SEPTEMBER 2010 NEWSLETTER

“What an interesting life I’ve had.    How I wish I had realised it sooner!”

As I sat at my computer to write my monthly newsletter, the above quote popped into my inbox.     It made me stop and think about the lives we lead.   It made me think back over my life.

I hope this newsletter will help you to look at your life and appreciate everything that has occurred during your journey and find appreciation for everything that is going to happen as it occurs.

How often do we compare our lives with the lives of other people, especially those who appear to live more exciting lives.     Many autobiographies and biographies are written about the lives of famous people, explorers, inventors and pioneers who have improved the lives of people today.     We may look at their lives and think that in comparison our lives have been rather dull and uninteresting.

There are so many complaints in today’s society about the world, the problems and difficulties that people are experiencing, the unfairness, the poverty and not being able to have everything we want.

I think of all the interesting people I have met during my life and how, each in their own way, have contributed to the enjoyment of my journey.    I have learned so much from the people I have met as well as the people I have communicated with over the telephone and the Internet.     Every person has a story to tell and share.     Every day there is something new to discover and this is what makes each journey so interesting.    Each day ask yourself, what have I learned today?

Each of us has come from the same spiritual source.     We are all spiritual beings temporarily having taken on a physical incarnation with a material body.    We have each incarnated on the earth for our own specific purpose.     However, as we are all from the same source, we are all ONE, each playing our own part in creating our earthly lives.

As we create our lives we change.     If we are not prepared to change we are not creating our future.     Change is good not bad and is a very important part of the creating process.      Part of the changes we experience are due to the inevitable aging process which occurs naturally to all of us.     It would be a very strange journey if we remained as children, like Peter Pan, and didn’t grow up.

Each life will be different because of the circumstances of our births, our families, our education and the people who have made a difference in our lives.     We all start our earthly lives connected to the spiritual source from which we have come.     In our early years we are very much influenced by those around us, family and teachers, and the beliefs they hold about life.    We are influenced by the country of our birth, the way our parents or guardians believe that life should be lived and what it is all about, its purpose or whether we are here by accident and there is nothing to follow this earthly life.

As we grow up we may reject our early teaching and guidance and decide to follow our own journey with completely new ideas.    This is our choice and we may be considered as rebels by taking this course.     We begin to think for ourselves and decide what we think is true and follow a new pathway.    Whichever pathway we follow it will be unique to ourselves as no two pathways are ever identical.

However far we have journeyed we can still decide to welcome changes and enjoy the excitement of something new.    Reconnecting with our spiritual nature brings a whole new prospective on life.     Realising that physical death is not the end but the continuation of our journey allows us to investigate life from a new angle.

When we realise that we are not alone in our search for a better understanding of life and its purpose we find ourselves on a quest, searching for answers.     It is good to question ourselves and others in order to find the answers.    It is good to seek answers from the Spirit World.     As we have all come from the same source so have those who are now living in the Spirit World so we are ONE with them also.    As we are creating on the earth so too are they creating in Spirit.

What we are creating is important not just for ourselves but for the whole.    If we are creating peace and harmony and love with our thoughts and the way in which we live then we are contributing those thoughts to the whole and everyone is benefitting.     We have to be aware of what we are creating.     We have to be appreciative of the opportunities we have to share in the creation of a better material world, looking for the beauty and goodness that it around us.     As we look at people who have different ideas and beliefs we have to remember that however they are living they are still ONE with us and look for the good within them.     Whoever they are and whatever they may be doing with their lives they have come from the same source and will return to the same source.

Let us try and help each other to live spiritual lives.    Let us make our journeys more spiritually orientated, less complaining and more joyful.   Let us create peace and harmony wherever we are and show our children and grandchildren how to live in this way.     Let us appreciate the gifts of others and what they are teaching us.

We all have the ability to give something to life let us give unconditionally so that at the end of our physical phase of life we can say that we had a good journey, we did out best and have given something of value to those who we’ve met.      If we can say this then we will have created something to take back to Spirit for the next phase of our unending journey.

With love & light,

Pat

 AUGUST 2010 NEWSLETTER

 

  THE WORDS WE CHOOSE

 

This month I am carrying on from the July newsletter with the theme of communication.    The words we choose when we speak to people are very important.    If we choose the wrong word or intonation misunderstandings between people can arise and cause a lot of distress and unhappiness.

 

At the moment I am reading a very interesting book called 'Aspire' by Kevin Hall which explains the meaning of certain words and where they originate from.

 

In the Western World when we meet someone we say hi or hello and shake their hand.    When we say hello we are saying I greet you.    Shaking someone's hand originated during wartime and demonstrated that you were unarmed.

 

In the Eastern World they use the word Namaste, pronounced Nama-stay.     If you practice Yoga you will be familiar with this word.     The meaning of this word as a greeting means, I salute the Divine within you, I salute your God-given gifts.    It is a word of respect to the person you are greeting.    It is spoken with the palms of the hands together touching the heart area of the body with a slight bow of the head.    It is a word of peace, love and harmony.

 

This made me think of the word, respect, and how more respect for people would create more peace, love and harmony in our world.     When I was a child I was taught to respect my elders.     I think that we should respect ourselves and all life.     If todays children were encouraged to respect themselves, their parents, grandparents, siblings, extended family, anyone they meet more peace and harmony would result.

 

We all need to respect the many different beliefs and ideas that exist and not be so ready to criticise people for being different to ourselves.     We have all originated from the same source and will return to the same source.    We should be prepared not just to speak but to listen to others as we can learn something valuable from listening to another person's point of view.    This doesn't mean that we have to change our belief but can help us to understand why our beliefs differ.

 

We often speak in haste, without thinking first of the effect it may have on the other person.     This applies especially when we are feeling angry and once the words have been spoken we cannot recall them.

 

Often rifts between families and friends are caused by a misunderstanding of the words that have been spoken and the results may last for many years without a healing taking place.

 

How often have you said something, knowing exactly what you mean, and discover that the other person has taken a completely different meaning from what you've said.     It happens to everyone at some time in life and more care needs to be taken in the words we choose and the way we say them.

 

If our aim is to bring more peace into our lives and into the world then a good way to start is to look at the words we are choosing and how we are saying them.     Peace is something to aim for in everything we say and do.    Let us aspire to be peacemakers as we journey through life.

 

We are all unique in the abilities we have, we all have a purpose for living our earthly life and if we are using our abilities then we are fulfilling our purpose.     All abilities or talents are important and are needed and no one talent is more important than any other.    What is important is that we use the talents we have to the best of our ability.

 

If you have had a difference with someone try to sort it out as soon as possible.     Many people have regrets after the passing of someone that they didn't solve their differences while the person was on earth.     None of us know when we will return to Spirit so making peace now will prevent regrets in the future.

 

If you are unsure what someone means when they are talking to you ask them to explain.    Then you will know what they meant and prevent a misunderstanding.

 

This can occur not only on the earth but also when receiving communication from someone in the Spirit World.     If you are uncertain what your message means ask for clarification.     Some communicators are better at expressing themselves than others and sometimes the Medium has received it wrongly.     A single incorrect word in a sentence can change the whole meaning as I'm sure you know.

 

If you become more aware of the words you are using and the words you are hearing from others the problems caused by poor communication will lessen and result in creating more peace for yourself and others.

 

Ask yourself whether you want more peace, love and harmony in your life and aspire to achieving it.   Begin it now, today.

 

With love & light
