Soul Lights

Last week I asked you to estimate – each day for a week – how much of the time you are happy with your life – and how much of the time you are unhappy/dissatisfied. Readers have replied with some amazing answers. Unhappy most of the time won out hands-down….. One respondent said he was

How happy are you right now? How happy have you been today? Psychologists estimate that only 20% of people are happy more than they are sad or angry or unfulfilled or disappointed. 80% don’t seem to achieve enough good experiences to make life significantly delightful. And a whopping 25% – one quarter of all people

HAPPY NEW YEAR……..sometime this year! Many blessings to you for a happy new Year! Of course, if you’re in Vietnam, Korea or China you’ll have to wait until until around February 16th to celebrate. Mongolians will wait a tad longer……February 26th. For Iranians, the new Year arrives March 20th. In most of India (and for

Christ’s Mass is on the way. This has nothing at all to do with Santa Claus, reindeer, wrapped presents, fir trees, snow, mistletoe, coloured baubles, mulled wine, legs of pig, fruit pudding, barbecues or party hats. Now before you brand me the reincarnated Grinch, let me finish. Business may quite intelligently promote it as such

Let me quickly update you…… *The developing world pays back on average $130 for every $100 it receives in aid grants! The poorest countries who have paid back their debts still owe the wealthy countries some $523 billion in interest! *When Zimbabwe crashed economically it printed a 100 trillion dollar bill (that’s 14 zeros after

Groundhog Day is celebrated on 2nd February in the USA. It’s supposedly the day that groundhogs come out of hibernation and peek out to see if it’s Spring yet. If it’s not, they return to their burrow for another six weeks or so of slumber….. In the 1993 movie Bill Murray relives the same day

Very often at the end of retreats someone mentions “so you’ve got next week off?” It’s said with a dreamy look as if to suggest we’ll be spending the week sitting on the grass meditating and chanting from sunup to sundown…… Actually we don’t. That’s not really living a spiritual life. To live a truly

Last week Trudi and I were in the Cairns hinterland sharing with some forty beautiful and caring fellow seekers. One story I shared goes back almost forty years. I had made the decision to focus my energy fully on spiritual matters. This included seminars, workshops, retreats, spiritual church services, private channelling and private one-on-one sessions

This week I offer you my fourth article in my current series of deeper spiritual topics. (These form part of my 10th spiritual book, ‘Living The Sacred Life”, due out shortly). This is Part 1 of…….. THE FLOW OF LIFE “The Flow of Life is to care and share together.” The speaker seemed so very

This week I offer you my third article in my current series of deeper spiritual topics. (These form part of my 10th spiritual book, ‘Living The Sacred Life”, due out shortly). THE PROMISE OF LIFE The Promise of Life is that we are always safe. Most of humanity seriously doubts this promise and instead thinks

The truth of Life is that all is actually One. When I say “all” I don’t just mean that all “human beings” are part of something much bigger called “humanity” – but rather we acknowledge that everything at its very core is part of the same “stuff”. This Oneness isn’t limited to things we think

The ultimate purpose of  life at our current level is to live it fully, without regrets. Now don’t immediately despair – none of us had made it that far yet……but I believe that’s where you and I are heading. And if we want to get anywhere it’s always a good idea to know where we’re

Dear Friends, Everyone on this planet has problems. Take an actual day in my personal life as a real example……. I was woken up well before sunrise by someone wanting help with depression. After half an hour or so I was able to put the phone down and make a coffee. Then I went to

Once upon a time, not so long ago, one day a week was put aside for the sacred. For some it was Friday, for others Saturday, for many Sunday. But it was put aside. Every week. Unless it was an emergency, you didn’t work. You certainly didn’t go shopping, to the races, the footie or

Sometimes spiritual teachers and guides give the impression they have superbly succeeded in every area of their life whilst you and I are still struggling to move forward and get a handle on things. In their photos and videos and books they seem so relaxed and overflowing with peace. They give the impression they’re in

My dear friends, Thanks to everyone who has ordered a copy of my new book “One Year With Gott”. They’re on their way from the US to you now. For those that are still thinking about buying a copy, here’s a short chapter to whet your appetite……. February 3rd Gott Speaks The next day came

My dear friends, The Easter season has come; and is now going…… During it we saw the Mother Of All Bombs (a 22,600 lbs warhead) dropped on the afghan countryside; 59 Tomahawk (1,000lb) missiles exploded in Syrian built up areas, some 3,000 people saved from drowning whilst trying to cross the Mediterranean sea to escape

After all, it celebrates a terrible injustice! In olden times, ‘goode’ used to mean ‘holy’ or ‘sacred’. Even today in many countries the day is called “sacred Friday”. But the church still sticks to the ‘olde ways’ and so it still calls it Good Friday! Sad really as that ‘old word’ simply reflects old thinking…..

In my most recent article the last four words were: Loving Unconditioned Compassion and Kindness. I wonder how many of you realized those four words spelt out L.U.C.K? Two hundred years ago Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States of America, wrote: ‘I’m a great believer in luck: and I find the harder I

We all do it sometime. We blame our partner for this……we blame our children for that….. We blame our parents for the way we were brought up. We blame our workplace for our life. We blame our friends for leading us astray. We blame our government for not doing enough. We blame the taxi driver
