Welcome 

In Ancient Times in Avalon, Elders from the Celtic tribes from all around the region would go to Stonehenge at Winter Solstice.  

They would each bring an ember from their own village hearths and would add this ember to build one great fire.  Each of the Elders then shared the stories from their village from that year, all of them seeking to learn, exchange information, laugh and entertain one another. Gradually, the fire was allowed to burn to down until one single ember remained. 

Of all the stories told, one of these was selected to be brought back home.  The Elders would then light a lantern from that single ember and take this and the new story home to light the fire in the village hearth and share the story with the villagers until the next year.

Although we no longer have this wonderful ritual, we still have a village and it still has a hearth.  Our village is the Global Village and the hearth we gather around is now our media and the internet.

Another thing that will never change is that we all have stories and these need to be shared.  The thought behind it is the same.  Sharing information means we can learn from one another and knowledge is always empowerment:  the power to transform, to grow, to evolve.

The purpose of this website, then, is to invite people to come, from their respective ‘villages’ with their own thoughts, stories, information and ideas, to add it to the fire.  That fire is now the collective consciousness, or The Universal Mind.

The Universal Mind

Why ‘Universal Mind’? This title was give to me, quite simply, via inspired thought, from the place where all of our highest thoughts come from. The place where all creation, energy and life itself comes from.  The Source.  The intention behind The Universal Mind Website is to help to Awaken, Inspire, Balance and Enlighten whoever stops here on their journey back to Oneness.

I love the name as it about a joining of minds, thoughts and energy.  After I had been given this name, I discovered that it is also the name for the Akashic Records, or the place where every soul’s journey is recorded.

The Universal Mind Website will soon be re-launched in the format of a web magazine which will be like no other.  There will be articles and interviews on topics including Reincarnation, Energy, Healing and Conscious Creation. In addition, we will also look at who is trying to close some of the gaps between rich and poor and as well as our relationships with ourselves, one another and our environment.

What’s new with this magazine is that readers will also be able to actively participate as they catch their favourite author or teacher delivering live online talks and workshops, or else download it and watch the broadcast at their leisure.  You will also be able to watch interviews not just from your favourites but from people you’ve never heard of from across the globe.

The Universal Mind represents our collective consciousness, the place from which we are all from and where we can all access knowledge to create our lives according to our highest intentions.  You are invited to come here to share your stories, ideas and participate in bringing forth our shared New Consciousness. 

What you will never find here is a ‘shopping list’ of do’s and don’ts telling you how to be, think do or feel.  You bring your own thoughts, feelings and experiences to anything you find here and you will hopefully take away with you something to empower you to follow the highest path. Everything is already within you.

I invite you to bring with you your own stories and to take away with you.

Namaste
