Soul Lights

This week I offer you the greatest of all honourings: love. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not boast. Love is not proud. Love is not self-seeking. Love is not rude. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love is not angered. Love never delights in evil. Love rejoices in

This week I offer you a Prayer. For me, prayer is the act of giving thanks. It asks for nothing; it gives thanks for everything. It honours All That Is…….. Dearest God, Today I went foraging in the garden of my mind…… and I found so many things I thought I’d lost…… I found my

This week I encourage you to honour Diversity. This means to live with respect for the planet including all its animals and all its peoples. This translates into becoming a trustee for the earth and all its life-forms. For most people on the planet, this is a wild and radical concept!! Business simply treats the

This week I remind you to honour the Path of Eternal Progress. This means to live with total trust in the Universe. And this means to realize that everything happens safely….as is meant.. This can be difficult, especially in those moments when the world seems to be crashing down around our heads…..and we seem to

This week I urge you to genuinely honour the immortality of your soul. In a recent letter to a friend I wrote: “I believe that if we each remain courteous, focussed on our truths, truly loving and generous of spirit we will have played our part in the evolution of consciousness…….”. The heart of that

Last article I suggested that we need to honour the “God Within” ourselves. This week I am suggesting we also honour the “God within” everyone else. In my book “The Return Of The Master” I write “How extraordinarily beautiful would be this world if only Man would follow this rule. This is the Path of

In life we often do things “because it’s the right thing to do”. Or because we think karma will reward us. Or because it’s the law. Or because society says so. In ancient times, religious leaders laid down ‘commandments’ – rules by which they insisted people live. But I believe that many of us have

We’ve all heard that saying before……but it hasn’t stopped many of us acting as if we were. Of course no island is really an island either. It’s just a continuation above sea level of the land below sea level: In truth all lands are a continuation of one another. Put another way, the earth is

Just under 40 years ago I left the rigours of religion behind me and stepped into the then (for me) unknown world of Spirit. For much of the first half of my life I had quoted scripture – and I believed that I believed the quotes I quoted. But I never managed to actually live

Two  articles back I suggested that WE are the active ingredient that swings our personal pendulum one way or other toward success or failure. I said that TRUST above all else in one’s real self, one’s ‘Inner Self’ is the best remedy for all the ills that beset us. But how do we actually achieve

THE CORE ISSUE…. THE ONLY REAL PROBLEM WE HAVE…… In my last article I suggested that TRUST in one’s real self, one’s ‘Inner Self’ is the best remedy for all the ills that beset us. Instead of trusting this doctor or that therapist, this counsellor or that teacher, we need to trust that still, small

WHICH WAY TO GO…..? WHICH CHOICE TO MAKE……? All of us find ourselves in this dilemma sometimes. None of us is immune. It might relate to an illness and its cure; or a family situation and its healing; or a work environment and its options; or money problems and their remedy. In each case, we

Often in life, we find we have more to do than time to do it. That’s when we need to asap!! Sometimes, our troubles seem to overwhelm us. At such times it’s important to asap!! When we (or our friends or family) are sick or hurting it’s definitely time to asap!! And when we feel lost,

Raymond Aaron, a US Retreat Leader tells the story of asking his group what they wanted from his program…..one man said he wanted a million dollars. He had just started a company to harvest stem cells and he wanted to expand his dream. Raymond thought that was a huge goal….but he said nothing. The next

Please excuse the necessary negativity at the start of this message. I think we can all agree the world is, in many ways, going mad. Australia is a microcosmic example of a society that is losing its bearings. The wheels are very definitely falling off the truck…..   We seem to be incapable of simply

Are our minds FULL – or are we mindful? The difference to our life is quite extraordinary! If our mind is full it usually means its cluttered with junk. That junk might be lack of self-worth, acceptance of illness as a fact of life, poor personal boundaries or unhappy relationships with others, etc. And those

Today’s world just gets crazier and crazier…… People strive for bigger houses, better jobs, more money, newer gadgets…… Family life often disintegrates and happiness dissolves in a welter of anxiety, hurt, fear and depression. Society struggles to become ever more productive whilst the individual often feels ever more neglected. Money becomes the new God to

In December I wrote about Shanti Deva and her vivid and accurate memory of a previous incarnation. Like many such cases, the new life repeated both gender and nationality as if the person was trying to continue a previous life……   One of the most extraordinary recorded cases is of Jasbir from Rasulpur in Uttar

Dearest Friends, Now that Santa has returned to the North Pole we can all focus on the next big bash. This is the New Year…. Where I come from this happens every day. Every day, every hour, in fact every moment, is considered another brand new moment in which we can unfold into our True

Dearest Friends, Unfortunately Santa’s Sleigh has been caught up in the refugee debacle and isn’t allowed to travel from Indonesia down to Oz. He’s been threatened with imprisonment on Nauru, Manus or even (worse) Canberra. So he’ll be giving us a miss this year. I apologise on his behalf. We are all just going to
