Enlightenment, presented as a rarified state of consciousness virtually unobtainable by anyone living on Earth, is a concept that takes one further from the actual truth of the idea, which in essence is about being ordinary.

The way to enlightenment starts with understanding that we are all children of the universe and that we should strive to live as illumined beings. Every living creature in nature is illumined and through their existence they enrich the world. The morning trill of a songbird is but one example.

We (humanity) are illumined creatures but with the capacity to stray from this state of being and so disconnect ourselves from the Logus and the universal energy underpinning truth. All to easily we confuse our minds with religious, scientific and political ideologies as well as with the intellectual clutter that we gather, when we think about how we should behave and what we should believe?

To be ordinary is to be illumined; that is to say we let go of artificial constructs that create a phoney enlightenment and we learn to love ourselves and live our lives as warm hearted, compassionate and courageous human beings.

Auras

23/04/2023

The Aura is a field of energy radiating outwards from the body into the space surrounding it. The complete human aura consists of different and intermingling energies vibrating at a characteristic resonance or vibration. The complete aura includes the physical, pranic, astral and spiritual bodies.

The auras of the pranic and astral bodies are generally clear or opaque. The aura associated with the physical body can provide an indication of physical health and usually extends around 60cm from the body. Within this the auras associated with the mental principles (instinctive mind, intellectual mind and spiritual mind) are associated with colour and can provide insights into the mental state of a person.

The colours of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) can all be present. The colour red at one end vibrates the lowest energetic frequency with violet at the other end vibrating at the highest. Each colour in the spectrum can range from dark and dirty shades to be almost translucent; the more translucent a colour the more spiritual and less material the thoughts that produce it.

Red is associated with instinctive mind, a dark red associated with the lowest type of thought vibrations, for example anger, hatred, sensuality or animal passion. A clear red can denote courage.

Yellow is associated with intellect, communication, learning. Dark and dirty yellow indicate conceit or pride whilst a golden yellow is associated with spiritual wisdom.

People with orange in their aura (a combination of red and yellow) often display arm and friendly personalities and an optimistic outlook.

Dark or dirty green is associated with envy and jealousy. A clear green is a sign of tolerance, politeness.

Blue is the colour of religious conviction and a translucent blue is the colour of spiritual love. Indigo sits between blue and violet, the latter associated with either material or spiritual power depending on the shade.

The Mineral Kingdom

22/10/2022

You may think that the mineral kingdom is without life force, without energy and nothing more than inanimate matter. Our ancestors however saw things differently. They understood that the mineral kingdom gave life, nourished bodily form and provided a physical platform for the expression of the ‘goddess’ energy.

Goddess energy is creative and it infused the mineral kingdom with energy the moment that the planet was formed. Ancient civilisations therefore valued minerals for their energetic properties rather than for any monetary value. They believed that the mineral kingdom was a carrier of wisdom and a transmitter of energy.

The next time you notice a stone, rock or some other aspect of the mineral kingdom, know that it has witnessed many cycles of evolution, the coming and going off many forms of life and the rise and fall of many human civilisations.

Understand that our human destiny is closely linked to the mineral kingdom an we can use the energetic properties of minerals for healing ourselves and others, if we are prepared to work with the mineral kingdom at a deeper level.

Meditation

20/04/2022

Meditation can help us on so many levels bringing into balance the body, mind and spirit. The physical body follows the mind with our thoughts and emotions expressed in the alchemy of the physical body. Meditation helps us live in the moment taking us beyond any mental limitations the mind imposes, reducing the possibility of dis-ease and bringing body and mind into balance.

Meditation is also our gateway to the universe. Connection to universal consciousness frees the spirit and reminds us of our divinity as spiritual beings grounded in physicality. We remember that we are multidimensional and far more than just body and mind.

When meditating focus on positive themes and associated words. Creative or positive thoughts and emotions help maintain a healthy body and free us from lower vibrational (negative) thoughts. Here are some themes on which one might meditate.

Light - We must strive to be the light of the world. Visualising light flowing into every cell of the physical body can help healing and rejuvenate it.

Joy - The great joy of being - what prevents us from being joyous? Allow ourselves us to let go of hinderances and return us to a joyous state.

Peace - Agitation and apprehension fill our minds yet there is peace all around us if we can see it. Stress transfers itself from the mind to the body. Peace can bring health and healing.

Guidance - Sometimes in life we don’t know which way to turn, producing conflict within us. If we are receptive to guidance meditation can take us on a path of light to wisdom and understanding, the frustrations of thought gone.

Life - Sometimes life doesn’t make any sense at all, wearing us down as we ruminate on things. Meditation can help us let go of the weariness of life as we rest the mind and know that strength is within. Life is for living!

Love - To love and to be loved are the basic ingredients of health and wholeness. To enter into love we have to let go of our resentments and disappointments and start by learning to love ourselves. Only then we can love others as we would ourself. Love is the higher impulse within us all.

Rest - To rest is to be recreated. Sometimes we need to be still and let go. Human Being instead of Human Doing.

The Spring Equinox

16/03/2022

Equinox days have equal day length and equal night length (12 hours each). In the Northern Hemisphere on the Spring Equinox, the Sun rises exactly in the East travels through the sky for 12 hours and sets exactly in the West. The Earth’s energies are now at a time of balance in both hemispheres’ which brings fertility on all levels.

In the Northern Hemisphere, nature shows signs of activity as the power of the sun increases. This is also the beginning of the astrological year as the Sun enters Aries. Traditionally it is a time when seeds are planted, and fertility and new life celebrated. The Goddess of fertility and new beginnings, Oestre/Eostre, symbolises springtime, new growth, and rebirth.

At this time we can begin to reconnect with the Earth and create opportunities for positive changes in our life and in the world. Ideas and plans we have made have now had time to develop and can be shared with others. It is a time for personal growth and development.

In today’s world it is important that we try to make time to connect with the Earth. The Earth needs to hear our voice and we are a voice for the Earth. Try to use Spring Equinox as a focus for your future plans for the year and this will help you to embrace the coming of the summer. Take this opportunity to embrace Eostre’s passion for new life and let our own lives take the new directions we have wanted for so long.
