I am incredibly grateful for Spirit guiding and supporting me when I was just a child and, in many ways, unaware, feeling unwanted and alone. I am equally grateful for Spirit then loudly advising me it intended to partner with me in the creative experience I call ‘my life’. Since then it has made itself … Read more

Dear Friends, Chuck Feeney was the founder of the Duty Free Shoppers company in the United States. During his lifetime he gave away all the excess money he made – over US$8 billion. That’s around $12.5billion in Australian dollars. (He gave over half a billion dollars to Australian medical researchers). His last years were spent … Read more

Dear Friends, I’ve been overwhelmed with replies to my last article regarding robots. Some replies were very poignant including this from Suzanne…. “I was thinking today, what will happen to our minds? Will it increase in speed as well? Is all evolution good evolution? Generations being born that will only know the faster pace? I … Read more

Dear Friends, Above is a photo of an actual existing, operational Chinese robot. Hangzhou-based ‘AheadForm’ creates “sophisticated humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact seamlessly with humans.” This one blinks, speaks, answers complicated questions moves her head from side to side, smiles, smirks and can use her eyes to scan … Read more

Dear Friends, Many of you are aware that Trudi and I are generally ‘vegetarians’ People often ask us ‘why?’….so here’s our answer…… (We don’t try to convince others to join us so you can read this without throwing out the Sunday family roast….)

We are the ones that stop fear from leaving. Our memory keeps … Read more

This Week………. Two Challenging Thoughts….. Dear Friend, This week I am sharing two challenging thoughts that may well upset some people but are probably best considered…… The first is that birthday presents are a missed opportunity. Where and when did the custom arise? Obviously, the Bible states that “Wise men from the East brought gifts … Read more

A correspondent last week wrote: “My pain issues are chronic, and I am struggling with the chaos and madness of this World….” I TOTALLY relate to even everyday healthy people struggling to come to terms with society’s madness and chaos. It’s endemic. War, social dislocation, rape and murder seem to be treated as normal. Theft, … Read more

Dear Friends, Last week I looked at the popular saying: “Time Heals All Wounds”. I thought I’d throw in two others for you to throw out….. The first: “Curiosity killed the cat”…… and the second:  “Ignorance is bliss.” They’re both interconnected and stupidly suggest we remain “blissfully” unaware… Unaware of anything that isn’t slap bang … Read more

Dear Friends, A WELL KNOWN saying says “Time Heals All Wounds”. I hold a different view on this matter which may distress some people: Time Heals NOTHING. Thinking that it “might”, “should”  or “could” only exacerbates the trauma and distress that this erroneous saying purports to assuage. Yes, we might push the hurt, fear or … Read more
