Hamish Miller: A Life Divined

A book that encompasses a remarkable life. Hamish Miller, a staunch Scot, as I wrote in an earlier newsletter, left us on Burns Night. It seemed a departure elegantly designed. Yet, one that should not surprise when we consider his life. Hamish began his working life as a highly successful engineer and furniture designer who created a flourishing manufacturing company in Sussex. He set all that aside and became a blacksmith and dowser after a horrendous car accident that saw him pronounced dead on the operating table. A Near Death experience reoriented his take on life. That's when the other Hamish, the researcher and writer, who moved at the cutting edge of modern thought and science, stood tall. Hamish spent the last three decades of his astonishing life in Cornwall. His work in England, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand became an inspiration to a whole generation of people who sought to make some sense of the non-physical world around them. He leaves with us a wonderful body of knowledge to build on. It's shared in his books and in a new work that's being launched this May. This book, which gathers together his thoughts and insights through his own words, paints a posthumous perspective of an uplifting, enlightening, exciting, and frequently humorous life well-lived. Hamish was unique, a one off who left a wonderful legacy of wisdom and insight. He helped us probe the frontiers of consciousness, to unravel the mysteries of the unseen with his dowsing, to touch energies pulsing through the planet. He restored to today some of the ancient 'sciences' of our ancestors - all our ancestors - by showing us that the earth energies that humans used in the past to find things like water, coal and tin still exist. He taught us that the most sacred places on the planet are located where two huge energy lines meet and cross - be they European cathedrals, North American medicine wheels, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Temple of Athena or Apollo or Castle Hill in New Zealand. He taught us to apply ourselves to the task but to remember to keep a space to laugh.
