Why I do what I do :

For me, it is a fact that we have lived many lives before the current one, and that we carry some parts that are inherited and some parts that are entirely our own. To move through Life in a way that invites a recognition of the 'given' and 'ungiven' parts of us, the shadow and light parts of us, I see, as becoming increasingly important.

Thanks to the events around the 'pandemic' I was able to ask myself many deeper questions of what was reflected to me; what felt confronting to me, and what moved within me.

Gradually (via varying depths and heights of egotism, fear, hatred, doubt, guilt, shame, and anti-social tendencies) the responsibility to change my Thinking for the future wellbeing of the Earth and of Humanity, became a recognisable truth.

Whilst I had inherited the words 'reincarnation' and 'karma' from my Indian cultural roots, it was not until I found myself getting to know myself through Anthroposophy that the truth of 'reincarnation' and 'karma' as necessities for the future of human and Earth's development became clear to me.

The world is a Being in relationship with all human beings - who are gradually becoming more human, ideally through heart-centred Thinking. To become conscious of our activity, in creating Life experiences to know Love, is why I bring ways of discerning morality, truth, beauty, and goodness - for this epoch of evolution.

During the point of turning from Childhood to Adolescence, I had written a poem asking "What is Love?". Steadily, it is being revealed through participation in building authentic bridges of connection. As my Thinking started to awaken to this truth, a search ensued to find a new way of being in the world.

Decades later, I learned that Kali Yuga had ended in 1899. The time for battle was over. The new way is to Think our way to harmony and universal altruism.

During the main phase of Adulthood, I dedicated 15 years to Corporate Banking though I had not studied the subject at University. The excesses of intellectual thought-forms I met, were a wake-up call to continue my search. Graced by burn-out and various ailments, my search for a way to know Health-Care changed direction (again).

In the city parks of London at lunchtimes, I met Thomas - a homeless artist. We became friends (and still keep in touch via email). Seeing the kindness of local city businesses housing Thomas every night - out of their own free individual choice - inspired me to search for the source of this 'Love that houses people'. I was searching for the feeling of a light-filled loving 'Home' - an Art-making that enabled an inner sense of Homecoming, that cycled through soul searching.

During holidays to India, the US, and around Europe, I saw people sleeping on the streets without the bare essentials. I wanted to know how this had come to be. Conscience started to pose questions of me, that me to find a way to discern my part in inspiring change.

Becoming flexible enabled new Meanings to arise within the given ways of thinking about words. Fresh Wisdom could be redeemed.

In an ongoing way, new views of Love, Life, and Light are helping me to steadily embody - that which interweaves through individual Thinking, Feeling, and Willpower.

My path was not a linear one; it was one that cyclically touched into opportunities for facing truths - towards Self-Consciousness - with the Christ Being, for Anthroposophia.

This is why I do what I do - in collaboration with the people who find their way to my services.
