Episode 166: Non-racist Reasons To Stop Immigration

Did you know that crime rates in Europe per capita are significantly higher among immigrants than among native Europeans? This is especially true for certain nationalities in particular. The reasons for this can be debated, and should be; but more important is to a) get public attention to realise that it is in fact true, and b) stop the prevailing mass influx of people into the ancestral homelands of the indigenous European people until such time as the security of local women and children can be ensured. Yes, the vast majority of immigrants are good law-abiding people, but when horrific crimes are becoming a daily occurance, it becomes prejudiced to NOT seek to stop or at least pause such immigration, to protect the victims – the traditional folk of Europe. Yet even if reforms were made to ensure no dangerous individuals (or cultures) entered Europe, it would still be true that for justice and kindness to native Europeans – including our ancestors and descendants – immigration must be put on indefinite hold. From economics and providing for locals, not pushing wages down and prices up; to culture and not blending the treasures of diversity into a homogenous soup of sameness; to allowing my native Ireland to heal from aeons of trauma and abuse and to revive her endangered native language, Gaeilge – Europe has no shortage of reasons why we don't need more people knocking on the door to this lovely home. The world should always be welcome to come visit and enjoy a good chat over tea, but when the people of other homelands start to tell you they have a right to permanently be under your roof, it might just be time to remind them who owns the property and who gets to decide who enters. May Ireland and all Europe restore balance by borders, and may we so help uplift the world. By bringing ourselves back into wellness, we can heal and offer humanity our best – unique – gifts.

Episode 165: Believing In A Better Earth

Many people will tell you Earth and humanity are doomed, the future is destined to be terrible. We'll keep spiralling into tyranny, psychosis and ecological collapse – and probably go extinct. Further, some will tell you we shouldn't even try to contend with the evil and ignorance spreading before our eyes; they argue that such negative forces must simply be accepted and understood, as each of us is here to evolve our own consciousness and so we should 'rise above fear and resistance' and 'accept life as it is' and simply allow the darkness to teach us. They believe fighting evil only empowers more evil because it keeps us trapped in a lower state of awareness; in fear and control. But I disagree! I would call this 'spiritual reductionism'. It is reducing our multi-levelled reality to a single oneness, and in so doing would lead us to ignore righteousness, the wisdom of the heart. Yes, the awakening soul must embrace life right now exactly as it is, and ground oneself into an unconditional calm. But why can't we do that and still take action to stop evil and unconsciousness from harming innocents, such as our children? To preserve uplifting culture? To preserve ecosystems? And yes, ultimately all is always well, as we are all eternally One with the infinite invincible untouchable immortal universal consciousness; but on another level of the picture, another scale of zooming, it really does matter if Aragorn or Sauron wins the war. It's objectively better if there's less murder, rape, assault, theft, tresspass, coercion and deception. All souls have the natural right to freedom, to live as they choose so long as not depriving others of the same freedom – such as by the seven crimes listed above. What's right really does deserve our allegiance and assistance to manifest; to help nourishing vegetables compete with the weeds. Our hearts know it matters, and children know, though adults may have forgotten or got too tied up in intellectual knots to perceive the simple truth that evil is not ok and love really must fight. Indeed, it may even be that the universe needs us each as individuals and together as a collective movement to combat the darkness in order to keep enough balance for the planet to not self-destruct or head into a permanent totalitarian cul-de-sac such as would prevent any further evolution of consciousness. To say, 'evil is part of God's creation, so we mustn't touch it' is very simplistic – and music to the ears of all who would seek to desecrate the rights of the innocent. Likewise, there are incredible challenges stacked against humanity, but if we dare to believe we can overcome them, we have a chance of success. If we don't believe, we have certainly lost. We can all do something to help the good grow; to limit attacks upon the freedom of sovereign souls. It may be as simple as being kind to others, or as complex as writing books and teaching other people, or building a business which helps empower individuals to protect the innocent. When I call to mind the image of the Earth, the beautiful gardenstone twirling in space, I think of its potential for so much goodness and triumph of love, intelligence, justice and beauty. May you call that image to mind and reflect on the goodness that may become real if we all fight for it. Yes, we should heal ourselves above all. Yes, beyond this we should seek to exert influence over the external world to empower freedom, truth and love. Yes, a better Earth is possible. In what way, little or great, can you help to create it?

Episode 161: Thoughts On Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence can be a useful tool when used to good ends, but can equally be used for harm; and given these AI tools are being produced by the most powerful corporations in the world (often in close collaboration with governments), we would be wise to not become reliant on AI. Use it when you need simple info fast, but whenever you have time to spare or when an issue is complex or controversial, do your own reading of various sources and make up your mind with good old-fashioned reflection, critical thinking and intuition. Just like the TV Dinners of the 1950s, serving toxic slop at record speed, AI gets the job done rapidly but thereby deprives you of precious opportunities to be creative, to gain skills and self-discipline, to use and exercise your brain. So enjoy AI and do what makes you happy, but I for one will use it sparingly, to always cultivate above all my own intelligence. CONNECT & SUPPORT My short stories collection is available now!

Episode 162: Wearing A Mask Obscures Your Vision

Just as a physical mask may to some extent reduce your field of vision – blocking out the peripheries and separating your in some way from your environment – so to do the masks of image-projection and inauthenticity limit our ability to truly see and understand life around us and even within us. We must spend brainpower to maintain our fictions and monitor perceived reactions to our charade; vital energy which could otherwise be spent on creativity and wisdom. And it's also a lot more fun and relaxing to be your true self, nothing to hide, everything to see. CONNECT & SUPPORT My short stories collection is available now!

Episode 163: Storytelling Contest Winners from Germany

I had a really great time giving workshops to schoolkids in Germany earlier this month – sharing the how and why of mindfulness, music and creative writing. As part of the programme, the classes were divided into groups and made up their own stories; then the whole class voted on their favourite story. In today's episode I read the winning stories – plus a few others as well! All of them are amazing in that those who wrote them got outside their comfort zone and had the confidence and openness to connect to their creativity and share what they came up with. But some of the stories also have genuinely genius little twists and details, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. May we all keep writing our stories – the stories of each day in our unique way. CONNECT & SUPPORT My short stories collection is available now!
