Soul Lights

Two  articles back I suggested that WE are the active ingredient that swings our personal pendulum one way or other toward success or failure. I said that TRUST above all else in one’s real self, one’s ‘Inner Self’ is the best remedy for all the ills that beset us. But how do we actually achieve

THE CORE ISSUE…. THE ONLY REAL PROBLEM WE HAVE…… In my last article I suggested that TRUST in one’s real self, one’s ‘Inner Self’ is the best remedy for all the ills that beset us. Instead of trusting this doctor or that therapist, this counsellor or that teacher, we need to trust that still, small

WHICH WAY TO GO…..? WHICH CHOICE TO MAKE……? All of us find ourselves in this dilemma sometimes. None of us is immune. It might relate to an illness and its cure; or a family situation and its healing; or a work environment and its options; or money problems and their remedy. In each case, we

Often in life, we find we have more to do than time to do it. That’s when we need to asap!! Sometimes, our troubles seem to overwhelm us. At such times it’s important to asap!! When we (or our friends or family) are sick or hurting it’s definitely time to asap!! And when we feel lost,

Raymond Aaron, a US Retreat Leader tells the story of asking his group what they wanted from his program…..one man said he wanted a million dollars. He had just started a company to harvest stem cells and he wanted to expand his dream. Raymond thought that was a huge goal….but he said nothing. The next

Please excuse the necessary negativity at the start of this message. I think we can all agree the world is, in many ways, going mad. Australia is a microcosmic example of a society that is losing its bearings. The wheels are very definitely falling off the truck…..   We seem to be incapable of simply

Are our minds FULL – or are we mindful? The difference to our life is quite extraordinary! If our mind is full it usually means its cluttered with junk. That junk might be lack of self-worth, acceptance of illness as a fact of life, poor personal boundaries or unhappy relationships with others, etc. And those

Today’s world just gets crazier and crazier…… People strive for bigger houses, better jobs, more money, newer gadgets…… Family life often disintegrates and happiness dissolves in a welter of anxiety, hurt, fear and depression. Society struggles to become ever more productive whilst the individual often feels ever more neglected. Money becomes the new God to

In December I wrote about Shanti Deva and her vivid and accurate memory of a previous incarnation. Like many such cases, the new life repeated both gender and nationality as if the person was trying to continue a previous life……   One of the most extraordinary recorded cases is of Jasbir from Rasulpur in Uttar

Dearest Friends, Now that Santa has returned to the North Pole we can all focus on the next big bash. This is the New Year…. Where I come from this happens every day. Every day, every hour, in fact every moment, is considered another brand new moment in which we can unfold into our True

Dearest Friends, Unfortunately Santa’s Sleigh has been caught up in the refugee debacle and isn’t allowed to travel from Indonesia down to Oz. He’s been threatened with imprisonment on Nauru, Manus or even (worse) Canberra. So he’ll be giving us a miss this year. I apologise on his behalf. We are all just going to

Last article I wrote about the four year old (now probably nine) who both remembers before she was born; and has told her parents she still has angels watching over her. This week I’d like to tell you about Shanti Deva, born in Delhi in1926. Around the age of three she told her parents that

Last article I wrote about death and dying; and many people kindly responded – thankyou. So this week I’d like to share a few insights into a couple of its aspects…….. 1.      KEEP OUR FOCUS POSITIVE NO MATTER WHAT. Sue, suffering a rare and painful disease, wrote me earlier this year. Her words tell the

Each year we do our best to help a great many hurting people. Some we see in person, others by Skype, others by email. On Monday I spoke to two people who were having to face issues around death. I felt my answer to one of them might well help others in the same situation.

This is the single, most important – and necessary – achievement for any of us at our current stage of spiritual evolution. Until we fully like ourself we can’t love ourself. And until we love ourself, we can’t truly love anything or anyone else. Until we can sincerely acknowledge that we like ourself we can

Although this beautiful prayer is attributed to St Francis he didn’t write it. It was written by Father Esther Bouquerel (a French priest) and printed in his newsletter in 1912. In 1967 it was somewhat re-written and set to hymn music by the South African songwriter Sebastian Temple. Jon Cohen further changed the words later.

As readers of my articles you are automatically members of The Community Of The Heart. This Community has no membership fees, holds no meetings and asks nothing of you – other than to always try to come from the Heart. One member (for almost 25 years now!) sent me a request this week: “can u in

Thanks to those people who replied to last week’s article. One person hit the nail on the head: Mother Theresa failed to consciously connect with God because she was looking for the Divine Presence “somewhere out there”….. rather than owning her most loving inner feelings – the way each of us can access (in a way limited

This week I’d like to share with you my own edited version of a talk originally written and given by Robert Fritz, a highly renowned American Thinker. I am sure you will gain much from it. Sometimes we think we have to be regularly in touch with the Divine to have a meaningful Life –

“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.”  Robert Bryne, the American author wrote this famous line. His contemporary, Adam Leipzig, a film studio executive, converted it into a simple, yet profound, talk……how to find your life’s purpose in just 5 minutes. He asked his audience just five questions which I’ve printed below….. Do
