Soul Lights

When we focus on a thing we bring it – and everything that relates to it (past and present) – forward  for attention via our brain’s Reticular Activating System. These events include such things as our hurts, pains, past losses, past disappointments, griefs, mistakes and suchlike. However, the good news is that it also includes

Honouring one’s mother should be as obvious as breathing. This weekend many people go one step further; so I am delighted to bring you a real-life story from a beautiful subscriber. Enjoy……..   About 12 years ago when Mother’s Day came around I had nobody to give an actual card to because both my husband’s

Is Spiritual ‘Healing’ for real – or is it just a fad and nonsense? Ask a surgeon and you’ll usually get one answer: ask a spiritual ‘healer’ and you’ll probably get a totally different answer…. So which one is  correct? At the National Research Institute of Chinese Medicine in Taiwan a Qigong Master took just

I met a lady many years ago who, unknown to me, badly needed money. She placed a table outside her yard and displayed a great number of books for sale at bargain prices. Books are a passion of mine so I eagerly viewed her collection and bought several. Then a neighbour told me of her

It has been pointed out to me that the example I recently gave of Jesus meeting the blind man resulted in the blind man regaining his sight. Are such “miracles” available today? My answer is a definite ‘YES”. In the Bible, Jesus is reported to have totally “healed” over sixty people of leprosy, paralysis, sickness,

IMPERFECT IS PERFECTLY OK!! This Easter I’d like to address two issues that may seem vastly different but at a deeper level are closely related…. There were once two frogs who lived beside a lagoon in the countryside. They were Mabel and Abel. Mabel was partially blind, making it hard for her to see. She

I was reminded this week of another story I told readers over 20 years ago. It’s worth repeating, I’m sure……   Eagles don’t climb trees to build their nests at the very top. They fly there. But eagles don’t automatically like great heights…… If they are forcibly grounded as chicks they happily fly low and

A reader asked me: what can I do to overcome my debilitating ailments? This is my answer….. Jesus was asked the same thing: in John 9 “…… as Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. ‘Master, whose sin caused this man’s blindness?’ asked the disciples, ‘his own or his

Years ago I heard about a man who collapsed and was taken to hospital. His condition deteriorated and so he was hooked up to quite a number of tubes and hoses, which took recordings of his condition or helped him to breathe. He wasn’t expected to live and so the local priest was called. The

I was reminded this week of a story I told readers over 10 years ago. It’s worth repeating, I think. In 1766, the Burmese army attacked Thailand, wreaking chaos and destruction wherever they went. Temples were destroyed, homes burnt to the ground and many people massacred. Everything of value that could be looted was taken.

As small children you and I are simply “here, now”. We don’t inquire as to where we were before or worry about where we’re headed. We simply are. We’re simply here. We eat, drink, cry, laugh, sleep, play unaware of any separation between ourselves and the world around us. Our innocence reflects the Truth of

IN CASE MY ARTICLES ARE STARTING TO BORE YOU…… A healer put a sign up outside his house which read: Healings: Just $20 – $100 refund if I fail. A solicitor saw the sign and tried to be clever. He complained about having a total lack of taste. So the healer picked up a jar

This Week………. THE VALUE OF REGULAR MEDITATION & PRAYER “The long term studies of spiritual practices such as meditation and prayer have increasingly shown that the brain can change over time. Individuals who practice prayer and meditation over many years have been found to have thicker and more active frontal lobes than non-practitioners”. (adapted from

Dear Friends, WHAT ACTUALLY ARE YOU!?!?! Have you ever considered what you actually are? Are you primarily a body with a brain? (When the body stops the brain does too). Or maybe simply a brain operating through a body? (When the brain stops the body does too). When you look at your naked self do

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

This Week………. Lao-Tzu once wrote….. We shape clay to make a pot. But without the emptiness inside what use would it be? We create doors and windows to make a room. But only the space inside makes it useful. Living beings create many things – jobs, houses, cars, furniture, nations, gardens, clubs, songs, books, plays,

Dear Friends, Do you think that the humble caterpillar ever sees itself as a butterfly? (There it is wandering along the branch of a shrub singing to itself “Me oh my! Soon I’ll be a butterfly!”……). No. It simply focuses on being what it is right now. And that is a caterpillar. Not a caterpillar

Dear Friends, Exactly 100 years ago AA Milne wrote his famous children’s book. In it Piglet asks Winnie : “How do you spell L-O-V-E?” And Pooh replies: “You don’t spell it – you feel it!” Ah!! There’s the problem, eh?! Most of us know how to spell it – our problems often arise because we

Dear Friends, Below is the declaration a group of spiritual teachers (myself included) propose for the Peoples of Planet Earth at this tumultuous time….. We call upon all people of conscience, across every culture, faith and nation, to unite for the common good so that we may ensure a sustainable, flourishing future for all. If

Dear Friends, I have written a regular self-realisation column for over 33 years now; and have been publicly “connected” to a non-human “guide” (called Mordechai) for well over 40 years. In that time I have constantly harped-on about us “being Love”. Indeed, my favourite saying (which I have on my t-shirts) is : Love is
