God! Help Me!!

That was my prayer!! God! Help Me! I prayed a lot. A LOT!! I prayed to get out of a rut in my spiritual life, a stagnancy which felt like it was beginning to rot. Something was not happening in a corner of my life which was impacting the rest of my life. I did'nt quite know what that was. I needed help. I just did'nt know how to get it, so I prayed. I cried, I screamed at God, I put away all of my "spiritual" stuff and decided I was done. I sulked and got terribly annoyed. Is'nt it strange how we treat God when we are in a deep crisis? We treat Him exactly as we treat ourselves.  My spiritual life was becoming as dry as a desert and I was croaking in thirst.

Out of the blue, very recently, a chance meeting with a facebook friend in my city, Delhi, suddenly changed all of that. 

So, this is my new blog signifying new beginnings.

To be continued......

With Love, Lavina Olive xo

People outside of Gillette cannot understand this connection, but it definitely is a divine one. It is the best way I can put it. We all have a  "Slice of Heaven"  experience at some point in time in our lives. I have had a few, but at this moment in time, Gillette stands out that is worth mentioning for obvious re...

Nothing Has Meaning

"Nothing has any meaning in this world, unless I give it meaning"  is a summary of the first two lessons outlined in the Workbook of  A Course in Miracles.  Some years ago when I read the above lines for the first few times (many, actually!) they appeared mundane and almost boring to me because it was too inconvenient for me to accept. They appeared dry and so matter-of-fact that it took me many years to actually develop an interest enough to read A Course In Miracles  with the intent to transform my mind. So, ideas like nothing has any meaning in this world till I give it meaning appeared preposterous! How is that even possible??  Like everyone, I believed everything I was taught from infant to present about the validity and existence of a world that appeared totally real to me. Unfortunately, this is not so at all. When I started applying these words to all the challenges in my life, I was actually surprised at how my ideas and perceptions b...
