“Opening” “Truth is a Pathless Land. No one can take you there” It was just this ‘proposition’ that was addressed for more than a millennia by the subtle metaphysics of the various Sufi Tariqah’s (pathways between oases in the desert). Middle Eastern Sufis became ‘Wayfarers’ when they set out on these hidden ‘pathways’ and their … Continue reading “Opening the Way”

“Amphora – Metaphore – Akasha”
“Amphora – Metaphor – Akasha” In so far as truth can be told, it is through the ‘akasha’ that is meant to carry it over from one realm, where it abides freely, to another, this realm, where it requires an appropriate ‘body’ to ‘house it’ as it were. Just as we (our body) are the … Continue reading “Amphora – Metaphore – Akasha”
“Truth is not for the ‘Day Tripper'”
“Truth is not for the ‘Day Tripper’” If “Truth” is a ‘pathless land,’ does it matter if one speaks of it or not? Jiddu Krishnamurti said, “…a truth spoken becomes a lie,” so – when one attempts to grapple with this problem – is our only contribution to be lie upon lie? Like the Socratic … Continue reading “Truth is not for the ‘Day Tripper'”
“Now Is The Winter of Our Discontent”
“Now is the winter of our discontent” What does it mean to a man to grow old; to lose potency, capability, capacity? “…I grow old… I grow old… I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. …I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard … Continue reading “Now Is The Winter of Our Discontent”

“Truth Sharing”
“There Is a Balm in Gilead” I have been writing for some time now in relation to my own personal journey after being given an indication that I needed to open-up, to be a witness to “truth”, to help counteract the current descent into lies and destruction that seem to laugh at the very idea … Continue reading “Truth Sharing”
‘To See With The Eyes of Another’
Facets of Unity ‘Through the Eye of another’ If one could see through the eye of another, actually, what would one see? According to scientists the Mantis Shrimp has the best eye of all the animal kingdom. It has thousands of lenses and is able to see depth with only one eye.

‘Timelines, Songlines, and Other Dreamings’
Janus -Timelines, Songlines, and other Dreamings- Many years ago, sitting on a small hill in Central Australia I watched as a distant dust trail inched its way across the vast red expanse, stretching towards the horizon and low mountain ranges. Perhaps half an hour passed as it gradually became clear that what I was watching … Continue reading ‘Timelines, Songlines, and Other Dreamings’
Backstory Behind ‘The Dream’
Dear “Y”, I have, as you know, intended to write you more fully in relation to the ‘back-story’ of ‘The Dream…, blah, blah. This has proved more difficult than I anticipated. It seems to have triggered other insights and impressions that – although related – took off in new and different directions from my intended … Continue reading Backstory Behind ‘The Dream’
The Dream That Changed My Life
Almost forty years ago now, I had a ‘waking dream/experience’. This experience, unlike any other before it, carried its own ‘veracity’, needing nothing outside of it to confirm its authenticity. So obvious were its antecedents that one was left in no-doubt as to its truth. It began a lifelong change of direction and introduced a … Continue reading The Dream That Changed My Life
