It's five to one in the morning but quite frankly if I don't write this now perhaps I won't get round to it for another six months. I have no idea where I have been as to not write this, but I have come to the conclusion that sometimes one has to study in life to learn and sometimes we have to take some practical lessons. I think that's what I have been doing actually.....and it's been an inspirational journey.
Our new puppy has been a wonderful addition to the family and I take him out into the fields every morning for a 3 mile hike across some of Suffolk's most beautiful countryside. Perhaps I am just getting old, but I LOVE walking him and the effect it is having on my mind, body and spirit. I often find myself in the middle of a huge open beautiful space thinking how lucky I am to be able to live in such an amazing place. I love watching the seasons change, as so far, I have trudged through snow and rain, picked Spring flowers and of course at the moment during this heatwave I have watched the crops gradually ripen in the sun. I feel fit and healthy and my mind has never been clearer. And I am totally in love......... with our little black Miniature Schnauzer Woody.
The other walk though, the spiritual one, is not for the faint hearted, some find it difficult to understand why I can not simply stop. I have of course come off the path a few times, but it keeps finding me in the end and the draw to continue is extraordinary. I am not sure that even the work I did a couple of years ago has a any relevance to what I am learning and passing on in my teaching today. I have discovered so many new understandings, which have gone on to help other people..thank you universe.
Of course, we must have bad in this world so we can understand what good is. But it's how we approach this that matters. Learning to detach from negative people and those with an ego is tough and can be very painful. It always comes back to the self and I understand that you only attract what you already are into your life. But the ego is, in my opinion, the nearest thing to evil as we know it. A human led by ego is afraid, needs constant approval, is insecure, and will take no regard for others and their feelings.
The human who has let go of their ego, lives from the soul within. The soul knows there is no need to be afraid of being alone, as we are never really alone. The soul does not need approval, as approval from others doesn't exist...after all, who is better than another? The soul trusts in itself and feels at one, it recognises that insecurity is merely a waste of it's energy.
The soul is an extraordinary energy, the ultimate energy, and when that energy is used in the right way then it can heal the body, the mind and your path in life. Those who's lives are spiralling out of control are living from the ego.
I have worked on my energy for some months now and I have watched interesting things take place, I can not emphasise enough the importance of giving your energy away. Life is a series of adventures and moments, some will make you feel wonderful whilst others will be tough. It's how you see them that matters, what you learn from them. Letting go of a situation when it's difficult allows the Law of Karma to take place, let the Universe sort out your problems and just move on. I have found it difficult at times but seeing others wasting their energy on situations is a wonderful reminder that I need to let go too.
I have some wonderful people in my life and I have learnt some wonderful lessons from some not so wonderful situations, now it's time to go and work with those who want to change and be happy and wish goodbye and good luck to those who don't.
Right bed time.....the sun will be rising up above those fields soon and a little dog will be giving me that look!

Cyril Scott
I have had this recurring dream for a few years now, well actually I have had two recurring dreams but the one I will share with you now strangely has come true...sort of. I dream I am in a big house, I feel it's mine and and each time I dream, I spend time in different room. At the end of each dream I climb a small staircase to an attic and there is a book shelf full of very old books. I seem to know in my dream that if I was to pull out a book and read it, it would give the answer to so much about life. Naturally, every time I am just about to read the book I wake up or am woken up with "Mummy are there any pain au chocolate for breakfast?" So frustrating!
Until the other day, I went into this rather hidden old second hand book shop in our local town and found a book called The Initiate by His Pupil. Written in the 1920's it is the most profound literature I have read for a long time. With a little research I discovered "His Pupil" was the great composer Cyril Scott who looks uncannily like Richard E. Grant in his youth! Scott was an extraordinary man who not only composed some beautiful music but wrote many books on health, and the Occult.
The very mention of the word Occult can send some people into a spin, but this is merely true spiritual enlightenment and has nothing to do with cauldrons and witches. Scott writes so beautifully and despite his rather old English language one soon gets into the flow of it and he makes such sense. Needless to say I am now the proud owner of all his books and am studying rather than reading them and will be sharing with you over the months some of his wonderful knowledge.
Most importantly, I am very excited to have corresponded with his son Desmond Scott who has given me a little more insight into his wonderful father. For those of you who are tired of reading the same old self help books and are ready to move up a level then please read his work.
I have come to realise that the road to enlightenment is a two part journey. Some of it is practical in the shape of soul-mates who come into our lives to help us to learn to be better people, and then the second part in theory. I have spent a while now working on the practical and am enjoying the studying at the moment.
Last year was for my understanding and healing, this year feels productive and full of hope. Scott explains that material wealth holds no energy that will last and make you happy, only your soul carries your true happiness. When you have realised this then you can move forward with conviction.
Peace
