THE GIFT THAT IS EASTER
For Christians, Easter celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus.
In the same way that Moses (and all his people) crossing the very wide and rather deep Red Sea – the waters of which miraculously parted to create dry land – was almost certainly an apocryphal story (in other words, a pictorial rather than realistic explanation of something) the Death and Resurrection of Jesus can be viewed as equally apocryphal.
In the Moses story it obviously emphasised the life-saving and wondrous benefits of following the commands of Elohim (God).
In the Jesus story the death and resurrection of Jesus emphasises not only the continuation of life no matter what happens (even death) but the incredibly good times still to come for each of us…..both here and there.
The Easter message in this way emphasises the wondrous truth that no matter how awful things may be in the moment, the moment will pass and better options will open up.
Every moment passes and beneficial options always present themselves.
That even covers death itself.
But it also covers a myriad of everyday troubles and woes like bankruptcy, divorce, sickness, loss of a job, loss of a home, loss of a beloved one, a good friend or of a pet, loss of any longed for opportunity…….
When a storm passes a rainbow often appears.
What storms are you having to endure at present?
Are you able – like Moses, like Jesus – to recognise the immense value of trusting yourself enough to surrender to Divine Will?
Even ‘though right now you may be experiencing injury, hurt, pain, fear, grief, distress ……..this too shall pass.
In no way do I make light of them but…….
In your own unique way you will cross your own Red Sea to safe pasture.
You will die to your own unique troubles and find renewed life waiting on the other side.
Terrible trials and tribulations challenge us all from time to time.
But as the Masters tell us – Jesus especially at Easter – trust in the Divine and give thanks for the treasures that always lay ahead……
Blessings,
Peace Be Within You!

THE GARDEN OF PEACE
Every week so many of you communicate with me – thankyou so much! This week I’d like to share two recent emails relating to my Peace article. The first is a poem from Brian Bell …… The second is an article from Stella Margaret…… . . . . . . . . . . .
WHAT WOULD LOVE DO NOW ?
This is the single, most important question anyone can ever ask themselves. Through earnest contemplation of this question can every concern of life be resolved. Through earnest listening to the answers we find can we achieve freedom and consciousness. Through earnest attention to carrying out the replies we receive can we find Sublime Love, our
Peace – the end of all struggle
We live on a strange planet, don’t we? We all want peace but we all experience its opposite in one way or another…… During humanity’s recent 3500-year history we have been at peace as a planet less than 200 years! Before that we were probably always fighting one another, simply for survival. Amazingly no country
Happiness! PART 19 (Final)
Heartland is now on the market – and is shortly being promoted internationally! So now is the time to consider if you – or you and another family together – would like to take over Heartland and its 19 bedrooms/80 acres of sacred sanctuary to run your own yoga, healing or ‘good food’ retreat……..enquiries please
Happiness! PART 17
We’re coming to the end of this series! This week we’ll consider: “What’s really important to me?” For many we know that seems to be their new car, their new dog or their new outdoor barbecue setting. People will say those things “make me happy”. But we also know that’s not real, lasting happiness: it’s
Happiness! PART 16
Happiness is more than just feeling good – it’s also about feeling valued! We need to feel that our lives are worthwhile. There needs to be meaning to what we do – and how we do it. And we really need to feel good about our place in society; and view ourselves as playing a
Happiness! PART 15
This week let’s smile! It’s been known for ages that our physical body and our brain work together. Put a frown on your face, hold it for ten seconds and you’ll start to feel dejected. Clench your fists and your jaw and voila! you’ll soon feel more belligerent. So put a wide smile on your
Happiness! PART 14
This week we’ll discuss ……….divesting ourselves of our diversions! Diversions clutter our social scene and range from the television to the mobile phone, from emails to Instagram……. I am reliably informed that the more time people spend on Facebook (for example), the unhappier they become and the less satisfied with life they are, too. Ditto

Last week I suggested you create and maintain a Gratitude Book for 60 days. How that will change you!! This week we’ll look at two basics for fostering Happiness….. 1. START THE DAY the way you wish to live it. Most people wake to an alarm…..and race through their day from that moment on. This
Happiness! PART 9
Before Easter I suggested that spending never fills the gaping hole in our life……but relationships do. This week we’ll go deeper still and consider the role of GRATITUDE in our lives. Gratitude is that magical ingredient which brings peace and joyousness to our otherwise frenetic lives…. With gratitude as our focus and compass-point we can
Easter 2nd Part
Most of you would be aware this is a departure from my ‘Happiness’ series. But it’s only momentary. And it’s not much of a departure. After all, to realize that the actual ‘ground of our being’ is the loving/creating ‘breath of God’ must surely bring us immense relief and happiness! That’s why I’ve written about

Happiness – PART 4
Last week I asked you to create a one-page biography of the history of your life that is totally positive – or, at the least, neutral. If you’ve been following these exercises you should already be starting to feel more empowered….and that’s the start of authentic happiness! Now we’re ready to take a quantum leap……to
