"Not all those who wander are lost" JRR Tolkien

Exploration - spiritually, creatively or in any sphere - is part of our evolutionary process and we don't need to attach ourself to any doctrine or fixed plan. Structure has its place but it's not everything.

SEBASTIAN FRANCK: A mystic 500 years ahead of his time…

Denounced as a heretic by the Catholic Church. Called “the devil’s most cherished slanderous mouth” by Martin Luther. His books burnt. YET HIS MESSAGE IS RELEVANT TODAY.

OUR HUMANITY FIRST. We can decide that our first loyalty is to our humanity – all humanity. Not only in the sense of all the peoples of the world, but also in the sense of compassion, decency, kindness. A loyalty above all else.

Voices of the Cathars

There was a time when the Catholic Church sought to destroy not only every last Cathar, but every last trace of them.

And yet, some of their writings survived.

The spiritual teacher Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov once said, "What is it to be normal? To love and be loved, to sing, to dance. That is what it is to be normal."

THIS IS KEY. It is all too easy to get sucked into the negativity of our times and limit ourselves to reacting to all the injustices around us. We can also focus our energies on creating a better world both in our own lives and globally, doing whatever we can constructively to build an alternative.

With all the uncertainty in this world, it's good to restate
a core value we hold at Spirit of the Rainbow:
"We focus on what we are for rather than what we are against"
So we can choose to put our energy into doing something
positive and constructive, no matter how seemingly small.

Power is like fire: it needs to be directed or it consumes everything around it. A well-tended fire allows us to transform metal into useful items or safely heat homes. Similarly, well-directed power can change the lives of millions for the better.

RĀBIʼA AL-ʼADAWIYYA
Rābiʼa's life unsettles assumptions – not only about Islam, but about women’s spiritual authority across history. Her presence reminds us how much has been forgotten and waits to be rediscovered.

Our shared humanity comes first, before nationality, ethnicity, religion or anything else. That's how we will survive and build our future on this planet. The mentality of 'tribe and territory' belongs to the past. We need to move forward together as one humanity.

Was St Margaret made a saint simply for being obedient daughter to the Church? Or does her life suggest something more – a woman working within strict limits, yet finding ways to embody compassion and spiritual conviction in her life?

Rābiʼa al-ʼAdawiyya offers a spirituality that asks for no reward and fears no punishment. To love the Divine without bargaining is demanding – and quietly transformative.

Can a person hold power and still live a deeply spiritual life?
The story of Saint Margaret Queen of Scotland does not offer simple answers. A medieval queen shaped by exile, faith, and constraint – yet with a depth of compassion.

I first encountered Rābiʼa al-ʼAdawiyya not in a mosque, but in a monastery library. Her story appeared quietly – the life of a Muslim woman mystic whose devotion to God was uncompromising and deeply intimate.

WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD, WE CAN STAY TRUE TO OUR VISION OF OUR HEAVEN ON EARTH. EACH ONE OF US HAS A CONTRIBUTION TO MAKE. AND FOR THIS WE DO NOT NEED TO BE RICH OR FAMOUS.

IT'S US TOO
Any decent human being is appalled at the behaviour of dictators and demagogues: their inhumanity, their bullying & dishonesty. But it's a test for us too.
1. Do we sink to their level, becoming no better than them?
2. Do we give up in despair?
3. Do we focus on building a better world?
