I continue to be amazed by the profundity of saintly people with a vision, and no axe to grind; these people see things for what they are, that we are portable versions of God or God in physical form or an aspect of God which can be partly seen in physicality. The criterion for an absolute truth is that it should be simple to understand by every living being and this is about as clear as it...

£4.25 for a latte whilst homeward bound
Thoughts on leaving as a guest. I have known my friend John for about 40 years and there aren't that many people that I can say that I have had relationships of such duration. People often drift away from each other and although they might meet occasionally to say hello the duration tells its own story and speaks its own message. I have another friend called Gregory who I met at the age of about...

Normally, the Alternative View conference had an annual weekend conference but on this occasion, the first after Covid and after a 2 year break, we were destined to have a long single day starting at 8:45 a.m. and finishing at about 7:30 p.m. I decided to have breakfast early and got up for seven am. To my surprise the queues were so great that all the seats were occupied. I discovered that ...
Strange Hotel, strange town
Cross country rides take longer than you think. I departed from base around 10 am from Midsomer Norton which as most of you may know is about 10 miles south of Bath, and I set my satnav to avoid motorways and thus just travel on normal A roads. The total elapsed time according to the AA will be 2 hours 55 minutes for a distance of 145 miles. However before going to my destination I wanted to...
