Wisdom of the Week – Detachment

Lucian Eyers © 2008

I was waiting for a tube train at Knightsbridge station this week, when five youths decided to sit on the edge of the platform with their legs dangling over the rails. At first I waited to see if someone would approach, but there was no platform attendant. It was also very crowded so it was likely the CCTV camera could not see them.
I then asked the angels to give protection to these silly boys and was surprised by the answer the angels gave me. They said, “You do something.” 
As I approached the youths, I discovered they were foreign and asked them if they spoke English. One boy nodded. I said, “The train will enter the platform very quickly and you may not have time to remove your legs.” He then replied, “The train is not coming for another seven minutes.” My response was, “What you are doing is extremely dangerous, I am not an official, but if they catch you, then you may get into serious trouble.” The boys then stood up.
Although there were many people present, no one intervened. Some may say the numerous onlookers were practising detachment, but this is not the case.
The boys were clearly in danger. They were sitting close to where the train enters and a scramble at the last minute to remove their legs could have been fatal. I have been travelling on the tube for many years and seven minutes can pass very quickly.
There were several reasons why no one acted and these were based on indifference, fear and ego – none relate to detachment.
Detachment is acting for the higher good of all. It is understanding we are all 'One' and when we need to, we get involved, but in a detached way. Being detached is not a state of indifference.
When we practice perfect detachment we master our emotions. We do not concern ourselves with what others may think of us. Nor do we engage in fear, believing we will receive a violent reaction – we remain calm and independent of the situation.
I was telling a friend this story and he began to create a new scenario of someone being stabbed, he said, “Would you then go after the attacker?” 
I said, “Of course not – I would tend to the injured person and then get an ambulance.” 

When we are truly detached, we can then make the right decision. It is of course more difficult to do this with those who are close to us. However, if we wish to spiritually advance, detachment is a lesson we all must learn.

The picture above and below is from a poem I wrote about a scarecrow who is not valued, but does little to defend himself. He relies on trust and higher forces to improve his fate. He also resists the temptation to judge – which is the key to detachment and brings contentmenIf youwould like to purchase this poem and others from 'The Second Sparky Book of Hours,' you can as an eBook and hardback via our website at:

Wisdom of the Week – Abundance

 

© Lucian Eyers 2008

 

I was forced this week to take a taxi to the station as our car broke down. After ringing six taxi companies the seventh answered and drove me to the station. I was interested to know what the Universe had in store for me and this was revealed in the conversation I had with the driver. I said to him, “Have you always been a taxi driver?” 
He said, “No I just fell into it after I was made redundant.” I suggested for a moment he should forget about money and I asked him what he would really like to do?
He replied, “I’ve always fancied being a grounds man at a golf course.” 
I told him that his dream job was not very difficult to achieve and asked had he ever approached a golf course, even for part-time work. He said, “I hate to admit it  – but no.” 
His reasons were based on a lack of confidence and apathy.
I explained that we could all have what we desire in life. Abundance comes from trusting that you can have this and visualising your dream. It involves acting as if it has already happened and is the principle behind the Universal Law of Manifestation.
Like anything we desire whether it is healing, a relationship or even money, we need to ask and be grateful for what we will receive.
It is important to always mention that your request should be for the higher good. If you want to add ceremony when asking, light a candle or go to a beautiful or quiet place – Angels and Unicorns love these things and it will help you to connect with them.
Make your wish clear and thank them afterwards. Shortly after this you will notice signs that change is occurring. You may see something in a newspaper or overhear a conversation that will plant a seed. Spirit is guiding you, so trust in this, but with discernment. Again – remember to ask that this will be for the higher good. If it is, then do not hold back but believe in yourself.
In last week’s blog I explained that everything is as it should be. There is a huge shift as the workplace is now attracting much anger, frustration and bullying. This week saw the revolt in Greece, one of many we have seen since the uprising in Egypt on the 25th January of this year. These uprisings were predicted by the spiritual community and are part of us being able to shake off the old 3^rd dimensional ways of exploitation, greed and control and to move towards the 5^th dimensional principles of fulfilment, freedom and taking responsibility for our own lives.
As the taxi arrived at the station, I told the driver unless he had an electric car and could generate his own electricity, he would not have a taxi service in the near future. The Universe will not allow us to destroy our planet with pollution and fossil fuels. Therefore, we will be forced to change from more natural disasters occurring.
As I walked to the platform I thanked the angels for the subject of this week’s blog and also thanked the taxi driver for what he had taught me. It is this – that both fear and apathy can hold us back from living our dreams. How many of us believe that paid work cannot be something we can enjoy? How many of us believe we will be without and never experience abundance? How many will suffer before we learn to finally believe in ourselves.
I crafted the poem 'Samuel Says' around something Samuel, my guardian angel once said to me. Abundance is not a state of wanting, but of knowing. To be like this we have to be a Master.

Wisdom of the Week – Synchronicity

 Lucian Eyers © 2008

 

A friend emailed me with this question, ‘What is it about the number seven – why so lucky?’ After explaining the significance of this number I finished by saying, “There is no such thing as luck. However, if people believe seven will bring them good fortune, then this will be so.”

This Wednesday saw the release of the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei by the Chinese state government.

On the same day, “Hundreds of people were killed and another 8,000 injured in a strong earthquake that rocked a remote mountainous area of north-western China on Wednesday.

Following is a list of the country's most deadly reported quakes in recent years:

April 14, 2010: A quake with a magnitude of 6.9 kills at least 400 and injures another 8,000 in the remote north-west province of Qinghai.

May 12, 2008: A 8.0-magnitude quake strikes the southwestern province of Sichuan, leaving nearly 87,000 dead or missing. Another 4.45 million are injured in the worst quake disaster to hit China in more than three decades.”1

The list the news website provides is a long one, but the point has been made.

My wife asked me why the Chinese had finally agreed to release the artist Ai Weiwei. I said the Chinese are a superstitious people and their leaders now believe they are being punished for wrongly imprisoning someone who dared to speak out against their dictatorship. First with the recent floods and now with this earthquake.

However, tragedy does not befall us because we are cursed. We attract tragedy through our actions and thoughts. This also applies to when we wish to attract abundance. The difference between being cursed or repaying karmic debt is an important distinction to make. The first, blames a third party for one’s actions – the second takes responsibility for one’s actions.
Coincidences in our lives are signs by our angels and guides that we are on the right or the wrong path. Our Universe is not the consequence of chance but is exacting. If we have done wrong then this karmic debt must be paid. If we have done well, then we will enjoy the fruits of our rewards. The timing of such events is also orchestrated by spirit. In knowing this you can be sure that all that happens to us is for a divine reason and at the right time.

In the case of China, it may seem the people are the ones who are suffering and not the leaders and industrial powers responsible for accruing this karmic debt. Many people at a higher soul level have agreed at this time to remove the backlog of exploitation to both people and our planet. The suffering of the Chinese will show us the consequence of not honouring each other and will encourage global compassion and aid. These terrible disasters will help to cleanse our planet, as the souls who die will take with them the negative energy that generations have created. The Chinese people will also begin to take charge of their lives and no longer look to a few proactive individuals to make decisions for them. Only through such a huge physical shift can these changes take place.

Being late, unlucky, or another such failure should no longer exist in your life. You are in the right place at the right time and living the consequence of your thoughts and deeds – that is how your Universe works.

My illustration above is for a poem I wrote for ‘The Sparky Book of Hours’ called ‘The Dragonfly’. One of the most useful ways in helping you to synchronize your thoughts with the Divine, is to avoid judgment. You can purchase this poem and others as an eBook and hardback book via our website at:

Wisdom of the Week – Understanding

 

Lucian Eyers © 2008

Our understanding develops not only with time but when we scrutinise every aspect of ourselves. This week I was party to a conversation where a young man was telling another that he disliked rats and mice. He said, “I have no problem with people doing experiments on them.” The other man said, “I agree, but I think experiments should only be for things like medical research and not for cosmetics.” I then intervened and said to the first man, “It may have been in a past life you were either a mouse or a rat.” He replied, “That doesn’t affect me because I don’t believe in religion or reincarnation, so it’s not a problem.” 
There are three levels of understanding this conversation illustrates. The first level is very basic, the second is more enlightened and the third level understands why such creatures exist. It is important not to judge a person’s view but to see the opportunities for growth for all concerned. Both these men will in time understand that any life form is not here merely to be used for our own convenience, but should be honoured in the same way human beings are. When we value all life forms and understand, we are all ‘One,’ we advance spiritually to a much higher level – the positive outcome this brings to the planet and our souls is then breathtaking.
More than forty years ago when I was in the church choir, I remember being troubled by something our Vicar Reverend Barnes would recite as part of the Christian service. It was this: “Thou art not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy table.” Even as a child, this seemed to me to have far more to do with control and less to do with an all-loving God.
What Reverend Barnes was referring to was the dogmatic interpretation by the Church regarding ‘original sin’. In the spiritual world it is understood as karma. The common spiritual understanding is that we have accrued karmic debt from our past lives and we are here on Earth to learn and to repay that debt. In some cases we are here to receive payment for our past good deeds. It is important to remember that difficult challenges in life are not only a consequence of karmic debt, but are lessons our higher selves have undertaken in order for us to develop. However, to condemn any of us knowing nothing of our past lives, but simply because we are in a physical body is clearly wrong. This bizarre principle would also extend to the innocence of a child.
Then one magical day I was resting against an old London Lime tree and to my astonishment my question of karma was answered by this beautiful tree.
For many years I had talked to trees as I discovered they were the keepers of knowledge. I befriended this one tree in particular and when I connected with him, he would give me wonderful insights, many of which were in verse. What the vicar and the tree had taught me was to trust not in what I was told, but in what I can feel.
It is this self-seeking for independent understanding that brings us closer to our higher selves and as such, closer to God.
Most people would consider me quite insane to be talking to trees and it did puzzle me how I could relay long passages of poetic verse, which had a wisdom of its own. As I was pondering on this, resting against my tree’s bark, he showed me a dream, which I had experienced when I was very small. I still remember the detail and my parents at my bedside, because they were awoken by my screams. In the dream I was chased down a stone corridor by Roman soldiers. The moment I awoke was when a sword was plunged into my chest.
Later that week my wife told me about an historical fact that she had read concerning the Governor of Roman Britain, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, who with his army in 61 AD was responsible for murdering a whole community of druids on the island of Anglesey, as they posed a threat to the Roman Empire. Suddenly the penny dropped and I understood that my question had been answered.
Numbers are significant and it was no coincidence that in that past life, I died in 61 AD, but was born in 1961 in this one.
The word ‘Druid’ means, ‘oak knowledge’. Druids passed their teachings on through verse. They would train for twenty years before they could teach others and were known for their connection with the trees. It was now clear that I was once a druid. We are all an embodiment of our past. However, when we use the ‘present’ wisely, we can become beacons of guiding light, carving out a future that attracts love and peace to all things.

My tree’s poem is helpful in reminding us how wise nature can be and not to view the Earth’s silent, gentle species with indifference, but with love and a deep respect. You can purchase this poem and others via our website at:

Wisdom of the Week – Heaven on Earth

 

Lucian Eyers © 2010

I explained to a man I met this week that due to the shift of vibration to our planet, we will see once more – Heaven on Earth. He said with assured authority, “We have never had Heaven on Earth before”. I replied that we had, albeit for a short period, (1,500 years) which was in the reign of Golden Atlantis.

After that the man said very little, either because I was discussing something he had limited knowledge of – or because he thought I was totally mad.

It is this assumption that there are some things that are impossible to achieve, that I wish to focus on.

Heaven is situated in the 7^th dimension, which is why it is often described as ‘Seventh Heaven’.  It is a place where angels and unicorns dwell. It is a place of healing and peace. If you believe you can be there and raise your frequency to this level, then you can spend time here once you have passed over.

I have kept this blog short as I wish you to focus on this thought – the key to discovering Heaven is to no longer condemn those who disgust you to a life of Hell. This is difficult to do but is instrumental in liberating us all.

When someone who has committed terrible deeds dies, they go to a place of healing. If they show regret for their actions, then they are able to continue their soul’s lessons in the inner planes before embarking on another life in a physical form. If during this time others send thoughts of condemnation, then this will have dire consequences to the sickened soul. In contrast by sending mercy and forgiveness, this will enable them to recover and to learn how to open their hearts and engage in a life with love. Heaven on Earth is therefore within our own grasp. We should not see ourselves as the victims of other people’s bad actions. Instead we experience consequences when we are reluctant to change our own hearts. So quick we are to condemn, yet we may take a lifetime to forgive. The heart of God is mercy. Be like Him and Heaven will stretch before you.

The picture above illustrates a poem I wrote called, ‘Heaven is in your Heart’ and is taken from my book ‘The Angel Book of Hours’. The heart is a place of wisdom and serenity. It expresses kindness and humility. When we use our hearts we use the best of ourselves. The poem reminds you how beautiful you can be.

Wisdom of the Week – Power

 Lucian Eyers © 2008

 

A line manager in the work place once said to me, “I could make your life Hell if I wanted to.” He finished by saying, “That is power!” My reply was, “Only if I let you.” I explained that power was not controlling others, but the ability to control ourselves. 

‘BERLIN — Europe's economic powerhouse, Germany, announced plans Monday to abandon nuclear energy over the next 11 years, outlining an ambitious strategy in the wake of Japan's Fukushima disaster to replace atomic power with renewable energy sources.

Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hopes the transformation to more solar, wind and hydroelectric power serves as a roadmap for other countries.

"We believe that we can show those countries who decide to abandon nuclear power – or not to start using it – how it is possible to achieve growth, creating jobs and economic prosperity while shifting the energy supply toward renewable energies,"’1 

On hearing this news my heart wanted to sing. I saw evidence that the vibration of the planet was finally lifting and I sent my love and gratitude to the German people for forcing this change upon its government. 

‘The decision represents a remarkable about-face for Merkel's center-right government, which only late last year pushed through a plan to extend the life span of the country's reactors, with the last scheduled to go offline around 2036. But Merkel, who holds a Ph.D. in physics, said industrialized, technologically advanced Japan's "helplessness" in the face of the Fukushima disaster made her rethink the technology's risks.’2 

I believe however, there was something more powerful to change government opinion and remove this dangerous technology. Credit to the German government for changing their decision is due, but the bulk of the credit should go to the German people who demonstrated. 

‘Many Germans have vehemently opposed nuclear power since Chernobyl sent radioactivity over the country. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets after Fukushima to urge the government to shut all reactors quickly’.3 

Governments are made up of people. People are always reluctant to change unless they have to. When we change the world changes – this is power.

In contrast, ‘French Prime Minister Francois Fillon, whose country relies on nuclear power to produce 80 percent of its electricity supply, insisted "there's no way" for the European Union to meet its emission-cutting targets without at least some nuclear power.’4

 What Mr. Fillon says is of course not true, but in order to achieve ‘emission-cutting targets’, change needs to take place and the power base needs to shift away from the huge energy companies and rest with smaller communities providing for their own energy needs. Empowering individuals to provide their own solar or wind power is something at present, industry and government will resist at all costs – but this will happen. When this happens is entirely up to you.

I understand that even with government grants, the technology is still prohibitively high for most people. Be patient, the situation will change and the opportunity will present itself sooner than you think.

Following this positive news, the Guardian then reported, ‘Global warming: Bleaker and Bleaker. New figures show we are still hurtling towards dangerous climate change – at a time when policymakers are running out of ideas.
Sometimes a quotation really says it all. As chief economist of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol is not given to overstatement – so his comment in our paper today that the latest figures on greenhouse gas emissions are “the worst news” should be taken seriously. It is not just that the statistics showing another record leap in carbon output – 30.6 gigatonnes of CO2 over 2010 – to make the highest annual total in history are grim. They also come at a point when the old centrist certainties about how to tackle climate change are palpably out of date, and yet no new ideas have come along as replacement.’5

So what is the answer?
I have mentioned in several of my blogs, that a shift in vibration to our planet to a higher level in 2012, will bring great changes. These are already happening as we will see people taking charge of their lives and relying less on others. Current governments cannot solve this problem of climate change, as they do not act purely for the higher good – but we as responsible individuals can. Many feel despondent that we have failed, as the many natural disasters and statistics on climate change reveal the consequences of previous actions. However this is necessary. If you can imagine the planet with a huge boil which from infection becomes sore. Eventually the boil will burst. How violently it bursts depends on whether we treat the planet sensitively or subject it to further irritation.

So who can help us?
It is right that governments are helpless and have lost control of climate change. It is safe to say they never had control to begin with, for if they did, the current problem would not exist. The power is now with each and every one of us to bring about change and what has been forecast once again on our planet – to see Heaven on Earth.

How do we do this?

• Remember who you are. You are a divine being of God. This will bring you the self worth that you deserve.

• Congratulate yourself on what you have achieved. Only the strongest souls can cope with the challenges Earth presents. You have seen great change and everyone has played their part. This will bring you hope.

• Trust that you have enormous help from the Universe. Great angels, spirit guides, and other divine beings are assisting us all to achieve this. Ask for their help. This will bring you strength.

• Keep love in your heart. This will bring you peace and the will to act always for the greater good.

I was telling a friend about the subject of this week’s blog and he said excitedly, “Of course power is information.” I was reluctant to agree with him as many believe this, but for the wrong reason.

If we hold on to something we know in the hope it will secure wealth or the need to control, then no one will benefit. Give freely and freedom will stretch before you. Hold on to what you think is valuable and it will turn to dust, diminishing in the depths of a memory.

My friend in some respects was right. Information is power – but to give and not to keep. You could of course use your power now and pass on what I have freely given to you.

My picture above illustrates a poem I wrote called ‘Power’ and is taken from my book ‘The Sparky book of Hours.’ The picture showing the ant standing upon a walnut shows the scale of his authority.

Wisdom of the Week – Independence

Lucian Eyers © 2011

This week saw Iceland's most active volcano, Grimsvotn, erupting.

 

On Tuesday at 8.22am on The BBC Today Programme Transport Secretary Philip Hammond said this time airspace was prepared and we would not see a repeat of aircraft being grounded as they were a year ago saying, “There won’t be any shutdowns. We’ve moved on to a different way of working – we won't be closing airspace.”1
Unfortunately government and industry are still not listening to the cries of our planet. For pilots to adjust the flight paths of aircraft to avoid ash, even with the new scanning technology available, is dangerous and irresponsible.
The purpose of the volcanoes, as in the case of the other global disasters is to cleanse the planet from the damage we have caused. The volcanoes ash has a role to play. Its purpose is to stop aircraft from flying in the world’s busiest area of airport traffic on our planet. This is a gentle warning. 
What is the volcano teaching us? 
In very simple terms the answer is ‘independence’. We rely too heavily on airfreight for our food instead of growing closer to home. We are aware of the carbon footprint this generates, but still we continue to do this. In addition to this our own economy is in desperate need of investment. If people were to take more of their holidays in their own country, then this would be kind to the environment and to their economy. Once international travel is cleaner to the environment, then foreign travel will be acceptable to the planet. This is the message the Transport Secretary should have made. However, his lack of foresight reminds us not to follow the advice of any individual based on their positions of authority – we should follow our hearts. There is no better way of determining the truth than this. 
Also this week, a Kent doctor could face a disciplinary hearing after discussing his Christian faith with a non-Christian patient. “Dr Richard Scott, from Margate, has received a warning from the General Medical Council (GMC) after it received a complaint."2

 

For the General Medical Council to impose their own belief-structure on its members with no evidence to support that God does not exist, is clearly wrong. The GMC decision to hold a disciplinary hearing is based on fear and the need to control. 
Niall Dickson, the chief executive of the GMC, said: "The GMC does not discuss individual cases but our guidance, which all doctors must follow, is clear; doctors should not normally discuss their personal beliefs with patients unless those beliefs are directly relevant to the patient's care.”3
“Dr Scott said that after about 20 minutes he thought the patient may be helped if they had a spiritual discussion.”4
What Dr Scott is being told by the Universe is that he has found independence and as such will no longer work within a dictatorship. Dr Scott was right to discuss the spiritual aspects of his patient’s well being. We are not only physical beings and as such if we wish the healing process to take place effectively, then all aspects of our mortal fabric, the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, need to be addressed. 
So what can we expect in the future? 
As we discover independence, we will change the old ways. Because the planet is shifting it's vibration upwards, we will no longer be able to work in areas that do not fulfil our soul purpose. Dr Scott is a living example of this change and through his courage he will help others to do the same. People will look more to independent healers as they become disillusioned with the restrictions placed on controlled medicinal care. Many will be aware of the problems associated with the pharmaceutical industry and will look for safer and more effective alternatives. People will also discover the law surrounding the use of only licensed drugs has far less to do with protecting the public and a great deal more to do with protecting the pharmaceutical industry itself.
The other significant change resulting in independent thought will mean we will have little need to rely on governmental bodies as we currently do. In the case of the Transport Minister, he has shown that a lack of vision and sympathy for our planet and the safety of human lives is secondary to supporting industry and trade. The consequence of further carbon emissions and climate change will eventually show people the need for independent thought and self-governing.

Finally this week saw ‘Fugitive Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic has been arrested in Serbia after 16 years on the run. Gen Mladic, 69, was found in a village in northern Serbia where had been living under an assumed name. He faces charges over the massacre of at least 7,500 Bosnian Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995.’5
This is an extreme example of where a lack of independent thought can lead to mass murder based on fear and hatred. Whether Ratko Mladic was guilty or not, somewhere along the line many did what they where told, rather than doing what was right. 

So what can we do? 

Much more than we think. As a child, my mother used to say to me, “if someone told you to stick your head in the oven would you do it?”
With global warming the planet is becoming like an oven. A huge oven that if we put our heads in the sand – the oven will explode. My mother’s words of wisdom showed the importance of independent thought. I can give you a long list of things you can do to prevent global warming and the disasters that would follow. However this defeats the object of my message, which is to empower you to find independence.
You must decide. I will help your decision-making by leaving you with one thought.
What ever you decide to do, always ask yourself, “Is this for the higher good of all?’ In doing this you will bring about change – the right change.
My own pictures above and below are illustrations for a poem I wrote called. ‘King of Trees’ and is taken from my book ‘The Angel Book of Hours’. It helps to expalin how your own independence can lead to contentment.
