I saw a video on facebook yesterday advising me to PAY ATTENTION! It was mainly referring to the way we disengage from our family in order to watch television, write text messages, and …watch videos on facebook. However, it started me thinking about the way our society has trained us to tune out the world around us. God created a world filled with love, but when we spend our lives
I saw an article on facebook recently about a woman who had been rescued after 7 years on a desert island. According to the article, she had lost her mates and her boat in heavy seas, and ended up on a desert island, where she lived on coconuts, until she finally managed to kill a goat, which apparently took some effort. The story said she was rescued after a kid
2015 is already shaping up to be a wonderful year for me, not so much because of anything that has happened or anything I’ve done, but I seem to have been realising the effects of a New Year’s resolution, without ever having consciously made one. If I had made one, the resolution would have been “Lighten up on yourself!” I had heard the words for years from my angels and
Happy New Year everyone! When a new year begins, it is a good time to stop and reflect on the year which has just past and what we would like to change. What would we like to change about ourselves, about our jobs, about our home, our family, our environment? We usually find that exterior changes are easier to make than internal ones. We sometimes make New Year’s Resolutions and
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
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
“There’s no time like the present,” my mother used to say, when she wanted me to do something that I was procrastinating about. Perhaps what she really meant was: “There’s no time but the present.” My lessons from A Course In Miracles have taught me that, for our real spiritual selves, the present is really all that exists. I had learned previously that God is in the present moment, but
As I mentioned in my blog a few weeks ago, I believe that the story of the Garden of Eden is a ‘memory of the future. Since the day we humans made the choice to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and thus experience the rich spectrum of life which this fruit gave us, we have been on a journey back to Eden. In his
As I mentioned in previous blogs, I have been doing a course on Feminist Theology at AIHT. This has made me consider the perspectives from which we view the world, and to attempt to understand the cause of some of those perspectives. The reality that we perceive in the world is shaped by our past experiences, so each one of us looks at the world differently. Even though there are
I started a new course this week at AIHT (American Institute of Holistic Theology) called Feminist Theology. I was speaking about it in my French class, and the teacher asked me why I wanted to do that course. I told her, as best I could in my limited French, that my reason was because there are lots of women living under oppression. I explained that the book I am reading
