Good Evening, it’s taken a little while longer. For some reason her heart is beating very fast, (laughs). So, welcome. Now, perhaps the eyes will stay closed tonight, I am not sure. We have practiced, but, it seems every time I open the eyes Gina wants to jump in there. So, it is much simpler and also for me, as I don’t normally have those things. So, if it is alright for you, these eyes will stay closed for most of the session.

We have some new people, huh? This is nice, some a little noisy, some a little curious. Good, this is good.

Last time I spoke to you, we talked of peace. How has your peace been? Ahh, I get mixed reactions. For those of you who weren’t here last week, I will try to give you a brief summary as it is important for what we are going to be talking about tonight. I guess, the most important aspect of peace, is that it dwells within you. In fact, it is who you are. Sometimes, it is very difficult for us to accept this as we get caught up with, what I would call illusion. But, when you have a quiet moment and you are thinking peaceful thoughts, then you know you have come home. We often,- I always struggle, forgive me- you, this word you and we is very difficult for me, for, it defines a separateness. But I will try and use the word tonight when it is useful. You, often, think that peace is outside yourself, or, that it must be peaceful around you, in order for you to feel peace. I have a lovely example, oh, I have two (laughs). Gina was wondering around earlier, trying to be peaceful, and she could hear the laughter and, dare I say what she was thinking, she was thinking "I must ask them to make their voices more quiet, so that I can be at peace." And of course, I had something to say about that, because peace comes from within. And if, you are to make a more peaceful world, you must learn to find that peace within, amongst turmoil. It is not easy, sometimes, I am sure.

Last week, I gave you a simple exercise, perhaps too simple- simply by saying the word "peace". I wonder if you tried it this week, and if it helped you. It is important in your every day life to find something- a word, a sound, a prayer, a breath. Whatever it is that will help you to remain at peace with yourself.

Last week, a very wonderful question was asked. There were many, but one in particular. And I feel, I should talk a little about it. It was the question of separateness. Why do we feel separate from one another? When you love someone, deeply, perhaps you are in love. Do you feel separate from that person, or do you sometimes feel you are one? It is that feeling, of oneness, that you must learn to hold throughout the hustle and bustle of your everyday life. Tonight, I have my eyes closed. It is much easier with your eyes closed, to feel as one with everything and everyone around you. But, perhaps you will say to me "I cannot walk through life with my eyes closed." But me friends, my dear ones, you do- in a different way. And perhaps it is not the eyes that are closed, perhaps, it is the hearts sometimes. Forgive me, for speaking so strongly to you, but I feel it is necessary for you to see (laughs) (good choice of words-to see)-to feel- perhaps is better said- what occurs. In the third dimension, in the physical dimension, that you predominantly operate, visual, is very important. In fact, sometimes, it influences many of your decisions. I have come here tonight to ask you, to try to see with your hearts. For when you see with your hearts, and you feel as well, I think you will find, you will not be so separate from one another. But how do you do this, perhaps you are asking me. And I would say that is a very good question. (laughs)

How do you see with your heart? I think many of you actually already have the answer. That’s good, that’s nice. When you see with your heart and you feel with your heart, you have compassion. By having compassion, you come from love. So, when you feel separate in your world, when things are happening to you in your everyday life, that make you feel that you are not connected to one another, stop, breathe, say your words of peace, whatever it is that will bring you to seeing with your heart.

Perhaps you have questions? So it is clear to you all? Oh, I am pleased. I think you all have the desire to come from love. If you struggle with that sometimes it is merely because you have forgotten to look with your hearts. I sense confusion, questions? If you have confusion and questions ask them of yourselves, say them out loud if you need to or ask them within, you will find the answers will come to you. Perhaps you have already heard them. Sometimes they come in a voice. Sometimes they come in an experience. Sometimes they come as a challenge. But if ask, dear friends, if you ask, you will receive the answers you require. I sense that you all wish to come from love and to be at peace. There are beautiful words, ‘ask and you shall receive’. Ask and you shall receive. Sometimes, you ask, and you receive the answer (laughs) but you don’t believe it. You say, ‘that must be my imagination’. ‘That must be my mind playing tricks on me.’ Or you have asked, and the answer you get, is a very difficult one. Have faith, dear ones, have faith, your intentions, I sense, are good. If the answer that has come to you, resonates with love, you will know. Do not let your mind tell you otherwise. Often, when you are very busy in life, you get caught up working from the mind. And the mind can be a tricky thing. But trust, have faith, in yourselves, for all your answers lay within you. I am merely here to remind you of that (laughs).

So once you have faith, a little, at each time, you will grow in your faith in yourself and with that you will find it easier to be at peace and to care and love for others. And when that happens, you will feel as one. You will not feel so separate from one another. And if worse comes to worse, just close your eyes. (laughs)

 

Be at peace dear ones and remember see with your hearts.
