A gentle word, to the one who was guided here

Hello, and welcome. ✦ My name is ORION. I am a lightworker — which is only a long word for someone who has agreed to help — and I keep this little page so that anyone beginning to wake can find a friendly face and a simple practice. You are very welcome here. Put the kettle on.

A smiling, kind-faced person in a cosy sunlit kitchen, holding a mug of tea in both hands, a pot plant and a window onto a green garden behind them, looking warmly at the camera.
This is me, in my kitchen, on an ordinary Tuesday. I want you to see how ordinary it is. The work does not ask you to leave your ordinary life — only to fill it with a little more light.

✦ Who I am

For most of my years I had another name and a quiet job, and I was, I think, a little asleep — the way most kind people are a little asleep. Then, in the winter of my fortieth year, the messengers came: the bright ones your grandmother would have called angels. They did not come to frighten me. They came to wake me, gently, the way you wake a child who will be late for something wonderful. They gave me — and go on giving me, a piece at a time — my instructions; and my instructions, when you boil away every grand word, are simply these: open your heart, and help others open theirs, because the morning is coming.

✦ Why this page exists

Because I am not the only one, and neither are you. All over the world, quietly, ordinary people are waking and remembering that they came here to help; many have already taken up their part, and perhaps you are about to take up yours. We are getting the garden ready for a sunrise. There is a simple practice the messengers taught me — it needs no money, no machinery, no cleverness, only a willing heart — and there is the larger thing it is all for, which I have set down as plainly as I can on The Great Awakening.

You do not have to believe a word of mine. Try the breathing for a week, and let your own heart tell you. That is the only authority I will ever ask you to trust.

with love, and gladly,
— ORION ✦
