Welcome!
I hope that you are enjoying this website with all the insights, quotes, articles, links, products within it's pages.
On this page you can read a little about the person behind the site, me...Greg!
I wasn't sure whether or not to write or publish this page, however several people have asked to hear a little about my life and there's also lots of tips and things I've learned on the way that I would like to share with you.
( The journey isn't over just yet either...in fact it's just beginning :P )
CONTENTS
A bit about Greg's Spiritual Background, Life & Experiences
Introduction
The following started as a brief description of my life. However it has turned into a summary of what I feel are the key turning or focal points in my life - leading up to this site and my present level of awareness. It's not finished yet (I doubt it ever will be!)
It's like the story of my life with synchronicities, tips, problems, mystical experiences, holidays, going with the flow, friends etc. I recommend you do the same for yourself!
Spiritual Journey / Path
Who knows when or how a spiritual journey starts -
I don't know much, but the following are some of the points in my life that stick out - especially with regard to my 'spiritual journey' and this web site.
Personal History & Background
I've been interested in the paranormal, mystical, philosophical as long as I can remember e.g.. magic, hypnosis, sensing energy in between hands, Egyptian artifacts, invisible things, deep questions etc.
I was brought up a Roman Catholic and at school enjoyed religious studies and anything linked to the ancient and unknown. I was better at Maths and Physics than English and Art - and my ambitious entrepreneurial spirit was starting to shine through. I was also a good all rounder in sport - but especially played rugby & basketball for the our school teams.
At around 12 years of age a family friend suggested I hold my palms close together without touching - and nothing else. After a while, when my mind started to calm down, I felt like a magnetic attraction / repulsion between my own hands - I concluded that it was our own electricity and it was perfectly natural to feel it. At that stage I didn't consciously pursue a spiritual route and unfortunately the family friend passed away a couple of years later.
Aged 14 - I set up and ran a small mail order business - hiring Atari Lynx games in the UK - reinvesting in more games! This was a fun little business - doing what I loved plus service to others! I was young but my customers didn't know! - impression management!
I suppose I was quite introverted until I started going out & experimenting...
Music is my Life
From about age 14/ 15 I was more focused on studying (GCSE's & A-levels) and of course 'partying' & 'raving' - going out, playing pool, DJ-ing & Mixing, parties, raves & lots of laughs & fun with mates (slightly 'misspent' youth).
From 15 years on, I was really into Music and decided to invest in turntables - started mixing, Dj-ing& buying vinyl, playing at parties etc. I was really into happy energetic music! (Old Skool Hardcore, Happy Hardcore, Drum & Bass).
('Big shout' to friends from School days - Carsten, Nick (s), Ali, Laurent, Max, Johnny, Ben (s), Rodrigo, Daisy, Misty, Paul, Kissei, Patel (s), Daniel, Mark, Verdi )
After my A-levels I decided to have a year
out of education ('95 - '96).
During my A-levels I was really into
As I love(d) music so much, so after spending lots of money on tunes & showing some scratching, I persuaded Jon, the manager of my favorite record shop - (Wax City Music in Croydon) to employ me - selling / mixing records - happy hardcore, techno & drum & bass music! - (Article and pic in 'Dream magazine')
I have made lots of friends ( DJ Blind, Half Dred, John, Dave, Rodney, DJ Energy, Remi, and many many more) and had an amazing time - getting paid to play & mix records - going out to clubs free on the guest list every weekend - it was my dream job.
In Jan 1996, after a few months working there, I was offered a position managing the 'House & Garage' section which I shared with the R n B / Hip Hop / Reggae section. In the process I learned more about black culture & music and the fun & lively community of people! Often I would work Sundays after no sleep the night before...mash up!
University Life
Between 1996 & 1999 (Age 19 - 22), I studied Business Management Bsc at King's College London - favorite subjects - marketing, communication skills & business ethics. Made good friends - Karim, Alan, Tomo, Jessica, Nick, Claire & Clare, Jemma, Hanna, Helen, Ramy, Rebecca, Graham, James, Nick, Tom, Holly etc.
I experienced the student lifestyle - drinking & socializing! To keep up my 'guest list lifestyle' I enrolled as a journalist for the University student paper - writing reviews of nightclubs and raves - so I could develop my journalism skills and would n't have to pay or queue if I wanted to go clubbing.
During my studies my interest in God and the Church seemed to decline. I practically stopped going to church altogether. However what I did know / feel was that God was within and I needn't go to church to find God (cheeky excuse too!)
Wedding, Elephant and a load of Hungry Hippos!
During the summer of 1996 my father & I flew to South Africa for three weeks. We visited Johannesburg - for a family friend's wedding. After the wedding, we hired a minibus and a group of us( Dad, Tony, Betty, Rod etc.) drove to Zimbabwe - and spent four days on a house boat on Kariba Lake ( joined with Victoria Falls)
That was an amazing trip - seeing Elephants, Lions (at distance), Zebra, Crocodiles, Hippos in their natural environment and very close up. That experience definitely brought me closer to nature and I thank and bless everyone who made that possible! Luckily I filmed it all!
I recommend going there /seeing wildlife in natural environment - but check political situation before going.
Extra Curricula Activities
During University, I was rarely satisfied with just lectures and study so I became involved with the committee of the Skill's Society (SIS). I helped organize the marketing & promotions of events. e.g.. successful talk with Price WaterHouse Coopers (with whom I wanted to work - sly!).
We also organized parties at our student union. The second party on Tuesday on March 30th 1999 was a great success (celebrating several birthdays and end of semester). (Hi Andrea, Janni, Karim, Richard, Nikki etc.)
In the meantime I was also running a fortnightly club night called ' Knowledge' with my good friend Carsten. These parties were good opportunities to hook up with friends, especially from the 'record store days' (shout to -DJ Blind, Half-Dred, DJ NRG -Kevin). The best night of all was on the Thursday night the same week as the SIS success above!! - great birthday week!
Change of Attitude
Towards the end of my degree, I formed the impression that most of the top global corporate organizations, for which many students were applying for, were based on individualistic, competitive, and materialistic principles. I did n't feel I wanted to be a part of that, for the time being anyway.
In the third year I began to question and contemplate the meaning of life more than ever before. Without any formal training in philosophy, or reading any material, I remember realizing -
'Life has the meaning that you attach to it!'
'God is Within'
How one experiences / filters / perceives life is based on his /her attachments, beliefs, attitudes, values, past experiences, memories, karma, habits etc.
Little did I know that this insight aligns with popular psychology, epistemology and many of the Ancient Traditions - especially Buddhist teachings of Emptiness, Selfish craving, attachment to ego.
Shortly after my final exams I was told that a member of my family was diagnosed with cancer (wasn't told during my final exams - 'for my own good')
So now I really wasn't sure what I was going
to do!
I feel this led to key turning points.
Back to the Roots - Poland Road Trips
Before 1999, the last time I had been to Poland
was about 10 years ago.
Between September 1999 & Feb. 2000, two of my brothers - Peter (Libra '72)
& Henry (Leo '60) traveled with me to Poland several times.
(As well as Pete & Henry I also have a brother Chris and sister Dana who is married - and Jeremy respectively).
We went for several reasons - to visit family / roots, find potential business opportunities, have a holiday & most importantly have a laugh.
On the first drive to Poland - Peter played a Deepak Chopra tape (Seven Spiritual Laws of success). One of the points I picked up was - 'don't judge others' - so I had this, as well as other Laws / Truths(e.g.. Law of Karma) , in my mind as we traveled and experienced the next few weeks.
( Peter has also been interested in self improvement side of things - however he was /is more into health - body, supplements, and selling side of things - eg. Anthony Robbins , Body building & health supplements - a good balance with me! - In fact I remember taking the mickey out of my brother for listening to 'Self Help tapes' but soon after listening to this Deepak character I felt things were changing - check his site link below)
Henry is young at heart (fire sign) - We are similar but different - all up for laugh though! Henry is into Astrology, Elvis & others & Chelsea football team. Leo Henry has a lovely Leo teenage daughter Francesca who does acting, dancing and singing (great voice). Henry also has Jamie, a great Leo kid who's into acting and messing around with games and toy guns. (How did he do it! Both his kids are Leo! He must have planned it! Talk about Leo loving itself! Lol! However I don't know if he thought it through...Leo's like to be the king of the jungle! Too many Leo's in a room can mean trouble!! Lol!)
During those good times in Szczecin we had many fruitful experiences - many discussions, arguments & skeletons out of closet. As brothers we bonded much more and had an amazing time too. We spent a lot of time socializing with each other & family - drinking vodka, eating polish cuisine and observing people, events & life.
I was keeping a journal of important lessons, synchronicity's, observations, questions, answers etc. - I became a student of life, people, culture, morals, myself and mind. I was questioning, observing, contemplating, reflecting and writing what I was realizing and observing. I was like an journalist - reporting on life and how it seemed to work.
Our expeditions to Poland were most enlightening.
Re-awakened
In Poland my interest in energy reawakened when I realized that I could also feel energy /auras on other people - Others felt heat from my hands where they had a 'problem' /energy blockage (e.g.. stomach ulcer). I knew now that this was something weird and quite real.
Also the third time we went to Poland, lying in bed at about 10:30am, suddenly I experienced what I can only describe as - awareness of No-thought, No-thingness - I was simply alert, aware, clear, relaxed but focused in the now - my thoughts just came to a stand still, or rather no new thoughts were coming up that could distract my awareness from this weird phenomena - mind seemed expansive inside - it was clear, bright and light. This felt strange, special, light, clear, good, free, peaceful, beautiful - different but somehow familiar.
I felt awe and wonder. I believe this is the first time I became aware of the true nature of mind (Rigpa). However I didn't know this at the time. I had a feeling this was significant, but not quite sure how.
NOTE: I recommend going back to your roots/ homeland- especially with close family - it seems as if codes were set off when I had learned certain lessons (with brothers, family and life) and visited certain places & people. As I look back, the feeling of energy on others, and the experience of no thought, seemed crucial to my development, growth and transformation. Also on holidays' people are more relaxed (less responsibilities / stress etc.) and naturally more aware of signs and the flow.
More Turning Points
When I came back to London I was determined to learn more about the energy I was feeling in my hands & also to learn more about healing, enlightenment, meaning of life and healing cancer.
I had more time on my hands now and had some interesting views and observations about life - I started typing the first draft version of this site (late 1999) - first version online in Feb. 2000. I thought working out the meaning of life would only take me 6 months or so!
Little did I know I was about to embark on a fast track spiritual quest into the very depths of Truth, Reality, God, Love, & Awareness etc.
ACCLERATION: CELESTINE PROPHECY
My journey stepped up a gear when I was handed 'Celestine Prophecy' by coincidence by Elaine (Carsten's girlfriend) [now his Wife]. I recommend this book - it's like an adventure parable. (check links below)
Up until that point , I never really enjoyed reading, i just read the minimum to pass the exams. However when I started to read Celestine Prophecy, it deeply resonated with something deep inside of me. It touched on relationships, insights, energy, healing, meditation - all the things I wanted to know more about. I read it in a week. That's the the fastest I'd ever read a book.
This seems to be where my spiritual journey really started accelerating....bigtime!!
Since then I've been hyper inspired to read, research, see, hear, feel & experience everything to do with Energy, Healing, Cancer , consciousness, spiritual traditions, esoteric knowledge, self awareness, Mind-Body-Spirit, enlightenment, Truth, etc.
I scoured the Web for information - lapping up as much as possible about the paranormal, chakra system, kundalini, chi , Merkaba's, ascension, meditation, enlightenment etc.
Also interested in sayings & lives of Sages, Avatars, Masters, Yogi's and various mystic traditions like Sufism (Pure Islam), Kabala (Pure Judaism), Gnostics (Pure Christianity), Zen & Mahayana (Buddhism)
I was drawn to certain books and bookshops.
I've read more in that time than during
my degree!
SYNCHRONISTIC EVENTS
March 18th 2000 - Late at night - Literally bumped into
my school friend Charlotte, whom I had n't seen for about seven years,
near Leicester Square, London. We talked and much to our surprise we had both
read 'Celestine Prophecy' - this was like the first coincidence and sign that
something weird was going on!
I met up with Charlotte and some friend and went to a couple of lectures - one was at Alternatives in St. James' church Manuel Schoch) and the other was a Sahaja Yoga meeting (kundalini).
This chance meeting led to many more specific coincidences - especially when I got talking with Charlotte's sister Lucinda. In fact at first it was a little bit overwhelming - I didn't know what to think - i felt a mix of fear / awe /surprise At least I felt that I wasn't alone on this mysterious journey.
Since these few meaningful coincidences, I seemed to experience an ever increasing number of mind blowing coincidences / manifestations / attractions. It truly seemed amazing.
Simultaneously, while researching all of this I was building up this site with useful info and good links that I was finding along the way.

Cruising along the USA
In May 2000, Pete and myself went on vacation to California, USA to visit family (Auntie Lilly & cousins - Barbara (Barb), Mark, Anthony, Andrew, Melissa & Desire). We went for Barb's graduation day and to embark on a seven day cruise along the west coast.
I set out with Celestine Prophecy - the Experiential Guide in my hand luggage. I remember reading it as well as watching movies, and taking notes, and tasting a fair amount of wine on the plane.
I arrived with a quite a bang! As I saw my cousin Barb in the airport terminal, I was so excited (and merrily drunk) that I lifted my feet from the ground and put my weight on the handlebars of the luggage trolley attempting (you know like teenagers in supermarket) to roll over to her.
Suddenly I dropped, the trolley had given way, (unfortunately, i was too pissed to realize that airport trolleys aren't the same as supermarket trolleys). So landing on my thumb, successfully chipping the bone. (thumb was holding trolley handlebar when hit the ground) (Didn't know that thumb chipped until later X-ray session at Barb's clinic). All this as I tried to look cool! i just went red I tried to laugh it off! Great entrance!
To top it all - Pete filmed it all (private viewing sessions not available !). I knew this event had some meaning as soon as I found it very painful to operate a lighter. (But that didn't stop me playing nintendo with the kids)
Barb drove us to our family in Los Angeles - Auntie Lilly and family (fostered & adopted) - Desire, Melissa, Anthony, Mark, Rayborne & Chesney. This was a great laugh - I love kids, although sometimes they get too excited.
After spending some time window shopping in the malls and eating meals, playing and talking with family - Pete, Barb, her b/bf Sean and I, embarked on a seven day cruise along the west coast of America - LA to Mexico (e.g.. Puerto Vallarta) and back.
Amazing food at restaurant and 24 hour pizza and we experienced some of the casino lifestyle! I wanted to know want made people tick when it came to money & gambling (although I am generally not a gambler!)
Met lots of great people - but it seemed a bit surreal! Like a movie or dream!
During the cruise I experienced many meaningful coincidences (e.g.. several croupiers were from Poland - one was from the same town that we visited and with the same name as Henry's g/f at the time - Beata from Szczecin!!).
At each of the port calls in Mexico, we often set out late (due to late night before) with only a few hours to see the port and buy souvenirs. However we managed to buy all the required gifts for others as well as have a laugh, and meet people. We were seriously in the flow!
At Puerto Vallarta Pete & me met some new friends - Karen, Liana and Al from Texas. We had a great time/ smoke and chat. We had a lot in common and talked about reality, altered states, control dramas, Carl Jung and recreational drugs.
I actually felt that I was living the Celestine Prophecy & following the Insights - going with the flow, seeing signs, aware of control dramas, ego, and experiencing lots of mysterious manifestations / signs / occurrences. I was meeting people and sharing messages.
Also on the cruise I seemed to have switched roles with my brother - I was talking and opening to 'strangers' and making friends (like talkative Libra Pete!) while Peter was listening more (more aloof & initially shy like Aries me!). Usually Pete does all the talking and I listen /get bored lol!!.
Upon return, the docking of the ship was delayed by a thick fog - everyone was sitting around waiting. I was looking for a friend so I was walking around the whole ship - I kept bumping into people that I had met - sharing messages and saying goodbye.
(Hi to everybody I met during the cruise - see bottom of page for names)
Groundhog Day - Cruise connection
Something about cruise also reminded me of the film ' Groundhog Day' where Bill Murray is trapped reliving the same day over and over - trying to get with the main actress. He goes through an evolution in consciousness - from negative ego - only caring for self (greed - food, money, sex, cars, fear, hate etc.) to caring for others (saving lives, generosity, happiness,honesty, kindness, respect, love)
In the end Bill has no time for himself or for chasing women - he is too busy saving lives and helping others. This is where finally the women he's been after for so long (although not anymore) chases him.......and he wake's up with her the next day - breaking the repetitive daily cycle.
I feel that it is a good film with a great message - material desires and temptations are temporary. By serving others, being detached from ego desire , being friendly, honest, respectful and kind - your life will have true purpose and meaning. You will feel, peaceful, happy and break the cycles of pleasure / pain - karma.
I was starting to understand and feel like Bill on the last day of the cruise. I used to care more about myself but now i was seeing the light in 'helping' / sharing with others.
On the flights there and back I remember seeing several films which had a spiritual / special message e.g.. The Beach (about paradise & ego), John Malkovich (out of body experience), Muhamad Ali (Success ) etc,
I was seeing meaning everywhere - like a child seeing toys and candy, except I'd be taking notes! Integrating what I was learning / observing and thinking that one day these experiences / lessons might be useful for somebody else as well as myself, family and friends.
I kept a journal of interesting events & lessons. I had many realizations, aha moments and insights.
Books & Tapes Galore
In the USA my addiction to books & tapes started to grow!
In Barnes and Noble I picked up some great books & tapes on Chakra's (e.g.. Leadbeater,) , 'How to Know God' by Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer's 'sounds for manifestation' and a 'Great Philosopher's' Tape set - Plato, Socrates, Aristotle as well as audio tapes about chakra balancing - books that I had never knew existed!
Also in the bookshop Pete found a magazine that he thought I might like - called 'What is Enlightenment (see below for link) WIE magazine couldn't have appeared at a better time - I was just thinking about ego and it's different aspects and perspectives when suddenly this magazine turned up - the title of the current new issue was 'What is Ego'!! It was full of articles, different perspectives and leads - exactly what I was looking for!
I knew that something weird was going on in the air!
In this edition of WIE I was especially attracted to a advert of a book by Maitreya Ishwara, 'God's Vision' - supposedly the Word of Source. So I read about it on his site and ordered a copy. (I also ordered a video about Kahunas from USA)
God's Vision - was a perfect book for my evolution at the time - it summarized many of the key spiritual teachings in a logical thought provoking way - it seems to be the essence of many teachings and it aims to Unite, not separate. (see bottom of page for link)
Maitreya Ishwara mentioned Osho Rajneesh. Osho was a contemporary enlightened Mystic - bridging science with spirit. This sparked my 'romance' with Osho's teachings. I got hold of as many Osho tapes & books as I could afford (including 'Book of Secrets'). Often what he said was very thought provoking, insightful and very poetic - it definitely resonated within me.
Everything was fitting in. I was truly amazed with the depth, and breadth of info available out there about mysticism, enlightenment and the Truth - whatever that was / is / means!!?
I kept meeting more and more people who were interested in the same things.
Eager for Answers
Whenever I had a question about Life / God / Truth, in my awareness, somehow I would be led to a special teacher and / or teachings. With more answers came more questions and more leads.
Each book, tape or link would lead me to another source of information and coincidence. I was following signs, not knowing the final destination, but pleasantly rewarded / surprised on a regular basis.
Things were clicking in my brain - were these
epiphany's / realizations / satori's / insights?
- at that point I didn't know but I definitely felt I was making new pathways
in my brain / consciousness.
My paradigms (View of life) have shifted many times in the past few years. My spine tingles as I write about the experiences I have / had.
So for the next few months I was reading whenever I had a spare moment.I always had a few books on me at work or even going to friends - as well as a couple of audio tapes while I was driving!
I was learning for myself (energy, philosophy, enlightenment), for my family (healing, cancer) and for the site and its viewers.
Between Now and March 2000 & I have attended many workshops, lectures, Satsangs, Dharshan, Exhibitions and conferences etc. Including:
Events since then:
(Been practising and studying more Buddhism - Dzogchen, Rainbow Body, Mindfulness Meditation, Mahamudra, Highest Yoga Tantra, Vajrayana. Reading Books - Living life with Meaning, Dalai Lama, Tibetan Book of Living & Dying, by Sogyal Rinpoche , Golden Letters, Tibetan Yoga - Evans Wentz, Stages of Meditation by HH Dalai Lama, Tibetan Meditation)
(I read & listened to above teachers plus Wayne Dyer, Paramahansa Yoganada, Osho, Diana Stein, Barbara Ann Brennan, Dr Joshua David Stone, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Sri Chinmoy, Ramana Maharashi, Ram Dass, Sai Baba, Dr Usui, Alice Bailey, and many more)
At many of these lectures I would meet someone I knew (for example Karen several times) by coincidence or I would make friends with somebody special and we would exchange messages - just as the Celestine Prophecy had mentioned!
Also if I was short on money / time and needed to go to a talk - somehow there would be a way or a discount!
I was always taking notes - many of these notes & tips I publish on the site. However I am putting together a more detailed journal / e-book with the important lessons I learned at the above lectures - email me for more info.
Reiki, Spiritual Healing & Holistic Therapies
By now I felt there was a strong connection between - what I had learned / experienced, what I could feel in my hands, the website and of course my family member with Cancer.
In August 2000 I went for a talk about curing cancer with Reiki Master Allen Sweeney.
I decided my path would be Reiki. I was about to attune with Allan Sweeney when I came across a system of healing which links a fast track to Ascension, Enlightenment, God -realisation with traditional hand's on Reiki. - called 'Melchizedek Synthesis - Reiki Energy Mastery' (MS-REM).
I instantly clicked with the Master, Susan Anthony; she is in charge of the UK division of the Dr Joshua David Stone's - 'Melchizedek Synthesis Light Academy'. I definitely resonate with Dr Stone's teachings and this seemed like the perfect thing.
I was attuned to - Level 1 In September 2000, Level 2 - October 2000 - Master Level 3 - 'Path of the Shaman ' - in July 2001. This system is the most advanced I have seen / experienced. It links in the ancient (Tibetan , Shamanic, Kabbalist knowledge) with Ascended Masters, Angels etc. I was recently attuned to Master level 3 and believe me the tools used and learned are some of the most powerful if not the most powerful available. Amazing - highly recommend it. (see MSREM page or SESSION page)
I wanted to learn about more alternative / holistic approaches to health, wellness & healing. So in Sept 2000 I enrolled with Richmond College for two 30 week courses:
Exploring Holistic Therapies - every week a different therapist would give a demonstration and talk about a therapy e.g.. Aromatherapy, Magnet Therapy, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Iridology, Ozone Therapy, Rife machines, Hypnotherapy, Brief Therapy, meditation, Raja Yoga, Ecological Building, etc.
NFSH Spiritual Healing level 3 & 4 - advanced healing techniques (i was 'lucky' / experienced enough to go straight onto the advanced course as opposed to doing level 1 & 2 first)
I made many new spiritually minded friends - Amit, Lara, Mark, Darryl, Bob, Nick, Freddie, Charlotte, Mary Rose, Maxine, Vanessa, Rani and more. I learned so much in those courses.
I recently finished those courses (June 2001) - culminating in an amazing day out at Avebury. (Stone Circles & Crop Circle!)
Peak Experiences
Once in a while I'd experience an amazing day/ night out - which seems to peak - everything fits into place like the day in itself is a journey and at the top of the hill / event /experience - I experience what I can only describe as a peak experience - pure bliss awareness! - tears of joy & awe!
The first of these I remember was soon after a Flower of Life Workshop - when I went with my mum to see Stephen Turoff - psychic surgeon (Chelmsford) in October 2000. Stephen was apparently told by Sai Baba that he is a reincarnated Kriya Yogi (whom he resembles ). Also many strange lights appear in photos taken in Stephens clinic and Vibuddhi (sacred ash) apparently manifests at his practice. When I caught his eyes I felt some sort of energy transmission. (I can't say for sure if this or the FOL workshop had anything to do with what was to follow, but I reckon had something to do with it)
It was on the way back, in the car driving along that I had major realisation -
'God just is!! God is the flow of is ness!'
God is ever refreshing change:
God is the process of change,
What is changed,
What observes change,
simultaneously
I felt in awe / bliss and I felt my awareness expanding. I was bursting with tears of joy and I could see the 'Divine in All' - I was smiling at complete strangers as I was driving by!
I felt I had to write down what I had experienced - so when I was near home I stopped the car and started to verbalize my thoughts / feelings onto scraps of paper etc. (can't find at moment though!)
The Divine can hide no longer!
Another occasion I literally saw Jesus' face in a lady's face after staring in her eyes for a while - at the class for my Reiki level 2 initiation.
Since then I feel the divine is literally in all of us!! When I look in peoples eyes, my mind goes blank and I just feel peace, love, and timelessness - like meditation.
More recently I had an amazing day with the Stones at Avebury (Jun '01). I spent the day at avebury - meditating with stones & communing with nature, following signs.
Last week (jul 12th '01) in Hayling Island - several nights of looking at the stars and sea - many spiritual insights and realizations - I felt the sea, stars and moon were 'sharing secrets and knowlegde' with me. The waves would come right up to my feet when I seemed to realize / ask something - as if answering or confirming me! (even though normally the waves stopped a good few metres away)
Having experienced days like this I feel like sharing it with others.
What do friends think?
There is no doubt that my personality, attitudes, beliefs, actions, words, have changed quite a lot since summer '99. For example:
Many transformations are internall. This is what I have learned from relationships with friends:
Friends & the Flow
Since March '01 I have spent a lot of time with my Italian friend Alan. In early 2001 He was feeling a little low - not much cash flow and definitely worrying too much etc.
In March, Tomo, another friend from University, recommended we work with him - good cash, easy hours -perfect! All the signs & coincidences were pointing towards going for this job - even though it is for a large materialistic, competitive corporation. I felt spirit wanted me working with Alan and Tomo (Leo) for this particular company -
This was an opportunity to have fun, meet people, integrate what I had learned and in the process make some cash - for a good holiday (to sacred site) or for this web site. that's how I felt!, however most employees , inc. Alan, were mainly in it for the money!
So we decided to join this well known utilities company - doing direct marketing & sales.
I knew Alan was a little low so i wanted to share 'the FLOW' with Alan. I figured if I'm in the flow then anyone who is with me is also in the flow, by definition. So I decided instead of preaching about karma, flow, meditation etc. I was simply going to experience it with him.
The training was in Hastings so it was a perfect opportunity to share the flow.
My theory seemed to work - everything on that trip to Hastings was 'in the flow' - however apparently I did go on about 'the flow', So much so that one time Alan said,'Stop saying 'the flow' or 'karma' every five minutes! I kept quiet, patient and aware. We went out of the car to buy some munch - we came back and put the radio on and a tune that I have never heard before, or since, came on - it's lyrics contained ' go with the flow ,flow, flow, flow' and 'flow' about 50 times!! '
I could n't believe it!! Talk a about a Cosmic joke!
Since then Alan doesn't mind as much. but also I have learned to 'stop telling and start selling!!' - by talking and analyzing the flow / experience you are detaching from it!
Anyway back to Hastings - every day was special, full of surprises, coincidences, beautiful scenery etc. e.g.., one day went to battlegrounds of 1066 battle & - spent time with trees during amazing sunset. Feeling connected with animals and trees.
However the last day seemed extra special . The whole time we were in Hastings we were attracted to the castle ruins on a cliff, however we couldn't find how to get up there. Finally when we got near we parked and followed our instincts. It was quite a steep climb and we met a guy on the way up who shared some history with us.
Eventually we got up to the castle ruins on top of a cliff in Hastings. It was a clear evening and the sun was setting. The view was amazing - sea to one side, town to other, sky all around - We felt on top of the world!
We both felt that t he scene symbolized life and our relation to it! Remember we had just completed a training course for a new job with great potential!
To our left was the Sea - symbolizing - inner peace, inner power, holidays, beauty, creativity, female, right side of brain - we visualized holidays on Islands & boats, peace & creativity
To our right was the town of hastings with cars looking like ants - symbolizing potential customers, material wealth, logical ordered left brain - we visualized fishing for customers!
However interestingly both sides seemed never to stop moving!
In front of us were the illuminated castle ruins - symbolizing our new headquarters, Gold, Cash, power, authority, control, bureaucracy
Behind us in the distance were cliffs slightly higher - this symbolized future potential, higher ground / purpose, self employment,
Above us the beautiful sky - symbolizing all pervading beauty
Below us - a cliff on Mother Earth - symbolizing home
And of course that leaves us (Alan and Myself) - symbolising the detached awareness of all of the above - in and out of the world simultaneously! Balancing Aloneness with Wholeness - Individuality with Unity
We truly felt on top of the world. I feel we shared a peak experience -
And it hasn't stopped there - we have continued to have quality times together.
I was working in supermarkets, dressed smart, chatting and smiling to complete strangers all around south london and surrey. The hours were flexible and easy and travel was fun because we would travel in the car together having a laugh.
Alan is Sagittarius (wise owl) - he also has the fire inside him and he likes to go with the flow. I feel this has something to do with it - I have great time s with fellow 'fire signs' (hawks - aries, leo, sag). It helps to have someone who is on your vibe / wavelength and who goes with the flow - intuition, signs, synchronicity. However there is no doubt that you can get carried away with reading into things - so it's good to have a slightly more grounded friend if you are quite in the clouds! You learn from each other.
With Alan I learned how to share the flow and not to go on about it! In fact now Alan and Ali both say 'it's the flow' or 'it's a sign' and I either just sit back, or say to them jovially,'don't read into things too much!'
I also shared a marvelous day out with Tomo at Royal Ascot (June '01) - the weather was amazing, we picked a winner in 3 out of 4 races - everything was like clockwork - in the flow - little time to think, just enjoy and experience.
The common denominator that makes these days so special is - God, Nature, The flow of experiences & coincidences & insights and the general feeling of bliss and union with nature, friends and something greater than ourselves. Days like this usually fill me up with awe, praise, bliss, gratitude and Love for nature, God - all that is and is not.
It is this background of desire for mystical union that I feel drives and inspires me.
I pray for strength and guidance. I pray to be used by God as a his / her servant.
However I expect nothing in return (I hope)

My True Love & Soul Mate
I believe I have recently met my partner for life - Karolina P. When we met sparks were flying, lightning struck (literally in my back garden) and it seemed to us and others around us that we have known each other for ages.
Most importantly we love each other and have laid a good foundation for our future. Soon after meeting Karolina I knew she is the One for me, I have no doubt I want to be with her forever and have children with my Love. We have so much fun together and find it difficult to be apart.
Karolina & I share similar culture, background, interests, beliefs, attititudes and goals (as well as compatible star signs ;o).
There have been numerous positive signs and meaningful coincidences that seem to confirm we are in the right place, and the right time in our lives - (recently lots of positive signs especially with regards to our Wedding plans)
Funnily enough Karolina's family seems to like and accept me which is great too!
We have had the occasional disagreement however we forgive, love and accept each other and do not want the other to change unnecessarily. I believe we will help each other grow and will be on the same path going in similar direction in life for many years to come..hopefully until time ends ;o)
I feel as though God has answered my prayers and miracles do happen, for real. We are loving each other and evolving more and more, day by day ...(& night ;o).
Thank you God, Mum, Dad, Bro's, Family, Ancestors, Loved ones, Friends & Angels!

10 months later!
Amelia is growing so fast - cruising, crawling, teething and babbling more than ever.
This year has been tough with lots of work, taking care of Amelia and learning about each other -
We are so lucky to have each other - watching our beautiful, intelligent and so cute daughter learn, grow and develop more and more everyday.
Of course big respect to our family and friends who are helping and showering us / Amelia with presents!
I hope and pray that we can be the best parents we can be, that we keep our love and fiery passion burning, and that may our dreams continue to come true!
I love you babe! Thank you for being you!

Time is flying so quick. Amelia is becoming a real girly girl now who is intelligent and has her own opinion and way of saying and doing things.
We've had our ups and downs this last year, but we are still going strong.
Since the day we met my life has changed for the better. When we are apart I miss you so much and can't wait to be with you as One again.
May each day bring us more Love, Joy, Happiness and good times.
I love you with all my heart and cannot imagine life any other way, than being with you for the rest of my life!

More Thoughts & Insights
Life on a daily Basis
Daily Practices / exercises
Don't just copy what others say, but pick what resonates with you, take one step at a time
Spiritual
Mental
Physical & Emotional
I know I've changed my life around, for the better, If you choose I bet you can too!
Financial
But the spiritual path is not easy and has traps & pitfalls-
Sometimes I feel low and cry when I feel suffering and pain - I also feel the pain of others - only to burst out with inner laughter, bliss & joy as I realize the other / broader perspectives! Crying can be for different reasons (guilt, poor me, emotional release, empathy, gratitude, joy etc.)
Perfection
I am not perfect in ways but perfect in others.
Much of the path is about knowing, understanding, purifying and training your own mind - as well as the unknown, unknowable.
On that route you need to balance your self
The paradox is -To know God you have to work through your dark side - fear, ego, motivations etc. Be comfortable with your imperfections. use the manure / weeds for growing & cultivating good fruits.
Negative traits that I had / have are:
(and possible antidotes)
The important thing I feel is that I am aware of these traits - either I have noticed some myself or my friends have pointed them out.
Remember accept yourself and your traits, habits etc. You need to accept & love self before you can truly love and accept others. However instead of integrating the dark side we should learn the lessons, bless it and release the the negative ego. Ideally living only with Christ Consciousness / Buddha Nature / Goddess Within etc.
But also be aware that friends see you through their psychological lens of perceptions, attitudes, beliefs etc.
'We are like a river'
However also realizing that I am not 'always like this' , is also important - these reactions above happen when certain conditions and circumstances are met. (e.g.. I get stressed easier on a Sunday - having gone out late night before)
These emotions / feeling states flow through us - you are not the emotion, you are the awareness of it and the interplay of thoughts, actions & emotions between people - life is like a movie - in action, take a back seat and watch self!
We are the awareness of the river. Our molecules, neutrinos, emotions , skin cells, thoughts are changing constantly - we are but the silent observers, not judging just aware.
Don't be overcritical, but don't be lazy. You need self scrutiny to check you emotions / motivations / desires etc.
Don't judge others or self. (e.g.. that's good / bad)
