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
