The most spiritual thing we can do
I think there is a great danger on the spiritual path of underestimating service. Even if we think service is important, even if we think that service is the most important thing we can do, there is still a temptation to think of it as a chore. As the grunt work. As something we have…
How To Escape The Matrix (Podcast)
A lot of people believe that the way to escape the matrix is to become rich. Is that really escaping the matrix? If it isn’t, then – what is? How do you really escape the matrix? In this month’s episode of Aetherius Radio Live, host Mark Bennett, with myself as his guest, tackle this question…
How to escape the matrix
If you would burn up your lower Karmic aspects, you would serve. If you would, at this very moment, begin to build tomorrow’s temple upon the sure foundations of today’s right action, you would serve. If you would be free from the materialistic prison cunningly devised to enslave you, you would serve. If you would…
There’s no excuse for atheism!
Do you think that Jesus is the one and only son of God? Do you believe in eternal hell? I don’t believe these things, but that doesn’t make me an atheist. And if you don’t believe these things, that doesn’t make you an atheist either. In fact, my own Spiritual Teacher, Dr. George King –…
What’s the point in going to Church?
Good question! And, for many, the question is also the answer, in the sense that there is no answer, or at least not a good enough answer to motivate them into actually going. For certain others – it isn’t even a question. Religion plays no part in their lives whatsoever, and the spiritual urge is…
Pride and Priorities – feel good about doing good!
What makes you feel proud of yourself? Before answering this question, let’s look at the following very illuminating statement about pride made by Dr. George King in 1965 in a lecture entitled ‘The Coming Year’: …we should feel doubly honored – all of us – should feel doubly honored, we should feel very, very proud,…
Prayer Energy – how to channel the power of the universe to help bring about peace, freedom and healing in Ukraine
Recent events in Ukraine have many of us in shock – and horror. If ever there were a time to turn to a higher power – surely it is now. In my late twenties I was privileged to co-author the book Prayer Energy (Cico Books 2009; 2019) with international bestselling author Richard Lawrence – a…
We live in God’s Home – so let’s be happy!
The phrase “God’s home” has intrigued me for many years. The only time, to the best of my knowledge, we see it in the Cosmic Teachings is in the Transmission ‘Gotha Speaks To Earth’ given on October 15th, 1966. Here is the phrase in context: Thousands of years ago we traveled the lanes through the…

The Mind of a Planet – A few thoughts
Our Spiritual Master, Dr. George King, in his address entitled ‘If I could choose’, given on May 26th, 1968, made the following outstanding revelation: The Earth herself could state, this morning, before you leave this church, “I’m going to start again. I want a new race of people on my back.” Shake a little bit…
What is extraterrestrial life really like?
If you believe in extraterrestrial life, you have probably gazed up at the stars and wondered: what is it really like? We hear stories about this race or that race that is supposedly visiting Earth – but what is true, and what is simply someone’s vivid imagination? However vivid someone’s imagination may be, it cannot…
My King Yoga Experience – Your King Yoga Experience
A quest begins … When I was growing up I was very interested in spirituality, religion and the meaning of life. I quickly became indifferent to the puzzled looks and concerned mutterings of people around me, including classmates of course, and sometimes even teachers, who couldn’t understand why I cared. In fact, in some cases…
Could I do better if I had been born someone else?
“I must point out that it is easy to make excuses and say, ‘If I had been born so-and-so, I could have done better’, but this is not so, it is the foolish talk of a child. Each and every one of you can, in the quiet of your own room – which is your…

All Change
A couple of years ago I was sitting in a tube-train at Earl’s Court station in London. I was dozing, as I often do on trains, to be awoken abruptly by a loud announcement over the tannoy. The announcement was two simple words: “ALL CHANGE!” As I was waking up, suddenly I felt a strange…
King Yoga Breathing – The Imitation of God
Breathing out and breathing in We breathe automatically – without thinking. It is an action governed by the subconscious. When we perform yoga breathing, we are taking this action from the realms of the subconscious to the conscious. We make ourselves consciously aware that we are breathing, and then control the way we do this….
KING YOGA – the greatest karmic force for your own personal development!
Raising consciousness through spiritual self-development When you read a spiritual book, and allow its wisdom to sink into your consciousness, you change. Your vibration becomes that little bit higher. Your knowledge is that little bit greater – which, if you let it, will permeate your whole thought pattern. You will be that bit better informed…
Jupiter 92 – Worship the God-Spark in the Temple of the Soul
Whether you regard yourself as religious, spiritual, or neither – you can never really know yourself without “going within”. It is going within that is the true journey of the soul – to Reality itself. But what does “going within” really mean?

How balanced is too balanced?
Being balanced is a big theme in the culture of wellbeing, lifestyle and self-help. We know we should be balanced, and that being unbalanced is bad – but what does being balanced actually mean? Normal ideas of balance “Balance” means different things to different people, and we are fed a constant stream of suggested answers…
How detached is too detached?
Stress, worry, expectations and ambitions are part of everyday life, and over time they take their toll – physically, mentally and emotionally. They are not necessarily bad things, but that doesn’t make them any the less wearing on the heart, mind and body. However impractical or improbable it may be, haven’t you ever dreamt…
Service – Oneness – Joy
Does spirituality bring joy into our lives? Should we prioritize our own happiness? Why do some spiritual people seem unhappy, and materialistic people seem happy? What is the relationship between oneness and joy? Why does the spiritual path sometimes seem to cause unhappiness? How can karma bring joy into our lives?
Is kindness enough?
What really is kindness – and is kindness enough to change the world? If you google “kindness” you will see the definition: “friendly, generous, considerate.” When I hear the word “kind,” I picture the smiling face of an honest person – let’s call him Bob – perhaps putting some change into a charity collection box,…

Another great number have…
Spiritual energy sent by extraterrestrial intelligences to help people in North Korea
Our extraterrestrial neighbors – known as “Cosmic Masters” in deference to their advanced level of evolution – have always been very definite in warning of the dangers of nuclear experimentation. This is not just for the sake of peace and stability, but due to implications regarding public health and the environment as well, in ways…
What does being “spiritual” really mean?
I just googled the word “spiritual” and got 145,000,000 results – so clearly a lot of people are talking about it one way or another. What are they saying? What image of a person springs to mind if someone says “that guy is really spiritual”? What kind of lifestyle, priorities and values might such a…
