Much has been written about “being in the now”, mindfulness, “being in the moment”, etc. I am going to add my personal experience of this wonderful topic and accessing that state of being here. There are many ways to “access” higher consciousness, which is our natural state – being in the moment is just one. …
Sustaining a spiritual path in the world in which we live requires that we use all the tools at our disposal. One of the most valuable of those tools is the study of spiritual lessons. I learned this many years ago in a previous activity where study was highly recommended. For Ascended Master students this …
In light of my recent post on duality and polarisation, have you noticed the increase in division in society around the world? One religion against another, one race against another, one political persuasion against another, rich vs poor etc., etc., and all in ever-increasing frustration and outrage. All of these parties have at least one …
Following on from my previous post about duality and polarisation I would like to take a look at duality and extremism. Extremism occupies a position on the continuum of polarisation and is usually seen in the context of views held and maybe even actions taken on social, political and religious beliefs. The people who are …
The world of duality comes in many flavours and degrees. At the present time we are witnessing a dramatic increase in polarisation – positive on the one hand and negative on the other. On the spiritual level an example of the positive side is the increase in the number of people working for the good …
Time does not currently permit posting as much as I would like to but I must “put pen to paper” to begin a new year of writing. The world faces many serious challenges at the present time but the greatest is surely the challenge of getting enough souls with a clear vision of a brighter, …
Duality, self, ego; to dwell with the Self is enhanced more by the precious commodity of time which we now have in more abundance. Time feels like it has slowed down as a result of the lockdowns and management of a pandemic. The planet is breathing, mother nature has shown that mankind is not truly …
I wish a Happy New Year to all my readers everywhere! Thank you for using the site. I hope you have found something to make your journey easier and more interesting. Writing the posts has been beneficial for me also. I would like to write more frequently but I hope that the current pace is …
Truth is said to be the first casualty of war but really it is so severely compromised in today’s world that people generally have lost it as a reference point for their thoughts and actions. There is propaganda, spin, false advertising, false presentation of facts, inversion, omission, the adherence to narrative instead of facts etc. …
There is a journey that people undertake every day and most probably don’t realise it. It is an internal journey and while we can chose whether to make it or not, for most it is an involuntary one. Prior to a journey taking place we have a starting point; in this case we will take …
Does duality have a purpose? The world is “full” of it – is there any benefit from it? Is it time to find a better way of being? Before discussing any purpose it may have I would like to describe duality in action in our lives, in the world. Duality allows us to see ourselves …
Re.: I AM Presence Very interesting material. Regarding the “i am presence”, to identify with an unencumbered self is a very pure experience and a rare experience for some. The notion of removing layers of baggage and eventually peeling back to one’s pure essence of light, clarity and love, which must be as the creator …
I would like to address the topic of freedom, something that I think is in decline in the world. How do people normally define freedom? From the media it can be inferred that people see freedom as being able to say whatever it is that they desire to say and the freedom to do whatever …
Before discussing the lie in unworthiness it would be helpful to look at the apparent truth in it. It seems logical that if we err in some way that we may or should be subject to feelings of unworthiness. In the hypothetical example of someone who has, shall we say, made a serious error in …
The Ascended Masters speak of our I Am Presence, more commonly known as our Higher Self. So what is our Higher Self and why would we refer to it as our I AM Presence? Our Higher Self is the aspect of us that always remains pure, beyond the dominant duality consciousness of earth, beyond all …
The Ascended Masters speak of our four lower bodies. Starting at the “lowest” these are the physical, emotional, mental and identity bodies. These are the levels that are especially relevant to our work while in a physical body. While it is important to work on all four levels as much as possible there is a …
If you have not already found it, find your key – that spiritual quality that you can regard as your specialty. It might be Peace, Joy, Purity, Love, Silence, Empathy etc. It is something that you can really feel as opposed to being a charachteristic like loyalty, commitment, being dependable, a good listener etc. Experiencing …
Q. [ Being posed by the author ] If the priorities of a human being, and especially a spiritual seeker, could be expressed as one single priority, what would that priority be? What would the one single most important thing to be achieved in life be, regardless of our gender, race, religion or any other …
When I first thought about writing this post I considered using “four cornerstones” in the title but it turned out to be inadequate. On deeper reflection I saw that there were seven requirements that were essential to consistently propel a seeker forward on their path. Desire Desire is the most fundamental requirement in order to …

I would like at the very beginning of this project to begin by looking at the practice of many spiritual seekers of viewing themselves as sinners and the probable consequence of feeling unworthy. I don’t wish to be unnecessarily dramatic; what I mean by “sinners” is the habit of viewing ourselves as being flawed, as …
