Welcoming the unexpected
Life is full of the unexpected from the smallest gesture to the largest events on a global scale. A smile from a stranger during our morning commute to a substantial anonymous donation that helps a community in need. Often though we miss the importance of these unexpected events and the ability they have […]
Choosing to find our truth
The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it. Ayn Rand
In a world where it is almost impossible to know what to believe we are called upon more than ever to find our own sense of the truth from a much deeper place. The abundance […]
An act of service
‘There is a universal, intelligent, life force that exists within everyone and everything. It resides within each of us as a deep wisdom, an inner knowing.’ Shakti Gawain
Every day we encounter signs and symbols which may be prescient messages and guidance from our higher self, or a power beyond that. In our […]
Who or what conducts your Life?
In my experience one of the reasons we can find it so challenging to connect with our inner ‘knowing’ is because we are so practised at navigating Life through our personality. The overloaded transactional nature of life that we have created calls on us relentlessly to address daily activities through […]
Letting go to let come
‘Being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.’ Eckhart Tolle
What if we just let go? Gave up our control whatever the circumstances we find ourselves in and trusted in the Universe, and its accumulated wisdom, to see us through? Sounds crazy? Sounds like a plan?

Translating knowing
As I get older (in earthly terms) and wiser (in soul terms) I am becoming increasingly aware of the strands of ‘knowing’ that pervade my being. The wise part comes in allowing these ‘strands’ proper houseroom within me and to honour them in how I live and also in how I communicate with […]
I’ve been reflecting a lot on ‘F’ words over the past few weeks. No, not the obvious one but a couple of others that are even more powerful. I’m talking about faith and fear -they’re interrelated and the former is almost certainly an antidote to the latter.
In our increasingly turbulent and uncertain world with fear […]
Trusting the power of insight
Discernment and trust are two vital components in Knowing in my experience. The first of course to help us differentiate between the impulses of the personality (or ego) and the soul impulse. In other words to be as clear as we can be whether the insight, information or intuition that we […]
“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them”. Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
I have been contemplating the difference between ‘knowing’ and ‘belief’. Aldous Huxley quite clearly links belief with conditioning, those influences around us that form an imprint on our way of living, often at a pretty deep and unconscious level. Others […]
‘There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results’ Mahatma Ghandi
I was interested this week when listening to the radio and there was a programme on looking at altered states. It was exploring whether, post LSD, there is a way naturally to getting to the […]
