Manchester in tears, yet another attack and more senseless violence. I breathe in and I breathe out. Manchester is in chaos as intense energies and raging wings storm the planet whilst some are still sleeping. Is there any sense to be made of this event? In times of upheaval, people seek answers and seek comfort in a higher…

Animals (including the human being) have two guiding polarities and co-creating energies called masculine and feminine. These energies are unfolded within each being. In the external world, they fuse and synthesise in the sexual union between male and female, as well as in sexual unions between any grouping of people (notably including gay and lesbian). The…

In my feeling-body, I have an awareness–call it being mindful of the sensation or lightness of being. My feeling-body is that essence of personality and feeling that I carry with me wherever I go. In this space of feeling, resides my inner child, because it is this energy that we have carried with us since…

When I was much younger, I remember being mesmerised by adult interactions. Not for the content, what interested me more was the emotional responses. I couldn’t understand why certain ideas would create vehement emotions, often with seemingly instantaneous and irrational exuberance.

While times of change and upheaval may seem negative, there are far more potential positives to initiate, depending on one’s perception. It has been surprising how pessimistic some have felt about Donald Trump’s win. Alarmists have even…

It has been interesting to follow America’s election and aftermath. Whilst times of change and upheaval may seem negative, there are far more potential positives to initiate, depending on one’s perception. It has been surprising how pessimistic some have felt about Trump’s win. Also how many people are still being taken in by the media,…

In a climate of pessimism, spiritual mercenaries of the new age appeal to the hopes and dreams of the despairing. How do we judge capitalism in a spiritual context and the materialism often seen amongst a new breed of people wanting to “manifest” fast cars and luxury travel? What kind of thinking is perpetuating the…

I am that. I am that man who doubts. I am that man who wants to fit in. I am that man who wants to express himself. I am that man who wants to leap free of uncertainty. I am the rich man and the poor man. I was deeply diving into a yoga stretch yesterday…
