Positive Solitude- 14th of June 2026.

High above us, in the mantle of cloud, there is a membrane, a canopy of celestial beings who are protective to the world beneath. They act as guardians of scrutiny challenging the spiritual passport of those both coming and going – all in sweet silence, yet with firm choice – empowered to block or detain, with a mother-of-pearl radiance and light of the faraway suns they blister the globe.

Equally these beings of protection and equanimity composite membranes individually within the human body. Gatekeepers of protection beyond count, angelic and decisive, we are coddled by their discernment and health is maintained throughout.

Our form and function relies on such wisdom – our beings cooperate with those of the Air, of the colours, of the humidities, of the tumble of gravity, we are in constant negotiation with the foods ingested and expelled, dispelled, as well as the vitality of all.

It is indeed a complex of living entities whose active grace maintains the thrift of portent.

And our prayers, our petitions, our good wishes, sweep through the celestial communities with perfect grace.

Even as though a royal child the voice that calls is loved and nurtured… and the unity becomes a stronger knit throughout – and for those who pray, they can feel the calming of the beings within and without.

They may sense the holy servitude and the possibility coming to them because, and most ultimately, their own voice, in quiet consciousness and determination is so honoured by the incorruptible who gather with a willingness in love.

Daily we negotiate and transact with such working beings who are too many to see, yet they know us.

And yes, also there is our companion angel ever beside us who has humour and diligence and the fondness for us of a loving parent.

And, to be unaware of the beings around us affords a peace of sorts. The world can give us a positive solitude which encourages a sense of our own selves; that we may practice gatekeeping also: to thoughts, in our willing, our deciding, our choosing and ultimately our actions as well.

The Human spirit, although unemboldened, contains the forces of Nature and the strength of the gods - and by seeking to find the clarity of such, they are, in crowded solitude, thus finding themselves.

Bleaching- 7th June 2026

Maurice Lalau

Faraway into the land of the indistinct, the realm of sleep mumbles its incantations, drowsy and incoherent - rudderless, we step into these waters nightly with careless enterprise. One could say it is an act of total faith to give way to the intoxicating slumber ahead of us nightly.

For some, there are frightening aberrations, who with a speeding heart and moribund dread, the ghouls encircle the worries that beg to be heard. And the mind although fatigued is unwilling to surrender its taut repetitions.

Similar to a rebellious shaking dog, stubborn to the leash, obstinate to move forward, the insomniac shall not surrender their worldly consciousness with the peacefulness that is generally required.

The previous day calls to them to be seen and heard in ways that they have missed or ignored. How can one move forward and through the gates of sleep leaving behind the treasures so gathered?

This is one of the reasons that the nightly practice of recall: reviewing the day is so thoroughly practical. Every day spent within the physical world is so prized from the spiritual perspective, it is important to receive and reflect and acknowledge the gifts of the day just passed.

Our friends who are not embodied comprehend life - physical life - very differently. The trials of concern although apparent, are not the features of the extravaganza that daily waking presents.

After death when the soul reviews their life it is experienced then, as our spiritual fellows experience it with us now.

In many ways their watching on and becoming witness to our lives helps our own self build a catalogue - an album of sorts, for further insights.

We (all of us) can miss so much when it comes to the experiences of self and the physical world. Every interaction, thought and colour, intention and then kindness, revelation, sanctification, enables both the world and ourselves - doing our part in the formation of the future world to come … for those to come closer, that eventually the incandescent shall materialise and the material world shall draw into its arms and heart the godly enterprise.

Prayer shall best take thee into sleep - the holy thoughts of the divine are best our pillow to nest our worries upon.

May the grace of peace infill the unquiet both day and both night as one gives over to the other.

Up on the Bridge- May 26th, 2026

Phillip Otto Runge

The caul at the water’s edge is more or less alike to a bridge for the soul who is placed upon and waiting, just before their leap into life.

Worldly incarnation sports spurious arrangements … “meet me at the bridge” one soul makes promise to another looking out at the vista of consequence and habitat.

The life which is yet to be can only perceive key glimpses of the prelude - the details which fill the ledger become exquisitely timed - nuanced and satisfied - the gentle moments within the perpetual calendar.

Life lives and expands within these subtle spaces.

The holy breath seeks a quiet appreciation: the pause, bespoke to the moments before and after.

And what of consciousness? Is it a tedium or donkey-wise to the mundane? Or, collectively skilled with a magnetic pull to ideas that are grand and large, cosmically, economically, and delicately profound? A loadstone of complexity, with an eager soul who delights with each uprising of curiosity, and although fathoms but a fraction, sits upon a bridge that is knowing.

The Trials of Mary- 15th May 2026

John Roddam Spencer Stanhope

The feminine ingenue is no mere role or archetype. There has been a considerable targeted intentional effort to degrade and denounce the spiritual feminine - assaults, contortions, denigrations of this principle are neither tedious or whimsical … nor benign - but sinister in ways unimaginable.

The ‘mother’ principle underlies all of Creation both literally and spiritually. The force that is motherhood is at the very apex of all that is good and great and redeeming within our very souls.

This force majeure extends beyond Humanity to the caretakers within the elemental fields, the beloved species throughout, the plant kingdom with the sophisticate conduct of the trees, and even to the consciousness of crystalline rocks: the mothering principle works as a pulse, and, a holy spirit driving forth sacrificing self, beneficently, caring for the lesser, the young, the needy, the infirm, making way for new life, making strong.

The mothering principle works through both men and women - yet is replete in pure form in the feminine.

Not by subjugation and never by slavery - only through willingness, kindness, community - giving with a whole heart, with a gentle strength that rests in God.

When the Devil himself derides the feminine and speaks the jargon of stereotypes, he asks you to betray your own soul - for it is the most feminine of all.

The true glamour is in the goodness, the loveliness is reflective of the sweet spirit within. It is to no wonder that the Devil despises the feminine!
