In my card reading for this week, I spoke of my feeling that it was going to be a bit of turbulent week. Unfortunately this proved correct on a national level, but also on a personal level, and I think the two are related. Unless you have been living in a bubble this week, you would have heard about the siege in Sydney. I am sure that this was particularly
I am in the process of reading Sonia Choquette’s book called Walking Home – A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed. It is the story of her pilgrimage to walk the Camino, an arduous journey of some 800 kilometres from the French border to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. Whilst the journey seemed rather tortuous to her body, she found that her mind and spirit were freed of many burdens
This time of year is always busy with present buying and organising everything for Christmas. There is usually so much to do for other people, it is easy to forget to look after yourself. Apart from buying yourself a physical present, there are many ways that you can give yourself a gift. One is to follow your feelings. By only doing what you feel like doing when you feel like
If you have been reading my blogs about what I have learned from A Course in Miracles, you will remember that the mind is split between our God mind (the part that thinks as God thinks) and our ego mind (where any perceived errors occur). This split occurred when we decided to separate ourselves from God. (We are never really separated from God, but we have convinced ourselves that we
After studying A Course in Miracles, I have come a lot closer to reconciling many of the different beliefs of different religions which I have learned about. Not being an expert on any religion, I would be grateful if you point out any beliefs which I inadvertently misrepresent. I think I have resolved a couple of the major differences between Christianity and Islam in relation to Jesus’ death and his
I had a wonderful weekend in Melbourne at Doreen Virtue’s Angel Oracle Card Reader workshop. It was a weekend filled with angels. Having written my blog last week about my spiritual backup team, they were in the forefront of my mind as I arrived in Melbourne. I had already set them the task of organising a room with a view of the sea. I was very pleased, but not surprised,
Last week I mentioned that I am aware of my spiritual back-up team – angels, spirit guides, archangels, ascended masters, and God. (There might be some I left out, but I’m sure they won’t be offended.) I realised during this week that I often take them for granted. I often fail to ask them for help, and when I do, I often forget to appreciate the help I receive. This
This week’s blog is definitely a case of my teaching what I need to learn, but I know that this is always the case. It is easy to become disillusioned in today’s world. Even if we try not to expose ourselves too much to the doom and gloom of the world portrayed by the media, we find ourselves affected by it, nonetheless. It is easy to feel like the world
I am getting closer to the end of my study of the text of A Course in Miracles. Although I can’t say that I have enjoyed every minute of it, I have been filled with joy for most of my time in studying it. It has brought up some issues in me that need release, and at times I have been confused about it, but after just about finishing it,
Last week my blog discussed our cruelty to animals and the guilt that that caused us to feel, whether we recognise it or not. This week, I wanted to remind everyone just how important animals are to our welfare, In the past, we have only considered animals of importance if we had some way to use them for our benefit. This is the way that the ego looks at everything:
