Many self-help and new age books and videos teach us about how to become better, to be more successful, better than what we have been up till this point in time. Probably everybody reading this will have read some such books, watched a related video or listened to a teacher who encouraged them to become…
Why I rejected the chance for a six-figure income: Diary of a 21st Century Mystic #14 Many of you reading this will be aware that I write a lot about both mindfulness and how to develop spiritual intuition – what I call Integrated Intelligence. In fact this is the main subject of my most…
It’s been a while (again!). I shot this Diary entry with my mobile phone while walking along in the lovely Yellow Gum Reserve, about a ten minute drive from where I live in Greensborough, Melbourne. In this entry I talk about how consciousness fields become entangled, unconditional love, the loneliness of being a writer, and…
What is it that a modern mystic seeks in this world? Are there some things that he must seek? Are there some things that he should not seek because they are incompatible with a genuine spiritual path? Or should there be no seeking. Simply being? These are the kinds of questions that I have had…
Finally, here is my latest update for Diary of a 21st Century Mystic. Why the delay? Well, I explain that in the video! I did make one small error in the video. I am not living with four other people, but three. My math needs a little work. This video outlines two important distinctions about…

In my last blog entry for Diary of 21st Century Mystic, I wrote that there is currently some…
DIARY OF A 21ST CENTURY MYSTIC:Given that I label myself a ‘mystic’, some of you might be surprised to learn that I have little interest in 2012 doomsday prophecies. I wrote something about this on my old blog in July, 2010, and stated that prophecies of future hells and paradises are mostly projections of the…
DIARY OF a 21st CENTURY MYSTIC, #6: This is the first of my interviews for D21CM. There will be many more to follow. Two days ago I met up with Steve Bowman, Director of Conscious Governance (www.conscious-governance.com) for lunch at the Green Goose Restaurant, in Malvern, Melbourne. The meeting was set up by Marcus Barber,…
December 2nd, 2012. “Diary of a 21st Century Mystic” is new project (experiment) I have initiated to test the principles of Integrated Intelligence – spiritual intuition. I am basically beginning with nothing – no home, regular income, and few friends or contacts, after returning to Australia after 15 years overseas. You’ll note I’ve renumbered the…
