Light Leadership

Altazar Rossiter

Every one of us has an inbuilt lie detector … the heart. It’s an inherent energy sensitive organ that tells what’s true and what isn’t. Its response is instant. It tells you what’s aligned with the flow of your energy … and what isn’t. It tightens in the presence of insincerity, deceit and general wrongness. It relaxes in the presence of truth. I was encouraged and schooled to ignore this phenomenal device as I adjusted to the social imperatives of the culture I inhabit. Like most kids I learned that telling the truth was a dangerous pastime. It provoked criticism, judgement, humiliation and punishment if I shared doubts about what those in authority said was true. Adults around me would often go into melt-down if they were exposed to any truth that undermined their beliefs. So protecting them from that experience had an element… Read moreLight Leadership

THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

Altazar Rossiter

I remember my first “dark night of the soul”. And yes there has been more than one. They seem to be an intrinsic part of the personal transformation journey. But the first one was the most intense, perhaps because it was an experience that nothing could prepare me for. I was in complete mental and emotional melt-down. Everything I was familiar with in an everyday normal sense of things lost its significance. I could barely function. My mind was spinning. I didn’t know who I was, what I should do or what anything meant in the world. Of course, I was overstressed and burned out. And the everyday normal thing to do would have been go to my doctor and get some medication … so I could carry on fitting into my version of normality. THE SLOW DEATH … The trouble was my version… Read moreTHE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

A CHALLENGING REFLECTION ON A DIFFICULT SUBJECT …

Altazar Rossiter

I’ve always found this self-reflection stuff challenging, which is the surest sign that there’s something for me to learn from it. I see some very ugly problems in the world, and I certainly don’t want to accept that they’re in anyway a reflection of me. BUT … One of the important aspects of this phenomenon that I have learned, is that the reflection is somehow indirect. It’s distorted in some way … upside down, magnified, twisted … So I have to explore it and decode it, a bit like a clue in a crossword puzzle. Perhaps one of the nastiest issues that I don’t want to consider in relation to myself, is the trafficking of children; the violation of their innocence and their disappearance on an almost industrial scale. Children are farmed for organ replacement, and for slaughter in ritual sacrifice. None of this… Read moreA CHALLENGING REFLECTION ON A DIFFICULT SUBJECT …

The Culture of Slavery

Altazar Rossiter

In our sanitised, everyday, civilised world nobody owns slaves any more. Slavery and forced labour were abolished over 200 years ago in Britain, so it’s perhaps surprising that the practice was not fully outlawed worldwide till 1981.
However, notwithstanding its abolition, slavery persists under the surface of many cultural norms. Acceptance of those norms is often a requisite of good citizenship.
