On Easter weekend 2020 our small town was filled with tension as the government placed restrictions on the activities of daily living. Many people had stopped going out to work, shop, or exercise. They holed up in their homes, venturing out only for walks and a little fresh air. People didn’t know what to do. What was safe? What was kind to others?

I enjoy connecting with people in a store or on the street to share a smile, a joke, or an uplifting story, and most important, a little love. How could I reach out to people when everyone nervously stayed at arm’s length? One approach bubbled up spontaneously and blossomed over time.

Working in the Disability Services field, I would usually associate IQ with a person’s mental and functional ability to live their life as independently as possible. It wasn’t until I started using spiritual techniques such as chanting mantras, contemplating, and practicing mindfulness, that I could see a direct correlation between spiritual IQ and my ability to live in harmony and balance with the Infinite.

Daily practices like this certainly help me to live more graciously, but also to be awake to life’s synchronicities and guidance through waking dreams.

“What is life? Is life the seeds of grass, drifting aimlessly, at times multiplying then dying, while at other times being swept into the vast expanse of the heavens?”

—Inspired by various passages in the chapter “What is Life” in the book Dialogues with the Master by Paul Twitchell, 1983 edition.

It is early December in beautiful rural Vermont. The snow is already a foot deep, and today the sky is cloudless—a vibrant blue. Veronica is meditating on this scene from her picture window. Suddenly, she watches as a Cardinal, flying full speed toward her house, crashes into the “invisible” glass barrier. Veronica gasps as she observes it drop, a lifeless, crimson splotch—like a blood stain—in the expanse of pure, sparkling snow. She is distraught and seeks a meaning.

Love comes in many flavors, and you never quite know when it might show up. I was learning how to give love but receiving it was more of a challenge. A “sticky” encounter one weekend in Ashland, Oregon, left me with a deeper insight about the gift of receiving.

Introduction

In the second part of this topic on Exploring Reincarnation, which is the name of a book by Hans Tendam, we will continue a review of his insights, with a shift of focus to the subject of karma. The Introduction in Part 1 explains more about the author, and why his book provides many valuable insights on karma and reincarnation. His extensive research coupled with his expertise in past life therapy enables him to provide many evidence-based conclusions on these subjects. I will continue the style of Part 1 by using a question-and-answer format.

Introduction

This article reviews some of the fascinating research documented in the book Exploring Reincarnation by Hans Tendam. The book stands out among others of the genre in several ways. Tendam starts with the observation that, at the time he was writing (1987), there were already over 10,000 recorded instances of reincarnation experiences. He decided there was sufficient material to take an evidence-based approach to the subject.

Using Dream Tools to Interpret Outer Events

The home of a woman named Ann abuts a wilderness area. She is used to wildlife. But even she was startled when, one balmy afternoon, while she was enjoying a tall glass of iced tea in her garden, she looked up in time to watch a mature bald eagle land on a tree branch not ten feet away from where she was sitting.

At first she was stunned; she was rendered breathless; she couldn’t believe her eyes. But, by the time she contacted me for another perspective, she had become the opposite: unable to stop her nearly manic chatter.

“I know it’s a sign!” she bubbled.

Since I was a teenager, I have always had a special place in my heart for Saint Francis of Assisi. This year I finally managed to make a pilgrimage to his home town of Assisi from Australia. The highlight of my trip was both unplanned and unexpected.

Waking Dreams frequently arise from our immediate surroundings, triggered by unusual events unfolding around us. In these moments, we become aware that these occurrences may hold a message akin to those found in dreams, open to interpretation.

Yet, at times, Waking Dreams intrude directly into our thoughts, seemingly emerging out of thin air, accompanied by a compelling sense that the Universe has just dispatched a message our way. This piece revolves around one such unexpected morning message, delivered in a manner that combines significance with a touch of humor.
