A while back a guy called Tim Galway talked about the inner game of tennis. It’s still a great book and worth a read, you should be able to pick it up on on Amazon for pennies. Basically the inner game is the most overlooked and important game there is. The inner game is the […]

“What do you hope to gain from this meditation course?” It’s one of the first questions I ask people when they come to learn Ascension meditation. I love their faces when I tell them that they will gain nothing, that they will lose everything. I’m not lying – it’s true. You gain nothing from your

Yesterday morning was a tough morning. For no reason except my mind was reacting to the mere fact of being alive. For the little kid in my head it was too tough to simply be out of bed, walking around, making coffee and small talk with the fiancee. A mind tantrum, you might call it.

I was surprised – my little email on marijuana caused a small flurry of indignation from certain quarters. I feel misunderstood. (Poor me. Violins?) My intention was never to tell anyone what to do. Your life is yours to do whatever you want with it. I don’t know what makes you tick. But I do

Someone asked me this the other day. It was a great question, actually. I’ve been doing this for so long that sometimes I forget that it’s become kinda natural part of my life. Meditation should be the simple practice of being aware, present and alive in this precise moment. Without judgement, evaluation, criticism, striving to

I’m writing this to you from Bergen, Norway. It’s a spectacular place – my kind of town. Surrounded by water and by hills, wonderful. It’s a bit spooky though. All the people are spectacularly beautiful. It’s like they did away with the “not quite perfect” folk. Don’t worry, I won’t let them get me. But
