Soul Lights

Dear Friends, Many thanks for your replies to my most recent article in which I spoke about Life as being ONE-DE-FULL. One dear friend wrote to me: “I am struggling with your challenge for us. I’m feeling so disheartened at the insanity of our current society. I am in Margaret River, South West WA.. I

Life is wonderful. I’m sure you’ll agree – how could you not? Life, everywhere, and in every instant, is always wonderful. I can see you starting to waiver…..surely, you ask me, it’s not always wonderful, is it? What about floods, fires, famine, foreclosures, feuds, fighting and other fearful happenings – they can’t be viewed as

Over the last thirty years I have encountered thousands of people who felt that Life was, at best, an endless challenge and, at worst, a devilish curse. I have met a great many people who wished to quit it. Some did. What do you think Life is? A tough trial, a hard lesson, a sick

Dear Friends, As 2010 gently moves into history we are each offered further opportunities to express the Divine as we find it within us. Many of us embraced our Light in wondrous ways during the last twelve months; and have thus enjoyed enormously fulfilling personal lives. Many of us became much more aware that there

Christmas brings us the remembrance that Jesus lived. Theologians and historians of every religious persuasion now agree that Jesus was born, probably toward mid-year somewhere around 2016 years ago. All agree he was a religious trailblazer who single-handedly established the scholastic, moral and religious under-pinning of European society for the next 2,000 years. He was

Dear Friends, This article is the 200th I have written specifically for this emailed newsletter.It has given me immense joy to write them and to share them with you – but now I must turn my attention to my books, three of which remain incomplete, with others still awaiting my focus.To help this process I

A deluge of replies to my last article was deeply appreciated – and a wonderful surprise! I have decided to share with everyone the TOP TEN lists I received, in no particular order, as I feel we can all learn so much from one another. From Robbert, a beautiful Sculptor in Holland: 1 ) See

A recent study asked what are the 7 Wonders of the Modern World? Although a minority of people differed, in general terms people proposed, in order of importance: 1. The Great Pyramid of Giza 2. The Taj Mahal 3. The Grand Canyon 4. The Panama Canal 5. The Empire State Building 6. St Peters Basilica

A spiritual organisation recently sent out an email stating “….on Sunday, October 24th we will celebrate the First Global Oneness Day. Although United Nations did not yet confirm this declaration, we want to start to Celebrate! We know that around the world there are 50,000+ people that want to join us…they have already signed our

Most people don’t want to be happy. Nor do they want to be unhappy. Instead, they want to be happy with conditions. In other words, when their demands are met. This isn’t happiness at all: rather, it’s having our demands met. Often, these are a demand on the Universe: “I’ll be happy when I win

The Way forward is to stay still. This is how we find Self. The Way forward is to go nowhere except within. This is how we embrace Self. This seems crazy in a crazy world that looks to others for approval – but only because many people have forgotten their innate greatness. The Way forward

“It is well known that if you use UV light to destroy 99 percent of a cell, including its DNA, you can almost entirely repair the damage in a single day just by illuminating the cell with the same wavelength at a much weaker intensity. This phenomenon is known as photorepair. “A Russian scientist, Pjotr

Last week I spoke about Real Faith embracing us as our expectations in such a way that it flows out of an actual physical knowing within us rather than just a clump of mental ideas, hopes or even vague wishes. One person wrote: “The fleeting awareness of this knowing is so sweet and then we

In my spare time I am writing three more books. You might well ask “why three?” – and my answer is “because I expect to finish them”. Expectation, real expectation, is faith. Finishing the books is not my goal (one volume has taken three years thus far!). Rather, it is my vision. It is a

Ultimately, Happiness arises from within oneself the moment one surrenders to Divine Guidance. After we’ve thought all our thoughts, planned all our plans, plotted all our plots, dreamed all our dreams and manipulated everyone and everything we realize we ultimately have control over nothing outside our Self. We cannot control our life, our death or

Three articles ago I spoke about the first step to happiness – stop comparing ourself with anyone else. The following article I spoke about how happiness is being truly real and seeing through the insanity of “normal” life. We DROP the distortions and dysfunctions which create the madness that spins itself into a mesmerising nightmare

Last week I spoke about STEP ONE – not comparing oneself with anyone else. Justine from Sydney wrote: “Hey Les, I loved Step 1, I could really relate to this piece. A task last year brought out my self-doubt and issues of self-worth. I can honestly say my comparing myself to other people robbed me

Are you happy? Anthony De Mello, the late and famous Catholic priest from India, once said that noone was happy. He said that no-one even wanted to be happy – they liked being sad, hurt, disillusioned and angry. I’m not quite as pessimistic as Anthony – I believe happiness is possible on this planet. It

I remember as a child hearing the story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. It fascinated me; especially because all the churches seemed fixated on some strange purpose for his barbaric killing and an equally strange reliance on the sureness of his physical resurrection. For me, the magic of the story lay in the fact that
