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!

Conversations With Spirit #26
Could we talk about sex? Love to, Les……it’s one of my favourite topics! Anything in particular in mind? Well, we could start with why it’s one of your favourite topics? I’d have thought celibacy was more your style….. Heavens no! Celibacy was never meant to mean ‘no sex’! Indeed, the latin simply means ‘unmarried’. I
Conversations With Spirit #25
I was writing a chapter for a new book, explaining the fears and problems I remember experiencing during my early life….. I do hope you’re not feeling sorry for yourself, Les… Certainly not. But I am remembering some uncomfortable events. Yes….in a way you were lucky weren’t you? Lucky to have them or lucky
Anzac SoulLight – Remembrance and Introspection
Dear Friends, I wrote an article for Anzac Day last year – and it’s just as applicable today. One subscriber wrote: ‘I have been hearing lots of people say that they hope the world changes through this situation we currently have. We need to be the ones who change our world, not leaving it for
Conversations With Spirit #24
It was raining so I’d ducked into an historic city church to keep dry. Inside everything was still and silent and pregnant with Spirit….. Do you feel good in here? I certainly do. I’m glad. You’re meant to. That’s why it was built. What, to make me feel good? To make you feel safe
Conversations With Spirit #23
I was sitting at my desk pondering the well-deserved success of Og Mandino, surely one of the most influential and inspiring authors of the 20th Century……. Thinking about Og’s success are we, Les? I certainly was….as you well know. I certainly do. And he certainly became a wonderful Teacher …. I think he was
Conversations With Spirit #22
The man held up his Stop Sign and told me I was going the wrong way……. Sometimes you think like that road sign, don’t you Les? What, that I’m going the wrong way? Certainly. And sometimes you are. Such as just then…. I’m not arguing with you – but could you please get to the
Conversations With Spirit #21
Driving the car home through teeming rain along a dark and lonely unused road one moonless night….. I hope an alien doesn’t suddenly appear…… Suddenly scared of aliens, are we, Les? Maybe nervous. Isn’t everyone, truly, deep within? Not everyone. Certainly not the life-forms you call aliens. They’re not nervous or scared of themselves
Conversations With Spirit #20
It felt it was my chance to ask a second question. Certain I wasn’t alone……I eagerly started the conversation….. What do you look like? Ah! A question I cannot answer to your satisfaction!! Why is that? Because you would like a photograph, a picture to hang on your wall….. It might help me to
Conversations With Spirit #19
I was sitting in the Temple, pondering. Somehow I knew I wasn’t alone……so I asked my question….. Was I a Jew in my last life? You’ve been a Jew in many lives! But then you’ve also been a Christian, a Buddhist, a Taoist, a Sikh and a Moslem! Wow, I’ve covered the options! Yes,
Conversations With Spirit #18
I was sitting at my typewriter when suddenly I received this message, clearly in my head…..No introduction, no possibility to debate or discuss it…..The Voice simply spoke it to me with an obvious intention to have it typed out as the words were spoken…… Why strive to be something you already are, Les? Why not
Conversations With Spirit #17
I was feeding the wild king parrots and thinking about the coming week’s retreat when I clearly heard “the call”….. Stop fighting! What?!?!? Stop fighting! I can hear you planning your coming week as if it were a battle!…. Well, sometimes it seems to be! I just like to be prepared….. What? Prepared for battle?
Conversations With Spirit #16
Are you ready for a third conundrum, Les? I had woken up shortly after dawn and was staring at the ceiling….. If I have to….. Great! What has force – but is powerless? I’m sure you’re about to tell me….. It would be better if you find out for yourself…. How come? Well, whatever I
Conversations With Spirit #15
Are you ready for another conundrum, Les? I had woken up shortly after dawn and was staring at the ceiling….. Now? As good a time as any! Okay….what is it? What exists but isn’t real? Dreams? Good one but we can talk about those another time. That’s not what I had in Mind…. Okay, shoot….
Happy 26th January
The Dutch visited Australia in 1606 The Spanish visited later that year…. In fact the shipping lanes were crowded with visitors – Chinese, Malaccan, Indian…. 29 different Dutch ships alone visited Australia during the 17th Century. Captain Cook first sighted land in Australia on the 19th April 1770. His crew landed at Botany Bay 29th
Conversations With Spirit #14
Are you ready for a conundrum, Les? I had just arrived home with the shopping….. Right now? Can we wait until the shopping has been put away? Shopping’s a great example….in a way…. Aah….you’re going to advise a particular diet, maybe? Not at all! Eat as much junk as you need to cause as much
Conversations With Spirit #13
I was answering my emails when The Voice next spoke….. I wonder……are you happy with life, Les? I certainly am – although I’d prefer it if there was no grief, hurt, pain, sickness or even death associated with it…… Don’t you think it would be kind of bland? It might – but it would
Conversation With Spirit – Christmas
Are you excited about Christmas, Les? I was out refreshing the water for the retreat’s miniature horses….. I can take it or leave it. Santa let you down? Santa has never visited. Good gracious…….never? Not that I can remember. But that’s not a complaint because I don’t believe in him. I don’t blame you. He’s
Conversations With Spirit #12
It seemed my turn to start a conversation……. I love these talks but sometimes you know I still feel alone….. I totally understand….I felt like that once, a long, long time ago, too…….So I did something about it. What? I created the universe. But it just didn’t fulfil Me. How could it not? It
Conversations With Spirit #11
I was watching a program talking about Coronavirus when suddenly I realised I wasn’t alone ….. I’d like to get serious for a moment…… You mean you’re not always? I couldn’t be – otherwise you wouldn’t enjoy your sense of humour. After all, I gave you the ability to recognise and express humour. It
Conversations With Spirit #10
I was working in the garden when The Voice spoke….. I’d like to speak about The Ordinary…… What did you have in mind? Most of you find the ordinary boring…..when in fact it’s anything but boring….It’s magical, mystical….spiritual. Everything is magical, mystical and spiritual? Everything! Every moment, every action, every thought. What about the
