I was not in any way asleep, or in a trance. My evaluative rational self was keenly observing all that happened, but not interfering. Nevertheless, profoundly felt imagery and feelings flooded my awareness. I realised I was experiencing the New Testament story of the birth. But this did not seem to ... More

In the past, God was largely ‘owned’ by the priests. The man in the street was threatened, warned, told and talked to about God, but in Western culture, neither he nor it seems the priests, seldom ever experienced that which they were talking about. When religious authorities were trying to stam... More

So what I experienced in Spain was that as the forms drop away, what we are left with is life without its clothing. We meet the essence of what gives us life, what gives the people around us existence, what exists in animals and plants, what animates and informs the children and people we love. Then... More

Everything good is costly, and the development of person­ality is one of the most costly of all things. It is a question of yea-saying to oneself, of taking the self as the most serious of tasks, keeping conscious of everything done, and keeping it constantly before one’s eyes in all its dubious...

I am a trainee yoga teacher and have been teaching for three years. I have a small class of fourteen students who are keen and attend regularly. I decided to have my students try the seed approach to see how they would react. I explained it as well as I could, and the feedback I got was as follows -... More

As can be seen from Judith’s comments, the results of the seed exercise might be that you have a spontaneous fantasy, something like a waking dream. It is precisely for this possibility that the technique is practised. The aim is to get the doorway between your conscious and unconscious self swin... More

It is important to express what you experience in these experiments. I believe a good test of integration is that what you describe is understandable not only to yourself, but also to any casual listener. For some people the word and the feeling are very much connected.... More

And a song of love burst from me spontaneously. It was love of life, of my cause. Then laughter came, for I had been such a fool, to crush myself with my own rigid morals, with my own emotions and strength. We were all fools, to crush ourselves with our own worlds, to chain ourselves with our own fe... More

To start step two, stand in your space for a while and be aware of the movements of your chest as you breathe. As you observe this, every so often hold your breath out for a while and notice what it feels like as your body wants to make the movement to breathe in. Unless you hold your breath for a l... More

In the dream Brenda saw the baby and a voice from behind her told her the child was ill. Its illness, she was given to understand, was serious, and would need to be treated with a drug taken every day of the child's life. The reason for this illness and the drug use, she was told, was because in a p... More

In these further spaces of awareness people have found access to the motivations, fears and responses that lie behind their waking success or failure. They have a gateway to the roots of creativity and innovation that can enrich their everyday life. The processes of the body, usually beyond control,... More

Virtually every society up to our present times has been built on a hierarchy. The upper levels of the hierarchy usually do everything in their power to maintain their advantage. To do so they live on the work and productivity of those in the lower levels of the hierarchy. In the U.S. and the UK... More

Rudolph Steiner, the great teacher of Anthroposophy said that the seven-year cycles continue throughout life, and are of the utmost importance to doctors, teachers, psychiatrists and the social sciences. Without some smattering of these changes it is difficult for anyone to understand the relationsh... More

In all this examination of whether there is awareness existing independently of the body, it is important to remember some fundamental things already said about our own present scientific philosophy. The first thing is that time and space were non-existent prior to the Big Bang. Secondly, Bell's The... More

Suddenly, and with some apprehension, I realised the meaning of this interesting fantasy that my unconscious had been communicating. I am a bubble. My personal awareness, although it seems distinct and separate, is in fact the reflection of one great consciousness pervading the universe. So who am I... More

Here are my books – as you can see, I love writing. I am currently in the process of updating and revising many of my works, with the aim to republish them in beautiful new […]... More
