For so long as we see God, Allah, Jehovah, Brahma,Life – call it what you will – as somehow separate from us, a No-thing, that we have to work hard at having a relationship with, we make a mock of the concept that we have thrust at us on a daily basis – THAT GOD ( and all the other words that we use) IS PART OF US AND WE ARE PART OF GOD. If I am part of that God and that god is part of me, then there is no separateness and therefore there can be no relationship to work on. What I do have to work at is simply expressing that divinity of which we are all a part and which is in each and every one of us. For so long as I feel that I have to work at the relationship with God then I deny the promise contained in the words of Jesus of Nazareth at John 10:34 “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods?” and again at 10:38 “that the Father is in me and I in him”.

We talk often about the alchemical process that is life so it might be well to examine what we mean when we talk of Alchemy. Usually it is associated with old men with long beards in mysterious book-filled laboratories, surrounded by strange equipment and very busy trying to turn lead into gold. Likely with an owl as the symbol of wisdom perched somewhere in the background. This, sadly, has lead to alchemy being discredited as something more than a little off the wall and not to be taken too seriously. Read more…

Below is a letter I recently received from someone who has done my personal development work. I feel it outlines a very common issue that confronts all of us – both male and female – in our relationships and that is the matter of Trust and the matter of what we call the Truth. My reply to her is interleaved. I feel that what is written could serve a great number of people out there who are wrestling with their relationships. Feel free to comment! Read more…

What a large number of the prophecies are saying - and some of these come from a very long time ago and from totally unrelated cultures and backgrounds indeed – is that it is going to be change of a very sudden and very rapid nature in the very near future. Change like that is always disturbing and often has very unpleasant results. The point that there have “prophets of doom” who have predicted the “end of the world”, since time immemorial is perfectly true and there can be justification for dismissing, at least a lot of those predictions, as “crap!”. The difference between those utterances and what is happening today is the diversity of source. It is truly remarkable how such a wide range of cultures that have no relationship with one another at all, are saying essentially the same thing. Read more…

Can you imagine a planet where everything was the same colour and the shape? Imagine if there were no mountains or valleys and that all we had were flat, never-ending plains? Imagine if those self-same plains and everything that grew on them were exactly the same colour. Let us not even go into the animal kingdom – the picture is already horrible! It is a fact that one of the features of our planet earth that we all delight in as human beings is the huge variety of landscapes, flora and fauna that we are blessed with. Read more…

This short story is not original to me and what I have done is fiddled with it a bit to illustrate a point about our relationships. Look carefully at your relationship. Are you drinking the chocolate the other person has to offer or are you complaining about the way in which they present what they have to offer – the cup!? Read more…

The Propositions of the Quantum World.
- Life has no interest in your losing.
- Life will not give you something you cannot handle.
- Life will always give you everything you need to handle what you are confronted with.
- Life will always support you in it’s way.
- If you say you can’t, Life will agree with you.
- It is your existing opinions, belief systems and points of view that are keeping you where you are.
There is a lot more of course and if you can start off by working with these you make a huge difference to both the way you look at and handle your life.

One of more remarkable expressions that is enjoying currency - especially, and not only, among our young people - these days is the word “Cool”. It is an awful, and very direct reflection, of where we see ourselves. Read more…

Some thoughts on Parenting.
- Be very clear as to why you are having children. It is a 20 year one sided commitment. They owe you nothing.
- Do some study about who and what you are. That way you can be the guide and mentor you have undertaken to be.
- Treat them as you would like to be treated. Would you like a 4m tall giant yelling at you?
- Be fair – both in the fact as well as the perception. Their standards are not the same as yours.
- Keep your word. Be VERY careful what to say to them. They have a disconcerting habit of taking you literally.
- Be present 24/7. This not easy – sorry about that!
- Your task is to create a space where they can become who they are, not whom you want them to be.
- Watch out for the transmission of your fears. 9. Be prepared to work hard.
- Have fun.
These are all very tricky indeed. Perhaps the trickiest is No 2. This is at least a two year project, so if you want to breed get busy!
