My main reason to write a Blog and indeed to have felt compelled to do so has been my myriad experiences with the forces we refer to as supernatural, paranormal or spiritual in nature. Past my strange experiences and intense studies of esoteric and mysterious affairs my life is what most people would call normal. I have a job, a wife, friends and family with whom I often do pretty darn mundane things much like millions of other people do. Like most people I can happily moan about the weather, high prices and other inane material.

That mundane side of my life holds little interest for anyone but myself of course and as such I do not discuss it online or write about it. It is after all reasonably dull in the telling rather like someone’s second hand account of a great holiday destination (mmmmm yeah that sounds great, do go on…lol).

The reason I write is that I realise there is a second current moving through my life and through the world about me. It is from this spiritual energetic process occurring about me that my more radical experiences have arisen over the years. My life has for the last two decades abounded with peculiar and sometimes downright zany happenings. I have had everything from near death experience and astral travel to contacting deceased spirits and being paid to give psychic readings. Ever since the first moment that I realised there was more to existence than met the eye my life has been completely altered.

For me there was no more profound moment than when I was first presented with unshakeable proof that information personal to a deceased person could be transmitted back to the living via a human medium. I was then just 22 years old and had already experienced over five years of persistent telepathic experiences. Until that moment I had seen psychic ability in much the same way as the Chinese military scientists had viewed it. Telepathy was simply some strange energy that could be transmitted between living beings by some kind of waves or emission from the brain.

Receiving a message from a deceased person nullified that position completely. From being a sceptic of all things spiritual despite knowing supernatural phenomena did exist, I was suddenly pushed headlong down the rabbit hole toward hidden realms of consciousness. Within months I was practising channelling and astral travel and had even taken training in psychic skills such as mediumship. A constant flow of overpowering synchronicity guided me forward to helpful people, astounding information sources and radical learning experiences.

I was to spend some several years co-managing a Yahoo group called Warriors of the Rainbow in which I was able to learn and share with a small group of remarkable souls. To each of them, wherever they may be today, I am eternally (and I mean eternally) grateful for touching me and moving me in a most profound manner. These people and several others outside the group helped me explore my inner self and experience the jewels kept in the treasure chest of the human soul. There is no competition between material objects like expensive mobile phones, I-Pod Nano’s, fast cars or big houses and the direct experience of phenomena such as mediumship, astral travel, psychometry, and remote viewing or blissful states of inner calm.

Material objects come at a material price and in this vein spiritual treasures can cost you more than a few tears for their retrieval. Enlightenment is it seems not a destination, but rather is an eternal journey of discovery and actualisation. My experience has been that to gain further direct experience of that which lies beneath we must face our inner demons and pass tremendous obstacles we created by past actions and mental states. Some of which may well have roots drifting back into forms other than our current self but which have still moulded us. Most easily this can be understood by terms such as rebirth or reincarnation. Most correctly we might refer to it simply as the flux of the all; the progression of energetic waves travelling through the depths of the ocean of consciousness.

To clear ourselves for deeper and more lasting connection to our own deepest core fabric of being we often have to let go of certain modes of thinking or behaving. That is never as easy as it sounds on paper of course. Even largely decent conscientious and caring people on spiritual paths can make enormous miscalculations of judgement or quite simply do very mean and stupid things in respect of others. Habits of behaviour are often not quickly pacified even when noted as being a hindrance to our lives and our happiness. Hidden prejudice or vengeful thoughts may arise unbidden as one progresses down the path of self-development. Opening Pandora’s box must be accompanied by a readiness to face the forces liable to escape.

2009 has been a year for me in which tears have been shed and stress has almost broken my resolve at times. I have spent four months unable to walk as well as faced both looming potential bankruptcy and divorce. Alongside this I have been fighting a trying and expensive legal battle against the UK immigration authority and faced worries over my job and others matters. My doctor had offered me anti-depressants after diagnosing me with clinical stress. My readers here will note my long absence from writing. Quite simply I was in no state to put anything sensible together and post it online. I only like to write when my material will not be tainted by a personal negative state of mind.

Well I am now over the hump and again ready to take my place on the battlements. There is a conflict of consciousness to be fought using the weapons of wisdom and compassion. It is the oldest battle in the world that of perceived good versus perceived evil. We conscript nobody, but the numbers needed are great and we do welcome every brother and sister ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with those of us already on the field.

In something of a change of direction I will be attempting to address for matters of the supernatural and spiritual over the coming weeks. Partly because as I cleanse my situation the psychic and spiritual events are again increasing. It is my belief that 2009 is a valuable window of relative calm on the world stage in which we can take the time to learn new things and practice our spiritual tools. I hope that some readers will enjoy taking the journey with me.

With love to all whether friend or perceived foe.
