https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/I firmly believe that by bringing the energy and power of the Saints into our daily lives, we can be saintly ourselves and create heaven on earth. This is about us realising our highest most authentic selves and full potential. And it's about the Saints and great mystics from all the religions ... hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/675138Okay, so we lately talked about the workshop for the Saints earlier this month. My first workshop, so I didn't go for huge attendance and just invited about 12 people. Eight turned up, some of them without confirming, so it was great to have all the seats filled - eight exactly, on the patio, in...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/675079Back in full swing after my convalescence. The night I was admitted to hospital in July, I asked St Michael Archangel to come in and stay with me. I felt a wonderful presence as, in my mind's eye, I saw him sweep in and install himself with me. On 9th October, I marked my return to good health...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/650026Today, I received encouragement in my saints quest. I spoke to a small group of people about my favourite group of saints - the Buddhists - and I felt them becoming present and alive through being spoken about. Faces lit up with inspiration, and with renewed hope. The saints are not the first...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/649316I have made my research on Buddhist Saints official by going along to the Buddhist centre and proposing a series of talks. Very brave, some might say. Very stupid, others could say too, and probably be right. Very stupid, because I'm getting to be an expert on the Saints, but not on the whole...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/648930This weekend, two Germans, one Black Zimbabwean, and one Zimbabwean of mixed ethnicity (coloured) sat down and talked. We discussed Zimbabwe, it's history, the World War II Jewish holocaust, German people past and present, and withheld nothing. We talked about coloured people. We were the ones...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/648278The cars were piled up on each other, one upside down, the other on top of it. the windscreen of the top car was completely shattered, and a woman, dazed and sobbing, stood outside it, pulling glass out of her hair, and picking it out of her skin. The ambulance had not yet arrived, but people...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/648113I'm still thinking of St Francis today as I go through my activities. "Make me a channel of your peace," he said, understanding what we so often forget or remain ignorant of all our lives. Yes, we are channels for energy, healing, peace, every positive blessing and feeling we can possibly give....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/648000Today St Francis was my hero. My absence from my daily blogs over the past days has been due to my recurrent visits to Zimbabwe Immigration, where you wait, are told to go home and come back the next day, and have endless delays until you get what is required. "Angels and Saints, walk with me,"...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/647536Mahakasyapa left his wealthy life to follow the path of englightenment. He was privileged to meet the Buddha and live enlightenment with him. Mahakasyapa's account of the meeting goes" "I approached the Exalted One, bowed my head at his feet and stood to one side. And as I stood to one side, I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/W_W_T_S/647428St Theresa of Avila talks about humiliation in her works on spirituality and the soul. Humiliation has its value in the sense that it is and opportunity to receive, confirm or activate dignity and humility.
