This is the story of how I came to write what I didn't know was to become my magnum opus,
And why I now plan to serialise it as a series of courses on Insight Timer.
Back in 2009 I wrote a book called Flavours of Thought,
Recipes for Fresh Thinking,
Which is inspired by and contemporises the major arcana of the tarot.
Around that time I was funding my own writings by mentoring other aspiring authors.
In March 2011 I gave an author a free hour of advice about her book.
She was a medium,
And I asked her for a reading in return,
As she knew nothing of me and might be able to give me some guidance that I had not thought about.
What came back was astounding,
And I've never shared it widely,
Until now,
That is.
As a result of the reading,
I penned a book in 2012 that contemporised the minor arcana of the tarot.
It was called Planes of Being Towards the Merged Mind.
Then loads of other books got in the way,
And I also found myself being a teacher on Insight Timer.
Over a decade later,
During 2022 and 2023,
I then wrote the third tome that brought all the threads together,
Whilst also expanding upon them considerably.
It is called The Book of Overstanding,
And to date I have not yet published it.
Together it is this trilogy of books that has become my magnum opus,
And the reading from the medium prophesied and inspired their creation.
So starting from Spring 2024,
You will find the three works appearing on Insight Timer,
Mainly in the form of courses.
The reason being is that the app gives me access to a large number of awakened souls,
For whom this work is primarily written.
The time is now.
So to give some context and exploration of what is to appear on Insight Timer over the coming months,
I will paraphrase the reading from the medium here.
She is called Martina.
This is what she wrote.
Finish the trilogy first.
This is of the utmost importance.
Do it with fervour.
He must do this first because of that which is about to come before him.
We say must because this is the writing that will support him on both the physical and mental planes,
To be able to succeed and overcome irreverent blight.
This is the one that wins self-acclaim and silences the critics.
This is the opener of doors he doesn't know of existence.
Tell him.
Finish the trilogy first,
Martina.
He has manifested a tangible tool,
Capable of being used by many in places of school and thought.
This is no insignificant project.
Born of love from the divine.
The original source is us.
The tarot is just his gateway,
His door.
This is not about the tarot.
This is about us.
Tell him it is us,
Martina,
The divine ones.
It is a tool of spiritual law,
A tangible tool,
To be marketed,
Sold.
Let him confess the truth to himself first and find his path and way for living with it.
This will always be his comfort and solace always.
He writes the word of the most divine enrobed.
By the names of the doorways to us.
Let it be known to him that which he receives is from the divine.
He is free to package it at will and need.
But for his own heart and love we tell him.
We are with him.
It is us.
It is I.
His manifestation of our word has and will touch many far and wide.
He has not yet seen his full worth or truce.
His words and actions are of the divine.
That is why he is different,
Like you,
Martina.
He has pondered long and hard to find.
His place,
His point,
His aspect.
It has caused him much worry and consternation.
Where do I fit in?
The truth is this.
It is he who has to make that place because it has never been there before.
Different even from the different ones.
Yes,
Like you,
Martina.
His die is cast and plans underway to melt those glaciers and meet the new frontiers of his life.
He has broken new ground and does all that is necessary.
To allow him the freedom to enjoy the journey he is allowed to enjoy as a man and a spirit.
He must enjoy being a human in order to achieve balance on all levels.
Without the human element,
The spirit does not grow and burn so brightly.
The tool is to be used in places of work,
Places of learning,
At all levels.
To be encompassed into a new school of thought which is in fact not new because it is of us.
It is the packaging which is new and ideal for this time and space right now.
It has to be packaged as a product which is easily accessible and usable by many to enable self-learning,
Development and growth through understanding.
Without understanding there is no learning.
Understanding is the key to removal of blocks,
Burdens,
Obstacles,
Restriction,
Imprisonment on all levels.
He has done so well in the way he has packaged the key.
Timely,
Usable,
Tangible.
A new man with a new tangible package both aptly placed for this time,
There,
Right now.
This is what he is.
This is who he is.
This is what he has got.
