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….

Two challenging thoughts….

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

IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD!

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,

SAYINGS NOT WORTH SAVING….

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

TIME HEALS NOTHING….

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

We are ALL gifted beyond measure!

This Week………. We are ALL gifted beyond measure…… Dear Friends, I’m not being flippant and elitist when I write the above statement. I’m being truly authentic. I found myself today singing “How Great Thou Art”…..and I was reminded that everyone of us comes into the world (and retains throughout their life) three amazing gifts. These

I, ME, MYSELF AND MINE…..

  The above photo shows an exquisite  gold pendant of two facing wasps which was discovered in an ancient Minoan cemetery in Crete. It is at least 3,800 years old. That’s roughly twice the age of ‘civilisation’ since Jesus. The goldsmith combined several techniques to create the piece — filigree, granulation, repoussé and incised decoration.

LIFE AFTER DEATH

We may not want to but we all have to face death: both of ourselves and of our loved ones. There’s simply no way to avoid it. This week, my dear friend and colleague Maureen Cooke, Minister of The Church of Enlightenment in Port Macquarie, quietly transitioned. She was 95 and had given her life

BEING BORN AGAIN….

Dear Friends, A number of you have commented on how lucky we are to live in a community that is relatively safe. A couple mentioned they felt it was a conscious choice they made in spirit following their previous life….. As I hold a different view I felt I should “come clean” (although I realise

THINKING MAKES IT SO Part 2

This relates to her own experience with her own family….and I add a short experience of my own…. “………my husband Bryan’s 79-year-old mother, Edie, was diagnosed with end-stage breast cancer a few years ago. Her

THINKING MAKES IT SO

Dear Friend, This week I am sharing an email from Lynne McTaggart regarding the concept of “healing by intention”. She speaks so eloquently on the topic and her words are so helpful and valuable to those seeking healing of any kind for themselves, their friends, relatives or clients.

The Other Les Dyer…….

No-one is ever just one thing. A mother or father. A taxi driver. A doctor. A shop-keeper. A consultant. A mechanic. An electrician. A Hairdresser. A Fashion designer. A carpenter. A herbalist. Instead, we’re multiple persona in one body. So whilst most of you probably see me as Trudi’s partner or a self-empowerment columnist, self-realisation

A PRAYER OF HUMILITY

Dear Friend, Some people have written to tell me they’ve either “stopped praying” or “think prayer is childish”….. I totally understand. But I simply suggest that instead of simply discarding prayer or praying childishly to a kind of “Father Xmas” or “King of the Goodies” it’s far more powerful to simply RELATE – intimately and

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

Dear Friends, My recent Messages regarding Love emphasise the truth of our Being. But in a world of chaos and confusion how do we realistically retain our own inner calm and peace long enough to BE that love? For me, the answer came in one of my earliest conversations with the Divine: I was asked

ANOTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Dear Friends, The two Messages contained in my previous article emphasis that we already contain within ourselves – often deeply hidden – everything we are and need to be. We simply need to reveal our “True Being” to ourselves: no-one can do it for us. Indeed, whilst others may easily see our “true worth” it’s

THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL MY MESSAGES

Dear Friends, In 1991 (35 years ago) I channelled the first of many hundreds of messages from a spiritual source I came to know as ‘Mordechai’. This first message said: ‘There is nothing to do, Nowhere to go, Nothing to become Except your own True Self And this you but reveal unto yourself For you
