to Lightworker with Vaz Sriharan From Cityworker to Lightworker with Vaz Sriharan [Episode
42] Wired For Success TV [0:00:11] Beryl: Welcome to another episode of HYPERLINK "http://www.wiredforsuccess.tv"
http://www.wiredforsuccess.tv . My name is Beryl Thomas and with me is my co-host, the
lovely Melanie Gabriel. Please say hi, Melanie. Melanie: Hi, everyone. Beryl: Well, the wheel
never stops turning here at Wired for Success. In our bid to bring you interactions with
people, we believe are agents for change in this fast-changing world. And today s guest
is no exception. He is a Clairsentient, a Reiki Master, and a Spiritual Activist. Like
us at Wired for Success, he recognizes that now is a pivotal time in the human history
of the planet and that the new world that is being created depends on the changes we
create within ourselves. His journey has included chronic illness, becoming an author, and many
years of world travel on spiritual pilgrimages. Today, we ll hear how he s become a guiding
light for many who feel disconnected from their world and from their lives. In 2007,
as a spiritual version of the Lone Ranger, in a London coffee shop, he began the non
for profit group, the London Spiritual Movement. The movement welcomes all those who are feeling
the stirrings of awakening though it particularly seems to attract city of London workers who
are looking for more life fulfillment. The humanitarian work and activities of the organization
are global and range from offering healings on hospitals to overseas environmental and
peace projects. So it is our enormous pleasure to welcome Vaz Sriharan. Is that a good pronunciation
of your name? Vaz: It is and that s a wonderful intro. Thank you so much. Beryl: I was just
so worried about that pronunciation but we ve got through that. OK. So Vaz, you clearly
are a remarkable young man and we re thrilled to have you with us today. We really are.
Can you share with our audience this fascinating journey, where it started, when you became
aware of your own spirituality, and how this has unfolded into this fantastic work that
you re doing now, Vaz. Vaz: Yeah, of course. It s been such a journey for me as well, my
own journey. Now, talk to me about I started, I wake up and I felt very sensitive. Now to
me, I didn t even know what spirituality was back then. There weren t many books. The internet
hadn t even started for me. That came in much later. So to me, I was trying to understand
through books in the library and back then you would have one tiny little column in the
library for anything to do with the mind, body, spirit [indiscernible] [0:02:41] by
then. And now, you can see like rows upon rows. It s incredible what s happened over
the years. So, I was kind of exploring through my own personal experiences back then. I d
have dreams. I d have I felt that deep sense of meaning in the world that something was
everything had a purpose and a meaning and I didn t really I couldn t relate it with
the world I was experiencing outside. So, I go to school and I d have a real deep real
connection with everyone on a very emphatic level as well. I don t understand that this
wasn t usual either. But what I found out later on as I went through the years was that
everyone everything is by perception as well obviously and this is what we re learning
through spirituality and self-development that each of us comes here with a unique perception
and reality. And as I was experiencing life, I loved everyone around me and I had great
friends and all of them were either Atheists or religious and very different to what I
believed in. But I was still laughing around them. It was great. We all connected on a
different level. During this time as well, I had quite a deep, deep depression which
started from about 9 until about 24. And it was a very dark time for me as well. So while
I had a loose light from the outside which was hypocrisy, behind all of that, I was going
through a lot of my own suffering. I just want to understand what this all meant. So
I explored a different religious text. I actually looked into Christianity. My parents were
Hindus so I looked into Hinduism. I looked into Buddhism because something mystical was
calling me as well as a self-development side. I was very anxious in psychology as well so
I was trying to understand my mind and why it was in the state that it was, why I feel
stressed or why I d feel disempowered? But this is a big part of my entire journey about
empowerment. So the entire first part of my life has been about being completely disempowered
of why I felt that the whole world was almost against me and everything was happening to
me. And because of that belief, that was basically the founding block of my entire depression
because I had one belief but I didn t realize that was the founding block. And it took me
an entire journey to realize that all I had to do was replace that one belief at the bottom
to lift me out of that depression. So as I started going through life, I explored lots
of different information because a self-development movement was starting to begin as I was going
to university and I did economics at uni and I was busy at the back reading about spirituality
and under the table. And it was great. I was just downloading this was when the internet
started so I was downloading loads and something opened me up to a way of thinking that I never
thought was possible that I was responsible for my reality. I create my reality. I m responsible
for what happens in my world. The experiences that I m having, the emotions that I m feeling,
I m the one that can actually m the one that s creating it which also means I m the one
that can change it. And this is not something I believed in before. But it wasn t completely
outside of my reality. I thought I had to change something outside to make me feel better
inside. As soon as I came to this understanding, I went into a very deep place of what I call
was channeled writing. And what actually how it started was, I started writing like a diary
to myself. And I had a lot of people saying, You should do some writing. And by that point,
I thought most people think I can t write. I can t write to save my life. And I m not
going to go there. But what this person said to me which I always remember is that, If
you can speak, you can write because it s an expression. And that s what I share with
everyone now because it s so true. If we re speaking, we can write as well. It s the same
thing. So, I started writing to myself and what happened at first was all these emotions
that were in my head were now down in paper and I could actually see them. And with this
new level of awareness that was going inside of me, that I m just creating my reality,
I started to see what was happening inside my head and that s another part of me, a very
deep, deep part of me that I didn t; even know was there, very wise part of me started
to write back [indiscernible] [0:06:56]. So for each day for example, if I write for an
hour, the second hour I ll be writing this incredible wisdom explaining what happened,
why I was thinking the way I was in the first half. And this kept happening for months.
And after about four months, I collected all the second halves and put them together. And
this continued for myself and I started to read that manual again and again and again
and I let myself out of this depression. What was incredible was that as this was going
on, I was working in the city. So I d been in the city for eight years working at different
merchant banks and jumping around. And I was working in these banks, I was traveling with
my own spiritual journey but coming in and something was drawing me back into this almost
diametrically opposed polarities which was being right in the city and then going up
to these sacred places and going into spiritual journey. I had no idea why that was because
I still had no deep love for word being brought up and being around in the city and all the
people that I d met. And it was in 2007 when I realized I didn t feel really connected
with everybody that I was speaking to about spirituality. So I wanted to actually meet
other people. And so what I did was actually set up a meet-up group in Costa Coffee Shop
in Waterstones right in the bottom. And the first meet-up group, we had three people turned
up. And I didn t even know who s going to turn up to that first event because all I
wanted to do was met other people and talk to them and create new friends, other like-minded
people who are on this journey and didn t even know what spirituality was. And this
is my main philosophy as well, it s an endless word but at the same time, it s so unique
to each person because each person has their own right to determine what their own spirituality
is. So in that first paragraph, I just had one paragraph of that first meeting and it
said, If you re interested in the spirituality and you are on the journey and you want to
meet other like-minded people and you work in the city, come along to Costa Coffee Shop
in Waterstones and we ll see you there and talk further. And the first meeting, we had
three people which is amazing, just to connect with other people. And then two weeks later,
there were 15 people around the table. And then within a month, we started holding it
every two weeks by then, within a month, we had about 60 people in the coffee shop sitting
around in the tight circle, all people from the city. Beryl: Wow! Melanie: So, just a
minute. So by the time it had mushroomed to 60 people, is it that the initial ones were
talking and it was now word of mouth or Vaz: The incredible thing was that and this hasn
t changed since the beginning, most of the people who come along to our group, come along
on their own. And they will bring their friends along for sure and that only happens much
later. But all of these people were coming on their own from the city and didn t realize
that other people thought the same way they did. That they were going mad in their offices
and was so relieved just to connect. That s all that happened in these meetings. We
just provided a space for everyone to connect and then just talk to each other. It was such
a relief for them that they needed some outlet for expression and it allowed them to grow
because until that moment, they were still discovering their own self-development themselves.
But now the reflection and the support system instead of a challenge or having to defend
themselves which was what they felt, they can actually just explore and expand into
a whole new level which is amazing when you get so many people together. So as that grew
and that just started to exponentially grow and I realized there is something happening
in London that is happening everywhere and yet, it hasn t been tapped into which people
feel that they just need to connect and there s an awakening happening and it was much faster
than I realized. It was much grounded level that I could ever even understand and that
just kept growing and growing and growing. And out of this, I realized that as the people
coming together and I m always a big advocate of grassroots empowerment and people empowerment
because my whole journey has been about this empowerment. So I really value people in seeing
their own power and not having to look up to somebody else. I believe that there s guidance
you get from people but people understanding that they are their own master of their own
reality that they have their own unique unlimited wisdom inside of them which we can assist
them in discovering to be realizing that there are people that I could share wisdom and to
people that want to listen to it so I started to create a space and we had at friend s meeting
house and people start to share talks and share their experiences and we d revolved
around each other. And this is the essence of what we began as a grassroots movement.
And people just start speaking. As that grew over the years and now, we ve got six and
a half [Phonetic] [0:11:46] thousand people in the group from all over London because
all of them are telling their friends and bringing them over. We got talks in such a
great level now and was still retaining that huge essence of empowerment and allowing everyone
to feel empowered and creating a platform for the city workers. This is where we get
these great speakers to come in with incredible wisdom to come in. re also creating platform
for the city workers to come in to also share their own experiences because from my point
of view, it doesn t matter if you wake up yesterday or you wake up 20 years ago. You
have something unique to share to the world that everyone can benefit from and everyone
can learn from if we just open up and share it because everyone has such a unique window
into this reality, into this universe. It s so important that we allow as many different
people to feel the empowerment, the inspiration. And it s so wonderful to see city workers
who show like they ve just been going plodding along in their life and suddenly realized,
Well, I ve got unlimited potential and now, I m telling you about it. Melanie: Can I interrupt
you for a moment? So, what you re describing here is the birth of the London Spiritual
Movement, yeah? Vaz: So, this is the London Spiritual Movement. In the same year in 2007,
I began the London College of Spirituality. Now, they are interlinked. The London College
of Spirituality holds our talks and our workshops and our events as we became more professional
and we started attracting international speakers from America and the UK. And that holds the
body of our sub-development side. And what we call it is our service to self. And the
other side of what we do is service to the whole or service to society. And that s a
charity work that we do. And this is where the movement generally encapsulate is that
side of things because our belief is that once we re also getting our re also empowering
ourselves. We have a direct impact in society every single moment. Every single time we
open our mouths and speak or make a conscious decision or take action with anything, we
re interconnecting with the entire planet. And it s like that butterfly effect. Every
single thing that we do will literally have an impact all the way down to someone on the
other side of the planet. So once we recognized these actions that we have and the power of
them, we can actually make conscious decision, conscious actions in society and what we found
with a lot of our city workers who come in, they re so very passionate about their inner
development but they want to make a difference to this planet. They want to make change.
And what we ve been conditioned to believe is that one person can t make a difference.
And what we re saying to them is that one person can make the most incredible difference
on the planet and it doesn t have to seem like such a massive big and something transparent.
It s more actions that are making huge, huge differences because when lead by example,
the people around us are also witnessing that change and they re witnessing what s happening.
So when we work with our charities for example, we work with quite a few charities in London,
and someone who gives a few hours awake and works with somebody, works with some [indiscernible]
[0:15:08] or works with someone in mental health or works with children, when they witnessed
the change that they ever had themselves with that person and all that person needs was
to be heard to connect and that completely will change their reality. I remember when
I was in my depression, all I needed was somebody just to open up to me just once and I would
hold on to it for months. When somebody actually opened their hearts to me and I almost like
[indiscernible] [0:15:35] and connect with me for maybe ten minutes. It was enough for
me to really give me the strength that I needed. And these are the things that we help with
as well as oversee the practitioner s side of things with our healers. We have so many
healers now as the city workers are getting really s incredible what s happened in the
city because they as far as working in the city, they are also developing spiritual gifts
and their work and their development at such an incredible rate and a lot of them are becoming
healers now. And we found that healing nights are just attract half that half of the people
who come to our healing nights are brand new to spirituality and they walk out and they
feel that they have the experience of the Reiki, of the healing, of the energy. They
feel the difference inside of them. And for us, that s the biggest thing, the experience.
If you can feel something, that s your truth. Beryl: So Vaz, I don t know quite how this
is going to come out but what I m kind of thinking is this is a fantastic story and
what the rest of us see in the newspapers and so forth is the cities, the banks you
touched on and you came from merchant bank, they don t have a great reputation. They have
a reputation for being very hard nose, for being very me and me and me. And I m wondering
what the city workers are experiencing when they come to organizations like yours where
they re encouraged to show their vulnerability because in their vulnerability is actually
their strengths. So they re rediscovering a part of them. They re changing, OK? They
re changing. And when they go back into that city environment, I wonder how their work
changes because as you rightly said, perception is everything. So when they go back, I wonder
how they re perceiving what they re doing? Because we ve interviewed other people like
Steve Nobel talked to us about how he worked in the banking world, you ll know Steve, and
how he just found it so, s get everything we can out of this situation for ourselves.
Do you know what I m saying here? How are those and I guess what would excite me if
the whole banking system will change for the better because these people at the grassroots
are changing. Vaz: Yeah. This is what I totally believe. I believe two things are going to
happen or are happening right now. And that is, as people become more empowered on the
grassroots level, on individual level, these systems are going to support. These systems
are based on centralized power and because of that people feel like a number, they re
easily replaced. They come in and their human rights as well when I used to work in the
banks, I was working in one bank where I wasn t even allowed to talk to the person next
to me for the entire day. And if we did that was an open floor with 60 people in that bank.
It was ridiculous. When it gets to that level, it and people recognized their power, people
will either change their career or the banks will have to change and both things are going
to stop happening. And I think it s happening already. When people that we see who come
in to us, as they realized their empowerment and they realized what they re capable of,
they realized the extent of their creativity which has been so diminished within these
institutions. Now, these institutions have to go along with the change as with anything
which is built upon the people. When the people changed, they start to collapse so they have
to adapt. s the same thing with our group. Our group is always changing and this is why
nothing is built above it. We support the group around this way because if we always
will be shifting a change in you, we always have to from my belief, we are always in service
to the people and we re always in service to society. When we have that philosophy,
we understand that when somebody comes and works with these levels, the people working
with us in our team, they are giving their time and giving their energy and giving their
entire self towards creating that project or that bank or whatever it is. If that s
not acknowledged and especially what we re working into now as people start to recognize
their power and as you re saying that vulnerability, as they start to open up and start to see
themselves, their true self and they find an arena somewhere else which is allowing
them to be who they are and they start to recognize, Oh, I haven t been who I am here.
Can I change that here? This is the first thing we always say. So when they go back,
what we re trying to leave a lot of our members is that they are changing things around them
and it s incredible. People around them are changing. Their bosses are changing or if
they are the boss, they re changing the team dynamic. And as they start to realize things
that they weren t aware of before, they start to realize the how important it is for the
team to be heard, for the people to be recognized as human beings which we ve forgotten about
in these industries. Beryl: Sorry. Go on, Melanie. Melanie: I was only just going to
sum up my understanding. So in essence, what you re saying is that when people begin to
involve themselves with your community, it s like a remembering of that spiritual blueprint
that they take back into that environment and it then I suppose becomes like a virus
really. Vaz: Yeah, that s what I feel. And I also feel these this is something I feel
really deeply. Unless these institutions start serving the society around them, they are
all going to collapse in some way. And they re going to have to adapt because what s happened
there is that they re so all of the work that we do in the corporate world, not all of it
but because of the changes so much as well, we have a lot of ethical industries coming
through and a lot new ways of working because they are cannibalizing the areas around them
for profit. s in a way, they are becoming, I don t know if you ve seen the corporations,
the firm which actually did a personality test on the corporations that we have in the
West. It found that it has a psychotic behavior and that it was related to human being because
of all the things that is going out and taking things for itself and just completely taking
over. Unless these institutions start working with each other and start serving the planet,
start serving society then naturally, anything at that level starts to it can only have a
limited lifespan. Melanie: Lifespan. Vaz: Yeah. And as the people are recognizing it,
what I find so incredible right now is that we ve always let the people on top level to
make the changes and now, the people are making the changes and this is always a greater shift
that we can have because the people are the one that are standing up and saying, Actually,
we choose this and these are our choices about the changes I make. And there s a lot of career
change happening right now as people are realizing, Oh, I didn t have to just go down this channel.
I can actually do something different. I can still create a business but it can be something
that is really fulfilling to me and truthful. So that it will always be serving everyone
around you. Always. And that s when you will be happy. Beryl: OK. So I m thinking now,
your city workers, some of them must have felt kind of really uncomfortable with all
those occupied movements that were going on outside St. Paul s Cathedral a year or so
back because there is that two-way pull, isn t there? On the one hand, they are employees
of the city but on the other hand in their heart, they must feel a pull towards these
kinds of organizations that are saying enough is enough of this. Vaz: This is the thing,
this is why I don t feel I have a lot of compassion for a lot of city workers and this is why
we do all of this because everyone needs to earn money and there s a system out there
and there is something that we want to create the life we want to enjoy things in our lives.
Because the system up there is a predominant one, they have gone into that because the
society from school actually conditions everyone and takes people into that as a process and
we don t realize that there are other things around. We think that people s dream job is
like everyone has a feeling, oh that means to be an astronaut when I was a kid or to
be something, it seems like magic. But we realized now, our dream job is there is so
much scope in there once we open our creativity. There is so much scope in the city. And this
is what all the city workers are teaching each other because there are so many new businesses
coming up, so many new ways for working which is beautiful to see. Beryl: So, let s throw
the rule book out there then for a minute out of this for a minute Vaz, shall we? And
just because you ve got that economics background and we talked to people on this show and we
ve got more people lined up to talk about new economic systems. Could you see a scenario
where we lose this fear money system and we create something entirely different that does
not rely on money? Vaz: I really believe we re going to get to that state. For me deep
down, that we can create a system that monetary at the moment is an exchange system and again,
it s to do with the profit and it s to do with the centralized power of over each other.
But once we create a system where we actually want to collaborate, we actually want to work
with each other, that we actually have a common goal. And this is what we actually do right
now with the charities as well is that we re bringing charities together so that they
can work together on a common goal as opposed to individually working on separate things
and competing with each other which is ludicrous really when we actually want to make a change
in society. There s no need to do this. There is so much that can happen from that space.
And then once we have that as a collaborative system happening then we got a whole of evolution
to go into which is exploration on so many different levels and we haven t even gone
into one percent of that which is so incredible and look how far we ve come already as a human
species and how resilient we are anyway which I think is incredible as well that we re able
to still manage through the system. And we re just about to step into this new frontier
right now which is going to be just purely and which we ll seem like magic to us. It
will seem like everything opening up in this world will be an opportunity for change. Beryl:
OK. So, we had another interviewee, Sterling Allan, who talked about that there will be
a tipping point and it might be something like free energy that creates that would be
a dramatic change to our economic system. Is it that or do you see other things or just
the massive shift in consciousness that could take us into that tipping point and maybe
we re already there? What s your view on that? Vaz: Yes. For me, there s a lot of thinking
created in the planet right which are definitely going to be shifting us in different ways
in terms of resources, in terms of economics. I personally feel, before all of that happens,
there s going to have to be a shift in consciousness to a certain degree so we understand why we
re doing it. Otherwise these new concepts will come into an old paradigm. So it s really
important that we, as a collective, understand that peace is a way, harmony is a way, collaboration,
unity, consciousness, understanding the real depth of the philosophies of unconditional
love which isn t just about loving one another, there is a real complex philosophy behind
that which is incredible and it s simple and complex at the same time because it can be
distributed through any system and it opens up any system. When it comes from the heart-centered
space, when it comes to this, I actually feel we ve reached the tipping point already. From
what we re seeing in London and the amount of people waking up, it s phenomenal. We have
a graph that shows how many people are joining our group and it s just growing to exponential
now. And that for me is a sign because it s a reflection [indiscernible] [0:27:52] of
the whole consciousness of what s happening around the planet. re in the what is said
to be densest cover to our own planet with London, the biggest financial district. We
ve got so much happening here, so much history. Yet, we ve got people waking up faster than
I ve ever seen in my life. I would never have thought this many people would come along
to the events. We re expanding from 200 and that s grown now to 450 since last year, just
since over the past few months. All of this is just showing and all the people that we
re meeting such as yourselves, such as everyone that we meet in this field and they come from
the city background which I find so fascinating because everyone is coming from this background,
feeling this empowerment and then changing and then creating this new unique system which
I knew they come up with which is so incredible and then integrating it all together and start
reaching so many persons together and bring it all together, when you have that much change
happening, it s infectious and it s spreading and everyone is leading by example now. I
truly believe everyone doing this work are the next generation of leaders and they are
training the next generation of leaders and it s accumulative. Melanie: Just a quick question
here because I noticed that you ve been to California and New York to help instigate
similar movements over there, have I got that correct? Vaz: Yeah, California. Melanie: Are
we finding that things are mushrooming over there the way it s doing here as well and
really running away with itself? Vaz: It s really interesting because I go to California
a lot because of the Spiritual Movement. We re set to begin there before it began over
here which in a way it did and that s how I actually was opened to so many different
belief systems because over there on the internet, they started a lot of different centers and
universities and they re quite big on self-development and spiritual side over there. When I went
over there, it s really interesting because of the way that America is populated and it
s quite sparse over in Los Angeles for example or San Francisco, people don t live so congregated
like in London. When you organize something, it has to be in districts and it has to be
in different districts for people to come together because they all travel by car in
these areas. When you come to London, you organize something, everyone can come in.
So, it has a very different spiritual the movement is very different over there. You
wouldn t have one in Los Angeles. You d have to have about five. You d have to have one
in Santa Monica and in different areas. And people would and that s how it looked. If
we can actually start re starting over there and they have it in very different way. Here,
it s very s just a huge collective coming together which I find incredible to watch
because everybody can come together in central point in London. It s very tangible. We can
actually see what s happening. I find because London started we say later in a way, it s
got different energy. It s got very different action side to things and everyone in London,
if you come along to our groups, if you come along to the meetings, and everywhere I see,
not just our group, we re really passionate about creating change in a very direct way.
They want to see action. They want to see results. They want to see something happen.
In California, that s happening as well, I m sure. What I find is that here I think for
me here, it seems faster. It seems faster now and I can t really tell why that is. All
I know is that we need it here as well. Beryl: Perhaps, it s to do with the culture. The
California kind of sunshine state, they re slightly laid back kind of culture where London
is a very buzzy city. So it s fabulous, fabulous, very buzzy and of course, these people you
re working with, the city workers, they re used to being driven. They re ambitious. And
that s the interesting thing that that if you like skill set or wiring if you like,
they ve just transferred to move this movement forward. It well, because it was meant to
be. Melanie: That s a good point. Vaz: That s so true. Melanie: And of course, when you
have such a concentration of energy in a small place, there s going to be a momentum, isn
t there? A huge momentum. Beryl: Yeah. And I remember when we went to see David Icke
speak and he said, as much as there is some balance of going on out there and let s say,
there s being a heavy energy, let s call it, around the city because of the banking scandals
and so forth, the energy of, let s call it, love enlightenment is always going to be thousands
of times more powerful. So I guess that s what s creating another shift. It s what we
ve Rupert Sheldrake would call a morphic field. And that and it s like the dark can when the
light is shone, there is no darkness. There is nowhere to hide. The darkness of that old
system Melanie: Has to collapse. Beryl: Yeah. Vaz: Definitely. This new paradigm which is
what you re speaking before by the blueprint, everyone is carrying this blueprint in their
lives. And people may not know it s in there but it s shining out. And when they discover
it Melanie: It awakened. Vaz: s being awakened. It s all radiating out and this is creating
this new world that we re living in right now. And that history will look back at this
point and see this tipping point, see this time and see witness what s happened as we
shifted from one way of thinking of separateness, of limitation, of suffering into unlimitedness,
of abundance, of working together, collaboration, unity, consciousness, and moving into this.
As we re all discovering there s no rule book, there s no handbook here, or manuals that
we can actually find out what is it we do. re all discovering through experience and
experimenting while working together. And through that, as soon as you open the door,
it doesn t matter where that door exits to because you ve opened a new experience and
somebody else can observe what you ve been doing and they might make a cleaner pathway
or a new door and they can open another path into that. There are so many things that I
ve done over the years which in the traditionally world, would be seen as mistakes. For me,
each one has made me grow and grow and grow so much. And other people in my group have
been watching it, two to three hundred other meet-up groups started from this group, from
city workers. Beryl: Really? Two to three hundred meet-ups. Melanie: Within London?
Vaz: In London. Yeah, in London. Beryl: Really? Melanie: What spurs off this one? Vaz: From
the beginning, yeah. And so, these people started their own groups. It might be around
specific thing because I was a very general. We re inviting everyone in. But they ve gone
down specific path. It might be around mindfulness. It might be around yoga. It might be around
something else because they re learning from us about how that you can do it. And this
is the main thing. You can actually create something yourself, invite people around and
just see where it goes. It can be your hobby. It can be your career. It can be anything.
Beryl: It s the most exciting time to be alive, Vaz, isn t it? It really is. Vaz: Yeah. Beryl:
It listening to you Vaz, you re a very special person undoubtedly. And it s like just you
being you and it s true for each of us, but perhaps right now, you being you, doing what
you re doing, I feel a great kind of opening of my heart just being here listening to you.
Despite the fact, we re miles away from each other. And this is the point, isn t it? We
don t always even need the same thing. It s just the energy because everything is energy.
It s the energy that we re emanating and it s all very heart-centered. Melanie: It s the
same point that I m thinking of, yeah. Beryl: So it doesn t need to be people don t need
to know what to say in certain situations. They just need to come from their heart. And
that will s contagious. Vaz: It s so true. And this is what I feel we do in our events
just by sitting there. We re holding the frequency. And something I learned about healing over
the years was that the less I did, the more that would happen. Creating space is the most
incredible thing when you create space for people to be themselves and that high energy
like you re talking about comes out. It s transformational. Melanie: One of the things
I find really good about this is I remember when I lived in London some 30 years plus,
clearly, not a lot has changed in that I remember seeking the way you obviously were and you
would discover little groups which sort of hidden out in somebody s living room and you
would make sure no one at work ever discovered that you were doing weird things like this
after work. So it s really great that it s out in the open now. But no doubt, those of
us who did this, we were holding some kind of space which perhaps eventually led to it
being out in the open. Vaz: Yeah. This is the thing, there are so many pioneers out
there in different ways and just holding that space and people even feeling like they didn
t even speak or they re not communicating with anyone but holding that inside of them
is like a radio transmitter and breaking down this consciousness, this limitation grid that
we ve been building here and allowing space for somebody else. Somebody gave me an analogy
once and it s so great. It s like, if you imagine a tent over the entire planet and
people standing up putting a pole up, each person putting a pole up, as you put the pole
up, it create a space around you for everybody else to see that they can actually stand up
in this world. Everyone is doing it. Melanie: That s a nice analogy. Vaz: So, we re a collection
of grassroots individuals. We come together from empowerment and for any change and how
to change. One of the big things that we believe our core philosophies is we have service to
self which is about inner empowerment, understanding that through self-development and spiritual
growth we can actually achieve the happiness that we re seeking. And we just don t seek
happiness outside, it can come from within. And the other part that we focus on the service
to society and this happens through collaboration, this happens through giving something back
and understanding that we can make a difference to this world through the small actions that
we take. One person can make a difference. And all our events are by the nation so we
really want to just make this as accessible as possible to everyone and work with energy
of the universe. A big thing which we do is through surrender. We let go and we surrender
to the universe and follow the guidance that comes in. Melanie: Excellent. That s wonderful.
It s a pity we didn re running out of time now. It would have been nice to speak about
that because that s something some people struggle to work with, surrendering to the
universe and just trusting that things are going to unfold. And it can be a bit hairy
but it usually works out well in the end. So, for people who are listening who knew
nothing about you before now, how can they find you? I mean we re out here sort of 70
miles from London thinking, I wish we live in London. Vaz: The easiest way is online.
So we have a website which is meetup.com/londonspirituality. And by joining on there, you can see all our
events and we re very engage with our audience. So, we send out regular emails and keep updated.
And if anyone is London, it would be great to come along to our event and just pop in
and experience something and it may change your life, it may transform you and you may
find something that resonates with you and you may meet somebody that you never knew
you wanted to meet in your life. Everything is out there for people to come to. Beryl:
So just to be clear, you don t have to be a city worker to join this your group, do
you? Anyone can join your movement. Vaz: Anyone can join. We have people from all backgrounds,
all ages, all cultures. It s great. It s such a diverse place where people just seem to
feel really comfortable with each. We have a director next to an artist, it s amazing
to see. Beryl: Great. Melanie: Brilliant So thank you everyone for tuning in to today
