I Haven’t Been Writing Because I’ve Been Writing
I have been a bit slack at keeping in touch lately and my blog has suffered. I haven’t been writing my blog because I am writing my next book. There is a strong sense of serendipity about this book. I feel energy being summoned right now, as I gather the right vibration for the next stage of writing. This book feels like a collaboration with something greater than myself.
Many years ago, when I was in my twenties, I was standing in a Centrelink line (for those of you overseas, this is Australia’s social welfare organisation) waiting to be served. A very eccentric older man, who appeared to be leaving the office, suddenly stopped in front of me and announced, ‘You’re going to write a book!’ I stood there dumbfounded and looked around to double-check he was, in fact, talking to me. The man took full advantage of my stunned silence by continuing to describe this mysterious book of mine. After suggesting two possible titles, he promptly turned to exit, as though nothing had happened. The other people in the line all looked around, as if seeking some kind of explanation. I simply shrugged. There were a lot of flamboyant people in this particular town and so, the outburst was quickly accepted and presumably forgotten by the onlookers.
At the time, I was completing my qualification to become an outdoor adventure guide but this wasn’t my passion. My passion was my yoga and meditation practice and the spiritual growth that nature incites. I devoted myself to these practices and to the exploration of spiritual growth. Obsessed with reading spiritual texts, I devoured as many as I could.
Strangely, I often fantasised about being interviewed about my own spiritual self-help book, except that I was not writing a book nor did I have any immediate plans to actually write one. This was simply a fantasy. It never occurred to me to question why I was having such a fantasy, that is, until the ‘oracle’ approached me in the Centrelink line.
After the man had left, I stood there utterly perplexed. While I no longer remember the suggested titles he gave me, I do remember what those titles indicated. Both titles described spiritual self-help books. Both were about life in general. My fantasy at the time involved a spiritual self-help book that was about life in general. How could this man have possibly known this? It existed within me, only as a fantasy; a fantasy that I hadn’t shared with a single soul.
Nearly two decades later, I published a book. It is called ‘Finding the One- a Practical Guide to Manifesting Your Soul Mate.’ It is very niche. While the philosophies underpinning the fabric of this book are helpful for life in general, they are, nonetheless, applied to the area of romantic love, not general spirituality. This is the book I had been seeking when I was hoping to manifest my soul mate relationship. It is nourishing, uplifting, positive and imbued with the very energy vibration required to magnetise your ideal partner.
I was listening to Eckhart Tolle recently and he described some curious coincidences that led him to choose a new name. I won’t go into the details but one such coincidence involved a town filled with eccentric people, one of whom approached him and referred to him as ‘Eckhart,’ only to immediately apologise and say ‘I don’t know why I called you that.’ As I heard Eckhart recount this story, it sparked the memory of the oracle in the Centrelink office which is when I realised that I am, in fact, writing a book in the genre this man had suggested. I was blown away! The seemingly loopy man in Centrelink actually predicted this almost two decades earlier. How? Why? Perhaps I will never know. All I do know is that there is a strong sense of destiny here.
It is my hope that this new book will strip away layers of negative energy, the false layers that distract you from the truth of all that you are. As you read this book, you will come to know deeply how truly magnificent you are. The words are designed to connect you with the intelligent benevolence of the universe, of which you are a part, from which you are inseparable, that adores you absolutely and without exception. Upon reading, you will know this, not only intellectually but at a deep feeling level, with every fibre of your being. I am enjoying writing this book very much. There is a powerful surge of energy coming forth to bring you something very special and I am excited to share it with you! When it is finished. Therefore, I make no apologies for my lack of blogging. Many blessings beautiful souls.
