The creation of our universe was not one single moment. It is a continuing and ongoing moment, an eternal unfolding that encompasses ourselves. 25.02.91

This new age, this threshold age, marks our coming of age. Now, we sons and daughters of God withdraw from being petitioners of God. At last we become partners with God.

01.03.91

The true artist and the mystic have much in common. For both delve deep into their inner being, and the deeper they delve – the more focussed they become within their own being – the more they touch and embrace and connect with the deep and never-ending vastness of the ALL.

15.03.91

Is it possible to achieve salvation with a deathbed conversion after a life given to what might be called sin? If the conversion is genuine, then yes, it is – in a sense. The state of our soul at death will determine the state of our existence beyond our withdrawal from our body. So, if we have finally broken through passion and anger and greed and other such ‘sins’, then we shall indeed achieve a serene level beyond the grave. However, we must still ultimately face the consequences of our formerly ‘sinful’ deeds, through karma in later incarnations.

23.03.91

Our past, and our people’s past, must always be with us. But to remember the past with resentment, anger and hatred, is to be forever bound to that past, and is to forever bind the future. That is true for us as individuals, and is true for us as communities and nations.

04.04.91

True free will only exists in how we react and feel about those events external to ourselves. Reality lies within, both in mystic terms, and in terms of true and intimate knowing. What goes on external to ourselves, we can to some extent affect, and to a very great extent can question. It is our inner life that is our Truth, and it is our inner life that determines how we try to affect that outside of ourselves.

10.04.91

One reason the Church grew in its early days, but is not growing now, is not because people then relied on the scriptures, but do not now. It is actually because the spirit of God and the needs of those earlier times required it to expand. Now, however, we are entering a ‘new time’, and this ‘new time’ is not the Church’s time. But it is always God’s time. And always the Breath of God, folded within the undulating patterns of the time, is forever awakening, proclaiming, manifesting the boundless, immeasurable seasons of the heavens.

14.04.91

Undisciplined thoughts affect everything. Undisciplined bodies affect little. Even beyond the realms of this physical earth, our thoughts are not lost; our thoughts endure. Thus, are we accountable beyond imagining. Thus must we forever be mindful of our minds. It is only our minds that make sense of, and give meaning to, the entire universe of matter. We can taint the world we live in with our darker thoughts. Likewise, though we do not realise it, we can taint the higher realms, the very realms of God with our darker selves. We must always take care. We owe nothing less to all of creation itself.

21.04.91

Scriptures must be reinterpreted, because humanities consciousness evolves. As we evolve and learn, so do we enter new depths of understanding. With new depths of understanding, our scriptures must be known anew.

30.04.91

There are many paths to God, so there is just one path to God. Pentecostalism and emotional healing are close to shamanism, whilst the more established church is cerebral. There are the quiet paths, the reflective paths, the rhythmic paths of ritual, the unadorned paths of the ascetics, the ecstatic paths, and yes, the wild paths of the shamans. All are paths leading ultimately to God.

05.05.91

This is a key question. Supposing it could be shown without a shadow of a doubt that the Bible told us to hate people and commit murder. Would we obey? If not, then clearly there is an inner sense of what is right that transcends the Bible and indeed, that transcends all scriptures.

08.05.91

Eating food is not a moral issue. How our eating affects others, who need to eat, is. Sex is not a moral issue. How we handle our relationships, is.

19.06.91

A key question for every Christian since the beginning of the Christian Era, is whether he or she would recognise Christ at the Second Coming. Well, the Second Coming is upon us. Christ is here, working through all those souls who see religion as an inner path or journey. The amazing growth of new spirituality, of religions beginning to recognise the validity of other religions, is the manifestation of Christ coming once again upon our shores. This is a Second Coming Christ who is not One, but who is Everyone.

27.07.91

Our utilitarian buildings are a true reflection of our present view of ourselves. All that matters is that our physical needs are met. The spirit is of no consequence at all. There is, though, a trend now back to harmony and spirit. Prince Charles has been involved in this. We cannot hope to become spiritually fulfilled and spiritually at peace with each other until the buildings we create and the towns and cities we live in reflect that harmony and spirit, until they reflect ourselves.

30.07.91

The prophets of Israel continually made the point that if the people of Israel lived by the Law, in other words, lived ethically, then they would prosper under God. If they did not, then there would ultimately be calamity. This had to be so, because of the bad karma that would inevitably be generated. Now we are in the same situation as was ancient Israel on so many occasions. People now so often do not behave ethically. Oh, they do not always break the law, but you always hear people boasting about how they pulled off this deal or other. People no longer live honourably. Hence the decline of our nation. Until we restore honour and ethics to our everyday dealings, we shall not come out of our present-day morass. In the 19^th century there were undoubtedly unscrupulous people who made fortunes, but nonetheless people were expected to be honourable, and indeed there was a real code of ethics that the aristocracy and the middle classes so often tried to operate by. Deals were made, but when made, a gentleman did not go back on his word. That was the code, even if it was not always adhered to. Do we have any sort of underlying code of ethics these days?

02.08.91

It is not just the physical environment that has to be redressed. It is the ethical as well. The physical environment is the world in which we live and upon which we depend. The ethical arena is actually us ourselves.

02.08.91

The fundamentalist notion that only Christianity is correct, is a latter-day aspect of the notion that only the white European’s culture etc is any good. It is a lingering manifestation of that awful superiority complex that has so bedevilled the world for so long. And not just unique to the Western world. It is a notion that is all but universal in our world.

13.08.92

The higher planes, to which we are all connected, wax and wane with rhythmic seasons of feeling, import and purpose. We will always be remotely affected by these seasons. This is really the heart to which astrology should reach; if it possibly could.

20.08.91

Whether astrology works or not, and I suspect that it is all far more complicated and is intimately linked with the Oneness of the All, in other words everything is connected and so everything affects everything else to a greater or lesser degree. But we must also take into account the rhythms of Gaia, of the planet that is our home.

23.08.91

What is the difference between trusting a psychic about the world, and trusting a scientist who tells us what weird flickers on a monitor screen mean?

16.6.91

The New Age approach to religion does mean an end to feelings of guilt. But it does not mean an end to responsibility. Indeed, because the approach comes from within each individual, the responsibility of the individual for himself and for the environment around him or her is immense.

01.10.91

The holistic approach is a healing process in all sorts of ways. It is a healing of the intellectual fragmentation of Western society that has been so extraordinary, yet also so damaging.

10.10.91

A mark of this new threshold age is people taking responsibility for their own lives and for each other.

18.10.91

Symptoms, be they medical, social or political, are symbols of underlying and fundamental truths about ourselves. Our task, as always, is to unravel their meaning, to get into the truth that they are displaying for us.
