Passing through Time book review on Australian Writers Rock site

It is with great pleasure and overall #squuueeeeness that I present to you a review I received from "Australian Writers Rock" regarding Passing through Time (a book about the afterlife)

Review

"Passing Through Time is ‘conversations with God’ on a more intimate, realistic scale.

A lot of questions one might pose to God, or what we as mortal humans have perhaps considered inwardly, quietly to ourselves, Nicole openly asks her brother Jason, who has passed away in the prime of his life, he tells Nicole his own personal spiritual life experiences from ‘the other side’. Nicole shows no fear in communicating with Jason, I would be a little uncomfortable in the same situation. However, she is perfectly comfortable sensing Jason’s presence.

I love that Jason indicates to Nicole that life is the ‘illusion’, and death a kind of ‘reality’.  Regardless whether or not you believe in life after death, it’s an interesting take on the philosophy of life.

Nicole cleverly interspersed the stark reality of Jason's sudden death via short takes from her Mum’s diary. A humbling reminder of the other side of death, that whilst Jason is happy and content, those left behind are struggling. An enlightening read. Comforting and reassuring, no matter which side of the fence you sit on regarding your own personal beliefs on the big question, does life after death exist?"

WOW!!!! 

I truly feel very blessed and honoured by this amazing review.

Scars

I wanted to write today about Scars.
Those that are visible
as well as
those that are not.

Those we have given to others,
those that we have given to ourselves
and
those that others have caused.

We all have them.

Some are hidden
some are in plain view.

It is the ones that are hidden
that seem to hurt the most
that take longer to heal

And it all comes down to trust

You see when we are scarred on the inside
we have been hurt so badly emotionally
that the healing process takes a lot longer.
Visible scars can be covered
healed with cream
or laser treatments.

But invisible scars
those that seem to open
when we have forgotten the hurt
they take longer
they take trust to heal
they take faith in the Universe
that you will never be hurt
like that again.
They can open at the most
inappropriate times
When we are willing to trust again
a memory breaks through
and opens the scars one more time.

So how can we heal these invisible scars?

I believe we need to reach out and communicate
to those we truly trust.
To allow the scar to open up
so that we can
heal
and
move
forward.

Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable
to allow another to help with the
healing
that's what truly heals scars.

Being vulnerable
and allowing
help

I wonder how many of us
walk around this planet
with such intense invisible scars
that allow us to not reach our full potential?

Because pain and fear can either
help
or
hinder.

They can help by allowing us to truly
feel the pain, truly live in that fear
and face it head on.
To allow us to see that we are not only
surviving
we
are
thriving.

We have walked through the fire
and have the scars to prove it.

We have loved so deeply
so
intensely

We were willing to give our all
without fear
and we got burnt badly.

Yet,
we have the ability to heal ourselves
to start again
to start a fresh.

It is us that allow those scars
to continue to hold us back.
No one else hurts us so badly
as we do ourselves.

In loving ourselves
we heal ourselves

In healing ourselves
we nurture our soul and spirit.

And in that healing
we allow ourselves the
understanding
that we are worth
the risk
that scars may be opened
new scars may appear

But loving and being loved
is the most gracious energy.

In giving
we received
in loving
we
are
loved.

May your scars be healedso that you may trust again.

Are you part of the problem?

Good morning my lovely Twitterati, Fbookers and fellow blogging peeps

How you all doing this week?

The Sun has finally poked through
and once again illuminated Portland NSW in all it's splendor
no..
wait..
nup.. it's gone..

...again...


With the weather doing what it's doing
some are feeling downright gloomy

You can see it on their faces,
but most importantly
you can see it in their attitudes
to life
yours
and
theirs.

The ones that are constantly gloomy,
negative and even downright cranky
draw to them all those ions that
are running amok out there in the weather,
put their own pissed off energy to it
and begin creating chaos
out of nothing at all.

You see it too don't you?

Where there is no drama at all
a situation will occur
and it will be all out war,
between others,
work colleagues,
family,
friends
and on a larger level
community

It's always someone elses fault.

They
Their
and
Them.

Always to blame, they, their and them

If they didn't do that... I wouldn't do that
it's because they do this.. I'm like that
They make me feel this way.
It's because of them I do this.

You know 'those' people don't you
heck
you could be one of them
*shudders*

Always constantly with an opinion
on how others should behave
and if 'they' don't behave in a certain way
it's 'their' fault.

So how do you steer clear of such
people who are in constant chaos
(or more importantly how do you cure yourself of this)

Step away from the drama.

Acknowledge it yes.
But don't feed it.

Acknowledging it is happening around
is not the same as feeding it.
In feeding the constant chaos
we give it energy,
powerful and charged with
indecisiveness, criticisms & negativity.
We get sucked into it
the drama
the gossip
the criticism of another
hoping to God people won't see our
own failings
we point to anyone we can
saying ''but look what "THEIR doing''

Are they trying to reverse the mirror,
so we do not see the reflection of ourselves
in the drudgery and muckiness that is constant chaos?

Let em have it I say.

Let them run around like chickens,
telling all in sundry that the sky indeed is falling
(told you so)
and go about your day with a spring in your step
and lightness in your heart.

The lighter you are
the quicker you move.

Charge the energy of your soul
with acceptance
of yourself
for yourself.

Go beyond the doom and gloom
look skyward
and shine
just
shine

Constant Cravings

Good Morning Twitterati, Fbookers & fellow bloggers
I wanted to chat with you all about
what we crave in our lives
and how we tend to put those cravings
onto someone else
to make us happy
make us complete
make us worth it.

What do you crave?

Attention?

Do you put upon people that
you are important?

Do you constant search for attention
regardless of the situation you are in?

Do you become depressed when the focus
is no longer on you, and do you
feel that when not being paid attention
to, you become attention seeking,
searching and downright destructive
to anyone's needs but your own?

Is the need for constantly craving attention
stronger then the need to be part of something bigger?

When we search out attention, focusing on
the outside pats on the back,
others to tell you how important we are,
we truly do lose sight of our
own selves.
The need for attention turns in to the
more self destructive WANT for attention.
It fuels us, not to be a better human being
but to always be looked upon, without
really focusing inwardly on ourselves.

If you crave attention ask yourself these questions?

1. Why do I need another persons approval?
2. Am I being overindulgent in an area of my life
that I feel guilty about?
3. What am I not giving myself that someone else
needs to?

Craving attention = Not honoring your true self.
It is the energy of lack in one of the highest forms.


As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself -
Neale Donald Walsch

Do you crave affection?

The need to be loved becomes so entwined by
your own sense of self it then becomes
a wanting to be loved.. regardless by whom.
The moral high-ground gets swept aside as
you become a seeker of affection,
craving and wanting the energy of love so
deeply it becomes malicious,
addictive and to some extent
dangerous.
( Fatal Attraction bunny boiling scene anyone?)
*shudders*

The wanting to be loved becomes so
linked with our self worth, if we do not
feel we have love, or are loved, or have
been loved, we feel worthless.
Our own need for self approval again
rears its ugly head and comes crashing down
around our toenails.
We are not worthy if we are not loved.

But,
if we truly loved ourselves
would we seek it so much from others?

If we truly loved ourselves
would we keep doing what we are doing?

If we truly loved ourselves
would we allow another to express themselves
in their own way, instead of putting our own
spin on it, wanting it to be picture perfect?

Is the fairytale real?

Is our constant craving of attention and affection
stopping us from truly reaching the
Nirvana we have been searching for?

Do we hate ourselves that much
that someone else''s opinion rules our lives?

We ask others for their opinions
but do we really know where they are coming from themselves,
are they truly the best advice for our own lives?

Are the people we are striving to be loved and wanted,
needing to be loved and cared for themselves first?

Can we find it within ourselves to go within
to find ourselves?

I think we can.
Sure it's so much easier to rely on another,
but then,
in saying that
is it truly?

Is it so much easier for someone to give you
something
that you can readily give yourself?

Are you prepared to give to yourself first,
to show yourself your worth it
so that you no longer seek
the approval of another?

Are you strong enough to let go
of society's shackles of constant craving
and
feed your own soul?

I believe you are

I believe you can

Do you?

The long and winding road

*note: post first published Nov, 2011

Hiya Twitterati, Fbookers & fellow blogging peepers...

Portland Nsw has turned on the charm today
tís beautiful and sunny with no rain in sight
*looks tentatively at sky*

How you all doing today?

Funny to feel Christmas day fast approaching
while people are still in the whole
'meh, whatever' mode..
the common thread I hear most is
that they are "over it already"
Which makes me think...
Have we forgotten the energy of Christmas?

I not talking all the worship stuff
(whatever floats your boat)
I'm talking about the ENERGY of Christmas,
the celebration of life, of connection,
of communication.

The energy that draws with it excitement
of a New Year approaching,
the energy of taking stock and letting go
of being
completely thankful of what you have
gone through this year
and the knowing you are stronger then you were
this time last year.

Have you forgotten?

The times when you thought you couldn't face
another day like the one you were
merely trying to survive in,
another day that was like every other day?

Have you forgotten?

The times when you were so lost and felt
life was out of control and
everyone else got "it" but you.

Have you forgotten?

The times you felt victimised, crucified,
neglected, trodden on, and cast aside.

Have you forgotten
how
strong
you
truly
are
to
have
faced
life
head
on?

You are the most amazing person
because you continue to strive to be better

You are the most incredible person
because you seek your own truth
when those around you live in their
false reality

You are the most beautiful person
because you still are grateful
with everything you have gone through
you still found gratitude.

Do you know how hard other people
find it, to just keep going?

Yet
you do.

You keep going
You keep searching
and striving
to be better then yesterday

You honour yourself
by not giving up
You acknowledge that life
sucks yet you know it will only get better

You have faith, in faith.

That's all you need really.

Putting faith in faith.

Allowing the energy of faith to carry you through
the hard times.
Knowing that even when stripped bare
the faith you have in yourself will carry you
and allow you the greatest *hardest* lessons
of your life
And you are grateful for every single one of them.

There are - and will continue to be -
days, nights and even weeks
where you will feel that all faith is lost
but it is in that feeling of lack
that we find our greatest strengths.
It is in that feeling
that we truly understand what
is important to us
truly important.
what we are here for

Want to know the secret to life?
the reason why
we are all trundling along
together on this gorgeous Planet?

Be the very best YOU
you could ever be

Amaze yourself with how strong you truly are

And be grateful
that you have the choices that
give to you the best lessons you could ever
wish for
to know yourself
and
to know
that you truly are
AWESOME

Your mission in this life
- if you choose to accept it -

Is to be the best YOU you can be

thats it.
that's all we need to do.

Simple huh?

Are you being your best?

How amazing would it be if we chose to
teach our children from birth
that they are
truly brilliant
they are awesome
just by "being" themselves.

That nothing in this world is more important
then how you feel about yourself.
And if you find the faith in yourself
you will hold the world in your hands.

That you can want anything
but only need to be true to yourself

That you can have anything
but only need to be kind and loving to yourself

That you can get anything you want out of life
but only need to be present at every moment.

A spiritual conversation between a Sister and her Brother after his untimely death.

Have you ever wondered where we go when we die?
Have you had someone close to you die and just wish you could have one last chance to be in contact with them?
Have you ever been immersed in grief so strong you felt there was never going to be a chance to love and laugh again?

Passing through Time will open your eyes to a world we havee been so closed off from for so long.

Jason was a strong, fit and healthy young man with everything to look forward to in life.
His death of a heart attack at 29 years of age was a sudden shock to his loved ones. It was days later that he started to communicate with his sister Nicole.

Death or as Jason likes to call it 'Passing through Time', is not the end, but a continuing journey to become one with the God-Self, God-Force in each one of us. Every ones passing is unique and personal and Jason describes what each one see's and most importantly feels, whether it is a child or the elderly, an accident or suicide.

His love for life shines through the pages of the book and his cheekiness and larrikin awareness of all that is happening around him is honest and heartwarming to all who read his words.
Jason brings an awareness of what we have lost; our connection to each other, and urges each and everyone of us to know we have never been alone, and never will be. He urges all who read his words to communicate with their loved ones now and after their passing. He teaches all of us about Colours and Energy, Angels and the God-Force/God-Self within each one of us. Laced within each chapter is a journal quote from Jason and Nicole's Mother Diane.

Passing through Time is for all ages, all beliefs, and especially for all those who know that the love of another who passes never dies.

Below is a Testimonial for Passing through Time - a book about the afterlife by Donna-Lee Wynen, a Mother who lost her child Mitchell early January 2010.

I am a spiritual person with great belief that things happen in life for a reason, life lessons, growth and evolvement!
After the recent death of our son Mitchell, only 18, in a car accident, I have experienced his passing like no other, right from the time of his death I have felt very clear, my feelings quite different to the path of grief that people usually follow. I have been perceived by others as to strong, that my failing would come, observers and so called friends convinced that I will crash and burn and fall into a pit of despair!

Why was I handling things in my stride so full of strength, knowing and love I would ask myself... I questioned my heartfelt inner knowing.. because society says you must grieve this way or you will fall!
I spoke with a friend who sent me this book, called Passing through Time, on reading the first few pages I felt at peace that my path of 'not the norm' was as it should be. I knew Mitchell was fine, but as I read on I just knew truthfully that he was on his way in another dimension. I knew he is always around, but reading this was reassuring my knowing.

I have shared this book with numerous others who have been touched by death and everyone thus far has found it helpful in their grief and understanding. After all everything is a choice in life and what we choose to do and how we choose to grieve is up to us.
I truly recommend this book to anyone that has lost someone in their lives or knows of someone that has lost someone. Try it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Love Light Hugs
