Welcome!

Welcome! I'm glad you found your way here. Spirit guides and ascended masters have been teaching me for over 25 years. It has been an educational, joyous and fulfilling journey. It's time to share it with you.

I am not doing this for fame or financial gain. My aim is solely to serve humanity and the Divine by listening, writing it down, and making it available to guide and inspire you. That is the sum total of my calling and my ambition.

I think there are people who need this. If you like what you see, please spread the word. If you find something you want to share, post a small portion and a link to the blog page from which it came. The URL for the article will pop up in your navigation bar when you click on the title. Cut and paste as needed. Spreading the word is the very best way to thank me and my sources.

There is enough material here to give you a lot to ponder; most of it is timeless. I encourage you to dig into the archives and see what speaks to you today.

Thank you for coming by. Know that the moment you made contact here, love and blessings have started flowing your way, from me, and from my many contacts. Even if you cannot hear them, they can hear you, so speak to them freely and know you are heard and understood. You never know, you just might get a reply!

This Body Is Not Me - Thich Nhat Hanh


This body is not me. I am not limited by this body. I am life without boundaries. I have never been born, and I have never died. Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars, manifestations from my wondrous true mind. Since before time, I have been free. Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey. Birth and death are a game of hide- and seek. So laugh with me, hold my hand, let us say good-bye, say good-bye, to meet again soon. We meet today. We will meet again tomorrow. We will meet at the source every moment. We meet each other in all forms of life.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

  1. I love this poem but I am having a hard time finding the true meaning behind it. What inspired this poem? Was it watching someone who died?

  2. Not being the author, I cannot say what inspired this. I can only offer what it means to me.

    I think if you identify with your soul, that immortal part of you that has been many places and done many things before coming here for this brief sojourn, it all comes into focus. My body is only a kindly container, here to carry me and serve me to the best of its ability. I love and thank my body, but I know it is not me, not the essence of who I really am.

    We come from somewhere else, we enter a body and live here, and then, when our visit is over, we slide out and move on to new adventures, new assignments. We return to the world of spirit, the place from which we came, and our true home. It is a vast and wonderful playground, and we have eternity to explore and learn about it. We are blessed, indeed.

    Love,
    Orea
