For thousands of years, ever since mankind started settling in cities, we evolved in rigid, patriarchal and extremely authoritarian structures - at least in the West. This started changing after the industrial revolution and the pace has been picking up since the end...
What impact do my blessings/prayers/meditations really have?
Many people wonder if their blessings have any significant impact. So, I would like to relate the experience of Alyna Rouelle, a young French spiritual leader who, at the time I followed one of her workshops and had a personal coaching session with her, lived solely...
We create our own reality by our way of seeing and interpreting things
“May I learn to discern the perfect plan behind all events of my life. May I see that every single thing that happens in my life is a gift from Providence to enable me to grow and flourish and expand. May I bless those who curse or harm me, those who...
An unshakable trust under all circumstances
Depending on our own vision of the world, of the universe, of history, it is quite possible for us to go through this very troubled period with deep trust. If we believe in a world dependent on the hazards of fate, or simply run by fate, then we should seriously...
A positive vision for 2021
In a world immersed in urgency, with alarm bells ringing left and right and dire predictions for our future, how dare I come up with a banner marked, “Yes, so many good things are happening”? Simply because how we look upon the world is a purely subjective vision...
Deep trust in troubled times
“…may I trust Divine Love sufficiently to know that ultimately all is very, very well in the unfolding of the incredible divine Plan already written into the destiny of the universe for me and all.”365 Blessings to Heal Myself and the World To say the world is going...
The Presence of the Divine
Recently I came across a brief text by Joel Goldsmith* which really shook me in my foundations! It also made me become aware of how we can use words to protect ourselves in many different ways. You might also wish to refer to the story on this site about my discussion...
When contemplation and action meet
It is my deep conviction that any meaningful religious or spiritual approach must also really address the key issue of today - and that is a world that works for all. Disparities and inequalities in income and opportunities are become so huge, environmental...
So, what could I myself do?
Photo - Merrit Thomas - Unsplash What a powerful message of hope that the Covid 19 lesson has brought even some of the most entrenched defenders of the System to start questioning its existence! After all, is it not incredible that a little beastie (virus) so...
The magic of appreciation
A few years ago, I discovered with wonder a new form of magic: expressing appreciation to others for something they had done. And modern life offers us a thousand different opportunities to manifest that magic. A small example: I live in a community that makes a...
Am I a world citizen?
We live in an infinitely benevolent, ever loving, universe …. but a very, very strange humanly (dis)organized world! After all, a world where a tiny virus weighing a microgram can upset the world economy in a few weeks is either inhabited by a very, very clever...
Guest Blog: John O’Donohue on blessing
The great Irish poet and writer remains a rare master of the English language. His use of words is unique. This month we quote from the introduction to that magical book of blessings of his, To Bless the Space Between Us. PP “It would be infinitely lonely to live in a...
The coronavirus: A Blessing in Disguise?
Pierre Pradervand If a small virus carried by a minuscule bat in the boondocks of China can send the whole world reeling, then apparently there is something in the system which urgently needs healing, and this includes the possibility of major surgery. Eliza Gilkyson...
Self-Completeness
Guest blog ~ Joel S. Goldsmith Once more, Joel Goldsmith - one of a tiny handful of non-dual thinkers of Christian origin (but who very much formulated his own original and powerful vision of this teaching) - stresses that we are nothing of ourselves, any more than a...
Expressing appreciation
There are many activities in our societies that seem of little significance or “unimportant,” but that is such a superficial view of things. It bears repeating that the humblest activity performed with love certainly uplifts the human race more than a high prestige or...
The joy of service
For one who has discovered the deep, nourishing satisfaction of life lived in a spirit of service, finding opportunities of service becomes one of the joys of life. And there are so, so many such opportunities. For those who may be wondering what kind of service they...
2019 Christmas shopping: all records broken?
This year we expect that sales will break all records! However, we cannot help but think that this anniversary celebrates the coming to earth of one of humanity’s greatest avatars - who, additionally, lived in total poverty according to his own words. But even this...
Clear intention + blessing = pure spiritual dynamite
“Blessings …serve not only those who emit them, and not only those to whom they are addressed, but all people in the human community.” From Dr. Laszlo's Foreword to 365 Blessings to Heal Myself and the World. After a professional career spanning well over 50 years...
A New Way to Worship
by guest Rabbi Rami Shapiro – July 07, 2019 Comment: I love what Rabbi Shapiro writes - it is a major step forward from the rigidified religious practices of the past (and for quite a few, still the present.) However, after having been most of my life as a member of...
Social implications of oneness
A dominant aspect of mystical experiences all round the world is that the mystics very often see the links of all things - not only between all humans, but between humans and nature, and sometimes they feel a total immersion with the Ground of Being that upholds the...
The power of saying “Yes”
Dr. David Hawkins was one of the best-known US psychiatrists in the last third of the past century, before becoming at the end of his career a great seer who influenced thousands via his workshops and his books such as The Power vs. Force. He once made the (to some...
