A Cosmic Realization of the Purpose of Life – in One Word
At the age of 14, I woke up one morning with a question – what is the purpose of life? At the age of 18, that question was answered through yoga philosophy and especially the teachings of Dr George King and The Aetherius Society: to go back to God through spiritual practice with its main…
Oppenheimer’s Response to a Prompt from Aliens
One fascinating aspect of Oppenheimer’s life, omitted from the blockbuster movie, is his response to a prompt from alien representatives from higher planes of other planets in our solar system. On June 10, 1954, The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper, printed an article under the heading ‘Atom particle find excites U.S. physicists’ about a particle…
How to Help Bring Global Peace and Healing with Strategic Prayer

From Orthodoxy to Mysticism – My Christian Journey
Almost 40 years ago, in 1984, I was an orthodox Christian. I regularly attended St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, London, known to many people around the world as “the parish church of England”. I also gave of my services to the Scrub Club, a motley crew of pensioners plus a few lost souls who…
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
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…
A tale of two worlds
Planet Earth is irrevocably moving towards a great change, the long prophesied New Age. This change is going to affect all life on Earth – certainly on this physical plane – and humanity as a whole has a choice: 1) We either make the necessary changes to our lifestyle and embrace spirituality which will…
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…
The Aetherius Society – A Spiritual Brotherhood
An important aspect of many churches and spiritual organizations is a sense of community. We all naturally like to feel that we are supported, and part of something greater than ourselves. The Aetherius Society, founded by Master of Yoga Dr. George King is no different. In fact, it is part of our aims and objectives…
Overcoming the cold of aloneness
Recently it has been in the news that there is a loneliness epidemic in the world. It’s easy to understand how this could be the case. In the last couple of years many people have been isolated, unable to see friends and family and even work colleagues. But loneliness obviously isn’t a new emotion. All…
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…
One in Three and Three in THAT
Three In a cosmic transmission delivered through the mediumship of Dr. George King on March 17th, 1956, the Master Jesus prayed for humanity to be: One in Three and Three in THAT. This concept is referenced in the triangular symbol of God’s manifestation as wisdom, which was incorporated in The Aetherius Society symbol following 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…
A Reorientation of Thought
However we choose to view the current state of our world and all of the tremendous obstacles that we face, one thing starts to become increasingly clear and that is the pressing need for a complete reorientation of thought as to how we are living upon this planet if we are to survive. The old…
A Tale of Two Operation Sunbeams
The 1960s could be said to contain demonstrations of both some of the best aspects of our history and some of the worst aspects of our history. Starting with one of the worst, in 1962, for example, something terrible happened. In the Nevada desert in the United States, a series of four nuclear tests took…
Interplanetary Service
Recently, there has been a lot of media coverage regarding UFOs. Questions have been raised to governments about what they know, and, just as importantly, whether this means beings from other worlds are visiting us. The founder of The Aetherius Society, Dr. George King, taught that beings from other worlds have been visiting us for…
The Adepts and Animals
On May 17th, 1959, the Master Aetherius, a Cosmic Master, spoke through the yogic mediumship of Dr. George King to the attendees of a special Power Circle at Aetherius House in London.

The Royal Extraterrestrial Connection
With the passing of Prince Philip this month, many tributes have been made to his life of duty to the British crown. But there haven’t been many stories about his lesser-known interest in UFOs and aliens. One such story was first reported in 1997 in an article written by international bestselling author of UFOs and…
Three Knights in the Afterlife
Dr. George King was an extraordinary medium who channelled many unique communicators. What made him extraordinary was that he was able to receive messages of a high spiritual calibre with almost unwavering accuracy. This was the result of the trance state he used; a trance state of meditation known as samadhi. This trance state was…
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…
Asteroid Approaching Earth – The Remains Of A Planet Destroyed By The Human Race?
This Sunday, March 21st, a 3,000-ft wide asteroid will pass near to Earth. The asteroid is considered “potentially hazardous” by NASA, but all asteroids that come within 4.6 million miles of Earth are classed this way. The closest scientists believe it will get to Earth is still more than five times as far away as…

Right now, the energies are…
Be Not Limited and a Time of Endurance
The Ultimate Hero’s Journey Sixty years ago, on August 28th 1960, the great cosmic orators Mars Sector 6 and the Master Aetherius delivered an outstanding Transmission entitled ‘Be Not Limited.’ It is as relevant to our world today as it was then with our global society, economy, and the natural environment all under unprecedented…
Spiritual Determination
“Life is difficult but not impossible. I don’t think that any man is given a problem to solve unless it is known that he can solve that problem providing he uses courage and determination and has faith in his own abilities, his higher abilities and probably, sometimes even, in the abilities of others. I don’t…
