Soul Lights

Selling our valley property (last fortnight’s article) wasn’t the only surprising event that occurred as a result of giving thanks and trusting in the Divine. Heartland, itself, was another example. Trudi and I had been searching for a venue where we could live and work in one place rather than live at our valley and operate

Recently I told a Group the story of how Trudi and I came to sell up and move to Chatsworth to establish Heartland. We first went for a long forest walk and talked about maybe making the move and selling our beautiful valley which was surrounded on all sides by forest and was accessible only

True Forgiveness arises out of acceptance. Often in the western world forgiveness is expressed as a form of pseudo-compassionate judgement: “I forgive you for what you did”. Yet is this true forgiveness? Most often it’s more of a probationary sentence that actually implies: I am aware of what you did but I am willing to

Why strive to be something you already are? Why not simply allow it to unfold? Does a young daffodil strive to bring forth its golden trumpet? Does spring strive to bring forward summer? Does the seed act like the tree it once will be? Does a tadpole strive to jump like a frog or a

Our negativity is an addiction. Addictions take many forms from being addicted to alcohol, cigarettes, drugs and gambling to being addicted to sex, celibacy, money, poverty, love, hate and everything in between. Addiction is a habit we don’t seem to be able to find the energy to break. Habits are a form of ownership and

We sabotage ourselves because deep within we’re afraid of disgracing ourselves. This fear we express as two seemingly opposed dysfunctions – sometimes as fear of failure and at other times as fear of success. Most of us utilise both forms of fear to handle different situations in our lives. But in truth, they’re both the

You don’t actually die – although it certainly looks that way! Your physical body starts to decompose because the energy body that gives it life – commonly called the etheric body withdraws its sustenance. With its life-energy withdrawn, the physical body starts to quickly dissipate and return to the constituent states from which it was

Of course. In fact, no major religion denies the continuation of life after death. They simply differ in the ‘small print’ of where and how this happens. The Jews of 2,000 years ago acknowledged multiple lives: as noted in the Bible, they asked was Jesus not Elijah, Jeremiah or one of the other prophets? The

To stay more awake, simply stay more observant. Allow the centre of yourself to change from exclusively being the Doer to also being the Observer of the Doer and your doings. So often we undertake chores and activities and only later remember what we did. Many find they can drive from place to place and

Consciousness is the state of awaked-ness. Most of us imagine we’re awake most of the day, but in fact we’re really in a heightened state of sleep, the level of sleep at which we can still carry out a varied range of ordinary yet automatic processes. These range from getting up and going to the

Finding on-going happiness seems, for many of us, an almost impossible task. We end up settling for a grey and far less satisfying state of ‘okay-ness’ interspersed with brief periods of joy, harmony and momentary fulfilments side by side with uncomfortable feelings of personal impotence, general dissatisfaction and sometimes even victim-hood. Our experiences tend to

Choose. Am I suggesting it’s as easy as choosing? Yes! But let me add that it’s equally important what you choose. Everyone of us hurts at some time in our life. It seems to be a natural expression for every being human being. And yet the truth is that it’s not natural! Hurting is that

You overcome your anger by finding your love. The moment you access that love – it always lives deep within you, no matter how you feel or what you do – your anger disappears. Try it and see this truth for yourself – you cannot be filled with anger and love at the same time,

Dear Friends, I thought I’d give you a break from the general seriousness of my newsletters this fortnight! After all, we DO have a lot of FUN at Heartland! So…….below is a story from Trudi about our latest family members – three baby cows we’ve saved from slaughter. Quick reminder: Easter is next week and

This is the second short article from one of my upcoming books. I trust that it helps you, as it seems the first has (thanks to those who emailed me). I have written it – like all my books – for all of us. We all have the right to understand our wonder-full-ness – and to own it.

If all your questions about life could be answered, would you be happy? The answer for most of us would be ‘yes, but…”. And that ‘but’ would be the sticking point. That’s because it’s not what we know that’s most important – but what we do with what we know. Just a couple of generations

Some people may find this week’s article controversial – it may not be what you expect from a spiritual seeker. 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, the very breath of God,

I am interrupting my series of channelled messages to address the matter of 2012… “End days” has been a popular scare topic since time immemorial: the early Christians were certain the ‘end’ would happen within their lifetime and many latter-day New Agers have been of similar belief. The close of the Mayan Calendar has driven

I wish each of you a joyful Christ Mass! The Catholic christian church has celebrated the ritual known as Mass countless times to commemorate the private lives of tens of thousands of individuals over the last 2,000 years. It is fitting that Jesus should be included in their number through the ritual originally called Christ’s

The InnerStanding #11 HOW SHOULD I LIVE MY LIFE? Live life to the full! For has not God given you Life that you may experience it in all of its abundance and plenty? Your world is an illusion……yet, whilst you live upon its plane God asks one thing of you alone: Live all you can!
