Silence At the start of November, I made a goal to write an article every day for November, which I completed to the day. The natural tendency would have been to continue, however, I decided to try out silence for a few days after. It was only because I wrote down the goal and stayed focus on it, at rising and before going to sleep which made the goal of writing a post every day a success. It confirms the power of the written word and even though it might seem like an easy…

Rishikesh While looking through the Pexels site for a photo to use in my article, I came across a picture which took me back some 20 years ago. I spent six months in India and a large part of my time was at the foothills of the Himalayas. I went to Rishikesh to visit the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram which is where the Beatles stayed while learning Transcendental Meditation with the Maharishi. When I got to the Ashram and went to the main entrance there was a guard there who…
Cold Shower With my last article, I was thinking about my time in India some 20 years ago. It's funny how you get complacent sometimes when you travel and take unnecessary risks. I remember staying in the jungle and being offered to go searching for tigers. I was assured it was safe as the two guides had a stick each. So you would go walking on a path a look for any tigers. So what exactly would we do if we found one? For those that know cats, they can climb a tree, they can…
Time For Change As Saturn (looks like a "h" in the image) and Jupiter (looks like the number 4) move into Aquarius and becoming conjunct it's a perfect climax to the year 2020. They are both moving from the Earth element to the Air element. There is many an Astrologer and Astronomer commenting on this and for good reason. The Great or Grand Jupiter and Saturn conjunction occurs every 200 years and is within an 800-year cycle. To explain the cycle I need to explain first, why…
I know In my last article, I spoke of the times are a-changin'. We are moving from the element of "Earth" to the element of "Air". What that means can be explained quite simply. The age of Pisces is defined as "I Believe" and the age of Aquarius is "I Know". It might sound like the same thing but it's in no way the same thing. The last 200 years have been about beliefs. For the next 200 years, we move into knowing. The knowing comes from our conscious mind penetrating the…
Thanks George Whenever I discuss the cosmos there is a lot of resistance and that is mainly due to religious beliefs and only believing in what is real. What is real, well that's a whole conversation in itself. I have been working with the mind since the early 1980s. When George Harrison from the Beatles mentions in the movie Yellow Submarine that "It's All In The Mind", I started investigating the mind. This journey has led me through many many books (no internet back…
Guru Secret We are in a time for disclosure and institutions and all hierarchical organisations are starting to feel this. None more so than the Catholic Church with so many abuse claims coming out. A hint with the Church is that the Priests go to **semin**ary school. It doesn't stop there though and I will focus on the Guru's. There is a book which came out in 2020 "Premka: White Bird in a Golden Cage: My Life with Yogi Bhajan", this book has upset the Kundalini Yoga…
New Year Resolutions We are coming to that time of the year when we start setting goals for the next year. It's a great idea and can be very successful. What you need to realise is that the mind and ego will as easily help you set these goals as they will help you fail at those goals. This should not stop you from setting those goals however, you need to understand that any goal you set will have to be worked on daily. Try setting three goals which you would like to achieve…
Uluru Activation I live in Australia and interesting enough that there will be an Uluru Activation Ceremony on the Monday 21st of December 2020. This will coincide with the Grand/Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn which will occur in Aquarius. There is a black box which has been placed in Uluru with crystals and will be activated at the time of the conjunction. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. I respect the Aboriginal people and they have been on this land…
Strange Days Indeed Well, I have had a few strange days. It started with a car accident near where I work. It was not a serious accident and more of an inconvenience as this is a time when it's difficult to book things in before New Year. After the initial shock of being hit in the car, I managed to stay calm, gather my thoughts and be really nice to the other person. We were meant to meet in the most unusual way and I don't know what is currently happening in their life…
