World AIDS Day: Chatting with the Spirits

I am a Long Term AIDS Survivor and these are my thoughts at World AIDS Day 2025, 30 years after my Accelerated Individual Discovery of Self: Sooner or later the people of the world will wake up to the fact that spirit is what we are, not matter.

Nature Connection: Remembering Wholeness

I attended the book launch of Adrian Harris’s Nature Connection: Remembering Wholeness. It was inspirational, I was truly buzzing on the energy, even through an online event.

On Britain Today

In the 1960s when the Labour government was in power the country had an air of modernizing newness going on, there was hope and excitement for the future… It was the same in the late 90s/early 2000s after eighteen dark, depressing Tory years. But this time round, after 14 even darker Tory years, there hasContinue reading “On Britain Today”

He-Males, She-Males, He-Shes and They/Thems

The Long War on Trans and Gay People
