The Academy Is Changing...

The Academy is changing.

The Pure event for which we have been preparing 

for such a long and interesting time, 

is slowly sliding into being.

Like waking up one day and realising

one is an adult.

Somewhere there was an invisable membrane 

which divides childhood and adulthood

 and suddenly without warning 

one has moved from one to the other.

The Academy is different.

It is no longer the School we started 

so many years ago in Miranda's house in London.

The room was lit by a Globe of the Earth 

that Miranda had bought for her Son.

I remember saying to this little group of people

"You have no idea what is been concieved here tonight"

And the Light inside the Globe went out.

This was not imagination, 

it may have been coincidence.

4 of the 5 people who were there, 

are still in The Academy and that was 11 years ago.

We now have branches in LA, Austin, 

New York, South Africa, Van Couver, 

Tucson,Mexico, now Chicago 

and of course London with Germany patiently waiting.

We have been given more abilities since then 

and I do feel that whoever  C Influence are?

I trust they are pleased with their work.

For I know that nothing could have been different...

Nothing.

I have watched each of you over the years 

been carved from your original shells 

and I have been honoured 

to watch your respective unfoldings.

I have learned so much from you all by learning 

to see through your senses and feeling your feelings 

both joyful and sorrowful.

The hard work of splitting in the dark 

underground like a seed has been done 

and we have prevailed into the light. 

We are now like the plant growing 

and soon something of indiscribeable beauty 

will emerge....Our Flowering, 

followed in due course by our Fragrance.

I want to thank you all 

for your part in this a most divine play

Love
