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

THE MIND AND SOUL OF THE MATTER……

Last article I wrote that God is our heart, God is our breath and God is every living cell of every living life-form. I showed (I hope!) how science and religion are both “on the same page” although both parties use different words and concepts to express Existence. Science utilises mechanical and quantum constructs, religion

GOING INSIDE TO DEAL WITH THE OUTSIDE

I think we can all agree that the world gets everybody a little ‘down’ at the moment…..let’s face it, it’s an insane asylum! Politics, war, economics, medicine, industry, the environment – everything is up in the air and helter skelter. Australian government debt is now over 1.5 trillion dollars. Over 3 million Australians live below

IT’S EITHER ‘US’ OR ‘THEM’!

Last article I spoke about the Big Bang theory and how like every particle, atom, molecule, cell and living organism we deeply desire to embrace our own sense of Oneness once again because we’re a part of the Divine and can never be apart from it. This week let’s face what for many on planet

CAN THERE BE ONE-NESS IN AN OBVIOUS SEA OF OTHERNESS?

I imagine you’ve heard of the Big Bang theory? That’s the one where physicists say that out of an impossible singularity exploded the entire universe….. Or, as I would say, out of the Godhead came All That Is……… (Actually, they’re both the same thing except one is simply ego-driven; and the other acknowledges something far

HOW MUCH FAITH DO YOU HAVE?

Some 45 years ago I ran an advertising agency. Nanette was one of our Commercial Artists. She joined us whilst she waited to adopt a baby via the NSW government state adoption agency. Each few months the adoption people would visit her home (and her banking records) to check all was suitable. And then there

HOW MANY PROBLEMS DO YOU HAVE?

Dr Norman Vincent Peale was famous worldwide as the author of the best-seller “The Power of Positive Thinking”. But few knew how far he went to share his “gospel”……. One Sunday he was speaking at his Congregational Church in New York when the topic of “problems” came up. These days it seems almost everyone has

The Golden Buddha – WHO ARE YOU??

In 1957 the highway authorities in Thailand built a new highway to reduce congestion through the capital, Bangkok. Regrettably there was an old Buddhist temple in the way. It included a huge ancient Buddha statue, famous because it was made entirely of mud. Large cranes and equipment were brought in so it didn’t get damaged

Dear Friends, These are difficult times for many of us. Government “mandates” inhibit our freedoms. Society’s norms seem anything but normal.

Conversations With Spirit #39

I was eager to continue our previous conversation but worried where it might lead….so I gingerly asked…..   You said in our last talk that we are “blissfully ignorant” of where we are. Did that mean anything in particular? Everything I say has particular meaning, Les….. Okay, so what does it mean? Well, it means
