Are you seeking to become aware of why you are living? What is the purpose for your life? And what are you moving towards? Do you seek to understand why there is so much suffering in the world? So much poverty, fear & strife?
Is death the end? Do you suffer anxiety & fear for your future survival, in aloneness, neglect – or ill health?
So many questions! You may say: ‘we only have one life & that is about survival at the cost of others!’ But let us ponder upon these questions, & consider the positive aspect & realisation that life does have a greater purpose, - & this relates to the nature of unconditional love & inner growth.
There is hope to resolve these difficulties - & the answer lies within the heart; that life is infinite in its potential to find joy, peace & harmony, & a deeper personal fulfilment!
The true spiritual life is not about religion or dogma, fear or condemnation. Spirituality is about treating all those we meet in a loving, sacred & respectful manner - & be willing to share unconditional love with others in honesty truth & good will.
Trust in the universe & its benevolent nature, & allow forgiveness of the heart to blossom, as you let go of any anger for the rejection, fear & pain others have brought to you; & remember, nature & time are the greatest of healers! Love, even more so!
Blessings, Mandel

“The Great Mother, sitting before Her loom, spins the Wheel of Time and weaves the patterns of All That Is. We are included in Her weavings!
I don’t speak much about my past but it was dysfunctional at the best of times. Surely I am damaged goods. But I truly believe me and my life isn’t defined by what it was. This is why I, like you, strive to become better, to heal, and to overcome. We are much different people than we were 10 or 20 years ago; & this, too, is woven in the patterns of Her weave. Forward ever, backwards NEVER!
I do know that Capitalism without practical checks & balances can easily be worse than Communism! Anything that places itself before life is evil, wicked & unacceptable!!! Whether it is money, property, art, or even knowledge, NOTHING should be given a greater value than life (quality life).
I really like Carol’s poem “Spiritual Love”. The world would be a much better place if we could get everyone to understand this... “To offer YOUR light, as a gift to all others,” ... An acquaintance has copied it & sent it to his daughter. He, like me, loves it; & his daughter is learning to love life & rebel against anti-life systems & sentiments. We are hoping to guide her into a deeper compassion & larger world view. Her battle right now is, sadly, normal for Americans; money over all else. Though you wrote it in 2004, the message is eternal & applicable right now. Thank you.
Mandel you wrote for me a poem called: “She just Whispers”. (Excerpt given:) “We of the Light ever enfold you in our wings of glorious hue; of that coming of our ancient setting solar radiance & wisdom, which to you unfolds!”
Your poems seem to take on deeper meanings the more I read. And this particular piece is quickly becoming something like a MANTRA to me. I find that it helps me manage stressful situations better, i.e. it has ingrained itself in my mind & WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT I FEEL A WARM PEACE ENVELOP ME!
I pray this note finds you shining as bright as ever. Be you well & keep up the glorious works you do. You are ever in my & my mother’s prayers & positive energy works. YES, LOVE BLOSSOMS – NO MATTER WHAT!! Blessings be ever yours!!! John.”
