From one of my students, called Hope…
I can’t find it in me to understand
How 2 years on, your head’s still in the sand.
Is it fear that keeps the majority silent?
It must be an easier life to just be compliant.
Will you still bite your tongue when they push more and more?
If your friends and your family are dragged from their doors?
Read MoreAs we home in on two important dates – the USA Pluto Return on 20/2/2022 and the Terrible Twos on 22/2/2022 - I thought I would try to provide some clarity about what is going on in the world.
If you were born in the West in the twentieth century then you arrived into a society ruled by the number 1.
Pick a year - 1994, 1972, 1961, 1945, 1933 – all the years of the twentieth century began with a 1, but they also began with 19, and 1 + 9 = 10 = 1. 1 was the energy of the masculine, the element Fire, of pioneering innovation and invention, but also of short sightedness and selfishness. 1 = Me. 1 = The Magician in the Tarot.
Read MoreI finally realised. The other day, in a flash of light, I finally understood what spirituality was really all about.
Spirituality is not just about love, light and peace. It is about rebellion. At its core spirituality requires that you reject earthly authority.
You cannot claim to be spiritual if you comply with anything that runs counter to your conscience. In short, if you do as you are told by those in earthly power then you aren’t following God, you are giving way to fear. And compliance is the exact opposite of spirituality.
Read MoreOn reading this title you might say that you are not interested in politics and just want to learn about spirituality. Me too! But spirituality has been made political to such an extent that you can read an innocent sounding book or attend a perfectly ordinary course entitled something like Spirituality 101: A Beginners Guide and without knowing it be thrust head long into the world of politics.
Read MoreOnce upon a time heated debates were mostly conducted within the framework of “I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” For the longest time these words (incorrectly attributed to the 18th century French philosopher Voltaire) remained solid at the heart of Western ideas about liberalism and openness.
Read MoreThe problem with conspiracy theories is that even when they are right, they are often also wrong. For example, one of the fatal flaws among modern conspiracy theorists is to attribute destructive activity exclusively to non-human lizards who masquerade as people. The trouble is that this ignores the very real evil done by ordinary, tax-paying, supermarket shopping people.
Read MoreFear is now rife in our world. Even so-called sensible people are infected by it (which perhaps suggests they were not that sensible in the first place). Fear of catching the Rona, fear of getting the jab, of not getting the jab, of the jabbed, of the unjabbed, of the consequences of doing this, saying that or hearing the other. Fear is one nil up and the game seems like it is in the closing minutes.
Read MoreIt has been a while since I said much about this. So, here are 12 moods I have experienced during the last few months. Like all moods they should not be taken as gospel. However…
Read MoreDuring last summer I went for a walk, to the village I grew up in. Walking across the fields I came first to the primary school that I attended aged 4-11. My memory had been of school buildings leading onto a tarmac playground, flowing into a double length grass playing field, edged on three sides by open farmland where cows grazed.
Read MoreAs mask wearing becomes a part of the ‘new normal’ we must not forget to breathe.
And by that, I mean breathe properly.
Many people’s breathing is very shallow, as if they are almost gasping for air. Think about this. How deeply do you breathe?
Read MoreThere are many problems in the world, but two big ones, faced by individuals of all kinds are lack of direction and lack of willpower. Many people do not know which way to turn or what to do with their life. They do not know what is right or what is wrong. They lack direction. But these people, as well as many others, often also lack will power…
Read MoreCorona did not fear people into submission. Corona was merely the key in the lock that imprisoned a population that has been steadily conditioned to fear its own shadow and deny its own power.
Read MorePeople are already talking about the kind of world we will inhabit A.C. (After Corona). I think this is premature, not least because we are very likely to get Corona 2: The Sequel and Corona 3: Attack of the Zombies.
Read MoreI am not interested in why the Rona testing target has not been reached.
I am not interested in the NHS funding model.
And I am definitely not interested in mass vaccination!
Read MoreWhile most of us retain a thinking mind we are faced everyday with propaganda so insidious that it invades our consciousness before we even have a chance to think. It frames the argument before we have realised it and blocks off trackways of thought without us even knowing. This is a big problem but fortunately we now have a test for the presence of propaganda….
Read MoreFalse Evidence Appearing Real, that’s what some people call fear. But the evidence isn’t false if there really is something to be worried about.
Wearing a seat belt in your car isn’t fear, it’s safety.
Checking that your dinner is cooked before you eat it isn’t fear, it’s common sense.
Read MoreMany thanks to all those who have been reading and replying to my recent emails. I’ve had a bumper postbag as they used to say on Blue Peter so before we tackle the final lesson, the biggie, FEAR, let's do a short recap of some of the points people have raised. I’ll try to explain myself differently than I did before...
Read MoreMemento Mori, roughly translated from Latin as 'remember that you must die', is a motto containing great hope. It reminds us that if you can come to terms with death you can deal with anything.
Alas, this is not where our society is. Instead we are simultaneously in both fear and denial of the one thing which none of us can avoid – death.
Read MoreAbout 2400 years ago the wisest man in the world went to a dinner party. His name was Socrates and he was wise, according to the mystical voice of the Oracle of Delphi, because he knew that he knew nothing. The Oracle was supposedly impressed because after being inundated with idiots who claimed to know everything, she recognised that it takes wisdom to admit to ignorance
Read MoreOne of the most precious things is life is that we are all different. Imagine how boring it would be if we were all the same.
Do you remember the internet craze about The Dress a few years ago? You know, what colour is the dress in the picture? Some people thought it was black and blue, others thought it white and gold. Why the disagreement? Because people are different.
