THE NEW YEAR
Dearest Friends,
The New
Year is upon us already.
As with
every new day, indeed every sacred moment, we are offered
fresh chances to repair old wounds.
Transformation is always but a momentary pause in our
illusions, away!
Self-realisation is always within us, as us; and thus ever
ready to step into active guidance.
I feel it might be useful for us all to start off with a
prayer of Hope, a Prayer of Healing (actually the same one
as is used in our Worldwide Healing Prayer Vigil) – I
believe this might be a propitious step for 2010!
I encourage you to say this prayer, preferably aloud, at
least once a day for at least seven days.
Please let me know how things are in your life at the end of
that time!
Dear God,
Great
Spirit of the Universe,
Loving creator of our bodies and our souls
We give you grateful thanks for life itself.
We acknowledge the wholeness and the infinite love that we
are.
We affirm the god within ourselves and within All That Is.
We dedicate ourselves to Divine Will, expressing Itself
through us.
We submit to your great Purpose with all our Un-knowing;
and we do so with faith and with gratitude.
We understand the transforming power of love and we pledge
ourselves to be this Love consciously.
We ask you to help us to empty ourselves of all our hurts,
our pains, our fears and our pettinesses;
and to make of us hollow bones - so that we may be filled
with your most healing love.
We ask that we now be a channel of Infinite healing Light;
and that all that seek through us may find
and all that ask through us may be answered.
Be our walking; guide our footsteps and our every action; to
the everlasting delight of Divine Being.
We surrender ourselves into Divine care and use.
And now we hold all of humanity in perfect wholeness and
embrace all in their absolute perfection.
We see All and Everyone only as their truth, their light,
their love, their peace, their harmony, their Christ-light,
their Buddha-hood. They are truly already whole and eternal
we give thanks for their wholeness and eternal state of
being-ness.
All is.
Amen.

Christmas Message
Please accept Trudi and
my thanks for all your well wishes for the festive season.
Thanks also to those who respond to my articles during the
year.
One person wrote this
week:
“I felt I was the only person feeling like a Christmas
Grinch. After I read your message, I was in the bank and
people were talking behind me. They were saying exactly what
you said. Christmas has lost its true meaning, or rather
people have. I live in a low socio-economic area, many of
these people spend more than they can afford at this time of
year. If only they could see their own self worth and love
who they are and realize how much they already have. I want
to shout from the roof tops. STOP and see how much you have,
enjoy it and be happy”.
On a lighter note to finish the year, let me share with you
a bit of nonsense.
Remember the Christmas
song…..
On the twelfth day of
Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming
eleven pipers piping
ten lords a' leaping
nine ladies dancing
eight maids a' milking
seven swans a' swimming
six geese a' laying
five gold rings
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree
According to the US PNC Bank, those 364 gifts were valued at
US$12, 623 in 1984 and US$21,465 this year – almost a 100%
increase and that’s in spite of any recession! Main
increases were the five gold rings, up 43% for the year.
There was no overall increase in wages for pipers, drummers,
lords or maids – with just the ladies dancing, up 15%.
I’m not sure if that included Pole Dancers.
The 12 Days of Christmas traditionally start on Boxing Day.
Originally a French song, it became popular in England as a
singing game in 1780. One person would sing a line and
everyone would repeat it. Then just the next line and
everyone would have to repeat both, etc….Whoever tripped up
on the words would have to give the song Leader a kiss or a
sweet or suchlike.
The Scottish version would probably have been harder to sing
but certainly described a heartily lusty Scottish approach
to the festive season…”.. a good stuffing without bones, two
breasts of veal, three joints of beef, four pigs' trotters,
five legs of mutton, six partridges with cabbage, seven
spitted rabbits, eight plates of salad, nine dishes for a
chapter of canons, ten full casks, eleven beautiful
full-breasted maidens, and twelve musketeers with their
swords”.
Makes me feel sorry for the twelfth musketeer….
A clever Catholic in the late 19th century used the song as
a reminder of the Catholic catechism:
-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.
-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew,
Mark, Luke & John.
-The five golden rings recalled the first five books of the
Old Testament.
-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of
the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation,
Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
-The eight Maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy
Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness,
Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
-The ten Lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.
-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful
disciples.
-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points
of belief in the Apostles' Creed
Enjoy the song any way
you wish. Remember it’s not the song that matters- but how
you sing each song. It’s not the season that matters but how
you season each day.
Trudi and I wish
everyone a peace-filled festive season, wherein love for all
sentient life overflows. Happy Christmas!

Time for The Presents
It’s that time of year again. Once more it’s
time for the presents.
And once more the emphasis is on giving.
For some of us this is done under the watchful
eye of Old Saint Nick. Others copy-cat three
wise men from the East. And many others amongst
us just fall into the trap of maintaining
tradition.
Yet what do we give? Things. Big things, little
things. Brightly wrapped things. Budget things,
expensive things. Practical things. Useless
things. Asked for things. Things to impress,
Things to prove we haven’t forgotten. Things to
show we still love.
Even the humble Xmas card is a given thing –
appropriate and cost-effective for giving out in
large numbers to family, friends, neighbours –
even favoured tradespeople, work associates,
clients and customers.
Christmas has become a time to give give give
things things things..
Not to give things is seen to be miserly, mean,
selfish, uncaring…..
Yet is this what Christmas has come down to –
‘Pass the Present’?
According to the commercial world, yes.
How can you deprive your children of the latest
X-box?! This is the time to show her you care
via that expensive necklace, now reduced to half
price! Impress your family this Christmas with
the latest twin cab ute…..and we’ll throw in a
bonus tax break, too!
The present with the greatest value is your own
Presence.
Christ-mass isn’t about presents. It’s about the
Presence.
The Presence which you are, already, deep
within.
It’s about sharing that Presence with your
family, your friends, your neighbours, total
strangers…..
It’s about a birth says a Mum in the front row.
Correct. The birth of consciousness. Of the
Presence within humanity. The Presence which
exists deep within you, as you, right now, right
here (even as you read/hear these words).
It’s about gifts says a small child. Correct.
The three most valued gifts of all - one’s
Presence, one’s Acceptance and one’s Love.
Forget the things, even the expensive or the
exclusive things - the frankincense, the myrrh
and the gold. They’re still just things.
It’s your Presence, your real and divine
Presence, freely and joyfully given and shared
which is the real value, the gold – your
divinity.
It’s your Acceptance, the ability to include
everyone (regardless of their behaviour) as a
child of the Divine which is the real activity,
the frankincense – your spiritual integrity.
And it’s your Love, your very expression of the
Godlight within you, which is the real spice,
the myrrh – your life lived authentically.
These gifts don’t need the excuse of a tawdry,
over-commercialiesd Christmas festivity.
No gaudy lights. No fancy trees. No ‘dreaming of
a white christmas’ carols (which we croon
unthinkingly under scorching hot skies in
Australia!).
These gifts just need YOU to allow them to be
birthed, moment after moment, day after day.
Anyday. Everyday.
Pretty ordinary really. And yet wondrous, too.
But then, so was the birth of my good friend,
Jesus.
May you have a peace-filled festive season in
which love overflows abundantly……
For myself, I give you my Presence, my
Acceptance and my Love.
Peace Be Within You this festive season

BUTTERFLIES.
Have you seen any extraordinarily beautiful
butterflies flying about lately?
I have. A friend was with me and he suggested we
catch it to add to his specimen board.
This man epitomises our materialistic human
society: let’s catch it and own it. Let’s keep
it all to ourselves. Let’s add it to our
collection of dead things. Let’s show it off as
something that belongs to us.
This is the madness of our world – we collect
dead things.
People do this with just about everything from
old resentments to ancient religions and modern
gadgets to brand new dollar notes.
Friends, cars, bank accounts…. the latest
electronic gizmo, the newest overseas holiday
destination, the miniature horse, the latest
flat screen plasma TV…
What do we want? Everything!
When do we want it? Now!
Surely we need to learn to simply enjoy what we
have in the moment.
To let it be, without having to own it.
If we have it for the moment, we enjoy its
presence. If we don’t possess it in that moment
then whatever we do have in its place we enjoy,
instead.
Of course, if my friend had been a scientist (or
a doctor) he’d have wanted to dissect it.
These are its wings. Pluck. Pluck.
These its antennae. Plick. Plick.
Here’s its six legs. Plack. Plack. Plack. Plack.
Plack. Plack.
This is its Head. Schook.
Here’s its Thorax (chest). Schunk.
And its abdomen. Plink.
All done, six little bottles containing one
butterfly.
But do they?
Where is the lofty soaring of the butterfly?
Where is the numinous beauty of the butterfly?
Where is the wonder and awe that took our breath
away?
Certainly not in the bottles.
The bottles simply contain the dead bits. The
dead things.
The aliveness of the butterfly has flown away!
That aliveness lives on – now it’s in your
heart!
Try for a week NOT OWNING DEAD THINGS.
Let go of everything that isn’t YOU.
That means dropping your sense of ownership
toward money, jobs, family, social status,
lovers, the future, the past – even your guilts,
worries, doubts, fears, hopes and expectations.
Let them all go.
Move out of your long dead cocoon of safety!
For just one week gently move above the
mundane…… and become the extraordinarily
beautiful and capable butterfly you already are!
Come, fly!
Love and blessings,
Les

THE CENTRE OF ‘THOUGHT’ IS ‘U’ !
My last article encouraged many of you to write
– thankyou!
One person wrote: “I fired my inner critic
recently. My inner peace is working with me
now.....”.
How good is that?!?!? It’s something to deeply
aspire to!
Another friend wrote: “Much of what I've been
reading says we have no control over our
thoughts. Our brain makes decisions earlier than
we're aware of them, so we actually have little
control over what thoughts or decisions come our
way. My experience backs that up, although I do
(seem to) have control over whether I focus on a
thought that comes up, obsess over it, release
it, believe it, or just watch it pass through.
However, I suspect that I don't have control
over any of that either…..”.
My response may hopefully help others who have
had the same idea:
Of course we have control over our thoughts – if
we choose to! Didn't even those people who write
“we have no control” have control over what they
wrote?
Would you ever trust anyone who said they have
no control over who they are or what they do?
Even Jesus had control over what he did - even
if it was to surrender to his Higher Self!
Surrendering to our Higher Self we simply give
control to that which we really are; and remove
control from the ego. We – the real ‘us’- then
gains control!
Naturally, our autonomic system operates
independently from consciousness - but that in
no way refutes the reality that we can have
control over most of what we consciously think.
In this way we can ameliorate and repair
dysfunctional early-childhood perceptual
programs. If we couldn't we'd never be able to
change! We'd always remain in sabotaging
delusion!
We can also choose love and compassion as our
expressions of life (so easy when we connect so
naturally and easily with them!).
The same writer also mentioned: “We appear to
have free will, yet it seems we do not”.
My reply: Of course we have free will – always –
but only over our thoughts (the input) - never
over the results of those thoughts (the output).
Naturally, we have no will over the thoughts
(and therefore, the actions) of any others.
Our thoughts are always ours to own – the
actions that flow are no concern of ours.
Understood correctly, this is the end of our
sense of failure (in any area of our life), of
worthlessness, of uselessness, of not being good
enough….
It’s also the start of genuine self-appreciation
and self-worth.
I shall leave the last word to a regular
respondent who exemplifies this in everyday
action…..
Yesterday I hopped into a taxi in Sydney and
asked the driver, "Fox Studios please"
His question to me: " the professional entrance
then?
I said "Yes please.......How did you know that?"
He said "Because you look professional".
This I found odd as I still dress like a
teenager at the age of 42!
I then said to him "You’re very intelligent"
The Japanese driver said "Intelligent? No! Not a
taxi driver!"
I replied: "Yes you are. And a good man, too".
He cried, almost shook my hand off and thanked
me a million times over….
What will you do this week with YOUR thoughts?
Love and blessings,
Les

FOCUS ON YOUR INPUT - NOT YOUR OUTPUT
Last article I wrote that we will always be
unhappy if we compare ourselves against others.
We will also always be unhappy if we focus on
our output.
In other words, if we place our happiness on the
effects we create or the results we produce we
will be setting ourselves up for “failure”.
Often, we may manage to achieve good outcomes
that will satisfy our ego, that Inner Critic.
But at other times we will “fail” ourselves
because of our comparison with the perceived
results and output of others.
Even if we don’t compare ourselves with others
but simply measure our achievements by our own
arbitrary benchmarks we will often be focusing
on the source of discontent.
Imagine you definitely wanted to shoot someone -
but missed! What are you guilty of? Yes, of your
thoughts. It is your input thought that is
errant.
Imagine you were simply cleaning a gun when it
fell and accidentally shot someone…. What are
you guilty of now? Not your input thought
(although maybe your carelessness!).
Imagine you wished to love someone dearly but
they refused to have anything to do with you.
It matters not. The outcome is of no lasting and
real importance. Only the input, the thoughts
you hold toward that person, truly matter.
When we focus on each and every input thought –
and dedicate each and every one of them to the
Divine – we are living with a clear focus of
Love.
We commit to control over the only thing we
actually ever have control over – our thoughts.
We cast aside the foolishness of placing our
focus outside ourself, outside where we have no
control over the thoughts and actions of any
other.
No longer can we be demeaned by the results we
achieve or the effects we create.
We finally wake up to reality: we are only ever
in charge of what we think.
And what we really deeply think only flowers as
Love when we wake up to who we truly are.
We are Love.
And Light.
And Spirit.
And joy!
Try it again - send your Inner Critic on
holidays for another week.
Once more, associate with the Divine Presence
within you, your Soul-Heart.
Focus on your input – not your output – for just
one week.
As before, whenever a report arrives on your
brain's desk from the Inner Critic, trash it,
sight unseen.
Simply be who you are. A beautiful being of
Light and Love.
This week, like the previous, may not bring you
total happiness; but it may well lead you
further along that golden highway that leads
toward it!
Love and blessings,
Les
