The conscious journey is about the light touch. No grinding and gritting the teeth, the way we do when we first start out because the terrain is unknown. We feel lost or overwhelmed, but we keep on. This time we’re not giving up, no matter what. Like that clock ticking in the background – we’ve got to hurry. Yes, we created the illusion of time but it’s a damn good illusion. It doesn’t let us be. We certainly can’t watch the grass growing, what an absolute waste of time! Then, of course, there are those times. The times when we [...]

Sweep The Mundane Away “No man ever steps in the same river twice for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man” – Heraclitus When you first dip your toes in the river, the water that wets them came from a small stream that joined the river from the left of the acacia tree. The cool temperature of the water brought you relief from the heat. When you dipped the other foot, the struggle of the fish against the fisherman’s hook upstream had changed the energy of the water. You noticed the kingfisher as it flew in [...]

There’s much to be said and enjoyed about the state of victimhood. - We have no responsibility. Almost everything is somebody else’s fault. - It’s truly enjoyable. Otherwise, why in the name of all that is spiritual, would we wallow in it for so long? - We learn the fine arts of manipulation and emotional blackmail. - We do not have to be creative about finding solutions to our problems. They are for others to sort out. - We get attention, loads of it from people who have loads of victimhood or guilt or sacrifice running in their veins. [...]

Pause Is Not A Bad Word When we lost the art of contemplation, we lost an essential part of our magic. It began at a fairly early age - quick, you’ve got to catch the bus, you’ve got to this to do or that, give me an answer quick etc. etc. And before you knew it, your contemplation of the tablespoon or the butterfly, your mother’s words or your own fantastic idea that had just popped up came to an end. The loss has affected us deeply. We are thought. When we do not take the time to nurture our [...]

The Unconquerable Within Us Inner worthiness is that glue that keeps us together when those around us are doing their darnest to get us back into the fold of conformity and they don’t care what methods they use. Unfortunately, it’s not there when we  first come out of the closet of hiding our spiritual leanings.  It is something we gather and hold within from the harvest of our dedication to knowing ourselves as more than just the limited human beings we have been led to believe we are. Intrinsically tied to self-love and self-honour, inner worth is [...]

The Cactus In The Desert None of us could have quite imagined ourselves as truly complex beings when we first awakened. This truth becomes glaringly obvious when we work on an issue, we do the shadow work, inner work, release this or that about it. And just when we finally think it’s resolved, it pops up again with the sturdy resilience of a cactus. It seems we hadn’t tackled this aspect or that angle.  This can sometimes cause us to think of giving up the conscious journey. Well, we just think that but don’t actually do it because we [...]

The quest for the Holy Grail and variations of the same in almost every culture across the globe led to a seeking of something outside of ourselves. It was very elusive, with an unquantifiable magic and indescribable abilities. No one was quite sure what it was. Legends and myths through the ages were clear on one thing, it was to be sought after because it would bestow unlimited powers on the triumphant finder. As we are now discovering, if we set aside the more sinister connotations of almost everything we have been taught as part of folklore, [...]

Inner worthiness is that glue that keeps us together when those around us are doing their darnest to get us back into the fold of conformity and they don’t care what methods they use. Unfortunately, it’s not there when we first come out of the closet of hiding our spiritual leanings. It is something we gather and hold within from the harvest of our dedication to knowing ourselves as more than just the limited human beings we have been led to believe we are. Intrinsically tied to self-love and self-honour, inner worth is unassailable. Once anchored within [...]

 Do you understand your soul’s desires and wants? When your soul is full from a particular experience, the way that it moves itself into another experience is to create in you an overwhelming feeling of wanting to do something. That is your soul communicating to you that it’s time to move to another experience.  When you receive communication from your soul and move on to a new experience without pulling away and resisting, or without burying or tucking the desire away, it helps you move to the next experience more rapidly; allowing you the opportunity to more readily absorb the next experience.  You [...]
