In 8/36 I described how planning my suicide at the age of 13 had been interrupted by an orange glowing light suddenly shining out through everything around me, my hands included. This experience had convinced me there was something worth living for, but that such beauty as this must be screened out most of the…
Here is the thirteenth account in my series of experiences that do not fit with the spacetime model of materialistic science. Thirteen is NOT unlucky! It is sometimes called ‘the angel number’, signifying a time of change and spiritual growth empowered by relatedness. This account tells two stories of the power of remotely spoken words. It is a prelude in light to the other accounts that will follow.
A podcast and links to get deeper into the background theory explaining why the Emotional Logic method is so effective to prevent illness and socially disruptive behaviour, and to promote recovery from traumatisation – and boredom!
After two thousand years of theological debate, the work and dynamism of Holy Spirit in people’s lives remains enigmatic, as I suppose spiritual issues always should be. But let us celebrate one step forward in understanding and imagining. It comes from a study of languages at a time when gender equality-with-diversity is growing in importance around the world. Holy Spirit is the feminine principle in the One living Godhead.
Now that Materialism has melted its lumps and particles into a quantum gravity spinfoam of curling strings, we human beings can breathe a sigh of relief and feel secure with each other again. No longer must we obey old-style scientists who tell us, in their lab-coated priestly garments, that we are only randomly moving aggregates of molecules moving with momentum.

My story about qualities of consciousness alerts us to a level of wholeness and life that purely informational intelligence cannot reach, even though machines win chess tournaments and guide explosives out of the skies to rain down on cities. It is called Universal Love… but, you know, it’s Tough Love.
A friend and colleague recently typed this question into Grammarly AI supported search engine, and out came this explanation: “Emotional Logic is a way of understanding how our emotions influence our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. It suggests that emotions are not just irrational impulses, but rather have a logic of their own that can be…
“The only way to God is through Jesus!” seriously is a misapprehension. And I say that as a devoted follower in the way of Jesus from Nazareth. This misquote puts off millions of well-intentioned people from discovering the depth way of life that he was teaching. It is taken out of context from a long…
Prince William and Kate have delightfully announced that they are going to use an ‘emotion coaching’ style of upbringing for their children. They are picking up on John Gottman’s description of mutual responsiveness, which he contrasts with three other relational attitudes towards emotional expression – disapproving, dismissing, or laissez-faire. Brilliant. I hope the royals will…
Greed is a form of Denial that in the inner heart there is grief unresolved.

But only purifying the…
