CRYSTALS FOR 

DECISION MAKING 

Sue Penney 

Need to make a decision and need some help? 

Why not try incorporating crystals into your 

toolkit? 

As you know, crystals are believed by many, to 

have unique properties that can aid in various 

aspects of life, including decision-making and the 

exercise of free will. Here are some crystals 

commonly associated with these purposes: 

1. Amethyst 

Amethyst is known for its calming and soothing 

energy, which can help clear the mind and enhance 

mental clarity. It aids in making thoughtful and 

insightful decisions by connecting the mind with 

higher spiritual consciousness. 

2. Lapis Lazuli 

Lapis Lazuli is a stone of wisdom and truth. It 

encourages self-awareness and helps you express 

your inner truths. This crystal can assist in making 

decisions by promoting clear thinking and 

enhancing intellectual ability. 

3. Fluorite 

Fluorite is known for its ability to bring order to 

chaos and stabilise energy. It enhances focus, 

concentration, and decision-making skills. By 

clearing mental fog, it helps in making wellthought-out 

choices. 

4. Sodalite 

Sodalite is associated with logic, rationality, and 

efficiency. It can help balance emotional and mental 

states, making it easier to approach decisions 

calmly and rationally. It is particularly useful for 

those who need to make objective and clearminded 

choices.

5. Clear Quartz 

Clear Quartz is a powerful amplifier of energy and 

intention. It can help clear mental clutter and 

enhance clarity of thought. This stone is versatile 

and can be programmed with specific intentions, 

including aiding in decision-making processes. 

6. Citrine 

Citrine is known for its ability to enhance creativity, 

motivation, and clarity of thought. It is often used 

to overcome indecisiveness and to make confident, 

clear decisions. Citrine also encourages a positive 

outlook, which can be beneficial in decisionmaking. 

7. Tiger’s Eye 

Tiger’s Eye is a grounding stone that helps you stay 

centred and calm. It enhances courage, confidence, 

and willpower, making it easier to make decisions 

and take action. This stone also helps in balancing 

emotions, which is crucial when making important 

decisions. 

8. Labradorite 

Labradorite is a stone of transformation and 

change. It can help you see through illusions and 

determine the true form of your dreams and goals. 

This clarity can aid in making decisions that are 

aligned with your true purpose. 

9. Hematite 

Hematite is a grounding and protective stone that 

enhances logical thinking and problem-solving 

skills. It can help you stay focused and clearminded, 

which is essential for making informed 

decisions. 

10. Aquamarine 

Aquamarine is known for its calming energy, which 

helps reduce stress and quiet the mind. This clarity 

can aid in making balanced and thoughtful 

decisions. It also promotes self-expression and 

courage, helping you to act on your decisions 

confidently. 

5


How to Use These Crystals 

To utilise the benefits of these crystals in decisionmaking 

and exercising free will, you can: 

Meditate with the crystals, holding them in 

your hand or placing them on your body to 

align your energy with theirs. 

Carry them in your pocket or wear them as 

jewellery to keep their energy close throughout 

the day. 

Place them in your environment, such as on 

your desk or in your living space, to create an 

energy of clarity and focus. 

Sleep with them under your pillow to help gain 

insights and clarity during dreams. 

Incorporating these crystals into your daily routine 

can help you harness their energy to make more 

informed, confident, and spiritually aligned 

decisions. 

You can also experiment by using more than one 

crystal together to see how that can amplify the 

effectiveness depending on what you wish to 

achieve. 

It would be great to hear your feedback on how 

you have used crystals in your life and how they 

have benefitted you.

FREE WILL FROM A 

WICCAN POINT 

Sue Penney 

What is free will and how does it help us understand 

our fundamental base as a human being. 

Writing as someone who follows a Wiccan way of life in 

Wiccan beliefs, free will is a core principle that 

underscores the liberty and responsibility of each 

individual to make their own choices. Wicca places 

significant emphasis on personal empowerment, ethical 

living, and the interconnectedness of all life. Here’s a 

detailed exploration of free will from a Wiccan 

perspective: 

Personal Autonomy and Empowerment 

Wicca celebrates the inherent power within each 

person. Free will is seen as the ability of individuals to 

shape their own destinies through their actions, 

intentions, and magical practices. Wiccans believe that 

everyone has the power to make choices that affect 

their lives and the world around them. This belief is 

empowering, as it places the individual at the centre of 

their spiritual and practical life. 

The Wiccan Rede 

The Wiccan Rede is a key ethical guideline in Wicca, 

famously stating, "An it harm none, do what ye will." 

This phrase highlights the importance of free will while 

simultaneously emphasizing the responsibility that 

comes with it. Wiccans are encouraged to follow their 

own paths and make their own decisions, provided that 

their actions do not cause harm to anyone and that 

includes themselves. This balance between freedom 

and responsibility is crucial in Wiccan ethics. 

Karma and the Threefold Law 

Wicca also incorporates the concept of karma and the 

Threefold Law, which states that whatever energy a 

person puts out into the world, whether positive or 

negative, will return to them three times over. 

7


This belief reinforces the idea that individuals are free to make 

their own choices, but they must also be prepared to accept the 

consequences of those choices. It encourages mindful decisionmaking 

and ethical behaviour, aligning with the principle of free 

will. 

Interconnectedness and Responsibility 

Wiccans view the universe as an interconnected web of life, 

where every action has a ripple effect. Free will is exercised 

with the understanding that one's choices can impact the 

greater whole. This perspective fosters a sense of responsibility 

towards the environment, other beings, and the community. 

Wiccans are encouraged to consider the broader implications of 

their actions, using their free will to contribute positively to the 

world. 

Magical Practice 

In Wicca, the practice of magic is an expression of free will. By 

casting spells and performing rituals, Wiccans actively seek to 

influence their reality and manifest their desires. This practice 

is deeply personal and varies from individual to individual, 

reflecting the diverse ways in which free will can be exercised. 

Magic in Wicca is often seen as a form of self-empowerment, 

enabling practitioners to take control of their lives and work 

towards their goals. 

Sue Penney 

Soul Verse 


Spiritual Growth and Self-Discovery 

Free will in Wicca is also about the journey of self-discovery 

and spiritual growth. Wiccans are encouraged to explore their 

beliefs, develop their own spiritual practices, and seek 

knowledge from a variety of sources. This path is highly 

individualistic, with each person using their free will to find 

their own truth and develop their unique spiritual identity. 

There really is no right or wrong way to practice Wiccan. One 

of the rules simply is that there are no rules. 

Conclusion 

In the Wiccan sense, free will is a cherished and fundamental 

principle that empowers individuals to shape their own 

destinies while maintaining a deep sense of responsibility 

towards others and the natural world. It is intertwined with 

ethical guidelines like the Wiccan Rede and the Threefold Law, 

which emphasise the importance of making mindful and 

compassionate choices. Through the exercise of free will, 

Wiccans strive for personal empowerment, spiritual growth, 

and a harmonious relationship with the interconnected web of 

life.

PEACE ON 

EARTH 

John Sjovik 


Peace on Earth? 

There are many songs about Peace. Think about John 

Lennon and ”Imagine”. Think of Bob Dylan and the song 

“Blowin' In The Wind”. Think of Burt F. Bacharach / Hal 

David and “What the World Needs Now Is Love”.What do 

they all mean? 

What is Peace? 

When I was a child, another child walked up to me in the 

school playground and punched me in the face. Some time 

ago I was out jogging. As I ran past some football grounds, 

I heard a supporter of one of the teams yell abuse at the 

other team. Yesterday, I visited a town centre of a major 

city when I saw a man crossing the street against a red 

light, forcing the driver of a car to slam the brakes in order 

not to hit a man crossing the road. 

Now consider the songs I mentioned, by Lennon, Dylan 

and Bacharach /David. Suppose they describe a world of 

love and compassion, that has become realised by singing, 

wishing and desiring it to be. Would that mean that bad 

things, such as the punch and the abuse, would not 

happen? 

Otherwise, what does “peace on Earth” mean? Or is there 

a degree of peace? A war between nations is cancelled but 

a punch in the face is accepted? For the time being, I 

leave it for you, dear reader, to think about those 

questions. 

There is a great challenge in the way people see war as 

well as peace as entities in their own right. The way news 

media and people speak of War often give the impression 

that it is some kind of self-propelled behemoth, that we 

struggle to control from our external position. 

9


Yet, think of the expression ’what if they threw a war and nobody came?’ We often view Peace in the same 

fashion, as if it is a state of bliss, which is to be enjoyed with no need for personal effort. We often talk 

about peaceful countries, as if it is a region that automatically remains in a state of Peace by its own virtue 

and everybody who moves there will be embraced by the grace of Peace. 

One approach 

As I see it, any major conflict between nations or regions begins with a confrontation between one human 

being and another. A child punching another child could escalate into a country invading another. And 

Likewise, any major Peace is born out of respect and acceptance between two human beings. We have a 

choice. 

The seed of War lies within each and every one of us. I challenge the reader to assure me that he /she has 

never felt an urge to punch somebody in the face, like that child did in my childhood school playground. 

The embryo for Peace is within our hearts. If you allow it to grow, it will bring compassion and love to the 

way you envisage the world. 

Regrettably, Peace is unstable. It can be defined as a state of harmony and balance, devoid of violence and 

hate. This is something that we must strive to regain on a daily basis. It does not happen automatically. 

Peace is like fresh produce. It will not last for very long. It is your responsibility, dear reader, to refresh it and 

re-create it. 

Keep in mind the saying that whatever you feed will grow. And energy flows where attention goes. 

War or Peace? It is your own choice. The buck stops with you. 

I wish you a peaceful day.

CRAFT & 

PAINT 



I was lucky to buy a pottery cafe business in 

Christchurch two years ago. 

It’s a wonderful place where you can come in, pick a 

piece of pottery and let your imagination do the 

rest. 

This has become the sister company to Better Care 

at Home, our domiciliary care agency. 

We offer a hug in a mug for our oldies, who come in 

to paint a mug or a bowl. They get a hot drink and a 

slice of cake. We also offer chair yoga and a sing-along 

as part of the package. Of course, this is 

optional and has proven to be highly successful. 

11


We also have a downstairs party room, that can be 

hired for any occasion from Birthdays to Hen 

parties, corporate brainstorms and much more. 

We have over 400 pieces of pottery to choose to 

suit everyone’s budget. 

Painting is a great way to relax and take some time 

out for yourself in a calm and beautiful environment 

and it’s for ages from 6-90. 

I am always looking for old and new ways to build 

communities, and bring people together. 

We are all connected, so if we can improve one 

person’s life, this will spread to others. 

Together, let’s make living better! 

I look forward to seeing you in the cafe!

THE GOSPEL OF MARY 

MAGDALENE 


The gospel of Mary was first discovered in Egypt in 1896, 

some fifty years before the discovery of the Nag Hammadi 

Library in 1945. 

This is the only gospel to be assigned to a woman – Mary 

Magdalene. Sadly, less than eight pages have survived, as 

pages 1-6 and 11-14 are missing; but we still see a very 

different picture of Mary Magdalene than that portrayed by 

the New Testament. In most theological studies she has 

been depicted as a reformed prostitute, the redeemed 

sinner who exemplifies Yeshua’s mercy. 

The ’Gospel of Mary Magdalene’ presents a radical 

interpretation of Yeshua’s teachings as a path to inner 

spiritual knowledge and challenges our romantic view of 

harmony within the first Christian groups. More 

significantly, we see Mary Magdalene not as a weeping 

submissive woman, but a strong, stable spiritual leader who, 

because of her understanding was privy to Yeshua’s private 

teachings. 

As the first six pages are missing, the gospel opens in the 

middle of a post-resurrection appearance by Yeshua 

(referred to as the Saviour) to his disciples in which he 

answers their questions and offers a farewell discourse 

before commissioning them to go out to preach the gospel 

of the kingdom. 

But the disciples do not go out joyfully to preach the gospel; 

instead, controversy erupts. All the disciples except Mary 

have failed to understand the Saviour’s teachings. Inner 

peace is nowhere to be found - they are distraught and 

frightened that preaching the gospel may result in them 

suffering the same agonizing fate. 

Mary steps in and comforts them and Peter asks Mary to 

recount teaching unknown to them that she had received in 

a vision. 

14


She agrees and tells them about the rise of the soul past the 

powers of Darkness, Ignorance, Desire and Wrath, who seek 

to keep the soul trapped in the world and ignorant of its 

true spiritual nature. 

When she is finished, she stands in silence, imitating the 

soul at rest. But the peace is disturbed by Andrew 

questioning the ‘strangeness’ of her teaching. Peter 

challenges whether Yeshua would give private instruction to 

a woman, thus showing he actually preferred her to the 

other disciples. 

Mary begins to cry at Peter’s accusation. Levi comes quickly 

to her defence, reminding Peter he is a notorious hot-head 

and now he was treating Mary as the enemy. He 

admonishes them instead to do as the Saviour instructed 

them and go out to preach the gospel. The story ends here 

but the controversy is far from over. Andrew and Peter have 

not understood the Saviour’s teaching and are offended by 

Yeshua’s apparent preference of a woman over them. 

History is written by the winners. Many voices were 

silenced through repression or neglect. The Gospel of Mary 

gives us information not recorded in the New Testament. It 

is not a question of right and wrong. The information we 

have been given was just incomplete. 

This is a short summary of a very important gospel which 

restores the sacred feminine into Yeshua’s teachings. If you 

want to dive deeper into it I can recommend the translation 

from Coptic into English by scholar-mystic Jean-Yves Leloup 

- ‘The Gospel of Mary Magdalene’. 

Whether or not you choose to embrace the message from the Gospel of Mary is a matter 

readers will decide for themselves. 

The days of us being told what to believe are over, thankfully.

NOTICE WHAT YOU 

ARE NOTICING 

Carol Coggan 

Notice what you are Noticing – and the impact on your 

vibration 

Welcome to September/October – did you have a good 

summer? Do you view that summer is over and everything 

changes? Yes, there is a change in the seasons but with the 

current weather changes the seasons are not so 

pronounced as in the past when we relied on the land. In 

nature the colours change, the flowers of spring – 

blues/yellows, become pinks/reds in summer and gradually 

russet and orange in autumn. How do the colours impact on 

you? How does the weather – rain, sun, hail and snow 

impact on you? Yes, research has shown that sunlight has a 

positive effect on our mental and physical well being but 

the rain can be just as pleasurable. 

Notice what you are noticing – so notice how you are 

affected by colour and nature’s colours, notice how you are 

affected by the weather. This all impacts on our vibration 

and the way we go through life. 

Talking to people at the summer Mind, Body, Spirit (MBS) 

fairs, I realised most were affected by the weather, and did 

not view it positively. When the rain did stop and the sun 

came out then it was too hot! We have also experienced 

various political upheavals, both in the UK and the world 

along with massive energy changes in the solar system that 

have affected our planet. All this has affected our 

vibrations. So, notice what you are noticing. The Angels are 

always there for us. They operate on a high vibration which 

they scale down for us, at the same time as encouraging us 

to raise our vibration so that we can co-create with the 

Universe and experience the life we would love. 

I offer one card Angel readings at the MBS fairs, people said 

“life is bad enough”, “I don’t want to know the future”; “I 

will explore the messages from the Angels when I have a 

new job, more money, dealt with a loved one passing”... 

17


I feel this is so sad, as the Angels and your Guardian 

Angel(s) are with you all the time. The Universe and the 

Angels only want what is best for you. They cannot 

necessarily stop all the difficulties and problems, but they 

can help you navigate through them with grace and ease. 

Notice what you are noticing – I am noticing many people 

feel stuck, feel burdened with issues/problems, are 

influenced by the weather and are buffeted by the outside 

energies around them. When ‘they do not want to know the 

future’, it implies that our future is preordained/arranged 

by someone outside themselves. Whereas, in reality, we 

arrange/decide our future. Using the Law of Attraction, we 

can co-create with the Universe and can manifest the 

future we would love. 

N o t i c e 

When I draw the cards, the future card is an indication from 

the Angels, that if you carry on doing what you are doing, 

then the future card will manifest. If you do not like what 

the card is telling you, then change what you are doing, 

change your thinking. Notice what you are noticing, and 

how your thinking and attitudes are affected, use your 

thoughts and feelings as a guide then take action. Let’s cocreate 

with the Universe the life you would love. 

Often when we are stuck, we know what we do not want, 

but do not know what we do want. Now is the time to 

really think about your dreams/ your vision. If we are going 

to co-create with the Universe, we need to let the Universe 

know what we would love, not what we think is possible. 

Jot down your vision in 4 areas- occupation/leisure; health; 

relationships; time/money freedom. Notice what you are 

noticing – when you are thinking about what you would 

love, for each aspect of your vision. Does it give you joy? 

Are you vibrating at a high level when you think about your 

dream? Stick with it and get a clear indication of your 

dream, then let the Universe and Angels know. Visualise 

yourself in your vision, so when I meet you in a year’s time, 

you are the person of your vision, wearing the colour for 

you, working with the Angels, vibrating at a high level and 

living your best life possible.

THE HIGHEST 

GOOD 

John Sjovik 


Many practitioners of energy healing often talk about 

healing serving the highest good for the individual and 

also the highest good for the universe as a whole. What 

does that mean? 

A quick look at the current discussions and politics that 

occupy global news media clearly shows that ‘’the 

highest good’’ is a contested and highly controversial 

subject. There is an abundance of sub-optimization and 

twisted uses of the concept. 

When we keep our fingers crossed and mumble a 

mantra under our breath, we mostly wish for a specific 

outcome of an event or something that is about to 

happen. But how do we know that failing an exam or 

losing a job is not the best thing that could happen to 

us? Regrettably, we do not always know what is best 

for us. We trip ourselves up in our definition of ‘highest 

good’. Many such definitions end up using similar 

wording or even synonyms to that which is to be 

explained. The result is a tautology or circular 

reasoning. 

We tend to listen too much to what other people say. 

We feel insecure and ask people for advice. We try to 

adhere to mainstream standards for success. We look at 

our peers and feel envious of their alleged 

accomplishments. We admire famous people and we try 

to emulate their achievements. 

One of my teachers in Shamanism highlighted the 

importance of trying to avoid human and short term 

aspects of ‘good’. From a spiritual point of view, a 

particular outcome of a decision or event may not 

appear as ‘good’ for the individual, when in fact it may 

well be the ‘highest good’ from a cosmic, spiritual level. 

20


Many years ago, I drove a forklift truck in a warehouse in Sweden. One of the other drivers was involved in a 

traffic accident. Regrettably, it caused severe damage to his right foot. As a consequence, he was unable to 

continue his work, driving a forklift truck. I talked to him about it. He was deeply depressed and also 

concerned because now he would have to transfer to what he dreaded the most, which was office work. After 

some months, he told me it was not so bad after all. To his own amazement, he enjoyed learning new skills and 

being involved in decision-making. Half a year later, the company opened a new plant in Belgium. My friend 

and his family were offered a transfer there and they accepted the offer. A year later, my friend told me that 

he was very happy in Belgium. He had learned a new language, made international friends and his career had 

really taken off. His wife had found a job she was happy with. Their children spoke three foreign languages 

and enjoyed the international vibes of the city and of school. 

This story is an example of what was decidedly a bad event, that later turned out to generate very good 

consequences for my workmate and for his family. 

Summum bonum 

During Greek antiquity, philosophers talked about ‘summum bonum’ as it is called in Latin, ‘summum’ meaning 

highest and ‘bonum’ meaning good. However, what an epicurean meant by ‘good’ did not coincide with what a 

stoic meant. 

There is a clear division between material good (‘pleasure’) and metaphysical good(‘virtue’). This may appear as 

obvious. However, when you think about it, it is easy to get lost in desires and dreams. If someone asked you 

to describe a good life, the first thing that would spring to mind would probably not be virtuous behaviour, 

impeccable ethics and being guided by an inner moral compass. Recently, I received an e-mail from a friend of 

mine on holiday in Italy. He wrote that he was enjoying ‘the good life’. I doubt if he was referring to long 

hours of meditation on a clifftop. 

21


The Greek philosopher Socrates often talked about 

being guided by a daemon, a divine inner voice, which 

helped him to avoid making mistakes that would violate 

a higher moral code. It is important to become 

acquainted with what we could call ‘divine guidance’. 

I leave it to my readers to interpret what is meant by 

‘divine’; be it God, Source, Spirit, the Cosmos, our 

forefathers or any other metaphysical entity. You will 

note that I often use the word ‘Spirit’. 

Try to find your own way to channel guidance offered 

to you. 

Be open for messages when you meditate. Note if there 

is any particular emotion or thought that comes to you, 

especially if it is recurring. 

Write down your dreams in a diary. Review them from 

time to time and look out for reappearing details. 

Pay attention to synchronicities. Note if a particular 

word keeps appearing in many different places. Maybe 

you notice a certain colour that keeps attracting your 

attention. 

Be aware of anything unusual happening around you. 

One morning before going to work, I asked Spirit for 

advice. As I walked from the bus station to the office, I 

suddenly saw a field hare jumping out of the bushes 

right next to me. It ran slowly for a few moments, just 

in front of me and then it took off across the 

neighbouring fields and I lost sight of it, when it ran 

into the woods on the other side. I paused for a 

moment to consider what a field hare might symbolize? 

What qualities did it possess?How did they translate to 

me and my own situation as a human being? 

My point is that it is important for you to exercise your 

ability to experience the other-worldly, the 

metaphysical aspect of existence. You will heighten 

your sensitivity and be better equipped to communicate 

with Spirit. 

What is ‘the highest good’ seems to be obscured from 

us human beings. 

22


It is challenging for us to determine or understand the outcome of a desire, a wish, an event or a course of 

action. It lies incumbent on us to try and control life in all its aspects, twists and turns. But we can only hope 

for what we believe is the best. At the end of the day, we need to submit to and trust the unfathomable 

wisdom of Spirit. For me, a good guideline is to trust, that things happen for a reason. As Albert Einstein put 

it, ”God does not play dice”. 

Aspects of ‘highest good’ in philosophy 

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant probably owes his fame mostly to the moral philosophy he based on 

what he called the ‘categorical imperative’. Briefly, it says that you should always act in accordance with a 

principle that could be elevated to universal law. That way, every action should be bound by duty and pure 

reason in accordance with an overall set of moral guidelines. Only then can it be considered as ‘good’. 

In contrast with Kant, the philosophy and ethical theory called Utilitarianism focused on the outcome of an 

action more than the action itself. Utilitarianism can be explained like this: ‘If in doubt, choose the action that 

will produce the greatest possible happiness for the greatest possible number of people’. That would be a 

guiding principle for the degree of virtue in any action or deed. Famous proponents for utilitarianism were 

Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. 

A major topic for discussion in philosophy is known as ‘the status of morality’ or what it is that people are 

doing when they make moral judgements. Consider this example: Suppose that it is raining. A judgement 

based on an empirical observation is simply: ‘It is raining today’. So let us try to make a moral judgement. We 

ask the question: ‘Is it morally good or bad that it is raining today?’ 

We need to consider aspects like the fabric of the society we live in and our personal subjective feelings. Is 

there a set of normative ethics in society, which will tell you how something is supposed to be? If you live in a 

city, rain may not be altogether a good thing. 

23


If you live in a rural area, rain may be necessary for the farming community to grow crops and produce food, 

and is therefore a good thing. As for the individual citizen, the view on rain may vary from person to person. It 

may even vary for the same individual, for example if they are working or on vacation. 

So if you ask Spirit/ The Cosmos /God to honour you with good weather and you get rain, would you consider 

that a good answer to your prayers? Would it be consistent with ‘the highest good’? Think about it. 

Calculus of ethical value 

These days, mathematics has a way of entering most of what I write. That is the case also with this text. 

Professor George David Birkhoff was a mathematician who presented some very interesting ideas on the use 

of calculus to evaluate aestheticas well as ethical measure. In a series of public lectures, given at Rice Institute 

in Houston, Texas, USA in 1941, Professor Birkhoff put forward this very simple formula: 

M = G = ∑ (g1, g2, g3...) = ∑ (m1, m2, m3...) 

M is the measurement of degree of ethical level. 

G is the sum total of all the good that has been achieved. 

In this respect, it is important to keep in mind that the overall good G is the sum total of all the single, 

individual issues that constitute subsets of G. Let us call them g1, g2, g3 etc. Then each one should be 

considered and evaluated by itself. We will then reach a subset of ethical measures that we can call m1, m2, 

m3 etc. 

We should see G as a symbol for the overall level of good, when we do a final analysis of a number of 

decisions and actions. Each subset, g1, g2 etc, will consider various aspects such as altruism, utilitarianism, 

egoism, short term, long term etc. 

24


The qualitative characteristics of ‘highest good’ 

In keeping with the mathematical thinking of the previous passage, let us suppose I have a choice between 

two lines of action. How can I determine which one will bring a higher degree of ethical value, level of good or 

even reach the ‘highest good’? 

As I see it, I need some kind of reference system, in order to find a measure of relative value. ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ 

is always in relation to something else. Indeed every experience or action is always in contrast to something 

else. As an example, a fish never thinks that it is wet. 

Let us for a moment consider the concept known as ‘Karma’. Thought and intent can be seen as the root cause 

of our destiny. A thought connected with intent creates a feeling, a desire. That is in turn translated into 

words and an action. Repeated actions become habits which become embedded into your personality. The 

cycle of Thought / Intent -> Feeling /Desire -> Action will become part of all that which will be your destiny. 

When people think of something that happens, they mostly think of the event itself. That is a quite natural 

reaction. If a child is running in the countryside, trips on a tree root, falls and gets hurt, that is obviously a bad 

thing. Yet, there is also an element of good in it. The child will (hopefully) learn to be more careful next time. 

At the end of the day, there is no absolute knowledge or determination about any of the multitude of aspects 

of life. Each moment in time, we arrive at a fork in the road. 

We have to make a choice which way to turn. 

Whether that will lead us on to our true path or not, is really impossible to say. 

Even with a deterministic view of existence, we still have to make choices in life. 

25


There is no absolute value of ‘the highest good’. 

Can there exist an absolute status of ‘highest good’, without any contrasting to something else? Or does ‘good’ 

have to be in a reference system, in order to be able to determine a degree of ‘goodness’. How do you 

determine if one action is better (‘more good’) than another action? My personal opinion is that we can easily 

get lost in semantics, definitions and philosophies if we dig too deeply into questions of that kind. 

In Shamanism, I have come across the concept of ‘agenda for your life’, supposedly co-written by yourself in 

preparation for your next incarnation. Does that lock down a pre-determined model for your life, impossible to 

influence by any decisions or choices, as they will also be pre-determined? I do not think so. The agenda will 

be created in partnership with Spirit and on a much higher vibrational level than everyday decisions on planet 

Earth. The agenda will be more concerned with intentions rather than actions. We will still enjoy our free will 

in making choices. It is a good idea to try and familiarize yourself with the agenda for your life, as it will 

provide guidelines for making those choices. 

As I see it, ‘the highest good’ lies not in the outcome of our decisions, nor in the decisions themselves but in 

the circumstances in which we took those decisions. On our journey through life, we accumulate knowledge 

and experience. We process all those impressions, meditate on them, question them, analyze them and learn 

from them. That way, we become more skilled at interpreting and understanding new impressions on our 

continued journey through life. 

So in a way, ‘our true path’ is more a way to relate to life and the world we live in, rather than the path we 

actually tread. ‘The highest good’ is not about our destination. It is not even about our path towards that 

destination. It is really about our attitudes, relations and intentions when we take decisions and make choices 

as we live our lives. 

We should try to sense the energy of a situation and act in such a way as to desire – without any anticipation - 

the highest good, whatever that may be.

Martin Lewis 


ARE YOU ‘LIVING A 

LIE’? 

I recently did some work with a client that revealed 

this issue; in that he was living under a deception that 

meant he could not sell his house. 

I began wondering ‘How does this work’? 

Certain dictionaries state that: ‘living a lie’ is ‘to live in 

a false or deceptive way that does not show who one 

truly is, or what one's feelings truly are’. It appeared to 

me that this is not just about ‘one’s feelings’ - it not 

only has a detrimental effect on one’s health, but 

appears to negatively impact a person’s physical 

existence, in that it disrupts the ‘truth ’ of the 

individual’s life path, and steers one away from their 

purpose. 

In kinesiological terms, any ‘movement’, be it physical, 

spiritual, mental or energetic, requires energy to be in 

balance with ‘Universal truth’ - that is the undeniable 

truth that cannot be negatively impacted upon, (on an 

energetic level). 

Rigidity in the body (for example) is generally caused 

by fear, which creates the inability to move freely. The 

emotions of fear and anxiety are more prevalent the 

older we get. We can literally become ‘frozen’ with 

fear, due to not knowing the best course of action 

(movement) to take. This indecision is often the result 

of ‘fear of consequence’ or ‘what if ’ thinking. This can 

cause inflammation in the body tissues, as the body 

tries to move against the mental/emotional block - 

think of trying to push a brick wall down with your 

bare hands ! - your muscles will become aggravated - 

result INFLAMMATION ! 

So……..how does this relate to ‘living a lie’? 

31


Richard Bach (author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull) stated that: “Within each of us lies the power of consent to 

good health, sickness, poverty and riches, to freedom and slavery. It is us that control these - not someone or 

something else”. He also said that: “our worst lies are the ones that we tell ourselves. We live in a world of 

denial. We give in to the demands and expectations of something or someone else, and live in denial of what we 

say, think or do”. 

Alex Daniel, a Law of Attraction practitioner, says that “We are all liars, and we tweak the truth every few 

minutes - so much so that we do not realise that we are even doing it”. This can become habitual, to such a 

degree we make the denial ‘invisible’ - by stating “I don’t do that” - when it is obvious that we do! This behaviour 

can become so habitual that we ‘forget’ that we are doing it. We rarely hold our bad habits up for inspection. 

What we tend to do is ‘forget’ them, and then expect others to go along with them. This behaviour is rife in 

families, the workplace, and within personal relationships. It can also alter your DNA! 

Narcissists are masters of this art, so much so that they live in a ‘fantasy land’ of expectation, demand and denial 

most of the time. 

Hopefully, you can see that ‘living a lie’ is like pushing against a brick wall with your bare hands - expecting it to 

fall down! Continuing this behaviour will result in inflammation in the body, fatigue in the mind………and 

apparently not being able to sell your house! 

Your Liver relies on honesty, accuracy and integrity (especially with yourself). Therefore ‘living a lie’ will create 

toxicity in the body, which is a perfect recipe for ill health. 

You need your Liver to break down ammonium chloride in the body. 

Why is this important? 

32


Ammonium chloride is an acid forming salt, and more interestingly is produced by WORRY! - which is why 

worrying will make you sick, age quicker, and put your Liver under stress. 

‘Living a lie’ exacerbates worry………. so you can hopefully see where this leads………. 

What you CAN do is hold up all of your bad habits for inspection. 

Formulating a new habit can take up to 2 months to become ingrained into your psyche.

THE ANCIENT 

MEXIHKA METHOD 

Yaoyolocoatl - The Warrior with the Wise Heart 


The ancient Mexihka method which brings you into 

balance - your OMETEOTL. 

I am sitting here with Yolanda /Teyolotzin, her 

Mexihka name in Nahuatl, the language of the 

Mexihkas – “the strong heart “. She is one of the first 

students of Miahuatzin - trained in UK. Started in 

2003. 

My name is Yaoyolocoatl – translated –“the warrior 

with the wise heart. 

We are contemplating this ancient Mexican healing 

method. 

Miahuatzin is our teacher, who has been a shaman 

since she was 12 years old, a healer, herbalist and 

intuitive from San Pablo Tecalco, the state of Mexico 

near the Teocalli (the house of energy) Teotihuacan. 

I have been a student since 2014, and learned to 

appreciate this method more and more, which is so 

vast and comprehensive in a different way. All 

students of Miahuatzin learn the oral language 

Nahuatl and become familiar with this so deeply 

different way of living, seeing things, the philosophy 

and taking care of oneself. 

Miahuatzin always says – you should live close to 

your nature, only then you are in balance. That’s why 

it is so important to learn the Tonamaxiotl, ‘the 

Mexihka counting of time' as well, to see which 

energies influenced you when you were born. That's 

your nature. Amongst all the other techniques and 

healing methods. 

All this will be taught in the courses offered here in 

UK, and Europe. To become a curandera Mexihka. 

35


The medicine names are given with a special initiation in Mexico during our 4th seminar. 

Miahuatzin says, I have come three times to Europe to teach you; for your initiation, you will need to come 

to Mexico to see where this method comes from. 

It does make sense… 

In this tradition, the different directions are important, like all that surrounds you! In the centre is your 

balance – your Ometeotl. 

To keep this Ometeotl, sometimes we need to cleanse, support and maybe retrieve, on many different 

levels of the human being, the physical, mental, spiritual and soul level. 

This can happen with sweat lodges called Temascalito – there are 52 different ways to perform 

Temascalitos, with a big fire ceremony, with special stones Miahuatzin brought from Mexico. At the 

moment we are offering Temascalitos in London Lewisham by request. 

Other ways of healing are Tlahuayo, which is not a classic massage for relaxation, but rather a method to 

diagnose, heal and activate the energy meridians, Limpias and Susto rituals to work with the etheric body 

energies, using e.g flowers, herbs, eggs, and prayers. 

This is what Miahuatzin says about Mexihka Pactli: The treatment starts the moment the person asks for a 

treatment! This is the moment of connection! We, as curanderas are providing what the person/client 

needs, to find balance as a cosmic being. 

As cosmic beings we have a mission here to complete. Where there is an imbalance there is illness. This is a 

study of millions of years, it doesn’t fall out of fashion, the world can change, but human being do not! She 

is quoting her own teacher in Peru, who is approximate nearly 130 years old. 

36


Miahuatzin was born, raised and rooted in San Pablo Tecalco, a village in the province of Mexico. She went 

to Germany and Austria in 2001, a year later in 2002 to the United Kingdom, and has been coming since 

then regularly to treat, and to give seminars about the Mexihka Pactli. 

She lives and works with Xalli, her partner and colleague. They both travel to Europe, Austria, Italy and the 

United Kingdom. Xalli is an advanced Mexihka curandera and translates for Miahuatzin - She hasn’t had time 

to learn our language. 

She says there will be more patients, and therefore more curanderas are needed. Her mission is to stay with 

the work and continue the teaching.

ODIN’S 

OFFERINGS 



The search for knowledge 

During our journey from childhood to old age, we humans go 

through more or less the same life stages. We are in a 

constant learning process from a young age when we start 

crawling, walking and talking to when we eventually close our 

eyes one day for our journey into the afterlife. 

The quest for knowledge is both conscious and sub-conscious 

and some sacrifices are happily made while others feel more 

painful and undesired. We accumulate knowledge through 

schooling and wisdom through experience in all the different 

situations that we go through. Just try to name one person 

who has never sacrificed anything, be it time, dedication, 

money or sorrow, to achieve wisdom. Hopefully, we can all 

say that we have become wiser over the years, even if we 

might have wished to have gained even more of the 

knowledge available. 

Even our societies go through the same evolution, an empire 

is not built without hardship. Since we lived in caves way back 

in time we have gone through different stages where some 

revolutionary discoveries and inventions have brought us to 

where we are today. Yet there is so much more to discover to 

make it to perfection, so many issues still unresolved. Just like 

the development of each individual, society as a whole has 

many new conditions to consider and challenges to overcome 

for the benefit of all. Have we learnt anything or are we 

constantly trying to reinvent the wheel? 

Just as the teenager does not want to absorb the 

accumulated wisdom of his parents, there seems to be a 

short-sightedness in the various social structures on earth. 

For millennia, humans have thought that what they believe in 

is the authentic truth and claim their right to express it. On 

one hand, this is a good thing because it gives rise to new 

ideas; on the other, the old knowledge is sometimes grossly 

disregarded. Let's look at what the old myths say. 

38


The old myths 

In Norse mythology, Odin, Thor and Loki are the three most 

frequently mentioned characters. According to the Younger 

Edda, which is a medieval book probably written by Snorri 

Sturluson, a scholar and historian from Iceland, Odin could 

actually have been an existing human being who was elevated 

to godhood after his death. Odin was said to have migrated to 

Svitjod which was the old name for Sweden from Tyrkland 

which is now Turkey. 

Odin is considered by many practitioners of the Norse 

mythology to be the oldest, greatest and wisest of all the 

Aesirs. The Aesirs were the warlike gods who ruled alongside 

the more peaceful Vanirs. As well as being the god of war, 

Odin is also seen as the protector of skaldic art and sorcery. 

He is called by many names, including Allfather, Enöga and 

Hangadrott. The latter two are based on the stories of his 

sacrifices to gain knowledge. 

Enöga 

At the dawn of time, Odin had two brothers, Vile and Ve. His 

brothers disappeared one day without ever returning. Odin 

searched all the worlds of the World Tree Yggdrasil but 

without any success. Then he turned to the omniscient Mimir 

who sat at his well at one of the three roots of Yggdrasil. This 

was the well of knowledge which provided Mimir not only 

with wisdom but also with a great poetic spirit, in fact, the 

greatest that the world had ever heard of. Odin asked Mimir 

to partake of this magical water in order to learn the fate of 

his brothers. Mimir then asked for a sacrifice in return and 

Odin cut out his right eye and gave it to Mimir as his offering. 

After that day, Odin gained knowledge of all that has been, all 

that is and all that is to come and also the art of creating great 

poetry. But what happened to his brothers was only for him 

to know and was never told to anyone else. After this day the 

name Enöga, meaning "One eye", was bestowed on him. 

Hangadrott 

Hangadrott means 'King of the hanged' and the name refers 

to Odin's continuing quest for knowledge. After sacrificing his 

eye to Mimir, Odin now wanted to understand more about 

himself and of other living beings residing in the nine worlds 

of Yggdrasil. The name of the tree derives from the words 

Yggr, which is interpreted as 'the terrifying/dreaded’ and 

drasil, which stands for a runner or a horse. Thus Yggdrasil 

could be referred to as the terrifying horse. 

39


As a sacrifice to himself as they say in the sagas, Odin hung 

himself upside down in Yggdrasil for nine days and nine nights 

to undergo all the torments and agonies there was to endure 

so that he could better understand himself and the world as a 

whole. 

He underwent great pain and sorrow experiencing not only 

his own but others' experiences too and thereby gaining a 

greater understanding of all there is to know. 

During this quest, he was shown the runes which herald all 

the knowledge and he went forth to teach his children and 

some humans who were considered worthy apprentices, how 

to read them. 

Therefore the runes are seen both as letters to spread 

knowledge and as sacred divination tools given from the gods. 

The world Tree in other traditions 

The world tree is also of great importance in the Kabbalah 

and in other creation stories, including in the sense of being 

the tree of knowledge such as in the Old Testament and the 

Koran. 

Buddha is said to have gained his great knowledge when he 

was meditating under the Bodhi tree. The Mayan Indians 

mention the world tree Whack Chan in their legends. 

The Zoroastrians refer to a tree called Gaokerena which is 

said to give immortality when you drink its fruit juice which 

could be compared to the resurrection of the Aesirs and the 

Vanirs after Ragnarok, but that's another story. 

Conclusion 

The stories of Odin's sacrifices show that one has to go 

through various hardships to reach knowledge and wisdom. 

The symbolism of the old tale is clear and demonstrates the 

ever-present truth that wisdom is to be sought but with a 

price to be paid. 

My question is why can’t we better utilize the accumulated 

wisdom that already exists in order to create the best 

conditions for ourselves and the world? 

The old myths not only raise questions but also provide a lot 

of answers. So I will keep on searching in the old sagas and 

the story will continue...

Can you imagine the light 

Can you imagine the light that tries to 

look out through the mist 

The fog that shadows your incredible 

strength 

Can you imagine the egos delight when 

it stands in the way of the soul 

When it grows from the illusions you 

choose to believe in 

Can you imagine the fight before you 

let go of it all and just fall 

Fall into the ashes of Phoenix, the 

rebirth of your soul 

Can you imagine the light

MY SPIRITUAL 

JOURNEY 

Harj Rayatt 

I am thrilled to share my experience following a 

Spiritual Path Course I completed with Love 2 

Meditate. This course was for psychic empowerment 

and has profoundly impacted my life and spiritual 

journey, helping me discover new dimensions of my 

inner self and the unseen world around me. 

When I first enrolled on the Course, I was curious but 

somewhat nervous. Spirituality had always fascinated 

and intrigued me, yet I was not sure of what to expect 

from a structured course on the subject, especially on 

psychic empowerment! From the very first session, I 

realised this was no ordinary journey. The course was 

designed to guide us through the realms of spiritual 

awakening, self-discovery, and higher consciousness 

which I absolutely loved. 

One of the most significant aspects of the course was 

connecting to my spirit guides and power animals on a 

deeper level which I was able to do at the first session! 

These ethereal beings, who guide and protect me have 

never left my side since. Through guided meditations 

and exercises, I learned how to quieten my mind, open 

my heart, and connect with my guides. The experience 

was nothing short of magical. Initially, I doubted 

whether I could truly sense or communicate with these 

beautiful beings, but with practice, I began to feel their 

presence more distinctly and they are now my spiritual 

support every day and I call on them whenever I need 

their guidance, advice or comfort. 

Connecting with my guides has brought a sense of 

comfort and reassurance into my life. In moments of 

doubt or difficulty, I have found solace in knowing that 

I am not alone and that there is a greater purpose to 

my existence. This newfound connection has 

deepened my faith and trust in the universe and any 

fears that once paralysed me have melted away and I 

feel free, free to live my life the way I want without 

any judgement from myself or others. 

46


Another profound change that the Spiritual Path Course 

brought into my life was the development of clairvoyance. 

Before the course, I had fleeting moments of intuition or insight, 

but I often dismissed them as coincidences. The Course taught 

me how to harness and refine this ability, turning sporadic 

glimpses into clear visions. This has been an empowering 

experience, providing me with guidance and clarity in various 

aspects of my life. 

By unlocking the new sense of clairvoyance, I really see the 

world for what it is. I remember vividly the first time I had a 

clear clairvoyant experience during a guided meditation. It was 

as if a veil had been lifted, revealing a vibrant, energetic world 

packed with symbols and messages. These visions have helped 

me make more informed decisions, understand the underlying 

energies of situations, and connect more deeply with others. I 

frequently receive messages from the spirit realm for those 

nearest and dearest to me and find there is a great sense of 

healing for the recipient which fills my heart with so much love 

and joy. 

The course also emphasised the importance of grounding and 

protecting myself. As you open up to higher vibrations and 

spiritual experiences, it is crucial to remain grounded to Mother 

Earth and protect your energy field. These practices have been 

invaluable in maintaining balance and ensuring that my spiritual 

growth does not come at an expense to my wellbeing. 

One of the unexpected benefits of the Spiritual Path Course 

was the sense of community it fostered. Sharing this journey 

with like-minded individuals created a supportive and nurturing 

environment. We shared our experiences, challenges, and 

breakthroughs, learning from one another and growing together. 

Reflecting on my journey on the Spiritual Path Course, I am 

filled with gratitude. It has been a catalyst for profound personal 

growth and spiritual awakening. The tools and techniques I have 

learned continue to shape my daily life, helping me navigate the 

complexities of the human experience with greater ease and 

grace.

If you are considering embarking on a similar journey, I 

wholeheartedly encourage you to take the leap! Look for a 

course that you are drawn to like I was with The Spiritual Path 

Course. These courses have the potential to open doors you 

never knew existed and to connect you with the deeper truths 

of your being. It has certainly done so for me, and for that, I am 

eternally grateful. 

This journey has not only enriched my spiritual life but has also 

brought a sense of peace, purpose, and connection to my 

everyday existence. 

Love and Light to you.

Hidden in the Mist 


“Ambulance. 

Please hurry. It’s my 

sister” Robert blurted out, 

the terror and panic quite 

obvious in his fast delivery 

of the short sentence. 

“What’s your location, 

please” the call responder 

asked. 

“The end of Vine Lane, 

Stoke D’Abernon, where 

the path to the river is.” 

He looked at Richard as if 

for confirmation. Richard 

nodded, his eyes wide and 

his features pinched in 

concern. 

“Please hurry,” Robert 

added, a sob catching in 

his throat. 

“I think she might be 

dying.” 

The last was a plea 

delivered with a sob 

released from impotent 

despair.
