You are the switch, the current, the light bulb of enlightenment. Yeah, I know, I get a bit preachy and annoyed some times, but hey … I find it really frustrating when people say things that discourage you from taking responsibility for your own path, and imply (if not state outright) that some outside force[…]
Life is complicated. Right? Or is it? So much talk about society programming us from childhood, so much about being forced to be who we are not, so much about fighting to break free of the bonds that prevent us being who we truly are … so much … so much … so much. In[…]
2024 Well … that was quite a year. As I sit here reflecting, I sit here grateful for the multitude of opportunities to grow. Every challenge was like a coin with two sides. Whilst one side might be facing me, I always knew there was the other side just out of view. And so I[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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.[…]
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[…]
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[…]
The truth is always very simple, and yet so are excuses. 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[…]
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[…]
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,[…]
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[…]
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.[…]
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 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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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.[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
Hands up everyone who found May a really really tough month? If I had to use one word to define the month, it might be ‘stormy’. But … the reason things happen, the reason they come up is because we are ready to deal with them. Or, we are ready to support someone else to[…]
It is a simple concept and an undervalued concept. You rush through life so fast that you barely have time to taste the food you eat, or notice that which is around you. What would happen if you slowed down and performed every single act of your day with reverence? You would rise from your[…]
Meeting a person, beginning a new path, opening up to new ventures…it truly is all about timing. When the time is right, it will happen. When you are meant to meet, it will happen. And no sooner. Your impatience, your frustrations, these are merely your Soul feeling that which is coming, that which is in[…]
It is not easy living in the world. You are subject to many things, and you take on board so much that is not who you are, and yet you allow it to define you in so many ways. You are mistreated, and this teaches you to feel valueless. You are hurt, and this teaches[…]
When we are in a space of pain, we see the world through that pain, we respond to the world through that pain. When we are in a state of peace, we see the world through that peace, we respond to the world through that peace. When we are in a state of joy, we[…]
Dreams. Do we dare to admit them, to chase them? Or do we merely take comfort in the idea of the dream? There is nothing wrong with taking comfort in the idea, but why do you do that? Why don’t you pursue the dream? Why don’t you try? Most likely, if you look beneath the[…]
We stay within our comfort zone because it is safe. It asks nothing more of us than what we are comfortable doing or being. We can, quite peacefully, remain living within that comfort zone for the rest of our lives. But, if we desire to grow, to expand, to know ourselves, then there will come[…]
If your thoughts create your world, what world are you creating? If your thoughts create your environment, what environment are you creating? If your thoughts create your day, what kind of day are you creating? There was a time when I did not understand this, and though the concept seemed great, I did not really[…]
It has been an incredible time for me lately. The growing awareness of universal principles of life that have been revealing themselves to me with such clarity. So often I, like many other people, have ‘wanted’ this or that, and have waited for it. I speak of things as simple as being in a state[…]
