- Chinese whispers and American foreign policy
We sometimes say things as a joke, but when the joke is at the expense of another person, it can get out of hand because not everyone shares the same understanding or sense of humour. We need to remember that our words reflect our thoughts and precede our actions.

- Are you contributing to crime by reading the newspapers?
Every time we read details of crime in a newspaper, we condition our brains to accept more information about the crimes. That makes crime acceptable and we accept negative thoughts as a cheap substitute for Love.

- This is just not happening to me
When we experience a sudden shock, our minds and bodies deal with as much as they can and file the rest of the experience away until we are ready for it. This results in irrational behaviour at the time of the shock and a degree of depression later on. All experiencs contribute to our spiritual growth.

- Premonitions and confirmations
We have premonitions because we are all linked together by means of invisible waves of energy. That is how we become aware of incidents "before" they happen - in fact the incident happens first, and then it enters our consciousness.

Our bodies are a reflection of our spirits. We look at our bodies and think that is what we are. because we do not understand that our bodies are merely a vehicle for us to use in this existence. We are not our bodies, but we need to look after our bodies as long as we are in this existence.

- I believe in angels ' and fairies and mermaids
We find it easy to believe in material things for which we have not seen any evidence. However, we easily reject spiritual issues for which there is much evidence, on the basis that we have not experienced it ourselves. We need to understand that the dimension we live in is not the only one. We have access to other dimensions and we like to discard this as fantasy rather than acknowledge it as another reality.

- He looks just like his father
When a child is born, we acknowledge that the child is a combination of the parents - the best and the worst of both parents. We choose to forget this when our children grow older and display behaviour that reminds us of our dark side. We then often blame the child rather than deal with our own traits or fears.
