Secrets of understanding yourself

From my earliest years I happily chatted to someone inside of me not knowing who they were. Knowing no difference, I assumed everybody else did too. Many children do the same until they are seven when the practice seems to fade. I was a sickly child and spent much of my time in bed. A simple cold would send me to bed for a week to wait for my immune system to kick in. Bored and a little lonely, I kept my practice of chatting to my internal friend going throughout my growing up and into my adult years.

My friend was always with me being my companion, nurturing and loving me. I knew I was never really alone. At a time of crisis he directed me and at a time of upset he would comfort me. Why would I want to deny his existence as many parents encourage their children to do.

As an adult I explored my spiritual self and inner landscape, I came to believe my life companion was a spirit guide helping me to develop. It is only in my 60th decade that I realised my life companion, with whom I had shared all of my life’s ups and downs, was my own soul. We had laughed together, cried together and worked together to overcome the life challenges we all get. I couldn’t imagine life without him.

Increasingly people are asking me about their spiritual development and recognising their soul. I do it by just following my intuition. But perhaps it is easier if you can understand the structure of the universe and the environment in which all spiritual development occurs. I have found the esoteric philosophy the most comprehensive explanation but the original books on the topic are not easy to read. To help you over this hurdle, let me introduce you to my colleague and friend William Meader.

William is a respected and influential teacher of Esoteric Wisdom. He holds an MA in Psychology and a PhD in Esoteric Philosophy and presents seminars, workshops and lectures worldwide, as well as regular webinars. He uses his gifts as a communicator of this philosophy to nurture a deeper understanding of the spiritual path, both from an individual and global perspective.

In my view, a gentle introduction to this quite complex topic is to listen to William’s webinar recordings. They are great value and each one explores a topic in the overall philosophy and explains it in words you can understand.
