To provide a springboard for spiritual growth based on Unconditional Love . September, 2010 Michael’s Musings I just realised that with every newsletter now I am either about to leave on a tour or I am just home from one. This, of course, is the latter. Time to once again give a very special THANK YOU to all our wonderful organisers for everything they do for us . . . and that is a lot . . . and an equally special THANK YOU to all the people with whom we stay. Sometimes we stay with our organisers and sometimes in the homes of dear friends who attend our Intensives. I have a few amusing musings running through the mind. Memories of Philippe flying Carolyn and I over a rugged region in the French Alps in a tiny little aeroplane, or should I say light aircraft? It was certainly light! When Philippe let Carolyn take over the controls for a few moments, we were suddenly hit by wind turbulence as the weather deteriorated. As we bounced along, I hit my head on the roof of the cabin. I figured that I would be the new pilot in a metaphysical reality if our aircraft actually plummeted into the ground. No problem, however. Philippe quickly demonstrated his masterly control of flying in rough weather. When we landed we learned that all aircraft were grounded. We began our tour with a five-day visit to my brother in Oman. Despite the financial slump in Dubai, it has not affected Oman. Interesting to see shop after shop selling gold jewellery in the form of huge, solid gold necklaces, some of which are heavy enough to be a real burden. The Omani men hang these around the necks of their unfortunate wives, basically to display their wealth! We enjoyed the mysterious souks – centuries-old market places – which were fascinating to explore. I have never seen so many pashminas for sale in my life, stall after stall selling a bewildering range of colours and patterns, and in a hot country! The temperature ranged around 45 Celsius while we were there, so arriving to 5 Celsius in the Netherlands came as a bit of a shock. Then, just to even it all up, our final Intensive was in the high desert in Southern California at Joshua Tree, with the temperature steady at around 50 Celsius once again. The Joshua trees are yuccas, most of them many years old and very impressive. The biggest I saw was probably around three hundred years, reaching five to six metres, ancient and beautiful. Joshua Tree has a superb National Park, of which we were unable to see much at all. While many of the Intensive participants went on short hikes in the Park in the evenings, Carolyn and I were counselling those people who had personal sessions. On our one short lunch trip there, I noticed that the many huge boulders are incredibly similar to ours in Oz. Maybe it is a desert heritage. Personally I like the fauna and flora of desert country, even though I would not want to live in that intense heat. The many cacti and other succulents are very eye-catching, while the lizards basking in the heat or hunting insects always draw my attention. I like reptiles. The desert is inclined to remind me of the ways in which people live. I see a correlation between them. When the days are hot and dry, everything of desert life comes to a standstill.

unconditional Love. We are living in a time of Chaos rising. In my latest books I talk of Chaos as the engine that drives, while Order is the stability of structure. This is the meaning I attribute to these energies. As Chaos rises, it will attempt to strip from you the stable structure of your beliefs. This is creative. Let them go. Let go of your structured beliefs. Do not oppose Chaos; let it free you from the shackles of old, outmoded beliefs. Chaos can be your friend. If you cling to your beliefs and your emotional attachments, Chaos will be your enemy. It is your choice. Personally, I welcome the massive waves of Newness that are sweeping our planet. I embrace change and Newness in our Intensives and in our lives. Bring it on . . . WE ARE GROWING! In Love and Light, Michael

Questions and Insights . . .As always, remember that questions look for answers

outside Self. If you have the question, then at a deeper level you also have the insight. (That’s wholeness!) This column is designed to be a springboard into your own inner wisdom and insight. Please use it as such.

Question: In your recent newsletter I saw that you discussed "agreements" which seem to be the same as the "software programs" you mention, just a different name. I see them as "ego characters." I have one born out of trauma, and although I am quite conscious of it, it still has the power to create the emotion of worry when the "program" runs. Because I am quite conscious of it, it usually has to sneak up on me. It is a health issue that might return, and if I keep running the program that is checking for it, the program might actually manifest it. So it is pretty important to stop this program running. If I sit quietly with it and bring my attention to it, it will usually recede a lot. Are there any other methods or "quick pills" you can think of to help diminish these programs? Also, do your Intensives cover this area of the mind?

Insight: Quick pills are a nice idea, but the reality of life does not really work that way. All the destructive programs we have created have taken a very long time to become established, and they do not disappear in a hurry. Without revisiting it, if you reread the 'agreements' article again you will find that it is not the same as 'software-programs.' The latter refers to the subconscious programs that literally run our lives. There is no easy, quick-fix method that is going to endure. Short-term fixes are no more than a nice-belief-illusion laid over a not-nice-belief-illusion. Let me be clear about this. Left-brain dominant people are attracted by more-of-the-same. Yet they get hurt by it! Right-brain dominant people can potentially move through the subconscious programs more easily because they are attracted by newness. You wrote, “If I sit quietly and bring my attention to it, it will recede a lot.” Exactly! The key here is attention. When you pay attention to your thoughts (Continued, page 3)

to come to a standstill. We wait for life, while life waits for us. In the desert this is a natural cycle, the hot dry inactive day, with the period of darkness full of activity. This is where we differ. Our period of inactivity does not improve at night, it continues its stagnation. The desert is a place of Nature where life adapts to the conditions. We, however, attempt to make life adapt to us and our conditions. And this will never happen. When we find our lives have become stagnant, then we need to accept that this condition is not a reflection of life, it is a reflection of how we 'live' our lives. The next step in this correlation is simple. Our lives are always a reflection of our relationships with ourselves. In the desert, natural life is a reflection of the environment. In other words, the desert reflects the outer environment, while for us, our life reflects our inner environment; the landscape of our mental and emotional expressions. I am busy writing and moving toward the finish of THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE – Book Two. My books are an in-the-moment experience, so I thoroughly enjoy my involvement. It is an amazing thing to be physically in my study and yet in an altered state of reality engaged in some other worldly activity. Finding how my relationship with Pan began will make fascinating reading for you. It was a matter of being in two time zones simultaneously, a process of being in both the past and the future together. Carolyn and I are both back on our Cardio-Gym and building our bodies back to fighting fit. Being fit made a huge difference for me this year. It was far easier handling our suitcases all the very many times that I am required to in our many moves over a four-month period. Carolyn is inclined to 'forget' to use the Gym, but after feeling the physical stresses of all our travels, she too is now regularly working up a sweat. She used to be a regular at aerobic classes and was one of the top performers – if that is the right word – so she is now putting all that energy and fervour into working on the Cardio-Gym. She really likes the results . . . and so do I! Our winter has officially ended. With the advent of September, we officially begin Spring. Last year our Winter was very mild; this year August was really quite cold . . . for us! I'm so busy with my book that the garden is having to wait. Not that it matters. It is so well mulched that all is well. Talking about my garden reminds me that my book CONSCIOUS GARDENING has been published in the French language and is now going into the Italian language. Very good! This year has seen us say farewell to Rolf. He has been my German organiser and translator for about fifteen years, and has done a very good job. I, personally, deeply appreciate all that he has done for me. However, it has been obvious for a few years that our paths were no longer in sync, so as he stepped down a few others stepped forward. We now welcome Marc and Nina in Germany as our new organisers, along with Jenny, our newsletter translator and soon-to-be verbal translator, and the computer literate Sacha, who is creating a new German website. Our next mini-tour is Japan, in early October for three weeks. Yasumi, who attended the new Belgium Intensive this year – you never know where she will pop up – will be Mother Hen to Carolyn and I once again as we negotiate the very extensive railways of Japan and the bewildering and bustling city traffic. Two right-brainers, both Carolyn and I have an uncanny ability to get lost or misplaced. To state it nicely, we are both geographically challenged! We now have new friends and organisers in Belgium. Henri, with the smile, and Monique, with the laugh. Lovely people who are very welcome to our growing family. I am looking forward to our time in Japan where we meet somany people who make such powerful life changes as a result of my Intensives. The principle I teach of ‘All Life is One’ fits in perfectly with the traditional Japanese Shinto religion. They accept that there are Gods and Goddesses of Nature, rather than a single, separate, judgmental God that Western religion is inclined to promote. I cannothelp but wonder when religion will promote and practice

and emotions you can select them, consciously choosing support thoughts that lift your emotions. And this is what you need to do. In other words, live consciously. You cannot stop the vast subconscious river of life that sweeps us along, nor do you need to fight it. But you do have to consciously pay attention to your daily life, making life-supporting choices in what you focus on. Where you focus, energy flows. You provide that energy flow. Focus on loving yourself, on loving your life, on loving the people in your life. This will transform your life. But . . . it will not be fast. It will not be easy. It will, however, be permanent! My Intensives cover all aspects of life and living. They are based in unconditional Love. They also offer the knowledge and inspiration that will enable a person to transform their life, providing they live what they learn. And very many people do so. I do not teach mind dynamics. Seminars on mind control generally teach you how to have more wealth, more toys, yet you remain in the prison. I teach people how to get out of the prison!

Question: I am in a bit of a quandary regarding diet. You are a teacher who knows, in the deepest sense of the word. I have read all of your books, most of them multiple times, and I constantly find gems that I had totally missed in previous readings. I just finished rereading Into a Timeless Realm and was drawn to this statement (page 238). “Grain forms the basis of many of their foods, along with a diversity of fruit and vegetables that would leave you gasping.” I realize the wonderful frame of reality that you experienced where people worked in cooperation with nature is an example of the ideal; I surely imagined it as ideal through your writing. My thought is that the spiritually-centered genetic manipulation of both humans and plants (with their permission and cooperation) lead to the foods they ate, including grains, that were all health supportive. In the present 2010 frame of reality, I find that people do better eating whole organic foods, with sufficient whole protein, good fat and very small amounts of carbohydrates. As a doctor, how do I reconcile the ideal future with the present in advising people on healthy eating? I find that vegans especially develop specific health problems.

Insight: First, let me say I have removed two large paragraphs simply to condense the gist of the letter. Secondly, food/diet is a subject that invokes so much emotion that I generally avoid it! You are correct. In that frame-of-reality I wrote about in Into a Timeless Realm, food was genetically altered using the conscious intelligence of Nature and humans to 'improve' the quality for mutual benefit. Genetically modified food of today is 'altered' in a way that benefits only the profits of the giant pharmaceutical companies. So, with regards your question . . . what can I say? A friend who was a naturopath until retirement told me that the sickest of his clients were vegans. And they were the most difficult to convince of this. I can only advise what you already know. Organic food is superior and should always be first choice. However, healthy eating is only a small part in the whole health issue. By far and away the most important aspect to good health is healthy thinking. Consider the equation this way. Thoughts precede emotions. The emotions which are triggered by thought impact the physical body where they are made physically manifest. This is what it is all about. The health of our body is a monitor for the health of our thoughts and emotions. Certainly, eat well and wisely; that is a must. But, if you think attack thoughts triggering low emotions which in turn attack the body, then you will have an appetite for junk food. Low vibrational thoughts = low vibrational emotions = low vibrational food cravings. Happily, the opposite is also true. You cannot have a thought without an accompanying emotion. It is thought and emotion that

that will determine your overall health. Loving thoughts create loving emotions which create a dynamic loving body which enjoys exercise and healthy food. The emotional body is far and away the strongest body we have. Physical and mental are almost puny by comparison. Teach your patients how to have emotional health . . . and the rest follows like ducklings following Mother Ducky! You will realise that this is all about living consciously. Subconscious thought patterns are almost always negative. This is destructive to our emotional body, and thus to our physical health. People who become vegan because of health issues are depending on food to give them the answer to their health problems. Generally this will fail them. They will have emotional issues simmering in the background that remain unresolved. Food will never resolve emotional issues, not even the emotional issue some people have of eating meat. Not eating meat will not resolve that issue if it is at all emotional. If being a vegetarian is a clear cut, non-emotional choice, then fair enough. This is different. For me, the food I eat is my conscious choice. This is the way it should be for all of us; a conscious choice, not a subconscious reaction. Equally, we should all be able to eat without guilt. Guilt is a huge issue in what we eat for so many people . . . emotional issues! This will simply cycle round and round until the person has real food problems . . . allergies. Allergies so often represent the unresolved emotional problem of lifetimes for that person. We forget that we are aways being creative. Imagine living in a lifetime of poverty and starvation. Just eating food, when all around you are starving, would be enough to make you feel guilty. Think about this: In every moment we are creating the content and direction of every moment of our ever-continuing lives. Imagine all the emotional issues of the average person, and you have an idea of the never-ending issues people have with food. Feed the emotions with love, and that becomes the food for the body. One last reminder. Love is not an emotion. Love is the power of creation. Loving yourself is, in effect, literally and holistically re-creating yourself and your life.

Question: I have what is probably a silly question, but here goes anyway! When we are in our light bodies are we wearing clothes? Do we have sexual characteristics? Do we have recognizable human form? If our physical bodies have only one breast or one leg, do our light bodies have both? If our physical bodies have some disease, can you see it in our light bodies? Thank you so much.

Insight: Actually, it is not such a silly question. You are probably asking what a lot of people just wonder about! First of all, you say, "When we are in our Light-bodies." You need to realise that we are each a Being of Love and Light. This is our true Beingness. Our physical body is the mortal vehicle of the immortal Being we truly are. We are always a Light-body, no matter how unaware of this we are. Okay, having said that, I know you mean when we are aware of being in our Light-body, such as when we are metaphysically focussed. Our Light-body is a field-of-energy that mostly retains its human shape, or similar, but does not actually need to. We retain a close proximity to our physical body simply because that shape is in our consciousness. In fact, our physical body shape easily becomes a habit! For example, a person who is very fat may spend much of their life hating their body shape and unsuccessfully attempting to lose weight. More often than not, they will eventually reincarnate into the same body shape that they spent so much time hating and (Continued, page 4)

focusing on in their previous life. To where you constantly focus, energy flows. Equally, if they were fat, but unbothered by it, it is very unlikely that they would repeat it next time. No, a Light-body does not wear clothes, only the physical body does that. A Light-body is exactly that; a powerful Light energy. Obviously then, a Light-body cannot be sexual, but if you are a woman, your body-of-Light will have a feminine energy. Feminine energy . . . not female sexual energy! It is the same for a male. Both feminine and masculine energies on a higher vibration have nothing to do with sexuality. If our physical body loses a leg, or a breast, that has no detrimental affect on our Light-body. The Light-body will not reflect this. The reason some people who lose a leg and feel what they describe as a phantom leg is because on a holistic level, they remain whole. Energetically, the leg remains. In their astral and etheric bodies, the leg remains. The only part of us that is transient and temporary is our physical body! You ask if we have a disease if you can see it in our Light-body. Yes, you can. The metaphysical always precedes the physical. This means that before any disease can manifest in your physical body, the discord is first in your Light-body. This includes losing a leg or breast. Disease means out-of-harmony. When your thinking becomes too negative, precipitating negative emotions, your Light-body will be out-of-harmony. Only after this will dis-ease enter your physical body. To a person trained in observing the Light-body, they will discern the difference between health and sickness. It appears rather like a stain or shadow in the Light-body. Actually, this is the best time to heal it. We do this by changing the negative program that is out-of-harmony into one of positive in-harmony via our thoughts and emotions. It is very sobering to realise that in every moment of your life you are creating the direction and content of every moment of your life. Think about that for a while, let it sink in. You are the creator of your life.

Question: My companion is looking very deeply into finding out Who He Really Is, as he puts it, and feels he can only do it alone - that interaction with others clutters and confuses this process that he is doing. I understand this also, as I know that I need and have had a lot of alone time and I am totally supportive of the path he is taking right now. But this question has been coming up for me lately. If you cut yourself off from almost everyone in your life, from whom do you learn and grow to expand your Self? Isn’t the everyday experience of life one of our best teachers? I think that Michael says something like “let Life be your teacher” in the Oracle. So when does 'Centered on Self' become just plain old 'self-centered,' aka “it’s all about me?” Maybe it’s when despite your solitude and meditating, you are still listening to your monkey mind and not your heart? I do know that a good relationship can only exist when both people are connected to their Self or Source, which is why you two are so great as a couple.

Insight: This business of being alone really equates to ‘when I make my mistakes I don't want anybody to see them!’ Then, perhaps, I can convince myself it wasn't really a mistake. Really the journey is about LOVING yourself at ALL times and in ALL situations. When you fail yourself and other people, when you let yourself down, but you can still think loving thoughts about yourself, you have it made. Being alone does not assist this in any way at all. Quite honestly, unless you go and live on a desert island, you are never alone. It is a concept of illusion and desperation. Even on a desert island you are still in the most profound relationship of them all - the relationship with yourself.

To isolate yourself is inclined to make your quest to find out Who You Are all the more difficult. This is not a journey of the head. Let the left-brain hemisphere take a holiday; send it off on a long hike! If you want to know Who You Are, look into your heart. You will find that in the metaphysical space of the heart there is a resident - this is Who You Are. You are that resident soul. You are a soul with a body. If the personality asks the question of who you are, then all it will get is conceptual answers. This is a game we have been playing for a long time. Rather than ask Who Am I?, try stating a living truth: I am a magnificent, metaphysical Being of Love and Light . . . the soul. I am the soul I am. The personality that asks the question can never know the answer, because it is NOT the answer. The soul that makes the statement knows its truth, because it IS the truth!

Question: This may sound a bit impertinent, but if I can read your books and listen to your CDs, why should I need to attend one of your 5-Day Intensives?”

Insight: This is different, but it is a fair question. While books are a great stimulus, they are generally read more as fodder for the mind than food for the soul. Having said this, I actually consider my books as food for the soul! The same with my CDs. The content is very uplifting and inspiring, and easily communicates new insights to the listener. But as with books, there always remains a missing element. A 5-Day Intensive is a living experience. A true spiritual teacher embodies the consciousness of inner growth. This is far more important than is realised. We are each a field-of-energy. When people come to an Intensive, they come into my field-of-energy for five days. During that time I am able to convey and impart more 'substance' in consciousness than a week of reading or listening to CDs could possibly manage. In effect, there is a consciousness transfer, backed up and consolidated by the process of speaking from unconditional Love. By 'substance' I am talking about energy. I am energy, as you are. As a spiritual teacher it is my responsibility to have a higher resonance of spiritual energy than the Intensive participants. In this way, when our energies merge there is a tremendous exchange of energy taking place, an exchange far beyond the conscious awareness of most participants. An Intensive participant benefits more from this energy exchange than even the obvious benefit of the spoken words. Words are grabbed intellectually and thought about, then they move into the emotions, causing emotional shifts of energy. At this stage it is common for emotional blocks to collapse, or dissolve, and the participant often feels a 'low' or 'high.' This is all perfectly natural. However, it is the silent, unrealised dynamic of the deeper conscious exchange of energy that brings up the huge insights, the “ah ha” moments. Energy is information. When, over a five-day period my field-of-energy is sharing information purely as energy, touching you on a deep cellular and DNA level, plus triggering deeper layers of consciousness that rise to the surface of the participant . . . then you have just some of the reasons why you need to attend my Intensives. You will also meet people who often become lifetime friends, plus meeting the people who are old soul companions.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when

men are afraid of the Light. Plato

“Unconditional Love . . . The Place of Miracles”

“When I think of the word ‘Love’ I get the impression of sunshine in my life. I like this. Too much of what we think and talk about points us toward gloom. So I make a point of constantly reminding myself to focus on Love. I do this because unconditional Love has transformed my life. I have learned the most difficult Love of all; to Love myself. I also remind myself that I am a soul with a body, not a body with a soul. This, in itself, transforms the way I approach life. As a soul I am ageless. As a soul I have no resistance to unconditional Love. As a soul the angry, critical words of a person have little effect, for the soul speaks only of Love. Love transcends all languages, all barriers, forever creating newness. I have learned that Love is not an emotion. Love is the dynamic power of creation. Love is unconditional; anything less is not Love. Love without any conditions is not the normal human way. It should be. We have far too much focus on what is seemingly wrong with life than we do with life’s perfection. On reading this, some might even think, “What perfection?” Look through the eyes of Love and you will see it. This is the place of miracles. In Love, miracles happen within your own consciousness. In this way you see the miracles of perfection that judgmental eyes are unable to see. Join me in the 2011 Intensives so that together we can explore this unconditional Love. If you are open enough, the energy of Love will create newness in your consciousness and newness in your life. This unconditional Love, this newness, is the place of miracles.”

When I Started Loving Myself by Charlie Chaplin

written on his 70th birthday, April 16, 1959

When I started loving myselfI’ve understood that I’m always and at any given opportunity

in the right place at the right time.And I’ve understood that all that happens is right –

from then on I could be calm.Today I know: It’s called TRUST.When I started to love myself

I understood how much it can offend somebodyWhen I try to force my desires on this person,

even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me.

Today I know: It’s called RESPECT.

When I started loving myselfI could recognize that emotional pain and grief

are just warnings for me to not live against my own truth.Today I know: It’s called AUTHENTICALLY BEING.

When I started loving myselfI have stopped longing for another life and could see that

everything around me was a request to grow.Today I know: It’s called MATURITY.

When I started loving myselfI’ve stopped depriving myself of my free time and I’ve

stopped sketching further magnificent projects for the future.Today I only do what’s fun and joy for me,

what I love and what makes my heart laugh,in my own way and in my tempo.

Today I know: it’s called HONESTY.When I started loving myself

I’ve escaped from all what wasn’t healthy for me,from dishes, people, things, situations

and from everything pulling me down and away from myself.In the beginning I called it the “healthy egoism”

but today I know: it’s called SELF-LOVE.When I started loving myself

I’ve stopped wanting to be always right thus I’ve been less wrong.

Today I’ve recognized: it’s called HUMBLENESS.

When I started loving myselfI’ve refused to live further in the past and to worry about my

future. Now I live only at this moment where EVERYTHING takes place,

like this I live every day and I call it CONSCIOUSNESS.When I started loving myselfI recognized, that my thinking

can make me miserable and sick.When I though requested for my heart forces,

my mind got an important partner.I call this connection today: HEART WISDOM.

We do not need to fear further discussions,conflicts and problems with ourselves and otherssince even stars sometimes bang on each other

and create new worlds.Today I know: THIS IS THIS LIFE!

A story of hope and inspiration . . . A story about Klaus

My name is Klaus and I live in Germany. I’d like to tell you my story. I first met Michael and his late wife Treenie at a seminar in Germany in the year 2004. A year and a half later I had to cope with the largest crisis of my life. Towards the end of 2005 I had my blood checked as a health precaution measure. The results hinted at cancer. For a while I put it off, then I finally decided to get a full diagnosis. It was now May, 2006. While I was waiting for the results, I went to the last of the old Roadsway Retreats in 2006. In the seminar I opened up and told the members of the group about my fears of being incurably ill. Two months earlier, Isabel, a good friend of mine, died from cancer within a year of diagnosis. Treenie took me aside and calmed me, saying that if my doctor actually diagnosed cancer, along with my medical treatment I should also try to heal the disease in spiritual ways. She suggested an inner meditation exercise, The Sphere of Tranquility. The result of the examination proved to be aggressive cancer. I began to do the inner-exercise. About two months later I had my surgery. After the surgery the doctor told me that there still was the possibility that not all of the cancerous body tissue had been removed. I was classified as a risk patient. Following on from what I had learned at the Retreat, I now radically changed my private and professional life. I spoke with my boss about the illness. He fully understood. I gave up working in management and reduced my field of work down to the basics. I tried to reduce my trauma. I knew I didn’t want to die. I had 2 young daughters and a wife who loved me and needed my love. My daughters knew nothing about the danger, but I think my wife suffered more than me. In February of the following year the blood test showed that cancer was still there. I was in severe danger. Every morning I did the inner-exercise. After 3 months I received radiotherapy to destroy the cancer cells. But it also would partly destroy the surrounding healthy body tissue. At Michael Road's new Intensive that year I spoke about my fears again. Michael advised me to heal myself using the Power of Conscious Love. He advised that I sing the words of the song “I Love You” (along with the music of Nanne and Ankie) aloud in front of a mirror every morning and evening for about half an hour. He told me that this would change my inner consciousness. I was very grateful for his advice and I did as he suggested. I sang and sang . . . every day . . . and I still do so. I cured myself by singing my love to me, and I am now healthy. I learned a lot. The surgery and radiotherapy made sense in my opinion. But above all the medical treatment, my spiritual power supported the healing immensely. And the energy of all those who loved me and thought of me played a great part in the process of healing. To my mind my spiritual power had not been strong enough to rely on because I was so frightened. The song “I Love You” gave me that support. By now I am convinced that consciousness is able to change your reality. I thought about these words of Michael's a lot, that you can change your life completely if you change your consciousness, letting go of your old conditioning. These are not exactly Michael’s words, but that’s how I understood them. For me, a complete change of consciousness is still a far aim, but I really trust

in it. I practice the things I have learned. I now accept that the cancer was a warning in my body that something had gone badly wrong in my life. The healing by my own spiritual power gave my life back to me. I tell you this story to show you that even if you are in a hopeless situation, in which there seems to be no help, it is possible for you to cure yourselves. Do it! I did and it worked for me. I'm a normal human being so it can also work for you! Yours with Love, Klaus

Q. Yes, the dream body does exist, but it doesn't really exist.A. Now you are hitting on the right point. What makes it not "really" exist according to you?Q. It doesn't really exist because when I wake up, that whole set up is gone.A. Yes, that is true. So you gauge reality by its permanency. If it comes and goes, then it is not real. Am I right in assuming this as your stance?Q. Yes, that is my stance.A. Good. Now let's get back to the question I started with. So if the dream body is not real, what said "I" while in the dream body?Q. It is consciousness that said "I".A. Good. Where was the location of that consciousness within the dream?Q. It was everywhere, although it felt like it was only in the body.A. So the body was only an appearance within this consciousness?Q. Yes, that is how it feels.A. This is also the case with your current body.Q. How can this be the case?A. This is the case with your real body also because it is also not real.Q. It isn't, but it feels real. I mean, when I wake up from the dream, I wake up into this body. Therefore this body must be real.A. You said earlier that the definition of real is something that is permanent. If it comes and goes then it isn't real. Isn't this the case with your waking body as it is right now also? When you go into the dream state, what happens to the body of this state? Doesn't it also disappear? When you go into deep sleep, doesn't all of this disappear? If all of this disappears, then how can you say that even this state is permanent?Q. Whoa, I never thought of it that way before! So this body is a dream as well?A. Don't jump to conclusions so fast. See this as clearly as you can in order to establish your true position. In the dream state, the dream body is false, but something says "I". We have established that the dream body cannot say "I", yet something says "I". This "I" is consciousness. It is the presence without which neither the dream body nor the waking body would appear. Now it appears that the waking body says "I", but the truth is that it is consciousness alone which is the presence of "I". All is taking place within it.Even when you wake up from deep sleep and say, "I wasn't aware of anything", it is the same "I" that noticed that there was nothing to be aware of in deep sleep. There are not many "I"s. It is the same "I" in all three states. In fact, all the three states show up and disappear within the consciousness which we refer to as "I". This is the true and only position. You are the "I". Remain as this and see whether you can ever be away from the Self. by Sukhbir Singh Awakening to One

Establishing the True Position of “I”Q. I want to know the Self.A. Where is the location of the "I" that wants to know the Self?Q. It is here, in this body.A. Does the body say "I"?Q. Yes, I am the body and I say "I".A. When you see a corpse, can it say "I"?Q. No, the corpse cannot say "I".A. If the body could say "I" then the corpse should also be able to say "I", but it can't. What does this mean?Q. It means that there is something else in this body that says "I" which means that I am not the body.A. Yes, then what are you?Q. I am something within this body.A. Question this assumption. Is this true?Q. It sure feels like I am this body.A. Okay, if that is the case, let's look at this another way. When you are asleep and dreaming, you have a body as well, right?Q. Yes, now that I think about it, I have a body as well when I am dreaming.A. In the dream, that feels like your real body and the feeling is also that you are inside your body. Can you confirm this?Q. Yes, this is the case. I can confirm it. I feel like I am inside the body when I am dreaming as well.A. Good. Now when you are dreaming, where is your location? The real YOU. Where is it? Is it inside the body?Q. The real me is on the bed sleeping somewhere, not inside the body.A. That is just a mental answer. In the dream, you feel like you are in your body looking at the world, interacting in the world - where are you located in the dream? Don't tell me that you are on the bed, you need to go to the mind to come up with that answer. Put yourself in the dream, at that time you don't remember your bedroom or anything. Where are you?Q. In the dream, I feel like I am in the body, but the truth is that I am simply aware of the dream. I don't know where I am located.A. Look deeper. Are you in the body or outside of the body?Q. In the dream, it feels like I am in the body, but that body is not real, so I must be outside it.A. Don't jump to any conclusion about the body being real or not real. Now let's get to the real core of the matter. In the dream body you say "I", believing yourself to be it. Does the dream body say "I"?Q. I don't quite get your question.A. I am simply asking whether the dream body can say "I".Q. Yes, I say "I", even when I am in the dream body.A. No, no, I am asking you whether your dream body can say "I".Q. Oh no, of course not, how can something that doesn't exist say anything.A. But your dream body does exist in the dream. There is a tangible existence of it. You can see it, you can feel it. It does exist.

TheConsciousnessColumnOne particular aspect of my life that I take very seriously is that of a spiritual teacher. I still tend to cringe a bit with that description of my work/life, but its truth is undeniable. My main focus is to inspire unconditional Love in the participants of my Intensives or seminars. We all have this capacity for unconditional Love, but somehow it seldom gets used. We get lost in the drama of the personality, in our petty issues and in the emotional baggage of our past. We lose sight of the fact that real Love, unconditional Love, is the power of creation. It is not an emotion as is so commonly believed by today’s society. As a spiritual teacher, I expect the participants at an Intensive to emotionally and spiritually grow. This means that the consciousness of the spiritual teacher must also be growing, that his or her field-of-energy must contain inner-growth. When the participants spend five days in the field-of-energy of a spiritual teacher dedicated to inner-growth, this triggers, nurtures and enhances the inner-growth of every participant. This 'growth' connection is absolutely essential. I must state, however, that it is possible for a person to isolate themselves from this 'growth connection' simply by being so strongly in their head, in their own beliefs, that they are not actually participating. I have to say, however, that these people are now very rare in my Intensives. And the reason is me! Going back nineteen years, and during the first maybe ten years of my doing Retreats, I quite often came across them. Of course, I blamed them for being the way that they were. It was not my fault . . . but over the years I have learned that I was wrong. In those days I was teaching 'them,' the participants; now I am teaching/inspiring 'us,' including myself. I have learned that the difference between the spiritual teacher and the participants is zero. The expressions of how the teacher and the participants live our own lives may well be very different, but we are all of one human consciousness. Whatever is in the consciousness of the participants is in the consciousness of the spiritual teacher. The reverse is also true. Whereas the evolved spiritual teacher may have resolved all his or her personal issues, we are all connected in consciousness. If a person has an alcohol problem, there is nothing that I know about this as I have never experienced it, but we still connect in the same human consciousness. I can certainly learn information about such problems, but it still remains outside of my field of experience. However, with or without such knowledge, I can connect with such a person in the areas of care and compassion. I can reach across that space of inexperience and connect with them on the purely human level of emotions. No matter how the emotional body is disturbed, whether by drugs or alcohol, or simply by anger and judgement, the effect is the same; emotional disturbance. A number of years ago I spoke to several groups of indigent people in the U.S. These talks were free and were mostly well attended. I remember one group was composed basically of middle-aged black women. They looked at me with a fair degree of scepticism and scorn. “So what does this white Australian honky think he has to teach us?” was the clear but unspoken comment. Fair enough. I told them I look at life in terms of what does, and does not, work for you. Humanity has an addiction to what does 'not' work, and repeats it endlessly. Drugs and alcohol do not work. Poverty does not work any more than extreme wealth. You can get just as lost in extreme wealth as in poverty. I told them that we

explore all the extremes of what does not work; chief among these are the different modalities of attacking yourself. Self-criticism is extremely commonplace and, whether wealthy or poor, people do it constantly . . . it does not work. Self-judgement, getting angry with yourself, comparing yourself with others, none of these work. Put the whole lot together and you get the heart diseases, cancers, sicknesses and poverty that are all spreading so rapidly today. Then I told them what does work. You could have heard a pin drop. I had their attention. So, you are asking, what does work? Answer: unconditional Love for yourself. It never fails you. Never. But I am talking about unconditional Love, not high, emotive thoughts of love. Unconditional Love is a dynamic conscious way of living. This Love is not an emotion, nor is it thoughts of self-worth. While you have a physical body, you are still learning the dimensions of unconditional Love. I know I am. And this is where we started this column. The spiritual teacher is a teacher only if he or she is living in this conscious state of Love. They are truly teaching only when they truly Love all the participants in the room with them. And you do not have to know a person to Love them. Anything less than this is simply disseminating spiritual information. And sharing spiritual information has no more to do with 'true' teaching than the school teacher who perceives him- or herself as separate from, and above, his or her younger students. Scientific studies now reveal that the attitude of the teacher to the students, what they think of a student, smart or stupid, pleasant or unpleasant, competent or incompetent, etc., will have a dramatic affect on the performance of the student. What was your relationship like with your teachers when you were at school? More importantly, what was theirs with you? By Loving the people in my Intensives I bring them to the doors of Loving themselves. Of course, the people have to do the inner-work. All I am doing is empowering that possibility by Loving those who find it difficult to Love themselves. And that's everybody. And I do this by Loving myself. If I cannot Love myself, then I cannot Love other people. Oneness, remember? Unconditional Love is not selective, it is all embracing. All is One. One is All. No separation! Naturally enough, I too get plenty of opportunities to inner grow. Without making this story too detailed, let me simply say that two people whom I love have, for their own reasons, put me out of their lives. One of the people I had a row with, the other I did not. However, because I have loved these two people for a long time, long enough to foolishly believe that I actually 'knew' them, I found that I was very hurt by the two episodes. Both incidents took place in almost the same time frame, so it was like a double 'whammy!' I was emotionally involved . . . rather than instantly seeing this as yet another opportunity for my growth. It's called being human! For a long time I thought that it was all about a clash of realities, but gradually another picture began to emerge. From one person came anger, very ugly anger. From the other came nothing; his life simply took a hugely different direction. For the next six months I felt deeply hurt, even while in denial of being hurt. We so easily fool ourselves! It was while on tour this year (2010) that I was compelled to face my inner-hurt. Out of the blue, a friend in the U.S. sent us some of her university students art as an example of how they illustrated an increase in the right-brain hemisphere after having done three of the inner-exercises that I devised for our Intensives. I hasten to add that the exercises are nothing to do with art, but have a lot to do with brain patterns. (Continued, page 9)

One of the drawings was an arty arrangement of words with which I am very familiar: you are not a body with a soul; you are a soul with a body. As I said, this was not new to me, but as I read the words they had an impact from a whole different angle. I tottered on the edge of a deep inner-revelation, but as I reached for it, so it slipped away. I was not dismayed by this. I knew that in perfect timing all would be revealed. And so it proved to be. At eight-thirty on the morning of my birthday, I was looking in the mirror shaving. Once again I became aware of my feelings of inner-hurt. I readily acknowledged them this time, easily accepting their reality. Then, a series of inner-realisations all happened simultaneously: the words “I am a soul with a body” suddenly threw a brilliant Light into the arena of hurt. At the same time, I knew that unconditional Love does not feel hurt; where Love is unconditional, hurt cannot exist. With clear new insight, I could now inner-see/experience these two souls moving into a very intense period of expression in their own lives, for whatever reasons pertain to them. I inner-felt two souls, each saying, “You are not going to like what will happen/is happening. As a soul, all I need is your unconditional Love.” And just like that, I felt it. I felt a wave of unconditional Love sweep into me, expanding the Love I already have. Hurt was instantly gone, and all I could feel was a deep and unconditional Love for these two people. I felt a complete and total release from them. Whatever they do, whatever . . . it matters not. Love is all that is. I 'Love' them. And unconditional Love is a state of inner freedom. Let me be clear that this does not mean that I now suddenly approve of their directions in life, or their expressions of life; it means that I no longer give my inner-peace away. We are each free of each other. Unconditional Love is a freedom. Interestingly, Carolyn, who has also been involved in the unpleasantness, stepped out of the shower at that moment, and as I began to share with her she said, “Oh wow, I was just experiencing a similar insight. Almost the same thing.” I wanted to send them emails and say, “Thank you,” but Carolyn thought that would be inappropriate. I agreed. This is strictly between souls, not personas. A few other insights were revealed. Both of these people had a deep emotional attachment to me. They may or may not agree with this, but their souls verify it. An emotional attachment is always negative. Not bad or wrong, but always negative. Love is a freedom, never an attachment. The only way a person can break a negative attachment is negatively. This generally means with a lot of anger or complete withdrawal. And this is exactly what happened. All in all a wonderful growth experience, even if it generated a lot of unpleasantness to facilitate it. I have shared this for one reason only; you may be going through a similar experience. Or, you possibly will in the not too distant future. Allow yourself to experience your emotions, then lift your energy from the emotions of the solar plexus, higher and higher up to the open heart and the place of unconditional Love. As Carolyn often says, “There it is no difference between giving offence and taking offence.” One of these people offered me offensive hurt, the other offered me none. I, however, took offence and hurt from both of them. Now, I am released. I pray that it works out as well for them. We live – and if we live consciously – we learn. In Love and Light, Michael

BOOK TWO- Journeying with Pan -- Journeying with Pan -

“This is an eye-opening book. It is a heart-opening book. It is food for the soul. I have explained Pan as fully as possible within these pages. Put simply, Pan is the Spirit of Nature. He presents an opportunity to open yourself to a greater reality. For all those people who are whole brain or right-hemisphere dominant, here is a rich, king-sized helping of heart-food. For left-hemisphere brain dominant people, this is an opportunity to stimulate the corpus callosum into a very exciting right-brain exploration of the metaphysical mysteries of life. This book involves my metaphysical journeys into realms and realities that have for a long time intrigued me. The very idea of dragons and unicorns held such Mystery that I could not resist a metaphysical investigation. This came with many shocks and surprises. Another Mystery that I wanted to uncover and resolve was about my own origins. More surprises, or perhaps for me, greater self-acceptance would be more accurate. I have investigated the enigma of crop circles and Light orbs. I have experienced that which was such a terrible and destructive violation create a beauty and newness previously unknown to this planet. I have followed the emotional-trail of our most base expressions, and the exhilarating soul-trail of unconditional Love. All this . . . and far, far more!”

The holiest of all spots on earth is where

an ancient hatred has become a present Love. A Course in Miracles

Being There with Michaelby Steve Pridham

I honor you and come before you like a flower lover before a rose,Inhaling its latent fragrance with humility and gratitudeAs it fills The Moment with the sweetness of joy, wisdom, powerAnd offers answers to an otherwise suffering life.

See through this furrowed brow, graying hair and veined skinTo the glowing essence within and show me Who I Am.Do I have a chance in the next year or five to become like youWith the subtle and screaming voices that surround me day to day?

Am I too sick and tired and full of grief, hatreds, resentmentsAnd Western World addiction to achieve The Only Reality?Am I lost for this lifetime, having too many blacks and reds in my auraTo even think about dreaming of hoping to become my Highest Self?

Am I embarrassing myself now? Giving way to the “poor me’s”And the negative programming which I attempt to love and forgiveEvery day and erase moment to moment using your teachingsOf magnificent, metaphysical, multidimensional Love and Light?

Can you transfer to me The Power I need to permanently transcend?Or is my fate to linger some more in this false time and spaceBuried within my self-made suffering that I don’t remember creating,But am far too aware of right now?

I am worthy of sniffing your magnificence becauseHere I am being smelled by you and praying that my scentIs kind, like one who has traveled the Universe cloaked in manyDisguises, yet has showered often in The Freezing Cold Knowing.

"When I first realized that the Joshua Retreat Center (2010 USA Intensive) was my destination of divine intention, I put what might have been artificial expectations on my attendance. I adjusted my excitement to what I thought would be more realistic, so as I arrived I had convinced myself to expect nothing and whatever unfolded would be perfect in every way. Well, if ever the phrase “It was more than I could ever hope for” was appropriately used, it would be here. . . . Unconditional Love is a term that I have heard and even used for years. But never has the term been so real before. . . . And to experience unconditional love, as I did with each of you, has changed me forever." -- Patricia, CA, USA
