ONE
Here is a relevant extract from my book The Milk Is White.
CHAPTER 8 - REALISATIONS
Realisation is revelation - it is as if the dust and debris of time are swept away and the shining Truth is revealed. What is 'seen', 'known', 'identified with' in a…

The dream of the tiled floor.
The dream of the tiled floor.
Preamble.
In The Milk Is White I wrote in reference to spiritual growth:
What we do as we move forward can be compared to us laying down paving as we absorb and apply various principles and as we shed our negative aspects and attitudes and replace them with new and positive ones. The path itself…

The inadequacy of the word "love".
The inadequacy of the word "love".
Consider these truths first:
a) Love and hate are emotions - reactions of the mind.
b) We can love someone so much that we can hate another sufficiently to kill them if they threaten the loved one! In this world of duality, "love" has its opposite "hate", with both having degrees of intensity and,…

Resonate.
The suitability of the word resonate in the context in which it is used in spiritual circles is profound, keeping in mind that everything is energy (spirit) in vibration.
Superficially anyway, a person resonating with the meaning of words implies a vibration of unison, of harmony; thus a oneness wherein the existence of the one…

Hope. (1)
Hope can be a positive state of mind, when it is maintained as a general attitude to life; or a grasping at straws, when it is aimed at a specific want or perceived need.

Time and the Teacher.
“When the time is right the teacher arrives” is the saying but the “teacher” is information, and this information “arrives” by divers means; means such a book, a person, hearing, sight, neoption and so on, but we should not honour the means because to honour the means is to risk focusing on the means instead of the objective. For instance we can focus on the book,…

Co-creators of the Universe.
The Great Spirit created the universe, we are part of the Great Spirit ["one with God" is one expression], hence we are co-creators and we, therefore, created the universe* . . . . . and perhaps more!
* see also "We as Co-creators (with God.") in The Milk is White.…

Love – and that other.
There is love, the emotion, and there is that which is commonly termed love but which is actually an expression of selflessness manifesting as what appears to be love. Emotional love has degrees of self, ranging from extreme selfishness to human selflessness whilst what is commonly termed love, but is not love as such, is a spiritual state of being whose qualities…

Oddities and Aberrations.
According to the Cayce readings, when some of us spirits were in the process of getting enmeshed in the Earthly dimension we interfered with the structure of physical things by the use of our creative ability.
The result of this was, for example, trees with arms and anatomically mixed animal forms some of which included…

Contentment – a metaphor.
When in life the sun appears not to shine on you, remember that above the clouds it shines day and night.
