The Advent of the Solstice

Whenever there is a significant change in a cosmic cycle, the planet responds. I thought of this as I prepared to record a guided meditation for the Solstice yesterday: where I sat, in my cedar home high above the River Wye, all was calm but outside storms expressed themselves violently with gales and heavy rain […]

Spirituality in Action through David Cameron

Spirituality comes in many forms, and often what seems foolhardy or foolish is discovered to be the course of goodness after all. Our dilemmas always have a spiritual basis and purpose, where we are called to choose between the instinct of our heart and the warnings of our mind; it is about doing what we […]

The Full Moon Setting the Goals, Today

Today's full moon is in the astrological sun sign of Sagittarius and is all about the setting and achieving of goals. It is a perfect day to ponder what you have achieved during the last moon cycle and to establish in your mind and heart your focus for the cycle which will begin with the […]

EU and SA Today: Spiritual Significance in Action

With the schism within the EU now acknowledged publicly after David Cameron's refusal, last night in Brussels, to comply with the fiscal/federalist agenda of France and Germany, the unravelling of an out-dated political culture has begun in earnest. Interesting times lie ahead, of spiritual significance, but meanwhile events of equal, at least, importance are occurring […]

The Choice between Autocracy and Democracy at the Brussels Summit

The underlying dilemma confronting European leaders is more fundamental than resolving a debt crisis: it is about how far the EU is a true community founded on values of altruism and mutual co-operation, or a quasi-dictatorship of absolute rule. The choice between autocracy and democracy became apparent publicly in the way that the fiscal difficulties […]

Kepler - a Space Telescope without Limitation

Astronomers and scientists have been left scratching their heads over the discovery, by NASA's Kepler space telescope, of over a thousand planets which could be habitable, like our own Earth. Kepler 22-B is of particular interest, having a mild climate and the likelihood of water, but because it lies some 600 light years away the […]

Building Bridges

A bridge is a potent spiritual symbol, reminding us of life and death, of cycles, infinity, limitlessness, dimensional crossings, transition, endings and beginnings, new horizons and adventure, and journeys into the unknown. A bridge is sacred. A bridge is movement and change: if you cross a bridge, any bridge, you are moving from one reality […]

Jacques Delors and the Mirage of Reality

Jacques Delors' pessimistic review of the mistakes, political and fiscal, in the past running of the Eurozone were among the first words I heard today. The once-powerful and still influential ex-European Commissioner is right, of course, and also in his view that the present problems are unlikely to find an easy solution, if at all. […]

Global Storms and the Mirage of Normality

It is heartening, as world leaders continue to perpetuate the mirage of economic normality even at the expense of planetary considerations, to learn that scientists increasingly are using evidence from the world of nature to direct their work, such as gauging the imminence of global storms and geomagnetic storms in space. A recent article refers […]

The Environment - Another Sacrificial Lamb

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the sacrifice of environmental pledges for the perceived sake of the British economy in yesterday's Autumn Statement has gone unremarked. On coming into office, the new coalition government here promised to be "the greenest government ever", but there has been little sign of it. I was saddened to hear the Chancellor say, in […]
