Newsletter - September 2025

Dear friends,

How are you?

We have built up this ‘me’ this ‘ego’ from an early age by copying our parents, those we admire and habits we think are attractive. I could stand in for my mother or my sister on the phone, our voices are almost identical.

Are we then influenced by the reactions of other people and this body world? i.e. people laugh at our jokes so we tell some more and label ourselves as ‘I can be funny’, so the ego is built up and with these ideas – pure reactions, your ego grows from your manifest creation, outside influences and we believe it to be who we are.  We all want to be free and yet we believe we are this ego that we have developed and lock ourselves into this egoworld with all its restrictions.

As Eckhart Tolle says, ‘your primary task is not to seek salvation through creating a better world but to awaken to our identification with form’.

Feel the stillness, the peace that is behind all form and join with it and then listen to your higher self.

Why not refer to your higher self and choose for that: be your natural self, if you feel like shouting, running, singing, jumping, then do that and be truthful to yourself.  Don’t hold back because of some limiting idea.  All possibilities are open to you. 

You are free.
