![]() Don’t Quit ![]() When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and debts are high, And you want to smile, but have to sigh, When care is pressing you down more than a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t ever quit. Life can be strange with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns. But many a failure can turn about, And we could be winning, if only we stick things out. Don’t give up, even if the pace appears to be slow. You may succeed, with just one more blow. Success is failure turned inside out. It’s the silver tint on the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close to it you are, It could be near, when it still seems very far. So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit. And when things seem at their worst. That’s the time when it’s most unwise to quit. Anon. The world around us is a mirror of what is taking place inside us. Through the actions and reactions of the people around us it is constantly trying to provide us with some kind of feedback. This is known as Universal guidance and we do well to listen to what the Universe has to say. And whenever things in our lives are not going the way we would want them to, almost certainly this is a signal from the Highest that for us the time has come to take stock and make some changes. Making an effort to attend to the special lessons we have agreed to learn in the course of our present lifetime, long before we entered into it, re-aligns our energies with those of the Universe and we get back into harmony with ourselves and the predestined pathway of our life. Whenever any change of direction is required, we do not have to do anything of the kind, because we have been given freedom of choice. However, wise ones pay attention to whatever guidance comes their way and when next time something appears to go wrong in their lives, they try their hand at something else and look towards channelling their energies into different avenues of expression. The Universe constantly offers us choices and no-one can force us into doing anything we do not like or to believe things that do not sound true to us. There is always a choice and it has to be made – by us. But, before we can choose wisely, we first have to become aware of the fact that we are allowed to choose. Try not to overlook that not choosing also amounts to a choice.

![]() Do It Now ![]() It isn’t the things we do, my Friend, It’s those that are left undone, That cause us most heartache, At the setting of the Sun. The tender words forgotten, The letters we didn’t write, The flowers we did not send Become haunting ghosts at night. The stones we could have lifted Out of another’s way. The words of heart-felt counsel We didn’t take time to say. The loving touch of a hand, The warm and gentle tone, We neither had time nor thought for, Having troubles enough of our own. The little acts of kindness, That so easily slip from one’s mind Are the only chances of acting like Angels We poor mortals find. They come in night and silence, Those sad, reproachful wraiths, When hope is faint and flagging, And a chill is falling on our faith. Earth life is all too short, my Friend, And this world’s sorrows are too great, To put up with a slow compassion That tarries, until it’s too late. That’s why it isn’t the thing we do, But those that are left undone That give us most of the heartache, At the setting of the Sun. Created by Anon. Edited by Aquarius * * *

![]() Healing Prayer For Parents And Children Forgiveness From The Heart Part One ![]() Naturally, these energies can be used beneficially by everything that is taking part in our world, therefore all human relationships. It makes no difference whether someone we would like to make peace with is in our world or has already moved on into the spirit realm. Because on the inner level of life all is one and there is no separation between anything, forgiving and healing that relationship through making peace is always possible. It probably works better from a distance and in our thoughts than face to face. Here are some suggestions of how to approach the matter. O Great Spirit, Mother/Father Creator, Grant me the gift of Your Divine wisdom and forgiveness, So that I may pardon each and every one Who ever hurt or wounded me, including myself. Help me to forgive every cruelty and unkindness That was ever done to me by anyone, in word, thought and deed. With hindsight, I can see that all who treated me this way Supplied me with a special service and were my best teachers, Because they all helped me to become the one I am now, And for that, Great Spirit, I truly am thankful. Thank you for showing us that each one of us is Your child Whom You have granted the gift of another lifetime on the Earth, So that we should learn and grow some more, Each through their own experiences. Thank you for the Angels, Masters and guides who are Protecting us and lighting the way back home into the oneness with You. I rejoice to know that we are all children in the great school of life, Which You so lovingly have created for us. I pray for Your forgiveness for the mistakes I have made, Throughout this whole lifetime and all previous ones. Help me to draw the learning from them, So that I may bring forth all that is good and noble within me, Finding wholeness and healing through becoming Ever more like You and being closer to You. As the road of this earthly life is long and difficult And strewn with many kinds of temptations Which my earthly self finds hard to resist, Assist me with being strong in my determination to overcome them. Help me to accept and love myself the way I am, Safe in the knowledge that Your great wisdom and love Created me – and everybody else – in Your Divine image, And that you love us all totally and unconditionally. To break the vicious circle of acting against my own best interests And of being my own worst enemy, When it comes to solving any problem, help me To listen to Your help and guidance that comes From deep within my own heart, where You dwell. Help me to stop finding fault with myself and those around me, But to love and accept myself and them they way we are. Whenever I encounter difficulties, especially in relationships, Grant me the gift of the ability to first look to myself to resolve them. Now that I understand that the purpose of life on Earth Is growth and evolution that leads each and every one of us To ever higher levels of consciousness, And knowing that all my experiences only ever happened Because they meant to teach me something, I let go of all resentment and grudges I ever Bore against anyone, including myself. Help me, Great Spirit, to love wisely, the way You do, Myself and everything that comes my way, Knowing that it is part of Your Creation, That it has been prepared by Your great wisdom and love. Help us all to dissolve the chains and shackles of Karma that Have bound us to each other, for so many lifetimes, So that we may set ourselves and each other free From the bondages that were created By the darkness of the ignorance of our true nature of past Ages. Help us to free our world from all hatred, resentment, envy and greed, And to fill us and it with Your Divine Wisdom, Power and Love. My soul yearns to make peace with You and all life, Because I now so much better understand You and the processes of the life You created for us. - To be continued. - * * *

![]() Healing Prayer For Parents And Children Forgiveness From The Heart Part Two Help me to forgive the mother of this lifetime for any unlovingness She has shown towards me, knowingly or unknowingly, especially . . . [Now pour your pain into God, who understands the way of all things] Help me to forgive her for the times she failed to provide me with The deep and fully satisfying Mother’s nurturing That only You, my Divine Mother, can give to any of Your children. Help me to forgive myself for expecting Such love from someone who is merely human, Like myself and who is, therefore, but one of your children, On her own pathway of evolution and therefore still imperfect. Help me to forgive the father of this lifetime for any unlovingness He has shown towards me, knowingly or unknowingly, especially . . . [Now pour your pain into God, who does understand] Help me to forgive him for the times he failed to provide me with The deep and fully satisfying Father’s love, Forgiveness and understanding that You alone, my Divine Father, Can feel towards all my efforts. Help me to forgive myself for expecting Such love from one who is merely human, Like myself and who is, therefore, but one of your children, On his own pathway of evolution and still imperfect. Help me to forgive my partner for any unlovingness S/he showed towards me, during the times You have given us together, Knowingly or unknowingly. Especially . . . [Now pour your pain into God, who does understand] Help me to forgive her/him and also myself for Any hurt and pain we ever caused each other, For misunderstandings and abuse of any kind, For not entering into the deep and fully satisfying Relationship that is only possible between You and me. Help me to recognise that it is folly to expect such Perfect love and understanding from a mere human being who, Like me, is Your child, on her/his own pathway of evolution And therefore still imperfect. Continue with this prayer until each and every one, Who has ever hurt or wounded you, has been forgiven. Finish off with: Help me to forgive myself for all false expectations I ever hoped Could be fulfilled in any of my human relationships, When this can only be found in You, my Divine Mother/Father. You are the Divine lover, who is alive in each one of us, And You alone have the power to know and fulfil all my needs. All those around me and with me are but outer manifestations of You. And each one who has ever shared my life with me, Is Your child and constantly searching the perfect loving relationship That we can only have with You. Help me to forgive my children for being [or having been] Unable to fulfil the unrealistic hopes and dreams I once nurtured, And that made me long and yearn for them, Ever since I myself was a child who had to endure the suffering At the hands of parents and other adults, Who as yet failed to understand their own true nature and Yours, And the reason why they were here. Having no idea about the purpose and meaning of this life, How could they understand me? Thank You for allowing me access to the knowledge that The children who came through me are not my children but Yours And that they are in this life to fulfil their own Dreams And reach their own Highest potential, not mine. Like me, they are hoping to re-learn to walk Hand in hand with You and the Angels, the way we all once did. Help me, Great Spirit, to forgive myself and all those Who ever hurt and wounded me for the suffering we, In the ignorance of our true nature, Inflicted upon each other, in the course of many lifetimes. Help us all to set each other free. Hand in hand with You and the Angels, I release all those who have ever shared my life From the Karmic chains and shackles of all lifetimes, I forgive each and every one and set them free, now. May the bonds that exist between us be transmuted into those of True siblinghood, friendship and love, For You, each other and the world You so lovingly Brought into being for us, and re-create anew each day to our joy. With my whole being, with all my heart and soul, Mind, body and spirit I thank You for the gift of this life. May the blessing and healing Power of Your Spirit Now freely flow through me and all those mentioned in my prayer. I love You with all my heart and soul and my whole being, And I trust the blessing and healing power of Your Divine Fatherly/Motherly wisdom and love To bless and heal the wounds of all lifetimes in me and all life. Amen A very happy Christmas and New Year 2018 for everyone.

![]() Christmas Prayer ![]() Great Spirit, Father/Mother of all life, Please give us eyes this Christmas To see the Christmas Star. And give us ears so that we may hear the song Of the Angels from afar. With eyes and ears attuned To their messages from above, May the Christmas Angels speak to us Of renewed hope, faith and love.

And love to break down barriers Of colour, race and creed, So we may see and understand, And help all those in need. Amen Jelise Edited by Aquarius * * *

![]() You Can Do It ![]() You don’t need to be told: ‘Life’s not easy and some hills are hard to climb!’ You don’t need to be told: ‘Have patience, it’ll all come in good time!’ You’ve got enough determination To see you through, And if you muster the patience, Good luck will come, too. You may have to weather a storm or two, But don’t put your plans on the shelf. You’ll only get where you’re going By believing in yourself. So go on, give life your best shot. Success will not pass you by, If you remember that the only failures Are those who never try. Created by Anon. Edited by Aquarius * * *

![]() The Best Is Yet To Come ![]() For those who fail to make an effort at finding the true purpose of their existence on the Earth plane, it may well be necessary to return to it in a future life and doing the whole thing all over again. That’s why suicide is never an option when the going gets tough. I do not want to come back yet again, not if I can help it, do you? I would really rather try to get everything as right as I possibly can, this time round. But why are we here in the first place? The way I understand the matter is that we have been placed in this life to achieve the wholeness and perfection that is in God. We consist of the same polarities and dualities that are in God and our task as healers and lightbringers is to balance them with each other, to achieve the perfect equilibrium of the Divine. Most of us are probably still a long way from this goal, in which case there is nothing for it but to keep on accepting and loving ourselves, in spite of the fact that we are mere human beings with all their shortcomings and character flaws. But there is also another far more important aspect of our nature and that is our spirit and soul. They are of Divine origin and immortal and for ever more of us the time has come to get in touch with them and learn to live in peace and harmony with them. I can think of no better tool than astrology to assist us with gaining a deeper understanding first of ourselves and our own predestined pathway through life, and then of those around us. Studying every one of my interpretations of the Sun signs is a good starting point. Getting to know the positive and negative qualities and expressions of our own sign and then of all the others in my view is a unique and special way of learning to love, appreciate and respect ourselves as the precious and unique beings we truly are. Only from this love and with an ever deepening understanding of life’s purpose and meaning in general can grow a genuine respect and appreciation for everybody and everything that shares our world with us. The energies are now right for doing this and many friends and helpers who are invisible to earthly eyes are reaching out for us in these difficult times. All we have to do is attune the receiver/transmitter station of our earthly mind into the frequencies of higher and highest levels of life where they are dwelling and for a long time have been waiting for our call. When we willingly work hand in hand with them and bring forth the best that is in us to unselfishly serve them, we can act as their channels through which the blessing and healing energies of the Highest can flow into our world. If we don’t know how to go about this, we need to ask them to show us how to gain more confidence, drive and initiative and a proper appreciation of ourselves as a valuable member of the human race. To enable us to tap into and bring forth our inner resources, it is essential to develop our intuition, our inner teacher. This is best done through meditations, prayers and quiet reflections and by listening within, so that the living God within can communicate with us in full consciousness. All the knowledge in the Universe is within us. No outside influences are involved in this, everything comes from deep inside our own being. Trying it out to see for ourselves how it works, we stand everything to gain and nothing to lose. And because the law of life is love and evolution, every lifeform is constantly moving forwards and upwards on an evolutionary spiral. That’s why it is quite justified – and by no means foolishly optimistic and unfounded – to expect that with the passing of time earthly life too will get better and easier to cope with. Through developing more positive and constructive thinking and behaviour patterns, each one of us is required to do their share of bringing healing and peace to us and our world. Beautiful Things Knowing that beautiful things are right and true, And that beautiful actions please God, Helps wise ones to develop their inward sense of What is right, true and beautiful. The highest wisdom is to trust One’s intuition and following its guidance, For the answer to the last appeal of what is right or wrong Lies within everybody’s own heart. So, trust thyself. Aristotle 384-322 BC Edited by Aquarius * * *

![]() No Regrets ![]() Even if earthly lifetimes last one hundred years, They’re too short for spending them regretting things, So love the people who treat you right And leave behind the ones who don’t. Never forget that everything in this life Is of a temporary nature and Never more than a passing phase. Everything that happens is only there For teaching us some kind of a lesson and Whenever life offers us a second chance, Let’s grab it with both hands and Do our best to create something of value from it. Nobody promised Earth life would be easy. But when in future something changes Our life profoundly, Let’s go with the flow and allow things to happen, Resting safely in the knowledge that, As long as we grow and learn something From every one of them, Our earthly stay will not have been A wasted one.

![]() Let It Be ![]() Whenever I’m in trouble, The Great Mother’s wisdom stirs in me As the small still voice of my conscience Who speaks to me: ‘There’s a reason for everything And an answer to all your questions. Let Me show the way and Refuse to rush into things. For a while let them be, So I can show you how to respond. Just ‘Let it be.’ In my deepest, darkest hours Great Mother whispers: ‘Let it be.’ And even if the broken-hearted people Of our world as yet cannot recognise Her presence, The only thing they need to do is ask For the guidance and protection of Mother and the Angels. It will never be denied. That’s how, in due course, Everybody learns about the living God within And through their own experiences finds out that No-one is ever apart from God, And that with the help and will Of God and the Angels, The right manner of handling Any situation is sure to be found. Just tell them about your troubles And let them be. Spiritual wisdom and truth are God’s light. Whenever my life clouds over, I ask for the radiance of this light To shine onto my problems And intuitively show me the way forward. Knowing that it is always the right one for me, Even though it may not be for anyone else, And that this will continue forever, It’s easy to let people and things be. These days in difficult situations Mother’s love and wisdom soon take over. She is my inner guidance who Whispers to me: ‘Look for the lesson, be patient And allow yourself to be. As you know by now, The answers to all your questions will Never fail to come and light your way. Just let yourself be and enjoy the voyage Of your earthly life as much as you can, Bearing in mind that it’s merely a passing phase On the evolutionary pathway of your spirit and soul.’ Paul McCartney Edited by Aquarius Recommended Viewing: • ‘Let It Be’ ‘Being part of and at one with the Great Father/Mother of all life, your soul is psychic and therefore as familiar with the past as the present and future. The Great Mother is the soul of the whole of Creation. She is the wise one within who knows the answers to every one of your questions. All She desires is to protect the human race against destroying itself. She has always been with you and part of you. When you laugh, she enjoys herself with you. And when you are sad and lonely or in pain, She suffers with you. We speak most earnestly to all of you and urge you to bring forth and develop the highest and noblest qualities of the Great Mother. The Virgin Mary of the Jesus legend as the mother of God is but one of Her many symbols.’ Extract from a teaching of the White Eagle group of spirit guides in ‘Spiritual Wisdom And Understanding A Growing Organism’ From ‘Songs Of Inspiration’ * * *
