Soul Lights

A respondent to a recent newsletter wrote: “I had a light bulb moment when I read “everything was already in existence. It was simply waiting for me to uncover it”…… I’ve lost my way Les. I’m IN THE WAY of allowing “everything” to come into fruition. Instead I work tirelessly struggling to manipulate my world!

What does success mean to you? For some people it may mean gaining a certain title or position in a business. For others it might mean buying a house or a boat or a particular car. For still others it might mean being accepted as a member of a particular club or organisation or fraternity.

I received an email which said: “You asked for suggestions about what your newsletters might include and I’d be interested in your views about the soul’s journey when we die and its connection with spirituality.  I have my understanding, however, I’d love to hear your version; and seeing there appears to be so much grieving

Many of us start a meditation practice but find it either boring, tedious, too complicated or simply a time-waster. So we give it up and return to the hurly burly of reactive brain-work. Six months’ down the track we wonder where our peace and delight in the everyday has gone…….and we yearn for the stillness,

Welcome to childhood. Some of us mistakenly believe we have broken free of childhood behaviours, attitudes and characteristics and somehow morphed into a different kind of creature commonly known as an ‘adult’. Many of us attribute higher levels of development and intrinsic value to this supposedly ‘advanced’ and somehow ‘superior’ level of species development. I

I suggested a short time ago that you “hold onto your fork” because “the best was yet to come…..”. But I also suggest that you hold onto your knife….. I am reminded of the young girl who was busy painting a picture. Her teacher asked her “What are you painting?” She answered without hesitation “A

I have supported many people through their healing journeys. One of the first taught me about the Power Of Words. It happened over 35 years ago when John lived at Emu Plains in Western Sydney….. He suffered from a cancerous growth visible from his jaw to his neck which had spread through his body. He

Easter is upon us. The only faith I have “belonged to” in the last fifty years is my own. In that time I have been neither Christian, Jew, Buddhist nor Hindu. So, for me, Easter is either an ancient tale, remembered each year by those who honour the beautiful Spiritual Teacher it relates to –

I mentioned recently that when I was a homeless teenager on the streets of ‘the Cross’ I carried what seemed like the very worst of all burdens: I saw myself as grossly disfigured and ugly due to the large tumours which covered my body….. I also doubted if I was worthwhile….if my life was worth

Most of us focus on the small things that simply disappear from importance before the week is out. In the meantime because we focus on them their importance expands and takes up much of our time and attention. Unfortunately, there are no refunds for wasted time so we end up achieving far less than we

Thirty years ago I ran a weekend spiritual workshop at Kingaroy. About 36 eager people turned up. On the way to Kingaroy early morning I came across a kangaroo that had been hit by a car. It lay dead on the road, still warm. I stopped the car and checked it for any joeys –

Dearest Friends, A Thousand thanks for your friendship, your love  and support. There is a growing pandemic spreading across the entire world. Oddly enough, it’s nothing new. And it has nothing to do with Covid or any other virus. It’s just that there’s a whole lot more of us sharing the planet. So it’s so

Jean Houston, the famous human potential movement “guru” tells the story of when she was very young getting the opportunity to meet the great Albert Einstein at his house on the Princeton University campus. A classmate asked him: “How can we get to be as smart as you?” He said “Read fairy tales,” which made

I am reminded of the young lady who had terminal cancer. Elizabeth wanted to carefully script and plan her final farewell. Flowers, prayers, songs, speakers – she arranged the entire thing, well in advance. She requested that she have an open casket at the funeral. And – surprising the organizer – she asked that a

Congratulations! You are connected to the network! Actually, we all are….. But not all of us realize it. Do you remember when you thought of a friend and they called you on the phone just minutes later? Or the time you thought of someone and almost immediately they physically knocked on the front door? Or

Several people have asked me to address these issues…so here goes! Clearly, having faith and trust in human beings is risky. They turn. They change. Circumstances cause alterations and modifications. Every kind of relationship is subject to adjustment, like it or not. So faith and trust in human beings and their institutions is always subject

I titled my last book so badly that sales have nose-dived! How lucky am I…….failing at things can be such a wonderful teacher! (I am choosing to simply re-title it and some others at the same time). I know many people who get really disappointed (and even angry) when things go every way except the

Have you ever watched rain running down the window? Each drop seems to be competing with the next to get to the bottom first….your mind joins in the race. You take sides, hoping your chosen rain drop gets there before the others….. It’s called projection. You project your identity onto the raindrops. You project your

There was an old man who used to go to the nursing home religiously every day around breakfast time to see his wife. He’d stay half the morning, then come back later in the day to see her again. He never missed a day. And this was particularly remarkable because his wife had advanced dementia
