Living Spirit Show – The Masculine / Feminine Polarity
November 27, 2009 by Ray Baskerville · 3 Comments
In this episode Alison Miller and I talk about the masculine / feminine polarity. We cover it’s radical imbalance in humanity at this time and the potential consequences of this imbalance. Naturally we also go into being men and women and the challenges of overcoming social conditioning and integrating and harmonizing the masculine and feminine in us.
I also talk about now being in the role of a father with a young boy and how I approach parenting to instill a healthy relationship to both his masculine and feminine energies. We also discuss some of the causes of wounding in both masculine and feminine polarities that we all carry and can all be part of healing now.

Mahatma Ghandi, Yoko Ono & Seva Art
November 25, 2009 by Ray Baskerville · Leave a Comment
What do Mahatma Gandhi, Yoko Ono and Doctors without Borders have in common? a: 5yearplan.org.
Yoko Ono will be one of 20 artists whose work will make up a unique silk screened, hand bound, handloom khadi cotton cloth book. Each book comes with a handloom khadi jhola shoulder bag.
65 copies will be signed by all the artists and only 500 copies total will be made. All profits from sales will go to Doctors without Borders (MSF) and to fund the next 5yearplan project.
The 5 year plan is an ongoing effort to re-orient art and art production towards generosity and participation, while bridging cultures. In honour of Mahatma Ghandi the 5 year plan is undertaken as ’seva’ (selfless service). The cloth for the books comes from the Ghandi Ashram Collectives, which help millions of rural villagers survive by sustaining local industries and agriculture.
The 5yearplan website is in itself a work of art – check it out.

What Is Living Liberation?
November 25, 2009 by Ray Baskerville · 1 Comment
What is Living Liberation? In essence it is the culmination of 20 years of spiritual practice and working with hundreds of clients doing Spiritual healing. It is the understanding of life itself as a spiritual process, that there is in fact nothing else going on.
But,,, you may be thinking….. there are thousands of things going on and not very many of them look like a spiritual development. And you are quite right, they do not ‘look like’ spiritual evolution if we don’t understand it’s principles. And let’s face it, most of us don’t look at life that way, but then, we have probably never been taught how.
Living Liberation will show you exactly what the principles of life as a spiritual process are, and more, will give you tools to integrate this understanding into how you live your life.
At it’s heart Living Liberation teaches you a meditation practice. It’s purpose is to practice the principles of conscious healing and awakening – the spiritual process of life. This is done in six components, designed to be added weekly. This is not because the meditation is complicated, but to give time for each component to be understood and integrated.
Accompanying each meditation component is a commentary and workbook to further connect your understanding of the principle being practiced into everyday life.
Living Liberation has been both a workshop and course since 1992. I have taught it in England, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia and the USA. On the web page you will see testimonials from people who have learnt it, real people, honest feedback so don’t just take my word for it that this course works.
Not being American I do not have much association with the celebration of Thanks Giving, but living here now it has become part of my life.
So in the spirit of the occasion I am offering a $30 discount on the Living Liberation™ home study course.
To get your $30 discount use code THANKFUL
Have a blessed Thanks Giving

I am joined again for this show by Alison Miller. We start by discussing the article I wrote about new findings that support my view that a culture of always putting on a happy face and having positive thoughts is unhealthy.
We delve further into the nature of love and our relationship with it, how our ideas about it are conditioned and how we can grow into a more authentic relationship with love and ourselves and arrive at a grounded and authentic spirituality.

November 6, 2009 by Ray Baskerville · Leave a Comment
In this weeks show we talk about how the wounding of separation consciousness shows up as ‘the critical parent’ our inner critic and the common ego polarity between power and powerless. We look at some ways we will all be familiar with through which these issues show up in life. We also discuss the ego’s disposition to manipulation and discuss how we can overcome these tendencies of the ego and become more conscious.
I have to confess that I do most of the talking this week, in part because a large part of how the conversation began was Alison sharing something she had recently experienced. On reflection we felt this part was too personal for public release, and it was edited out. Don’t forget to share your thought with us and send us issues, questions you would like to see addressed in future editions.

It has become an increasingly dominant belief that positive thinking is necessary for health, wealth and success in all things. But a new study* by psychology professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales, says ‘it ain’t necessarily so’.
The study has found that feeling sad makes people less gullible, improves their ability to judge others and also boosts memory. It seems that people in a negative state are more critical of, and pay more attention to, their surroundings than happier people. The happy folk it seems are more likely to believe what they are told.
Dr Forgas said "Whereas positive mood seems to promote creativity, flexibility, cooperation, and reliance on mental shortcuts, negative moods trigger more attentive, careful thinking paying greater attention to the external world,"
He went on to add "Our research suggests that sadness … promotes
