Why does it often feel as though our lives are a series of ‘close encounters of the hard kind’? There are countless examples of this pain-filled journey from ‘Grief to Grace’ captured in the annals of our human family. Please allow me to draw upon one particular personal experience, by way of illustration, that touched my heart. Several years ago, a local family lost their infant son and were plunged into a period of inconsolable grief and unbearable pain. Two years after the

The presence of water is essential for the appearance of life on Earth. It is the virtuous combination of warmth and moisture in the soil and the surrounding atmosphere that creates optimal conditions in which seeds containing the imprinted promise of things to come, may successfully germinate, quicken and flourish. Water is a familiar element with which we all have an intimate relationship. Our earthly bodies comprise between 50-70% water and the surface of planet Earth is 7

Each of us has, undoubtedly, experienced the healing power of the body after suffering a cut, catching a cold or spraining a limb. I invite us to expand our perception and consider that these same self-healing properties are present in all living systems housed within the great scalar continuum of Creation. What if the whole of Life is a meta-ecosystem comprising an infinite series of nested and interpenetrating spheres that are inherently regenerative, self-organizing and se

Hope is the joyful reassurance of a pre-existing certainty that simply requires us to create the right conditions for this eternal promise to be revealed and manifested. For instance, the Fire of Love that lives inside the human heart, like the light of the Sun, can be temporarily obscured by clouds of doubt and despondency. Hope is a golden guarantee that the Light of Life will, in the end, always break through the psychological overcast of conflict and hatred to enlighten o

At a fundamental level, politics can be described as the way we choose to live together and govern ourselves. Looking at the world today, we perceive various forms of governance in play – ranging on a scale between open and participative democracy to downright dictatorship. Each nation finds itself somewhere on that continuum. What if we were to also examine the ‘political state’ of our own lives through a process of deep reflection and introspection. The question naturally a

“Are we there yet?” That familiar universal refrain from our childhood, uttered while enduring those lengthy and tiring road trips, is still being echoed by many of us today who, as weary pilgrims, wonder just how much longer there is to go and how many more challenges there are to face until we arrive home safely. It often feels as though we are on a never-ending journey passing from one tough test to another, one relational challenge to another and from one heart-ache to

By nature our Soul is loving, generous and seeks to serve life in every way possible. During our earthly sojourn, the personality — while acting as the Soul’s incarnated agent — often experiences periods of isolation and insecurity and finds itself focused primarily on the needs of the self, so it tends to think and act in a more ‘selfish’ way. However, in the long run, the health of any system is compromised if its component parts continue to act in a self-centered, separati

We are living in tumultuous times as one era ends and a new one seeks to emerge. We are experiencing a particular period of transition in the cosmic calendar as the Piscean Age gives way to the Aquarian Age and when, according to the Vedic teachings, the dark era of Kali Yuga finally finishes to usher in the golden cycle of Satya Yuga. The Agni Yoga teaching describes the passage between these two cycles: “Falsehood and darkness fill the end of Kali Yuga. One must realize thi

These are not the easiest of times in which to be alive as we observe our ‘better angels’ and ‘demons’ engaged in a tense and drawn-out struggle for dominance – both striving to gain the upper hand and assume governance of our lives. Our current civilization does not always bear the hallmarks of a civilized society. Are we witnessing the tell-tale signs of a society in decline with an apparent erosion of ethical principles and moral standards, the relentless persecution of o

We are living in times of extreme polarization and growing tension on the planet. There is a deepening divide in the world of politics, an emerging animosity between different cultures and religious beliefs that sporadically erupts as war and acts of aggression between nations, and we are witnessing a proliferation of extreme weather incidents that appear to mirror the present troubled psychological climate. Seen from this perspective, polarization and tension can easily be p
