Norfolk was mainly farm land. Very flat and picturesque, with landscapes that seemed to go on forever.
My Father worked very hard to put food on the table, and although we did not have much money we made do with what we had.
As my dear Grandmother used to say, “ We improvised”.
Life back then was challenging, but it was wonderful too. We had a family closeness that is somewhat lacking in today’s societies. Back then we could leave the house with the door wide open without any fears. Crime was not an issue in those days, and we were brought up with manners and to respect our elders.
So different to today!
Being young and living in the country was a privilege. The slowness of life, the safety of your neighborhood and the magical wildlife are all benefits that strengthen character.
My Father got promoted and we had to move to Nottingham in 1971. It was a sad day when we left, to look out of the rear window of the car to see our neighbors in tears, and then to turn and see my Mother weeping also was difficult for a young man to witness.
Nevertheless, to me the City was exciting. So much to do, many places to see - most of my favorite years were spent living here in Nottinghamshire, and I have gained memories that I will never forget. It is here where I got married and here where I had my two sons.
It was in 1989, shortly before my Father’s untimely death, that I first got involved in Spiritualism. In fact, the lessons that I learnt gave me hope as the belief that there is something there when we die gave me great comfort, and helped me deal with losing my Father a couple of years later.
As the years went by my abilities as being a medium improved greatly, and my meditations became deeper and more and more profound. It was one day, during meditation, that I started to receive the messages that would form the basis of this book.
I was told that I would become a philosopher, and I would one day write a book that would offer the answers to life’s basic questions. It would offer hope and the tools needed to become a better person.
So, this book is my gift to you!
It is this message on how we can all make our lives better through enlightenment, open mindedness and positive thinking. It also offers the faith and belief that there is something better out there, something that is our real home - our destiny to greatness and perfection.
Life here on Earth can be glorious, but it can also be a challenge.
No matter what your circumstances are, no matter what victories or defeats you have faced, to be able to be in the possession of this glorious truth is a true blessing.
It is the glorious truth and this blessing that I now impart onto you. Take the words, take the lessons and try to make you and your life better, because if you do so you will also light up the lives of those around you.
Spread the word and pass on the truth.
May the powers of the Universe be with you every day of your life – and indeed all of your lives……….view less
