Fancy being a Shaman? Perhaps not.

Today I came across a fantastic article by Galina Krasskova. A somewhat unusual article, Devotion is a Warrior’s Art touches on a number of important areas. One area I want to highlight today is this, and I quote: I worry when I encounter people who are drawn to the idea of being a God-servant or [...]

Fix the problems on the inside, then the rest takes care of itself.

The antics of the Christian churches never cease to provide food for thought, especially bearing in mind how many people are affected by them. Recently we read of : Ute beauty: $1.5m to promote Jesus One of the key aspects of this is that the Churches are trying to get people to focus on Jesus, [...]

Shamanism and personal development

One could say that Shamanism is humankind’s [...]

Personal Anecdote – knowledge of physical problem.

Just recently I was working away on my computer, vaguely aware that my wife was talking to a friend on her cell phone. My ears pricked up when I heard her talking about the friend’s severe muscular pain. Immediately, I started to receive information from Spirit about the situation. I saw in my mind’s eye a [...]

Another personal anecdote – photo reading.

Some readers will be aware that I read photos. Simply speaking, what I mean by reading photos is that I can look at a picture of someone and know things about the person which are not revealed by the body language, expression, clothing or context of the photograph. Things I become aware of can be [...]

Foreknowledge – personal anecdote

Recently, just prior to the Samoan tsunami and Indonesian earthquakes, I commented to my wife that I had received a very strong awareness that large scale** death was coming upon the world.

Mummies and housewives busy snorting cocaine

Years ago – gosh; I’m showing my age now – one of the few things I liked about school was the ‘yummy mummies’. Back in those days the mummies had more time to be mummies and enjoy life. I remember how much more relaxed mummies looked back then. Many looked a lot smarter too. Today, [...]

Inner qualities come from Spirit.

There is a lot of ‘badness’ which springs from within us. Circumstances, such as fatigue, can exacerbate this. We are frail and weak in ourselves. In Spirit there are unlimited strength, wisdom, love and other qualities – available to us. We are channels on earth – for good or evil. Our natural state tends towards [...]

Double standards

Religious thought is such an interesting thing – a fascinating thing – how it can affect people’s minds – twist them, make them feel “holier than thou”. Today I read about how the Salvation Army has apologized to the sex industry for offense caused by their advertising. Salvation Army apologises to sex workers Jesus himself [...]

Embrace truth – even if it hurts.

Many years ago I realized some key things about truth. Truth: Is like a sword – it cuts. Can hurt, sometimes very badly. Is like a bright light shining in the darkness. Is something many of us run from. Is often hidden beneath layer after layer of lies. Upsets people. Can get you killed. Can [...]

Do we want to learn to fish?

Helping people is very rewarding in many ways. It is even more rewarding to help people help themselves. To teach them how to fish. I have what some people would call psychic abilities and some would label me as a ‘Psychic’. For example, I am good at ‘reading’ photographs, physical items and at times hear [...]
