Soul Lights
Can you please help ?
Many, many years ago I wished to start my first spiritual retreat.
So I moved onto a property called ‘Gayatri’ and renamed it ‘New Veda’.
I offered weekend retreats and the place was soon buzzing.
Sadly, my partner at the time preferred a real estate agent…..
So, early one morning, without any notice of any kind, a removal van came up the drive and my partner advised me she was moving out…
With her that day went all the furniture and all her personal possessions.
Carpets, cups, grocery items, chairs, tables, beds, fridge….
I watched everything go down the drive…… including my relationship.
I was left alone in an empty building in an empty retreat with just my clothes for company.
I was devastated and in shock.
However, as the morning wore on my mood changed from distress to elation: all the clutter had been removed from my life and I was free!
Free!!
Really free!!!
I visualized a big Om and nothing else cluttering up my lounge room.
I visualized a simple, single bed holding pride of place in my bedroom.
I started to sing “Zippedy Doo Dah!”…….but then panic set in!
Another removal van was coming up the drive!!
I became worried in case she had changed her mind!
This second removals team soon stopped outside my totally empty house.
I stepped outside to advise them everything had gone on the first truck – but there sat three friends, including a lady called Irene.
Big grins spread across their faces.
I was perplexed.
“There’s nothing else to take” I smiled.
“I know” replied Irene. “That’s why we’re here. I knew this day would come and so I’ve been collecting furniture and fittings and storing it in my shed for when the day came. We found out this morning……so here we are!”.
Soon my home was lovingly overflowing once again with ‘things’.
And most importantly, I was overflowing with gratitude for their kindness.
Why do I tell you this story?
Well, Irene now has no home, nothing – all her possessions – uninsured – were destroyed in a fire.
Not so young anymore, she lives in her car and has done so for a couple of years.
But now that is mechanically unsafe and costs too much to repair.
She still helps people.
She offers her time free of charge to charities and is always looking to help others.
Maybe you have a spare older car you could gift her?
Or maybe a little help with money so she can buy another second-hand oldie-but-goodie car she could live in until some accommodation becomes available?
Or maybe even enough money so she can rent a small unit again……?
Every little bit will help this angel who has always helped others, myself included…..
She has a ‘go-fund-me’ page:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/from-car-to-community-give-irene-the-home-she-deserves
Every donation – no matter how small – will help Irene with everyday practical existence.
Thankyou for reading our story.
Have a beautiful, peace-filled week of gentle delights….
Les

Let’s Get Even More Positive!
This Week……….Let’s Get Even More Positive! Last week I acknowledged that society was mired in catastrophes and idiots. Many of you applauded my eleven suggested positive actions so I thought I’d take it one step further this week.

Answers can be golden….
I thought I’d approach this week’s article differently…. So I have included eighteen questions to, hopefully, challenge you a mite. You can use the questions to further your potential in this adventure we call ‘life’…… Lily Tomlin, famous actress who worked in films with Jane Fonda, once wrote: “I always wanted to be somebody but

David Attenborough celebrated his 100th birthday with around 5,000 people at a special concert at the magnificent Albert Hall in London recently. Splendidly attired, he proudly looked, moved and spoke as if he was no more than 75 years young. Royalty, the media, the financial, business, church and government elite all attended to honour a

Welcome to the Minority
Welcome to the Minority. I hope you’re enjoying the Group. Actually, it’s hardly a group in one way….. That’s because there is no-one quite like you in the world! So you are actually a group-of-one.

Message from Mordechai #1001
On 1st January 1991 I started “receiving” messages from a spiritual energy I came to know as ‘Mordechai’. Since then, my life and all of my workshops and teachings have been based on my association with this disembodied energy and its teachings. After some years, I stopped people watching me as I received its teachings
Your Focus Defines Your Reality
When we focus on a thing we bring it – and everything that relates to it (past and present) – forward for attention via our brain’s Reticular Activating System. These events include such things as our hurts, pains, past losses, past disappointments, griefs, mistakes and suchlike. However, the good news is that it also includes
Mothers Day
Honouring one’s mother should be as obvious as breathing. This weekend many people go one step further; so I am delighted to bring you a real-life story from a beautiful subscriber. Enjoy…….. About 12 years ago when Mother’s Day came around I had nobody to give an actual card to because both my husband’s
Practising Now For A Better Future Tomorrow
Is Spiritual ‘Healing’ for real – or is it just a fad and nonsense? Ask a surgeon and you’ll usually get one answer: ask a spiritual ‘healer’ and you’ll probably get a totally different answer…. So which one is correct? At the National Research Institute of Chinese Medicine in Taiwan a Qigong Master took just
THE WONDERFUL POWER OF SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS…..
I met a lady many years ago who, unknown to me, badly needed money. She placed a table outside her yard and displayed a great number of books for sale at bargain prices. Books are a passion of mine so I eagerly viewed her collection and bought several. Then a neighbour told me of her
TRUE SPIRITUAL HEALING
It has been pointed out to me that the example I recently gave of Jesus meeting the blind man resulted in the blind man regaining his sight. Are such “miracles” available today? My answer is a definite ‘YES”. In the Bible, Jesus is reported to have totally “healed” over sixty people of leprosy, paralysis, sickness,
Easter Greetings !
IMPERFECT IS PERFECTLY OK!! This Easter I’d like to address two issues that may seem vastly different but at a deeper level are closely related…. There were once two frogs who lived beside a lagoon in the countryside. They were Mabel and Abel. Mabel was partially blind, making it hard for her to see. She
EAGLES NEST HIGH IN THE TREES …
I was reminded this week of another story I told readers over 20 years ago. It’s worth repeating, I’m sure…… Eagles don’t climb trees to build their nests at the very top. They fly there. But eagles don’t automatically like great heights…… If they are forcibly grounded as chicks they happily fly low and
Dis-abled or Diff-Erently-Abled?
A reader asked me: what can I do to overcome my debilitating ailments? This is my answer….. Jesus was asked the same thing: in John 9 “…… as Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. ‘Master, whose sin caused this man’s blindness?’ asked the disciples, ‘his own or his
