When the student is ready...


The thing that never ceases to amaze me with the internet, has to be the wondrous information that is available to all those who seek.

This morning I was led to some secret teachings, that were once only available to those who made long journeys from one side of their world to another. Once upon a time, I would have been packing my bags and heading out the door to sit at a sages knee for years, trying to work out the right questions to ask in order to learn the knowledge. Yet this morning, all I had to do was to wander from my bedroom to my computer and turn it on. It really makes me appreciate the world we live in today.

I read the writings of Florence Scovel Shinn regularly, as she has written some of the most profound truth that I have ever come across. Not only that, but if you apply it in your life, which I have, then you will start to see your life change in so many ways; health, wealth, happiness, love, you name it - if you want to achieve it - go read what Florence says about it. Anyway, today when I was reading Florence's book, I came across a reference to a secret teaching. And seeing how I had read this part of the book time and time again, and had never noticed it before, it was like a secret passage inside the book had opened up and was revealed to me. Weird, even for me who is really used to some very weird things happening in our neck of the woods.

So I quickly trotted into the office, and asked my friend Google if he had ever heard of the reference, and not only had he heard of it, but he gave me a free PDF copy (oh my goodness), legitimate, I might add here, to download. I love you Google.

So today, instead of finding a camel driver to take me to the outer limits of Egypt, and then getting all hot and sweaty and sandy and gritty, on the way to the master teacher, I'll turn on my air conditioner, make a cappuccino on my new Nespresso coffe maker, and read all about the secrets of the universe. I wonder if anyone really appreciates, what we have at our fingertips, in our offices.

Hmmm, camel ride, I've always wanted to ride on a camel... then again they're just down the road... maybe tomorrow.

How a simple change can make such a difference.

I started this blog so many years ago, and over the years it was a lovely way of keeping a diary. Then, I was playing around with the s...
