Dianthe Bells

... thus I lingered in a childhood of ambrosial essence, writing within a bedroom of lavender water-colour. The Australian bush was my lilac awakening to the occult; the secret rosy bower of life. Days and nights are intones of writing, poetry and art. Imagination is the bonfire of my soul. A most admired and loved author is Edmund Shaftesbury (1852-1926), whose volumes implode the mind cells. We cannot speak of Imagination without Neville Goddard (1905-1972), nor shall we see within the Veils unless we study and experience Desire and Will through William Walker Atkinson (1862-1932).

What bluebird whispered a secret? What is the magical thread between desire and imagination? Every page drops golden coins.
