With my life's work I have endeavoured to prune away the esoteric mumbo jumbo and religious baggage. I have focused on understanding the energy body, what it is and how it works, and to make everything work better.

But, a funny thing happened on my way to the Now...

I see deceased people (spirits) all the time, including dogs, so I assume there is some kind of afterlife for everyone. My best guess here is that most people spend some time (variable) in the real time zone before moving to one of the spirit worlds (heavens). There, they process and come to terms with their recent past life.

I was instructed to dismantle my belief system, and then to intelligently rebuild it from scratch. I was told to be disciplined in my approach and to use personal experience, logic and commonsense to build a new foundation belief system, upon which to continue my quest for true enlightenment.

Many popular beliefs concerning the nature of Karma, spiritual reality, good and evil, stem from seeds planted by early channeled information and books on the same, from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These have a perpetual influence upon contemporary New Age spiritualist thought. The works of Allan Kardec, "The Spirits Book", and, "The Mediums Book" (1898) reputed channeled by spirits of high degree, are prime examples.

Reincarnation is in my opinion an overly simplified concept, designed to be easily understood and accepted by the general population. But the theory of reincarnation falls down sharply when closely examined.

There are an enormous variety of spirits: with good and bad and all the range between. Humans have associated with many of these, knowingly and unknowingly, since the dawn of humankind. This is reflected in language to a certain extent. Many old sayings and cliches indicate knowledge of spirit/human interactions.

When persons are nearing death, their auras change dramatically. As a mystic and healer with many years experience, I have probably had more opportunities than most to observe the auras of people with terminal illnesses, in the weeks, days, hours and minutes prior to their death.

Do unto others as you would be done by (treat others as you would like to be treated yourself) are probably the wisest words ever said. They have been said many times by many masters, in many languages...
