I often hear the term, ‘teach what you need to learn’. So, in the hopes that this actually works, I wanted to teach you what I need to learn. As many of you know, my dog, Cassie, has had her foot in a bandage for over a month now, after having an abscess on her toe. Every time we go to the vet, I think: “Today will be the day
For my French class, I am required to write a short essay about a prominent figure in French history. I chose Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc), firstly, because she is a woman, and there are very few of those who are prominent in French history, and secondly, because it is claimed she spoke to God. Historians have often speculated about her mental health, and why the king of France would
As you might have seen, last weekend I attended a Oneness event – The Phenomenon and the Boon (the Gift). I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I was prepared to not like it and not to enjoy myself, but in spite of myself, I managed to have a wonderful time and to gain so much from the weekend, that it is difficult to put it all into words. The
I just watched Sonia Choquette’s video newsletter, in which she talked about the energy of everything coming back to life which she found, as spring becomes apparent in the northern hemisphere. She talked about planting the seeds of possibility of a couple of things you want to experience, one which is a big deal for you to manifest, and the other which you feel is less of a stretch to achieve,
I hadn’t had much time to think about blogging today and now that I have, time is getting away from me. So I thought I would offer you an excerpt about time from one of my books: We Are One. Angela, the character in my books, learned to have conversations with God, just as Neale Donald Walsch and many others had done before her. There is nothing special about Angela,
By the time I sit in front of my computer each week to write my blog, I usually know what it is going to be about. I usually receive some inspiration in the form of a song, or a thought appears in my mind whilst meditating, or just while I’m going about my work around the house. This morning, I had a thought of what to write about, but immediately
As I look outside my window as I type, I see a growing river of water flowing through my back yard, fed by the stream coming through our breezeway and along our back verandah. I can also see a soggy butcher bird and a few mickey birds (noisy miners), sheltering from the heavy rain in our gazebo. A short time ago, we had a power outage for about 40 minutes
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
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,
