O
ur inner being is a source of knowledge and power which we can approach daily in an attempt to answer many important questions on the meaning of life, on who and what we are, our ethics and morality, our world with its natural laws and socalled supernatural events and the existence of a higher spiritual reality and God. How we access this knowledge has been for many centuries the subject matter of science, psychology, philosophy, Theology and mysticism. I believe that these are ultimately all different approaches or paths to the same source of knowledge and revelation that is available to us deep within the levels of our own consciousness.

In this regard, we can make use of advanced techniques such as meditation. One such exercise, a visualisation called the “Oracle”, has proved to be extremely powerful. This particular technique was used extensively as a basis to my book "In Search of the Oracle" (2002) and is presented here. The technique is quite advanced and is recommended for those who have already performed inner work. This is first an exercise in imagery and visualisation in which you use a very light meditative state to form a mental picture of an "oracle". This should be an old man or woman who symbolises to you, “God ", "wisdom ", "inner guidance" or merely a wise person whom you can trust and respect. A suitable simple imaginary context is also required for this visualisation, such as seeing yourself slowly climbing a mountain to visit this oracle who is seated in a cave, or on a rock on top of this mountain. This exercise can be accompanied by suitable soft, background music. 69
