Welcome to Alternative Answers

The is the site of Darren Deojee, a western Seer, Initiate, Guide and Teacher.   picture of darren

Darren's work covers a broad range of subjects -  it is yogic, it is shamanic, it is spiritual and it is even religious - it is each of these as well as being none. It is not about a 'system' or interpretation, but about being human. 

Darren focusses on subjects others ignore, because everyone, even 'teachers', are not even aware that they are subjects filled with immense power and awareness - subjects everyone seems to take so for granted they are forgotten.  These are things so intrinsic to our everyday functioning that most people cannot 'stand back' from them to observe them objectively.  This is where Darren comes in.

The key 'subjects' for entry-level students and enquirers are Sound & Language, Perception and Gender & Relationships.  

Darrens work in these fields really is different to anything else you may have experienced - so
even if you already know something about these subjects you may want to look again!  Have a look at the testimonials to see what others have to say!  

The Living Word
.
Because we are all already conditioned so intently in these areas, it is impossible to give you a 'snapshot' one-liner like we are all used to to give us insight into the subjects.  Your mind already thinks a certain way about each of them, and because it requires particular tools to break that conditioning, tools which are beyond 'words on a page/screen', you cannot get them by reading.  Hence, this work is about The Living Word, which is Darrens hallmark.  Living Words are words which, in skillful hands, can lift veils on your mind in a flash, when a thousand words on a page couldn't achieve it.  

This is the root of why all original systems of teaching were word-of-mouth only (even after writing came into use), because it is infinitely more powerful than any other form.

Darren helps guide you to breaking your conditioning and helps you get your feet firmly planted on the road to  true and genuine liberation from limiting beliefs, ideas, and behaviours.

Darren has this to say "When the destination is so different to the start point - there's no point in telling someone: how do you describe alaska to someone in the sahara? How do you explain the benefit of seeing to a blind person? How can you describe the colour 'green' and do it any justice? The benefits of my workshops are like this.  You will never see the world in the same way again....but to tell you how? and in what way? Its putting the cart before the horse and doesn't serve you - better to come with open heart, free spirit and a light mind - then, you will be primed for best benefit and greatest growth. "

Please feel free to browse, and if you have any questions, please contact us. The events on offer are mixed into those relating to social conditioning and its undoing, those relating to personal evolution, and those relating to social understanding, social issues, social control and more. There are also some more scientific projects relating to the nature of sound.

Darren is available to speak to or teach private groups and gatherings, if you would like to invite Darren to speak to your group, please use the contact us link on the menu on the left.

Waveform - The Wave is Forming!

beautiful tree in arenaThe Waveform Project Earthdance event was a roaring success.  For the first outdoor UK Earthdance event, we think everyone involved deserves a pat on the back!  For those that don't know, Earthdance is a global project spanning 340 events in 60 countries where groups of all sizes gathered to dance for world peace, to recite a prayer for peace and to take part in the H2OM project, sounding 3 OM's for the benefit of the waters of the Earth. 
It is estimated over a million people attended globally making this a truly staggering accomplishment!  At the Waveform project, around 3500 gathered for a 3 day festival which, for many, was the greatest event of the festival season!

The atmosphere was friendly, the setting beautiful, and the setup excellent with a decent green village, compost toilets, and all power being from sustainable resources. Of course, improvements can be made for next time, but for a first outing, this was a great start for UK Earthdance events!

Video Introduction! Significance of Sound

People who attend our workshops or events never fail to report being astounded by the content, yet visitors to the website seem somewhat bemused or lost.  This is because of a number of reasons (not least due to the organisation and content of the site).  To try to offer some greater insight in a more digestible form, we've decided to invest more in our lovely visitors and give some video content to help you understand some of the material.  Here, Darren (aka Magpie) examines the significance of sound.  Enjoy!

A Western Inheritance - Why These Classes Are Different

What makes our work here different from others you may come across is that it relates to our natural inheritance here in the West. You do not have to learn another language, or another cultural practice or any such other imported thing. 

We do use techniques from all over the world, but they are demonstrated in new ways to reveal their importance from a clear-to-see and easy-to-understand viewpoint rooted firmly here in our own culture and language.

Shamania Event

Sun lodge tipi at ShamaniaWhile the Glade festival turned into a complete mudbath where all workshops were cancelled, Shamania was blessed with lovely (albeit windy!) weather with spectacular views over Pendle Hill.  All three workshops went ahead and were a complete success, with some folks coming back for a second or even third dose! 

We had two morning slots for workshops and one early evening slot for a talk - we opted to run a Science of Sound  introduction one morning, a learning to SEE again one the next, and a grand finale of a Divded Unity introduction on the final day.  These went down a storm and we look forward to bringing them to more and more people as word spreads as to how interesting, exciting and profound each of them is.  Click read more to see a few images from the event.

This picture is of the beautiful Sun Lodge Tipi where half the workshops were held - much bigger than it looks!

Searching for this 'god' thing
For millenia the search for this 'god' thing has obsessed mankind in every area - religion, science & philosophy have all applied their full might to 'seeking'.  Yet we are told all we have to do is 'seek and we shall find' - clearly something has gone wrong....By now, surely, with all the millions of searchers, we would have collectively 'found' and agreed the fact.  This is factually not the case, so whats gone wrong?  Is it our searching methodology?  Evidence would say not, since it seems that wherever mankind has collectively applied theirselves to a given project, whatever it is, we usually make some progress, if not succeed.  No search has had the resource or sheer volume of people applied to it than the search for this 'god' thing - so whats wrong?  If its not our methods, whats else could it be?  Only one thing...that our perception of the object of our search, our idea/expectation of what we are looking for, this 'god' thing, is somehow flawed......

Natural Methods You Never Need to Discard

We all interpret the world differently.  But we actually all process it in exactly the same way.

Our approach is rooted in this.  These are not models of interpretation you will have to discard for the next class or workshop you go to, or the next time you have an enlightening experience - these models are based on human processing - how these mental, emotional and physical bodies have been conditioned to process the reality around us, and how to directly undo it.  Therefore, you never have to discard them  - they will fit into everything you have learnt so far, and much of what you will learn in the future.

Beings of Light?
How often do we hear 'We're all Beings of Light'?  Why is it then that we're not all sitting here saying 'well I can clearly see that you, my friend, are a being of light!'?  This is for a few very simple reasons to do with what light is and how it works....
