Following Dr Wayne Dyer’s passing a couple of weeks ago, like many people, I felt a great sadness, even though I knew that it was always his choice when and how he wanted to leave this plane. I was grateful, however, to read the message that Margaret brought through Gerry Gavin, which gave Wayne an opportunity to speak to all of us again. http://gerrygavin.com/category/messages-from-margaret/ As I read this message, all
“The simplest pattern is the clearest. Content with an ordinary life, you can show all people the way back to their own true nature.” This morning, as I read these words from the Tao Te Ching, which appeared on the Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life perpetual calendar on my kitchen table, I was reminded of the passing this week of the beautiful soul who produced this calendar –
In my blog a couple of weeks ago, God’s Truth, (http://www.lorelletaylor.com/gods-truth/) I compared the God I had been learning about in the Bible with Tomorrow’s God, who I had learned about from Neale Donald Walsch. This week I have been studying a book which has had me questioning my beliefs about Jesus’ life and death. The story of Jesus life is pretty well known by most people, even if they
Last weekend I was at “I Am Light” with Dr Wayne Dyer and Anita Moorjani. I had a wonderful weekend, and felt myself getting lighter after listening to all of their lessons, particularly the meditation. I had heard Wayne speak a number of times before, and read many of his books, and Anita’s book, Dying To Be Me, had had a real impact on me, as it did on most
I started a new course at AIHT during the week – Biblical Studies. After finishing reading Jesus: My Autobiography (by Tina Louis Spalding) last week, a channelled book in which Jesus told the true story of his life and mission, I thought I was finally ready to tackle a task I had been putting off. My father had been a Congregational minister before I was born (he had to give
(Lukas Haas, playing Samuel in Witness) I have been reading a book called Jesus: My Autobiography, by Tina Louise Spalding, which is a channelled book in which Jesus corrects all the misperceptions and false accounts of his life and his teachings that have been perpetuated by the Christian Church. In this book, Jesus advises us to stop watching movies and television programs that involve murder, because that perpetuates our belief
I was thinking this morning that, as I near the age of 60, I am finally just about feeling happy in my own skin. By that, I mean it has taken me nearly 60 years to value myself as an individual and to feel content with who I am, most of the time. I began to wonder if it takes everyone this long, and if our culture fails to instil
The quote for May 30 from the Tao Te Ching, in Dr Wayne Dyer’s perpetual calendar: Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life, is this: When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.When goodness is lost, there is morality.When morality is lost, there is ritual.Ritual is the husk of true faith, the beginning of chaos. My understanding of this quote is that, even when a strong connection to God
Last week’s blog left me feeling a little overwhelmed. There are so many things happening in the world with the potential to cause us fear, without reading more in a spiritual book, or writing about them in my own blog. http://www.lorelletaylor.com/think-twice/ I was especially troubled when I heard of the loss of lives in rapidly rising flood-waters, so close to my home. As I stopped to feel compassion for those
Just as the world seemed to be in turmoil this week from earthquakes, volcanoes and the like, inspiration for my blog this week seems to be in a bit of a turmoil too. When the weather starting looking yucky on Thursday, my husband looked out the window and said sarcastically: “Oh good, another day in paradise”. I told him that that reminded me of a song that my bus driver
