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….

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
Many wonder how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids……well, they did it using complex geometric calculations…algebra and trigonometry, quadratic equations and numerical calculations worthy of an AI machine…… That’s because they were a highly advanced society, rather like ours in some ways….. This is one of their manuscripts, now in the British Museum after 3500
The Pagan in All Of Us
To watch go to Ctrl+Click :https://youtu.be/CLzozhOrT3M Some of you are Christians, some Buddhists or Hindus, a few are Sikhs and a fair number follow Native Indian practices. A smattering probably describe themselves as “spiritual’. So who is on the winning team and who is barracking for the losers? And the answer is ‘everyone’ and ‘no-one’.

Homelessness – Please help if you can
Dear Friends, I’m sure we’ve all walked past people on the street who are homeless – and most of us have probably tried to avoid eye contact with a person who was maybe busking or otherwise seeking money purely for food. More and more people seem to be falling through the gaping holes in our
Be Extraordinary
This Week………. BE EXTRAORDINARY!! Anthony Robbins once said: “Why live an ordinary life when you can live an extraordinary one?”. I guess that makes sense to most people. But I feel most people miss the truth of the suggestion and instead think it means being outrageously successful in whatever work they undertake or unbelievably abundant
CHOOSING PEACE OVER DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY
Dear Friends, Like me, I’m sure you love the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and many of the more modern spiritual teachers. Lao-Tse (which means ‘The Old One’) often gets his wisdom relegated to gift plates and mugs. His real name was Li-Er and he lived around 2600 hundred years ago in China’s Henan Province.
TRUSTING the True Divine

Easter Sunday
Dear Friends, I follow no religion but relate to aspects of all of them to some degree. Below is a poem I wrote years ago regarding the Christian Easter. It forms one of 333 of my poems I will be publishing later this year. If either the word ‘poem’ or ‘Christian’ offends you please simply
THE GIFT THAT IS EASTER
https://youtu.be/t-nANIUCuZY For Christians, Easter celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus. In the same way that Moses (and all his people) crossing the very wide and rather deep Red Sea – the waters of which miraculously parted to create dry land – was almost certainly an apocryphal story (in other words, a pictorial rather than
THE HEART AND HOME OF LIFE IS LOVE
https://youtu.be/A8lJUFX4cS0 Everyone loves ‘home’. Those that have one, appreciate the roof over their head, the floor beneath their feet. Those that don’t have one, yearn for one. It can be a palatial palace or a simple hut. In my teen years, home for me was under the steps of a Kings Cross pub. It was

ACTING “AS IF…….”
In Judaism the story is told of the Israelites being slaves in Egypt and of their escape, led by Moses, across the Red Sea, decimating and drowning the Egyptian army and pharaoh chasing them. The sea’s narrow end is about 15km wide and 70 metres deep. We shall ignore the fact there is no Egyptian

WE ARE NOT ALONE!
This is possibly one of the biggest issues facing us today….are we alone? Most of us spend time in conversation with our friends wondering about aliens and ufo’s……Is anyone else ‘out there’? Are we safe? Are other life-forms more advanced than us? And the answer to all three of these questions is: Certainly. YES. But
WE CAN ALL SLIP SIDEWAYS IN THE MOMENT……
Swami Suchaproblem decided that if a President could create his own crypto currency out of thin air he, Swami, was allowed to create his own currency, too. So he created the Twenty-five dollar note, a perfect replica of the standard five, ten and twenty dollar notes…. It wasn’t until he’d printed them and distributed them
WE ALL MISS THE OBVIOUS SOMETIMES……
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went out camping one weekend. They took a tent big enough for a dozen men. During the night Dr Watson looked up at the stars in the sky and whispered “Are you awake Sherlock?” “I am” Sherlock replied. “Do you see the wonders of the universe above us?” “I do”
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. (Special reminder: my autobiography is now out!! Email for more details!) So whilst most of you
