CONNECTIONS
 
I know that I am nothing
but that I am connected
to everything through love.
 
I know that I can do so little
but that through this great love
I can do everything.
 
I therefore give myself to Love
so that everyone can be well and
all as it should be.
 
In submitting to infinite goodness
I unleash a gentle power within me
beyond all imagining.
 
For it is in this complete submission
that I am connected to everything
that ever was and is yet to come.

​NETT GAIN
 
If you pull back the net curtain
you will see clearly.
You will see forever
into the distance.
 
If you don’t pull back the net curtain
all you will see is
the net curtain and
a vague light behind it.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
1.  What would you like to see more clearly? 
2. What is the net curtain? ​

EXCLUSION
​
 It is no longer enough
to stand inside
the tent and
call people to join you.
 
Sometimes we need to go
outside the tent and
work with people,
so that we can all walk in together.

2. How can I or others join you?

​COFFEE MORNING
 
I just love this first cup of coffee
in the morning.
It’s my moment of appreciation
for the day I’ve been given.
 
It’s my celebration and gratitude
for a new start,
full of wonder of all that will unfold
before me and for me.
 
I gently leave to one side
the troubles from yesterday.
I do not carry
the worries of the past.
 
I begin afresh,
right here, right now,
with both hands clasped in thanks,
around this first cup of coffee.

​​​​PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
1.  How do you welcome and say thanks  for each new day that you have been given? It can be as simple as a thoughtful cup of coffee!

LIFETIME GUARANTEE

We are all made of pure love.
The same pure love is present
in each of us and
unites all of us together.

Our lives add a
rough crust of worldliness
over this pure love,
hiding who and what we truly are.

Life circumstances, difficulties
and personal choices
can add layer upon layer,
burying our real selves.

But underneath it all,
no matter what we do
exists our pure love,
secure and untarnished.

And so it is, that each of us
and all of us together,
are protected and
cared for, forever.

​​​PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
1.  What does your 'rough  crust of worldliness' look like?
​2. What 'life circumstances, difficulties and personal choices' have contributed  to hiding your real self?​

​DISCIPLINARY HEARING 

You must never lose
your battle cry,
your willingness to go for it.
 
You must never dilute
what you once dreamt about,
what you saw so clearly.
 
You must never give up
whatever happens,
whatever others may say.

​

​​PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
1.  What did you once see so clearly? 
​2. How can you discover (or re-discover) your battle cry? ​

​
RESILIENCE
 
We spend all our lives doing stuff.
And then planning and doing more stuff.
It's exhausting.
 
Our life is passing us by.
And still we plan
and do more stuff.
 
Schedules, routines and to do lists
strap us into
this world of doing.
 
Like chains.
 
We accept this as normal
and yet it doesn't have to be like this.
We can get off the treadmill.
 
Step back from the world of doing
and see a different world.
The world of being.
 
Here all is calm and peaceful.
There are no timetables
and no demands.
 
It's a timeless place
that holds all that is important to us.
Yet many of us rarely go there.
 
Get off the treadmill every now and then.
You will immediately arrive at the world of being
with its peace, gentleness and with nothing to do.
 
Just be. Be yourself.
Let all love fill you and renew you
for the next part of your doing journey.
 
This is the font of resilience.
This is the source of all.
This is where we all can be truly ourselves.
 
It is our place of being,
where we truly belong.

​​PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
1.  What is the 'stuff' that can trap you or exhaust you at times? 
​2. When  will  you step back and  take a little time to  refresh yourself at your font  of resilience?
