Soul Lights

Dear Friends, So many friends have requested more interactive articles that I have agreed to offer my ‘talks’ not only in print but now in video also. Now you can see me and hear me as well – hopefully a satisfying alternative to simply reading my words! To establish this new approach, I will be

A few weeks ago I shared with you my Prayer of Gratitude – and many of you wrote to tell me how powerful you felt it was as a technique for embracing one’s own inner greatness and authenticity. Using that prayer regularly will greatly increase its power – and its positive effect upon our individual

Life is a mystery of boundless light far beyond our ability to comprehend or discern. We must accept it, with faith, just as we are. And to do so we must accept it from our human perspective, from the perspective of inter-relational consciousness which is the bedrock of our being. In other words, our existence

This week I’d like to share an article from a fellow Spiritual Teacher, Madisyn from the US … Going on retreat is a time to cocoon so that we may emerge ready to return to our lives with a new perspective. Occasionally, we need to pause – and step away from the hustle and bustle

Most of us live on the Isle of BE HAPPY WHEN. Isle be happy when I win the lottery. Isle be happy when we have children. Isle be happy when the kids leave home. Isle be happy when I retire. Isle be happy when I marry Jack. Isle be happy when I divorce Jack. Isle

No longer is Meditation the exclusive domain of Buddhists, Taoists, Sikhs, spiritualists and the like. They have used it as a practical avenue for accessing inner states of tranquility, clarity and One-ness. Now, it is popular across the world, encouraged by psychologists, psychiatrists, personal trainers and even mainstream medicos. They see it as a means

This week a beloved brother and, for over ten years’ loyal Heartland supporter and staffer, Peter Hill, passed over following a massive brain hemorrhage. It was a sudden, surprising and saddening day for all of us. He will be remembered with great affection and enduring love. His passing jolted Trudi and I out of our

A well-known Australian Spiritual Astrologer commenced her monthly newsletter last week by telling us that “With the planet Jupiter about to move signs at the end of this month into the sign of Cancer for the next 12 months, the focus will shift for everyone to issues around home, family, work, fears, and insecurities…….” She

“Some days are diamonds, Some days are stones”  sang John Denver in that famous song. Speaking to a Friend the other day gave me the chance to remind myself that not all days seem to be diamonds. Indeed, for all of us, some days definitely seem as heavy as stones! Some of us are moving

My last article brought a lot of emails into my computer, all of them most loving……thankyou! Two however asked me to take the topic a step further…… Brigitte (from Brazil) asked: ……if you could shed more light on the ‘Face of God’ in regards of the unsettling news in Cleveland, Ohio with the 3 girls.

Last night Trudi and I celebrated our (joint) birthday and also our wedding anniversary. Then we had an argument, a very rare happening, but very unsettling. I tell you this because you receive and probably quickly read my articles – and I wouldn’t want you to think I write from a life of self-satisfied self-realisation,

The Master smiled at his small entourage of hopeful followers. They were fisherman, trades-people with a smattering of middle-class folk, all seeking an end to economic, social and religious domination by outside interests. “The Kingdom of Heaven is within” he carefully stated in his most carefully crafted Aramaic. “Is that it?” asked someone in the

There was once a Master who loved nothing more than to help others self-realise. One day a young man approached and asked for the older man’s help. The older man sized him up and then told him to go home and first repair all his hurt relationships, quit all his guilts and resentments and let

Everyone on Planet Earth is part angel, part animal. If this offends you because of all the ‘work’ you have done to lift your vibrations toward the spiritual, I apologise. But it makes no difference. If you are on this living life-orb as it spins on its axis around this part of our galactic neighbourhood,

Easter these days is mostly a time for relaxing and enjoying oneself. For some, it’s the time for celebrating the holiest event in the Christian year. For almost all of us it’s the time for Easter eggs and hot cross buns (both of which, along with Easter itself, actually existed well before Christianity took them

Life, sometimes, can seem overwhelming. In fact, after we ‘wake up’ to our divine place in the scheme of things, it can often seem even more so! We become aware of the problems caused by dumpsite disposal of plastics, of the rising salination of productive lands, of the tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of

During the week one of my close ministerial friends sent me a prayer in the form of a phone call to God. In part it said: I want to ask you please to keep, My family and Friends safe and sound. I froze with guilt – guilt that in the past I’d nodded in supportive

Last week we shared a delightful brunch in a bustling café overlooking the Pacific Ocean with two beloved friends. One, researching for a book, eagerly asked me “what is your philosophy of life?’ My answer was that I don’t have one. My friend, who knows me well, seemed flummoxed. “Of course you do! You must

Recently I have been writing about Faith and Gratitude and how they can transform our lives in ways which seem more like miracles than ordinary, everyday spiritual abundance. Below are two stories received from readers who share their own wonderful miracles through using the very simple process I encourage everyone to embrace. Hi Les &

Giving Thanks for our previous home and also finding a new property weren’t the only surprising events that occurred as a result of giving thanks and trusting in the Divine. The necessary finance, itself, was another example. After I had taken the $50 I had in my wallet (one of the very few I had in
