SELF: The Final Frontier

To boldly go where few truly venture: inward.

 Since 2008, I’ve lived quietly in a small cottage — peaceful yet often heavy with silence. That solitude has been both my comfort and my teacher. I’ve realised that what I’m truly longing for isn’t just connection with others, but a living communion with God — something felt, not imagined.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
— Eric Butterworth, 1968; Emilie Cady, 1896

The Mirror Within

Lately, I’ve noticed how my outer world mirrors my inner state. My work, relationships, and flow of abundance all seem to reflect my thoughts and beliefs.

“Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind.”
— Charles Fillmore, 1930

If I hold fear or scarcity, life reflects limitation. But when I align with love, gratitude, and purpose, life seems to open in response.

Danielle LaPorte reminds us that our truest goals aren’t about things, but about how we want to feel:

“You’re not chasing the goal itself — you’re chasing the feeling that you hope the goal will give you.”
— Danielle LaPorte, 2012

This perspective has shifted everything for me. When I focus on feeling love, purpose, and freedom, the details of life naturally begin to align.

God as the Infinite Field

I no longer see God as a distant being watching over me, but as an infinite, responsive field — a God Cloud of pure potential.

Quantum thinkers like Dr. Joe Dispenza describe this field as energy that responds to our focus and feeling:

“The quantum field responds not to what we want; it responds to who we are being.”
— Joe Dispenza, 2014

In this view, God is not a judge but a creative field that reacts to the consciousness we bring. When I centre in love and gratitude, the “field” reflects that frequency back as form.

“Life is lived from within out. What you radiate, you attract.”
— Eric Butterworth, 1968

Cher and Bil Holton offer another valuable reminder:

“Question unquestioned answers.”
— Cher & Bil Holton, 2020

By questioning my inherited beliefs, I can become conscious of the mental patterns that shape my experience — and choose new ones that serve love, joy, and growth.

Turning Solitude into Presence

My solitude, once a source of loneliness, is becoming sacred. In silence, I’m learning to meet God within my own heart.

“When you stay connected to the Source, everything that makes you feel separate dissolves.”
— Wayne Dyer, 2004

Louise Hay taught that self-love is the foundation of transformation. Her practice of mirror work continues to guide me:

“The most powerful affirmations are those you say while looking into your own eyes.”
— Louise Hay, 1984

My Daily Compass

These small practices help me return to Presence:

🌿 Morning Affirmation:

“The Presence of God within me is my source of love, wisdom, and joy.”
— Butterworth, 1968

🕊️ Meditation:
Quiet time morning and evening to feel the field of grace.

💗 Mirror Work:

“I love you. You are learning to love life again.”
— Hay, 1984

🔥 Desire Mapping:

“How do I want to feel today?”
— LaPorte, 2012

🌀 Questioning Beliefs:

“Does this thought serve love and joy, or limit me?”
— Cher & Holton, 2020

🌸 Loving Service:

“Prosperity is not what we have, but what we give forth.”
— Butterworth, 1974

Coming Home

I’m learning that purpose is not a job — it’s love in motion.

“Love is not something you do, it’s what you are.”
— Danielle LaPorte, 2012

When I align my thoughts and feelings with divine love, I co-create with the infinite field of potential. Even my quiet cottage becomes a temple of creation and grace.

Isolation, scarcity, and challenge aren’t failures — they are invitations to return to Presence. To radiate love. To remember that the Source is not “out there,” but alive and responsive within me.

Every day, in small ways, I feel it: the quiet stirring of purpose, the gentle return of joy, and the radiant unfolding of life itself.

AS AN ARMY BRAT, I FELT LIKE A NOMAD!

Image
I was born into an Army family, where moving from base to base became a way of life. I learned early how to adapt, make friends quickly, and then let go as we moved again. I discovered how resilience, connection, and the idea of “home” can shift beneath your feet. I also learned how a strong exterior can quietly hide inner unrest, like a mask we wear to hide our real self. I’ve known what it’s like to live with anxiety and fear. My father, though doing his best, found it difficult to express emotions, praise or encouragement, and I grew up seeking approval and validation from him, but mainly from others. That pattern followed me into adulthood, feeling not good enough, sabotaging my own success, and believing I wasn’t truly worthy of love, joy, or happiness. There were times I felt completely out of sync with life, disconnected from myself and others… and it was exhausting. But with the help of caring friends and mentors, I discovered that change was possible — that life could feel lig...

Questioning - The Final Frontier

Image
You’ve read it before, watched the series, and maybe even become a Trekky? I love that iconic moment at the beginning where Captain Kirk says, "to boldly go where no man has gone before."  In 1976, I realized I was on a spiritual path and was keen to get to know me, the real me and to boldly go where I had not gone before in a hurry - within me. Back then, I lived my life by "committee." Whenever issues arose, I sought advice from nearly everyone—family, friends, pseudo-mentors, ministers, acquaintances, and even strangers. Despite all this input, I often felt lost—literally and figuratively. I was unsure of my purpose in life, what I believed in, and why. My confidence was minimal, as was my happiness and joy. The advice I received was varied and often conflicting. This external search for answers rarely yielded anything meaningful or tailored to my needs. Then came an "aha moment." It struck me that the guidance I was receiving wasn’t customized for me—i...
