Tony’s Experience of Stroke

Fortunately Joe caught me, as CJ ran back up stairs, and together they sat me on the top step, to prevent me falling head first down the stairs.

What Keeps Me Going

One of the major diseases in the world today is the old social pattern of traditional religion and politics. They helped people gain identity in the past, but now they set them at odds against one another. We need to clear up our own personal unconscious. ...More

A lighthearted look at my teens

I couldn’t help noticing myself in that large wall mirror over the gas fire. True, I always did notice myself in it every day and looked to see how my acne was coming on – I’d been spotty since 11 – but on that morning I really did notice myself. I had a good look at not just my spots, but a...More

Tony’s Intuitive Voice

In my youth I was looking for something. I wanted to find a teacher. I wanted to find ways into what I felt was another world. I read, I meditated.

George Washington Carver

“When I touch that flower, I am not merely touching that flower. I am touching infinity.” He also said, “You have to love it enough. Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the peanut they will give up their se...More

The Man and the Master

Even as it ended a lithe figure glided into the room dressed only in a thin silk night-gown. Walking directly to him, her beautiful young limbs showing clearly against the firelight, she knelt before him and bowed her head to the floor in supplication....More

Ramana Maharshi

“On reaching the cave we sat before him at his feet and said nothing. We sat thus for a long time and I felt lifted out of myself. For half an hour I looked into the Maharshi’s eyes, which never changed their expression of deep contemplation. I began to realise somewhat that the body is the Temp...More

Edgar Cayce

First a hospital, then a large association, grew up around Edgar Cayce’s work. His life was spent helping the sick, and throwing light upon the mystery of life.
