Inner Journeys: Explorations of the Soul started as as an idea that I shared one day at a workshop with Dolores ashcroft-Nowicki. To my utter amazement, she thought it was a fabulous idea and she encouraged me from start to finish..

The concept was to write about what brought me to a 5-year course with the SOL that involved meditation every day more or less for those 5-years. So, despite the fact I am really a nobody, the book is strongly autobiographical but I hope that in it people see shared experiences.

The second half of the book are the real experiences I had with the course including how I learned to relax, meditate effectively and what I learned about myself in those moments of deep meditation.

I used extracts from my own ‘magical’ diary to reinforce my account of these experiences and insights because, often, after a meditation session, I found myself temporarily in a different and much clearer frame of mind. The diary extracts I think demonstrate this.

At the end of the day, I see the book as hopefully something that new and existing students will find useful, humorous, truthful and encouraging.

The Hexagram Book

And…. big and loud drum roll…the book is FINISHED. A joint effort with SC Vincent, I am really happy with the final manuscript so now we just need to get it published – stay tuned…

And talking about publishers. A small occult book publisher called Datura Press is trying to raise some money to take its business to the next level. The publisher has been turning out material from Dolores ashcroft-Nowicki amongst others and this is important work. I would kindly ask you in the next few days to visit and donate a few bob… go here

The Trained Mind

I just wasted an hour of my life on Youtube. I put in the term “UFO” and then clicked one video after another usually quitting the video just a few minutes – or less – into it. The internet is an amazing thing. It truly does allow anyone to propose theories, viewpoints and even their own particular mania. It is also endlessly confusing. The problem with the internet is simply this… usually there is little or no way to determine the expertise (and mental sanity) of the poster and so you have no idea whatsoever about the reliability of the post unless you happen to be reading material upon which you are an expert.

Let me give a few examples. It wasn’t long in my video hopping before I stumbled upon a popular subject – 2012 alien Invasion…. it seems popular because there are thousands of sites and videos on the topic. I was somewhat intrigued by this possibility I must admit but then saw something else – predictions that London 2012 Games will be the venue for such an invasion. Even stranger I thought but then… hundreds of sites and videos on Fake 2012 Alien Invasion at London Olympics…. OK – I pick perhaps a strange and far fetched topic to start with but on the one hand there are people who believe and perhaps feel they have some evidence (?) that an alien invasion will occur in 2012. Then there are those conspiracy theorists who turn this on its head stating that this will take place but…. it’s fake and is an attempt to make us all agree to a new world order and a single government….

Poems for the little room

OK – I had a dream the other night about how people buy books for their toilets…. and I thought well, there is an idea…. a book for the little room! So I went ahead and pulled together a bunch of poems and photos and there you go…. Poems for the little room.

Its Lulu.com so a bit pricey but who knows…. may be it will go viral?
