Remember Stuart anyone? One of my favourite books in the nineties was "Whispering Winds of Change." He described the slow process of the stilling of the emotions beautifully: a process which takes us to a place where our "inner self is no longer completely blind." I know the dear man was half charlatan, half sage, but boy did he have insights. One workshop in London I went to with him, we sat in pairs in low light and each person imagined (s)he was in a different place, and lo and behold, the person in front of me disappeared! I also disappeared for the person I was paired with. What a demonstration of how we create the world that we see, indeed that the whole world is a creation of Consciousness - that ultimately there is nothing but consciousness. Eckhart Tolle and others have the same message of course and can convey the same experience but I liked the fireworks in Stuart Wilde's presentations: the craziness and confrontation that he offered. Bless you Stuart. I hope you are creating insights and trouble in equal measure in whatever dimension you now find yourself.

I have quite a few of his books and I find him fascinating. His ideas are really what lead me to become more interested in spirituality. His audio books are amazing as well. Thats so cool you got to meet him!!

Good to get a reply from you about Stuart Wilde. "Whispering Winds of Change" is my favourite book of his. I have read it several times. I think Stuart was alive in many ways and some of the phenomena he talked about - walking through walls and portals to other dimensions are tantalising, aren't they? I enjoyed the provocative nature of a lot of his messages. He had some welcome fire about him! What teacher(s) do you like these days? Adyashanti is probably my current favourite.

Is this the LOA guy or is there another Stuart Wilde?

Is LOA to do with Voodoo? If so, I don't know if Stuart Wilde was connected with that. He could probably be regarded as a healer and as a shaman. He was certainly someone who had visions, some triggered by Ayahuasca - he organised trips to Ecuador for the taking of that drug as I recall. His writings are still available on www.stuartwilde.com/ even though he died five years ago. |

Tea with Hitler
"Whatever you do ‘sell love’ but it has to be genuine and very deep, you can’t love people out of self interest because you want something from them, you have love them anyway for their humanity. I call it “Tea with Hitler.” So Adolph pops round for a cup o’ tea, can you be neutral and love him anyway and not mention the war? Can you sit there and compliment him on his elegant uniform and ask him questions in a tender way about his interests, his dog, art, Tibet, whatever? The more neutral you become the cleaner you become spiritually the more light you shine. Resentment, anger and self-importance = poverty. Humility, unconditional love and care for humanity = wealth. Easy. I know so many people that have gotten this principle down pat and made a fortune very quickly"

Sometimes honesty is loving, but, painful.  It's possible to offer opposition to cultural movements that lead to more human suffering, and to do it free of anger, resentment and self-importance. |

I guess there are many ways to deal with tyrants and narcissists. Reefs' excerpt from Stuart Wilde's writings made me laugh, and in many ways Stuart Wilde was a comedian and an entertainer as well as a teacher. That is not to say that laughing at dictators is the only approach, but it can be funny and it can be really subversive; think of Charlie Chaplin's treatment of dictators. Bless subversives everywhere.

Bless subversives everywhere. Stuart has some cool stuff. There's tons of it on youtube. Didn't know his books were published by Hay House - the publisher that also published the A-H stuff. |

Spiritual elitism
"There are a lot of money snobs out there: people who believe money is beneath them and that it’s not stylish or proper to go for the cash. They are elitists at heart, so they seek to elevate themselves above the concerns of common people by feigning a disregard for the things that concern ordinary folk. Things like earning a living and turning a buck. Sometimes this elitism is a social-class thing. Sometimes it’s a form of spiritual elitism, where a person feels far too holy-moly to be dealing with the trappings of the real world. Don’t be a money snob—unless, of course, you’ve inherited millions—then you can do what you like. The rest of us have to deal with life day to day, and money is a part of taking responsibility and accepting the system."
- Stuart Wilde

"Springtime for Hitler" is a great song. It makes fun of Hitler and the Nazis. These dictators don't like comedians. Humour is such a strong weapon against the pompousness, seriousness and sheer nastiness of authoritarianism. When we have heaven on earth, there will be a lot of laughter along with dance and singing and music.
