When you are closest to making a breakthrough in your personal growth, your fear throws up the greatest intensity. It will do whatever it can to deter you from moving ahead. That is the nature of human consciousness and growth. If you succumb to its frightening and treacherous threats, pick yourself up and try again. With perseverance, your fear will exit the scene, and you will be standing in a sparkling new world. The problems encountered by those closest to Maliyan intensify as their paths intertwine more densely and their individual journeys traverse sinuous inner terrain. The rhythm and beauty of the natural environment around them comforts and pushes them ever onwards.—Sonder
“Close your eyes and breathe in,” said Maliyan calmly. “Hold your breath. Breathe out. Do this again. Rest your arms beside your body, palms facing down. Breathe in and then pat the bed several times with your palms as you breathe out. Do it again.
The 7-book Waldmeer Series: A Spiritual Fiction Series is now available in 3 convenient combined paperbacks (each one containing several books).
Don’t think a spiritual series pussyfoots around life. On the contrary, it looks at life and people honestly. What would be the point of a spiritual path if it didn’t understand the nature of life? It knows the problems. It also has some answers, but those answers can only be seen by those who are aching to see them.
My young co-author and I are happy to let you know that the next book in our children’s fiction series, Goodwood (Book 2 of the Riverland Series), has been published!
The Riverland Series is for 6 to 9-year-olds and their young-at-heart old folk. It is based on things that happened in our family over two generations. We would love to share Nannie’s Nest, Moon Hill, the Rock King, the Dividing Lines, Goodwood and, of course, Riverland with you and your family.
Riverland (Book 1 of the Riverland Series): “I wasn’t the first one in my family to visit Riverland. The first one was Uncle Tim. He was five and went there because of his dog. Many years later, I also went when I was five because of my dog. Since then, a lot has happened in Nannie’s Nest.”
Goodwood (Book 2 of the Riverland Series): “I bang my magic staff on the ground and say: I am strong, I have all the help I need, I am safe, I can deal with problems, I am loved, I get bright ideas, I make the world a better place, I am happy, I glow with moonbeam light.”
“I gave Nannie ideas for this series and told her what I liked and didn’t like. Also, as you can see from the pictures, we did the things in the story. Nannie said that the most helpful thing I did was to be myself. It’s hard when you try to be someone that you aren’t. But being yourself is the easiest thing in the world because you are already it!”
Not only is most of humanity not awake nor aware, but they do not even realise it is possible. However, our greatest gift as humans is that we can be conscious and live life with awareness. We have a choice, and what a blessing that is to our life. Consciousness is the path to alleviating every problem. When issues come our way, we will know how to receive the right ideas for dealing with those problems most effectively. Suffering will be hugely reduced until it is, one day, eliminated. Practise seeing yourself as being awake in all the various situations of your life. Practice is the path to eventual mastery.
True generosity does not want something in return, so it does not get frustrated and tired. True love does not want something in return, so it does not become hurt and withdraw its love. It does not evaluate the scales of what has been given and taken and decide that not enough is coming back. It is inexhaustible. Every time you get into the sphere of genuine love, it is a reward, not a drain. First and foremost, love blesses the person who is in the loving consciousness.
We must outgrow the tendency to look at sleep as a reprieve from the day’s problems, a welcome lapse into unconsciousness. Our body needs the physical rest of sleep, but our consciousness does not. It never sleeps. It works all through the night on something or other. That “something” will determine how we wake up and many other things as well. If you go to sleep unconsciously, it will be the perfect breeding ground for everything negative to percolate, manifest, and grow. The state in which you enter sleep will be magnified during the night.
Tonight, before you drift into slow theta brainwaves, commit your sleep to positive purposes and ask the higher powers to guide, protect, and heal you.
