Religious Tolerance

It is such a shame that the country of America is going through a phase of religious turmoil with regard to the Muslim community and their building of a mosque near to where the events of 2001 occurred. The land of the free, as it is known, is free no more. The country of America – always known for its religious tolerance – is now in turmoil as factions of society denounce the Muslim faith and its people. As with every religion there are factions that break away and turn against what they once believed in. In the Christian faith this is represented by the many different churches and ways of worship. Nothing, though, has been as vehement as the attack against the Muslims and their faith.

Millions upon millions of Muslims decry what a few people in their faith do in bombing, killing, and other such atrocities. The God of that minority is the God of hate and resembles nothing of the true God. The majority of those who follow Mohammed revere this energy so highly that they would never dream of doing anything which would cause offense or hurt to this energy. They live a simple life most of the time and are at peace in their faith. Look into the eyes of a woman in a burka and you will see the eyes of a woman at peace. Yes, they have a mosque instead of a church and pray on the ground instead of in pews, but they worship just like the majority of Christians – with reverence for God.

It is sad to see the events taking place at this time in the USA, but it is the fear within those who are not Muslim that is creating the situation. As I stated previously, the land of the free is free no more. What a shame and what a waste of energy all of the hatred and anger is. What could those people do constructively with the energy they are wasting in doing that? I do not support any faith or religion, for that is the choice of each human being. If one chooses to worship within a faith or belief, they should be allowed to do so with love – not with hatred, violence, and fear. Perhaps one day humanity will see its actions and this will be no more. Fear will no longer be an issue with humanity.

The Way Things Were – Continued

It would be a few more years before I became metaphysical. I had gone through being a Christian and had left that faith after an employer treated me abominably, calling me all sorts of terrible names when I first arrived in Australia from England. At my local church he was looked upon as a “True Christian” and basically revered because of his financial donations to the church. Here was this man who spoke to me in such a derogatory way being feted by my local vicar. It really sickened me and, for some reason, turned me right away from my Christian belief. Of course, I realize now that it was meant to be, and so should thank him for that, for he enabled me to move on in my life. But I did not know that at the time.

Later I had also been a Bahai and had left that beautiful faith because they had no belief in reincarnation, which I believed in so much. I was without a faith and then I tested myself severely by going through what I would term was the darkest time in my entire life. Why would God do this to me? What had I done to deserve this? Of course, I did not know at the time I had done this to myself. Had I not been warned about taking on extra expense before moving into the new house? I should have said something to my husband, but I did not. We could have even taken the car back after one month’s trial, but we did not. Everything would be alright was my thinking. I was wrong. I was so in the belief that God was punishing me for something. What, I did not know, but it was a very despairing time of challenge and darkness. I baked pies, bread, and cakes and sold them at the local shop. We only had one shop in the small village we lived in and they sold very well.

Writing a Blog – Final Words

Once again the two hours have gone by very fast. Actually, it was over two hours because I have written 8 blogs to take me to the end of the month of March. I cheated also because I took a break to make a lamb casserole and a shepherd’s pie and then came back to it. I have just had a look at my computing book and am so excited to be able to understand the way it is written. My granddaughter, who is 11, has been using a computer since she was 5 when she used to play the Barbie game on line. She is so computer literate. I often wonder what technology will be like when she is my age. I wonder too if blogs will be in vogue then.

I recently started doing a video blog and I love doing that each week. I spoke to a few people about stopping writing this blog and just doing the video blog. I will not tell you what was said, just that, if the words had been physical I would have been in hospital LOL! I love doing this blog though despite the time it takes to write and post it. We are very lucky in the USA to have freedom of speech and to not be censured for writing or speaking about important things. There are countries in the world where one can be imprisoned for speaking out or writing words which go against the law or ruling government rules. I do know that I will continue to write this blog despite being threatened with legal action and people from the Christian community wanting to kill me. Many say that Maitreya, my teacher, is the “anti-Christ” but one only has to read his words he wrote himself over the years – words of truth, love, and understanding on nearly every subject topical today – to know and see that he is not that at all. However, he himself coined the phrase “Every man has his own truth,” and on that note I will close this blog, because this is my truth!!

Writing A Blog – Continued

As I became more confident at channeling Maitreya and, after the UN channeling in 1999, Maitreya told me that I was to change the name of the teachings to newsletters, and I did so. People say they can see a difference in the two forms of communication – teachings and newsletters; I have never really taken any notice. I just do the writing – that is enough for me. He also told me at that time that I was to write my own newsletter profiling my life and every day adventures. He told me to keep nothing hidden, and I am glad he did that because, as I wrote about myself and others, I learned a great deal about myself and about life itself which helped me enormously to see things I could not see before.

I was still getting the e-mail from the Christian community, but by now the e-mail was being vetted by my ex-husband. It is still vetted (by someone else) to this day if it comes into the website. I no longer receive e-mail directly; it all goes through a filter, i.e., a real person, herself a former Christian. She is always so appalled at the hate e-mail which comes into the website.

Recently I applied for US citizenship, and one of the questions on the form was, “What is one of the rights of being an American citizen?” One of the rights is the freedom of speech. I was so glad to read that because I know that I am doing nothing wrong in writing my blog and being free in my speech. There is also another right which is freedom of religion, meaning that one can have a religion or not, and again I am thrilled about that. Maitreya has always said, “People will be led and guided to a faith if they are meant to have one, sometimes to learn, sometimes as karma, sometimes as a past-life issue.” But there is nothing which states that one has to have a religion. It is a choice, and Maitreya has stated this since I have known him.

Writing A Blog – Continued

In the beginning I wrote teachings, and I remember in the beginning I was terrified! At that time I would often sit at the computer and I would “feel” the need to write. Once I did begin writing; my fingers would fly over the keys so fast. My ex-husband was so impressed at my doing this – as is Alan, because there are no mistakes – that I do not have to stop to change a spelling most of the time. However, I have to be in the right frame of mind to do it.

I have to actually have a feeling to do it. I was terrified in the beginning because, what if I wrote something that was not true, or someone complained about what I wrote? I was right on the last issue; boy, did I get hate mail and terrible e-mail from the Christian community. These spiritual people would write me threatening me with death and the direst circumstances if I kept writing. I received a regular postcard sent from Western Australia (I was living in New Zealand then) with a huge Saturn and Jupiter sign on it (I never found out why) with writing on it telling me that the person was the only channel of Maitreya, to stop writing the teachings, and to close down the website “Or Maitreya will visit you personally and kill you” – or words similar. The first time it happened I was questioning my channeling work (both spoken and written), and it almost made me give it up, to be honest. I did not, however, give it away and, as the years passed, the communications continued until I went to Western Australia to do a Mind-Body-Spirit show in 2002. In a workshop I gave, someone came to tell me that a person was outside the door pacing up and down and saying incantations. I knew it was my postcard person and that whatever they were doing did not work. Shortly after that the postcards stopped altogether.
