Many people may think that to experience the spiritual we may need to be either in a meditative state, reading spiritual books or attending seminars or talks on esoteric matters. We are all spiritual from the very moment that we are born. In fact, we have forgotten that the very essence of our being is the spirit, the divine that is within each one of us. To experience the spiritual, we just...
At some point in our lives, we have no doubt experienced pain, in the physical, emotional or mental bodies. Pain experienced from the Personality (physical, emotional, mental) can be excruciating and no doubt there are arguments as to which level of pain is the hardest to cope with. Pain on any level affects us deeply and can be lasting even after the event which caused the pain in the first...
So much is spoken of the word Light, especially at this time of year when half the world is in the grip of winter and the darkness that comes earlier each day. We associate light with bringing clarity and illumination and it is a truth that we all feel better when the Light is shining around us. When the dawn breaks each day and the Light appears over the horizon in the shape and glory of...
Dear Friends, Due to the unprecedented crisis that enfolds us all, I have obviously suspended my Workshops for the time being. Please watch this space for further updates. Thank you. At the same time, I wanted to give a message of hope during these amazing times we live in. These are not the times to be afraid, although for some lives have changed dramatically, nevertheless it is in the...
“All the world is a stage…..” said Shakespeare. The Tibetan Master Dhwjal Khul told us, through the Alice Bailey books, about the world of illusion and the world of glamour. My own logic tells me that if this is so, then we are all the greatest actors and supporting cast imaginable. Yet this is not so far-fetched, because if we think about it very carefully, we actually spend our lives...
There is a lovely old metaphor ‘love is a many splendoured thing’ . Indeed there was a lovely old film by this name – and I think here I would especially like to emphasise and concentrate on the word ‘many’. For the word, and particularly the meaning of LOVE, has so many aspects. For some the word love is difficult to use perhaps because we only associate an emotional response and we...
Our thoughts have always been part of us. We may even have believed that our thoughts were our conscience, that is, until we started realising that our feelings and our thoughts were intimately connected, and our lives were ruled by both. Our perceptions, our thoughts, our feelings are first shaped by the surroundings we find ourselves in, by our families, by our nation, by our race. So from...
One of the most fundamental truths of our being is our own inner connection. However, because often life is so busy and we are caught up in a thousand and one things to do, perhaps we don’t allow ourselves the time to really know who we are and what we are made of. Jesus said ‘The Father and I are one’. What does this mean? What is our connection with the divine? In the recognition...
Article for New Vision, The Hamblin Trust magazine There are times in life when we go through varying experiences which affect us deeply. Some of these experiences are joyful and our hearts leap in pure happiness. Other experiences can be painful and we feel almost like drawing wings around us for comfort and protection. With the joyful experiences it would be quite natural that we...
Article for New Vision, The Hamblin Trust magazine When we rely only on our outer selves, life’s experiences can sometimes be extremely overwhelming and often very painful. It is so hard to understand pain and suffering with simply the outer human mind. We resist it, we resent it. We cannot understand why when we try so hard to do the right things, life throws a spanner in the works...
Or Blessings in Disguise Article for New Vision, The Hamblin Trust magazine Every now and again life has a way of throwing a few spanners at us – some small and some large. We can call them testings, they are the trials and tribulations which the soul needs to experience as we develop along the spiritual path. If one was being thoroughly pessimistic we could even say that this is the...
Article for New Vision, The Hamblin Trust magazine Healing and well-being is a natural gift of life that is available to all of us. Healing comes by grace of being. Being who we are and flowing with our natural energy – the chi, reminds us that we are part of the Infinite, that Divine spark that is inherent in each one of us. Our original creation was in that perfect seed that needed...
Ancestral Group Soul - The Family Tree Throughout history we have been told by many spiritual teachers and prophets that life is Eternal, so therefore one is led to assume that there must be something more than the physical body which continues after our experiences on earth. It seems also to suggest that whilst we may discard the personality/the material form, something else continues. ...
The concept or intention of change is that it brings the possibility of altering our lives or at least certain aspects of it. Whether this is by choice or imposed on us, it nevertheless takes us to a different space and a fresh opportunity to bring something new into our lives. If we have made the decision to do or begin something new in our lives, then we do so perhaps in the hope that a...
I have often wondered why it is that we spend time preparing for any travelling, whether social or work related, and yet so few prepare or even understand the greatest journey of all. As we probably know from experience any travel arrangements can come fraught with stress and anxiety, especially when we are planning a holiday with our families. There is so much to take into account, so...
During our spiritual journey, we reach a stage in our soul evolution when we realise that we are no longer willing to be at the mercy of fate. A time comes when a veil is lifted and we know that we no longer wish to live under the shadow of indoctrination. We have taken that step forward into a space, as yet unknown maybe, but nevertheless we cannot go back. In other words, the soul...
