There is a knighthood of the 21st century
Whose riders do not ride through the darkness
Of physical forests, as of old,
But through the forest of darkened minds.

They are armed with a spiritual armour,
And an inner sun makes them radiant.

Out of them shines healing,
Healing that flows from the knowledge
Of the human being as a spiritual being.

They must create inner order, inner justice,
Peace, and conviction in the darkness of our time.

They must learn to work side by side with angels.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll always know dear, how much I love you
Let us make a shared heart today!

I am the sparkling dust in the sunlight
I am the round sun...

Hail to the Sun
Hail, hail, hail, hail to the God in everyone!

I am the dusty dreams of old
Won't you come and find me?

"The Sun brings warmth and light to the beloved flower. It does not seek to possess."
This is a quote I developed whilst communing with the evening sun (15 May 2019).
It was inspired by a recording by Celtic shaman Ceridwen (also called by her shamanic name 'Raven'). Her spoken words in the track 'Lady Evening Star' from her album Hauntings seem to be: "As the flower needs the sun, it seeks not to possess it."


Even astronomy tells us that the Earth follows the Sun. So why do we persist in electing politicians that plunder the Earth and ignore the Sun? The Sun has far more strength, light and love. The Earth knows who to follow. Why have we lost our way? Surely, we have to listen to the Earth and make the Sun our role model... (1 June 2019)


Are you going to survive or are you going to do good? The answer is that for almost all of us, we do that which ensures survival. But what if goodness and love is the only sure way to survival? We see that today where those who use power, fear, money are not actually ensuring survival. Humans look like they are endangering their ecosystem Earth so much that they will extinguish so many plants and animals that they will run out of food. Survival like this is leading to extinction. We need to realise that goodness and love are the only way. This is the Way of the Sun. (20 June 2019)




Today I glimpsed the Sun reflected on a seaside pool left by the far-receded tide. It reminded me of a diamond ring. There was the circular pool of sea water and the sun sparkling at one edge. For a moment, I felt like I was married to the Sun. (25 November 2020)


At this point in my life (11 December 2020), there is ongoing obscurity about my life direction. None of my prayers or ideas seem to bear fruit. And so I am particularly inspired by these words from Chief White Eagle (Ponca Native American tribe):




Do you want to be a shooting star or do you want to be a sun? A one-hit wonder or a legend? A life of short-term influence and/or power vs. an eternity of Joy, Light and Love?
A shooting star has spent a lot of time as a little rock and lights up briefly as it enters the Earth's atmosphere before typically burning up.
Meanwhile the sun was previously gas and dust that was compressed for a million years, then it lights up as a sun for billions of years.
In human terms, the latter requires a lot of humble discipline. Whilst the sun is everyone's essence and destiny, you need to work hard spiritually and morally to reveal it or connect with it. (13 May 2022)


Astronomy tells us that the energy of the Sun permeates everywhere in the solar system. Even if you are in a place where its Light and Warmth seem to be absent, its Energy is always there. Astronomy also tells us that everything in the solar system is derived from stardust.
Spiritually, the lessons are the same. Even if Great Spirit seems to have deserted you, it is there, always available. Whatever you may think you are, your origin is Great Spirit.
(6 December 2022)




I watch the sun set. So warm, so luminous! On tiptoes, I watch the solar disc disappear, bit by bit. Till it vanishes under the horizon. It is dark. There is a sinking feeling like being parted from a loved one. But then I know it is always here. Its energy permeates all things. Immediately I feel elated again! (20 April 2023)


A human being has a sun within them. An inner sun. Some people can sense this inner light. Eventually embody it. This can take many years or even lifetimes of virtuous living, spiritual exercises and purification.

For the very evil, this spark of God/Goddess/Great Spirit within is like a matchstick in a snowy haystack. So lost, so hidden, so hard to ignite. The cold wet hay is symbolic of all their impurities and misdeeds. They may not find it at all for a very long time. But the tiny flame is there.

If they do locate it, and then attempt to light it, to intensify it, it is repeatedly extinguished by the weight of all the soggy hay. It will certainly take many lifetimes to make amends and purify enough to find and free the sacred flame.

When the inner flame becomes strong, it becomes like a fireball. The purification process is accelerated, the problematic hay is quickly dried and obliterated. Then the inner sun is truly freed. Now it only serves others, spreading warmth, wisdom, and sacred life.

Great care is needed at all stages, as it always is when handling fire.
If enough of us do it, we will be like a galaxy of stars.
Will you free your inner sun? (19 May 2023)


Today I read an article that stars could become invisible in 20 years, due to light pollution. This is such a huge loss to humanity. As a small child I sometimes lived in the countryside and I remember looking up at the night sky and being in awe of the Milky Way. We humans lose such a lot in the way of spiritual and psychological health by denying ourselves the ability to interact with these beautiful, bright intelligences known as stars. (28 May 2023)


About 400 years ago, we humans recognised that the Sun is at the centre of our universe. We now see this as an obvious truth and we may mock anyone who says otherwise. I'd like to say two things about this.
First, we do not act as if this is the truth. Intellectually we do, but not so spiritually. We are still so self-centred, seeking individual freedoms. We are so immoral and irreverent. So we do not act as if the Sun is at the centre of our universe. We are spiritually still living in extreme ignorance.
Second, to have the Earth at the centre of our universe is actually quite good. The issue again is that we did not - and do not - act as if the Earth is at the centre of our universe. We humans have been - and are - busy destroying the Earth. All Earth life will soon end unless we become more Earth-centred.
And so, the conclusion is that humans continue to live in the Dark Ages. Neither the Sun nor the Earth are at the centre of our universe. Humans are at the centre - especially those with power and money. All has been made secondary to humans. From an Animal and an Angelic point-of-view, we are still so unenlightened. (30 July 2023)
Instead, do this: “When we concentrate on the sun, which is the centre of our universe, we draw closer to our own centre, our higher Self, our inner sun; we unite with it and begin, little by little, to resemble it.” (O.M. Aïvanhov)


Meditating at the sunrise this morning and I feel I just want to leave all this physical world behind and go live in the sacred jewel that is the Sun. (15 September 2023)


In our solar system, the Sun is an immense, invaluable jewel. Surely it is the greatest art treasure, artifact, artist? The greatest invention, construction, creator? The greatest drug, healing therapy, healer? The greatest lucky charm, talisman, magician? The greatest presence, guru, leader? (22 September 2023)


Shocking news! The Sun is polyamorous. But what sort of love is it? (23 September 2023)


This week I apparently was inspired to mix the Scottish tune of Flower of Scotland with inspiration from the lyrics of Scotland the Brave into a simple chant:


(25 & 30 September, 2 October 2023)


Gazing at the Sun this morning and I feel like I have been caught in the tractor beam of the Sun. I like to think I am about to be retrieved to my homeland! I am being secured. (30 September 2023)




MAGA, Big Money, Big Oil, Big Tech, Big Pharma, etc. All this hate towards socialism, equality, justice is so anti-nature. Although there is hierarchy and huge diversity in nature, the underlying force is Love for all. This is best demonstrated by the Sun, who gives to all. What would happen if the Sun decided to only favour those that do it some sort of favour? Life on Earth would die. Without light and warmth, we are fucked. So why do we entrench these elitist, individualist, authoritarian political and financial systems? Where is the spiritual eco-socialism of the Sun? That is the model we must follow! Otherwise, with our current political and financial philosophies, we are so fucked. We will go extinct. (11 November 2024)
