Ireland's karmic woes

Many of Ireland's problems have come about because it became infected by the illusion of achieving wealth and prosperity through speculation, financial gambling and over-borrowing - taking risks with money they did not have.  I do not blame or judge them for taking advantage of a financial climate which enabled, even encouraged this conduct: a […]

Communication in Burma and beyond

Aung San Suu Kyi spoke at the weekend of the importance of communication as the way to resolve conflict and misunderstandings - and she is so right. I wonder sometimes if we do not communicate enough, or honestly. It is easy to hold tight to us what we are reluctant to express to ourselves or […]

The unrecognised Altruism of the Animal Kingdom

Did you know that a shoal of porpoises rescued Dick van Dyke from drowning when stranded far out at sea by pushing him back to shore? It is not the first time that whales, dolphins and porpoises have been found to protect humans as well as members of their own species, and scientists claim that […]

Creating Magic with the Moon

It is the new moon in a couple of days, and so we are living in the Dark of the Moon now.  This time in the lunar cycle is always magical, mysterious and very special, a time for going within, sensing the void, and feeling the power of the Earth Mother. Being outside in the […]

Obama and Change

The mid-term election results in the US have provided an opportunity for voters to express anger, resentment, disillusionment, and blame, but while the balance of power in Congress has shifted, what otherwise has really changed? It seems likely that the present situation of unwieldy political power and vested interest, economic chaos and social inequity will […]

The US Elections Leading the Way

One thing that is certain about today's mid-term elections in the US is that political disarray will continue, whatever the apparent outcome - and necessarily so. The influence of the Fourth Ray upon Earth is becoming stronger almost by the day, and evidence of this breaking down of old ways of conduct and belief is […]
