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:

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….

DOES YOUR INTENTION HOLD YOUR ATTENTION ?
Dear Friends, This year society is in for more than its ordinary share of chaos, politically, economically and socially…… So what can we personally do about it? Not much. But we can ensure we don’t have chaos in our own lives!! We best do this by ensuring our positive intentions hold our moment-by-moment attention. Instead,
MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE….
Dear Friends, The New Year is arriving and it’s surely the ideal time to make the Impossible possible! You may ask: how can you make the impossible possible???

SoulLight: It all adds up….
Dear Friends, The New Year is almost upon us so I thought I’d help you get ready to ADD it to your experiences…. First, grab a calculator if you have one….. Choose any three digits (example 839) Repeat the digits so they get a six figure number (e.g. 839839) Divide that number by 13 Now

12 weeks later
Twelve weeks ago I suggested an exercise: “What will you do that’s different next week? Make a list of 12 changes – one a week for the next three months – that will brighten your life and give you greater sparkle and joie-de-vivre?”. Some people asked if I’d be joining in myself…..I said yes.
THE ROAD AHEAD
This, without doubt, has been one of the most troubling articles I have received from Spirit and have ever offered….. I have kept to the content of the message, changing it only where necessary to personalise it……. THE ROAD AHEAD Our world is speeding toward a time when a “new faith” will be required.
A TALE OF TWO OUTCOMES…..
165 years ago next month Charles Dickens published his famous and once-very popular novel “A Tale Of Two Cities”. It opened with the prophetic words: “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times….” Since then, two terrifying world wars, over 35 other terrible wars, a catastrophic worldwide multi-year depression and seven
DOCTOR! DOCTOR!
Dear Friends, Australians closely reflect the societal norms of the US: 60% have a chronic disease 42% of middle-aged women report feeling burned out 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness 2 in 5 adults are overweight (1 in 3 are obese! We also closely follow US medical practices so many of us are
ABOUT ‘ONE-NESS’…….
I often use the term ‘One-Ness’ and it concerns me that many people have trouble genuinely getting their head around its meaning… Like the term, “God” it means different things to different people. To some it is gibberish, to others visceral and to still others simply outside reality. So please let me help, if I
ABOUT ‘GOD’…….
I often use the term ‘God’ and it concerns me that I rarely explain what I actually mean when I use that word… I realize that it means different things to different people. To some it is childish, to others sacred and to still others it can be quite offensive. So please allow me to
YOUR AILMENTS ARE YOUR GUIDES!
Do you have a bad back ache? Or a bad headache? Maybe a pain in the neck? Arthritis in some joint? Ulcers or bleeding gums? A leg that stops you from running? Or a stiff neck that makes it hard to swivel your head? Everyone of us has issues – they come with living! Whatever
WHAT IF YOUR BODY BELONGS TO GOD?
In 1956 Porter Wagoner wrote a very clever poem called “If Jesus Came To Your House”. A few of the lines included: Would you have to change your clothes before you let Him in? Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been? Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you planned to
Soul-Light Guest Article on Brain Health & Repair
Dr Dave Eifrig is both an esteemed American physician and a highly regarded stockbroking advisor whose regular advice I respect.

DEATH: A DYING BELIEF SYSTEM
Dear Friends, I write a great deal regarding human behaviour but at the end of the day I am primarily a Spiritual Teacher, Counsellor and Guide…. It is for this reason that this week I feel Spirit encourages to remind everyone that there is no death. Now…..how do you prove the veracity of such a
THE GIFT OF SUFFERING
Your immediate response is probably: how on earth can suffering possibly ever be a gift??! I believe the answer is that suffering can be used as a gift…. And that’s good news as everybody suffers in one way or another. And there’s lots of ways to suffer: emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, socially, racially….. And we
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING….
In the 14th Century a writer wrote “the proof of a pudding is in the eating’. In other words, unless you experience a thing for yourself you cannot be sure. Unless you bite into the pudding how can you know what it tastes like? Others may tell you it’s good, it’s bad, it’s tasty, it’s
MEDICATION OR….. MEDITATION, MANTRA, MUSIC, MAGIC
Let’s be frank. The world is moving into turmoil – economically and socially. Sadly, it is getting worse and becoming more chaotic. Most of us turn to medications when ill-ness or crises comes. We reach for the pills, the drugs, the drink or the avoidance. We blame it all on ‘them’ and suffer in silence.
PEACE IS THE ANSWER
I do all I can to stay out of politics. I am a Spiritual Guide. So this is about as political as I get……. Peace is the natural behaviour of every sentient being. Everything else is insanity. That is obvious (and if it isn’t my point is proven). Peace is the only effective, loving, constructive,
BEING IN REMISSION
Many of us are in remission. Some in remission from cancer. Some in remission from physical pain. Some in remission from emotional trauma. Others have had a debt or a penalty remitted. Or even a jail sentence. In all these cases (and more) the sense of remission is often like a heavy weight that hangs
