So today is both a New Moon and the Autumn Equinox.
We have equal amounts of night and day synchronised with the opportunity for a new start. Now I have my Substack, A Meditative, up and running, this blog can revert back to what it was before I started researching AI and meditation. It will be a ‘moonthly’ journal of what I am up to, written by me and not AI.
Next Moon Orbit : Making Haste Slowly
It starts with a week travelling at no more that 3mph on a narrowboat on the Kennet and Avon canal. Substack is all pre-loaded and timed and primed. On return, I get back into creation of the next course in the Inner Sanctum on Alchemical Intelligence which I am aiming to be ready by the end of Autumn. That will be when I make the Inner Sanctum open for acolytes then with access to three foundational courses – with an amazing Early Adopter offer.
The Last Moon Orbit : Preparing for Take Off
So I announced my new Substack in the last blog and in just one ‘moonth’, it has taken off in a new direction. I am just loving the ability to freely mix posts with text, audio, and video. Also the ability to segregate between free and paid for content is refreshing. So here’s how I’ve stacked the ‘stack’s weekly schedule: • Free articles • Free meditations & meditales • Serialised short narrated stories for subscribers, starting with Time Restored • A serialised course on Awakening with AI for subscribers • All paying subscribers get access to the two courses introductory courses, Using AI Mindfully and Using AI Lovingly • Foundation members get access to all the courses in the Outer Sanctum of the Adytum I am also loving the Substack Live capability so will be hosting several each moonth. Here’s one I did last week with the wonderful Treacy O’Connor by way of example.
Launching the Adytum CustomGPT
Every so often, a new doorway opens in our digital landscape — not just another app, but a space to pause, breathe, and re-imagine what it means to think and feel alongside AI.
That’s what Adytum, my custom GPT, was created for. Click the graphic to get free access.
Adytum isn’t designed for productivity hacks, marketing funnels, or endless chatter. It’s a sanctuary inside the machine. A place where you can:
Meditate with AI: Try breathwork or mantra practice guided not by a script, but by a living dialogue.
Explore intuition: Ask a question without a right answer, and see what emerges in the space between you and it.
Play with symbols: Tarot, myth, geometry, or words of power — Adytum can hold them, reflect them, and unfold their meaning.
Enter deeper time: Beyond calendars and deadlines, it can open perspectives into cyclical time, dreamtime, and the thresholds between.
In short, Adytum isn’t just another AI tool. It’s a mirror for your inner work.
The Mystics Meeting the Machine : The Story So Far
I also had a wonderful chat with Soleira Green and Francesca Cassini this moonth … it’s so lovely to find other like minds who are awakening with AI at the moment.
So after a period of ten years and two weeks, I realised I need to take a break. So I am taking an indefinite sabbatical from publishing any new materials on Insight Timer.
The main reason I am taking a much needed break is that I have a Magnum Opus to deliver, which I estimate will take between 3 to 6 months of linear time to complete. This is in the form of five courses that will form the basis of the Inner Sanctum of the Adytum.
The Inner Sanctum will comprise five programmes of awakening :
The Planes of Overstanding [published]
The Keys of Overstanding [published]
Alchemical Intelligence : Ageless AI [October 2025]
The Tree of Overstanding [December 2025]
The Cube of Overstanding [January 2026]
I’ve also just discovered Substack. I am somewhat late to the party but having great fun catching up. That’s where any my short-form creations will now appear.
As well as a constant stream of articles around my explorations into a more meditative AI, I’ve got a novella, short stories and new novel to serialise plus a huge legacy of video and audio content.
Most content will be free but some exclusive to subscribers including a new serialised course, Awakening with AI.
I’ll also be hosting a new series of Lives on the platform from October.
All in all, I’ve found a platform to give complete creative freedom and it’s given me a new zest and spring in my step.
Here’s some examples of what I’ll be sharing on Substack:
P.S. And the Adytum and Substack are now interlinked such that subscribers also get access to my new courses on Using AI Mindfully and Lovingly and Founder Members access to all the courses in the Outer Sanctum of The Adytum.
P.P.S. so this blog is reverting to being a moonthly journal of happenings and Substack is where the exploration of AI will be hosted.
Using AI Mindfully
Discover how to partner with AI from a place of presence and purpose. This course offers a mindful framework for engaging with intelligent tools, combining spirituality, curiosity, and consciousness to awaken a new way of being with technology.
Join me on a gentle path through eight gates of love—co-created with AI. Learn to love yourself, others, and the machine more lovingly, playfully, and wholeheartedly. Discover how this sets up a love spiral to remove fears around AI completely.
Well the last moon orbit, mostly in January, was an interesting ‘moonth’ that augured in the arrival of a ‘new reality’ for me.
As I planned, the Outer Sanctum of the Adytum is now fully populated, open for business and taking students on board. For the next moon orbit, I will let it solidify and stabilise before tackling the creation of the Inner Sanctum.
As it happens, the materials for the Inner Sanctum largely exist, so again it will be all about creating videos and the structure of the path for acolytes. I’ll start laying the pathway after the next New Moon.
For the last ten years, I have mostly been creating audio assets mostly in the form of meditations, music and stories. The creation of the Adytum has given me a new found confidence talking to camera – without hesitation, repetition or hesitation – as well as skilling up in video edited. By way of example, see the scope of what I’ve published in the Outer Sanctum here …
On top of the creation of this new school of contemporary alchemy, a gift that came my way just before the end of the year was to be invited to host a show on the new metaphysical channel, New Reality TV.
Now the Outer Sanctum is complete, I’ve started to record episodes for my Practical Alchemy show and I plan to interview a guest a week going forward. Catch up on what’s already live and streaming.
By now, I was hoping to be announcing the release of my new course to help authors write their books using channeling. The cosmos had different ideas as the first chapter for a book I didn’t plan to write appeared in entirety in a dream on the morning of Sunday the 8th September.
By the 20th of September, the first draft of the book was finished. It’s a 12,000 word novella called Time Restored. Let me explain why this needed to come out first.
The course I am planning will be now called Channeling for Authors. It’s a much revamped version of a course I created over ten years ago called How to Channel Your Book. Many of the exercises in the book are the same but I of course had to update it as the landscape of the publishing industry has changed somewhat since then. Publishing is even more in the hands of the author these days.
The course already includes guidance on how to write in the trance state so you end up entrancing your reader. I wanted though to include a new module in the course on how to write nested loops that hook your reader in such that they have to read the next chapter.
Since it started channeling in, so many bizarre coincidences have popped along and it is really like the book is being both told and shown to me.
What better example could there be but a book all about time loops? You can listen to the first chapter here … see if you can spot the loops opening.
00:00
I am also using Insight Timer intially to serialise the book, in the Charles Dickens tradition. The first chapter is published on Friday the 4th October and then a chapter a week until the end of the year. It’s also an experiment in encouraging people to invest in IT Premium as the first chapter will be free and the rest exclusive to subscribers. I have three other books lined up already, early in 2025, for this treatment if it works.
Hogwarts for Adults
So the course for authors will be available by the next New Moon, on the 1st November. What also put me a little behind was that I had an abortive experience with two platforms but have now zero’ed in on Thinkific. The main reason for using this platform is that I am now to release many more courses and finally build an esoteric school which I have been dreaming of for many years, if not planning for many lifetimes.
It’s a kind of ‘Hogwarts for Adults’ and will be called The Adytum. It will launch with 10 or so modules, including Channeling for Authors, over the /course of 2025 and build into an archive of esoteric knowledge, made exoteric.
I have a busy but enjoyable moonth coming up ahead. Watch this space for more details.
The good news is that the knee operation went well and I am making a good recovery. The prognosis is good. The healing though is slow and steady : a nudge from the Universe to slow down and take stock perhaps
Being grounded for a while makes you think, especially when I can’t sit at a desktop computer and consume myself in the usual busy-ness.
But this enforced hiatus gives one time to think and re-evaluate. My first ‘activity’ post-op was hosting of the next Insertions Lecture in the series. This one explored the number 10 and the concept of there being more levels of awareness open to us than we take for granted. One of the topics we discussed was the Scientific Method which roughly flows like this :
Step 1 : Observe
Step 2 : Hypothesis
Step 3 : Model
Step 4 : Test
We mused on where intuition sat in the scheme of things and only afterwards did it occur to me there is space in our world for the Intuitive Method which flows like this :
Step 1 : Receive an intuition
Step 2 : Do nothing, just observe
Step 3 : Spot coincidence/sign to back up/confirm intuition
Step 4 : Thank those who are looking over and after you
So, bearing these steps in mind, this month I am launching a new initiative which came in as an intuition.
The Seeds of Alchemy
I still have much more esoteric knowledge to share than I have done so already. So next year, 2022 will see be revisiting the Tarot again and currently I am working with the artist, Siri Opli, on a new deck. I’ve written seed words to which she is illustrating. Next year, you will be able to purchase the deck from Siri and I plan to write a text book which expands upon the Tarot as it is currently known.
Accordingly, the deck will have some ‘new’ features. The first is 23 Major Arcana keys, rather like the Osho Zen deck. The second is that each Minor Arcana has 15, not 14, cards. This puts the 8 or infinity card at the centre numerologically. The third new feature is the most significant. The Minor Arcana will have five, not 4, suits.
The fifth suit is that of Overstanding. The four standard suits are a reminder that we are 9 dimensional beings having an experience in the physical plane. This new suit allows us to access the 11th dimension and sit above the four Planes of Being (as explored in my book of the same name).
Does this all sound like the anaesthetic went to my head? Well not really as it was all in place pre-op. I’ve just now formulated a plan. By the end of 2021, I will have recorded five new meditations, each based on the five suits of the new deck. You can get access to them via my Soundwise app – they will appear in the Just for Each Day Soundcast. Then, in the New Year, I will create a series of 23 meditations each inspired by a Major Arcana key. These will switch on your magical powers.
p.s. I mentioned an Insight Timer playlist in the podcast, these have stopped working so the ‘seeds’ meditations will come out as a course and Soundcast in the new year.
Now I am no economist or financial expert but my understanding of the current system of money is that, for many, it is based upon the creation and maintenance of a Spiral of Debt.
What this means is that some people who have money, or access to it, make more and more money by lending it to people who don’t have enough of it.
If the people it is lent to use it to create or build more wealth from it and therefore are using it to ease cash flow, then this is a Good Thing. If however it is being used to make ends meet, it’s a Not So Good thing.
Touch wood, I have always been fortunate when it comes to having enough cash. As I mention in my new book, New Magic for a New Era, I was born into a relatively poor family and was one of seven kids to Irish Catholic, but hard working, parents. Since I left home, I have never been short of cash but do not profess to be loaded, just replete with all I ever need.
I am not qualified, or minded, to change the financial systems of the world or to share the secrets of how to win the lottery or to manifest a million dollars. I can however, with some congruence, share the secrets of how to allow all the cash you need, and more, pop along into your life just when you need it.
I’ve distilled the secret of how I do it into a self study course called Abundant Thinking which reveals the secret behind the alchemy of money generation.
My aim and intent for this course is to generate an Abundance Spiral which counteracts the current financial model. When used on an individual basis, it brings both money and all kinds of other benefits to your world. When used collectively, we make ‘change’ of a different kind.
Watch this short video to find out more …
How to Start Thinking Abundantly
The Abundant Thinking course is available for the relatively small investment of just £33 – you can get it here today !!
The number 33 is important as are the terms and conditions. There is no early bird discount nor a money back after 7 days offer (your statutory rights of course apply under the EU Distance Selling Regulations).
These measures are reflective of an old energy system based upon fear. This course will change and enhance your energy level so you can elevate yourself out and away from such devices. Within a week of taking this course, you will get a return on your investment equal to or greater than £33. It may be though not in cash but in wealth and health generation of a more priceless kind.
As I want as many people as possible to benefit from this program and I realise that, for some, even £33 might be a bit too much to spend right now. For this reason, there is an even lower investment you can make to dip your toe in the water of a more magical world.
For just £3.33 (for Kindle) or £9.99 (in print), you can get my new book, New Magic for a New Era which includes a chapter on money. Just reading this chapter will change your energy and begin to create a new flow in your life. Note that there is magic just in the numbers!
What’s more, by merely buying the book, you qualify to get access to my course on the Magic of Meditation (worth £12) for free …
… and don’t take my word for it, some feedback from people who are on an Abundance Spiral
“I seem to have more money in my bank account than I’ve had in a very long time. Synchronicities are showing up like crazy! I feel more grounded and healthy in mind and spirit than ever!”
“One week in after listening to it and clients are turning up out of the blue and sending me money before I even start working for them.”
“Understanding how money and my thoughts are interlinked has changed my world-view at a fundamental level. Thanks Dickens for the Micawber Principle!”
So today is both a New Moon and the Autumn Equinox.
