Debbie's second article QUANTUM PHYSICS SUPPORTS SPIRITUALITY has just been uploaded and is highly recommended; Debbie has provided an in-depth study of "science meets spirit", covering subjects such as reincarnation, the soul, and quantum consciousness as an interconnected network, all seen through the eyes of notable scientists of our time.

 

Di Atherton

We all know and love Di, the original founder and nurturer for many years, of the Circle of Light.  Di started the COL in September 2002 at a time when "alternative" interests and holistic living were not part of the mainstream in the Lowveld.  After initial concerns about being run out of town, Di forged ahead and organised many holistic fairs,workshops and COL breakfasts; she established a far-reaching directory of therapists and services, and launched the Circle of Light Link-Up magazine. Through Di's efforts the COL mailing list now exceeds 500 and extends to Maputo, Swaziland, Middelburg and other areas north and south of the Lowveld. As well as all this Di is an accredited Reiki Master who teaches regular Reiki 1 and 2 classes. Her passion is empowering people, particularly women and the youth, and she developed a one day empowerment workshop The Power Within, which has been run in the rural communities as well as for the Government and corporate business. She developed a Youth Leadership Course for learners in rural schools and is a motivational speaker. Her current project is Woman Inc, with Alex Asman, which focuses on bringing the fun and play back into womens lives.

Di will be submitting her "monthly musings" for publication here; most of us are familiar with Di's insightful observations and humour and it's wonderful to have them on our website too!

Welcome to Light-Notes September 2010

 

It is a time of renewal and at a deep level we feel it and we revel in it, and we ponder on the mystery that is behind this creative process.  Lately the concept of “consciousness creating and expressing itself” has simply been leaping out at me from film material, other selected media, books and conversations.

Chancing upon a beautiful book in a second hand bookstore – Seth’s “Dreams, Evolution & Value Fulfillment” -and glancing through it , my attention focused upon a couple of passages which speak of this continual expression of 'units of consciousness'; units of the All That Is, as Seth refers to God.  Funnily enough the material in this 'old' book (1986) is exactly what our scientists are starting to recognise and talk about:

– 'The universe is the natural extension of divine creativity and intent, lovingly formed from the inside out – so there was consciousness before there was matter, not the other way around.' 

In Amit Goswami’s Quantum Physicist this indeed was the essence of his theory, and we see science gradually opening up to this concept.  Spirit preceded matter – did we really think it was the other way around?  and did we really have the arrogance to think we were the only beings with 'consciousness,' and therefore superior to other beings?  One has to smile, as it seems that we humans do like to see ourselves as the special ones.

Marvelling at the “All that Is” in my spring garden I am very aware of the generosity of this creative spirit, a Grace-full spirit that extends itself through every living thing.
