What better place to have an interview than right in your own back yard... Cockle Bay is a tiny inlet, a sparkling jewel set picture postcard perfect within a larger jewel - beautiful Sydney Harbour. The bay is my haven, it's home. It's where I live, work and play.

Jenny was youngish, mid-twenties perhaps, and full of life. Energetically, she sounded really good. A few weeks earlier Jenny had requested an interview. Research, she'd said, for her postgraduate studies.

We finally met, shook hands, and found a spot at the southern end of the bay. The view took in all the bay and the city skyline - 'rather pretty', as Jenny was soon to say. We were on our way.

Jen: Well, I must say this all feels a bit strange. I have never interviewed or even met a New Energy lightworker before. I don't know that my list of questions here will be all that becoming... Would it be okay if we just...

AS: Yes, let's just make it all spontaneous.

Jen: All right, good... So, what's your favourite movie?

AS: Movie? God, now that's spontaneous! Let's see... there's been so many gems... I'd probably have to say Cameron's Titanic. I also loved David Lean's film of Dr Zhivago.

Jen: Sorry about the question.

AS: No, don't be. It's good to keep it light. We don't need to get all super-heavy here.

Jen: Okay. Then who would your favorite actor be?

AS: That’s an impossible question.

Jen: Why is it impossible?

AS: Because there’s too many to choose from – well over six billion at the last count.

Jen: You mean that everyone is an actor… like in some giant play?

AS: With plays within the play and plays within the plays, etc.

Jen: So is anyone not part of a play?

AS: Yes the crew, the wake-up crew, all those who have moved out of the age-old illusion – the world of duality.

Jen: All those in the New Energy.

AS: Yes.

Jen: Okay. So what about books, what's your favorite?

AS: Now that one's easy - Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Even now it still brings a few tears.

Jen: Really! Why is that do you think?

AS: The story, in essence, is all about the transition from student to teacher. I'm sure it's had an impact on all the New Energy teachers.

Jen: I must read it some time. And favourite author?

AS: After that, it would have to be Richard Bach. Although Enid Blyton was my favourite when I was a kid. I loved her 'Famous Five' books.

Jen: Your favourite place?
