My prayer, meditation and contemplation does not change God's mind. It changes mine. God is Clear, Consistent, Serene and Self-Sufficient. There is nothing to change, re-align or take on-board. He is Complete and One. God cannot be manipulated, nor does He need to be. God is not some distant harsh deity that needs to be... Continue Reading →
Last weekend was world Autism Awareness Day and we marked it in this household. Actually, we celebrated it with another household, an amazing family that had invited us over to a celebration BBQ. Like us, they have an autistic child and wanted to make a celebration of the day. And what a celebration we had!... Continue Reading →
A note to the 'congregation of Believers' otherwise known as 'Church', 'Club', 'Community', 'Fellowship', 'Temple', 'Ashram' etc The tie that binds is defined as the shared belief or other factor that links people together. Surely and ultimately, LOVE should be the only tie that binds us together, not beliefs, doctrines, dogma or creeds. Otherwise, our... Continue Reading →

Some steps need to be taken alone. It’s the only way to really figure out where you need to go and who you need to be. @MotivationApp This quote from @motivationapp is so true. It has been a hallmark of my journey to date. Have you ever felt lonely in a room full of people?... Continue Reading →
The unholy alliance of our ego, body and mind makes us less than whole. The ego body mind alliance is self referencing, self informing and self reinforcing. At its core, this unholy alliance is one built upon and sustained by illusion, insecurity and fear. To restore balance and wholeness, the unholy alliance of ego, body... Continue Reading →
Several months ago, I spent quite a lot of time looking at a photograph of my 2-year old self. I made it a part of my almost daily meditation and reflective practice. Gazing upon the face of my 2-year old self, I wondered at the experiences that have shaped who, what and how I process... Continue Reading →
Living life on purpose is more easily said than done, but it is not impossible. I believe that it is the Father's intention and destiny for each of his own. It is triggered by a heart hungry for meaning, and involves letting go and allowing ourselves to be led through the process of the Father’s... Continue Reading →
I asked God to deliver me from my fears. He did not. Instead, God delivered me from the fear of my fears. In that moment, I found myself. I found freedom. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.John... Continue Reading →
I’m probably not going to win ‘dad of the year’ award for making a tidied up play area a condition for feeding them lunch. But I’m afraid desperate times call for desperate measures! No one told me raising kids could be such a messy, stress inducing untidy affair! It’s so much more worse for a... Continue Reading →
It is -34 degrees outside. It’s been a month since we arrived here in Canada to start a new life, a new adventure. ‘Crazy’ is the word that comes to mind as I sit by the window in reflective mode. I have done and allowed ‘crazy’ things in my life, but this is by far... Continue Reading →
Reading a work of Rupert Spira in 2021, I discovered one of the most powerful prayers I've encountered in a long while. It's a prayer that will resonate with the heart of many a pilgrim in this realm. It goes like this .... May the world for you, lose its power to veil God's presence.... Continue Reading →
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.Martin Luther King Jr. Sometimes, life will guide you with precision and certainty. At other times, you will be seemingly abandoned, left alone to take the next step with no guarantees or blueprints as a guide. In times like those, may faith... Continue Reading →
If God is spirit, then surely God is beyond the reach of ego and the five senses of Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch. I cannot know God in the conventional way of 'knowing'. God can only be experienced and unveiled in me as God. This is the only true knowing of God. My imagination,... Continue Reading →
