For the last soon-to-be three years, I have watched in grief and shock at the reprehensible and intentional 'disappearing' of a way of life, in my own country, that I never dreamed would be so easily surrendered. The mouth of one becomes a channel for the voice of another. What is presented turns out to have been but a cloak of deception for what continues ... Continue Reading >>

Owning Your Mind: Louise on ‘The Poetry of Predicament’
I have been deeply disturbed by the degree of censorship I have witnessed in the last 18 months of my life. Never would I have dreamed such a thing would profoundly shape my reality, having long taken freedom of thought and choice to be a 'given' in my homeland. And now, I am no longer sure that its presence will grace the lives of my children and ... Continue Reading >>
This is not a drill.
"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.” (Frank Herbert, 'Dune') I retired in 2015 from the full-time engagement of my life’s work of the previous 25 years. I turned my attention to other things… things that I had too often overlooked or ignored, or ... Continue Reading >>
Peter Diamandis: The Future is Faster Than You Think
I sometimes wonder: Is this (i.e. pandemic) 'the thing' or is it what is being used to distract us from 'the thing' (i.e. biosphere collapse)? Don't really have a clue... and the good news is: it's all pretty compelling! We really are living at a remarkable time in human existence. If all meaning is context dependent (which I believe it is), what is ... Continue Reading >>
Louise and Dean: New Conversation in Chaotic Times
My conversations with Dean Walker of The Poetry of Predicament podcast always open doors to my own as-yet unexpressed thinking. This one proved particularly potent for me. For some time, I have had no interest in speaking, blogging or even journaling. Every thought I have seems to be one that I've had so many times before. As I listened to the podcast ...

New Post – Stela Shakti: Regeneration of Self
"What happens to the essence of my being in that exact moment that I choose habitual living that keeps me stagnated and shuts out my very essence? Where does the “I” that I AM go? In what ways have I become the habit that brings no meaning in my life? Who do I become in moments where living choice-point down reinforces all that I have ever known? Is there ...

Inner Guidance, Lives!
Another compelling and Life-sustaining conversation between Naomi Irons and Dean Spillane-Walker. It gives me hope to know that there will be many more... each dive a little deeper than the last. Before you know it, we will have remembered: we can breathe under water! ... Continue Reading >>
Choosing the Freedom to Choose
Do not speak of climate change. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of a rapidly changing climate? Do not speak of pandemics and vaccines. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of immense and collective pressure to comply without raising question or voice? As I celebrate my 70th birthday, I do so in the full awareness that I have ... Continue Reading >>
Dr. Zach Bush: Our COVID-19 Assumptions are Wrong
Now available with Brian Rose on the London Real platform, this is one of Dr. Zach Bush's best! In my world, all meaning is context dependent. In this extensive conversation, we are encouraged to consider the bigger picture within which this pandemic is unfolding. Yes, it does demand attention as a non-allopathic, non-mainstream and alternative ... Continue Reading >>
