Not everybody knows how to hear the voice of their soul, some fall into the experience and others have to be supported. For myself at times I have had powerful glimpses that have come with such a powerful knowing. And then l take on the journey of faith and take constant small steps to bring my knowing into alignment with humanity. But as I do that, I do not see that we as a human race will dissolve into a nothingness for we all hold the amazing ability to create from that inner space of Universal Truth which lies within in all of us, and it is perhaps humanities lesson to learn how to mirror the greatness that is within us...

Perhaps it has nothing to do with having some concept of being spiritual that opens us more deeply to loving each other. Perhaps eventually it is a need for all of us to experiencing the pure act of aligning ourselves with love for all, and yes that is the person that may have behaved in a hurtful manner to us (where the real inner work for us resides) that opens us up to a true form of spirituality that is not depended of any religious or spiritual model.

Creating or Split – Learning to Be a Universal Co Creator

Post author:Mandy Cruickshank

It’s almost as if a new language needs to be created so that people are taught the way to experience their inner essence and learn to be a co creator rather than to split. The models can only be as good as people teaching these models as they do their inner work, therefore moving beyond fear based beliefs and leading people into experiencing Truth, being open to non verbals languages, or ways of teaching, that move us away from the constriction of the mind creating a space for awareness...

A Mystical Element within Creativity for a Fashonable World

Creativity is the becoming fashionable word in yet one I feel is least understood and for some it brings a sense of uneasiness if they have not opened up to this amazing energy that is our inheritance. People know at some level that creativity allows a space within the psyche...a moment where they are released from the constant chatter of the mind. I believe this happens on a scale slide. People join a choir because it takes them into the heart space and...

The more abstract the medium is the more release from the mind structure or tightness. Creativity flows in this open space of the mind that is engaged in abstract work. As that space is strengthened and enlarged it allows for the energy of knowing to emerge. This source energy may lead you to a new creative medium so that the creativity is being fed, it is opening up a space within us that the source knowing energy can utilise. The creativity is the vessel for the knowing to emerge. It may or may not be in a verbal message. There is some art (abstract) where the knowing

We need to learn to walk organically free from fear. One often hears the statement of one suffering with Mental Illness that they have lost their awareness of colour. Yes they have lost the awareness, but it is with a variety of tools that we choose, that are unique for everyone, that allows transmutation of the colours. We as a society look for a cure, perhaps it is the supporting hand that enables the journeyer to bring forth their colours. 'There in the Grace of God go I " becomes a beautiful reality....

Inner Healer – Mindful of an Inner Push to Attend a Training

What we were taught was a very simple process, this process has been taught and used in all sorts of mainstream therapeutic modalities. One practitioner told me she had been taught by a Minister. I was taught by counselling modality. But there are still lots of people who are not aware of this process that opens us up to experiencing, what I call, their own 'Inner Healer'. I am sure that the process would have many different names to different people. The process is this amazing embodiment of healing that happens....

These Universal truths are for everybody not just the religious, or spiritual. Whether experiencing severe mental illness, or maybe that insidious thought that say's I'm OK, perhaps a little blind to the sometimes unhelpful limiting mental stances that we adopt in life. It is that need for the sense of structure, the rules, the internal and external that can give us a false sense of safety, the limiting beliefs, the strong stance of the mind that feels it needs its protective stance and keep us from experiencing....

What most people don't realise is that, with skillful facilitation, the anger that is being expressed in a safe nonverbal medium, being crayons and paper, can transmute to an inner awakening that also sits with the language of red. As that inner awakening starts to happen, still in the colour red, the person can begin to take an inner journey...

I have learned since that prayer is indeed a journey towards that inner alignment, it can be a letting go of the situation, and for myself it happened powerfully on an experiential level and it is then we find us ourselves suddenly experiencing an inner peace one that goes beyond the mind, whilst at the same time we have linked in to experiencing the gift of faith which is within us.
