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….

IS IT WISE TO HAVE FAITH AND TRUST?

Several people have asked me to address these issues…so here goes! Clearly, having faith and trust in human beings is risky. They turn. They change. Circumstances cause alterations and modifications. Every kind of relationship is subject to adjustment, like it or not. So faith and trust in human beings and their institutions is always subject

I FAILED AGAIN !

I titled my last book so badly that sales have nose-dived! How lucky am I…….failing at things can be such a wonderful teacher! (I am choosing to simply re-title it and some others at the same time). I know many people who get really disappointed (and even angry) when things go every way except the

WHO THINKS UP YOUR THOUGHTS?

Have you ever watched rain running down the window? Each drop seems to be competing with the next to get to the bottom first….your mind joins in the race. You take sides, hoping your chosen rain drop gets there before the others….. It’s called projection. You project your identity onto the raindrops. You project your

DO YOU REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE?

There was an old man who used to go to the nursing home religiously every day around breakfast time to see his wife. He’d stay half the morning, then come back later in the day to see her again. He never missed a day. And this was particularly remarkable because his wife had advanced dementia

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

When I was a homeless teenager on the streets of ‘the Cross’ I carried what seemed like the very worst of all burdens: I was ugly. Or so I thought. I had large tumours on my body and I thought I looked untouchable, rather like ‘the elephant man’. To cover my shame I wore long

SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE

Like most people, in my younger days when things went “wrong” I consulted psychics. Palmists, card-readers, clairvoyants of every ilk. And time and time again during the reading I would be told I had a special “guide” with me called (as best they could ascertain) Morkeye or Morchai or Morke or (most often) Mordechai. I

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

Everything is perfect just as it is, in every moment.

Neale Donald Walsch and myself share a number of things in common: we both changed direction after talking to God, both wrote books of our talks, both continue to help others to shine their Inner Light. (I encourage you to read his awesome books ‘Conversations With God”.) So, for a change, I’d like to offer

ARE YOU ‘A WORK OF ART’ ?

Do you recognize yourself as a Work Of Art? Now I’m not talking at all about your ego. Indeed, for many people their ego would happily describe them as anything but a work of art…..and for many others their ego would loudly declare their absolute superiority in just about everything…… No, this has nothing at

A LOVE BY ANY OTHER NAME…..

There are probably billions of people who can’t stand the word ‘God’. Others are passionately opposed to the term ‘Allah’. ‘Jehovah’ gets bad publicity from many quarters. Brahma, Vishnu, Siva remain quite localised – and Buddha and Krishna remain Teachers well below Jesus in the ‘divinity stakes’…… And then, of course, there’s the historical giants

THE DEATH OF WINTER……

Sometimes we just have to remember that all is always changing….. coming, going, here, there, then, now…… Nothing ever stays static: no moment, no event, no particle, no atom, no cell, no light, no wave, no movement, no metal, no mineral, no living life-form, no body. All is evolving, devolving, turning, churning, moving, assembling,  disassembling,

HOW’S YOUR HOLOGRAM?

Do you understand a hologram? It’s an optical storage system (somewhat like film) in which every tiny part of an image contains (in condensed form) the entire original image. So if you took a holographic image of a tree and then cut out a teeny weeny piece of just one itsy bitsy little leaf from

TIES THAT BIND US TOGETHER

It had been a long time since I had spoken to my father as he strongly preferred  that we not speak or see one another. And then he died. I felt it. The etheric ties that bound us together made me aware of his passing.   I naturally assumed his family – my stepmother, half

A TALE WITH TWO TAILS…….

Many years ago I took part in a casual rally through national parks between Canberra and Wollongong. The weather was atrocious, teeming down with rain;  and great care was needed on the muddy dirt roads. However, driving my trusty Toyota Landcruiser I felt totally safe. And I was  – but in an unusual way. I
