Between and Rock and a Hard Place.
Between and Rock and a Hard Place.
Regular readers may have read about the recent CRAZYWISE event back in June. The underpinning theme of Transformation was emphasised by issuing all attendees with Caterpillars and Butterflies, attached to a powerful symbolic story about a man’s misguided attempts to help a caterpillar transform into a butterfly;

Speaking the Unspeakable
Regular visitors here will know that I often write prolifically on mental health, or I did until about 12 month ago. It was then when I could no longer deny that mental illness is mostly the result of a dysfunctional and repressive society that stifles the creative expression and abilities of those who find they cannot thrive within such repressive paradigms. I’d even go as far as to say we are…

Look For Nothing Back
It’s better to light one candle than curse the darkness
How do you keep giving when you have nothing left to give? How do you keep alive when you have nothing to live for? How do you bring purpose to a life that appears meaningless? How to you survive the superficiality of a meaningless life?
You give and keep giving. You look for nothing back. You live for others, they could not imagine life without you, so you live for them. You find purpose by asking the right questions You find the strength to stand back from the crowd……..
and when all else fails you read your own books
and it reminds you how far you have travelled……
Look for Nothing back Look For Nothing Back How do you keep giving when you have nothing left to give?
Transformative CRAZYWISE Event
In a small town in the heart of the beautiful Brecon Beacons in Wales, UK, an event was held that had a transformative affect on many attendees. For a town that usually struggles to attract more than a dozen people to similar public events, we had an astounding attendance of thirty five to forty.
CRAZYWISE made by US Human Rights Photographer and Filmmaker Phil Borges and his colleague Kevin…

Ode to Neha
They looked but did not see you
They listened but did not hear you
There before them you stood in the dirt, your head and body full of lice, rash covered skin and distended tummy – no-one cared you had just lost your Mummy, who had just died, another of India’s anonymous poor.
As if this was not enough to break their hearts you were blind as well
No russet brown reds or golds…

Speaking the Unspeakable
Just imagine for one moment you are a creator of souls. Souls being a tiny seed of pure consciousness. They are your babies. You are vast, you are a multidimensional being that can create and encompasses all there is, has been and ever will be. All possibilities exist in this moment and all around you there are millions of scenarios that one day will be named as past present and future. But it…

Stress and Anxiety
My first memories of severe anxiety and stress occurred during my second primary school. The incident is still clearly etched in my mind. The female teacher, a large lady with a vicious temper, was attempting to teach me knitting; I kept getting it wrong and mis-counting the stitches so she kept me in late at school after everyone else had gone home and I still got it wrong. The more she shouted…

Schizophrenia and Mysticism
The recent celebrated Hay Festival has prompted this blog; having attended a total of 7 events all to a larger or lesser degree focusing on Mental Health Issues. For a number of years, in fact since a catalytic period in my life from 1984 to 1993 I have been on a steep learning curve. The start of which I began to doubt my own psyche and sanity in 1984 to understanding that a profound change…

Addiction? Or Simply Soul Displacement?
Addiction? Or Simply Soul Displacement?
This graphic image illustrates how in one generation we have swung from a World Wide focus on the starvation crisis in Ethiopia as demonstrated by Live Aid and Bob Geldolf’s demands to end poverty and death by starvation in 1985, to a World Wide focus on an obesity crisis. It is clear that comfortable living and improved lifestyle choices has not necessarily enhanced our understanding of…

Messages – but not from God....
I wrote this on holiday in Mexico and forgot about it until now, thought it worth of sharing.
1. Leave me Alone, I am Reaching My Goal. 2. Fuck You! 3. Namaste Bitches! 4. It’s Not Me, It’s You! 5. Keep Fucking and Rock The World!
Nothing subtle then?
This is just a small sample of the T-Shirt messages worn by people I encountered throughout my time in Mexico. They were worn by a combination of tourists from far and wide.
“You’re Stronger Than You Think and Braver Than You Feel.”
That’s…

The Smoke Screen of Life
The Smoke Screen of Life
1990 was a pivotal year for me three years after my marriage collapsed my business began to falter. All my outer material structures were changing but the inner changes were taking longer. I was into my tenth attempt at giving up smoking. My previous attempts had been thwarted by the increased stress levels due to the above, or that was my convenient excuse; ‘the time is not right’ I murmured, as…

De-Programming – Time to Shed Psychological Clutter
What has contributed to enable us to think as we do now? What influences have come to bear upon our once pure and open mind?
Most of us are already aware of the influence of Parents, Culture and Education on our development, but how many of us are aware of the “mind programming” that is occurring in our normal day to day activities such as watching and listening to the news and entertaining…

What is your Mission in Life? Where the soul leads………..
Recent travel here in Mexico has brought me into contact with people who clearly are living their “Mission.” Living one’s mission is not something that is taught to us in school. We are taught the essentials to survive economically but rarely if ever is the soul or spirit included in any information we are given. I realised last evening…

Now for the Joy
Iam truly encompassing a multi-level multidimensional experience here in Mexico. Merida, the capital of Yucatan State in Mexico, is rocking tonight and the esplanade from end to end is full of people dancing of all ages but mostly 50 plus rocking to Mexican Reggae Bands. It’s an incredible sight to watch. My last post presented the “otherside” of Mexico. As regular readers will know this site…

The Cause
OK so I did not plan to be living on U$2.5 per day when I was living frugally in the UK, as I saved enough money to take me away from the UK’s cold and wet winter, with the over hyped, over played season of good spending, with its artificially created expectations that often ends in disappointment and fatigue; but then when has life ever presented me…

Coming back from the local shop this morning as I approached my home and walked up the path for the thousandth time I saw the “butterflies” that the previous tenant had fixed to my bedroom, living room and bathroom windows. i moved here June 2005 having emerged through the journey that inspired the writing of A New Human. In the book which was started in 1998 an incident occured involving a…
