Letter from the Editor: Miracles and the Joy of Being Human
The spiritual path never goes as expected. At one moment I think I am “there” and in the next I make myself promise never to say that I am “there” again. Something happens which I can’t explain and I punch the air and say “yes that’s proof ” and one...

Consciousness and Earth Energy by Cilla Conway
I first encountered earth energy communication years ago, walking on Box Hill. It’s a wonderful place – the land just falls away down to the plains below. The big sky with rolling clouds absorbs your full awareness. There was a little breeze, I remember, and I said something out loud...

Shame by Dr Joseph Burgo (Extract)

Letter from the Editor: 21st Century Hero’s Journey
I live in the city. However, I long for the countryside. I love being on the grass, amongst the trees and in places where the sky is big. Then it’ll start to get dark, and I pine for the security of the city where a solitary toad laboriously crossing the...
