guidance to those searching for something spiritual. It does not<br />
matter what you may be searching for because there will likely<br />
be something for everyone to find. There is a message for<br />
everyone who wants to listen, but if there is anything that does<br />
not sit comfortably with your reasoning or logic, then reject it.<br />
The booklets run in conjunction with a YouTube channel<br />
(Inspiring insights to spiritual life), with recordings of topics<br />
from exerts of the books, but more importantly this may be a<br />

kept to an absolute minimum, anything that remains is then<br />
used towards projects to help anyone in need as a joint project<br />
with organisations or individu<strong>all</strong>y.<br />
Anyone wishing to engage in projects to help anyone who has a<br />
need of the fundamental basics to live day to day, for any<br />

CHAPTER 1<br />
The power of <strong>Love</strong>!<br />
J<br />
UST A TINY FOUR-LETTER WORD which is the most<br />
powerful word in our vocabulary and the Universe. It<br />
liter<strong>all</strong>y is the meaning of life. It is the fundamental natural law<br />
of knowing what is right and what is wrong. The divine love<br />
which we <strong>all</strong> have, it is a part of us, and is the part of our<br />
Creator within us. It is the light within us that can never go out,<br />
however bad we think life can get, it can never leave us<br />
whether we choose to use it, show it, feel it or not.<br />
5
<strong>Love</strong> has no boundaries, no restrictions and no limits. It<br />
manifests itself through our compassion, tolerance and<br />
selflessness which is its true form, love is pure and powerful,<br />
we <strong>all</strong> have this.<br />
Sometimes, we look around and see the mess we have made<br />
for ourselves on our own planet, our home! and wonder what<br />
went wrong, how did we <strong>all</strong>ow things to get this bad and how<br />
can we undo the damage we have done to ourselves, each<br />
other and the planet? It can be difficult to imagine how and<br />
where to start but let us do just that. There is nothing in this<br />
world of matter that we cannot overcome, especi<strong>all</strong>y, when we<br />
are joined together as one. Imagine that we are <strong>all</strong> facets of a<br />
beautiful diamond and when we <strong>all</strong> join together, we form a<br />
beautiful gem.<br />
Nothing exists that is more powerful than the force of love<br />
when joined together as one, it is undoubtedly more powerful<br />
than the forces of destruction that led us into this mess in the<br />
first place. There is nothing more powerful than love, nothing<br />
can stand up to it or destroy it and we <strong>all</strong> have it in abundance.<br />
Many of us have experienced times when we have opened our<br />
heart and it has been ch<strong>all</strong>enged, knocked, abused or used and<br />
this has made us more cautious and guarded, we have<br />
hardened and become cynical in some cases to try and protect<br />
ourselves, we hide it or prefer not to show it for the fear of<br />
being hurt and sometimes, we deliberately deny it and appear<br />
6
cold hearted, but deep inside the light never goes out and the<br />
flicker of warmth is still there. We need to learn to release it<br />
and spread it around so we can <strong>all</strong> feel the healing benefits.<br />
So many conditions and untruths have been forced upon us for<br />
decades, through scare mongering and threats of punishment<br />
if we do not tow the line, and now, we have the internet and <strong>all</strong><br />
that goes with it, which is huge. Looking at the positive side it<br />
has <strong>all</strong>owed us to reach out much further than ever before, we<br />
see, hear and talk <strong>about</strong> what is going on from a vast expanse<br />
of sources and the planet has suddenly become very sm<strong>all</strong>. It<br />
gives us many opportunities to engage with our brothers and<br />
sisters and to learn an immeasurable amount of knowledge and<br />
share experiences. However, from the negative side, there are<br />
so many more control opportunities over us and brainwashing,<br />
with fake news and scams, among a multitude of so many<br />
opportunities which are not intended for the good. We have<br />
become suspicious, untrusting, disrespectful, and downright<br />
rude. We make judgements and accusations against one<br />
another without even meeting each other, we have become<br />
blind. We have forgotten how and what we should do, our<br />
purpose and how we can live our lives in harmony and<br />
happiness with each other again.<br />
LOVE changes impossible into possible, if there were such a<br />
thing as miracles, it would surely perform them, it is the<br />
ultimate power over everything. We are talking <strong>about</strong> the love<br />
of mankind, this is not the love of a nation or a race or a<br />
7
condition, this is selfish love. True love, divine love is the love of<br />
<strong>all</strong>, there are no boundaries, restrictions or limits. The colour of<br />
a person’s skin or the language they speak should not get in the<br />
way or be judged as better or worse, we are <strong>all</strong> one, we are <strong>all</strong><br />
connected, and we <strong>all</strong> have the same purpose and that is to<br />
truly understand who we are and where we come from. Our<br />
purpose is to love one another and <strong>all</strong> that surrounds us, the<br />
birds, the trees, the oceans, these are <strong>all</strong> part of the natural<br />
laws and our mission is to immerse ourselves in nature and live<br />
on this planet selflessly with love in our hearts, our motives<br />
should be to live in harmony, balance and happiness, this is our<br />
mission our purpose.<br />
If you see one of your brothers or sisters living in darkness, for<br />
whatever reason, it is not for you to judge them, rather, show<br />
them the light, give them water to quench their thirst, food to<br />
stave off the hunger pains, shelter from the elements, it<br />
matters not, how you serve the Creator and his children as long<br />
as you serve to the best of your ability. With the pure love and<br />
motive in your heart. There is nothing more powerful than to<br />
serve the Creator with love and when you do you will feel the<br />
surge of power within you that leaves you in no doubt of who<br />
you truly are and where you come from. We <strong>all</strong> have this, but<br />
we do not <strong>all</strong> trust our faith to recognise it.<br />
Remember! showing love is free, it costs nothing.<br />
Unfortunately, sometimes we <strong>all</strong>ow ego, pride, fear, selfishness<br />
8
and arrogance, get in the way and <strong>all</strong>ow these undesirable<br />
emotions to rule our characters to the point that we, actu<strong>all</strong>y,<br />
hurt ourselves more than those we probably intend to hurt.<br />
This, in itself, when you look at it, is pretty senseless and has no<br />
useful meaning to our own life and those of our brothers and<br />
sisters. Where is the positive in this kind of behaviour?<br />
We were given this beautiful planet to use as our home while<br />
we learn the lessons, we came here in the first place to learn.<br />
One of those lessons is to love each other and serve the<br />
Creator by helping and looking out for each other and being<br />
kind and compassionate to one another. This could truly be a<br />
paradise, our very own garden of Eden, but instead we chose<br />
to destroy each other and the planet, why?? Is it re<strong>all</strong>y so<br />
difficult for us to not judge one another and show compassion<br />
instead of being hostile!<br />
Allow yourself to feel the power from within and you too can<br />
move mountains.<br />
9
Chapter 2<br />
It is never too late!<br />
W<br />
E CANNOT EVEN BEGIN to count the cost of the<br />
damage we have done through wars, abuse,<br />
corruption, greed and selfishness. We show no concern of what<br />
one generation will leave for the next, the lack of compassion<br />
and respect is beyond comprehension.<br />
It is easy to think that the problems and damage are far too big<br />
for us to reverse and repair because the finger of blame comes<br />
out and it is much easier to blame others, whether it be those in<br />
power positions or those who just shout louder, but we are <strong>all</strong><br />
10
to blame to one degree or another. If we stop and look within,<br />
we are many and we are one, if each one of us does our best to<br />
our individual abilities, with love we become whole and the<br />
force of the whole easily out numbers the few that we are<br />
<strong>all</strong>owing to lead us into areas that we actu<strong>all</strong>y do not want to<br />
go, especi<strong>all</strong>y once we see the damage it causes and we begin<br />
to individu<strong>all</strong>y feel its devasting effect on <strong>all</strong> of us and our<br />
surroundings.<br />
It maybe quite difficult to imagine our single little voices being<br />
heard against the noise and chaos of the forces leading us into<br />
the chaos but imagine when <strong>all</strong> our little voices becoming one,<br />
there are many more one’s than there are forces against us. We<br />
do have a voice and we do have the power of love that is the<br />
strongest force there is. Nothing is more powerful than love<br />
and we <strong>all</strong> have divine love, <strong>all</strong> we need to do is move as one.<br />
Our single voices were heard well enough to put these forces in<br />
place, we contribute to the negative forces in control. If we are<br />
forceful enough to create, we are forceful enough to change.<br />
Our tendency is to complicate things and create our own<br />
obstacles just because we think too much, instead, try to think<br />
with the clear simplicity of a child and those obstacles are no<br />
longer there, baby steps cover a lot of ground because the way<br />
11
is clear. As adults we have been conditioned to fulfil certain<br />
responsibilities, for our so c<strong>all</strong>ed, own and society as a whole,<br />
but these do not need to rule our lives, our lives do not have to<br />
be controlled by them, they have a place and if we only give the<br />
minimum time warranted to fulfil our responsibilities and free<br />
up more time to be happy, relaxed and free to do the things<br />
that you have the right to enjoy, wouldn’t a great movement<br />
already take place. We can lift our heads up high, take a deep<br />
breath and feel the power inside and let those around us see us<br />
shine, believe me it is infectious, before you know it you will be<br />
spreading that divine love and others will feel the benefits,<br />
infect them it is with the purest [disease] you could ever<br />
imagine.<br />
We have been conditioned to judge one another and through<br />
this judgement we decide who we choose to include or reject,<br />
yet often we judge from just a tiny window of what we see and<br />
that, we believe, <strong>all</strong>ows us to jump to conclusions and label our<br />
fellow brothers and sisters. Labels are just a language, but they<br />
have far reaching effects, some we consider good and others<br />
bad. Yet we do not know anywhere near enough to have the<br />
right to judge anyone. We do not know or see the big picture.<br />
When you consider that our life here is just a brief blink of an<br />
eye when you compare it with eternity.<br />
12
Some of us take many reincarnations before we learn the<br />
lessons we are here to learn, this is probably not the first time<br />
you have been here, and it is probably not the last. Do you<br />
remember what you did the last time you were here? We <strong>all</strong><br />
have past experiences, and nothing is wasted, or goes<br />
unnoticed. We <strong>all</strong> sin, of course we do, if we did not sin, how<br />
can we learn the difference between right and wrong but some<br />
of us take longer than others to learn these lessons. Every sin<br />
has a price, which only we can pay, and none go unnoticed as<br />
are the good deeds we do with love for these the rewards<br />
come.<br />
Jesus did not come to wipe our slate clean of sins, far from it,<br />
he came to show us how to live with love for one another, in<br />
harmony, balance and peace, where there is no need to sin<br />
because we have everything we need and has been given to us<br />
freely, enough for everyone, when shared. A priest cannot<br />
wash away our sins by dripping water on us, it was water when<br />
he put it in the font and it is still water when he drips it on our<br />
heads, he cannot change its chemical composition. These are<br />
just interpretations taken from the bible to elevate a few into<br />
powerful positions and condition us to follow certain<br />
rules/creeds. The truth is the truth, it cannot be changed or<br />
13
manipulated to suit our needs or anyone else’s, we <strong>all</strong> know<br />
what is right and what is wrong.<br />
When you interact with others you are aware of the effect you<br />
have because your motive or intention is known by you before<br />
you act, therefore, if you know that an action or words are<br />
going to have a negative effect then you are responsible for<br />
what you have caused and only you will pay the penalty of<br />
breaking a natural law. However, if you have a kind heart and<br />
your motive is from love then even if sometimes the effect may<br />
not be desirable your actions are done for the right intention<br />
and then there is no penalty and moreover, if your action is to<br />
help bring someone out of darkness and see the light whether<br />
you visu<strong>all</strong>y see the effect immediately or not the reward is<br />
yours because you have done the very thing you are here for,<br />
to serve the Creator by helping and loving his children. Nothing<br />
is wasted and nothing goes unnoticed.<br />
You are you and you have the power inside of you, there is<br />
nothing on this planet that you cannot overcome.<br />
14
Chapter 3<br />
Who is God?<br />
G<br />
OD, OUR CREATOR, Allah, Dios, The Great White Spirit,<br />
these are just labels we use for recognition. Whatever<br />
label sits comfortably with you is the best one to use, for me<br />
person<strong>all</strong>y I prefer The Great Spirit because this for me is who<br />
God is, he is spirit, as are we, he is eternal, as are we, he is us, as<br />
we are him, he is the great architect who created the Universe<br />
and <strong>all</strong> the natural laws that govern it, which are perfect. The<br />
part of the Great Spirit that is within us, is perfect, however, we<br />
are imperfect because we also have free will and because<br />
15
perfection comes from imperfection, it is our responsibility<br />
while on our eternal journey to strive for perfection.<br />
Think <strong>about</strong> the religions that worship one God, there are<br />
many, this one God is our Creator and he created us in love, so<br />
much love that he gave us part of him so that we have divine<br />
love, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within”, but we also have free<br />
will and we can choose to do the right thing or the wrong<br />
thing. Does it sit comfortably with you that our loving Creator<br />
created us to then separate us, favour one over another and<br />
destroy ‘some’ of us? Those in powerful positions like to think<br />
they can convince us that our Creator does just that. All you<br />
need to do is look around you at <strong>all</strong> the wars going on in almost<br />
every part of the World. Stop and think why these wars exist,<br />
there are two main reasons, which are territorial based and/or<br />
religious based, both of these stem from greed and power or<br />
control. Does it re<strong>all</strong>y make sense that God chose one race to<br />
occupy the land of another race to the extent of inflicting<br />
abuse, oppression, displacement, cruelty and in many cases<br />
genocide or ethnic cleansing. These people are brothers and<br />
sisters they are not enemies, but they have been manipulated<br />
into believing that they are because so c<strong>all</strong>ed restricting creeds<br />
decided that the bible says so.<br />
16
The bible is a good book, but our life is not written within it, the<br />
bible has been tampered with to suit those who want to<br />
control us. There are many valuable messages written in the<br />
bible but many of those messages have been twisted and<br />
misinterpreted from their original meaning and it is not difficult<br />
when you read it with your own heart to recognise those that<br />
have been manipulated because you have your own bible<br />
already written in your own heart, you know the bible already,<br />
you were born into this World with it already inst<strong>all</strong>ed, but it is<br />
not labelled as the bible, they are the ‘natural laws’ which are<br />
inherent within you, they are part of you.<br />
Look at some of the stories written in the bible and come to<br />
your own conclusions. Remember if anything does not sit well<br />
with your reasoning or logic, then reject it.<br />
If God made marriage a condition that humans must abide by,<br />
then why is there a difference between the fertility period of<br />
men and women? Did Adam and Eve have a wedding<br />
certificate? If we are to believe we <strong>all</strong> started from Adam and<br />
Eve then did they not commit incense, which we have been told<br />
in no uncertain terms is against the law. You may be thinking<br />
here that the ten commandments say it is wrong to commit<br />
adultery, and you would be right in thinking that way, but<br />
17
‘adultery’ is another label, if you take away the word ‘adultery’<br />
and replace it with ‘it is wrong to commit a wrong’ to your<br />
brother or sister, then already within you, you know that to<br />
destroy someone’s love whether they be a partner, sibling,<br />
child or animal, is wrong. Do unto others what you want others<br />
to do unto you. The word ‘adultery’ was not written on the<br />
tablet that Moses carried down from Mount Sinai because<br />
Moses did not carry down any tablets only the messages that<br />
he received. Moses was a teacher, like Jesus and many others,<br />
they came to show us how to live our lives with love for one<br />
another, with no judgements or discriminations. Does it not<br />
occur to you that the famous story in the Bible of Moses and<br />
the ten commandments is a message rather than a literal action<br />
that happened. I do believe they are still looking for the Arc of<br />
the Covenant!!<br />
The bible is a good book, but it is also a book that is the source<br />
of many wars. The messages in the bible are there to guide us<br />
how to live our lives with love and to love our brothers and<br />
sisters, not for man to take and twist the written words into<br />
man made laws to benefit the few, giving them the power to<br />
rule us.<br />
18
Of course, we need to have laws to live by, there are many of us<br />
sharing Earth and respect for one another is a must or we<br />
would just exchange one chaos for another. But again, <strong>Love</strong> is a<br />
law in itself and if every time we interacted, helped, served and<br />
looked out for each other, we did it with love in our hearts,<br />
then we would be a long way towards living in a peaceful,<br />
caring, loving world where there were not a few with too much<br />
and many with too little.<br />
If our commandments included, love one another, do not judge<br />
one another and share with each other, our garden of Eden<br />
would flourish again.<br />
19
Chapter 4<br />
Cleaning out the closet.<br />
W<br />
HY DO WE BELIEVE WE NEED to build treasures<br />
here when we already know we cannot take them with<br />
us? We live in a very materialistic world and to a degree we can<br />
forgive ourselves for succumbing to the temptations that<br />
bombard us from <strong>all</strong> directions. But like the Buddha story the<br />
demons are also within us and we need to fight with them to<br />
keep them at bay and clean out our inner closet, because they<br />
are clever, and we have been conditioned to accept them.<br />
Human emotions are strong, and it takes a big effort to deny<br />
20
them but deny them we must if we are going to strive for<br />
perfection and saturate the world with love.<br />
We live much of our life here in ignorance far from the<br />
harmony, peace and love that we search for. We can build our<br />
characters by learning lessons and caring for each other and<br />
our treasures will be waiting for us. Whether you believe in a<br />
next life or not, it still cannot make sense for us to collect<br />
treasures here knowing we cannot fit them in our coffin and<br />
take them with us. How many times have you witnessed or<br />
heard of, when material minded people pass away leaving<br />
valuables, in many forms, whether it be precious jewels, land,<br />
bricks and mortar or companies, to their loved ones, their<br />
relatives? In many cases this separates the families and<br />
friendships because the human emotions of greed, selfishness,<br />
pride, jealousy etc, encourage them to fight among themselves<br />
and consequently they f<strong>all</strong> out, they separate, they do not bring<br />
together and bond.<br />
Each person has their own journey and they will have their own<br />
lessons to learn, they are responsible for building their own<br />
character, you cannot solve their problems for them, what you<br />
can do is support them through kindness and love, but the<br />
problem will always be theirs to solve. You have your own<br />
21
problems to solve and nobody can solve them for you, this is<br />
part of the learning process we are here to fulfil.<br />
To learn <strong>about</strong> spirituality is like unlearning everything you<br />
know and then start learning from a clean slate with no<br />
preconditioned theories, habits or conditions. Habits are the<br />
hardest to unlearn as we do tend to be creatures of habit, they<br />
appear to give us that comfort zone where we feel safe and<br />
change is an alien word. But when you do eventu<strong>all</strong>y let go of<br />
them, love fills them with abundance, once you feel that power<br />
of love that is yours and is part of our Creator, there is nothing<br />
that can get in your way except yourself.<br />
Sometimes, you just need to be in a quiet place and look at the<br />
sky or the landscape or a bird or a flower and lose yourself in it,<br />
let yourself go and feel <strong>all</strong> the stress, worries and pain go, let<br />
them flow out of your body and release you, set you free. Be<br />
that bird or flower or ride those beautiful waves, be free. You<br />
are entitled to be happy and free. Try to not think beyond the<br />
moment as tomorrow will bring new obstacles to occupy you,<br />
they will come whether you try to control them or not, so don’t<br />
waste precious time thinking <strong>about</strong> them. Use the time to enjoy<br />
your heritage, be free, be happy.<br />
22
Chapter 5<br />
The journey.<br />
W<br />
HEN YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW this journey, which<br />
it is a wonderous journey, to begin with you feel<br />
exposed and you tend to feel a little vulnerable because it is<br />
new territory but there are many, more than you can ever<br />
imagine, on the same journey as you, you are not alone and as<br />
you take each step, learn each lesson so your confidence grows<br />
and as your confidence grows you feel the true power within<br />
you and that power is the love you have inside of you that you<br />
23
need to give your fellow brothers and sisters because by giving<br />
you are feeding that love and it just keeps growing until there is<br />
no room for any of the old emotions and habits you carried<br />
around with you. All that heavy baggage will drop away, and<br />
you will get lighter with each step that you take until you feel<br />
like you are flying, walking on air or even water, there is<br />
another powerful message from the bible, when Jesus walked<br />
on water. Your spirit is indestructible, it is eternal, it cannot die,<br />
it can walk on water. Your body is your vehicle, it is matter, it is<br />
not eternal and provided you take care of your body as you<br />
would your vehicle it will last you for as long as your spirit<br />
needs it. Your faith is what supports you.<br />
This is where you want to be and this is the journey to take you<br />
there but that does not mean you will not come across<br />
negative people still and obstacles that ch<strong>all</strong>enge you and<br />
temptations to try and take you away from your journey but<br />
these are the lessons that build your character and ultimately<br />
are the true you.<br />
This is when you start to realise what is and isn’t important and<br />
how worthless the things that you believe are treasure now,<br />
here, are so meaningless. When you can serve without ego and<br />
love <strong>all</strong> of mankind without conditions. When you give without<br />
24
expectations of receiving. When you can meet people without<br />
judging them or discriminate. This is love, this is freedom, and<br />
this is who we re<strong>all</strong>y are.<br />
Try for yourself, the next time you use public transportation,<br />
feel that light shining bright inside of you, you want to stand on<br />
top of the mountain and shout to everyone else to join you.<br />
Step onto the train or bus and when you see <strong>all</strong> the other<br />
passengers buried in their silent mobile device world, without<br />
even an upward glance, say good morning/afternoon and smile<br />
let that light inside shine because everyone will see it, you will<br />
become infectious, <strong>all</strong> around you others will want what you<br />
have and you will have sown your seed because most of those<br />
people will reach their destination with thoughts and feelings<br />
that they have probably never felt or not in a long time.<br />
Brighten up their day it costs nothing. Infect them!<br />
Can you now imagine if we <strong>all</strong> felt this way and we <strong>all</strong> loved<br />
each other this way, then, we truly can move mountains<br />
because we are <strong>all</strong> one and joined together, we are a powerful<br />
whole.<br />
We can stop wars, we can <strong>all</strong> live equ<strong>all</strong>y with food, shelter,<br />
water and love in peace and tranquillity. We can have our<br />
garden of Eden. We just need to love, with the motive and<br />
25
intention to serve. While there are those with too little and<br />
those with too much, peace and harmony cannot thrive.<br />
