Practical Spirituality - Jack Morrigan and Mike Jenkins
Jack Morrigan in dialogue with Mike Jenkins for The Hamblin Vision about practical spirituality and navigating our life journey.
Love That Will Never Let Us Go
The theme of our Hamblin Vision membership magazine this autumn is Letting Go. The process of letting go can be very painful, especially when we have not freely chosen to do so but have been forced into a position of having to let go by circumstances beyond our control.
Henry Thomas Hamblin would have leant a compassionate ear to our natural human resistance to painful circumstances. In the life journey of this spiritual writer and mystic, there lay a profound lesson in letting go. It was not merely a philosophical concept but a transformative process that he experienced, understood and later shared with the world.
How to See the Good Things in Life
Poet and Creative Writing teacher Lottie Angell shares some personal experiences of looking for and seeing the good things in life even when our vision is clouded, or we are lost in the dark woods.
From the Good to the Good
Marsilio Ficino, the Italian Renaissance philosopher, wrote in one of his letters, ‘All things are directed from the Good to the Good’. Victoria Willson, one of the trustees of the Hamblin Trust, discusses this concept and how it relates to the teaching of HT Hamblin.
The Real Teacher is Life Itself
In an extract from our PDF Artticle, Practical Spirituality, HT Hamblin reminds us of the power of thought and the choices we have to turn our attention towards the Divinity already shining within us.
Life is Friendly
In our series based on HT Hamblin’s Simple Talks on Science of Thought, we are reminded that in truth, Life is Friendly and has a natural inclination towards health, flourishing and harmony
Good Only Can Come to Me
On this 150th anniversary year of Henry Thomas Hamblin, chair of The Hamblin Trust, Noel Raine, shares some of his favourite Hamblin teachings.
The Significance of Henry Thomas Hamblin
Authentic spiritual teachings carry an energy that impact those who hear them and may, if the teachings are profound, affect even those who don't hear them first-hand but possibly years or centuries later. I suggest that the great teachers most closely associated with the main world religions are evidence of this. Some are acknowledged as saints, others as sages; and some may never be noticed at all and live their lives anonymously, working to bring salvation, enlightenment or realisation to sentient beings. Not all of them are teachers, so they serve as they can. Some do have the gift for teaching and communication and they are the 'star turns' who leave a mark on us individually and as humanity. It is into this group that I would place HT Hamblin.
Ukraine - A Wider Dimension
It is certainly right that we invoke light, love and blessings for refugees, the dispossessed and homeless, the bereaved and the suffering. But should this be the whole response? Chair of the Hamblin Trust, Noel Raine, discusses the wider aspects to the spiritual dimension that we should perhaps consider.
