On my journey...
I have seen The Light Within many people, on a variety of occasions, to become aware that this is our natural essence.
My wife and I ran a very busy pub at a crossroads, high on a hill, in a wonderful location in East Devon, England. Our business was incredibly popular for the carvery and we often served nine hundred plus carveries, any Sunday of the year. I did a lot of carving, often with many people queuing in front of me.
​
My most beautiful experience so far, happened on Sunday, 11th April 1999. I can pinpoint the date clearly, as it was six days before our first son, Wilf, was born......
​
For some unknown reason, I started to look at all the people in front of me and along the queue differently, at their eyes and upwards. It became noticeable that no words of judgement of their appearance entered my mind. No labels of young/old, attractive/not so attractive, tall/short, popped into the head. I started to feel a vibration within and then all the souls in front of me started to light up, they looked/felt beautiful. The vibration within rose, and at some point I briefly lost connection with my surroundings, carving continued, there was an awareness of receiving a lot of information, but afterwards all I could recall was a knowing regarding the Mayan Calendar. The experience of time shifted, feeling more like a continuous Now, and this lasted for nearly a week afterwards.
I didn’t want to stop carving, but when I finally stopped, going upstairs to find my beautiful pregnant wife resting on the bed, I offered to make her a hot chocolate…. The vibration within lifted again. Then, when I decided to take the dog for a walk, the vibration rose again.
The understanding that remains is that when the judgemental mind loses its grip, ‘All is seen through the eyes of Love, which is Light’. Also, little acts of kindness raise our vibration significantly.
I have since been told that this was a Samadhi experience, witnessing “The light of the self shining without obstruction”. The process may have unfolded further, if the egoic mind hadn’t tried to grasp/understand what was going on.
During our thirty years running the pub, I continuously and unwittingly, before and after the above mentioned experience, doodled the six pointed star emitting rays of light, on the side of rotas, table plans and any other paperwork.
A flip side to the carvery experience happened much earlier, when I was eighteen in1987, ‘Harmonic Convergence’….. I was walking through Exeter city centre on a busy shopping day, lots of people around me. Suddenly everything changed, the people were moving very slowly and appeared asleep. Above their heads was a video playing of what they were thinking of, a bit like the bubbles above the characters in our old comic magazines. This experience didn’t last so long, but was profound and shocking.
​
The understanding now is that generally, people are preoccupied with ‘The voice in the head’ and this is taking their attention away from the present moment, by imagining the past and future. This really was an experience of the asleep-ness of HUmanity, prior to awakening.
The vision of sharing this logo, which has a subconscious impact, and perhaps a few thoughtful, inspirational and uplifting words on our clothing, is to aid the awakening of the masses to The Truth, which is our essence and True nature of Love and Light. Some call this Enlightenment, however it is more a remembering of our Truth before we were programmed into a 'belief' of being a separate self, which created fear, doubt and survival. Humanity is so, so, much more, and it is in the process of waking up.
​
This vision is based on raising our frequency and vibration….. Gratitude, Joy, Freedom and Abundance are our birth right.
On Christmas Eve 2021, whilst I was in the kitchen trying to prepare some food, I had a breakdown, my body couldn’t function, I was flooded with tears and felt terrible. Our older son, Wilf, then twenty-two, came home for Christmas that evening, and his presence made a significant difference.
It took until February, when I had the first of three epiphanies, to really recover. The first epiphany was “I’ve always been on my path and always will be”. In April, came the second epiphany “The phenomenal power of Gratitude”. Then in August, the third epiphany “I can 'Consciously Choose' to Smile”.
Each of these epiphanies raised my frequency and vibration considerably.
