From time to time I find myself wondering whether our age merely recycles questions concerning consciousness, perception, and what it means to be human, that older traditions contemplated through a different lens. Again and again a recurrent thought returns to me running something like this: what if the mind functions less as a creator of…

The current narrative of climate change rests upon a singular, anthropocentric premise: that human industry alone has disrupted Earth’s delicate equilibrium. Yet this view neglects the vast, impersonal forces that have shaped our planet’s climate for eons, forces far more potent than any human activity. Long before the first cities rose, before the first fires…

The stars trace their silent paths across an expanse without end, their motion stirring unseen currents in the ether.

Neither static nor bound by…
There is deep wisdom in walking towards the very thing you have been taught to avoid. The shadow, namely those aspects of yourself buried in shame, fear, and denial, holds the key to your freedom. To reject that which binds you to this plane of existence is to remain fragmented, repeating ancestral wounds and karmic…
The 10th March as Venus Completes It is a strange light that shines on that space between spaces, where time is suspended and space is meaningless. The pressure that has been building within is released, leaving you tired yet curiously refreshed. More emptied and ready to be filled with … Well that good old Shadow…
There are times when it is necessary to bear the weight of another’s actions from lOve and respect. There maybe a quiet dignity in shielding a soul from poison they do not yet perceive, but it is still a strange burden, this unseen guardianship, for it demands not only silence but the quiet surrender of…
The pain that many internally feel, be it from encounter or ancestral legacy, rises. Unleashed, the full froth of that inner suppressed frustration, years of trauma is myopically directed outwards vented often towards an unwitting target. Justified and satisfied all in the name of dharma, the now ‘empowered’ feels vindicated because they have put up…
The 2nd March as Venus enters completion, pauses and descends. And there she stands, a threshold to cross, a path sloping downwards, a path that will, very shortly, lead back home.

Silence exists in many forms, each shaped by its purpose, the stillness, or indeed the turmoil, it occupies, and the energy it holds, carrying a depth beyond words, expressing meanings that language often cannot contain. There is the silence of stillness, a pause that allows thoughts to settle, like the calm that follows a passing…
The element of water can be seen through our emotional expression. Trauma, whether personal or ancestral, freezes those emotions, rendering them static, all the while burn beneath this ice. Choosing to heal is like gradually melting what has been frozen. If you don’t, you repeatedly face situations that violently break the ice apart. However, the…

Unresolved ancestral trauma plays a very subtle and often unrecognised, yet paradoxically overt influence, role in shaping our current political and social framework. In a more overt manner, deep-seated historical wounds such as colonisation, slavery, systemic racism, and oppression continue to influence the collective unconscious of societies around the world. These traumas, passed down through…
How is it possible to resolve the world’s conflicts while the seeds of pain, resentment, and suffering still linger within individuals and families? The disharmony that exists on a global scale is often a reflection of the unresolved emotional, mental, and spiritual turmoil that resides within each individual and many of those binding emotions, as…
The world has always been a place of injustice, so I don’t know why so many believe that this time is extra special and that the world is coming to its end. History is full of stories of cultures/ society ending, let alone the daily occurrence of individuals lives ending and beginning afresh due to…
The challenge about writing about the reflections of the complex waveforms that our lives are bathed in is that it gives the impression of some form of celestial causation and that our reality is already written.

As you live beneath the canopy of a blue aura, looking up at a distinct, luminous yellow star, you may notice less bright lights bobbing along as if floating on top of an ocean of waves.

If you look, you’ll find that the fabric of our world has been opened up, its core exposed and the reality we live within is full of colonised, isolated, distracted, stressed, unhealthy, mentally agitated, tax slaves, working hard for those they love, for their dreams, to create time to explore the world before they die…

Doesn’t it feel as if humanity is regressing in certain ways, even if there are other qualities about being human that are progressing?

Christmas, its origins shrouded in the space held by our predecessors whose rituals hosted in the wan light of a low lying Northern Sun long before tinsel and twinkling lights adorned evergreen branches, is upon those whose cultures celebrate the birth of the Christ.

For some, this time of year lingers like the sweet sorrow of a melancholic melody, as time is spent with those with whom you would not be friends but fate has decreed otherwise.

There exists a thin line between the self-reflection and analysis and narcissistic vanity and/ or fatalistic self-justification or auto-suggestion. This has become ever so evident with the prevalence of camera phones, social media and the powerful medium of cinematography and TV. While introspection is an extraordinarily valuable tool for personal growth, the over-analysis of ‘self’…
The liminal space between Whilst arguably our world is not as solid as it seems, there is no doubt that our sense of reality has become consciously malleable since early 2020.

The world of matter is beautiful, enchanted by spirit and enlivened by the soul, a world brought alive by those who ‘hear’ and ‘see’ the essence that lies within, whose myriad art forms give testament to the divinity that creation has to offer.

Some days it feels harder when living in a world intentionally stoked by those lost souls hanging on by their finger nails as they desperately cling to their pursuit of power and greed, whose weapon is subjugation through division, fuelling the red mist of those who live in reaction without awareness. Yet the vast majority…
The responsibility for ‘showing’ up is something that not every soul truly understands and is a source of frustration for many who have ‘awakened’ to the deeper potentiality that lies within their psyche. Yes, it is an exercise of acceptance, compassion and patience as you are called to ‘meet’ someone where they are at, but…
Love and connection appears more complex than before. For many the labyrinth of the digital realm, where algorithms bridge connection and hearts beat in pixels, is the only path to meeting someone.

Love, that ethereal alchemy of the heart, is a melody played on the strings of vulnerability.

Death is part of any healing process. Within the deepening of self-awareness, slowing down, not jumping out of the natural rhythmic process and onto the next ‘distraction’ is necessary, even if it is unglamorous. After all, surely if your mind has ‘got’ it, you can move on? From the uncertainty, illumination will arise, as…

There are soul connections which transcends time and space. They weave intricate patterns of ‘destiny’, intermingling life paths across multiple timelines, bound by a cosmic thread and dancing through various epochs.

This dance has been around since the mythic Fall, but seems to be acute in times wherein folk can dump the unfiltered interior of their soul onto a fabric that traps and holds those thoughts fast – the Net.

1 day… In the depths of darkness, where sorrow and pain resides, there exists a wan-light, a light if followed can lead you on a profound journey of transformation.

Within the depths of our being, a profound truth lies forgotten yet omnipresent – the power (and beauty) of living from a place of unconditional love.

And there she stands, a threshold to cross, a path sloping downwards, a path that will, very shortly, lead back home.

Another facet of this redistribution of power is the toppling of the well-established pyramidal model of society, perpetuating a futurist, striving, elitist paradigm wherein those on the ‘lower’ levels look up to those on top for governance, inspiration and leadership. That model has been slowly crumbling, accelerating back in 2008, and is in full flow…
Gulp… what this short piece touches on may be misinterpreted and misunderstood, but know that I realise the topic of identification is a complex, multi-layered theme, that I believe has something to do with the our society’s continued retreat from its numinosity. I realise that many sOul’s feel that they do not fit in or…

You may have been taught to rely upon those in authority, be it a teacher, parent, guru or government, but it is clear that times, they are a-changin and the old order is struggling to cling to an out-moulded cast. You will never really know how things might be if you come together in unity,…
It is funny how pervasive the language of determinism is within the way in which people write on our cosmological environment. It is as if many believe that the language of the stars defines our reality, when in actuality that we live in a rhythmically conscious, vibratory field of which we are part of. Their…
Ah the language of ‘Air’ – we live in a simulation; AI bots taking over our Art, our writing, our music; we can upload our consciousness to the cloud; we can sleep whilst driving; we can compute trillions of equations and projections, making money and driving the prices of houses up… ‘What is your greatest…
High upon our northern hemispheric skies, a green streaking messenger travels across skies over the coming days.

The region of the night sky…
Just a short note to remind you that the world around you is merely an externalisation of what is within each individual and the combined consensus to create certain realities.

The New Moon in Fixed Water on the 25th of October 2022 Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse, an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in their…

Enter the calendar year September, and the politicians start returning from their summer break and already the lockdown rhetoric starts again.

The First Astronomers: How Indigenous Elders read the Stars by Duane Hamacher Essentially the First Astronomers is a well-researched and documented argument to open the eyes of Western academics to take seriously the extensive and intimate knowledge that Indigenous peoples have regarding star knowledge and lore.

Though our modern world feels increasingly removed from Nature, ultimately our sense and understanding of time arises from the rhythmic pulse of the heavenly bodies floating in the waters of the firmament.

War What is it good for? Actually many things, none of which have the common soul’s best interest in heart, all of which stem from base human experiences like greed, material power and wealth. “We’re at war, all the papers say” (Stuart Adamson, Where the Rose is Sown), and we are in a perpetual state…

Six months ago, we planted an intention to seek a renewed stirring of life for the Earth, and to engage earnestly, honestly, plainly and compassionately with everyone of every persuasion, in every circumstance, without judgement or condemnation.

It can be difficult to stand up for the truth, but that’s what makes it so important to do so, particularly when everyone else seems to be on the opposite side.

In those pre-dawn days, society appears to lose the…
One of the deepest scars created since the last redistribution of power has been not only been the progressive disenchantment of humanity, but also the disconnection from Nature.

Are we living in an Orwellian prison? “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery.
