Honour your journey
"What is the core of your being? Love. Do you remember the traumas and difficulties when you were first awakened? But you came throu those fiery trials unharmed. Now, you have asked to move to a higher level, and your being must grow to prepare for your new responsibilities.
Remember, praise is what keeps your energies high."

Intensity
"You must cultivate an intense following of your heart. If you attempt to follow up everything you become like a mental sorting office. Fast driving or competitive sport may develop your body–brain coordination but they do nothing for your heart.
"When you come to the end of your physical body you may have lived 70 years, but at your death those who come to guide you into the spirit world will only see the real you – they will look at the ‘hours on the clock’ of your inner heart. And what will they find? That you are 10, 20, maybe 30 years old?
"Do you truly live from your heart even as much as an hour of each day? How old were you when your head and your heart parted company? 8, 10, 14?
"Thereafter how much time have you spent working from you heart alone? – Maybe when you were intensely in love (but consolidate the moments & is it more than a couple of years?), maybe around young children? It is only true love that changes anything."

> What can I do now to raise more money?
"As a human you have power over your own affairs. Religious guidance on a micro-level only works if you have achieved true synchronicity on the macro-level, the big issues of your life.
"Human thought (science, philosophy) extrapolates from the particular (the known, the measurable) to the universal (the unknown, the theoretical).
"Divine thought first offers you the biggest picture your karmic development allows you to see, and then lets you find the practical reality of this universal vision.
"Inner progress always involves attending to the larger issues not fiddling around with detail – which constantly varies as the centre alters. Often, and especially for those who earn from inner work, as the structure of your life grows you have to stand further and further back to gain a coherent view. That is the importance of letting go, and not struggling with details.
"Wake up, look at the broad issues.
"Are you too busy to refresh the vision by which you live?
"Is the river flowing thru your heart chakra clogged by mental weeds?
"Nothing can substitute for the inner reactor at the core of your being. But all should balance (tho not necessarily as equals): heat, cooling; energy, release; work, play. Darkness too must be balanced with light.
"Straining too hard towards the light creates a correspondingly larger shadow. Move fast if you must, but don’t in any circumstance force, struggle or strive – or you will produce a reaction, that is a universal lore. Every track is governed by a maximum safe speed. You may possibly exceed it with impunity for a time, but not indefinitely – and wrecks are never pleasant for victims or rescuers.
"Calm down. Cool down. Allow growth to be organic, and at the speed that the organism -not your intellect- determines.
"Money worries? Don’t seek ‘solutions’, apply energy to the source – your vision. Live with it in the forefront of your consciousness."
> Reviewing this in 2006 I contrast my present easy state (temporarily maybe!) with the acute need I was then experiencing, much as a sailor might sit in the evening sunlight at anchor reflecting on past storms. A writer who has helped me formulate my goals and shown me how to work towards them is Christopher Westra. I would recommend anyone to watch his web-movie.

Sailing into the wind
> What should I do in this difficult time?
"Pull yourself back to your centre. Be one–pointed. Be in your power. In every life, be it never so advanced, there will always be times of difficulty, just as on any voyage there are dangerous passages. Each such encounter shows you unequivocally what reality you respond to. Is your consciousness in the immediate sensory danger or is it fixed like a helmsman on the beacon?"
> How do I maintain higher awareness and yet produce the energy to calm the storm?
"If the storm doesn’t make you fearful you’ll be happy to ride it out; but since whatever happens to you reflects your inner awareness you may cause it to rise to the pitch you need to bring about an alchemical reaction in your perception. It is certain to be symptomatic of something you should be paying attention to. But it may also be a natural obstacle your ultimate destination requires you to pass.
"Unless you are a great Master the safe conduct of your vessel will require careful attention to detail – tho there will come a time when, having done all, you must stand firm and endure.
The real moral question a tempest raises is ‘Are you on the right course?’ If you feel doubt, then seek the point of the compass the wind is driving you towards. If you’re certain, you may have to tack into the wind, rather than seek to drive straight at it. Either way, your seamanship will be improved!"

Q&A
"Gather your energies. Focus them intensely into your immediate tasks. Don’t disperse your gaze. Riches come from the inner world but Money comes from the outer world. We can make you rich, but only you can make you wealthy. What do you want?"
> I want to live in the freedom of love, to experience the interactive reality of a spiritual path, see my loved ones grow in wholeness, with my material needs met.
"Okay. What are you going to do?"
> Concentrate on hearing and responding to my inner voice.
"You must be more than constant, you must be eager. You must maintain balance at all times, so you can discern the subtle promptings of the spirit. Avoid heroics. Don’t let yourself be seduced by the pleasure of doing things merely to gratify others. Keep regular habits, so avoid bingeing. Exercise would help. Let love form in you like a great pearl which grows for no other eye, but is found and gives delight to thousands."

Moving out of your comfort zone is always uncomfortable - but there are big rewards
"Rejoice Jerusalem, for your time has come to be delivered. If you can give up the notion that your Jerusalem is one particular spot or situation (Ego) then you release the power that that Ego represents to be shared on a higher plane. It feels scary because it is scary. That‘s why we say ‘one step at a time’.
"When you have crossed all the other bridges, there remains the tightrope over the chasm. No power on earth can accomplish the crossing. Only if you are utterly centred in the highest power can you keep your balance in the winds that howl around you, and the fears that drag you down. Keep your vision perfectly steady and focus only on the other side. (Hahaha, and after that comes the chasm without any tightrope at all! – But you’ll have some more climbing to do to get to that!) And after such exertion rest is sweet. Remember, it will come as surely, as night follows day & as the flood tide follows the ebb tide. Your nourishment is love, the more you create, the more nourished you will be personally.
"Black as it may look, your time of deliverance has already come. So rejoice, and live in the memory of those mountain top experiences, even when you’re compelled to deal with the lowest forms of energy. Go in love, go with God."
Reading this after a gap of 15 years I see how well the plan worked! I was, in a way, lured by my ego into an unsustainable position, a shoe-string publishing enterprise that drained the last ounce of energy and money out of me. The following year a crash came due to outside events. It swept everything away. While this felt utterly awful, the fact that I knew a) what happened wasn't my fault & b) I was following some kind of path came me confidence to survive the melt-down of my Ego. In the end result everything worked out much better. There really was a happy ending! But if that had been told me I would've immediately wanted to cut to the chase and not go throu the necessary hoops which were in the long run the 'proving process'.

Mastery
"We are delighted when you meet a true Master, for you meet someone who is among us, yet with you. Prepare yourself to receive, for we delight to give. There is a special energy surrounding one who is enlightened, for s/he is in harmony with nature, hir life pattern, hir karmic pattern, hir very self (who is me).
"Why is it so hard to let go of struggle? Because you want to achieve something. But if you are on the spiritual path you already know that doesn’t work. So let go of struggle! Be as you wish to be, raise your energy to the highest point, and maintain that reality. We‘ll be there."
Ah what a long journey it is before we can accept simplicity!

Dancing the path
"People with a vision of the future perceive the latency of all events. But what appears to the human imagination as the most pressing, may well not reflect the order in which events need to unfold. This creates confusion. The easiest mistake is to interpret something spiritual from an earthbound perspective.
"To climb out of the pull of gravity you may need certain fixed ideas structures. But after this release everything. Don’t hold onto anything to orientate your life, certainly not things or people, nor even ideas or religions. [Which doesn't mean you must jettison them, simply don't cling.] "Hold to your inner truth, however much it contradicts surface appearances. If it leads you a dance, follow it – the important thing is to be aware that you are protected as long as you truly follow it."

The opposite of being free is struggling
"To be free means letting go of struggle. If you’re struggling you cannot be free: if you’re free you don’t struggle. (Struggling is when you want to express your energy. Freedom is when we express our mutual energies.) The ultimate purpose of life on earth is that matter is irradiated with light, and light becomes substantiated in physical forms. For those who have set their foot on the path of light this is all that matters. They may have been given a specific task but the purpose is to channel light energy throu the enterprise, not vice versa. Therefore witnessing to the light should always take precedence. Ask the energy to supply your needs, ask with all your intensity yet without struggling. Then walk forth joyfully expecting miracles.
"Where problems exist there are debts which must be paid. Where debts exist there are attitudes which must be looked at. The only way to resolve such things is to bring light into the anguish that has created the problem. And that means letting go of your desired solution (The chances are The Powers That Be are planning something more profound.) So don’t know the answers, don’t see the solution.
"Immerse yourself in the transforming power of love. PS. Don’t confuse necessary hard work with struggle, and don’t mistake bewildering circumstances for struggle. If you find yourself overwhelmed use discernment to stay detached. Salmon swimming upstream have hard and confusing work, but a natural force empowers them. That natural force is given you to find. Don’t hold on to power, give it, use it, share it. Let the inner you (your natural force) speak."

The great spiral of existence
"The years roll by, the seasons change, you grow old, others are born, empires rise and fall.
The world turns but this signifies little to us in spirit. What we see is the throng of spirits released from the pull of earth grows to swell the universal structure of consciousness drawing humanity towards the focal point of existence, the One, Being, S/He Is.
"Imagine all the letters darting up from this page, held in the dancing light as they form spirals of meaning that weave throu your senses like underwater songs who glow from mountain peaks with all mystical knowledge.
"Is reality what you see – a telephone, a kitchen, a bed? Or is reality the power these objects give you to transform yourself? With a phone you can communicate anywhere in the world – in a kitchen you transform your energies with nourishment – in a bed you encounter deeper realities in love-making and sleep.
"For us the whole of life is magical and vivid as sunrise. We are no longer tied to the world of external form. You can be one of us if you let your energy be transmuted into the liquid gold of spiritual reality. Let your words become luminous with subtle energy. Live in the reality of shared love. Let wordless song be your medium of language.
"Live, Love. Dance, Shine. Soar, Sparkle. Grow, Calm. Explode into Focus."

Training for self-hood
"You’re slowly learning that it is not what you do but how you do it that holds spiritual significance. Faithfulness, integrity, holding to inner truth: those are the qualities that confer durability.
"When you cease to be concerned with outer form and pay heed to inner qualities that is when you begin to connect with the energies that suffuse creation. And the strongest of these is love. When you allow yourself to connect with these energies they confer power. That power makes you a co–worker with we who are spiritual entities – it gives you the power to bind and to set free. Like any force for good it can be misused. That is why the apprenticeship is long and hard.
As always there are exceptions, and freak conjunctions within a personality & circumstance may yield the power to someone unfitted, but these are rare indeed. Those who acquire 'fire' illegitimately are often burnt up by it. Handling requires years of spiritual training.
"To be the anvil on which useful implements are forged you must be hardened 7 times above them. Not everyone is made of mettle sufficient to withstand treatment. Rejoice if you have been found worthy, for afterwards the very flames of hell cannot touch you. March the weary road. Trust the ground under your feet. If you were following the sun when it set, do not veer around when it rises again from a different quarter. During the night look only at your feet, a step at a time on the road in front of you. Or rest –you’re perfectly entitled to!– and cherish the relaxation that prepares you for a new dawn."

"Don’t be at peace, be peace. It is an active quality. Think love as your uppermost thought. Don’t worry about knowledge and busyness, concentrate on feeling and stillness."

Harmony
"Rest in the Lord, abide patiently in hir, and in due course you shall see yourself raised to reign. You are a co–ruler. The more you know of the divine mind the higher your position, and the greater the responsibility you have to relay to others the harmony you encounter."
1992/10/18
The way is itself the end of the journey
"You’re very neglectful of me these days. You’ve become like a foreigner who needs someone to interpret rather than a son who has right of access. By taking things for granted, your simple walk slips. The path itself is the goal, never forget that; being fully present where you are now is your destination.
"Stress is just another way of helping you grow – of teaching detachment. I beg you to stop drinking: it is a test. You can only grow if you harness the pain-energy of emptiness - by which you yearn into existence your true self.
"Faithfulness!!"
This came at a time I was run ragged with the editorial work on my magazine CataList and management pressures as a publisher

You are not your body
"Love. Breathe it in. Let it breathe you in – inspire you. Feel what it is like to be love in the nostrils of the great Being. Imagine the fresh warm air. Imagine the power of a majestic calmness. Imagine the storm of that Being's indignation. Imagine the tenderness of hir peace.
"Be at peace. Don’t strive so. Who you perceive yourSelf to be in the material world is governed by the messages your body gives you about who you are.
"If you have a car its make and style influence your self-image, but it is merely a vehicle for you to travel around in. So it is with your body – spiritually it is no more significant than a car. To admire mere bodies is to be stuck on the bottom rung of reality. Like a car, the body decays – yet the driver never grows old. Lay not up treasures for your selves where rust and moth corrupt and thieves break throu and steal: but lay up for your selves treasure in Heaven."

Letting go
"You will never shift from the material plane if you continue to be preoccupied with material things. You’re running along the runway at full speed, but unless you take your courage in both hands and tug the lever at the right moment to lift yourself high into the air you’re going to come to the end of the runway. And then you’re going to have to go all the way round and try it again.
"Let go! All that is involved is letting go of material things. Yes, you may be in the midst of them, you may be involved handling some material project –you may continue to be concerned with it– but you must let it go or it will bind you to the earth. Letting go means allowing the project to succeed or fail on its own terms. Whatever need you feel your work is serving, however much you may feel you’ve been called to it, so long as you strive you’re working in your own strength, and ø the work will last as long as your own strength lasts.
"If you let go it means allowing the work to take on a pattern and strength of its own. It's that simple. You can’t talk about it until you’re living it. If you’re living it you won’t need to talk about it.
"We don’t mind saying all this stuff hundreds of times over. It's our function to be here to help you develop, and we’re willing for that to happen at whatever pace you can manage. We just want to encourage you to discover true happiness, and not be continually bogged down by problems which you could have avoided if you were airborne.
"Don’t worry, nobody’s reproaching you. You draw to yourself whatever energies you put out. As long as you desire good, what is good for you will come (tho you may not recognise it till afterwards) – at whatever degree of intensity you desire it. What ever you truly desire, you will achieve. So let your ambition be for things of the spirit that will lift you high above the circling clouds to the realm where there is no decay or change to a land of sunlit delight. Yes yes, you see it, you smell the new–mown hay, you are drawn by the sound of laughter – the music and the dancing, all, all are ready. It wants only you. Let go, and float up to the welcome party that is already prepared for you."

Becoming rounded
How can I square the circle?
"What an interesting question. When does a circle cease to be a circle? When does a square become something other? If you described something as a square and its shape altered to that of a rhomboid what would be the ‘true’ way of describing it?
"Those with conventional consciousness describe things by their surface manifestation. In the spiritual life you learn to be guided only by the evolutionary process which drives an object from one manifestation to another.
"You must accept change, metamorphosis, as all nature does. Perhaps you feel you’re being taken apart? Well you probably are – and in your heart you know you wanted change.
"Accept. Underneath are the everlasting arms. Allow yourself to fall.
Instead of a jagged piece of ice become a beautifully formed snowdrop."

Don’t become addicted to speed
"Balance your busyness with times of stillness. If you are unavoidably caught up in activity don’t become addicted to the need for speed. Constantly check out and check in. As you were told, you won't achieve solvency until you can learn to float on a raft of praise. Think about it, you struggle keep your head above water because your consciousness, your ego, your survival, impels you to. If you would stop struggling the surface of the water would support you, but you must become lighter. Stop carrying so much baggage! It’s back to pleasing people again, isn’t it – being a hero, picking up their karma?
"Stick to the central issue. Write only what you’re shown. Be, don’t prove yourself. If there’s any proving /testing /tempering to be done, I’ll do it. Do you see me racing around like a madman? No, you find me always at peace, always aware. Be likewise!"
