Now is the start of the new year. No one knows what this year will bring, but your attitude towards it can make it the most glorious of years. Waste no time listening to predictions for the coming year, simply hold in your consciousness that this will be the most wonderful year possible and help bring it about. Your whole attitude and outlook are so vitally important. ~ Inner guidance received through Eileen Caddy, Co-founder Findhorn Foundation Community Photo by K B on Unsplash Continue reading

When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone, no part of the world can find you. It's time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love. The dark will be your home tonight. The night will give you a horizon further than you can see. You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes … Continue reading

Awakening is not a path for the faint of heart. You will be humbled. Oh yes. Brought to your knees. Many, many times. What you thought you knew will occasionally dissolve into nothingness. Your most brilliant insights, your astonishing expertise, your life’s work, it can all crumble to the ground. Sometimes without warning. You will be asked to begin again, and again, and again. And again. (Did I say, this is not a path for the faint of heart?) Oh yes, you will touch the bliss and joy of … Continue reading

Recently, during an interview I quite enjoyed, the host asked me if I considered myself a man of faith. "Of course, I am a man of faith!" I responded. And then I proceeded to offer a reframed and embodied notion of faith that wasn't necessarily tethered to bearded divinities and religious monocultures. What might faith look like if humans weren't the unit of analysis? If it didn't terminate at belief systems or cognitive leaps? A posthumanist faith? Faith is the fidelity of entanglements. Faith … Continue reading

I want to stress very strongly the need for balance in this life, the need to step out of a routine and do something completely different. When you go on doing the same thing day in and day out, year in and year out, you can so easily become stale and even drained. Therefore step out fearlessly from time to time and do something totally different to get refreshed and revitalised, ready for anything. Yes, I have said that rhythm is very necessary but there are times when rhythm is taken so much … Continue reading

I need more and more beacons of light in this darkened world, the more light there is, the less darkness. If only more souls would realise this and do something about it and awaken out of their slumbers and rise up taking that glorious light which is within them out into the world and so change the whole landscape by dispersing the darkness, for darkness cannot withstand the light. Do your part now and do it with a heart filled with joy and thanksgiving and be everlastingly grateful that you … Continue reading

HOW TO BE A POET (to remind myself) Make a place to sit down. Sit down. Be quiet. You must depend upon affection, reading, knowledge, skill — more of each than you have — inspiration, work, growing older, patience, for patience joins time to eternity. Any readers who like your poems, doubt their judgment. Breathe with unconditional breath the unconditioned air. Shun electric wire. Communicate slowly. Live a three-dimensioned life; stay away from screens. Stay away from anything that obscures … Continue reading

Miracle Fair The commonplace miracle: that so many common miracles take place. The usual miracle: invisible dogs barking in the dead of night, One of many miracles: a small and airy cloud is able to upstage the massive moon. Several miracles in one: an alder is reflected in the water and is reversed from left to right and grows from crown to root and never hits bottom though the water isn’t deep. A run-of-the-mill miracle: winds mild to moderate turning gusty in storms. A miracle in the … Continue reading

People have difficulty awakening to their inner world especially when their lives have become overly familiar... The first step in awakening to your inner life and to the depth and promise of your solitude would be to consider yourself for a little while as a stranger to your own deepest depths. To decide to view yourself as a complete stranger, someone who has just stepped ashore in your life, is a liberating exercise. This meditation helps to break the numbing stranglehold of complacency and … Continue reading
