Soul Lights

165 years ago next month Charles Dickens published his famous and once-very popular novel “A Tale Of Two Cities”. It opened with the prophetic words: “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times….” Since then, two terrifying world wars, over 35 other terrible wars, a catastrophic worldwide multi-year depression and seven

Dear Friends, Australians closely reflect the societal norms of the US: 60%  have a chronic disease 42% of middle-aged women report feeling burned out 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness 2 in 5 adults are overweight (1 in 3 are obese! We also closely follow US medical practices so many of us are

I often use the term ‘One-Ness’ and it concerns me that many people have trouble genuinely getting their head around its meaning… Like the term, “God” it means different things to different people. To some it is gibberish, to others visceral and to still others simply outside reality. So please let me help, if I

I often use the term ‘God’ and it concerns me that I rarely explain what I actually mean when I use that word… I realize that it means different things to different people. To some it is childish, to others sacred and to still others it can be quite offensive. So please allow me to

Do you have a bad back ache? Or a bad headache? Maybe a pain in the neck? Arthritis in some joint? Ulcers or bleeding gums? A leg that stops you from running? Or a stiff neck that makes it hard to swivel your head? Everyone of us has issues – they come with living! Whatever

In 1956 Porter Wagoner wrote a very clever poem called “If Jesus Came To Your House”. A few of the lines included: Would you have to change your clothes before you let Him in? Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been? Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you planned to

Dr Dave Eifrig is both an esteemed American physician and a highly regarded stockbroking advisor whose regular advice I respect. This arrived on my desk this morning and I feel its content is so wise, so important and so valuable I wanted to share it with you. Please share it with others you feel might

Dear Friends, I write a great deal regarding human behaviour but at the end of the day I am primarily a Spiritual Teacher, Counsellor and Guide…. It is for this reason that this week I feel Spirit encourages to remind everyone that there is no death. Now…..how do you prove the veracity of such a

Your immediate response is probably: how on earth can suffering possibly ever be a gift??! I believe the answer is that suffering can be used as a gift…. And that’s good news as everybody suffers in one way or another. And there’s lots of ways to suffer: emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, socially, racially….. And we

In the 14th Century a writer wrote “the proof of a pudding is in the eating’. In other words, unless you experience a thing for yourself you cannot be sure. Unless you bite into the pudding how can you know what it tastes like? Others may tell you it’s good, it’s bad, it’s tasty, it’s

Let’s be frank. The world is moving into turmoil – economically and socially. Sadly, it is getting worse and becoming more chaotic. Most of us turn to medications when ill-ness or crises comes. We reach for the pills, the drugs, the drink or the avoidance. We blame it all on ‘them’ and suffer in silence.

I do all I can to stay out of politics. I am a Spiritual Guide. So this is about as political as I get……. Peace is the natural behaviour of every sentient being. Everything else is insanity. That is obvious (and if it isn’t my point is proven). Peace is the only effective, loving, constructive,

Many of us are in remission. Some in remission from cancer. Some in remission from physical pain. Some in remission from emotional trauma. Others have had a debt or a penalty remitted. Or even a jail sentence. In all these cases (and more) the sense of remission is often like a heavy weight that hangs

Welcome to the greatest show on earth! You have a ringside seat – and will also be able to play your part and join in the circus!!!! And what a circus it is! There will unfortunately be very few animal acts as we are removing most of the animals from the planet. Just a few

Someone once wrote: “Humanity is on a journey to allow a greater presence of love in our lives”. Our teachers can arrive at any time…… This is part of my story…..   I once had a very small pet baby piglet. I named her Matilda and called her ‘Tildy’….. Tildy lived with the dogs, slept

Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest people in the world, is reputed to have told this personal story. He had been asked if he knew anyone wealthier than himself – and his answer was spiritually uplifting. “Yes, I know a person who is far wealthier than myself” he replied. One day when he was young

Many of us seem to be having to deal with the recent death of loved ones. Others haven’t yet resolved past deaths that still cause much grief. And some of us are facing the issue of our coming own demise….. Please allow me to offer a healing balm…… I understand man’s desires to avoid death

This week for a change I’d like to mention a few things briefly.……. They are things that have come up in my outbox…… Firstly, there are NO “lost souls” due to suicide. EVER. That’s catholic-developed nonsense. Everyone hurts at some time in their life. Many reach breaking point. Everyone makes mistakes and takes risks that

Many years ago when I first came to Brisbane I thought I “ought” to join a spiritual community. So I took myself by taxi one Monday night to the Boundary Street spiritual church that advertised a meditation circle. It started at 7pm so, being shy, I planned to arrive at 6.55pm. That would avoid me

Dearest Friends, My deepest apologies for the absence of SoulLight over the last month. Trudi and I have been in the midst of complete chaos…..moving home from Gympie Qld to Nambucca Heads, NSW. Every possible thing has gone wrong from phone disconnections to removal truck losses to damages to internet and phone loss to delays
