Spiritual Enlightenment is the powerful process of opening up to Love - the Love we are, have always been and always will be. Spiritual Enlightenment is a very beautiful process. However, Spiritual Enlightenment is also a painful and frightening process because in order to open up to Love we need to open up to the pain, fear and guilt that have bound us and denied us access to Love - to our Beauty, Peace and Power as spiritual beings. Opening up to pain, fear and guilt means re-experiencing these emotions in the fullness and the intensity of their power, for ...

I would like to share a brief summary of my soon to be published book, A Return To My Soul. The book will be published with Balboa Press, a division of Hay House. Please feel free to share your comments below. At its core, A Return to My Soul provides a unique, first-hand glimpse into the ‘inner’ processes of deep and profound Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment, and the ways in which this powerful experience has dramatically changed my life. In 1999, in a country on the other side of the world that had long been my new home, my marriage broke ...

You’ll find the idea of ‘instant manifesting’ spread across the internet in the wake of the famous book, and film of the same name, The Secret. I’ve received many emails from people who offer advice on how to manifest the greatest happiness, health, confidence, success and wealth you could ever want in the most magic of ways, NOW. I think, when presented this way that the idea of manifesting has been blown up into a grand notion that provides instant gratification, and as such it reflects an impatience that seems to characterise the modern, industrialised world, where we have become ...

The eyes are often described as “the window to the soul”. What does this saying really mean? If we are a body with a Soul does our Soul shine through our eyes? And is it possible to see another person’s Soul when we look into their eyes? If you want to gain a theoretical understanding of the Soul you’ll find a wide range of definitions of the Soul presented in the writings of Ancient Greek philosophers, as well as in most spiritual literature. Although there appears to be a common view that the Soul represents the ‘essence’ or non-material ...

Fear casts a spell on us, often without us realising it. Suddenly its there, and we don’t know exactly how it happened. Before we even have time to wonder where it came from, fear has thrown its heavy blanket over us and we’re suffering. So how does this work, and what IS fear anyway? In simple terms, fear can be described as “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger”. Impending danger may be real or imagined, but the body’s physiology will respond to a real threat or an imagined one in exactly the same way with an increased dose of adrenalin, ...

The Poetry of Love is not seen in the dark recesses of your mind, but in the warming glow of the rising sun as it spreads it’s golden rays across the mighty earth. The Poetry of Love is not heard in the negative rumblings of others, but in the soft whisperings of a summer breeze as it caresses all with its gentle touch. The Poetry of Love is not felt in pangs of rage, guilt or fear, but in the inner chambers of your heart where passion, beauty and peace reside.

Spiritual experience can come in many forms, and the experience itself can differ from person to person. A spiritual experience can come in an instant and disappear as quickly as it came, or it can be lasting. Whatever the case, it’s natural to want to have a ‘head’ understanding of the experience, and to share one’s experience of ‘spirit’ with others. In order to understand each other we need terms of reference that give common meaning to personal experience. In the world of spirituality, however, common terms of reference are not so easy to relate to. Different spiritual terms ...

We all want to be happy, healthy and successful, and to live our lives with a sense of personal fulfillment. However, such a desire seems to be asking for both the moon and the stars, and there is no shortage of people who would like to suggest that such an ambitious desire is unrealistic, if not impossible to realize. When confronted by the doubts of others it is easy to become confused; to let other’s doubts become our doubts; to let limiting beliefs cast a dark shadow that settles over our heartfelt desires so that we feel distanced from them and ...
