VOLUME 1 | THE ADDRESSES
VOLUME 2 | THE MEDITATIONS The Spirit of Mary The spirit of Mary is timeless, an eternal spirit, that can enlarge our being, enlarge our experience and make us able to respond in any situation. Over and over again, there are the seemingly unchangeable situations. These stuck situations call for a new response. The spirit of Mary assists you to be aware of the abilities that you have developed that may have been lying dormant in the background and to see that there is more to you than what your mind knows about. The Song of the Angels You are not satisfied with the views of life that you have previously held. You think that there is more to life than what you already know about. This is the spirit that constantly works to lift you into another realm. It relates to the whole universe. It knows who you are, and why you are here and reminds you to continue on against all odds. It is not satisfied until all of your assigned work has been accomplished. Decision Time Each time you make a decision to act honourably there is a release of energy. Every act of love you make is accompanied by a renewal of vitality. On every occasion when you live with honour or live with love you are becoming unified within yourself, you are becoming whole. Life Without Reservations The quiet soul responds to whatever speaks of the reality of life. The quiet soul, the soul that is free of concern about the meaning of life, the soul that does not strive to solve the mysteries of life in a brief moment of time, the soul that is not threatened by the storm clouds, that is not compressed by fear … Is there such a soul in this world? Is it possible to be still and to comprehend what is real? Healer of Souls Know that in the darkest moment when all your efforts have failed, when all strength has gone, all is definitely not lost. Know that something extra has been given to you. Not an ordinary reality, but nevertheless, a reality. In the Light In your everyday life you meet all kinds of people. Some are sensitive, flexible, receptive. You are in the presence of a heart of flesh. Others argue, fight, harden themselves. You may be in the presence of a heart of stone. Many people in this situation have felt a sense of defeat. And defeat has turned into despair. Your mind may wonder whether you are fated to always be this way. But there is a reality that brings light into our being and causes a sensitive, thoughtful heart to be the very centre of our being. Being Still Stillness is a requirement for good living, a pre-requisite for developing a genuinely new idea, a precursor to the creation of a fresh outlook on life, a beginning of new solutions to problems of living.
