In this world today I hear a great deal expressed around the notion that at the centre of everything is love. How do people know this.  Are they on the phone to The Great Mystery and recording it's every thought and notion.  I have always been under the impression, have come to an understanding, that at the centre of everything is everything, if it were not so it would not be here in the manifest world.  It may be true that we are in world short of love and in a great need to learn the art of...

A well-written poem uses words sparsely, paints an idea and invokes a feeling and mood often employing two words alone.  Line after line the verse describes something that prose or dialogue is not able to capture.  The relationship between words, not always obvious, imagines for us a world that transports the soul.  Change the position of a single word and the poem takes on a different life.  It is not only the arrangement that expresses meaning, the choice of one word over another, though th...

I noticed in an interaction with a friend last night that it is difficult for most people to sit in a pause.  We tend to rush in and fill it, with anything.  With chatter or activity.  In those moments where there seems to be nothing going on, where the silence, or non-action is prevalent, we feel a great desire to make a noise or do something. 

Consider music for a moment, the rest, the pause, belongs to the music as much as the notes.  The rest insists on a contribution to the melody, to th...

If you do not take the time to stop and really consider what you care about, you will be at the command of your compulsions.  The will is the natural capacity to organise ones self toward outcomes.  The way you wish to be in life as well as what you want in your life.  The will is interested in what you care about as its source of inspiration.  Whether we are consciously caring about something or unconsciously being driven, the will engages and begins its task of organising you and life about...

There is a wave through the world toward a new spiritual awareness.  Many questions are being asked about living this life well; becoming whole, empowered, finding one’s passion, living from greatness.  I think it would be true to say that one of the most prominent ideas that has been around for thousands of years is that we have a soul and an ego.  That if we are living our lives from ego we will tend toward dysfunctional behaviour, and if we are living from our souls we will be living fre...

The first and primary principle of my practice is that “All is Consciousness”. That everything in existence, all expression of life, be it organic or manufactured exists within a consciousness that is the totality of all, and that this very same consciousness exists within everything.  Consciousness then is the substance, the medium that we get to play with and indeed play within.

The second principle is that “Wholeness is not Optional”. The implication of such a statement is that not...

I think we all have an understanding to some degree of what empathy means.  I will be bold enough to say we comprehend that it refers to the ability to feel for another, feel what they are feeling.  As I scour the many definitions, one in particular jumped out at me.  It is from the Chambers 11th edition.  It defines empathy in its first case as: “ The power of entering another’s personality and imaginatively experiencing his or her experiences”.  Now there are two things here that drew...

Amongst the wonderful discoveries that we have come to know, is the fact that each person has their own perception of reality, that our personal filters and inherent eye, sees life differently from the person next door.  While this contribution has allowed a inclusion of the individual state, and encourages a diverse range of view points, what it potentially develops is a lack of the understanding of sameness.  The ability to see humanity as gifted with the same fundamental capacities and att...
