Blog

I just had my 97th birthday. Astrologically it is a big portal deciding if I am going to leave this year or stay until I am 100.

Looking through my computer I found this review I created in 2020 while planning to take a Zoom course from the Findhorn Community in Scotland. I have traveled there many times for conferences and workshops. In 1975 Jim and I lived there for a three-month course on Living in Community. That was the beginning of a year traveling through Europe visiting people and communities focusing on Peace and Making a Difference in the world.

In my first waking up to the spiritual dimension of life I attended a meditation group. They invited guests to share their spiritual gifts. Their code of conduct was:

There is nothing so strange
As how the strange seems ordinary
Once you get used to it

Searching for inspiration for this month’s blog, I found a poem that I wrote in 2019, which I’m sharing as an invitation to orient your summer travels.

I have been in every state in the United States and 43 countries. Much of that travel I did as a tourist. There was a difference when I started traveling as a pilgrim. I made a point to go the city or county parks, the places where people gathered. I spoke to the elementals and sent blessings to the trees and plants. I always asked to find the oldest and the largest tree. I put my hands on her bark to bless her and I realize I was always blessed in return.

I found a message Mano gave to me years ago when he first introduced the idea to let him write a Blog to share his wisdom. This is the way he worked with me, and Mary Jane when she accepted his invitation to write his Blog.

I am going to simply give you the message and you can decide for yourself if this call is appropriate for you and your life.

Last Sunday I enjoyed an afternoon roaming through writings in my computer from years ago. I found one I want to share with you. It has a lot of different parts, but I do believe it is interesting and holds wisdom and guidance, from those wise ones who guide me.

I am surprised and delighted to review Mano’s early teaching. Some things I remember and have incorporated in my life, others are new like I never heard it before.

Yesterday was cold, windy and rainy. It is time to prepare the April Blog. I curled up on the couch. I was guided to review Mano’s teaching filed in the computer over the past 15 years. 

I found experiences and teaching I had not specifically remembered. All of the personal teaching he has shared with me can be applied to anyone.

This article was written a number of years ago. I loved reading it again last week and decided to share it with you since I feel it is so very important to know what our life is about, what are the promises we have made to God and our spiritual council who has come to help us fulfill the promises we made before we returned to earth.

Visiting the Beautiful Cathedral in Reims France, famous for a stained glass window by Marc Chagall and the smiling angels carved outside the entrance, Mother Mary revealed a secret to me as I stood in front of her statue. I almost felt the smiling angel winked at me and told me, “Treasure Mother Mary’s secret and wrap your life around it.”

Mano says, “Since everyone has a Divine Plan for their life, everyone has been given a Guardian Angel and Elemental Master guiding them to fulfill that Plan.”

When I was in college the minister in my church gave a sermon that impressed me at the time and has stayed in my consciousness all of these years. This past week Mano had a serious talk with me by putting thoughts in my mind for me to ponder and think about.

The original sermon took place in London, England. There was a ‘street box orator,’ a small man, poorly dressed, standing on a wooden box so he could be seen over the heads of the people walking on the sidewalk.
