People get so hung up on the word ‘God’. If you were to ask somebody who said they were spiritual whether they said they believed in God, they might say no, but for me the two are inseparable. God is not a person-type-thing with rules and opinions and criteria to get to Heaven. This is all society’s interference.
The humanisation of God in religious texts is merely a way of...

I really love songs like Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory, but I’m made to feel guilty about it because of how nationalistic they’re seen to be. I don’t think I should feel guilty, though. I don’t value England or the UK above any other countries. I’m guessing I interpret the lyrics of the songs in a more liberal way than other people do, but for me they’re...

We’re so ridiculously lucky to be in a time and a place where we’re not oppressed. I am privileged to be completely free, and yet I sit here doing shit all, being selfish, wasting away doing unimportant things, as if not even appreciating my freedom at all. I want to be able to say that I’ve done good in the world.

I became aware, as my eyes met yours, that whilst you were surrounded by boundaries of thick glass, you were not contained by them; nor by even your own flesh, as I am not contained by mine.
I became aware that you were an expression of me, but I had forgotten that there is no ‘you’ apart from ‘I’.
I became aware.
People do not seem to realise that their opinion of the world is also a...

I feel disconnected recently. All my emotions have dulled too. I really need to get back into a healthy routine that includes meditation and nature! They make me feel so much better.

I don’t think I’m anti-capitalist any more. I’m not pro-capitalist either, though.
I’m against big corporations influencing politics and I would always vote Labour (the furthest left of the mainstream British political parties) but I think at the end of the day, you don’t need to buy things you don’t need. It’s your...

There’s now a dead bird out there. My garden has become a high-crime area.
There was just a fight between a magpie, a collared dove, a pigeon, two blackbirds and a sparrow in my garden. They all just kept going after each other and trying to eat the bread we put out. It lasted like ten minutes.
I have seen terrible things.
Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see...

I’ve listened to the entirety of Blue four times today. Oh Joni, why you so brilliant?
Just because you enjoy spirituality does not mean that you believe in the legitimacy of tarot cards and crystal healing or that anything will change in December 2012. You can still hold loyalty to science.
