimes it is so confusing. People talk about ‘there is only now’ there is only this moment. And that is absolutely true. There is only this moment. But then people also talk about ‘the new earth’ and ‘forget trying to awaken people, it is time to call in the lions’, and ‘the new humans’, ‘the new[…]
There are days when I wonder if people will begin to learn that it is okay to allow another person their own opinion, their own view on life. I wonder if people will be able to accept that we can be all living in different realities, and whilst your reality is true and real for[…]
I was walking Axel this morning, and I saw a man walking into the gym with his gym back slung over his shoulder. It made me think … So often we go to the gym, exercise, get the body fit, and we might add a healthy diet to that, eating well, making sure we get[…]
Those desperate for power are fearful of having no power, and so, they act on that fear. Often a bully. Then there are people who are afraid because they do not know what is happening, do not know what is going on, and they feel powerless and afraid, and so they act on that fear.[…]
Sometimes an understanding comes out of nowhere, sometimes out of what we have been worrying about or confused about, sometimes out of something we are frustrated about. This understanding that I had—an epiphany if you life—came out of concern from what a person told me. I knew he was wrong, but I did not understand[…]
My perspective–and this is a SPIRITUAL perspective. Never before in this era have I witnessed so many opportunities for growth. You see … every time we have a reaction to something, that is an opportunity to ask ‘Oh, that’s interesting, what is that reaction all about?’ and thus we have an opportunity to grow. Many[…]
As our vibration rises higher and higher, we access greater and greater Universal Knowledge … we access deeper understanding … we access more of the God Mind. As we journey through life, we have endless opportunities to raise our vibration, through understanding our reactions to many stimuli, and also through witnessing other people’s reactions. All[…]
Too much talk in the spiritual community hints that there are global changes, that you will magically move to a higher dimension … this, naturally, tells you that it will happen and that you do not need to do anything. So, what do you do? Nothing? Through doing nothing does your vibration rise? No. Through[…]
I walk my dog Axel every morning, and I rejoice at the beautiful gardens that I see along my way, and feel sad when I see neglected gardens and neglected properties. I realised something new today … when I rejoice at the beautiful gardens and properties I walk past it is not just that they[…]
Be the change you want to see in the world. If you want a peaceful world, be peaceful.If you want a loving world, be loving.If you want a calm world, be calm.If you want a kind world, be kind.And do these things regardless of anyone elseRegardless of what the rest of the world is doing.[…]
I was thinking about this all as I passed a school where they had chopped the trees down and only stumps remain, and I thought about the rest of the world … If we knew our inter-connectedness we would understand the balance, the connectedness, the beauty of it all. (Will that school wonder why the[…]
In our socially conditioned desire to complain and criticise, to focus on the negative, to embrace that which media serves us … we fail, repeatedly, to accept that the power of our thoughts and focus has a direct impact on the world. Our dominant thoughts have a direct impact on our day. If we are[…]
Your journey is yours. My journey is mine. I cannot walk yours. You cannot walk mine. Each is unique. And yet, how often do we look upon the life of another and think we know best, think we know what they should do? We are not meant to walk the same journey. We are not[…]
I do not own this house I live in. We are consciousness, sharing our time together. We take care of each other. I do not own my dog companion who lives with me. He is his own being. We are each consciousness. We are companions who enjoy our time together, cherish each other, take care[…]
I have great concern over the responsibility we take for the power of our thoughts. An acquaintance told me something that ‘spirit’ had told him would happen, and that Covid had merely been the minor event and that far worse was to come. Initially I felt fear … and then I began to understand and[…]
I have been thinking about this a great deal, struggling with it, but as my old friend, Almora would say, you cannot unknow what you now know … and I cannot unknow it. I cannot unknow that so long as I judge another, I am ruled by my ego and not my soul, that when[…]
Time …. It takes time for things to truly develop. Axel has been with me for a year and a half, and only in the last month have I notice that our bond has shifted into one of ease, flow and a new level of communication. Sometimes I even know what he is thinking. I[…]
I realise now, in looking back at 2020, that the insight I thought I had as to the meaning and potential of 2020, was for me alone. Any insight I might gain can only ever be from the perspective of my own energy, my own vibration, my own journey. It must have a reference point,[…]
As a writer … I have to write, or I do not feel satisfied, I do not feel I have engaged all parts of me in a day. For me, writing is my way of being … Writing is my Way … my Way to understanding, to clarity, to communication with the Divine. In oneness,[…]
I get it now … where once this was not my truth, as my understanding has expanded (as my vibration has risen) so has my truth changed and evolved into a deeper understanding of life and the world. For quite some time I had ‘bought in’ to the belief that the world around me was[…]
I ate those three slices of white bread because they tasted good, I will get back to eating healthy tomorrow. And the next day the same thing happens. Before I know it my weight has creeped up, I don’t feel so at ease in my clothes. I get impatient, intolerant … and I justify it.[…]
As I biked across the Port Hills, from Sumner to Cashmere, I looked at the rock that pushes through the dirt and grass, and I knew ‘The Sacredness is Rising’. I knew that today, for some reason, these rocks were more sacred. All of it was more sacred. Between one day and the next? Yes.[…]
There is chaos in the street with road works. There is chaos around the building I work in. And in all of this chaos, and noise, and shaking, and dirt … it has been so damn challenging to stay in a state of calm. In fact … I failed completely. I reached breaking point not[…]
I observe myself daily … In fact, I observe myself as often as I can. When walking my dog, Axel, I observe how I am feeling. Am I calm, am I getting irritated because he is pulling on the lead? Oh … I am feeling irritated. Mmmm, how can I best handle this? Be calm,[…]
We are not powerless in this world. Our very thoughts are a vibration that travels far. If we all combined thoughts of peace, we would have peace in an instant. However, humankind are all at different vibrations, and so we are all very different beings. That is why it is up to those who comprehend[…]
I have learnt a lot about myself lately. I always look at my responses to life, to people, to situations, and see what I can learn. Was I aggressive? Was that ego? Was I annoyed? Was I irritated in my response? Was I impatient? Was I calm? Did I handle that with peace and grace?[…]
The only thing we can take with us out of this lifetime, is the evolution of our Soul. We take the progress, the learning, the experiences. We cannot take the money we earned, saved, stole. We cannot take the fancy house, or houses. We cannot take the fine cars, the boat, the jewellery, the fancy[…]
I do not think any of us could have imagined what 2020 would bring. Yet, here we are, in a global situation that is almost surreal, almost unbelievable. Amidst all chaos, however, there are always gems to find, always opportunities to embrace. However, I see many people looking to various theories, and I hear some[…]
I have not written about Axel lately, so I thought it was time for an update … I was walking him the other day, (early while everyone else in the neighbourhood was still asleep), and I thought about our journey … There were times, in those early weeks and months when I felt hopelessly out[…]
My crisis of faith. As a child I went to church, but church never brought me close to God. I started a spiritual journey as an adult, and that did bring me closer to God. The journey that churches were so against seemed to be doing what the church could not. But … even after[…]
People talk of visualising the ‘new earth’ … and I admit that I struggle with this. Not the visualising, but rather the whole concept. Why? Because I look at it from a different perspective. In visualising something, we create a detailed picture and we cling to it. We see it in our minds every day,[…]
Today is day 6 of self-isolation … And I will mark it as the day I found my groove, my flow. Yes, it took me this long. Yesterday I found that social media was leaving me a little overwhelmed. So many people trying to help others, to support others, there were live videos, and recorded[…]
There is so much I wanted to write … and it all seems trivial and weak and pointless. I struggle to find anything meaningful to say … New Zealand is in lock down. Many countries are in lock down (those that aren’t should be!). It’s surreal. It’s huge. It’s massive. What can I say that[…]
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Animals come with gifts that, when we open our heart to them, will support us in going higher in our own spiritual expansion. A cat or a dog, indeed any animal, is not a commodity to be bought and sold (like a slave), nor is it[…]
Day one of 2020. Where do I see myself proceeding this year? Well … the journey already began about Christmas time … the inner shifts began to flow, the ease of living in a higher vibrational state became easier . Who would have thought that setting a simple one week challenge, to be in the[…]
2020 – What does it hold? It is not a generic year, not a ‘one size fits all’ year … 2020 is unique. Where you flow, depends on your frequency and your focus … and we are all unique … Like I said … it is not a ‘one size fits all’ kind of year.[…]
I am reading ‘Delphi’ … And it has made me aware of a new viewpoint … perhaps the only correct one … Animals are not here to serve us. They have their own role, their own purpose. A Burro does not want to spend its life carrying our luggage. A cat brings elegance and grace[…]
Here’s the thing … I am pretty sure that we have got everything all wrong. People talk about ‘your mission’ in this life. I can see, pretty clearly, that our mission is to put back into balance what we took out of balance. There was a time of balance, when man and women were equal.[…]
One day you make progress, and you have a good ten metres when your dog walks with the leash loose! No pulling! Loose leash walking. Hooray!!! Two days later, he loses the plot when he sees another dog, and there is no escape from the situation! Once we are able to move on, he won’t[…]
I read something … It was along the lines of ‘Happy people live in a happy world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.’ Okay, so obviously was can’t use this to refer to war zones around the world, so let me be clear that we are talking about our own personal worlds[…]
Today Axel and I went for a walk in a wide open space in the city. On the 5 metre lead Axel was having a great time! He could head off there and sniff, and then over there, and then back to me, and then over there, and here, and there again. We even had[…]
What have I learnt from Axel? I have learnt the struggle of ‘How do I communicate with my dog?’ He lost the plot every time he saw another dog. I didn’t know what to do, and felt completely out of my depth. What had I taken on when I adopted this two and a half[…]
What do I do when I feel overwhelmed? I stop. And I admit that it has taken me while to get to this place of understanding myself. My previous pattern: I react. Then over 24 hours or more, I think, and consider, and find a course of action, or a solution (one that is far[…]
Kindness is not a difficult thing. Kindness is a quality that lives in the hearts of all of us. Many have, in their childhoods, received the opposite, and so the quality of kindness has rarely been shown to them, they have rarely had the chance to feel its residence within them, that facet that one[…]
How do we keep in alignment when all around us seems very out of alignment I wish there was an easy, and respectful answer to that … but the fact is that after the terrorist shooting in Christchurch, if I were to say, just choose to be in alignment, focus on things to appreciate, that[…]
PTSD If you saw a line of ten people on the street, you would not be able to tell which, if any had PTSD. It is invisible, and insidious. It does not hit and then go away, it is there 24 hours a day. It can be caused by war trauma, sexual harassment, sexual assault,[…]
We have lost our sense ‘village’. There was a time when we lived in small villages, and supported each other, took care of each other, shared with each other. And now it is selfishness self focus take as much as I can get for myself I don’t want to get involved oh that is uncomfortable[…]
Divine origins. Many people talk about their star origins, and I sometimes think it is because we are so desperate to find where we are from and where we belong, so desperate for a sense of family, of place, of belonging. I was talking with a friend, and I said that I don’t know where[…]
Love is the greatest energy, it is the alchemical energy. Love changes things, it heals, opens up, and nourishes. So how is it that so often you allow fear to rule you, rather than letting love fill you? Trace it all the way back, and you will likely find an incident in which you did[…]
A cat on a ship is not a new thing. There have been cats on ships since Egyptian times. They were considered to bring good luck, as well as being very good at keeping the mice down! And so, the story of the black cat on the Fairway, discovered two weeks into the voyage from[…]
The greatest gift we can give this world, is to make our journey through life as beautiful as we can … from the inside! The more beautiful our heart, our love, our gentleness, our compassion, our kindness, our warmth, the more beautiful the energy with which we touch this world. Yes, there are people who[…]
I have observed many people, listened to many people, counselled many people, and worked with many people one on one. To do what? To help them create a happier, simpler life. How do we do that? We begin to look at what it is in our life that makes us angry, annoyed, resentful, hurt. We[…]
In opening to the journey ahead, we are best served if we leave the old journey behind. This is not to say that what happened to us is irrelevant, it is to say that, so often we allow ourselves to be chained to the past. And that means we cannot move forward. And yet, we[…]
Our words have the power to heal, to comfort, and also to hurt. Every word that we utter comes with two sounds, which are in effect frequencies, so we have the frequency of the sound of the words themselves, and we have the sound of the frequency of emotion, or energy, that is experienced as[…]
We are bound and enslaved by the theory that we do not have access to all that we require in order to be all that we are. And yet, at the same time, we are told that: everything already exists within us. The truth … repeated over and over through all the ages of time[…]
I don’t let people see when I am struggling. Why? Because it is the same as with animals, injuries makes us vulnerable to attack, and so we do not show we are injured. It is, perhaps, a primal instinct within us, a self-preservation thing. Little Panther, 5 month old kitten, walked into our lives—wandered in[…]
I don’t claim to have all the answers. All I do know is that we are all on our own uniquely individual journeys. There is no single pathway. How can there be when we are all so different. But we take from here and there, bits of understanding and guidance, and insight, and we navigate[…]
It is time. It is time to remember who and what we are. We are not animals down here in the mud. And yet, that is how we live and act, and breathe and think, as if we are animals struggling to survive. And yet, we are sad, and lonely, and lost, and fearful.[…]
It is a month since we laid my Dad’s body to rest. For 55 years he was my constant. Not a moment of my life was lived without his presence in this world … and I still find it hard to comprehend that his physical presence in this world has ended. I was holding[…]
2017 Wow … that was quite a year!!! Am I sorry to see it end? Am I ready to kick it’s ass out the door? No … I have learnt so much about myself this year, and grown so much. There have been high points and low points, but it has, in all, been a[…]
2018 is the year of results. So, whatever you set in motion … the results will play out in 2018 For those who set negative things in motion, the results will play out. For those who set positive things in motion, the results will play out. For those who took steps of action, those will[…]
Today is the 16th October. My Mum’s birthday. She would have been 78 years old. But, she passed away in 1996, at the age of 57 from cancer. I was 33 when she died, and I am now 54 years old … and very much aware of my own mortality. In fact, as I entered[…]
I was thinking about the wonderful people that have come and gone from my life, and I felt a confusing sadness at those who had left, and it was because I knew my understanding was not right. A whole different understanding, and a beautiful image arose. I guess the fact was I felt that to[…]
To love is a simple thing, yet so often it comes with ties, hooks, demands, expectations. It can be suffocating instead of freeing. But, I want to say: Give love a chance. Don’t be scared of love. I know that is an easy thing to say, because I know so many people have been hurt,[…]
What I am aware of … there is so much false information being fed to humanity. I am not talking about politics and business, I am talking about the spiritual stuff. What I am seeing and reading is that an awful lot of information is coming through, and a lot of special dates have been[…]
Why, so often, do we feel unworthy of love? Why, so often, when something amazing comes along, do we buy into ‘its too good to be true, and I know its not going to last’? Why do we buy into, ‘this is too good, and I don’t deserve it’? We do we find it so[…]
Have you ever noticed that when you are in a very good space, happy, filled with love, that life flows so much more smoothly? That good things keep happening? Have you ever noticed that when you are not in a good space, when you are angry, highly critical, bitter and resentful, that stuff keeps coming[…]
It is in the connection with all that is, that I found the simplicity of existence. We make it so hard. We decide ‘we are here for this experience, we are here for that experience, we are here for this purpose, that purpose, we have this mission, that mission’. Once it meant so much to[…]
There is no veil. A misconception woven upon humanity … that a veil has fallen. In truth … there is no veil. There is only belief of a veil. In truth … you ‘are’. Here, in this moment, all that separates you from your Infinite Self is an illusion of the veil … a lie[…]
Within myself there is a key … it resides in a simple place. It resides within my heart. And when I pick that key up and open the door to my Self, to my Soul, the first step is taken upon a journey of knowing who I am. I have run in circles for years,[…]
A tiny Divine Spark has created the most beautiful, and complicated, cosmos. A tiny Divine Spark has created chaos and order. A tiny Divine Spark has created joy and grief. It was not created by the Original Source, by the Universal Consciousness of I AM … It was created by the sparks. It was created[…]
All of the searching, all of the seeking, was to find one thing: me, amidst the noise of my own life. I wanted to know me. I wanted to be me. I wanted to stop running around searching, and I wanted to find me. I found me amidst the stillness and the silence. I found[…]
People say we are made up of the dark and the light. People say we must embrace both sides, and that to be whole, we cannot be just one, to be balanced we must be both. Tell me … if you set a bright light down in an empty dark room, could that light create[…]
I said to someone, about 6 weeks ago ‘I just can’t find the ground’. And I meant it. I had been through so many life changes, and I couldn’t find any ground beneath my feet—I don’t mean literally! I know what you’re thinking “Were you needing to ‘ground’, Robyn?” Answer: “Yes!” I was certainly not[…]
Sometimes our journey changes … we move from seeking outwards to seeking inwards. For me this began (a few years back) after I had completed a spiritual weekend. I had reached a point where it felt as if my Soul was crying out to be free. It’s not that I was not free, but rather[…]
Humankind On the treadmill Round and round Lifetimes Again, and again, and again Karma Payback Gain Loss Trapped On the treadmill Round and round Lifetimes Again, and again, and again Humankind trapped Within the illusion The illusion of separation Universal oneness Forgotten Humankind trapped Within the illusion The illusion of needing to learn Universal knowing[…]
Life presents many opportunities to us, and some of them we turn down out of fear, fear of failure, fear of being hurt. Fear stops us dead in our tracks. Fear keeps us trapped and limited, safe in the confines of the known. What I have come to understand lately is, sometimes there are things[…]
In words, I find myself. Why? How? I told a person once that ‘I am a Communicator’, and I did not mean that I like to talk talk talk (even though I am well known for it), rather that I am a cosmic communicator from the vast expanse of myself. Since childhood I have loved[…]
Though we may often see the beauty of this world, there is also much to see that is not beautiful Though we may often feel the joy of this world, there is also much to feel that is not joyful Though we may often hear the beautiful sounds of this world, there is also much[…]
Change is inevitable. In fact, the only constant (aside from death and taxes!) is ‘change’. I talked previously about how gut-churningly scary it can all be when we are in the midst of it. What I want to share with you now is how, when you reach that most terrifying part, when you expected to[…]
Change is not always easy… It can feel as if we are being demolished on the inside, ready for renovation. Sometimes in the midst of making a change that we know is right, fear can well up inside us so powerfully that we can barely breathe. Our heart aches, our sternum aches, our guts aches[…]
Two days a week I work in a metaphysical shop, and yesterday a man came in to buy a gay pride necklace and a gay pride ring. He was in his fifties, and was so upset by the Orlando shootings that he wanted to do something, anything … and for him, it was to[…]
