and Signs of Our Times

 

A Oneness of Mind (book cover)FOREWORD by Hamish Miller

 

INTRODUCTION

1: ARMAGEDDON AND HOW TO AVOID IT

In the heady days of 1998, Millennium fever and end-of-the-world doomsday prophecy was beginning to grip the ‘alternative’ world as the year 2000 approached. With the media full of talk of the potential disasters which could befall humankind, was there a danger that the negative energy generated by all this gloom could, in itself, bring about the feared scenarios?

2: POSITIVE LIVING AND THE NEGATIVE WORLD

Expanding on the concept of the collective mind affecting the material world, first explored in the Armageddon presentation, Andy took the idea out further in 1999 to look at the wider implications of this process in our day to day lives. If positive thinking can hold such power, what terrible harm results from the negative thoughts and images western society continually surrounds itself with?

3: CONSPIRACY AND HOW TO LIVE WITH IT

In 2000, everyone in the ‘alternative community’ was talking about lizards. Shape-shifting extra-terrestrial lizards, that is, taking over the world from their positions of power and influence. Other global conspiracy theories fought for their place alongside. But what real difference does believing in such shadowy threats make to the situation? If conspiracy is all around, how do we deal with it in our day to day lives?

4: POWER AND HOW WE GIVE IT AWAY

Flowing from some of the themes explored in the ‘Conspiracy’ presentation, in 2001 Andy decided to examine the way we give away our decision-making to the media, gurus, channelled entities, religions and lifestyle experts, disempowering ourselves in so many ways. Some say the reality of the things they believe in is too strong not to be genuine, but could it be that the power of faith and self-belief actually creates strata of consciousness that take on a life of their own?

5: WORLD WAR THREE AND OTHER NON-EVENTS

In the post-September 11th summer of 2002, with the Taliban crushed, it was becoming clearer that America and Britain weren’t going to stop there. As plans were drawn up to make trouble for Iraq as a follow-up (coming to horrible fruition just months later), a climate of fear was being deliberately cranked up, leading many to shivers that a third global conflict was in the offing. But how much was fear-based illusion over reality, and what effect was that fear having on the collective consciousness?
