2 minute read

 

I'm on holiday, so I'll keep this short.

I'm waiting for a hard copy of The Life Compass to drop through a letterbox at the other end of the country. I'll give it one more read through and make any last alterations it needs, as it is unlikely there will be any errors left to address.

I'm trusting that the cover will be okay and that the font size will be optimal this time. 

For those of you who have been waiting patiently for a good couple of months since I said I was finished last time, thank you. Thank you for your patience and for your support. It means a great deal.

This is really what The Life Compass is about: how do you connect with your truth and the truth of the world, how do you relate to it and how do you live in a way that your thoughts, feelings, vision, and action align with it.

For those who are interested, The Wayfarers Guild is can still be accessed for a nominal fee.

 

The Life Compass
  It's not just about wanting to live a better life. For some people, it is about wanting to live a life that they love.  For others, it is about doing what is right, or what is necessary.  For others, it may simply be about doing what they want.   This means that for some people, life is about seeking freedom, for others it is about fulfilling potential, and for others it is answering a call t...

4 minute read   Life gets complicated. Not least around politics and economics.    We are all faced with challenges that originate from these places.   A perspective that helped me make more sense of life, especially in terms of political division, came when I began to see capitalism and socialism as being conditions on a spectrum as opposed to being opposing principles.   There are some things...
