Repeated apologies for one thing, where the cause is not brain dysfunction, are merely excuses for not caring enough to remedy the cause, and thus an indication of selfishness.…

Why do we celebrate birth and mourn death? When we embark on a journey do we not celebrate the completion not the embarkation?

Ω

Since I neopt the mind and the soul as one and the same thing it is time for me to coin a word to take the place of both. For the sake of easier identification and/or association by the reader I have chosen “moul”.…

When the road gets rough the wise want to know why and, having heard, seek confirmation within.

When the road is smooth the wiser want to know why and, having heard, seek confirmation within.

Whether the road is rough or smooth the ignorant await wisdom.…

The mind/soul is like a box that is full of possessions which we have acquired and, as we get enlightened, the six sides of the box disappear so that the possessions fall out and away and we are able to see out.…

The Apostle, Peter, is said to have asked Jesus, “Whither goest thou, Lord?” and this question in Latin is “Quo vadis, Domini?”. However, the language used by Jesus and Peter would have been Aramaic, hence neither of the above is strictly correct.…

The mind/soul is a conglomeration of experiences that alters with the passage of each moment. Spirit is unchanging.

Ω

The mind, which is the part of the soul active in each Earth life, creates the Earth experiences of the spirit entity. Thus, it creates the individual experience as well as the collective experience.

Note: This is the cause of everything from climate change, to profligacy, to suffering etc.…

Spiritual progress is to do with the reduction, and eventual elimination, of self-gratification whilst human effort in science and technology is to do with the perpetuation and increase of self-gratification.…

Disease, the result of dis-ease, is created by us from our state of mind or mentality and this happens in many ways of which here are two: 1. Through the influence of the “Thought Field” (our mentality) on the “Life Field” (the energy field, or blueprint, controlling the body) and 2. Through the effect of all the unnatural products and scientific devices which…

If we intuitively accept the truth of something does it matter by whom it was said or when?

Ω

Spiritual growth is not about knowledge; it is about becoming a better person. There are many who have acquired great knowledge yet use or used it to exploit others: this is not spiritual growth.…

By way of menting, blisstasy is the state of being of Spirit or its attributes. By way of neoption Spirit, or its attributes, is blisstasy.

Ω

Love is a manifestation of that selfless state of being that is the state of Spirit or blisstasy. It is an emotional image of the selfless state which we give and receive etc. when on Earth and in the slower vibrations in between Earthly sojourns. It is a tool of the Soul but not of Spirit.…

What is hidden by the mind one cannot see.

One cannot learn what one cannot see.

So, draw back the curtain that is the mind.…

The vibrational ‘descent’ of Spirit, us spirits, into matter, which I have allegorically described in The Milk Is White, is cyclical in the sense that after the initial descent, termed the fall of man by some, most of us as souls persist with the pursuit of sensory and mental pleasure and therefore return to Earth to unlearn this persistence while those who…

For a long time I had been dissatisfied with the words joy, bliss, love etc. as a description of what really exists at a spiritual level. One morning, when lying in bed in the hynopompic state of being between sleep and wakefulness, thought started flowing to resolve this search and I let it flow. I saw clues like that state of serene being which is non-emotional…

When our feelings are hurt we are inclined to ment or say, “You hurt my feelings”. That would be incorrect as what we should say is, “My feelings got hurt”. 

We cannot blame another for our doing.…

If we assume that in their time the Buddha and the Christ were the only “messengers” on Earth, that the population of the Earth at that time was one million, and that such “messengers” appeared thereafter in proportion to the population, we would have on Earth today six thousand “messengers”.

There certainly are a large number at…

Paradoxically, the growth of the Soul results in its elimination but with the fruition of the Spirit in all its glory.
