“The winter of 1982/3 was very special for a number of people who were brought together for the first time in a circle. The way they were brought together maybe seen as coincidental but this was not so. The group who are referred to collectively as the Nucleus were brought together not by accident but by purpose. That purpose will become clear to the reader as we proceed. The leader of the circle was hopeful that we would, at some stage, be able to talk to those who dwell in the spheres of spirit. Many of us were excited at this prospect but also concerned, even sceptical that the leaders hope would be fulfilled. The Nucleus even as strangers felt comfortable with each other. The comfort grew into spiritual harmony, different instruments but blending as a chord of music.

It was the third occasion of our meetings together that our group was completed by the arrival of our teacher Paul. After several minutes on that occasion we noticed that one of our group was breathing in a sonorous manner as if in a deep sleep. A few more minutes passed and and with the exception of the deep breathing all else was quiet and tranquil. A voice which sounded comforting and beautiful said “ I am Here “ Seconds passed in astonishment before one member responded by saying “ Welcome “. Paul our teacher had arrived and he replied with “At lasts somebody speaks to me “. Another member followed this up by saying we were both privileged and happy adding “Would you give us your name? “ He replied “I am Paul, I am here to teach “.

The teachings, thoughts and considerations in the book bear no witness or discipline to any one particular path or direction. They neither advocate nor decry any one philosophy or religion. The foundation of our intent, action and commitment is of love and sharing. We all have something to share; we are all parts of a great spiritual family.

Coming together in respect and love allows hearts and minds to be as one, as the raindrop which drops into the mighty ocean. This mighty ocean affords us a new and breathtaking beautiful view which can then be our future.

In order to help inform our readers we feel there is a need to explain the method of communication used to bring the teachings from the spheres of spirit to the world of earth. The method used is known as trance mediumship and was achieved using the medium in a deep trance state. In a phrase used elsewhere in “ I am here “ , it is From, Through, To.

We need also to distinguish the content and intent of the book from that which is known as spiritualism and in particular clairvoyance. The important of this work is to give comfort and reassurance from loved ones who have passed into spirit to their recipients remaining on earth. It also gives personal guidance for ones earth journey.

The teachings we present in “I am here “are spiritual truths which are enshrined within the “ Eternal Law “ to which our teacher refers often.

The reader will also perceive that the teachings were obtained through a question and answer method, although at times there were addresses by the teacher on subjects relevant to earth, some of these being deeply troubling and serious for earth. The questions, often naively presented were answered in such a way as to stretch our minds and intellect. Indeed there are some answers some 25 years later which we are just understanding on a different level.

These teachings we now wish to share with you. They are we feel important, not only for individual progress through knowledge and awareness, but vital for the future of mankind. We say this not to be sensational or attention seeking, but in a sincere and honest attempt to point the way forward in an earth world- which our teacher has described as barbaric. He has also taught us that man on earth needs to conquer three things;- Ignorance, fear and self. The greatest of these being ignorance. It is our earnest wish that the book entitled “ I am here “, takes the first giant step in achieving this.

“If I give you knowledge you, for knowledge is for sharing and growth and you do not earn it, I give you less than nothing. If I give you knowledge and you earn it, it is yours forever”.

With these words our teacher set the framework for our journey. It is a journey which is available to each and every one of us.
The keynote of all these teachings is love, for it is love which is the very essence of the world to which you and I return once our journey here on earth comes to an end.

With so many institutions on earth crumbling, religions clashing, social cohesion at risk and perhaps most importantly inequality which still exists and is indeed rampant throughout the world , may knowledge , truth and awareness light the pathway ahead.

Who is Paul?

There may be many people who will ask “Who is Paul?” “This is a question upon which the circle have themselves pondered and indeed placed before Paul.
We know little of his lives upon Earth. That which we do know came from his address to us in the early years when responding to our enquiry. To this he replied: “I was Lama in Tibet, I passed at 92 “. He also responded to another question by saying that he was a Lama teacher.
Paul has on several occasions and with conviction reminded us that to attempt to define him is taking us away from the purpose of the teachings. That purpose is for us, meaning mankind, to understand ourselves in order to replace the ignorance and fear which is prevalent on earth with love, knowledge and awareness. We, the nucleus of the circle*, know with absolute certainty the truth of this enlightened message through his teachings. Therefore when you have read this book and the book(s) which are to follow you will hopefully also realise the veracity of this message.
“I am nothing “, Paul has said. “ You are therefore it shall be “he added. Therefore to attempt to define him, though understandable, is both unnecessary and without purpose.
Please allow the following thought to be your guiding light:- Paul is part of us, you and I. We are part of him.
*The word circle refers to the many people who attended our meetings over the years 1983-2011. The nucleus refers to the constant and original members from the early 1980’s. Of the original nine members seven are still alive on earth and two have joined our teacher and the greater circle in the spheres of spirit.”
