What's Going On? Jan 2012

2012: Don’t Ascend! – Stay Here :-)
What is the point of life? Simple, to learn, develop and grow. That’s it. Nothing else. Our learning takes place within our four bodies – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. The first three bodies all have the ability to expand as well as to die. Only the spiritual endures.

Union & Completion.
The goal of life is not to escape from the lower physical aspects and to ascend to the spiritual as fast as possible. On the contrary, the spiritual needs the physical for its full development. There is stuff going on Planet Earth that the spirit cannot encounter anywhere else. The spirit does not seek escape from the physical but union and completion with it. As the Earth cries for the Spirit so the Spirit cries for the Earth. So the message for 2012 is to be here now, as fully as possible. Show up for your life - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually - and start to turn it into what you need it to be. No one said this was going to be easy, but we should all remember that we willingly enrolled in the School of Planet Earth in the first place. Ascend by all means, but be clear on your motives and make sure it’s not a permanent arrangement!

Ego & Selfishness.
A newcomer to the Mind Body Spirit scene recently remarked to me that she had never met a more self-absorbed bunch of people as those that regularly attended workshops and events. She observed that many of them were so locked in their own head or so immersed in their own concerns that they missed precisely the miracles they were looking for. This seemed a little harsh, but I could see where she was coming from. After much soul searching I concluded that selfishness was the necessary first stage of enlightenment. Let me explain.To get anywhere with personal and spiritual development it is essential to know thyself. This can only happen after a lengthy period of going within. This is bound to express as selfishness, even if it is not intended as such. There is a need, in the early days of development, to bring it all back to you. Further still, if any real and lasting progress is to be made in this scene then it is vital to discover and then expand your identity and individuality. Again, this can easily express as selfishness or even as worship of the ego, but that it missing the point. As is often said, you are unique and you have a unique path to happiness. To explore and discover this you have to start to think about your own needs more, to increase your resonance and alignment with what suits you, and free yourself from the herd. These are the essential first stages of life development, which cannot be achieved without differentiating yourself from others. The problem is not ego and selfishness. The problem is that these things are simply intermediate stage of development, not the end in themselves. They will pass, but they have to be gone through. What possible help can you be to others if you do not realise your own value?

Today’s Practice...Stop The Doubts.
Never mind about Intention, let’s start to get to grips with Attention. Where you chose to put your attention is crucial to your life experience. This applies every minute of every day and can help you to become more available to the magic. (Secret – don’t go looking for miracles. Get yourself into a state where they can come looking for you.)So, during any activity, important or mundane, direct your attention to the part of the body in use at that time. When typing move your attention to your fingers. Move it away from thinking about what you are going to write and toward actually writing. You can move your attention to your hands when doing the washing up, or preparing food. When jogging or walking move your attention to the soles (souls?) of your feet. You get the picture. This is tremendously grounding, but also magical, because it allows wonder to come to you. Now, here’s how to stop the doubts and rest the Monkey Mind. Whenever you ask a question, either or yourself or others, bring part of your attention within your right hand and listen to yourself while speaking. Never mind any internal chatter such as ‘ah but’ or ‘what about’. Just do it. Listen to yourself whilst speaking and then come to realise who is speaking.

Interesting People...
10th March 2012 will be the second anniversary of the death of my mentor and teacher, Arthur Norris. A remarkable, sometimes infuriating and much misunderstood individual, everything I know originated with him and this date will see the publication of Volume One of his complete teachings. It is interesting exercise to get out of my own way on this project in order to record his teachings in his words not mine. Around this time we will also formally re-launch the Hermitage Development Centre (although to all intents and purposes we are doing the work already). Further updates will follow and my emails might get a bit more frequent! 2012 is going to be a turning point, though not in the way many people imagine. It is interesting that this project has presented itself unexpectedly to me at this time. The Key to Time project, 95% complete, has been put on the back burner while we get this venture bedded in.

Booking Now – Tools for Transformation, Hawkwood College, 13th-15th July 2012.
Arthur Norris laid down a number of techniques and methods for personal and spiritual growth that have, until now, never seen the light of day. These will be explained and explored during this summer retreat weekend. The skills are fully tested, they work, and best of all are easily repeatable, teachable and learnable. There will 1-2-1 time, as well as group activity throughout the weekend. It will be a transformation in itself, but it offers you the chance to learn skills and tools that you cannot access anywhere else and which you can use on a daily basis to improve your life and the lives of those around you.The retreat will improve your intuitive skills, deepen your relaxation, open you to new horizons, include emotional and physical healing, as well as advanced mystical and magical techniques, presented in an everyday fashion. It will enable you to make sense of your life and help you to build a new one. Magical and practical throughout!

To register your interest just drop me an email and I will keep you informed of the exact timetable in the coming weeks and months.
