The Final Conflict

Fri, 4 Jul 2008 13:27:05 GMT

Last night I had an out of body experience.

One minute I was lying down and the next I was aware of myself hovering over my physical body then I was off and moving freely. Then I noticed this formless entity beside it. It was the most terrifying-looking and ugliest thing I'd ever dreamed of. It growled at me and then reached out with what looked like arms to grab me. Unfortunately for the poor sod, I wasn't impressed by his scare tactics. In fact I thought it was a pretty cool Halloween costume. I said to it, "I love you." I had the distinct impression that the entity was horrified I wasn't taking it seriously. The entity then dissolved into formless energy and vanished from my experience. more >

The Game of Healing and Channelling

Thu, 3 Jul 2008 11:59:03 GMT

When I heard a pastor famous for his healing crusades was having a meeting in London, I asked my mother if she was attending. She said she wasn't going to bother as it's too much hassle. Besides there is no need to travel anywhere since God is everywhere. I was very happy to hear that my mother is realising that her healing is in her own hands; it's a matter of whether she's open to receive any time and anywhere. more >

The Voice of Innocence

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:14:06 GMT

Yesterday I met a friend on the bus. He told me about a well-being festival he was involved in which was on later that day and the following day. I promised to attend the following day.

When I checked the festival flyer my friend had given me, I saw that they were going to have talks and advice by medical experts and alternative healing practitioners. As I'm not really into any of that stuff, I had misgivings about attending. But something told me I needed to be there. I decided to go later that evening. I arrived around 6 pm.

My friend was happy to see me. After we'd exchanged hugs I had a look around the stalls. They had books about health matters and black spirituality, clothes, jewellery and health potions, which I'm not into. I noticed two guys chatting. One said he knew me from somewhere. He told me where we'd met before. I vaguely remember speaking to him about 2 or 3 years ago at a bus stop. The man he was speaking to excused himself and I continued chatting to him. It turned out to be a very interesting dialogue. Here are the highlights.

Why Is the Illusion So Bloody Painful?

Mon, 9 Jun 2008 11:02:48 GMT

So I wasn't paying attention where I was going and my shoulder bumped against the edge of the wall. At first it hurt like hell then I immediately reversed the pain by saying to myself that "Love is all there is." The pain instantly vanished.

One could argue that since there is only Love going on and it's all good, any experience not in harmony with Love's intent, such as an injury, is an illusion. In that case, why was the illusion so bloody painful?

Man's Inalienable Right to Be a Sheep or Goat

Mon, 2 Jun 2008 12:47:05 GMT

Two days ago, I heard in the news that the government are proposing to outlaw cigarette vending machines in order to discourage children from smoking. They are also considering removing cigarettes from shop display. Smokers are protesting that this would infringe on their right to smoke.

I can see both sides of the argument. Although I used to be a staunch anti-smoker, I also very much respected the right of the smoker, as long as they weren't smoking near me. When I realised cigarettes had no power to harm me, I wasn't bothered any more; though I did prefer to be in smoke-free environments. Smoking has now been banned in all public places in England. Banning cigarettes vending machines does seem a bit extreme. Surely, smokers do have the right to have access to their cigarettes? more >

Just Because I've Made My Bed Doesn't Mean I Have to Lie in It

Yesterday I read a report about the actress, Sharon Stone's comment about the recent Chinese earthquake.

"I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans, because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else," Stone, a prominent supporter of the Dalai Lama and Tibetan rights, told Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News Thursday at an event during the Cannes Film Festival.

"And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you're not nice, that the bad things happen to you?" -- Great Wall Between China and Sharon Stone

Everything Always Works Out for the Best

Wed, 7 May 2008 14:12:11 GMT

My mother's friend passed away recently. When she found out when the funeral was, she wondered how she was going to get to the church and the cemetery.

As I was walking home a few nights ago, a car pulled up beside me and a passenger asked me if I knew where a particular road was. I knew the road was in our neighbourhood but I couldn't remember where exactly. So I apologised and told the man I didn't know where it was. When I arrived home, I asked my mother if she knew where the road was. She said she'd seen it but couldn't remember where. more >

Going Green

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:33:24 GMT

"Mother," I asked, "why don't you teach others the method of living without food?"

My ambitious hopes for the world's starving millions were nipped in the bud.

"No." She shook her head. "I was strictly commanded by my guru not to divulge the secret. It is not his wish to tamper with God's drama of creation. The farmers would not thank me if I taught many people to live without eating! The luscious fruits would lie uselessly on the ground. It appears that misery, starvation, and disease are whips of our karma which ultimately drive us to seek the true meaning of life."

"Mother," I said slowly, "what is the use of your having been singled out to live without eating?"

"To prove that man is Spirit." Her face lit with wisdom. "To demonstrate that by divine advancement he can gradually learn to live by the Eternal Light and not by food." --- Autobiography of a Yogi

So my mother noticed that one of her many clocks had stopped working. Presumably, the battery had run out. She said she was going to check if she had any spares. The next morning I noticed she hadn't changed the batteries so I figured, why not charge the batteries?

I channelled energy to the batteries and the clock started ticking away. I then corrected the clock. When I showed mum her clock was working she asked me what I'd done.

"I charged the batteries," I said.

Mum gave me that "my daughter is mad" stare that' I've become accustomed to. At least the clock is now working. more >

Reality TV

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:17:29 GMT

So my mother and I were watching a documentary on television called Seaside Rescue about lifeboat crew who rescue people at sea. There were swimmers and surfers who had been caught in the waves and waiting to be rescued.

Why the Inner Critic is Now My Greatest Ally

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:09:22 GMT

The other night, my mother and I watched some documentary on television about kids who were geniuses, and they made a big deal about how special these kids were.

"We are all geniuses in our own right," I said.

"You're right," mum said.

"Take you, for example, you make the best stews in the whole world," I said. "In my opinion, that's pure genius."

Mum smiled.
