With the presence of a generation of people that have faced more change than any other generation that has ever walked the face of this planet before them - comes a need for a new view of spirituality.

With the fall of the pillars of the old world (the church, ‘big’ business, politics, the ‘old’ media) and the age of masculine energies and with the rise of the new feminine age of communication and collaboration (the Age of the Heart) - a new view of who we are, our purpose and the place that we have in Creation is being sought. Rebel Souls is about creating a fellowship of collaborators, facilitators, mentors and seekers who wish to walk a new path of spiritual enlightenment.

The philosophy of a Rebel Soul is that the Creator/Observer - the Divine Principle - ‘God’ - however you may term it - is an imperfect creator.

It is not perfect - for to be perfect is to be sterile - It is in fact evolving It’s infinite potential. Therefore It is in the process of constantly perfecting and It is doing so by being creation (as we understand it and of which we are a part) and able to perceive creation from outside of creation (both immanent and transcedent). This means two things - forgiveness is ours to take and we are co-creators of creation itself.

The ‘Great Work’ of humanity is therefore for each individual to take responsibility to evolve their most ‘perfected’ self before they move on in their spiritual journey and to assist others to do the same. In doing so, we serve the Creator by assisting in It’s own evolution. The ‘created’ working in tandem with the ‘creator’. (As Above So Below - As below So Above)

With values and teachings grounded in ancient ways and hopes for a brighter future of co-operation, community, collaboration and prosperity the philosophy of a Rebel Soul is a philosophy of personal development and spiritual evolution.

To do so we walk 4 Paths to integration and perfecting - the Path of the Warrior, the Path of the Healer, the Path of the Mystic and the Path of the Fool.

We are surrounded by images of perfection.

Everywhere we look we can see images of perfect bodies, lives, cars, clothes, holidays, families, businesses people and so forth. But that’s all they are - just images - graphically enhanced, distorted and shaped to create unfulfilled desire and the urgent need to sacrifice all, even life itself, to fill what is (and can only be) an empty promise, formed of an empty image.

What broken relationships and lives are left behind by the relentless pursuit of the material things that convey the outward signs of success? Things can be fun, great fun - but for a time only. Even the most perfect dream will end if it is based on the pursuit of the material alone because we are on an unending spiritual quest.

The desire that these things are supposed to fulfill, can only truly be fulfilled by looking within and not without.

Consider perfection for a moment. Something that is perfect has reached it’s pinnacle of being. What does it become then? Does it stop being? Does something that is perfect eventually become sterile, unchanging and eventually uninteresting and then begin to stagnate and corrupt? Becoming a shadow of it’s former self.

It is said that life is a journey. Which means that we walk a path that leads us, not to some perfect place or being, but on an unending journey of perfecting. When we realise that we are walking the path of perfecting and not perfection, life makes more sense and we can view the world with eyes that see all things as transitory and their value and meaning to us becomes what we choose to take from our interaction with them - how we choose to let them effect us.

Perfection and all the people who would tell you that your satisfaction, acceptance and love comes from being an acquirer of something, is a lie and are liars. Only by being an experiencer , by being an active part of creation, by being a creator of memories shared and experienced, only from this can we evolve to be who we truly are and take our place in the Great Work that we are here to do.

When we come to realise it is not things but experiences that brings us wisdom, self-understanding and self-acceptance ,then we truly have begun to live the life of a spiritual warrior and to create our own personal legend in the annals of the world.
