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!

ULTIMATE UNDERSTANDING IN JUST 24 WORDS
The Bhagavad Gita, Hindus sacred scripture, has about 21,000 words. The Koran has about 77,000. Kojiki, the sacred text of Japanese Shintoism runs to 150,000 words. The Buddhist Tipitaka runs to around 300,000 eight-syllable verses. The Christian New Testament is around 770,000 words and the Jewish bible packs in over 783,000. Each of these texts
Everything is perfect just as it is, in every moment.
Neale Donald Walsch and myself share a number of things in common: we both changed direction after talking to God, both wrote books of our talks, both continue to help others to shine their Inner Light. (I encourage you to read his awesome books ‘Conversations With God”.) So, for a change, I’d like to offer
ARE YOU ‘A WORK OF ART’ ?
Do you recognize yourself as a Work Of Art? Now I’m not talking at all about your ego. Indeed, for many people their ego would happily describe them as anything but a work of art…..and for many others their ego would loudly declare their absolute superiority in just about everything…… No, this has nothing at
A LOVE BY ANY OTHER NAME…..
There are probably billions of people who can’t stand the word ‘God’. Others are passionately opposed to the term ‘Allah’. ‘Jehovah’ gets bad publicity from many quarters. Brahma, Vishnu, Siva remain quite localised – and Buddha and Krishna remain Teachers well below Jesus in the ‘divinity stakes’…… And then, of course, there’s the historical giants
THE DEATH OF WINTER……
Sometimes we just have to remember that all is always changing….. coming, going, here, there, then, now…… Nothing ever stays static: no moment, no event, no particle, no atom, no cell, no light, no wave, no movement, no metal, no mineral, no living life-form, no body. All is evolving, devolving, turning, churning, moving, assembling, disassembling,
IN THE DOLL HOUSE …
In Russia they make a very special kind of doll – a Babushka doll. It consists of a doll within a doll within a doll….. Craftspeople have been known to create up to seven dolls within the outer doll, (although the average is probably just three or four……). They represent values such as fertility, family,
LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED

ALL IS PART OF THE DIVINE……
Trudi and I have now finished our last Heartland retreat – and survived a tsunami of Covid that overwhelmed many guests as well as ourselves. We’ll be taking a break during which I’ll be planning new books, programs and retreats especially for those who seek to seriously heal, avoid much of society’s emerging insanity and
HOW’S YOUR HOLOGRAM?
Do you understand a hologram? It’s an optical storage system (somewhat like film) in which every tiny part of an image contains (in condensed form) the entire original image. So if you took a holographic image of a tree and then cut out a teeny weeny piece of just one itsy bitsy little leaf from
TIES THAT BIND US TOGETHER
It had been a long time since I had spoken to my father as he strongly preferred that we not speak or see one another. And then he died. I felt it. The etheric ties that bound us together made me aware of his passing. I naturally assumed his family – my stepmother, half
A TALE WITH TWO TAILS…….
Many years ago I took part in a casual rally through national parks between Canberra and Wollongong. The weather was atrocious, teeming down with rain; and great care was needed on the muddy dirt roads. However, driving my trusty Toyota Landcruiser I felt totally safe. And I was – but in an unusual way. I
THE MIND AND SOUL OF THE MATTER……
Last article I wrote that God is our heart, God is our breath and God is every living cell of every living life-form. I showed (I hope!) how science and religion are both “on the same page” although both parties use different words and concepts to express Existence. Science utilises mechanical and quantum constructs, religion
GOING INSIDE TO DEAL WITH THE OUTSIDE
I think we can all agree that the world gets everybody a little ‘down’ at the moment…..let’s face it, it’s an insane asylum! Politics, war, economics, medicine, industry, the environment – everything is up in the air and helter skelter. Australian government debt is now over 1.5 trillion dollars. Over 3 million Australians live below
IT’S EITHER ‘US’ OR ‘THEM’!
Last article I spoke about the Big Bang theory and how like every particle, atom, molecule, cell and living organism we deeply desire to embrace our own sense of Oneness once again because we’re a part of the Divine and can never be apart from it. This week let’s face what for many on planet
CAN THERE BE ONE-NESS IN AN OBVIOUS SEA OF OTHERNESS?
I imagine you’ve heard of the Big Bang theory? That’s the one where physicists say that out of an impossible singularity exploded the entire universe….. Or, as I would say, out of the Godhead came All That Is……… (Actually, they’re both the same thing except one is simply ego-driven; and the other acknowledges something far
HOW MUCH FAITH DO YOU HAVE?
Some 45 years ago I ran an advertising agency. Nanette was one of our Commercial Artists. She joined us whilst she waited to adopt a baby via the NSW government state adoption agency. Each few months the adoption people would visit her home (and her banking records) to check all was suitable. And then there
HOW MANY PROBLEMS DO YOU HAVE?
Dr Norman Vincent Peale was famous worldwide as the author of the best-seller “The Power of Positive Thinking”. But few knew how far he went to share his “gospel”……. One Sunday he was speaking at his Congregational Church in New York when the topic of “problems” came up. These days it seems almost everyone has
The Golden Buddha – WHO ARE YOU??
In 1957 the highway authorities in Thailand built a new highway to reduce congestion through the capital, Bangkok. Regrettably there was an old Buddhist temple in the way. It included a huge ancient Buddha statue, famous because it was made entirely of mud. Large cranes and equipment were brought in so it didn’t get damaged
The InnerStanding #10 – THE ART OF LIVING
Dear Friends, These are difficult times for many of us. Government “mandates” inhibit our freedoms. Society’s norms seem anything but normal. Technology is on the brink of recreating a whole new world. New jobs replace old careers. New medical models usurp existing standards. New financial systems are moving toward radically new monetary models. New super-power
Conversations With Spirit #50 – Book 2
(a timely sample from my nearly finished 2nd book of Conversations With Spirit) The New Year was quickly approaching and I was eagerly awaiting it. Then Spirit spoke……. You look like a man waiting for a bus…..? I’m actually looking forward to the new year! So what’s holding you back? Pardon? Nothing I’m just
