CHAPTER ONE

In the beginning…

Many of us who are touched by spirit can see things differently the big picture and outside the square, we have a ‘contented settlement of knowing’. We smile and feel the love that electrifies all around us. We can see the light. We’ve realized our journey has no end and that there are no words to describe the joyous wonder of being alive and spiritual.

Lesson No. 1

You can experience this contented settlement of knowing too. For the first lesson we will start with something simple, just relax the mind/body stop all thought, ‘Concentrate’ simply stand outside facing the sun and close your eyes and breathe in the warmth , breathe in your nose and out your mouth, raise your face to the light, open your arms slightly to open your chest as you breathe in say; ‘breathe in the light’, next breath, ‘breathe in the graciousness, breathe in the glory, breathe in the love, breathe in the spirit ‘, then relax and open your eyes, you will be smiling now and then carry on what ever you were doing a minute ago in a much happier frame of mind. By standing in the sun and breathing in the warmth we are absorbing energy on a spirit level.

Have you often wondered when good things happen to you, that they were meant to happen, that there are no accidents and no coincidences. I am a firm believer of this and know when I breathe in the light I am extremely happy and smiling and then nicer things just keep happening. We say that ‘when things happen, then they were meant to happen’, and ‘they happen for a reason’. We are where we are supposed to be.

We are creating a knowing and acknowledgement of what is around us, what we hear and see and smell and after a while it’s what we sense. Many times we are looking but not seeing… the colour of a flower, the azure blue sky in its many shades of blue, the golden leaves of a tree fluttering in the breeze.

We forget to smell the air… sometimes its pine, sometimes eucalyptus and sometimes smoke of a Cuban cigar. Some scent tickle the senses like perfumed Lilies, Jasmine and Wild Ginger and when they do, acknowledge it and say to your self this is a beautiful smell and tell the flowers how beautiful they are as you touch them with a finger to hold their gaze.

Listening to the rolling thunder, the birds singing and children’s laughter, you may want to acknowledge this and say what a wonderful sound. Or a Tenor singing from the heart, a waterfall singing from the heights and Angels singing from Heaven you would acknowledge this and say what a beautiful sound I wish it would go on for ever.

We all have the sixth sense, we always had it and we have forgotten it and now we can get it back and use it to the best of our abilities, as it is your free will or decision on whether you want to or not. Ask and you shall receive, it works. Be in touch with your surroundings and senses, be calm and peaceful and the most important is to listen.

Happiness creates more happiness its contagious also some of the time good things happen in threes and not so good things happen in three’s as well, and someone very special invented this wonderful simplistic world of mediocrity.

All life is a balance, all life forms are balanced, we don’t always see the fine print in the book of life and mostly miss the signs, but when you become intuitive the signs are a lot more obvious and your life just gets a whole lot more balance. Signs can come in many forms and you will learn them as you develop and become open to your own intuitive skills. Look through your eyes not out of them.

Some people cry, why me? When not so good things happen but do you say why me? when good things happen? Do you say someone else deserves this more than me? Some blame God for taking a child or for soldiers in battle, road accidents, aeroplane crashes, religion and they all ask the same questions. ‘Why me?’, ‘why have you taken my child’? ‘Why have you done this’? "Why am I being punished?’ ‘Why? Why? Why? They all want the big answers.

I have heard act of God. But tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions and flooding are all acts of nature, as man destroys the very living earth he dotes on, so it should read ‘Act of Man’ Our greenhouse canopy of thousands of years ago is gone and we have exposed ourselves to the elements, and destroyed the natural forests, depleted the fertile soils shame on us.

We are all guilty, we drive and we burn and pollute just to name a few. We should be out there growing trees and living off the land and reserving water and we should be mindful of the vastness of beauty that surrounds us and appreciate everything we have while we still have it. There is no going back from desert or draught, the layers are being peeled off like an orange and we are left with the pith.

In my own mind an act of God would be touching you on the shoulder and telling you, you did a good job, or leaning over a fence and sharing chicken soup with a poorly neighbour, or telling someone you love them. God is love, graciousness harmony and light.

We are created out of love why would God intentionally harm his own creation. He gave us his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. And Jesus loves us all and he died so we can have FREE WILL and he wants us to remember this. This means that we are free to choose our own destiny and free to make our own decisions. We made our own plans and we all have our own journey.

Some of you might think that people who are spiritual don’t believe in God, but we most certainly do, many of us have witnessed his great work and have known his messengers, his Arch Angels, Angels and Guides. Many of us wish to help by spreading the word and helping where we can to share with others in need and sometimes just to listen.

Negative attitudes…

Some negative people with attitude don’t want to understand about love and life and they get so caught up in their own self destruction and resolve to be angry and so frustrated they just look and they cannot see themselves but through someone else’s eyes and then they look for someone to blame their own misfortunes on and create bad behaviour. This blame must give them some sense of importance and control but in the end it doesn’t really and it won’t settle in their insecure minds until they reflect and learn to love themselves. Sometimes bad behaviour runs through generations before it is wiped out and only when one family member stands up and says ‘that is enough’.

This blame sometimes goes internal and they look at themselves in the mirror and don’t like what they see, it isn’t good enough! Or they look at their lives and think I was dealt a poor hand! Where is my palace and where is my Mercedes? They also lash out in anger and hurt people even murder to make a point or to take something that doesn’t belong to them because they don’t have it. Vandalism and arson come to mind; the disrespectful age where they are thinking if I can’t have it then no one else can or I’m going to get them back for destroying my life or firing me and the biggest crippling word for these people is ‘NO’.

From Spirit; ‘Grass always grows greener on the other side’. Just be grateful for what we’ve got!

Self destructive thoughts lead to physical abuse, someone gets a bash for looking at someone else the wrong way, or you get a bash for being the wrong colour or the wrong religion. You get bashed for being rich by thieves in home invasions, you get bashed for having a nice car in car-jacking, you get a bash for being a prostitute trying to make a living, you get bashed for being in the right place at the wrong time, bash, bash, bash and more violence, when will it all end?

The hard question is, is when are we going to learn to love each other? Crime along with population is on the rise, it’s not because there is more criminals it’s because there is more people to do it. In some down to earth cases its survival some people steal to live. Spirituality is on the rise as well, because there are more people who have found the love and happiness and understanding they need in their lives and have opened their hearts and minds to acceptance that there is a better way and a better life ahead. Some spiritualists have had the bashing or criminal beginnings and they reflected on their lives and made a change for the better and they found that the path to eternity is for every living soul on this planet, God loves us all.

Lesson No. 2

Stand in front of a mirror and look into your eyes and say out loud or in your mind I love you. Say it with conviction, mean every word, and say it over and over like music and singing and you will be smiling now. Do this every day, and know that we all love you too and are sending our thoughts and prayers to every one on this planet and beyond to our home.

I wasn’t always a happy healthy loving person but I kept my negative thoughts under control. I had to learn the lessons the hard way and reach out and ask for help. I did have standards though and didn’t let myself be dragged down so low that I couldn’t get back up. I had rules and lived by them. Walking away from a confrontation is the best policy.

Low self esteem…

In my experience I said why me?, when contact with a guide was made for the first time I couldn’t believe that spirit would be bothered with a no body, not important like me. There were gentle comforting guides in the beginning then more experienced or highly evolved guides came later. I don’t know how to describe them in categories and shouldn’t but they rise up levels too like us and achieve and have different levels of learning and teaching just like being in school. The first contacts I made were close family and I guess this is so we won’t be afraid, as it would help us a lot to believe if we saw someone we already had known first like a mother or father.

The Universe is waiting…

So the more we want to learn about spirituality the more spirit want to teach us and a guide comes to teach us at different levels. They ease us into it, gently and patiently caring about our needs. They also understand that we have physical lives to deal with as well and graciously do not intrude in our privacy. They come when we are ready for them to come, and sometimes when we have asked for this connection and to guide us, and not lead us or tell us.

I made a mistake several times calling on them for help when things were getting too tough for me to deal with and expected them to help me deal with the problem, and I have pleaded with them to take me away several times when it was all too much. I would be crying and sobbing my heart out and beg, ‘Please take me from here, I don’t want to be here anymore’.

But not calling upon them for every aspect of life even in my happiest moments. I needed to respect them more and treat the situation more responsibly and to understand that it is not a game. I now regard them as my friends and even joke with them and they have had some quirky responses. They are always here, listening to everything I say and do and answering my questions.

There is no us and them, we are all spirit we just have this awesome body to carry around for a few years. This body of perfection, as we know it is very demanding and an intricate piece of equipment that we need to fuel as best we can and educate the mind to the best of our ability. The City of Angels movie made me think about what spirit don’t have like taste buds. We can eat delicious food and taste it, and in spirit we can just see it. I do say from time to time to spirit about how nice this food tastes and add, ‘I wish you could taste it through me’. I call it ‘the food of the Gods’ when food is absolutely delicious.

CHAPTER 2

Food of the Gods that I have tasted

A strawberry picked fresh from my garden tasted like, it had already been coated in icing sugar, I eat a passion fruit and the taste is liquid passion. Picking fresh Cranberries and squeeze into your taste buds. I say It’s to die for.

Body fuel…(A)

To fuel our bodies we need fresh air in sunlight and natural foods organically grown in sunlight and a happy disposition while preparing the food like playing harmonious music or singing. This is not always easy but we should strive to do the best we can.

Food is plentiful and grown naturally in season just for us. Have you ever wondered why we have citrus fruit with the incoming winter chills? We also have winter vegetables to nourish us. The obvious answer is to raise our vitamin and mineral levels to help ward off all ailments. I believe when food is plentiful then we should store it away for leaner times. E.g. preserving or freezing and when we look around we are being provided for in many ways.

Fresh rain water, and fresh fruit and vegetables grown locally and to the conditions that is all we need. In my world there is no such thing as ‘food on demand’; we don’t demand to have grapes in winter. We should just simply be very grateful to what we are given with love in the right season and the right purpose.

We are currently living in luxury and are spoilt for choice. When one fruit/vegetable variety ends another has already started and they over-lap and I believe we should only eat such fruit/vegetable in its natural season grown in its natural ways and ripened with natural sunlight. We have variety and we have to learn to share.

I don’t believe in imported fruit and vege as they’re sprayed with chemicals that are absorbed into the skin. And or ripened in a chiller’, this is all so our current high societies can have food of choice on ‘demand’ when chosen out of season and not have to wait for the season to come around again. How can a fruit or vegetable be nourishing not ripened by our sun’s energy? Covered in chemicals and scientifically modified e.g. made bigger or more colourful to look nice. The residues of the chemicals are eaten by us and make us sick over time.

Water cool and clear…(B)

We should also nourish our bodies with crisp clear water free of contaminants and chlorine substances. The best water is glacial, straight off the ice and it tastes beautiful. And stilled rainwater collected from our own tanks. I don’t know about others but I detest the water from the tap in towns. I can’t drink it without boiling it first or adding flavour and although I’m being asked to drink more by my friends it just seems almost impossible. I call the water janola bleach or copper because that is what I taste.

Do you think that if we ate healthy in season food and the correct amount then we wouldn’t need pills or medication supplements? There are so many drugs on offer that are thrown down our throats that when we walk we’ll rattle. I believe that we are growing into a sicker society, there is a lot of promotion on medicines that we don’t need. Superficial ailments can be fixed by diet.

We may be living longer because of more drugs and preservatives but we’re not healthy and where do surplus pills and medicine end up? There is no where to dispose of them and preservatives stored in our bodies where does all that go when we pass?, it will be all leached back into our soils and in turn leached into our hidden waterways for future generations and soon all will be contaminated and inhabitable because of what we choose to eat.

Bad Habits…

We stimulate our bodies with caffeine and alcohol and cigarettes which are all depressants. We think we can’t get through the day without 3 cups of coffee before breakfast, because we have conditioned ourselves to think that way and its bad habit forming.

The effects of stimulants are negative numb thinking, depressing thoughts, tears and anger. It all stays in your body until you flush it out. One cup of coffee can affect you for around 4 hours and doesn’t budge until you have water and something to eat like a sandwich to soak it up. The pulse races along with the mind and this is detrimental to our health. If I just have one mouthful of coffee then I get a piercing headache and dull ache in my chest as it goes down and I tremor until it leaves my body.

A cup of coffee or glass of alcohol is all associated with smoking. These are three poisons we don’t need, be kind to you.

Smoking is a trap, tantalising the taste buds and blowing the brain cells and damaging our lungs and kidneys. As soon as you make a cup of coffee you light up. As soon as you get a jug of beer you light up. As soon as you pull out a cigarette you light up! People like to keep their hands busy and a reformed smoker knows this and has to find something else to do to keep their hands occupied.

We drink alcohol regular, because while we are drinking we are having fun and forgetting the everyday problems and can’t wait for the next drink to come. I call it being marinated ready for the spit roast. In the hours in between when we are at work or home we are depressed and things get us down, then we drink and we’re happy again. I have knowledge of these things and know we’re better off health wise without it, it is after all a lesser condition of control but when it’s got you the battle starts.

I have heard that alcoholics come to realize they can have fun sober and it’s just as good. Drinks with caffeine make the heart beat faster and falsely make the brain believe it can work faster, this is all unnatural and damaging. Stimulants and adrenalin rushes are dangerous and can cause major damage to our bodies. Coffee keeps peoples brains stimulated so they can stay awake all night long when exhausted, it’s called being wired. Fatigue sets in but the brain doesn’t know how to slow down. People always tell themselves that they can stop any time, how about NOW.

Body exercise…(C)

With the body fuel come the body exercise, and it is a word people run away from, like me, someone has to motivate the first step. I know that it isn’t easy to get started but we just need to take that first step. I get an awesome feeling when I’m walking and can do 5kms easy and the more I do it the more I want to do it. Its a slow steady build up, you start off small distances and when you feel confident then move further but do not do a marathon on the first day.

Enjoy what you are doing and then a lot more fresh ideas will come to you about things that you like to do. It is all about habit forming. When you have told your mind a few times about what you are doing then the information is registered there and your mind reminds you its time to GO.

Sometimes we are not always in a position to do this with a work load and slip back easily. Getting started is the first part and there are all the excuses, no where to walk, a narrow road, no walking shoes, and battery is flat in the iPod or it’s raining or I’ll start tomorrow or the dog is tired!

Walking is the only way I can exercise and I’ve tried the gym thing but if that is your thing and it works for you by all means go! I was joined by spirit on my walks and it can be peaceful and a person can think here and not have the thumping music that goes on in a gym. The company I had motivated me to do more and what I saw and heard and felt was very uplifting all I needed was you guys always helping. Walking and breathing in fresh air and drinking in fresh water, very simple.

Lesson No. 3

Walk with sunshine and breathe in the light. Everything in moderation and be mindful that you are in control. Be happy and laugh and as you walk appreciate your surroundings and acknowledge the beauty and look to the heavens and say ‘Thank you for everything. ‘Thank you for the blue sky and thank you for the cool breeze in my face and thank you for coming’.

Food without thought…

Societies have changed us into a quick heat and eat lifestyle and fast food leads to fast fat. Laziness follows the more you eat the slower you become and the less you do. We are evolving headlong into a very short future; the retirement fund will be non-existent soon so why save for it now, just give the money to someone else to cook for you.

If an over weight person could be shrunk and put in a capsule and they travelled around inside their own bodies and realized the problems they caused they would lose weight immediately. Their heart would be surrounded by fat and finding it difficult the beat. The muscle tissue is all jelly and the lining under the skin and in the blood vessels would be all coated in solid fat, so the arteries are narrow so the blood can’t travel as fast. The stomach would be several times its own size and expanding. Some people need to break their habits and form new ones and be in control of their own destiny.

Societies are also losing the culinary skills required to survive in the preparation of a very simple cooked meal. In the future we’ll end up with another pill to take and it will be a 3 course meal in one, no cooking or kitchen required. We are already buying washed and sliced tinned products, microwave dinners, instant this and recycled that! We do not know what ingredients are lingering in prepared food; salt and sugar are added so we are led into a trap to eat more. You will come to realize that every time you eat salty then you crave something with sugar, it’s a balance between the two evils, fish and chips go with coke. Coffee goes with cake. Tea with biscuits. Salt tricks the body into eating more food although people argue that salt brings out the flavour of food, really? Salt brings out the taste of salt.
