2025 was a year of change and new beginnings for me, I had separated from my wife 15/10/24, I was living in a room in a shared house, hardly ideal living conditions for me. I was ashamed because I was 64 years old and I found myself washed up on the shore of life, starting from scratch once again, my house mates were half my age. I must admit to feeling a complete failure, but I had a roof over my head and a bed thankful that I was not homeless, I referred to my room as my bolt hole. Whilst I grieved for my marriage, and excited by a new relationship with my girlfriend Julie, this created juxtaposed emotions within me, sadness over my deceased marriage, and contemplating whether I should have entered into a new relationship so soon after separating from my wife. As I had only just started divorce proceedings in December 2024. I saw in the new year with Julie as we stood in the doorway of my digs watching the fireworks, smoking a cigar drinking whisky. I could only wonder what the new year would bring.
I found myself going through a maelstrom of emotions, Julie brought into my life a selfless unconditional love, that gave me the emotional support and healing that I needed, and kept me from sinking into depression and alcohol. I will be forever grateful for her presence in my life at that time, she kept me going when I felt all was lost. To my surprise during this time I found that my mediumship was getting stronger. I can only suggest that when I was living with the ex wife, that we were living in a state of inertia, now I was free from that state of inertia, vibrational energies around me had changed to becoming more vibrant, and I was able to reach up to spirit with a much clearer energy, that greatly improved my link to spirit. I now realise that at that time as it is now is a time of spiritual development, to keep moving forward no matter what was happening, to become at peace with myself taking my vibrational frequency to a higher level. I often tell people that we have to create the right energies for spirit to be able to communicate in, that energy is LOVE. My spiritual development is now developing love through awakening Christ consciousness within.
Before leaving the marital home, I applied for social housing with Hampshire County Council. After filling in the lengthy application form and proving that I had the right to apply for social housing in Hampshire. I was told it could take up to two years to get accommodation. I was pleased that my application had been accepted, and I had taken another step towards creating a new life, a life that gave me security and a forever home, I would bid on homes every Wednesday when homes were advertised. Working for meals on wheels I had delivered meals to many homes that were small and compact, I thought I would get one of those homes for the older person, they have what I needed a separate bedroom, lounge, bathroom, and kitchen. That I did not have to share with anyone, as I was going a bit stir crazy living in that room. 05/06/25 I was offered a property as I had a local connection through my work, 12/06/25 I went to view the property and signed for the keys to the property, it was a large flat near to where I work. I had taken on the tenancy of the flat a blank canvas that could be turned into my forever home, feeling that I had bitten off more than I could chew, as I had no money to decorate or buy white goods and furniture. But I could see the path was opening up in front of me, I had to go for it and move forward, working it out as I go.
A pension company kept emailing me, asking me to look at my pension with them, and decide on what to do with the money. I thought it was a small pension with only £500 to a £1000 in it, as I was in need of cash to invest in the decoration and kitting out of my new home. I decided to have a look at it, to my absolute surprise and delight, the pension was worth £16,400. I was very excited as I now had the money, to create and get everything I needed for my new home. As I had left my marital home with my clothes and DVD collection, I cashed in my pension and paid £4,100 in tax on my pension, this payment in tax I resent to this day, leaving me with £12,300. but enough to sort out my new home and new life. I was a bit daunted by this new project as I had never done anything like this before, 15/06/25 I gave my landlord one months notice on my room, so I had a month to transform my new home and move out of my room. I am useless at DIY so I advertised for a decorator with varying estimates, the decorator I picked decided not to show up, in desperation I put it on Facebook to ask if anyone knew of a decorator who could help me, a medium friend of mine suggested her husband Shawn, I contacted Shawn and he agreed to decorate my flat, he also agreed to build the flat pack wardrobe and install the white goods I had ordered. I will always be grateful to Shawn, for helping me out in my hour of need and for all his hard work. 15/07/25 I moved into my new home fully furnished and decorated.
The year of 2025 has been totally amazing, from down and demoralized the end of my marriage, to a complete new life with a new woman, I finally have a rock solid foundation to grow and become. As I realise I am becoming a new version of myself through spiritual development, since moving in I have opened a spiritual development circle, have done a trance sit, I hope people will visit my home for trance healing and spiritual guidance. throughout 2025 I have realised no matter how dark the day, spirit and the universe will assist us in our journey, if we put our greatest and highest good first, and keep moving forward rather than drowning in our hurt.
Sitting at home awaiting Julie my girlfriend to arrive, thinking of the drive to premier inn Blackburn south. Contemplating my third visit north to serve spirit, as previous blogs will testify, knowing I am honored and privileged to be invited to serve northern churches three years in a row. Knowing I want to be the best medium that I can be for spirit, and reminding myself we mediums are nothing without spirit, we mediums all to often get caught up in the hype of showbiz spiritualism, leading to exaggerated expectations and ego, I love to travel in my service to spirit, I was told by spirit years ago that I would demonstrate all over the country. It is great to serve new churches and to meet so many dedicated people who run spiritualist churches.
This years visit is bitter sweet as in the last ten months I have separated from my wife, final order of divorce due in late August, now I have a girlfriend and a new home, it has been a rollercoaster of upheaval change and emotions. It was as if I fell asleep in one world and awoke in another, the last ten months have been a time of adjustment for me, adapting to my new world whilst saying a long slow painful farewell to my old world, throughout the last ten months whilst serving spirit in churches. I have found that my mediumship has got stronger and more evidential, I realise that as my marriage was coming to an end I was in a state of inertia, now out of that state of inertia energies are rising and my mediumship is becoming stronger. I have struggled to adapt to my new world as I loved my wife deeply, Julie has been very patient and understanding with me, it still feels strange at times not having my wife around anymore, and not sensing that beautiful togetherness I thought we had.
Sitting at breakfast this morning. with memories of bringing my wife here in 2023, it hit me like a freight train that I had got my life back my life has been reset back to as it was before I met my wife in 2017, when I dwell on my memories of my wife I am living in a past lament. My life has been reset for a reason so now I must embrace it, there must be much to do, for my life to be reset in this way. This thought is very empowering, as I have always felt I am a leaf being blown by the spirit breeze to wherever spirit need me to be, the sense of freedom and purpose I feel right now is indescribable, last year northern light 2024 I grieved for lost love, it was very hard to raise my vibration out of my grief to spirit somehow we managed, this year northern light 2025 is a journey of development discovery and service.
It was great to be serving Clitheroe Spiritualist Church once again. Myself and Julie received a warm welcome from Angela, the new president of the church and her husband Mark, Angela asked me to pick a song or a hymn for service, I picked the hymn Open My Eyes, a traditional spiritualist hymn and one of the first hymns I sang in a spiritualist church 47 years ago, Open My Eyes is still my favourite hymn, I was delighted when Angela told me she was very happy that I had picked a traditional spiritualist hymn. The energy within the church was warm and friendly, a good energy to open to spirit. I took my coffee into the mediums room to meditate and open my channel to spirit, as I opened heart and mind to spirit. I felt the presence of an angel, and George who always calls out his name when I open to spirit, and a black cat.
I was asked to light a candle on platform before I opened the service in prayer, I asked for the light of the candle to bring healing to all in need, opened in prayer followed by the lords prayer. We sang Open My Eyes, then it was time for me to demonstrate mediumship, I see this as a time to connect loved ones in spirit to loved ones on earth, it is a privilege to pass on messages from loved ones in spirit, and I am so very humbled to be a part of that connection. Not only for evidence of survival after physical death, this is secondary to me what is more important is the love, healing, comfort, upliftment, and guidance. A message from a loved one in spirit can bring to a loved one on earth, I was taught that evidence should be given purely for recognition purposes only. This became apparent, when I was connecting a grandmother in spirit to her teenage grandson, she gave her grandson evidence, that his mother sitting next to him did not know. The grandmother in spirit gave her grandson on earth a birthday cake, he confirmed he had just had his seventeenth birthday.
After service he came to me and thanked me for the message, he told me the reason he comes to Clitheroe Spiritualist Church is to talk to his grandmother. I was humbled by this, as yet again it reminds me of why we mediums do what we do for spirit, the heart to heart connection from spirit communicators to their beloved on earth, messages from spirit should always be given through the heart, as they bring upliftment comfort and healing to the bereaved. There is great purpose in spirit communication, to bring not only upliftment comfort and healing, also to bring teaching to raise the collective consciousness of the human soul. Towards the end of service I was giving a lady a message from a spirit lady who came with a black cat, as I mentioned the cat, a dog who had been sitting quietly throughout the service, started growling and barking at something behind me, Angela said this was the best evidence of the night. Another example I would like to share with you 30/07/25 I was serving Cadoxten Spiritualist Church, I gave a message to a young man from several of his loved ones in spirit, after service he told me he walked into church as a sceptic, but messages I passed onto him from his loved ones in spirit, were on point and accurate, and that he would attend church every week to learn more about life after death. The path of spiritual service is so sacred and divine, to be able to bring enlightenment and healing to all who seek through heart to heart connection is beyond words and earthly reward.

My third visit to connections of light Darwen. I must say I love to serve connections, as it is a opportunity to meet old friends, from when I used to do zoom demonstrations for them in lockdown. was lovely to see Andy, Sylvia, Karen, Alice, and Stephanie again. Connections is a high energy church and it is a privilege to open to spirit in this high energy, I am often telling people you get out of spirit communication what you put into it. There is the loving power of spirit within connections of light, because the energy of love has been created within the church by those who run it and also the people who attend. I wish more churches and centres understood, that the building they are in is a medium for spirit, and it is important that the energy of love must be created within the building, to create the right environment for spirit to communicate in. As spirit reach out to us from a realm of unconditional love. Connections also serve their community as a spiritual hub, running workshops and demonstrations from many spiritual disciplines, also raising money for local people and charities and social events. It is an honour for me to serve connections of light. As for the demonstration of mediumship, the love flowed between the spirit and physical realms, evidence was on point and accepted. As always I look forward to serving connections of light next year.

It was originally intended, that I should demonstrate transfiguration and trance at Wigan SNU Church, unfortunately Wigan had a flood and they have builders in repairing flood damage, and they would not be open in time for me and my spirit team to demonstrate. Tina the booking secretary for Wigan suggested that she would offer my demonstration of transfiguration and trance to local churches to see if anyone of them would like to host transfiguration and trance. I was delighted when Horwich National Spiritualist Church, offered to host transfiguration and trance the same night, as the Wigan demonstration would have been. Chris the president contacted me and arrangements were made.
HorwichNational Spiritualist Church, is a large church with a hundred and twenty six years of history of serving it’s community,it is an honour and privilege to serve there, I was met by the committee who opened the church. I set up the cabinetthe lovely Janet agreed to workwith me, and guide people who wanted to ask my spirit guide questions to the chair next to the cabinet. Janette told me they have trance demonstrations at Horwich, but this would be the first one with a cabinet and red light. I advised Janette that I wanted to demonstrate transfiguration and trance in the old traditional way, using the cabinet to harness spirit energy, and red light to help people to see spirit easier.
Janet introduced meto the twenty sitters in attendance. I gave a short talk about how transfiguration and trance works, what may happen within the cabinet, as I explained to the sitters something or nothing may happen, as each transfiguration and trance sit that I do is experimental and developmental. Also the safety rules the do’s and dont’s, I sat in the cabinet giving the opening prayer asking for protection and inviting my spirit team to use me as a channel for transfiguration and trance, going into my countdown meditation to trance state.
When I returned back into my physical consciousness, sitters told me they had seen my spirit guides in transfiguration describing them accurately, also some of the sitters had witnessed loved ones appear in transfiguration, the ladies who asked my spirit guide questions told me their questions were answered and now they have a greater understanding of eternal life. Many of the sitters said they experienced the healing energies from the cabinet. I left Horwich National Spiritualist Church, feeling empowered and energised that my spirit team had touched hearts, also a invitation to return next year.

I am very muchlooking forward to serving Bankfoot SNU Church this evening, my last service of this years Northern Light. This will be the second time I have served Bankfoot, it is a large friendly spiritualist church in Bradford, tonight will be a divine service, with a inspired address and messages from loved ones. I will meditate to receive inspiration for the address from my spirit guides, inviting them to choose which of my poems to read out before I give the address. Today I will rest and meditate as I intend to drive home over night, as I am serving Bognor Regis Spiritualist Centre tomorrow evening.
Arrivingat Bankfoot SNU Church around 6pm, I had plenty of time to prepare for service, spiritual healing was being given in the main church, a lady made myself and Julie a cup of coffee. I relaxed as the church began to fill with people, I went to a quiet room to meditate, Steve who chaired for me last year again chaired for me thisyear, Steve asked me if I was going to give philosophy. I said yes as I see philosophy and teaching as a integral part of raising consciousness, spiritualism with just evidential mediumship is just a glimpse of the truth of eternal life. Knowledge should be givento allow people to put the way of eternal life, into their spiritual practice.The service began I gave the opening prayer followed by the lords prayer, then a meditation to receive spiritual healing was given by the lovely Christine, a lady read out a reading teaching us that everything happens in it’s own time. and that we are all loved and guided, I followed this with an inspired address, stating that we should be aware that we are eternal now, and that we have chosen life on the earth plane, to evolve our eternal soul and the collective consciousness of the human race,
We sang a hymn then it was time for me to connect loved ones in spirit to loved ones present in the church. The energy within the church suddenly uplifted, the messages flowed and evidence was accepted, the laughter of those in attendance really raised the energy, one message I was blessed to have given from a Jewish professor in spirit, to a Muslim lady in the congregation, showing me himself so I could give a full description of him, he also gave her a Menorah Candelabra, the lady was overjoyed to receive a message from him, as he was a very close friend and they used to share deep conversations about religion. That was the last message I closed in prayer we said the vesper, after a cup of coffee and a big slice of Victoria sponge it was time to drive home, as I am serving Bognor Regis Spiritualist Centre 10/08/25. I have come away from Northern Light 2025, feeling empowered and truly blessed, hoping to do it all again next year.

We often talk about how life is treating us, we never ask the question of how are we treating life. I live in the knowledge that life is a state of heart and mind, we create our lives from our vibrational state of heart and mind, life is a inner creation rather than an outward experience of perception. All life forms on this planet are conscious with their own distinct vibrational frequency, we should not underestimate the power of our thoughts and emotions, as they are powerful vibrations, with the energy to change life around us like attracts like, as spirit teaches us thought is the most powerful thing in the universe.
To Be Or Not To Be Tis The Question, Whether It Is Nobler In The Mind, To Suffer The Slings And Arrows Of Outrageous Fortune, Or To Take Up Arms Against A Sea Of Troubles, And By Opposing End Them.
Hamlet.
All consciousness has freewill, we must be respectful of this powerful freedom of thought and emotion, and be mindful of the choices we make, as we are creating our lives, life moves forward in a constant rhythm in our world of physical matter. I realise that within the natural laws governing our planet, we must always be moving forward. One door closes another door will open, this is not just an old saying. I have realised this is a truth within natural law, the problems begin when we are banging on the closed door, rather than moving forward and preparing to go through the open door. Life in our physical world of matter, is about change for the evolution of our eternal soul.
We chose to live this life on earth for the evolution of our eternal soul, when we think in terms of eternity, our short life span on this earth is less than a blink of an eye. in this life we experience many changes in mind, body, and spirit. Such as growing young to old, relationships come and go, our beloved passes away, jobs and homes come and go. These are all times of change that cause us hurt and pain, yes we must embrace our hurt and pain, and ask the questions as to why we feel the way we do, what attachments have we formed, to give us greater insight to the spiritual truths, to help us to become aware of how to conduct our lives within the flow of natural and universal law. If we are constantly banging on the closed door, this will lead to our lives to stagnate and become a state of inertia.
Rather than preparing to walk through the open door to a new life and reality, nine months ago my marriage ended, when my ex wife told me she no longer loved me. Yes I was devastated as I loved my wife deeply, I moved from a comfortable home with a beautiful willow tree on the green, to a room in a shared house, 15/10/24 sharing the bathroom and kitchen. I left with my clothes and boxes of dvd’s. As I told my ex wife this was not my first rodeo I knew exactly what I must do. Whilst embracing my sadness I looked forward, knowing I must not go down in heart and mind as I needed my job to be able to afford to live, I had registered for social housing I was bidding on homes every Wednesday, this was creating energy going forward for my new life. this was a time of preparation of letting go of my marriage, and opening the door to a new life.
Myself and an old lady friend Julie, who contacted me to see how I was during my separation, became close as she supported me through my heartbreak.A Mazda salesman contacted me to see if I wanted to rent a brand new Mazda 3 as I could not afford a brand new Mazda 3. I picked up my new Mazda 3 05/03/25. I feel my spirit guides were working with me to create a new life, as myself and Julie had separately wanted to become closer, also I needed a car upgrade as I was travelling further afield in the service of spirit. I was becoming claustrophobic in my small room in a shared house, and resentful of my ex wife for putting me in that position. I knew this was negative energy to feel and it would hold me back from moving forward, I had to change this into a positive energy as positive balances negative in universal law, so I focused my thoughts and emotions into visualising myself in a new home.
In late May I was contacted by Winchester council offering me a flat, as I had a local connection through my job with meals on wheels. On 12/06/25 I signed the contract and got the keys to my new home, my new home was a blank shell with nothing in it. I was worried that I did not have the funds to create my new home, as I am retiring next year, pension companies were contacting me to see what I wanted to do with the money within the pensions. I thought they were worth around a £1000.00, I looked at one pension and to my total surprise and delight, this pension was worth £16,300, so I cashed in this pension after tax it was worth £12,400. this gave me the funds to decorate and buy everything I need for my new home. White goods, furniture, a bed with chaise longue, carpets, the whole kit and caboodle costing me around £11000.00. I moved into my new home 15/07/25, now I am looking forward to spending the rest of my days here. Life moves forward in a constant rhythm, we must become what we need to become, in heart mind and our actions, accept the door to the life we thought we wanted has closed and prepare to go through the open door to a new life. All this was achieved through the practice of spiritual teaching, and going with the flow of universal and natural law, our lives are what we are within.
What I am about to write is something that I have struggled with for years,my heart was broken into a zillion pieces way back in 1986, memories come to mind of the girl when I hear certain songs, or something I see on television that reminds of the day in 1986, my heart was broken. December 1985 my friend Del invited me out with his girlfriend, and her friend Lisa (using a different name to protect her privacy) who was very interested to meet me, as Del had told her I am a medium. The four of us met at a nightclub in Reading, Lisa was a pretty girl with long black hair and beautiful eyes. I was immediately attracted to her, we drank we danced we laughed and talked, I told her about my mediumship which she took great interest in, at the end of the evening I plucked up the courage to ask her for her phone number, which to my suprise and delight she gave me her phone number.
I phoned Lisa a couple of days later from the phone box outside my school on the Langley Road, to my absolute delight Lisa agreed to go out on a date with me, we made arrangements to meet for drinks in The Blagrave Arms in Reading, then go to a pizza restaurant afterwards. After a drink in The Blagrave Arms we moved to The Tudor Arms, the song playing on the jukebox was Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys, as I listened to the words of the song I knew I was falling for Lisa, she was a beautiful girl and we seemed very much in tune with each other. After pizza I walked her to the taxi rank at Reading railway station, and on that crisp frosty night we kissed our lips embracing in a magical moment, and we agreed we would like to see a lot more of each other, I opened the taxi door and bid Lisa farewell until next time, I travelled home on the train back to Slough, elated I had kissed a beautiful girl, and the fact that she wanted to date me in the future.
At the timeI did not drive but I was learning to drive, as travelling by public transport to demonstrate mediumship in Spiritualist churches was becoming a real chore, this meant I would travel to Reading to meet Lisa in Reading. I passed my driving test February 17th 1986, I bought my first car a Cortina Crusader, now I had my independence I could drive to Spiritualist Churches, and pick up Lisa from her work as a live in nanny for a family in Caversham. We dated for several months and I had fallen head over heels in love with Lisa, and I felt she felt the same way about me, one balmy evening in July 1986 Lisa asked me to give her a baby and nature took it’s course. I said to her if you fall pregnant with our baby I will marry you, Lisa was against the idea of getting married but she said, we could live together to raise our child, and if everything worked out then she would marry me. I was over the moon everything was falling into place for me, as I was with the love of my life and we were about to become a family.
August 1986 everything was going well although Lisa was becoming more distant from me, I asked her if she had fallen for our baby and Lisa told me she was not pregnant, asking me to wear a condom when we made love, this I thought was strange as I thought she wanted to start a family with me, Lisa told me that she had asked me for a baby whilst in the throes of passion with me, but she had second thoughts, and thought it was best to wait until she was sure she wanted to have a baby with me. This I accepted as being a sensible decision, I have always worn my heart on my sleeve and I thought me and Lisa would be together forever, and it would be best to build our relationship slowly. In September 1986 Lisa joined me and my family for a day out at a steam rally, Lisa hardly said a word to me all day, this concerned me I wondered what I had done wrong, but Lisa would not tell me what was a matter with her.
It came the time to take Lisa home back to Caversham, as we drove I was asking her to talk to me and tell me why she was being so quiet and distant from me, I stopped the car outside her home Lisa took my hand with tears in her eyes, she told me that she could not see me anymore she loved me it was not my fault it was hers. I begged Lisa to change her mind telling her no matter what was wrong we could work through it, Lisa was very emotional but adamant she could not see me anymore and that it was best we split up, and would not tell me why we should split up, Lisa got out of the car and went inside. I was absolutely devastated my whole world being destroyed around me. I drove home sobbing my heart out feeling that half of me had been ripped away from me, over the next month I was phoning Lisa begging her to talk to me, eventually she agreed to come out for a drink with me so we could talk, by this time Lisa’s job had ended, and she moved back to Sonning Common to live with her father, I picked Lisa up and we went to the local pub, I spent the evening begging Lisa to come back to me, and that whatever was wrong we could put it right.
Lisa invited me back to her home for coffee, promising me she would finally tell me why she had broken up with me. As we sat in the kitchen with our coffee Lisa told me she had in fact been pregnant with my baby, but it was wrong to have my baby as I am a spiritualist medium, the elders at her catholic church had advised her to terminate the pregnancy, as I was a spiritualist medium because demons were working through me, and she had in fact conceived a demons baby. I was horrified and could not believe what I was hearing, Lisa told me she had terminated the pregnancy a week after ending our relationship, saying she had gone back to her catholic faith, because in her catholic teaching she knew it was wrong to be with a spiritualist medium. I felt deeply sick in the pit of my stomach, that she had aborted our child because of my spiritual practice and knowledge, by this time we were both crying, Lisa said her elders had told her she had sinned by being with me, and she had broken the first commandment.
I the lord am your God you shall not have other Gods besides me.
I reminded Lisa that I am a Christian Spiritualist, and that we pray to the same God as the catholic church, and that there is only one God for everybody no matter what the different religions choose to name that God. I reminded Lisa that I wear a cross and know of Jesus Christ and the christ light, and had spoken to Jesus in meditation and given messages to people from him, and that Jesus is the true example of my knowledge he lived and died and rose again into eternal life, I reminded Lisa of her telling me about people speaking in tongues in her church, and were they sure that in fact demons were not communicating through them and they were actually speaking the words of demons. I told Lisa about all the sexual and physical abuse committed on young people by catholic priests and nuns. By this time I was very angry and told Lisa, that the devil and his demons were alive and well and working through the catholic church, and that her elders were being controlled by demons through their ignorance and hypocrisy, and that I thought the catholic church was against abortion, stating the 5th commandment.
Thou shall not kill.
How could she and the church elders justify killing an innocent life, when in their own belief system God commands them not to kill. Lisa told me the church elders justified her having an abortion as our child was the son of Satan, and would inflict great evil on our earth. I was very angry, I felt so dirty that Lisa believed I worked with and was being controlled the devil, and betrayed by Lisa, believing that our child had been conceived through an act of love, also absolutely mortified that our child had been murdered by religious ignorance and hypocrisy, that I thought only existed in medieval times. Our relationship was now over, I drove home sat down asking God Angels and Spirit Guides to give our baby safe transition into spirit and healing, the hurt from this has continued to this day. The fact that our child was murdered by Lisa and her catholic church elders because of me being a spiritualist medium, has made me sick to the core of my being. It has taken me thirty seven years to write about this and put it out there, hoping healing will come, so that I can forgive and through my knowledge and mediumship end religious ignorance and hypocrisy forever.
God within me God without, how shall I ever be in Doubt. I am the sower and the sown, God’s self unfolding own.
Meister Eckhart
As a Christian Spiritualist, Jesus is the one true example of all I know to be the truth. He was a soul living an earthly life through a physical body, and a material world. He was fully aware of his soul connection to the source, that we have named God. He was also a medium and healer, and when he died his spirit left his body and went into spirit, so what makes Jesus so different to me, or any of us, I believe it is now the time to really change our perception of ourselves. As I have long realised he was the personification of us all, his message was very simple I am you. And we can all develop the same love, compassion, kindness, as Jesus by knowing he came to show the human race who we truly are.
We are souls living and learning through a human experience, this is what I believe he was teaching us, when he said, “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” Jesus is an ascended master do we really think that he wanted to be worshipped, with worship it focusses all the goodness and divinity onto him, and makes us blind to our own goodness and divinity, and to his teachings, distracting us from developing his teachings from within, making us the hopeless sinners we are led to believe we are by organised religion. I feel strongly to say he wanted us to listen to him, and learn from him, about the truth of our existence here on mother earth, and to our soul connection to what we have named God, and for his teachings to be passed down through the ages. By doing this the consciousness and vibration of the human race, would have been raised to a much higher level, collectively and individually, this I believe was the purpose of Jesus being here on earth, he was actually trying to save us from ourselves, but through religion we have totally missed the point of the teaching and lessons. Religion is great for souls to come together, to share support and grow together, but sadly it has been corrupted by mans need for power and control.
Jesus had his troubles and temptations here in his short earthy life as we do, yet throughout his life he taught and guided us, how to deal with our problems, this is Jesus man and teacher, he dealt with his problems with love and intuition, at times he did not have the answers so he prayed, he asked for guidance and direction, as we do when we are lost, he was tempted by the devil out in the desert, for strength to resist temptation he prayed, and in doing so he was attuning himself, to the source of his being that we have named God, and in doing so attuning himself to his higher self, in his life story the source was identified as his father, I know the source to be the father and mother of us all depending on your perspective of the source. I really feel strongly to say it is wrong to believe, that Jesus was the son of God, in fact he was our brother, teaching us of our connection to the source throughout his life, to believe Jesus was the son of God, makes him some kind of supernatural being, within our human biological mindset.
When in truth Jesus was exactly the same as us, mind, body, spirit, soul, living an earthly existence to experience, learn, give, and grow. To look on Jesus as a supernatural being, is now very old hat and wrong we have to remember that Jesus, was communicating to people 2000 years ago , so the source through him was communicating to the level of understanding at the time, we now live in a time of science and technology, its about time our understanding of life and spirituality, moved along with the times, but man made religion likes to keep us in our place, so we remain its servants via a man made supernatural being, and making us feel incapable of attaining, what Jesus taught us what is naturally within us.
When Jesus spoke of his fathers house I strongly believe, he was talking of what we believe is heaven, or as I believe the spirit world, the many mansions he spoke of, to me are the many many levels of spirit within the spirit world, nobody knows how many levels there are, as there are many lives and existences we know nothing about, it is a massive universe we live in. Jesus said he would prepare a place for us, I really do not believe Jesus meant as religion tells us, that we have to believe in him or the man made religion that adopted him, to gain a place with him in heaven or the spirit world, the place he would be preparing for us would be defined by, the life we led here on earth by our thoughts and actions, as to the kind of room that would be prepared for us. My house has many mansions means to me, that there is room for all, our thoughts and actions here on earth dictate, whether we land up living eternally in a palace, or a slum, a nice maisonette, a council estate, or suburbia. Our level of spirit is dictated by our soul progression, again by our thoughts and actions here on earth, we can as souls go up and down the levels of spirit, depending on our thoughts and actions, the choice is ours Jesus was guiding us to choose love, kindness, and compassion, over hatred, anger, selfishness , ignorance. We all have the universal gift of freewill, so we should make our choices wisely, freewill is the engine of spirit and soul development, let us make the template for our lives the teachings of Jesus, and all the other ascended masters, because they all brought the same message to us, the truth has one source but many different teachers, depending on our level of understanding.
Jesus life was teaching us the universal way of life, but in doing so he upset the religion of the time, because he was teaching us that we are responsible for our lives, and how we live it and not as a servant to man made religion, and in doing so taking away the power that religion had over the people. He upset the local government which were the romans at that time, by the amount of people that were following Jesus teachings, they feared civil unrest with the possibility of being overthrown.
At this time we see Jesus the man, living life by his freewill and choices, because his teachings were love, I honestly do not believe he realised how much upset, he was causing, he was upsetting religion and government, the two most powerful factions of the time and still are to this day. On his crucifixion Jesus said “father forgive them for they know not what they do” but they knew exactly what they were doing, they were getting rid of a trouble maker, because of the collective ego, they did not want to lose there power, they chose that over change and progression, to a better way of life, yes they were driven by greed. I do not believe Jesus wanted to die that day, as he prayed and asked his father for help to live, religion tells us that Jesus died to save us from sin, again making him supernatural but it was the sin of greed that killed him. We have to take the teachings of universal and unconditional love within, make them our living and speaking truth through the heart, then Jesus death would not have been in vain, whether you believe Jesus existed or not, its a great story that can heal guide and uplift us.
