  • Are children ever illegitimate?
    We like to brand children as being illegitimate. Why do we not rather brand the people who have such views as cruel and insensitive? The children are all legitimate creatures of God, regardless of what their parents or the people around them think.
  • Do I look fat in this?
    Our bodies are a reflection of our spirits. We look at our bodies and think that is what we are. because we do not understand that our bodies are merely a vehicle for us to use in this existence. We are not our bodies, but we need to look after our bodies as long as we are in this existence.
  • Eating the forbidden fruit
    There is a reason why we should not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Once we have done so, we have to take full responsibility for ourselves and all our thoughts and actions, and there is no going back.
  • Expectations and disappointment
    We create our expectations and disappointments because we are aware of the balance in the Universe. Our subconscious turns into thoughts and then into actions. We attach emotional values to our actions. We can change these emotions if we are aware of the creative process.
  • He looks just like his father
    When a child is born, we acknowledge that the child is a combination of the parents - the best and the worst of both parents. We choose to forget this when our children grow older and display behaviour that reminds us of our dark side. We then often blame the child rather than deal with our own traits or fears.
  • I am 50 years young
    Turning 50 is not the end of life, but rather a channeling of spiritual energy into unexpected directions so that we can enjoy our purpose in life.
  • I believe in angels ' and fairies and mermaids
    We find it easy to believe in material things for which we have not seen any evidence. However, we easily reject spiritual issues for which there is much evidence, on the basis that we have not experienced it ourselves. We need to understand that the dimension we live in is not the only one. We have access to other dimensions and we like to discard this as fantasy rather than acknowledge it as another reality.
  • If only . . . if only . . .
    We like to define ourselves in terms of our misery rather than our opportunities. This article describes why it is necessary to first get rid of our baggage and explain how to do this.
  • Is Suicide a Sin or an Act of Bravery?
    It is not for us to judge people that contemplate or commit suicide. it is for us to understand how desperately alone they are, and to love them unconditionally, no matter what they do.
  • It is time to experience the end of the world
    Time is a man-made concept that we manipulate without even being aware of it. We will become more aware of is as the crucial date of 21 December 2012 on the Mayan calendar approaches.
  • Let me tell you a story
    Stories from many different sources have enriched our lives since before the beginning of time. Stories teach us moral lessons in a playful way and they are part of our spiritual heritage.
  • Love and Marriage
    Many people mistake marriage for love, or insist on a wedding ceremony as the only means of expressing their love. Love is not about ceremonies. Love is about what is in our hearts.
  • Muslims may own dogs
    When you are confronted with a belief from any religion, you can choose to apply your God-given mind and search for the truth, or you can swallow what is fed to you and increase your fear. This includes any misconceptions about a ban on Muslims owning dogs.
  • Once when I was big
    As children we are encouraged to access our imagination, but as adults we are encouraged to deal with reality. Does that mean that as adults we turn our backs on reality and in fact deal with an illusion? Should we dream so that we can create our own reality?
  • Shedding a new skin and dealing with changes
    Our bodies show physical responses that indicates the state of our spirit. We can fight these physical responses or we can accept them as guidelines for spiritual growth and enrich our lives.
  • The gift of wisdom from the elderly
    Should we respect people for what they have achieved in their lives, or for who they are, or for their age? How about all of the above?
  • The sky is the limit
    The Universe provides waves that contain everything we could possibly want. We can turn those waves into particles and allow all our wishes to materialise.
  • This is just not happening to me
    When we experience a sudden shock, our minds and bodies deal with as much as they can and file the rest of the experience away until we are ready for it. This results in irrational behaviour at the time of the shock and a degree of depression later on. All experiencs contribute to our spiritual growth.
  • Unhappy Families are a Blessing
    When we are part of an unhappy family we like to complain about what they do to us. We should in fact thank them and love them for the lessons they teach us about ourselves.
  • What is reincarnation?
    Explanation of reincarnation and our one-ness with God. Why do we have to return for more than one life?
  • When staying in a hotel, wear pyjamas
    Fear is something we build up in our own minds, and we can also break down that fear. And when you stay in a hotel, wear pyjamas!
  • Xenophobia, or hate your neighbour like yourself
    People share experiences with us for a reason, a season or a lifetime. They are our neighbours even if they represent our dark sides. Where we hate or reject any of them, we reject a part of ourselves that will not go away.
