Soul Lights

Trudi and I were walking through the orchard the other day when I was reminded of the trust which we had been given. We had been entrusted with a secret. And also with a sacred space. As trustees we ultimately own neither but accept responsibility for the care of both. The secret is that the

The world is a big place. The universe is even bigger. As an example, if the universe was the size of Planet Earth then planet earth would be one billionth the size of a pinhead! That’s around one millionth the size of a grain of sand……or about the size of an atom. Our personal galaxy

Thanks to everyone who felt the urge to respond to my latest article (Vote 1: Sanity). I am sure that humans are AWAKENING to consciousness. That means making up their own minds, not simply functioning from instinctive herd mentality as is still the case with most animals. As humans awake, they express the love and

Some people may find this article (which I originally wrote in 2012) controversial – it may not be what you expect from a spiritual writer. And yet, politics and social comment are just as relevant in spirituality as are discussions regarding personal values and actions. All of life is spiritual. All of life is Spirit,

Last week I took our fifteen guests down to the ocean to feed the wild dolphins, as usual. On the way back to the retreat I stopped at the park overlooking Tin Can Bay for 10 minutes of exercise open-to-the-sky. And then it happened. All fifteen people wanted to go play on the swings and

In my last articles, I wrote about our Real Soul – and I said that our Real Souls are always alive. Because they are alive, we live. It is our Real Soul which is made by, of and in the image of God. Our Real Soul is a perfect image of the Divine. I also

In my last article, I wrote about our Real Soul – and I said that our Real Souls are always alive. Because they are alive, we live. It is our Real Soul which is made by, of and in the image of God. Our Real Soul is a perfect image of the Divine. But we

We each have a Real Soul. This is that shining light which is a perfect aspect of the Divine. Always with us, it watches what we do, records what happens and guides us if we’ll stop and listen to it. It is always safe, always healthy, always happy and always alive, no matter what happens.

In a world where nothing goes perfect for any of us most of the time…..who is running your life? Is it the Real You – or is it your ego? Your genitals? Your bank manager? Your boss? Your church? The law? The in-laws? A medical prescription? Who makes the decisions? Is it the Real You

In this current series I am writing to help us step more confidently into a state of ‘authentic and ethical living’ I believe it is critically important that we consciously honour all the people who have helped us throughout our life to get to where we are right now. This belief is based on that

Last article I asked: “Are you living the life you have chosen – or are you just trying to combat everything the world seems to throw at you?”. I went on to explain that if a thought hurts or limits us we can always choose to have another more helpful thought.  But how exactly do

Are you living the life you have chosen ? Or are you just trying to combat everything the world seems to throw at you? Sometimes I know I find myself on the defensive – but I also realize this brings me no sense of real fulfillment. As we enter 2016 I have therefore chosen to

It’s the male Seahorse which gets pregnant. Isn’t that extraordinary? After Mr & Mrs Seahorse mate – following an eight hour courtship dance in which they change colour – she drops her bundle of fertilized eggs into a pouch on her husband’s stomach. The male then carries the eggs, protecting them until they hatch out

Just as we finish celebrating the birth of love, death ushers in our next challenge … the old year dies and opportunities and possibilities greet us at the doorway to tomorrow … Another year dawns. And yet for this new year to fulfill its promises, death must be our friend. We must be ready –

“And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones the world is so wrong  “wrote John Lennon in his famous song. These days, for many in Australia, Christmas has simply degenerated into a chaotic shopping spree to the blaring sounds of nonsensical winter carols, a fake plastic poplar

So often in our searching for Truth and God we think we have to give up all our material and physical things (and most of our emotional states) in order to find and embrace the Divine Presence. But this is not so! The purpose of the Search is simply to find God within. When we do so

So often in life we hold ourselves back from many of life’s experiences by being afraid of what might happen…… things might not work out…. we might go broke…… it might not last…. it might not be what we want….. there might be something better…… it might hurt….. it might not be what we think……

Last article I spoke about how there’s no escape from yourself. There’s only change. Change from  a hurting, limited ‘Human Doing’ – into a richer, happier and more fulfilled ‘Human Being’. And the only way to achieve that is to embrace the Divine Within. When you do then you find miracles often happen! Like the

A traveler came to a city gate and asked the gate-keeper “What’s it like to live in this city?”. “What’s it like where you come from?” answered the gate-keeper. “Pretty nasty actually. Not much fun and too much work”. “Pretty much like that here” replied the gate-keeper. So the traveler turned away to seek elsewhere to

Understanding #6- There is no separate ‘me’ There is no separate ‘me’ There is only God ““ God being ‘me’, God being ‘you’. (If you don’t like the word “God” replace it with Immortal Life, Infinite Love, Spirit, Divine Presence, the Eternal Light, All That Is, The ‘I Am’ or one of the Eternal Light,
