When I asked myself what I want to do this month in relation to this Theme, I immediately recalled an aphorism I find most uplifting and inspiring.

"Compress time by learning to laugh at your own folly. Only then will you come to realise that ruthlessness and unconditional love are synonymous."

And so I want to gain more skill in practicing this utterly uplifting Guideline! :) Plus, if the weather goes like this, November here promises to be a most gloomy month, lol, so I need something to balance the gloom! :)

Please enjoy Lady Elizabeth's sharing from the heart!!

My dear friends,

Happy Month! Happy November!

And then around the corner is December! Hard to believe!

October was the most uplifting month, having hosted our annual residential retreat in Varna. It is wise to acknowledge that our retreat theme “Gentle Strength” will continue right through the rest of this year and into next year.

This month our theme of “True love in action” always reminds me of Théun’s resounding words in my head “we teach best what we need to learn the most” or the way he presents it :-

“So when I pointed out to you the importance of "teaching BEST what YOU most NEED to learn," I was pointing you towards HELPING to unfold the ONE PURPOSE! What better way is there to do this than LEARNING to LOVE and LEARNING to BE LOVED? Neither are at all easy to attain.”

Last month in Slovakia I was referred to a doctor who offers bioresonance readings. I was curious to see what this therapy entailed and what it could reveal about my physicality but really had no expectations. I arrived at the doctor's rooms, situated in communist type ex tax offices. This was already colouring my state of being, but I kept an open mind instead, curious as to what would unfold.

The doctor began welcoming me in broken English and his eyes lit up when he heard I come from South Africa. He proudly shared with me that he had just been in South Africa on a hunting trip. My heart sank. I felt the impact immediately because these hunting trips are nothing but life destructive canned hunting trips - and something I abhor.

He then proceeded to whip out his foldable smartphone to show me with great pride the pictures of he and his son posing with their feet upon the carcass of the most beautiful Buffalo I have ever seen ☹️ I had a visceral reaction to these pictures! Two minutes later he asked me to connect my skin electrodes to his machine!!

After I received the results, I tried not to be skeptical because the first thing brought to my attention was the need to check my liver! Lol! I was not surprised at that based on what had transpired just before the test!

In the couple of weeks following this test I have endeavoured not to kill the message as well as the messenger. I'm rather choosing to work with the mirror that he was bringing me.

“Nonetheless, RE-MEMBER that the warrior's way is to UTILISE the folly of his fellow men! How? By LEARNING from that folly! Learning something about the SELF! In this way we SUPPORT the universal Law of Economy, and therefore even the folly of our fellow men becomes, not RUBBISH to be DIS-CARDED, but becomes instead something of VALUE! In this way we DO make a difference in the world around us, and in this way we demonstrate unconditional love in action, rather than turning everything into trash because of the blame game. This is the true meaning of that much maligned and little under-stood word, SACRIFICE! In other words, as warriors we TAKE the folly of ourselves and of others and we TRANSMUTE it into something of VALUE, we make it SACRED by SACRIFICING it!”

My feeling was that he was trying to impress me – a low self-image. Just before this last retreat I had come across some guidance Théun had given me after a very challenging course I had facilitated, and I was post morteming to Théun’s distraction. Lol. On this retreat I chose a life supportive approach with myself and opened myself fully to requesting support.

Have fun with our theme this month, my friends!

With all my love and joy,
