Who Were You Then, Who Are You Now

I was looking in an old photo album for my school certificates and I caught sight of photos of me at 18 years old. I was amazed at what I saw. I looked at two photographs in particular:-

At 18, I was focused and in control of my life.

I saw in these pictures, a strong minded, confident young woman who was focused and in control of her life. She knew what she was doing and where she was going. And, the funny thing is, that although bad things had happened to her in her young life, it did not dampen her happy and pleasant personality or mind-set.

She did not allow events to deviate her from her pathway in life. She automatically allowed bad events go ‘over her head’. For her it was just ‘instinctive’. She was always in a state of ‘Repose and Poise’. She was not fickle. She was loyal and faithful and adhered to the Laws of the Universe. She was resourceful, resilient, dependable and reliable.

I remember that people used to think this young woman in the photo was older than her years because of her focus, maturity, knowledge and wisdom. As I looked at her pose in the photograph, it was a strong, grounded, confident poise that said ‘I AM’. I noticed the clothes she was wearing. It was not that of a teenager but a young person whose statement was;

At 19 years old I was resourceful,
 resilient, dependable and reliable. 

‘I know who I AM, I know where I am going; I know what I want in life.’

I saw this amazing Powerful person….I saw ME as I was then. I am this person now, as I was then. And, I still dress in my own style that says ‘I am ME, I know where I am going, and I know what I want in life’.

Not many people can still boast youth, vitality, and Personal Power past 50 years old.

But, you know, it wasn’t always this way for me. Between the ages of 19 and 38 years of age, a ‘thing’ happened to me and for whatever reason, I decided to forget how resourceful I was and made it an ‘issue’ for me. For many years I wandered in the wilderness, doing my ‘poor me’, ‘low self-esteem’, ‘victim’ drama. Life and opportunities passed me by. It took me many years to realise that this ‘performance’ was not getting me anywhere. So I made the decision to ‘buck up’ my ideas.

I embarked on a pathway of Personal Development in all areas of my life; body, mind and spirit and I regained my Personal Power. I AM, once more, this powerful person I was many years ago. This is my revelation. What an incredible accomplishment. I never really lost it; it was always there, within ME.

And, I will tell you a secret; do you know that everyone is born with the same Power that I have. As young children and/or young adults it is instinctive to be resourceful and resilient.

Not many people can still boast youth,
vitality, and Personal Power past 50 years old. 

We grow up, things happen to us or we make bad choices; it’s natural. We can either stay down or get up and start again.

Have you lost your personal power? What would you do or pay, to have your Power back. Are you ready and willing to give up your ‘stuff’? Take back what is rightfully yours. Whose life is it anyway? You know, you never really lost your Power; it is always within you.

People ask me if I still coach clients, the answer is Yes. Even though I am concentrating on my book(s), I will always make time to assist clients to get where really they want to be.

Does the Subconscious Mind Have A Sense Of Humour

I had another dream; I dreamt the Queen's guards
(and some on horseback) were keeping watch
outside my home.

A few of years ago, I was going on holiday for a week. At the time, there were a lot of burglaries going on in the area and I was concerned for my home. Feeling uneasy about leaving my home unattended, I sat quietly and asked my subconscious mind; if my apartment would be safe while I was away?

Soon enough, I dreamt that the fire brigade was keeping watch outside my home. In my dream, I looked out of my window, and there they were; fire engines everywhere. But that dream was not enough, I was still not convinced.

A couple of days later, I asked the question again; will my home be safe while I am away?

Again, I had another dream. I dreamt that the Queen’s guards (and some guards on horseback) were keeping watch outside my home. In my dream, I looked out of my window and there they were.


Yet still, I was not content. I was as concerned as ever. A third time I asked my subconscious mind; will my home be safe while I am away on holiday? Sure enough, in a night or two I had a dream.

I dreamt that the Thunderbird Four submarine had landed in our back garden. Out came about six or more S.A.S soldiers, all dressed in black. How did I know that they were S.A.S; well, because they had S.A.S printed on their backs. They came into my apartment carrying guns, looking in all the rooms. I just stood there and watched them and I burst out laughing. I laughed so much that I actually woke up from the dream still laughing.

I knew then, without a shadow of a doubt that my home would be safe. I laughed even more to know that my subconscious mind does indeed have a sense of humour.

Needless to say I had my holiday; worry free and my home remained safe.

Thank God for our subconscious mind, even if we haven’t yet learnt to listen when it communicates with us.

Being Happy

I’ve noticed that most people walk around with a serious look and miserable expression on their faces. So when I meet the odd person who seems to be always happy, I find them very fascinating. And I feel compelled to ask them the question. “Why are you always happy? What’s your secret?”

The responses are nearly always the same. Maybe there are one or two here for you to choose from to get you started on being happy.

How to be Happy:-

•  Be resilient, even if you are hurting for one reason or another, absorb yourself in work.

•  Keep busy.

•  Always make the best you can.

•  Don’t let circumstances get the better of you, adopt an attitude of self-preservation.

•  Adopt an attitude of RESILIENCE (bring it on!!) and RESOURCEFULNESS.

•  Find something you love doing and enjoy what you do.

•  Give yourself CHOICES regardless.

•  Achieve more by being NICE to people.

•  Attitude in life – make the most of it. Life is too short.

•  Be driven.

•  Be independent.

•  Love your job.

•  Take control of YOUR life.

• Exercise often – try Yoga.

Decide today to adopt an attitude of happiness.

You never know how your life will then turn out or what you will suddenly attract.

Imagine all the opportunities that will start coming your way.

There's No Such Thing As Coincidences

Broken Oath Book Discussion and Review: Prologue – Coincidences Coming Together 

(Part 5)

     “The Lady of Time stayed on the Earth’s plane for many years and embraced her new life. She put her purpose and duty behind her. She felt secure in the knowledge that their paths would never cross again. But Time goes on relentlessly and regardless. Doors open and close; situations and circumstances come and go until eventually one door aligns with another and suddenly an opportunity arises to create a condition that allows unfinished and forgotten business to come back into play yet again.”

Hello Readers

There is a hidden story in the last paragraph of the Prologue. From my life experience, I have observed that complacency is a dangerous thing and only the wise, knows how to use such conditions to their own advantage. The wise one knows it is not only one force that is at play in any given moment of time. There is always someone or something waiting for an opportunity to exert its intention and sooner or later, that which we dread or fear will come into being.

I have observed that whatever it is you have left undone or unfinished, it does not die or cease to exists anymore; it simply waits for a complimentary energy to adhere itself to. It is usually in the form of a window of opportunity that will bring it back into your world and into play. Sometimes it’s a pleasant occurrence and sometime it is that situation you thought you would never have to see or live through again.

Time is power over everything and all that IS. It chooses when, and then the moment comes; to which you have no control or say in the matter, except how you deal the situation.

The Lady of Time felt secure that she had left her past behind her because periods passed without incident. It appeared as though the Lord Supreme was doomed to live a life of servitude to a new master or in his case, a new mistress. And the mistress; the unforeseen third party, is an energy that has been watching and waiting throughout time for the right force and window of opportunity to bring herself into his world but with a twist, the Lord Supreme is now in her world. 

All these happenings are not mere coincidence; rather they are coincidences coming together for a bigger purpose brought on by a building up the energies of more than one unfinished business and the wisdom of a female who took the opportunity to exert her intention. And as she will find out to her displeasure, hers is not the only force at play. It is the nature of everyone to think that we are the only one that matter; the only one with a desire, never suspecting that there is always another energy waiting for that chance exert itself.

Complacency is a habit and it is contagious. Beware your karma, no matter what role you play in an existence, it will seek you out, eventually.

The last page of the prologue is spellbinding. The reader in now compelled to read on to the next chapter to find out the master plan.

Stay tuned, for in the next review, we will be examining Chapter One – An Old Wooden Box.

If you are feeling left out of the discussion, get busy and read the book.

An Old Soul Who Is Always There - Broken Oath; Prologue Book Review and Discussion (Part 4)

I remember as a child and even as a young person, I would see certain people or characters (as I would now call them) who always seemed to be in my life, but never taking part in it. They appeared to be old looking and when I became a mature adult, they seem to be the same old people; never interacting with me or taking part in my life but they were in it.

I used to imagine (and maybe I still do) that they were some sort of special beings, like angels or guardians, or maybe ‘watchers.’ I used to think they were just there to record happenings of every event in our lives.

I see these strange characters now and then. And to this day, they appear to look exactly the same.
Sometimes I would think that no one can see them but me. Do you see characters like these in your lives?

When I created the personality of the Physician I had one of these odd characters in mind; an old man who remains old and ageless. Someone who always appear to be there.

The Physician is a very special person who does get to interact fully with the characters in the book. He is a watcher, a guardian, a magician, an alchemist and much more.

At first he quietly administers care to The Lady of stature, then, suddenly he has a voice and becomes a champion who rescues her from distress with his bag of magical potions and creates a ‘mystical place’ out of nowhere behind secret enclosed panels.

In his role as Physician to the Lord Supreme he plays the ‘watcher.’ He is in the life of his Lord but not part of it. All this time he has been patiently observing and waiting for the right moment to intervene.

As he takes The Lady through into the Chamber of Time, he knew it was the master plan all along. He did not choose her by chance. Nor was he accidently in the same realm where she was imprisoned. He was there, watching and waiting for the right moment to influence her into making the decision to become The Lady of Time.

That is the role of the Physician; to always be present, observe and to intervene only with a purpose in mind. But beware when you accept his assistance, for there can be no going back.

That being so, maybe it is best to not to pay too much attention to these timeless characters who are always there, for if they notice you or you see them, the union may not be to your liking.

Reading through the book, you will discover there is more to the Physician than meets the eye. He is a character who becomes known by other names; an old soul who is always there.

If you have your own opinion on the character of the Physician, feel free to add to the discussion or send me an email.

How Do You React If You Find Out You Have Cancer?

Some time ago, I met 2 beautiful young ladies who happened to be sisters. Whilst we were chatting and finding out about each other, one sister mentioned that she was off sick from work for 6 months. I looked at her and said. “What for, you look wonderful and fine to me.” And she did. She was bright, positive, she had a gorgeous smile that lit up the room, her energy was high, she looked extremely healthy, exactly the right amount of flesh on her bones and curves in all the right places.

She told me she had breast cancer, and that she had been undergoing treatment for the last 5 months. She had one more treatment to go. I was amazed. I said. “But you look wonderful!” She went on to say that her hair was a wig (you could have fooled me. Her hair looked so real and perfect)

I became intrigued as to how she managed to carry off this ‘appearance.’ She says she pays no mind to the cancer; she refused to accept and acknowledge it. She wanted to live. She wanted to get married and have kids and have a bright and positive future.

She went on to say she goes to the gym, jogs and engages in all kind of keep fit activities. She simply lived life to the full. She refuses to run with the cancer. “Let it run its own race.” She retorted. Just looking at her, she was definitely winning the race and running ahead with Life. She refused to give the cancer a life (her life). She refused to give it a meaning or an existence. I was so impressed. I observed her as she told her story. I could see she was going to win, she was going to Live. She had no self-pity and no pity for the cancer. She was celebrating and living Life. Well done to her.

I told her she was truly amazing. I know this young lady will live to tell her story to many people; her future husband, children and grandchildren, because she was looking forward to getting on with Life. May she live long and prosper.

I have shared this story many times over but only when it needed to be told and this is just an occasion.

This story is to commemorate my dear friend Ian who lost his battle with cancer in January this year and to remind myself and others that it is not all bad. With cancer, you win some, you lose some.

Farewell Ian, until we meet again.

                                                      

farewell my friend

Many Purpose, One Soul - BROKEN OATH Book Review and Discussion Part Three (The Lord Supreme)

Hello avid readers

I know it has been a while since the last book discussion; I did not want to interfere with Mother’s Day. Also I wanted to give as many readers as possible, time to digest the book review before moving on, plus before I could blink, Easter was on our doorstep.

Now that we have these events behind us, I hope you have enjoyed the last two evaluations of Broken Oath. Now, let’s continue the discussion:-

But, before I start, I’d like to point out the fact that, it was the Prologue we were discussing in the last two reviews and not chapter one; my apologies. We shall move on to the character of the Lord Supreme.

It is clear and obvious that he is indeed a handsome man who is proud, confident and even arrogant. I can imagine him just as he is portrayed in the beginning of the book and his stance as he admires his kingdom. He is a strong minded person, who demands not just obedience, but a complete submission of will from all his subjects.

As it is seen with his relationship with The Lady of stature; it is not enough for him to have her physically, he wants a ‘giving up’ of her higher-self, to him. Only then will he be satisfied. He appears all powerful, but when it comes to relationships, he lacks the natural flare on how to charm a lady. Yet, with his energy, he masks this flaw in his character as he gains more points in managing all in his kingdom.

He is a man who is used to getting his own way in every area of his life and has never come across any obstacle until his encounter with The Lady of stature. His force which enables him to conquer all human will, does not even waver with this Lady; and he soon becomes obsessed with her.

Her untamed energy attracted him. This is clear when he reflects on his observation of her in court; he could see clearly that no one or man had power over her. She was in total control. Did he see her as a challenge? It is said that we all crave that which we cannot have or that which is beyond our reach.

Or, maybe he felt she equalled or complimented his own energy and in his mind he fantasised that they would be happy together.

I have heard that story before on more than one occasion; listening to friends who are so infatuated with a person they believe something is going on or will happen. But it is just an illusion of the mind.

In the case of the Lord Supreme, his ego helps to dictate his decisions which compel him to make this one sided relationship work, one way or the other.

Despite his lack of dating skill, he does have other abilities to compensate. He is very intelligent, manipulative, and skilled in the art of dark magic and/or alchemy. He easily entered the domain where The Lady of stature resides, unnoticed and unchallenged by the guards he took her away without confrontation.

Yet with all his skills would he ever find a dark magic that would enable him to possess her soul?

His pride and arrogance would never let her go and he is a very determined man who was prepared to kill her rather than admit defeat. This is why the Physician intervened just in time to rescue The Lady from her fate.

This desperate need to possess the body, mind and soul of The Lady of stature would eventually burn into his own soul and cause him to act out the same no win scenario again in his next existence.

This is a karmic loop which happens to be best of us, and we are not aware of it. We will keep on making the same mistakes until we learn from them. Only then, can we move on to the next level of our lives, whether it be this or the next reincarnation of our soul.

The Lord Supreme activates his own karma; once he is transported to another dimension by the newly formed Lady of Time, as the Lord Supreme dominates, so he too is to be dominated…by a Woman.

His arrogance creates problems as it make him blind to what is really happening; when he is transported to another dimension, as he lay frozen, shivering on the ground; his body covered with ice; even though he no longer had the upper hand, still, he tries to exert his supreme authority. He became enraged when this unknown female did not yield to his force. He is aware that he is in a dilemma but he is determined not to give in; his ego would not let him.

His traits are not necessarily a bad thing as his new mistress is well aware. His ego gives him courage to keep going as oppose to giving up.

She knows his energy is very potent and can be of much use to her in more ways than one which is why it is no accident that she creates a new role for him, one that in fact fits his character, like a glove. He is chosen to commit to an oath that was always meant to be him.

The Universe does not act on impulse and it does not discriminate but ordains what is already going to be.

The character of the Lord Supreme certainly makes this book a compelling read.

If you have any comments to add to this review, please feel free to join in and add to the discussion.

Next discussion (in two weeks) we will review – the Physician.
