Very early this morning I woke with this vision.
A man and I were standing at the edge of a lake in a gap between two walls. The gap was probably 30 feet wide. The lake was at the bottom of a steep hill, with the first wall running along the base of the hill, higher than both our heads, away from me into the distance. It undulated across the bottom of the hill. It was made of red bricks. It did not look very strong but I knew it was, or had been. The other wall went away to my right. I could not see the end of either, I think. The level of the water was very low, far lower than the base of the wall, and the water was very still. Thinking about it afterwards I realised that the height of the 'man-made' wall was the height of faith in the past, where the marks of the water showed where it had lapped at the top. Every brick was made by faith, and the colour, the red, represented both strength and the blood of people who had died for their beliefs.
I asked the man what he was showing me and he answered
“We protect the faithfull”.
We protect the faithful? I thought about it, and then realised he meant faith-filled. Faith is a choice and an emotion, symbolized by the water in the lake .. which was very low. How do we fill the lake of our faith? What do we have to do to restore God/Spirit to its place of glory in our lives? We have lost the thread, the plot, if you like. We have lost God in the man-made religions we have created to satisfy our ego, and fill in the gaps in our lives – or worse, we have thrown God away because it does not do what we want when we want it, ‘fulfilling’ our wishes.
While I was thinking this through I saw more of the vision. There were floating entities, like balloons, over the lake. They dipped to the water, filled themselves full – and vanished. The positive energy of the lake that they were so drawn to eliminated them. They were negative thought forms that humans create every day. They are drawn to human energy, the energy of faith in the ‘lake’. It was a lovely scene until I realised that they were actually draining more from the lake and giving nothing in return.
We take from God/Spirit every day in every way because we are created from the energy of God and we often give nothing in return for the bounty. Not even a thank you.
What do you do for others that you are also doing for God?

Is God a Potato?
.
Ok, so its a strange question. It actually arose from a conversation Tom and I were having about dinner. I was suggesting we abandon carbs for a week or two and he decided that he actually worships potatoes. Please somebody do not take it seriously, but it did bring some interesting thoughts to mind.
Think of a potato.
It is covered in eyes - hence can see everywhere.
It grows in the dirt that we smother it with ... hmm ... so do mushrooms and you know the old joke about them. Let's face it, we feed God 'fertilizer' every time we deny or break the rule, you know, the simple one - love one another. The one the preacher, minister, angels, archangels, ascended masters etc etc remind us about. Now who is the potato?
We bury our heads (potatoes have small 'heads' on them when they are sprouting) in the same dirt we are dumping on God and other people through our lack of trust and sad attitudes. At least God the potato is springing new growth from His? What are we doing?
Back to God the potato - it provides nourishment .. physical in the potato aspect, and spiritual in the Other, regardless of how we treat it. How many people have found potatoes growing out of their rubbish pits?
And then there is the old understanding - that everything is God and created by God and of God, so yes, of course God is a potato.
Hmm... something to think about.

I love you
There was a book I read a few years ago, a part of which surprised me very much. It was only one chapter. the title was 'what God wants from you', or something like that. What God wants. The pages of the chapter were totally blank, and as I looked through each wondering at the 'revelation' I realised just how wrong the totally blank pages were .. to me they said 'God wants nothing from me' .. but that is not true. Even if God truly does only observe humanity and not interfere, God loves us .. loves us profoundly .. loves us deeply .. and allows us to 'be' all the small nasty people we can be, all the great and glorious we are equally capable of being. And asks only one thing 'Love as I Love you'.
God loves unconditionally - 'he' proves that every day. He gave us free will, that means that we can ignore him, invoke him, scream at him, lie to him, pretend he doesn't exist .. even when we then ask a friend to 'pray for us' so that we can achieve our dreams, rant at him, rage at him, worship him, beg for things, ask for things, kill ourselves and each other, ruin our environment, kill all his other creations, ignore his good works and the people trying to achieve them - regardless of our behaviour; what else can I add to the this? I'm sure you can think of a few things.
And if you look in your heart and soul you will find his message there ..
"Love child, be simply love, child,
Be what you will be,
what you are, child .. simply Love Child,
Know your true nature,
God in creation, part of the whole self,
Part of the truth, child,
Be simply Love,
Child ..."
Song of Creation .. sung for the children of 'man' (humanity).

Conversation
Words, and their power, should never be underestimated.
God and I in space alone and nobody else in view.
"And where are the people, O Lord," I said,
"the earth below and the sky o'er head
and the dead whom once I knew?"
"That was a dream," God smiled and said,
"A dream that seemed to be true.
There were no people, living or dead,
there was no earth, and no sky o'er head;
there was only Myself -- in you."
(fragment)
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others
than you can by what others say about him.

The Last Song
What is the last song you want to be heard singing? The one that expresses the joy in your heart, or the one that sings of your sorrow? I often get 'brain-runners', you know - when the music won't go away, and that same song, or track of thought, goes around and around until you get very tired of it, and are prepared to do pretty much anything to 'change tune'.
Does it really matter if you sing out of tune? You might not do well in a band, but in a choir of like-minded people, you could add a 'happy noise', just as everyone else is doing as they think their daily thoughts, and express their feelings through their own personal music and words. Even a bumble bee makes music that pleases 'Spirit', for it is expressing its true self through the waves of energy that it produces with each movement. And that is what we do - express the waves of our true selves through our thoughts, feelings and actions.
When was the last time you asked for help from 'upstairs' for a problem? Do you do it regularly - or is it the last place you would look for help on any problem? Making it the 'first' place can be a useful solution - you will be amazed with the number of opportunities that come from asking for help.
Now if you are a formal person, you can try a little prayer. You know the type - getting down on your knees and 'begging' for it - but if you want to change the 'tune' a little, how about standing in the sunshine, or the rain, and just directing your thoughts 'upwards' or 'outwards' wherever you think God/Spirit might be. You'll find an aspect of your angels and guides beside you at all times, listening and waiting to help with requests. When you decide to connect to them, to work with them and to ask for help, they leap willingly into every challenge and act with Joy - a little of which will rub off on you, if you allow it.
I was going to write to you about the power of prayer to change our lives, but I think I really should be writing about dancing. Dancing is not that formal stuff we do in ballroom, or the gyrating that our kids get up to. It is the movement we make in our daily lives that leads to all our experiences. We dance, or our energy does, up and down through our chakras, threading in and out through our middles, and weaving patterns in the air that we can 'read' and sense - our auric fields. When these get clogged or cloudy, we feel clogged and cloudy. A little gentle raking (running your fingers down the energy about 3 inches away from your body, back, front, above your head and beneath your feet) can help alleviate the problem, but not remove it entirely, for it is created by our thoughts and emotions, and needs a little more focussed cleaning from time to time. When your energy is clogged, and bogged and you feel down and out, then a more serious healing might be necessary, but a little Reiki once in a while is enough to keep the energy moving.
Why do I talk about Reiki and auras - because they, too, produce their own music, and it is this music that can make your heart dance, and bring Joy back into your step. When you are feeling sick you go to a doctor, and that can be very wise, but it can be equally wise to add a touch of Spiritual Healing to your choices - for it works on the mind, body and Spiritual levels of each person, and that can help, no matter what the problems may be.
Back to dancing, back to music - when was the last time you sang in the shower? When was the last time you imagined that the water was 'washing through you', rather than over you. Use your imagination - allow the water to wash 'through your energy' and lighten the load you carry. Do this each morning and by the end of the week, you might find you feel a little lighter. Take a moment to do this when you wash your hair - it won't take any more time than that normal activity - but choose to do the cleansing daily - you want to feel that full benefit. When you are ready change happens, and you find yourself feeling lighter and brighter. It is really up to you.
Let your last song be the first song of each morning, giving thanks and glory to Spirit for your life, every moment of it.
Love & Light,

On the journey with Spirit
It’s the little things that make a huge difference.
When I began this journey with Spirit I was very young and uncertain of myself, and now a little older I think I better understand what they are wanting of me, and I learned that by learning about myself. Today I am making soup, it’s a process of putting together a differing number of ingredients to get the sorts of flavours, the harmony of essence, that you like and are willing to share with others. It is our own personal harmony of essence that we share with each other when we meet daily, in person, on the phone, or on the internet through emails and chat programs. The harmony of our essence is expressed through the human aura, the energy field that surrounds each of us which interacts with every other person we meet. We call how we feel about someone ‘intuition’ and instinct and empathy, or just ‘knowing’ if they are right for us – to be friend or lover, just an acquaintance, or even someone we do not want to meet again. The harmony of the person’s energy can be a factor in the sort of relationship you will develop with them, and develop they do, through physical contact and all levels of communication. It is little things like body language, the sound of the voice, word patterns and vocabulary, and physical characteristics that attract people to each other even before we look at the more metaphysical influences such as past life relationships, and the frequency of their auric field. And why does it matter? Because Spirit asks us to love one another. They do not mean the physical sort of love that demands so much of our time and attention; they mean a commitment from ourselves to every living person to allow them to be whomever they, good or bad, whether they behave in ways we accept or not. They ask that we love unconditionally in a time when war seems to be spreading across the world, no matter how hard we try, or not, to stop it.
What does it mean to love unconditionally? It means to find within ourselves the gift of freedom that was bestowed upon us all at the coming of the Christ energy into the world and
share it with others. The door to our hearts was opened wide and new ways and new wisdom has been flowing in ever since. In connecting to this new wisdom, and accepting the responsibility it brings, we are once again the Children of God we have always been, lost in shadows, now redeemed.
I can hear my friends groaning and saying ‘Ama has gone biblical again’ .. well yes, God and Spirit (Holy Spirit for the more Christian folks) are the same being. We are all being asked for the same commitment, no matter what our belief systems are, no matter which ‘religion’ we follow. Love is the foundation and core of every message we receive from God/Spirit through our own hearts and the words of others. Love is the beginning, the ending and the whole middle of change ... and when you are unhappy change is what you are searching for. Begin with Spirit, for there you are truly Loved! Love one another. Start with yourself. Let your heart be free!
