What I do know. Life is about living to the full and experiencing the mad, the funny, the dark, the weird, the magic, the bad and love of every day. That no matter what each day throws at you it gives you another experience, and opportunity for you to grow and learn. Learn something that you never knew about yourself.

Look at yourself, really look, can you honestly say that you are living you life to the full. Living your life like it is your last day with exuberance and abundance?

To have a vegetable garden – where I can grow vegetables to serve to anyone who wishes to stay at the sanctuary.

Flower garden – to see the beautiful array of colour each morning when you look out on the sanctuay all year round, given each person a sense of abundance when taking in the surrounding.

 A pond - where you can sit quietly, listen and connect with the spirits of the lake, see the habitants of the pond life as they go about their day to day business.

 A labyrinth – where each person can take a spiritul journey into the centre of themselves and discover the beauty inside.

A cremoninal area - where each person can release through cermony things that they want to shed and leave behind to enable them to move foreward.

A woodlands  – a place to walk and reconnect with the spirit of nature and respect that every living thing has a worth.

A Tepe – a private place where life can be contemplated either in a group or on your own.

A meditation room – Silence where everything is possible, to go within to the self, to the source.

How do you raise enough money? At the moment I am just taking one step at a time and seeing where it gets me. Since the beinging of this year I have raised £500 through subscription and small donations.

Currently I am working on this project on my own but I need to increase my activities. So any ideas of how to raise the money, information about land for sale, anything that would get this project off the ground, please let me know.

I will be doing a blog about how this project is coming on so that you can see exactly how I am doing.  If you have made a donation then you can see where the money is going and how much donation I have built up over the months.

My first goal is to reach £100,000.

Come with me on my journey to create the dream!

Choose to walk in the light

P.S. My intentions has already been sent to the universe.

What Am I Seeing?

I look around my room, and each item seems to be many, layered, like an onion and quivering with energy. Each piece is telling me how it feels, how it remembers where it came from, what has happened to it, how it suffered in the process of becoming from what it was, to what it is now, and I feel guilty that all this suffering was done on my behalf.

I feel my book case is still missing the tree from which it was separated and it is struggling to contain the weight of books and files with which it is loaded and though it understands how useful it is to me, it feels proud also to be using its strength, not to lets its origin down. I thank the bookcase.

I look at the brass fire canopy and feel how it was wrenched for the earth, torched by fire and beaten to produce something of beauty for me, and I feel guilty for the process, but I know that it also feels the energy of my love for it and the core which has been used for it in the past, and I hope it feels a little better.

I feel the energy of the sheepskin fleece on which I am sitting and I am connected with the sheep and all its relations, and I feel the years of living in the species, and the dedication of its life to use of mankind – and I feel grateful to it and to all animals for the help and comfort and survival we have had for so long, I hope my energy is feeing back into all animals, and helping them a little also.

I see people everywhere, and I am seeing the outside they present to the world, and the clothes they choose to wear, and how they need to belong, and I am seeing how alone they really are, how they walk the tightrope of independence and dependency. How they close their eyes to a tomorrow of fear and pain and how they use love as a shield and a barrier against their fears. But love cannot be used in this way, t can only be given as a gift, with no thought o wish for return, for love cannot be contained or given as contract – it must be set free to go its own way, and my not return to you – for it was not created to be returned, as a payment for loving, it was created as a gift to be given to all, even the most unworthy in your eyes, for inside each recipient is a gap in the soul, a gap where courage and fear dwell inside, and which is crying out for a touch of love, to reassure that there will be enough courage in the face of adversity.

I see the souls of people who have failed in their own eyes, and I see the shame they feel when they have given into a temptation they knew they should have resisted.

I feel the longing for love and forgiveness in spite of their sins, and how rarely it is received, as we judge each other so harshly, going by appearances and reputation, and fuelled sometimes by jealousy, envy, and self righteousness, usually underserved!

I see the results of bad actions, the motivations which cause the actions, and I now that those actions stared in unfaithfulness and in being unloved, (by others and by self), and I know that happy people do good things, for themselves and for others.

I am seeing a world without a protective skin, and the seething energy beneath is completely inter-related, so that all is one and so we must learn to share.

 What does it mean? 

• Being aware of your present. Paying attention to your life as it unfolds in the moment. Being conscious of what’s going on around you and inside you while you go through your day.

• Realizing that life only happens in the present. Your past has no bearing on this moment and what you do in the moment can affect you future You cannot live in the past or in the future. There is only NOW.

• Pay attention to your thoughts you will notice that they always drag you to a past memory or expectation about the future. Don’t be fooled the past is the past and who knows what the future holds. It is now that matters.

• Live your life moment by moment. Stay focused on the task at hand, your tasks should keep you focused on the present so there is no time to look to the past or the future.

• Stop living in the past you cannot change what has happened it stops you from being in the moment.

• When you spend time imagining what you want to do in the future or spend your time dreaming about your life 5 years, 10 years from now. You are stopping yourself from living right now.

• Pay attention to what is around you, open your eyes, have you seen the beauty in this world. Only in the moment you can see with clarity.

• Being in the moment you are the creator of your life. You can directing your life because you are no longer absent.  

• Being more present and conscious in your life means doing things with better quality and with greater enthusiasm. Decisions and problem solving is insightful, the answers come quickly to you, with speed and clarity.

To See or Not To See

So what do you see? What do you see when you look out of the window at the world around you? What do you see when you take a walk down your local street or neighbourhood?

I wonder, do you see the joy, the love, the bright fresh colours, the magic of creation of mother earth. People bustling, happy and peacefully focused on the things they want to do today. Light souls learning and experiencing, absorbing all there is to absorb.

Or do you see a mass of stressed out, frustrated, angry and rushed people moving about erratically, minding their own business; closed to the fact that they are connected to all that they see, hear and feel.

When if rains do you see a grey sky, coldness in the air, the sound of water falling heavily on the ground? Do you feel a sense of regret and loss for the previous day’s sunshine, or do you see the freshness of the green plants and the trees as they become bathed in this cooling, nourishing life giving liquid? Do you feel cleansed, blessed when the raindrops settle on you? Do you taste the wetness of rain on your skin and smell the air awash with cleanness?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could choose to hear, feel and see only the beauty and the love that is in and surrounds each and everyone of us all the time?

Well you can!

You just have to choose to do so, by making an intention to look for good and love in all you see, feel and hear you will find it and this will in turn attract more happiness to you.

 A spiritual practice or spiritual discipline (often including spiritual exercises) which is the regular or full-time performance of actions and activities undertaken for the purpose of cultivating spiritual development. That is commonly known as walking a spiritual path of truth.  

 What is your spiritual path? A spiritual path is not a thing, it is something that takes you from where you are to where you want to be. It is an ongoing process that through practice and perseverance, discipline and commitment, we become more and more able to connect with whatever we have defined as that spiritual goal in our life. To truly set out on that path we must make that definition, we must know where we want that path to take us. Our journey is validated by the people we meet on the way and our own experiences to keep us focused and firmly on our paths. The true spiritual path, ultimately, is yours and yours alone. It is a path to the inner self. Yours will be different to mine, and how you choose to walk that path in your life will be based on what practice is right for you. But the most important thing to do is define your path, choose your vehicle and then; Practice! Practice! Practice!

Spiritual Practice

I have found 10 Master Paths for spiritual practices

The Path of Ceremony and Ritual – to include Rites of Passage, healing ceremonies, opening sacred space, native American Sundance, offerings ceremonies, purification ceremonies, sweat lodges, vision quests.

The Path of Sacred Movement – to include various yoga practices, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, walking meditations, and dance.

The Path of Sacred Sound and Music – to include chants, choirs chimes, bells, drums, clapping of hands, droning undertones, orchestras, Shamanic power songs.

The Path of Prayer – Is communicating with God from a place within your heart that is true and sincere, in words said out loud or in deep sincere thought. This could be through talking about your feelings, it could be reciting the scriptures, a mantra.

The Path of Meditation – is about quieten the mind to over come the tendency for the mind to constantly chatter, worry, project, fear and manufacture random thoughts. To still the mind, enable you to go within to the self which will lead us fully into the present moment.

The Path of Sacred Study – to immerse oneself into sacred text, this could be with a class, a mentor, or other people involved in similar studies.

The Path of Devotion – to devote your time and love to one deity, to go to one place of worship instead of many, to read one book of holy verses instead of many.

The Path of Sacred Service – this involves open hearted actions, it is about caring and working with others unconditionally, with no expectation of reward or compensation.

The Path of the Guru – to follow a master spiritual teacher who gifts include ancient knowledge, wisdom, a mystic and seer who has the capacity to impart these same things though his teachings.

The Path of Ascetic – embarking on extreme pursuits that include abstinence, depravation and suffering to bring about a radical shift in consciousness.

 If you know of any other path that I haven’t included here I would like to hear from you.

Overnight Mount Etna volcano on Sicily, in southern Italy, erupted again at the weekend, sending flames into the air and molten lava flowing down its slopes.

The nearby Catania airport had to be closed for a few hours as a precautionary measure but the winds were blowing the ash away from the airport eastwards towards the Ionian Sea so there was minimal disruption from the ash clouds.

It has been just over a year since I set up the website and I am pleased to say that I have over 200 subscribers.

I have been doing some market research and have changed the website from The Earth’s Army to The Earth’s Alliance. I have found that many people don’t feel comfortable with the word ‘army’ as it is associated with acts of war and destruction, which wasn’t my intent. So I have change Army to Alliance which sits better with many people.

Just recently I have been urged by my guides to be more active in marketing my website so as of now I will be doing a lot more work on the website and I will also be keeping my subscribers informed about what I am doing and what is happening on a more regular basis, starting with this newsletter.

I am also hoping that you will give me some feedback on the website as there is always room for improvement. If there is anything that you would like to see or would like me to include please let me know.

You can email me on info@theearthsalliance.com
