He urges and teaches the manifesting in daily life of the "inner man", making the spiritual
essence concrete, and bringing forth the "atman" or god-hood.
He has developed a strict spiritual daily routine to his own life which commences at 6 am daily
with prayers and communion with Nature ('Amun Sun Vow Zarathustrian' invokations) at 6am outdoors and ends at 11 pm with prayers
(the sacred pole) and Nature communion once more.
Time is also laid aside each day for the following:
1. a short period of daily meditation;
2. bird watching, and bird song listening;
3. a period of absolute silence;
4. study of the ways of nature;
5. feeding of birds and animals
In the rhythm of the cycle of the year his devotions include:
1. a 24 hour period of total silence each month for the 'Monastic Planetary Spheres' he
created;
2. strict observation of the 8 major festivals of the year;
3. some of the Moons;
4. and all the essential deities of his native pantheons.
5. His also organises his own domestic rhythms to the seasons.
He has tried to gear his life to the rhythms of Nature and of the seasons
and insists on reduction of all electrical and other power and heating (he refuses to have any heating except in the
coldest 3 months of the year and then only 1 fire/radiator for about 2 hours a night). He insists on taking cold showers
daily no matter the weather or season and enjoys growing as much as possible of his own food and makes his own wine and beer
and herbal tea.
He has rejected the personal and materalistic life in favour of an empathic and vitalising
one.. And during his summer months (mid-March to early November) he rises first of all at 4 am each day to listen to
the dawn chorus of birds (especially the blackbird which he is fond of) in his garden before returning to bed to bed for another
2 hours.
His vegetarianism (aside from the selfish consideraton of personal health and well being) is part
of his philosophy to bring greater respect to life and a place for other creatures on this planent.
He is constantly refining his own garden to attract more wildlife. This
includes a wide variety of bird species, and field mice, frogs, hedgehog, toads. and several species of fish in his
pond. His garden also reflects this honour and empathy- wild life visitors to the garden are given
precedence over human whims, small wild place have been created, no pecticides or artificial fertilisers are used, and feeding
and eating areas established.
Spiritual features: Additionally there is an Elf Altar in a small herb
garden; a meditation area; and a Celtic-cross Temple garden; a large Buddha at the edge
of the pond; and Fire Platform. On a flag pole (atop which sits a weather vane) beside the green house
the flag of each nation of Pan-Europa is raised on each national day. Wind-chimes, bird feeders, bird baths, bird boxes, boxes
for insects and butterlies etc, complete the ambience.
