Free Will

David Cammegh explores the idea that our concept of ‘Free Will’ prevents a true sense of happiness, suggesting that it has superseded our old sense of where we belong. Just like any addictive drug, Free Will hooks us and propels us down a spiral of desire and want, to eventual disappointment and disillusionment.Have we truly lost our sense of connection with ‘All Things’? Once we were at ‘One’ in the great realm of Unity, like a drop in the sea. And because we were a drop in the sea and the sea is the sea – the same everywhere – we were both …

Spirituality - Our Gift From God

The situation on our planet today is a grave one. Gaia’s natural resources, offered to us so generously, have been so deeply burglarised, giving rise to so many crises, that there is no guarantee that we will necessarily survive this century. Certainly, there is little chance if we continue in our old, cold, scapegoating, patriarchal ways where we respect reason above heart, competition over compassion and cooperation, and continue to spend our limited resources on ever more ingenious ways to destroy ourselves. Psychotherapist and spiritual coach …

Natural Born Seeker

Kate Osborne spends time with Shirley MacLaine, tapping into the vast reservoir of her spiritual experiences covering health, education, the environment and the human potential movement. We open up to the passion and curiosity that this accomplished individual brings to the search for the truth and purpose at the heart of our being. Now she is in her 70s I asked Shirley if this life-long pursuit for her truth has left her feeling happy with what she’s uncovered, or isolated. SM 'I am always ten years ahead, so that makes me lonely. It has a sense of "God, does anybody know …

Think Big

Could changing just one belief put an end to war, eradicate poverty, save the environment, create genuine community, show us who we really are, make us happy, free us from selfi shness, let us love our enemies, wake us up to the miracle of this moment, create a world of wonderful new possibilities and transform life into the exquisite celebration of existence we all long for it to be? Author Tim Freke may have the answer . Our world is very beautiful, but extremely messed up. We face so many seemingly …

Return of the Maverick

Having been pushed out to the extreme fringe, David Icke is back to talk about his revelations to Karen Sawyer. In unearthing his spiritual development we uncover inspirational ideas that now resonate with a much larger audience who have a greater understanding of the need to fulfil their human potential. My passion is understanding reality and how we create it. Whenever I think of this universe, I see a doughnut shape going round and round. This gives us the illusion of time moving forward from the past, but …

The Enneagram - our blueprint for life

Relationships are a wonderful source of love, fun and companionship; they give us the opportunity to look at ourselves and to grow as human beings. Without them, we` would not have the variety and richness we need. Veronica Croft uncovers an ancient teaching that maps out a brighter future for humanity through a deeper understanding of ourselves, and the way we relate to each other.

Fear Not

As the UK’s best-loved medium, Gordon Smith combines a reputation for uncanny insight with a real down-to-earth manner that makes him very approachable. The overriding sense one gets from speaking to him is that of a man at ease with himself and his life, and very much at home in this world. It is the desire to instil that same sense of ease in others by removing the shackles of fear that inspires him today.Gordon reckons that most people who come to him for a private reading are feeling disconnected from the person they have lost. ‘They …

Show Up For Life!

Dr Jude Currivan PhD puts out a contemporary spiritual war-cry, and she is finally being heard as more of us choose to remember who we really are. Kindred Spirit: With your experience of conventional life, what advice can you give the vast majority who still have to function at that level, to go about the process of spiritual emergence? Is it even possible to embrace the path to best self and still function within the matrix? Jude Currivan: Most of my workshop participants and students at my healing classes are fully involved in conventional business lives, as I was for 25 years, so I do …

Maintaining Optimism in the Modern World

Many would consider a perpetually optimistic person – especially in the light of current events – as deranged or living in the world of the absurd. However, leading life as a pessimist does not appear to be a viable option, if one intends to gain a deeper understanding of life. The question then is: How can one practise authentic optimism in a world that seems so full of despair? I put this and other questions to David L. Gardiner PhD, Associate Professor of Religion at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, who sheds light on what at first glance …

Brain Writing

Whatever the style of writing – elegant or a hurried scrawl, it reveals much about the inner self. Amazingly, it is possible for a trained graphologist to create a detailed character analysis from a single piece of handwriting – a ‘snapshot’ of the way we were feeling at the time of writing. What is revealed is a unique insight into the personality, intellect, working qualities, physical/mental health and much more. Joyce Parkinson, MBIG (Dip) explains the hidden meaning behind the writing on the page. It may not occur to many people but handwriting is as unique as …

Caroline Myss on Mystics

For Caroline Myss, becoming a mystic is not a path of retreat, it is about having the courage to live the life our soul wants, the courage to follow our inner calling, rather than the ego’s demands for recognition, admiration, and a shiny spiritual aura. Daily practice for a would-be mystic is in letting go of the resentments and toxicity that are preventing our progress, stifling our intuition, and blocking the voice of the divine. It’s about dropping rivalry of the ego, swallowing our pride in everyday situations and retrieving a workable solution instead of scoring …
