The Purpose of the Website The thought behind the creation of this particular site is to provide an outlet for my experiences in my search for that which lies behind what we take for reality - the physical/material world which, to a lot of people, is all there is. We are born, we die, and that is it. Over the millennia, however, humanity has used its intellect to progress on many fronts and the time is now ripe for the work done on the spiritual realm to blossom forth. About the Compiler Arnold Ward is a retired accountant who left England for Canada in 1952 and entered Australia in 1970 with his wife and two children. During his many moves in Canada and Australia he has been through a number of crises and met many individuals who exposed him to varied aspects of the world of metaphysics. On early retirement he and his wife Marie, who has been a constant inspiration to him, opened a residential healing centre in New South Wales, and then one in Western Australia. A lifelong interest in psychic phenomena and the spiritual side of life, which began in his late teens, was coupled with a deep interest in science. His interest in astrology led to a diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies (London) in the year 1977. Beginning in the early 1990's he took an interest in the beginnings of biotechnology as applied to plants and eventually became a founding member of the South Australian Genetic Food Information Network (SAGFIN). In 1999 he attended the 'Eating into the Future' conference held at the Adelaide Hilton. At a concurrent session he read a paper titled 'Genetic Engineering in a Spiritual Setting' which was subsequently published in The Beacon magazine. Reading of the Alice A. Bailey books opened up a much wider introduction to one of the means of spiritual growth and also introduced him to the course provided by the Arcane School. In his case this proved to be what he had been looking for as it broadened his opportunity for service to others. Part of that service is this site which has been created in the expectation that many who access it will find an opportunity to broaden their views of spirituality. One of the main purposes of the creation of the universe is to increase an individuals level of consciousness so that it can continually absorb, and use, an ever-widening perspective of life and its meaning. Chemicals and Effects on Health - This is a compilation of correspondence with an Australian government department and is presented here because of the spiritual implications of health. - This paper was published in the Jan/Mar issue of The Beacon magazine. A Time Of Choice For The World Over a period of time I have written a number of articles pertaining to spirituality, some of which have been published in magazines. My wife, Marie, came into this life with the facility to communicate, in full consciousness, with various discarnate entities. The writings consist of some 140 pages written between the years 1970 and 1987. A number of topics cover a wide range of experience. One visitor to our New South Wales healing centre was so impressed with their potential as a teaching guide she asked for a copy to use with a group she was leading. At my age it may be that there will only be one book, but the door is not closed as yet. From time to time thoughts drop into my consciousness that relate to ideas that might warrant investigation by anyone who is interested. My Contact Address |
