Love Life and Destiny

They say that everyone has at least one book within them. At the end of July, I managed to finish and then self publish my first book Love, Life and Destiny on Amazon after a great effort to get the work completed. I imagine it was like the experience of giving birth for the very first time and I was surprised how genuinely painful it was! Originally, I had set down a series of notes on Facebook on the various episodes in my most recent past for my friends to read. The common element of the stories was the rather remarkable series of coincidences that my life was beginning to throw up. I am sure that many of us have these types of encounters but we merely shrug them off as things that come along once in a while, we only notice them as we are more open than usual to accepting the meaning behind them. This blog was started so long ago when I had a different plan for my life. The content has fluctuated according to my state of mind and my desire to write. Completely by chance I

My name is Christopher Luke and I am a Spiritual Nomad. These are the famous words that start any Alcoholics Anonymous session so I guess that I am confessing to an addiction. Spirituality, an addiction? Yes, for some it is. I have been quiet these last few days after a very active period when I was writing constantly and building my nascent web pages.

I have come to my current position in life through challenging the words 'Who Am I?'. I need to know what purpose lies behind my living this life and

In February 2008, I travelled to Mumbai to visit a friend. It was cool and very pleasant as I sat on the sea wall on Marine Boulevard looking out over the Arabian Sea. Next thing I knew was a young map seller sitting next to me. With his wild black hair, sparkling eyes and gentle manner, Raj had entered my world. He wanted me to buy a map for 500 rupees (about £8), not a great deal of money, a gr eat deal in India. He obviously felt that I was a good bet for a sale. We talked. He spoke about his life as a Rajput who had left home to find his fortune for he needed the money to marry his long time sweetheart. He showed me a picture of a ravishing beauty and immediately I could see why he yearned to put his world right. He spoke about the poor place that he lived in, and the crushing obstacles that he faced everyday to sell overpriced maps with so much going to his boss. I had no need of a map. I was travelling light but in my pocket was 10,000 rupees (about £160). I

“What day is it?"

Have you had a chat with your Higher Self recently? Its always a good thing to do if you are finding Life challenging right now. After all, your Soul knows where it is going even if you do not! There are a number ways of 'chatting' ~ listening to your intuition more closely, meditating and see what comes, getting close to Nature and grounding. What is most essential is that 'You' have to be present which means being in the here and now and open to listening ....
