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:
When I asked for guidance about what I could write my blog about this week, the thought came to me in French “Aucune idée”. “Great”, I thought, “my spiritual helpers are going on strike – taking a week off and flying off to Maui to be with Doreen Virtue maybe”. But later, I realised that this really was to be the subject of my blog. Often when we follow our
Even though I try not to watch the news because it is so depressing, I know there seems to be a lot of conflict in the world at the moment. What do you think is the source of this conflict? If we look to A Course in Miracles for answers, we find that the source of conflict in the world is merely a reflection of the conflict within each one
A Course in Miracles has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride for me, since I started reading it a few weeks ago. There have been times, like when I first opened the book, when I wondered if I would ever understand anything. There have been other times when I have been confronted by my deepest fear and wondered how I would ever be free of them, because they seemed to
“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
I started another course this week: “A Course In Miracles”. I had heard about A Course In Miracles before: Marianne Williamson wrote about it in A Return to Love, and I heard Robert Holden talk about it at I Can Do It! Although they made it sound interesting, I hadn’t felt the call to read it - until now. When selecting my next course at AIHT, I knew that this
As I sit looking out of the window at the light rain falling, I am so grateful. The lawn had started to turn brown, and it crunched underfoot as I walked on it. I had been asking for rain for a while, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. By all reports, this weekend we are due for a good soaking. What better way to spend a drizzly day,
I found the inspiration for this week’s blog while cleaning my teeth this morning. I have one solitary wisdom tooth, but it still resides within my gum. Every few weeks, within the last year or so, it moves around a bit, enough for me to think that it might be about to make its way to the surface. Then it becomes dormant again for another few weeks, before it starts
Doreen Virtue’s Weekly Oracle Card Reading for this week ended with the 'God' card. Doreen explained that we are reminded to see God in everyone including ourselves - to look past the ego of the person to God’s essence which resides in every one of us. As I mentioned in last week’s blog, God can be found in all of his creation, if we look at it with an open
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.
