It takes more than blind faith
The Openhand Message about the Five Gateways seems to be gaining traction, slowly but resolutely. It seems everywhere we go with our Five Gateways Seminar, it may take a while for the penny to drop about the deep spiritual significance of this profound route map, but when it does, it's as if the light suddenly comes on. You can see it in a person's eyes when they really 'get it' and the glow in their aura. But to some, it does indeed fall of deaf ears. I was pondering this at a recent event and wondering why?

What does it really mean to forgive?
On our course The Transfiguration, we speak about the importance of not apportioning blame and instead taking full responsibility for the lives we're creating. One vital aspect of this approach is that of forgiveness: realising 'the other person' is not to blame and therefore being able to forgive them.

How do we become a channel for the Miraculous?
In my book Five Gateways, I've detailed what I feel to be the five key transitions on route to Enlightenment and our ultimate Ascension. It's a journey of profound honesty with ourselves, seeking always to express the authentic beingness within us. As we peel away layers of conditioning and negative behaviours, the journey leads increasingly to a sense of mystical, internal positivity: the realisation that something magical is dawning all around us, that this flow to the higher paradigm is inevitable and to truly experience it, we have to open a space for it to flow into our hearts. We're becoming a Positive Force for Change...

What brings you joy in life?
The world is moving through challenging times. Sometimes events and circumstances can get heavy. Whilst processing our stuff is positive, dwelling too heavily in it is counterproductive. It can drag us down. So how might we keep our heads above water? How can we stay afloat in the rising torrent of human emotion? Well one answer is 'The Endorphin Effect'. Endorphins are chemicals we can produce in our bodies to block negative energy and make us feel positively uplifted and joyful inside. It is endorphins which create the feeling of being in love for example. So how might we generate a greater sense of internal joy and love in our lives?...
