A Miracle by Prayer
2007-04-30 19:36:00
THE POWER OF PRAYERBy Mandy de Waal, founder, SoulCircle (Pty) LtdA few years ago, someone I love was in trouble. His sister was dying of cancer in the US. He was experiencing a spiritual crisis at the time and said he didn't believe he could ask God for help on this one. I had been reading a lot about Elizabeth Targ's medical research into the power of prayer at the California Pacific Medical Center. If she was getting results with terminal patients, was there a god who would listen to me? As an experiment I phoned around asking everyone I thought had influence to pray and help get this man to the US as soon as possible. It was a diverse group comprising family, friends, healing people, colleagues and associates. An eclectic collective of belief systems, really.That was a Monday morning. The man had meetings to 12h00, and no passport or ID book as these had been stolen weeks earlier. He also had no plane ticket. That night at 18h00 he was on a flight from Johannesburg Internation...

The 13th Tipping Point by Julia Whitty (Mother Jones)
2007-04-30 19:24:00
Hi Magic PeopleThis piece is adapted from a longer article in the November/December 2006 issue of Mother Jones , where Julia Whitty is a contributing writer. She is also author of the forthcoming book The Fragile Edge: Diving and Other Adventures in the South Pacific. The Thirteenth Tipping Point By Julia WhittyMother JonesWhat if 12 asteroids were on collision courses with earth? What if we could alter their trajectories and save our planet by the cumulative effect of our individual efforts? What if science and history proved that we were fully capable of such heroism? What would it take to get us started?John Schellnhuber, distinguished science advisor at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in the United Kingdom, has identified 12 global warming tipping points, such as the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest or the melting of the west Antarctic ice sheet. Any of these, if triggered, will likely initiate sudden changes across the planet, as cataclysmic as any asteroid s...

Testimony of Light by Helen Greaves Part Four
2007-04-25 04:32:00
Hi Magic PeopleFrances picks up again –12 December 1965I am remaining in the Rest Home, though I am now occupying a ‘cottage’ of my own. It is a lovely peaceful little place, with a very pretty garden.I still belong to the Home of course, and I go back there frequently. I have been having long talks with Mother Florence, and with Sister Mary and Sister Hilda. They explain this new adventure to me.I still have the same experiences, the same problems, the same hopes, with even greater and wider aspirations for work; only now I view them from an entirely different angle and with far greater dawning comprehension.Now I am learning to apprehend the meaning of much that happened to me. I see it as a background Pattern. In a way I am beginning to realise the effects of my thoughts and to view the events that were set in motion by these very thoughts and ideas.This is indeed a most sobering exercise.When in the body one is so limited by environment, emotions, difficulties, that it is ...

Testimony of Light by Helen Greaves Part Three
2007-04-21 11:59:00
Hi Magic PeopleIn this script, Frances describes her experience on ‘awakening.’ This is the third script in our series dictated by Frances to her closest friend, Helen, in Test imony of Light – An Extraordinary Message of Life After Death. Frances’ account is consistent with the accounts that Near-Death Experiencers give on ‘re-entry’ into their physical bodies. This latter topic will be discussed fully in later posts.LaterAs soon as I was able to bring myself to a conscious state of mind, after my withdrawal from my worn-out body, I knew that I was the same in essence. True, I felt light, and there was a new sense of freedom that was bewildering.I was the same – yet not the same.With a flash of realisation I decided that I must be stone deaf, for I could no longer hear any of the usual sounds of everyday life, the chatter and movement of human beings around me; the whistles of trains, the twittering of birds. There were not noises in this new consciousness. One of my f...

Communication Bill of Rights
2007-04-11 16:15:00
Hi Magic PeopleI thought to share with you the Comm unication Bill of Right s that I came across on an Internet website. It’s outstanding. Unfortunately, I can’t acknowledge its author, as I no longer have a record of the rightful source. I hope that as this blog is visited, someone may direct me to its originator and I am afforded the opportunity to express my sincere thanks. In my opinion, the Communication Bill of Rights exemplifies the value systems that allow for good interpersonal skills. Practice these skills and reaffirm the principle of right human relationships.Total acceptance of all ideas. Total acceptance does not necessitate total agreement!Honesty of relationships takes precedent over any issue. The speaker in any given discussion of issues, sensing any hidden agendas, stops discussing issues and focuses the conversation on the relationship until all parties involved agree that the relationship is honest in that the participants are speaking what they are really thi...

Testimony of Light by Helen Greaves Part Two

Hi Magic PeopleLeading on from my previous post, Frances ‘dictates’ a script to Helen –FRANCES, 5 December 1965I am in a kind of rest home now. It is run by Sisters of the community to which I belonged when in incarnation. They are so kind and gentle with me. I am now lying in a bed, high up on a terrace that looks out over a vast sunlit plain. It is a beautiful scene, and so restful. I am recuperating from the illness which brought disintegration to my physical body. I feel content and calm and at peace. I shall stay here. Indeed I have already told Mother Florence that I want to work with her here when I am ready.Souls are brought here from earth and from other places (but I do not know much of those places) when they are ready. They are ‘nursed’ and taken care of here, as am I. After I have become adjusted to this life I think I shall stay on here and teach with the Sisters, if they will have me! And if I can really be useful. You see how my ‘earth psychology’ will ...

Testimony of Light by Helen Greaves Part One
2007-04-09 15:32:00
Aart Jurriaanse in his private publication Life – Now and Hereafter offers this advice –Anybody genuinely interested in the after-life, should make every endeavour to obtain a copy of this lovely little book in which Helen Greaves has so effectively pictured conditions apparently prevailing on the other side of the veil. The state of existence described, and which the average well-meaning individual may reasonably expect to encounter on passing over, seems so attractive, that the condition commonly known as “death”, really appears to be something to look forward to, instead of being dreaded, as is the case at present with the vast majority of mankind. Helen Greaves and Frances Banks used to be close friends. Shortly after Frances took leave of her physical vehicle in 1965, she established telepathic contact with Helen, who had temporarily remained behind। By means of this “channel” Frances was enabled to provide fairly detailed descriptions of conditions she encountere...

Hi Magic PeoplePlease allow me to introduce myself. I am Luisa Green, writer in personal and spiritual growth topics and life coach for personal development and spiritual growth. In 2004, I founded Everyman Edict – a web site that features spiritual online books and articles dedicated to anyone following a spiritual path.I have authored two e-books – Ensouled and Inner Space the Final Frontier. Ensouled is available free – download your copy or read it online at http://www.everymanedict.com/e16_ensouled .htm.I believe I see what is of benefit to people. Please let me explain –The injunction to rest in peace is for the living, not the deadWe live in a chaotic world. In a chaotic reality, we live our lives blindly. We forget to feel compassion and we suffer fatigue. Occasional fatigue is human. We believe life is hard. We use and abuse.In life, like begets likeAll we can hope to do in a chaotic world is to try to make sense of what we don’t understand. There is nothing wrong ...
