I was sitting on our terrace this morning, eating my breakfast, when I noticed hundreds of butterflies passing by. My husband remarked that the really hot day yesterday may have influenced this event. As I watched them, fascinated, I couldn’t help but draw analogies between the journeys which these butterflies were taking and the journeys of our lives. They seemed to be all heading in the same direction from roughly
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
I was reminded yesterday how much I’ve changed over the years. Yesterday I heard about the stick insect that my great niece has been keeping as a pet for 6 months. I had no idea that stick insects could be kept as pets, so I was interested to find out all about it, and when I got home I googled and found this: http://australianmuseum.net.au/Care-of-Stick-Insects/ I remarked when I heard about
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
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
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,
