Hello friends,
Shock horror! Two blogs in one day. It must be a Spring thing! I just wanted to share a few things I've been meaning to post for a while. I'm delighted to say Stuart Wilde is back and blogging again. I've really missed him, actually as I really enjoy his loving and quirky teachings. I think it's because I like the way he challenges me and my thinking. I ask myself what is really going on and find the most unexpected answers. Few people in the world can really have that wonderful marmite effect on others. I can't say I agree with everything he says and sometimes I do think him a little crazy, but I can't help but simply love him dearly and his way of getting to the root of it all. I love the way that sometimes his words do ruffle my feathers a bit, and it's not all that gooey new age thinking that can be a bit too 'fluffy' even for someone as fluffy as me, and that's why I like him - sometimes a bit of ruffling unsticks those awkward blocks that we pretend we don't have. He talks a lot of the Warrior Sage, which I really find inspiring feeling such a Bambi sometimes. I guess one day Bambi grows up to be a Stag and we all have that potential. I am starting to feel my inner stag and Bambi together... although that kind of sounds funny now I just wrote that haha.
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say if you are a person that is seriously on 'the path' all the light fluffy positive thinking new age is great, but it also needs discipline, honesty and really working on the core of who we are. That means not just focussing on our lovely bits, but acknowledging our shaddow and slaying our own demons. They don't go away if you just ignore those bits of you, they just get squished and come out in strange ways such as depression and madness. I have found that Buddhism and Meditation have been particulalry helpful in confronting those fearful aspects of myself and facing that fear. It appears to me that it's the fear that is most of the problem and that being a reason most people don't want to dig too deep. I seem to have faced quite a few fears recently and I am still alive to tell the tale.... and stronger with it too ;) I am very light, fluffy and giggly so I have found it quite difficult to really work on these more difficult areas, but I am rewarded with more of an inner sense of peace and a deeper that I thought possible love and respect for my fellow humankind and the Universe around me. My recent dissappearance on MySpace is because I have been working on these issues to further my spiritual growth. With my recent Meditation retreat exploring the divine guidings of loving kindness, joy, compassion and equinimity, I have discovered I have managed to expand these to levels I have not experienced before. I don't think I could have done this without awareness and mindfullness I have learned from doing courses with Alistair along with some of the teachings in Stuart's books. I've been re-reading a lot of my old books and I've found the writing of Stuart Wilde particualry helpful. It's nice to go back and read things again after a few years as it's almost like reading a different book! Plus things that were completely off my chart are starting to make sense from experiences I've had outside his books and in other spiritual experiences.
So I dedicate this blog to Stuart with grattitude and love for his work and funny brain, which seems to add so much to my experience here on earth.
If you want to find outmore about Stuart and his work, he has started a new website:
and a blog:
Also Stuart and Richard recently posted this amazing video of the Gayatri mantra (see below). Oh I love it! I am so thankful that they created this. Funny thing synchronicity, I am always in awe as I have been guided already to this mantra albeit in different form (om bhu, om buvaha, om swaha om maha, om janaha, om tapaha, om satyam, om tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dimahi diyo yonaha prachodayat - which roughly translated means "O self-effulgent Light that has given brth to the luminous planes of consciousness, who is worthy of worship and appears through the spiritual lens of the sun, illumine our intellect") and also the trinity picture near the beginning - I printed out the very same only a few months ago. I was even
searching for video versions yesterday then opened my e-mail to find
this from Stuart's A-List mailings! hehe :) OmLove!
Please enjoy and pass it on to anyone you would think would enjoy it:
Much Love, light, hope and blessings, Jen xxx
