SOUL IS WHOLE

We spend our entire lives (and perhaps many of them) trying to get back home. The bizarre reality is that home is in you now, always and forever. Home is not elsewhere or in another (although it can feel that way at times). The freedom of knowing and being who you really are (in the deepest sense) is the realisation of home.

When you look at nature, you can see that beauty all around AND within you. When you look at people, you can see the beautiful in you is also in everyone. When you have touched this beauty inside long enough to no longer doubt its presence, your mind is no longer driven to rationalise if it exists ---- because it's just there. It just is. You can sense it, feel it, and may become full or fulfilled by the awareness of it.

That home and sense of real connection is what I call the Soul. It is the Universal Individual or UNIVIDUAL which is the next deepening of consciousness for humankind. It is a wonderful adventure and an illogical mystery that everyone may realise.

Only your Soul is Whole. Only your Soul really knows. It doesn't know in the way of the rational mind, but if communication comes from the Soul, then it may be translated via the rational mind to varying degrees. In the consciousness of the Soul (SOULNESS) - all is included and accepted. This is the only way to Freedom. If we accept all our experiences, then, in time, only the Real remains.

The Soul can see your weaknesses and strengths, the Soul can recognise all planes of consciousness, because it connects and senses all the way from the Ego to the Divine. The old way of the mind would seek to identify with one area alone (such as Ego and Ego-less or Duality and Non-Duality) - but the Soul is free to move, free to experience any and all dimensions of human beingness.

If you listen to your Soul everyday, you will recognise its wisdom, and it will come closer and closer to you, until one day you will not be able to find the Soul because it will be known to be YOU. The idea of self and Self will dissolve and you will be living in harmony with Universal Intelligence. This means you will be acting for the whole. Rather like a tree is being a tree, or a flower is being a flower, --- you will be being YOU.

About Jonathan ...

Born in southern England in the mid 60's, by the early 1980's Jonathan's deep love of music was expressed through singing and songwriting. After the usual band circuits and gigs, he came into contact with London based Hard Times Productions, forming a positive rewarding relationship which resulted in the release of several records, publishing deals, session work, funded projects, jingles, TV advertising, media interviews and an interesting short stint as the lead singer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood (following the departure of lead singer Holly Johnson). At the close of his music career in 1990 he was awarded a double gold disc for his contribution to the Telstar compilation album "Get on This 2", which went to number 2 in the UK album charts.

From 1997 onwards he underwent a series of prolonged transformational experiences which radically altered his consciousness, causing him to look closely at human identity while becoming directly aware of what he calls the “Divine I-less nature of reality”.

In the early millennium years he spent extended periods of time dissolved in “Oneness” which yielded a profound holistic awareness.

In 2005, he made what he describes as an “illogical yet choiceless” decision to give up all commercial interests. Jonathan, together with his wife Wendy, and friend Sharon Jeffries subsequently found and restored an old Armagnac farm in Gascony, South West France from where they hosted workshops and retreats - a place called “The Dubon Centre of Healing and Awareness”.

Never having 'written' before, and following a mystical near death experience in early 2007, he penned his first book "We Are All One: A call to spiritual uprising". Written in just six days, the critically acclaimed book was awarded the Allbooks International Editors Choice Award (USA) in the Spirituality & Inspiration category.

Over the last few years Jonathan has appeared on numerous radio shows across North America including: ‘Sound Authors’ – World Talk Radio with Kent Gustavson, The Nancy Wallace Show, ‘Authors Audio’ with Jake D. Steele, 'Create Abundance Now' with Roxanne Brown, ‘Infinite Love Radio’ with Michelle Morovaty, Web Talk Radio, ‘Body Wonders Radio’ with Donna Vernon, ‘Intimate conversations with Masters and Mystics’ with ‘Toward the Light’ with Rev.Juliet Nightingale, ‘Connecting the Light’ with Mike Quinsey, ‘The Universal Spirit Connection’ (Leilani Schmidt), ‘Call of the Soul Connection’ (Xandra Graviet) ‘Tell me your story’ with Richard Dugan, ‘Contact Talk Radio’ with Dawn Stansfield. Many of his articles, poems and quotes appearing in consciousness / spirituality magazines and associated websites worldwide.

In January 2009 he was invited to teach alongside Barbara Marx Hubbard, Esther Hicks (Abraham, Law of Attraction, The Secret) Steve and Barbara Rother (lightworker.com) and others on http://www.worldchangingwisdom.com/pastpresenters.html/ - subsequently he was offered his own seminar series with leading edge US company Conscious Alliances.

During the winter of 2009 Jonathan was invited to take on the challenging role of Managing Director of Gaunts House in Dorset, England – a role he undertook until leaving in the spring of 2014.

Jonathan 's second book ‘NAKED BEING: Undressing Your Mind, Transforming Your Life’ – was published by O books on the 28th May 2010. It was honoured as an award winning finalist in the Best Books 2010 Awards (USA Book News) in the Spirituality genre.

He was interviewed by Conscious TV founder Iain McNay in 2011, during which they talked about illness, healing and the evolution of human consciousness. It has been repeated on the Sky freeview channels. To see that interview, just click on this link: Conscious.tv interview
