The White Parasol

Early 2005. Driving along in my yellow mini on the way back from town to my house I was pondering on the illness of my son.  He had been cured we thought and now it was back with a vengeance. It had shown itself by appearing above the clavicle so now we knew that we [...]

Well, they have no right here do they? They are taking our jobs, our social security, our houses, our schools, our communities. They cause us all the problems of a country which is too full: crime, lack of resources. Well, the thing is that we are not seeing clearly. We are looking for someone to [...]

There is the greatest of difficulties for me to understand myself. I am full of contradictions. My Mother said once that I was “…so contrary” when I was a small child. I never forgot this even though I did not then understand. Now I know that she is right and it has taken me most [...]

Can we ever really understand The Lord’s Prayer? The truth is that we do not know what truth is so how can we know what foregiveness is? The Way forward is what then? Perhaps the Power of the Not Quite There Yet (towards Eckhart Toll’s “The Power of Now” that is) will do – for now? Sometimes [...]

The truth gets [...]

Eckhart Tolle’s book on “The Power of Now” is very good and very powerful. But it is very hard to grasp some things and even with a genuine aspiration to do so, we still fall on our feet of clay. Well, I do. Sometimes I can have really spiritual moments, even days and grasp the [...]

I was having a chat with someone the other night on gmail pop-up and she mentioned something being about a figment of our imagination. As in, do we exist at all or are we just a figment of our own imaginations? Then I wrote that perhaps that is what the fig-leaf means in the Garden [...]

These writings are “channellings” – mind thoughts that come into the conscious mind with a profound resonance, yet they have a subconscious origin; they ultimately find expression via the written or verbal word. They are an expression of Universal Knowledge and intelligence, vibrations given from the universe, and are a culmination of many words and [...]

These are some of the channelled thoughts that have occurred most prolifically during the past ten years or so: Ann, I give you poise. Live a life of poise. Ann, strive for poise, live in poise and balance. It is as gentle as Reiki, gentle, but potently powerful. Live in poise and balance, I place [...]
