I’m sure you’ve heard it said that we are Spirit, having a human experience. That’s truer than we could ever imagine. On the one hand we are Spirit, eternal and limitless. We’re a spark of pure light, a prism within the kaleidoscope that we call God. On the other hand, we are intensely human. We live in a body that screams with pain, that laughs with joy, that lives with passion. We show the world our brightest side, and do our best to hide our inner demons, in terror that the world might see them and reject us, sentencing us to a life of loneliness and sorrow. We are forever on that tightrope of authenticity versus inauthenticity....
Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, tosee which inspirational saying and Young Livingessential oil or blend is choosing you today: 1. Why would I take advice from someone who cannot stand in my own shoes? That is like inviting someone to navigate my yacht whilst sitting on the shore. Oil Blend: Common Sense 2. I cannot serve two masters. I choose to be true to myself, or I choose to be liked. The choice is mine. Oil Blend: Clarity 3. My mind and my heart are both of this Earth, yet my consciousness is not. It is a part of God, the Spirit in all things. With my invitation, it can reach into this world to...
Did you know that there are two very different ways that we can give? One is a pure unconditional gift. We see someone in need, or asking for help, and we reciprocate by giving them what they are asking for. Most often they are asking for money, however money is simply a form of energy. It’s one of our Universal currencies, but not the only one. Someone could just as easily be asking for love or acceptance or forgiveness, or a roof over their head.It feels good to give in this unconditional way, doesn’t it? But is it really unconditional? And if it is unconditional, is it the “right” way to give? I’ve recently had the opportunity to...
As humans, we often get caught in polarity. We identify with black or with white, focussing on these as opposite poles. “I’m a caring good person; That person’s a selfish bad person.” But what we neglect to consider is that these two poles exist on a continuum, with many shades of grey in between. We are each salt and pepper, not black and white. Where do you sit in the black-white continuum? I have been re-reading (for the fifth time) one of the most impactful spiritual books I’ve ever read, which is The Lost Teachings of Atlantis by Jon Peniel. And I’m up to a section that talks about spiritual schizophrenia. It’s amazing how we can read a...
I was driving to Brisbane just before Christmas, and I saw a sign on the side of the road. It said, “Maintain safe space for the unexpected”. Although it was referring to maintaining a safe space between vehicles when driving, I realised it had a powerful meaning for my life. Maintain safe space for the unexpected. Wow – what a great message about life. As I think about my own life, I realise this is something I don’t do. I plan my year, but don’t allow enough space for the unexpected. And so when those curved balls then land in my lap, I find myself up to my eyeballs in things I’ve committed to, and inevitably I’m letting someone...
