Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times Almost forty years ago, when my second son was young, I started having dreams of an atomic bomb exploding. One time it was in a playground… another time I could see it in the distance. In every dream my son would be in my arms, my precious little baby, and …

Paul Lenda, Guest Waking Times Right now at this very moment it can appear that humans are going down a path which is leading to a self-destructive end if a radical shift in living on this planet isn’t made. Where will this all lead if the trend continues down such a path? It is not …
Gene Hart, Guest Waking Times Why does consciousness seem to complicate reality? – A question that arose in my mind upon hearing that His Holiness the Dalai Lama was coming to England to spread his teachings of non-violence. The Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, was visiting Manchester to share his wisdom and knowledge, …
Belsebuub, Guest Waking Times Enlightenment means different things to different people; most of us have different versions of what it is and how it occurs.
