A Journey to the Earth and the Higher Self

This is a story about a visualisation journey I took recently, through my minds eye, that lead me to making some amazing and wonderful observations. Its all about visualisation, something am very natural at because of my scientific background, but had never really… Continue

What is Shamanism?

Quoted from Dermot O'Hare's Site, The Celtic Shaman: "The word Shaman comes from a Siberian tribal language describing a man or a woman who is able to enter into altered states…

The Quadrophenia of Life

By Des and Leah.



As people, we are role-players. We play the wife, the husband, the entrepreneur, the artist, the scientist, the angry person, the jealous person, the happy person, the breadwinner, the teacher, the tailor, the soldier, the sailor, and a whole plethora of other roles that separate us from who we truly are. There is no true relationship… Continue

To try to see, understand and feel the perspective of others is a route to compassion. I feel that by developing compassion, we are developing our own spirtuality through better awareness.



To me,

I am you,

you are me



I feel that we do not grow in relationships by pointing out what we see as others flaws in perspective, beliefs or ideas, as this can often be counterproductive - if done with ego-involvement, it is simply a reflection of us trying to strengthen our… Continue

We are interested in the process of learning and not the goal or the product.



As peaceful… Continue

When I look back at my life, I can see that there have been times when I have went from pillar to post where peace and justice issues were concerned. Its his fault, it's her fault, its them that did it, its not my fault, its theirs. It seems that quite often there is someone to blame for our troubles or the troubles in the world. Perhaps it is all of us, all of humanity that are the source of the problems and not any one group or groups of indivuduals?



For centuries there have been… Continue

Finding Peace in Our Lives



By Leah and Des



Sometimes I hear things I don’t agree with and react by trying to correct the one who I feel is wrong. Over time though, I’ve begun to recognise this as me (or my ego) simply wanting to be right whether I am or not LOL The being right and making the other wrong seems to become more important than just trying to understand what the other is saying and feeling. It feels a bit like being taken over by a strange force that… Continue
