Soul Lights

Easter is upon us. The only faith I have “belonged to” in the last fifty years is my own. In that time I have been neither Christian, Jew, Buddhist nor Hindu. So, for me, Easter is either an ancient tale, remembered each year by those who honour the beautiful Spiritual Teacher it relates to –

I mentioned recently that when I was a homeless teenager on the streets of ‘the Cross’ I carried what seemed like the very worst of all burdens: I saw myself as grossly disfigured and ugly due to the large tumours which covered my body….. I also doubted if I was worthwhile….if my life was worth

Most of us focus on the small things that simply disappear from importance before the week is out. In the meantime because we focus on them their importance expands and takes up much of our time and attention. Unfortunately, there are no refunds for wasted time so we end up achieving far less than we

Thirty years ago I ran a weekend spiritual workshop at Kingaroy. About 36 eager people turned up. On the way to Kingaroy early morning I came across a kangaroo that had been hit by a car. It lay dead on the road, still warm. I stopped the car and checked it for any joeys –

Dearest Friends, A Thousand thanks for your friendship, your love  and support. There is a growing pandemic spreading across the entire world. Oddly enough, it’s nothing new. And it has nothing to do with Covid or any other virus. It’s just that there’s a whole lot more of us sharing the planet. So it’s so

Jean Houston, the famous human potential movement “guru” tells the story of when she was very young getting the opportunity to meet the great Albert Einstein at his house on the Princeton University campus. A classmate asked him: “How can we get to be as smart as you?” He said “Read fairy tales,” which made

I am reminded of the young lady who had terminal cancer. Elizabeth wanted to carefully script and plan her final farewell. Flowers, prayers, songs, speakers – she arranged the entire thing, well in advance. She requested that she have an open casket at the funeral. And – surprising the organizer – she asked that a

Congratulations! You are connected to the network! Actually, we all are….. But not all of us realize it. Do you remember when you thought of a friend and they called you on the phone just minutes later? Or the time you thought of someone and almost immediately they physically knocked on the front door? Or

Several people have asked me to address these issues…so here goes! Clearly, having faith and trust in human beings is risky. They turn. They change. Circumstances cause alterations and modifications. Every kind of relationship is subject to adjustment, like it or not. So faith and trust in human beings and their institutions is always subject

I titled my last book so badly that sales have nose-dived! How lucky am I…….failing at things can be such a wonderful teacher! (I am choosing to simply re-title it and some others at the same time). I know many people who get really disappointed (and even angry) when things go every way except the

Have you ever watched rain running down the window? Each drop seems to be competing with the next to get to the bottom first….your mind joins in the race. You take sides, hoping your chosen rain drop gets there before the others….. It’s called projection. You project your identity onto the raindrops. You project your

There was an old man who used to go to the nursing home religiously every day around breakfast time to see his wife. He’d stay half the morning, then come back later in the day to see her again. He never missed a day. And this was particularly remarkable because his wife had advanced dementia

Another year looms ahead….. How will you handle its highs and its lows, its ups and its downs, its hurts and its joys, its positives and its negatives…..?? We all have them. No-one is immune from them. No-one flows through life without them. I have as many as anyone else (maybe even more than some

Wherever you go, I shall go Wherever you live, so shall I live We shall be together for ever Your people will be my people. And your God will be my God, too……   A friendly chat with Spirit reminded me of this 5th century BC story of Ruth (a Moabite) whose Jewish husband died.

When I was a homeless teenager on the streets of ‘the Cross’ I carried what seemed like the very worst of all burdens: I was ugly. Or so I thought. I had large tumours on my body and I thought I looked untouchable, rather like ‘the elephant man’. To cover my shame I wore long

Like most people, in my younger days when things went “wrong” I consulted psychics. Palmists, card-readers, clairvoyants of every ilk. And time and time again during the reading I would be told I had a special “guide” with me called (as best they could ascertain) Morkeye or Morchai or Morke or (most often) Mordechai. I

This is possibly one of the biggest issues facing us today….are we alone? Most of us spend time in conversation with our friends wondering   about aliens and ufo’s……Is anyone else ‘out there’? Are we safe? Are other life-forms more advanced than us? And the answer to all three of these questions is: Certainly. YES. But

The Bhagavad Gita, Hindus sacred scripture, has about 21,000 words. The Koran has about 77,000. Kojiki, the sacred text of Japanese Shintoism runs to 150,000 words. The Buddhist Tipitaka runs to around 300,000 eight-syllable verses. The Christian New Testament is around 770,000 words and the Jewish bible packs in over 783,000. Each of these texts

Neale Donald Walsch and myself share a number of things in common: we both changed direction after talking to God, both wrote books of our talks, both continue to help others to shine their Inner Light. (I encourage you to read his awesome books ‘Conversations With God”.) So, for a change, I’d like to offer

Do you recognize yourself as a Work Of Art? Now I’m not talking at all about your ego. Indeed, for many people their ego would happily describe them as anything but a work of art…..and for many others their ego would loudly declare their absolute superiority in just about everything…… No, this has nothing at
