I’m Back to Writing Books Again with More on the Way

After starting back after this recent break I had considered blogging regularly, but looking at the situation further I've decided that the time would be better spent writing books. The trouble with books is that you go a long time until the book is finished without having much contact with anyone, but I need to do it because I haven't yet written anything about the more esoteric work, and, unless that's done no one will be able to read anything of mine that will explain what this kind of spiritual awakening is and how to do it. And that's the most important thing I can do right now. I'll see what opportunities arise to write something here and there to keep in touch. While we're on the subject of books, I've just finished revising the new edition of the Peace of the Spirit Within. It's going for it's final check before it gets formatted into a free eBook.

‘Esoteric Content’ Censorship Coming to a Website Near YOU!

Already McDonalds, the Caffe Nero chain, Orange Phones, and a UK college, have been caught blocking access to alternative spiritual websites in the UK (such as Vigilant Citizen, Osho in UK, and Energy Therapy). This is set to massively expand, as the UK government has announced an internet censorship plan which could block access to alternative spiritual sites for 95% of UK internet users. Find out more about the UK filter and how it will affect you, below. This infographic is courtesy of Dara at www.reachinglight.com. You can get a copy to post to your site here. Spread it around!

Inner Peace and the Awareness of the Present Moment – New Article

Simply by perceiving the moment we can feel the beauty that emanates from consciousness, as inner peace is a quality of consciousness. If we perceive the whole we can be aware not only of the world we are in at that moment, but also our thoughts, feelings and emotions, and by observing these we can discover much about ourselves. While we are not aware we lose out on both inner learning and the feelings of peace that consciousness could bring. A deeply spiritual inner peace is not in its root a quality of an emotion, nor of a thought, nor is it an idea or a belief, or the absence of conflict. It is a quality of consciousness found within a perception that is clear of the ego. Consciousness experiences the form of dimensional existence most lucidly through the mechanism of a clear mind, and it’s most felt when we are aware in the present moment. Read the full article here

We have it within ourselves to raise our conscious level and that of humanity – new article

We should take the time to know how we respond inwardly to life, because by changing ourselves and allowing consciousness to shine, we change not only our own lives but those of others around us, and, if enough people raise their conscious level, we can bring about a real change for good in the world. If we don’t understand ourselves, no matter how many victories for truth there are, the inner level of the majority will keep dragging society downwards into corruption, disorder, and destruction. And even those who pursue truth in the world are not immune to the adverse effects of the subconscious. All of us live in the present moment - it’s a quality of being alive, but it’s the way we perceive it that can make huge difference to our lives. Within us is a multitude of constantly changing thoughts, feelings and emotions, and not all of it is good. In fact, in the subconscious are awful inner states that are usually hidden from awareness and that are the roots of corruption and destruction. Read the rest of the article here

The Astral Codex – A New Free eBook by Belsebuub Released

The Astral Codex by Belsebuub has just been released as a free eBook. Having out-of-body experiences totally changed my life; feeling myself leaving my physical body and entering another dimension was absolutely incredible, and I think it's going to have a profound impact upon the world-view of anyone who seriously takes it up. Having out-of-body experiences is a natural part of being human, and is one of the most ancient and essential ways for getting spiritual knowledge. Some of the material in it was first released back in 2001 as a free online course given as a series of weekly, downloadable pdfs. Back then it was huge - it was the most popular course of its time (taken by 10's of thousands worldwide), and was groundbreaking at a time when the internet was just kicking off. It was possibly THE most effective program of astral exercises: surveys showed that 67 percent of people had an out-of-body experience during the course. Later as a paperback book it became the bestseller in its genre on Amazon.com, and now the paperback has formed the basis of a completely revised and updated eBook with lots of new material, that's free to download here. This [...]

Why Enlightenment Takes Time – New Article

Photo by Sam Mgrdichian on Unsplash Enlightenment means different things to different people; most of us have different versions of what it is and how it occurs. In some descriptions it happens in an instant, perhaps as a realization of something, or as a result of doing a certain practice, or by a divine intervention. What the term means to me is the ancient and even timeless universal process of the return of consciousness to its source. Although there are different versions of enlightenment, that’s fine, it’s just worth recognizing that we don’t all necessarily mean the same thing when we say it. It would be great if we could all be conscious of the present moment and connect with the universal source consciousness and hence become enlightened, realizing we are all one, all that is and will be, and there’s nothing more to do. The problem with this though is that there is no fundamental change to the nature of consciousness nor does in return to its source - in other words, nothing actually happens. It helps to understand something more about the nature of consciousness than thinking or theorizing about it can give, and that requires [...]

The Spiritual Meaning of the Summer Solstice

The summer solstice is a time to celebrate the light of consciousness within ourselves and within each and every person, and to reflect upon the potential for consciousness to awaken. The Druids, ancient Egyptians, Maya, Romans, and many others have aligned their sacred sites to the summer solstice and conducted ceremonies on this day. At the Great Pyramids of Egypt the summer solstice sun crowns the head of the Sphinx; the Druids celebrated the marriage of heaven and earth and the defeat of the dark god of the year just as the Egyptians celebrated the defeat of the dark god Seth by Horus as the sun; and in Rome, the festival of Vestalia continued a Druid tradition of guarding the sacred fire. Update on our articles about the spiritual meaning of the solstices and equinoxes As of 17 March 2018, this article has been removed from our website because it was being so extensively plagiarized by people using it to write their own articles on the meaning of the solstice and equinox without crediting or referencing our work. Usually these people write an article about the meaning of the solstice or equinox on their website as an SEO and [...]

Looking Beyond the Issues to the Causes of the Problems Facing Humanity – New article

There are some difficult problems facing us as a humanity that threaten not only our fundamental rights as human beings but also our very survival. We can and must tackle a seemingly endless stream of issues in a struggle for truth, freedom, security and justice. But unless we can get to the underlying causes of these issues, they will not only keep repeating, but will continue in their slide to a dark abyss. The wars, environmental destruction, mounting debt, poverty and so on, are symptoms of deeper underlying causes, which have their root within each individual. If the problem was only limited to a handful of sinister people, then the difficulties facing the world would never have got this far. Corrupt institutions for example, are often a symptom of large numbers of individuals who are easily bought off, and are willingly ready to serve their own selfish interests before those of the people. Huge corporations often have their foundation upon the greed of populations who almost demand an endless stream of cheap, fashionable, throw-away goods. Even some who want world change can alienate and become aggressive towards others who don't fit in with their future world view - so once [...]

Removing Some of the Obstacles to Love – New Article

It doesn't take too much to see that there’s too little expression of love in the world, just as there’s insufficient expression of other qualities of consciousness. Much of the terrible suffering in the world is caused by a lack of love, but few can be moved to do anything about contributing to good and to positive change. Love is not simply about thinking positively, or thinking loving thoughts, or even doing kind deeds, although these may be expressions of it. It’s there in seeing and feeling and being part of reality, because in reality we’re all part of one - not only one humanity, but one substance, which is the cosmic consciousness of the universe.

A Review of the Day: Learning from the Past – New Article

There’s an event in near-death experiences that indicates a way to get better understanding from daily life. One of the most common things people recall in a near-death experience is going through a review of their lives. Many go through it in minute detail, recalling every event. Most describe how much they’ve learned from it and what a positive experience it was. But there’s actually a way to learn like this in every day of our lives, by reviewing the day, at the end of each day. What people tend to say matters most when they review their lives after death are simple things, such as how much they’ve loved, what good they did, how they hurt others, what they felt, and how they made other people feel. This is what they say is really important. It’s not how much money they earned, or what career they achieved, but it’s more to do with interactions with people, such as what emotions they felt, what they did to others and especially how they loved. To understand more about how you live, how you really are, and what’s important in life, it helps to do a review at the end of every [...]

The Powerful Use Esoteric Knowledge While Keeping it from Humanity: Empower Yourself by Awakening Consciousness – New Article

Pop star covered in upside down crucifixes and doing a symbolic gesture in covering their eye - creating the all-seeing eye. You should be active in your spiritual life. You're never going to discover why you exist, and what the purpose of your life is, if you don't do something about it. Do you want to live your life superficially, or do you want to have a genuinely spiritual life? Reading, discussing, watching videos and belonging to groups might be helpful to begin with, but ultimately it’s not going to get you there. If you want to have a rewarding spiritual life you're going to have to EXPERIENCE. It doesn't matter what you think about consciousness, higher truths or different dimensions, it's what you experience and what you are that counts. Planes of existence beyond this world exist, there are higher beings, heavens and demons, and hell is real; I've been there. I've seen realities that can't even be imagined or dreamed about. Wake up and see for yourself what's really going on. Be more conscious in your life and learn from the dimensions beyond this. But watch out, because you're ingrained in a passivity that will stop [...]

The Sleep of Consciousness That Weighs Heavy Upon the Human Race – New Article

The sleep of consciousness is the default state of the human race, but it's difficult to realize it. The state which we call awake, is actually a spiritual sleep, in which consciousness is stuck in the subconscious, which compulsively churns up feelings and emotions that have a hypnotic like effect upon the mind. There's a quote from the Apocryphon of John in The Nag Hammadi Library, which illustrates that this is something that humanity has faced from ancient times, which is referenced in many religions of the world, it's as relevant today as it was then. The quote says: And I said to the savior, "What is the forgetfulness?" And he said "It is not the way Moses wrote (and) you heard. For he said in his first book, 'He put him to sleep', but (it was) in his perception. For also he said through the prophet, 'I will make their hearts heavy, that they may not pay attention and may not see'. There is a difference between the ordinary state of waking (waking sleep), and conscious awareness, which is to be self-aware and free of the effects of subconscious states upon perception.

Be Free to Express Yourself Spiritually – New Article

If sometimes you feel like there’s a taboo in discussing non-mainstream spiritual issues, it’s because there is. Most people just don’t seem to get it, and in a conversation you can end up getting nowhere, worst still, if you pursue it enough through society and various social structures, you’ll discover an evil that wants you to keep quiet, and doesn’t want you to know. Evil is the best term to use here, I haven’t used it much as you get into the good and evil don’t really exist argument, but no, by evil I mean evil, and I’m sure you know what I mean. Against the search for higher spiritual knowledge often comes the average person who doesn’t really know what metaphysics is about, they don’t know, they don’t care, and to them you look silly. Then there’s the bigoted religious believer who believes it’s not gods work and has to be stamped out (and god will thank them for it). Then there’s the bullies who find a poor person trying to explain about things no-one can see (the non-physical), what an easy target, a victim handed to them on a plate. And then there are those who know what [...]

Changing The State of the World? – New Article Just Added

The world is in a dire state in many ways, and yet most people carry on the same regardless. There’s a lot of information about meaningful issues available through the internet, and what’s really happening behind the scenes can be discovered by anyone digging in a little. This information could be a catalyst for real change, unfortunately there are so few people who are actually interested in digging deeper to find out what’s really going on, let alone actually doing something about it. This is not just a social or political problem, but one that goes deeper, into the nature of what it is to be human. Looking at a few figures about how some people live paints an awful picture—over 850 million people in the world are without enough food to meet their basic nutritional needs, more than five million people suffer from illnesses from poor drinking water; in the last forty years, approximately thirty percent of the world’s cropland has been abandoned because of soil erosion and degradation; 2.8 billion people survive under two dollars a day, wars keep erupting and nations face huge burdens of debt. Problems like these are not new, they have been going on [...]
