GRATITUDE
CORNER
Special thanks goes
out to Liz at Sowelu Clinic for coming to
house sit and take care of my cat while I'm away
in Canada. Also to Roechelle Williams, Ananda Mahony and Karen Anderson who continue to
be great sources of inspiration and from whom I am
learning daily!

Dear
Angela, February is a transition month
for me. At the end of it I'll be travelling
back to Vancouver to work there until early May.
January whooshed by with
intensity and we saw the end of the
stalling and dragging Mercury Retrograde.
Retrogrades are when the planet actually travels
backwards... and in the case of the
planet Mercury electronic equipment
(computers, TVs, dishwashers) break down,
communications get very confused with messages
not being received, appointments cancel and
people mis-interpret each other. One is
encouraged NEVER to begin something new in this
3 week period, rather just finish old projects.
January has been a
wonderful month filled with spiritual
counselling at Sowelu, in Brisbane as well as
making Tax Appointments for Vancouver. I'll be
returning to Canada February 26th, and be back
in the office March 1st. If you haven't booked
your appointment yet, call me on the Toll
Free number from Canada on 604.321.2670 to set
something up!
The Second of the Sunday
Retreats/Workshops: Overcoming Addictions: Learning
to be Human will happen February
21st in Cashmere. Did you know that only 4% of
the population is in active recovery? Are you
part of that 4%? Because it's Valentine's month
I've made a special two-for-one offer if you
bring a friend! Only $99 for two of you if you
book before this Monday, February 15th.
You'll notice in this newsletter a web
address for my new Blog, http://diamondthought.blogspot.com/
as well as new short Video I created
earlier this month. I'm slowly upgrading all my
tools to reach and hopefully benefit more
people in more places at once.
Lastly, in my Meditation Class last night
at Sowelu a
number of students requested that I clone myself
when I return to Canada so that someone could
continue teaching them while I'm gone. Roechelle
Williams, the Director of Sowelu Clinic, awhile
back had put a bug in my ear to begin
Teleconferencing my Classes so as to broadcast
much further afield than one city. So now it
will come to pass. My Brisbane class is willing
to be my guinea pigs with this experiement. I
will send out the link, cost and times for the
continuation of Guided Meditation Class when
everything gets organized. I don't want too much
of a break; next Wednesday is our last
gathering, so look forward in March to my first
ever Cyber-Class.
I'm including a link to an article entitled
"Orchid Children" I think a lot of you would
find quite fascinating from the December issue
of Atlantic
Monthly. We've all heard of Indigo
kids, let me introduce you to Orchid Children.
Those of us who possibly have a particular gene
on our DNA strand that make us more sensitive to
our environments, (hence orchid) and will
thrive, in optimal conditions. I'm simplyfying
this intriguing article. Have a read.
So I'm wishing love and equanimity during
this Valentine's month to you all. And may we
come to understand the true nature of love, as a
state of complete unity, beyond the simplified
concept of romance and good feelings.
In peace,
Angela

Most of
us have genes that make us hardy as dandelions:
able to take root and survive almost anywhere. A
few of us, however, are more like the orchid:
fragile and fickle, but capable of blooming
spectacularly if given greenhouse care. So holds
a provocative new theory of genetics, which
asserts that the very genes that give us the
most trouble as a species, causing behaviors
that are self-destructive and antisocial, also
underlie humankinds' phenomenal adaptability and
evolutionary
success.

There are
rooms of the mansion yet to be discovered. There
are ornate staircases that need to be
described. Closets to be cleaned. Rooms and
windows to be opened. This
fine, majestic house that we are, was created by
a divine architect, that both contemporary and
ancient saints and sages all have come to live
in comfortably. It's pretty radical to think and
to experience the fact that there is only love,
and all else is conditioning and a learned
program. Radical. Yet
true.
We
are finding out who the real master is, and how
we need to serve. We need to learn about the
process, ourselves; everything else must wait.
Service to self is service to others. We may
question how can we be of service simply by
writing, painting, singing, experiencing these
feelings and thoughts. I beg you to Stay in the
question. Make no conclusions. We are
serving the grandest version of the greatest
vision of who we really are.
***
This
truly is a mystery. We are living a mystery for
which we have few answers. Each day is a like a
treasure hunt or a novel and we are the prize at
the end of the chase, or the character in the
story. We search for clues in what people say,
watch carefully to what is offered to us or
simply appears in front of us.
As each of
us raises our personal level of consciousness so
do we raise the energetic (playing) field for
the world. That is a given. It's not always so
clearly seen or understood but we live in an
energetic field or soup where everyone and
everything is interconnected. Even in this self
expression, through these words, there is a
higher
purpose.
Two
exceprts from The Baffled Queen ,
a book of non-fiction exploring
conscious change, yet to find a
publisher. | |
Once again thank you all in
Brisbane and Canada who support the work and
growth of Diamond Thought.
