Soul Lights

I was writing a chapter for a new book, explaining the fears and problems I remember experiencing during my early life…..   I do hope you’re not feeling sorry for yourself, Les… Certainly not. But I am remembering some uncomfortable events. Yes….in a way you were lucky weren’t you? Lucky to have them or lucky

Dear Friends, I wrote an article for Anzac Day last year – and it’s just as applicable today. One subscriber wrote: ‘I have been hearing lots of people say that they hope the world changes through this situation we currently have. We need to be the ones who change our world, not leaving it for

It was raining so I’d ducked into an historic city church to keep dry. Inside everything was still and silent and pregnant with Spirit…..   Do you feel good in here? I certainly do. I’m glad. You’re meant to. That’s why it was built. What, to make me feel good? To make you feel safe

The man held up his Stop Sign and told me I was going the wrong way……. Sometimes you think like that road sign, don’t you Les? What, that I’m going the wrong way? Certainly. And sometimes you are. Such as just then…. I’m not arguing with you – but could you please get to the

Driving the car home through teeming rain along a dark and lonely unused road one moonless night…..   I hope an alien doesn’t suddenly appear…… Suddenly scared of aliens, are we, Les? Maybe nervous. Isn’t everyone, truly, deep within? Not everyone. Certainly not the life-forms you call aliens. They’re not nervous or scared of themselves

It felt it was my chance to ask a second question. Certain I wasn’t alone……I eagerly started the conversation…..   What do you look like? Ah! A question I cannot answer to your satisfaction!! Why is that? Because you would like a photograph, a picture to hang on your wall….. It might help me to

I was sitting in the Temple, pondering. Somehow I knew I wasn’t alone……so I asked my question…..   Was I a Jew in my last life? You’ve been a Jew in many lives! But then you’ve also been a Christian, a Buddhist, a Taoist, a Sikh and a Moslem! Wow, I’ve covered the options! Yes,

I was sitting at my typewriter when suddenly I received this message, clearly in my head…..No introduction, no possibility to debate or discuss it…..The Voice simply spoke it to me with an obvious intention to have it typed out as the words were spoken…… Why strive to be something you already are, Les? Why not

I was feeding the wild king parrots and thinking about the coming week’s retreat when I clearly heard “the call”….. Stop fighting! What?!?!? Stop fighting! I can hear you planning your coming week as if it were a battle!…. Well, sometimes it seems to be! I just like to be prepared….. What? Prepared for battle?

Are you ready for a third conundrum, Les? I had woken up shortly after dawn and was staring at the ceiling….. If I have to….. Great! What has force – but is powerless? I’m sure you’re about to tell me….. It would be better if you find out for yourself…. How come? Well, whatever I

Are you ready for another conundrum, Les? I had woken up shortly after dawn and was staring at the ceiling….. Now? As good a time as any! Okay….what is it? What exists but isn’t real? Dreams? Good one but we can talk about those another time. That’s not what I had in Mind…. Okay, shoot….

The Dutch visited Australia in 1606 The Spanish visited later that year…. In fact the shipping lanes were crowded with visitors – Chinese, Malaccan, Indian…. 29 different Dutch ships alone visited Australia during the 17th Century. Captain Cook first sighted land in Australia on the 19th April 1770. His crew landed at Botany Bay 29th

Are you ready for a conundrum, Les? I had just arrived home with the shopping….. Right now? Can we wait until the shopping has been put away? Shopping’s a great example….in a way…. Aah….you’re going to advise a particular diet, maybe? Not at all! Eat as much junk as you need to cause as much

I was answering my emails when The Voice next spoke…..   I wonder……are you happy with life, Les? I certainly am – although I’d prefer it if there was no grief, hurt, pain, sickness or even death associated with it…… Don’t you think it would be kind of bland? It might – but it would

Are you excited about Christmas, Les? I was out refreshing the water for the retreat’s miniature horses….. I can take it or leave it. Santa let you down? Santa has never visited. Good gracious…….never? Not that I can remember. But that’s not a complaint because I don’t believe in him. I don’t blame you. He’s

It seemed my turn to start a conversation…….   I love these talks but sometimes you know I still feel alone….. I totally understand….I felt like that once, a long, long time ago, too…….So I did something about it. What? I created the universe. But it just didn’t fulfil Me. How could it not? It

I was watching a program talking about Coronavirus when suddenly I realised I wasn’t alone …..   I’d like to get serious for a moment…… You mean you’re not always? I couldn’t be – otherwise you wouldn’t enjoy your sense of humour. After all, I gave you the ability to recognise and express humour. It

I was working in the garden when The Voice spoke…..   I’d like to speak about The Ordinary…… What did you have in mind? Most of you find the ordinary boring…..when in fact it’s anything but boring….It’s magical, mystical….spiritual. Everything is magical, mystical and spiritual? Everything! Every moment, every action, every thought. What about the

I was feeding the horses when The Voice next spoke…..   Did you remember my first message to you? I certainly did….although after thirty years I realised on a further reading that I hadn’t remembered all of its contents….. What part had you forgotten? The part that mentions how we must “own new understandings in
