If I survey the ground I tread
Or gaze upon the sky

Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than absorbing the frequencies around you, when you start imprinting your intent on the Universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence.

Based on our natural heritage as the Divine Light of God, every one of us possesses intuition… defined as the language of the Soul.

Our connection with our intuitive self is ever present and always a part of ourselves.

Possessing intuition is having an absolute trust in yourself. It is the only way to fulfill your highest aspirations and desires.

We all come to this planet as spiritual beings destined to experience a variety of challenges and situation in order to grow and evolve spiritually.

We use intuition as a way to connect with our Divine Self.

Pierre Pradervand
It is impossible to bless and judge at the same time. So hold constantly as a deep, hallowed, intoned thought, that desire to bless. For truly then shall you become a peacemaker. And one day you shall, everywhere, behold the very face of God.

On passing people in the street, on the bus, in places of work and play…bless them. The peace of your blessing will accompany them on their way and the aura of its gentle fragrance will be a light to their path.

The practise of blessing is a simple way to develop a constantly centred awareness. It is also a tool for growing in universal love and avoiding judgement.

Giacomo Puccini  1858 – 1924
The music of this opera (Madame Butterfly) was dictated to me by God; I was merely instrumental in putting it on paper and communicating it to the public.

The idea that the truth of God can be bound in any human system by any human creed by any human book is almost beyond imagination for me. God is not a Christian, God is not a Jew or a Muslim or a Hindu or Buddhist, all of those are human systems which human beings have created to try to help us walk into the mystery of God. I honour my tradition, I walk through my tradition, but I don’t believe my tradition defines God. I think it only points me to God.

Everything is beautiful in it’s own way.  Like the starry summer night,  or a snow-covered winter’s day.  And everybody’s beautiful in their own way.  Under God’s Heaven, the world’s gonna find the way.

There is none so blind as he who will not see.  We must not close our minds,  we must let our thoughts be free.  For every hour that passes by,  we know the world gets a little bit older, it’s time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Robert Louis Stevenson  1850 – 1894
