DISCOVERING YOUR TRUE NATURE
A practical exploration of meaning, presence, and personal sovereignty.
Welcome to the Spiritual Bloke
Most of us aren’t looking for enlightenment — we’re looking for clarity.
A way to live with a bit more honesty, a bit more presence, and a whole lot less noise.
The Spiritual Bloke is a space for grounded conversation about what it means to be human in a fast, chaotic world. Not theory. Not performance. Just the lived, practical wisdom that actually helps — the kind you can carry into your work, your relationships, and your inner life.
This work grows out of decades of quiet study, lived experience, and inner exploration — shared not as answers, but as tools that have helped me walk my own path with more meaning, presence, and personal sovereignty.
If you feel the pull toward something deeper — something real — then you’re in the right place.
Take a breath. Settle in. Let’s walk this inward road together.

What you’ll find here is an evolving body of work — essays, stories, and conversations — exploring:
-
Meaning and purpose beyond performative masculinity
-
Living in alignment rather than constant striving
-
Spiritual inquiry without dogma
-
The ordinary courage required to live well
Some pieces are practical, some are reflective, all are written from lived experience, not theory.
Change the only Constant
Many years ago I was in Byron Bay Australia and a sign out the front of the Church spoke volumes on this subject it said: Everybody wants to change the world. Few People want to change themselves. And right there is the problem. Change is the probably the most...
The Rush is Manufactured — And It’s Killing Our Souls
The Rush is Manufactured — And It’s Killing Our Souls We weren’t meant to live like this. Snatching life in five-minute fragments.Scrolling through meaning.Crashing into bed after 12 hours of being “productive”… and still feeling behind. I remember when I first caught...
Your Thoughts Don’t Create Your Reality — Your Choices Do
You’ve heard the mantra: “Your thoughts create your reality.”It’s been stitched into vision boards, self-help books, and Instagram tiles for decades. But let’s pause. Because while it’s not entirely wrong… it’s also not quite true. It’s not our thoughts that shape the...
Can you hear it ? (Poems from a Scorpio Full Moon)
Can you hear it, that noise gnawing at your soul? Do you feel its tiny teeth slowly nibbling away at the foundation of your illusion, washing away the footings of a castle built on sand, lapping at your feet, calling you like a sirens song to your own inevitable...
A Controlled Corptocracy not a Free Market Economy
I find it curious that so many, apparently educated people jump up and down about free market capitalism whenever some socially responsible agenda or suggestion is put forth. They howl words like Socialism, Communism, Marxism and big government control, and whilst...
Humanity is Insane
Sitting in silence the veils part and I am witness to a world gone mad.
Petty tyrants split atoms to make weapons of power whilst my people starve and freeze upon ground made barren by fear and greed.
Children, dark of skin, wither to dust when in the west others bloat on slop even animals won’t call food.
Who am I
From my original About page ... About who? This is always the existential question … “About What” is easy to answer … The “What” is quantifiable whereas the “Who” is never so … The “Who” is moment to moment … so unless you are ready to open the door to the depths of...
War and Poverty
Today Israel and Palestine are bombing the hell out of each other. Missiles rain down across borders like children throwing stones across a fence … only the stones are ballistic missiles that are designed to kill as many as possible… though the behavior is still that of emotional children.
Eve of the Venus Transit
There was a time not so long ago when we came in voices of one’s and two’s. We came to remind the world of who we are, of the great potential of humanity. Now many have come, different lands, different times. Jesus the Nazarene, Siddartha Guatama the Buddha, Muhammad,...
What if there was more to life?
It’s the question that visits us in the still moments — the sense that something deeper is waiting just beneath the surface. Here, we explore that space with curiosity and honesty through robust, grounded conversations about being human.
