While I was talking to a group of young
people, the subject of the Findhorn Foundation came up. After listening
to some of my experiences
of the early days when it was just coming into being, and of the wonderful
spirit of creativity, adventure and enthusiasm that existed then, one
of the women exclaimed wistfully, "Where is the Findhorn for our
generation? Where is the place where we can pioneer a new spirit?" However the question is actually
misdirected. For it was not the place that was so wonderful and alive
with possibility, but the people who inhabited it. For in the final analysis, what made... and makes... Findhorn powerful as a spiritual centre is not its garden or its work with nature spirits or its educational programmes, but its focus on discovering and aligning with the God within, the sacredness within each of us and within all things. It was the ability to be quiet and listen to the 'still small voice within' that created Findhorn and that was the greatest and purest lesson and gift it had to offer those who came there. The miracles of vegetation and manifestation were truly wondrous, but in the end, it is the source of the miracles that is most important. Eileen Caddy embodies why the
community came into being in the first place: to be a sign in our
modern age when spirit often
seems so
far removed as to be simply a fantasy, that God is present
in each of us...
an accessible source of belonging, connection and miracles. I have seen her angry,
sad, happy, supportive and questioning. And in the midst
of all the ordinary
feelings and thoughts that belong to a person who lives
a rich, challenging and productive life, I have seen one consistent
truth about her:
she is the one who listens. And when
you are with Eileen,
you can feel her encouraging and supporting you to listen
too, deeper perhaps than you have ever listened before,
to hear that
language
in your own heart and mind and be transformed by it. She brings God
down
to earth for us, and she can bring us down to earth as
well, down
into the
fabric of our lives wherein the still small voice speaks
and works its magic.

TEXT
From: The Magic of Finhorn I am beginning to suspect that everyone at Findhorn in one way or another is exploring God, and Eileen represents the ultimate earthly voyage. She will never turn back now. She is Mary the Mystic. Her knowledge of the esoteric and occult could be written on a spoon. Everything she "knows" comes from contemplative and meditative states in which she hears a voice. Those who have traveled the world mastering exotic and esoteric techniques to heighten awareness come to Findhorn and see a woman who does nothing but "sit and listen." Sit and listen. That might be the hardest one of all. It sounds easy, but it was paid for dearly. According to mystics, when all else is given to God, the mind, unprepared for the Soul's journey, rebels and screams because it is unable to discern between the smaller death and the greater life. The mind goes mad, insane with fear, hate, loathing, and blackness. On the path to mystical awareness, the greatest threat to its emergence is at the threshold. Everything is stripped from the soul. It is engorged by God, and the personality falls into the void, collapses in frustrated and fearful unknowing, to burn in the fires of mutilated hope, despair, and anguish. All is surrendered; anything placed above God is ripped away. The "night" can last a single day or a lifetime. It is over when there is complete surrender, when our "greatness" is but dust before God's feet. *** Eileen Caddy... and her Inner Voice. From: The Spirit of Findhorn Preface EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD we can see violence, poverty, But underneath is a half-hope, seldom consciously expressed,
The Findhorn Community in northern Scotland is based They did not set out to form a community. They simply Living by that faith they found themselves guided to
Findhorn. Eileen and Peter were perfectly suited to work together. The truths that were communicated through Eileen are Introduction FOR MANY YEARS Eileen Caddy (also known as Elixir) has What kind of person is this who can experience such
immediate What emerges from the selected passages of guidance
is These words are not the utterances of an armchair dreamer
but Nothing has ever come easily to Eileen. What she is
now... The joy that sparkles in her eyes and ripples out in
her laughter; When Eileen's words are read quietly and receptively
and, *** What we are concerned with here, is Eileen—a
woman who can hear the Voice of God, not in profound mystic truths,
but in simple, practical, day-to-day directions. The evolution of the
Findhorn Community cannot be explained but for these eminently pragmatic
words. "Everyone may not hear that 'still
small voice' as clearly as I Perhaps the most difficult lesson she [and Peter] had to learn... was that God must be put first in their lives. Before children, before home, before each other... God must come first. Had Eileen not known by this time the Inner Voice guiding, comforting, and encouraging her, she could never have met that supreme challenge. There were times when she almost lost the Voice, times when she would hear it and doubt its truth, times when it was confused among many other voices. But always when she most desperately needed it, it would ring out again in the inner sanctuary. And how often through the years it recalled her to the heights of God's vision for her life, recalled her to the necessity of putting Him before all else. "I need you free, not all tied up
with self and self-concern. I "Let go and simply follow My instructions
step by step, God speaks through her. But He uses her mind on various levels, and therefore the messages are shaped and colored by the nature of her mind and experience. One obvious quality of the messages is their simplicity. They never partake of complex intellectualizing, complicated phraseology, or excess verbiage. The truths are direct and practical, the words simple and concise, and it is this which gives them their universal appeal. The value of simplicity was often stressed by the inner Voice. "The hallmark of truth is simplicity.
It is My hallmark, printed "He does not stop to wonder where
the perfume comes from or how "Why waste time So they stayed! Day after day, week after week. The details of the story are now widely known... how the miraculously fecund garden was gradually established on previously barren ground, how people came one by one to join them, how the buildings and the different departments of the community came into being, all following the specific directions given to Eileen each day in guidance. "Never be satisfied with second
best. Always remember that "What you are doing is far greater than you realize." They gradually came to understand that one day what they were building would have world-wide repercussions, and that they were no less than pioneers of a New Age for mankind. A truly audacious faith to hold at that time! Another truth that was strongly emphasized in their early guidance was that each person, even in the small group, has a special part to play in working out the divine plan for the whole. As far back as 1963 this was made clear to Eileen: "Unity in a group is vitally important.
You each have to learn to This was true even when there were only a dozen in the group. How much more essential and challenging this notion became when there were two hundred people of different races and cultures and backgrounds living together. So often the guidance of early days gained in force and relevance as time went on. As more and more people came to join the
community, the greater was the need for them to share the vision of
Findhorn, to raise their consciousness to that level of positive faith
which Eileen and Peter had had to reach. Everyone had to learn to blend
their differences in unity. "Behold, I make all things new." "And change can be uncomfortable.
Many will try every "Let there be no complacency. For
when you are complacent "Therefore do what
Quotes referring to Those who hear the Inner Voice... "All can hear that still small voice
within." Eileen Caddy, Jesus said, "And now I speak to you in the living tongue of the living God, through the Holy Spirit of our Heavenly Father." Essene Gospel of Peace, Book I, "Without purity, no man can see the Creator; with purity, all men can see Him, and hear Him" Oahspe Bible 689.6 (Blue Oahspe) "You can see and talk to God at any
time, just as you can with father, mother, brother, or friend." "Be still!—and KNOW—I
AM—God. Without thinking, allow this, My Divine
Command, to penetrate deep into your Soul. Yes, I AM you, Your SELF,
that part of you that says I AM and is I AM. "If you find yourself wanting more answers... go inside and ask for those answers. Diana Luppi, E. T. 101 p.7" "God alone knows the mind of a person; and the duty of a man of God, is to act as he is directed by his Inner Voice." Gandhi on Non-Violence "That is why you must choose to hear
one of two voices within you. One you made yourself, and that one is
not of God. But the other is given you by God, Who asks you only to
listen to it." A Course in Miracles p.75 "I am a messenger, delivering the
wisdom of the Himalayan sages of my tradition. My job is to introduce
you to the teacher within." Swami Rama,
Living With the Himalayan Masters p.458 "This book was written to help you to hear the 'still small voice' of God within you, the voice of inner guidance, comfort, love, healing, and wisdom, and to help you tell the difference between that divine voice and other 'voices' (such as those of fear or self-doubt) that you might 'hear' in your mind." Susan Shumsky, Divine Revelation p.24

| GOD SPOKE TO ME Each must learn to live a life, hiding nothing. Strain Times when you are alone 5. Be still and feel within you the rhythm of life and
go with it. Make up your mind whether you wish to conform to man-made
laws or to do My will whatever the costs. The choice lies in your own
hands. You are free to choose and no one else can make the choice for
you. Often the world will condemn you when you choose My way, but with
My blessings you can face what is to come without flinching, and know
that when you do 6. Relax! Give yourself over completely to Me. 7. Allow My cloak of peace and stillness to fall around
you and envelop 8. Be at peace. It is the opening of the heart centre
which makes you feel It is as if you had slept and have now awakened to find
a new world. Rejoice, My child, rejoice. Tread delicately, alertly, so that you miss nothing See even the tiniest insect in a new light. Because you have chosen to open your eyes, all is indeed made new. You have divided up life, but now it is one glorious Whole. The wholeness fills your heart, expands it, raises your
consciousness. 9. Have I not told you that all the sheep and the lambs
will be gathered 10. Unfold like a flower in the rays of the sun. 11. Every time you stop and say, "Thank you, Father"
you are aware o 12. Start this day with "summit thinking".
Let your thoughts dwell on Me; 13. Open your eyes. Raise your consciousness. Behold
the signs and I have much to reveal when you are ready to receive.
Prepare yourself now 14. Expand in consciousness; be ready to accept anything
now, at any Accept them, go with them, resisting nothing. Vibrations are being raised rapidly at this specific time. Keep your minds and hearts open and rise with the vibrations. Anything can happen when a group is gathered together and is of one heart and of one mind. ACCEPT THE WONDER OF THIS TRUTH 15. My beloved child, every soul eventually has to reach
a point along this Is it any wonder that I keep asking you to expand your consciousness, to see beyond the immediate three-dimensional consciousness into those higher dimensions where everything looks entirely different, where you can truly see the meaning of being made in My image and likeness, of being perfect even as I AM, where you can see the truth of those words, "I and the Father are One," one in Spirit and in Truth, inseparable? There are times when you are fully aware of the wonder of this and you feel tremendous joy bubbling up "within you. You lift your heart in deep praise and thanksgiving that you can see the Light, that you are aware of this wonderful Truth which is reality. For years I have asked you to stretch, to expand into
those higher realms of 16. Keep close and raise your consciousness all the
time. Whenever you feel it slipping, think on Me. Dwell on Me, and watch
Your close relationship with Me is more important than anything else, for all stems from that relationship. The more time you spend with Me, the smoother will be the running of your everyday living. From that centre, where you will always find Me when you seek, the ripples go out in ever increasing power. I AM your guide. I AM your God. 17. As you breathe, you expand—your consciousness
is the breath of life. This may be painful to begin with, but as you persevere, so you will become more alive to the ways of the Spirit. Every atom in your body will vibrate with life force. You will become more sensitive. Your feelers will be out searching for something new. 18. There is always something to be joyous about if
you keep your eyes and your heart wide open so that you can really enjoy
all the little joys around you. These quickly grow until all becomes
joy and your heart feels that it will burst with pure joy. You
will find that it is catching. When you radiate joy, you bring it into
the lives of others and it spreads like wildfire. What does it matter what the weather is like? Overcome all obstacles; refuse to see the dark and gloomy. See only the light; see the silver lining no matter how dark the cloud may be. Look up, look up. LET THERE BE MORE JOY AND LAUGHTER 19. Every soul has to take a different path to reach
the goal. No two paths Each day you grow like a tiny seed, expanding, casting
off the old, sending Every soul which has chosen to walk in the ways of the Spirit may be tested and tried, must go through the fiery furnace, so that all dross is burnt away and only the purest gold is left. Be grateful for every test and trial. As each
one is faced and won, 20. Learn to live simply, naturally, allowing each soul
to find its own note 21. Start the day with joy in your heart and thanksgiving
on your lips To start the day in a muddle and a blur is not helpful
to yourself nor to your Be patient and loving, and never at any time despair
of any soul. Somewhere, somehow you will be able to touch that which
will bring new life and joy and hope. The key is there, hidden away
perhaps. Let this be like a treasure hunt, one clue leading to the next
until the soul is reached. Persistence is essential. 22. Rise like the larks on the wing and sing and sing. 23. Let nothing disturb you. Live from day to day seeking
always that 24. Be grateful for all the different phases in life... for the stillness and peace and for the excitement and movement. Learn to go with each phase; do not fight against it demanding more of one and less of the other. Variety is indeed the spice of life. Enter into all that is going on around you with joy and gladness. 25. The way shall be straight and the path shall be
smooth and all shall be Live a life full of joy, of thanksgiving, of praise. 26. Arise and know Me. Become aware of Me every moment.
Let My joy 27. There is great joy in doing something on the spur
of the moment. When 28. I AM always there, like the breath that keeps your
body alive. Become 29. Become aware that your whole being is filled with
My divine Light and Slowly you begin to understand those words which you
have known since I you understand why you have to expand. You understand
why this three- 30. Like the waves of the sea, there is always movement.
You move ahead I AM your all and you know perfection. Every time you make that forward surge, it is stronger,
more powerful, 31. This spiritual life can be likened to the birth
of a baby, which goes in My peace I give you all. Rest in it when you are weary and the burden seems too heavy. Accept My gifts with praise and thanksgiving. 32. Living in the New calls for constant change, constant
alertness, no Living in the New is not just something to be talked about. It calls for action, for conscious awareness that you are really doing this, especially to begin with. When you are learning to work something new... driving a car for example... you are aware of every part of it. You constantly have to think of what you are doing, of what your next move is, of what others on the road are doing,whether you are doing the right thing. At times you wonder if you will ever master the art. As you persevere and gain more confidence, you find that you can master it with fewer and fewer mistakes. So it is with living in the New. Every new action and
change is 33. My Word is the Bread of Life. Therefore, whenever you are hungry, be still and receive of the Bread of Life which gives life eternal. Many wonders will be seen with the physical eye, but even greater wonders by the eye of the Spirit. This is barred from none, but the desire must be great. 34. All souls come to the crossroads in their lives
and there they stand 35. Live a life. Don't talk about it or write about
it but simply live Dwell on Me. Fill your heart with love and praise and
rise like a balloon up Be patient and persistent, and persevere. 36. You seek peace? You will find it, but never be dependant
for that How often have you thought you would find that peace
when conditions You work alongside your fellowman, but never be dependant
on him for Your life, your future, your whole outlook on life rests
in your hands. Life 37. Life is so simple. Keep it so. Let nothing weigh
you down or depress Keep your consciousness raised, your mind stayed on Me. See My perfection working in you and through you. All your needs have been met, for all I have is yours. Let the words and the thoughts you have heard so many
times become a 38. My limitless Love, My limitless Truth, My limitless

39. Let Me work My wonders within you. Stand aside and let Me take over. When you let the little self in and allow it to stand in the way, 1 can do nothing but wait until you, of your own free will, choose to remove it and let Me take over. In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. Darkness cannot be cleared until it has been revealed,
brought to the surface and seen for what it is. In the Light it has
no power and will eventually die away into nothingness. Be grateful Look within. You do not have to withdraw to a place
of worship to Do not suppress anything... and I mean
anything. Let Love flow. Let joy bubble forth like a clear crystal stream.
Allow nothing to dampen that song of joy. It is not always what the
eye beholds that creates this; it is what the soul feels. Vibrate with
it. Share everything with Me. Let your thinking
be so filled with Light LET GO AND LET GOD You will find yourself letting go and

and I mean "to the full". Live, My child, as if this moment
were the only moment in your life, and enjoy it to the full. |

| Peace SEE YOURSELF AS A CHRYSALIS 86. Peace of heart and mind is essential at this time. Be not concerned because you feel strange; many changes are taking place in the cell structure just now and you are bound to experience strange sensations. Accept this as part of the plan and go with all that is happening. See yourself as a chrysalis in a cocoon going through this process of change, not really knowing what is happening but being aware of the strangest sensations which you could not stop even if you wanted to. Eventually you will appear as a beautiful butterfly after many strange experiences. Be at peace through it all. Accept it all with a full and grateful heart. All is very well. GREAT CHANGES ARE ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE 87. Great changes are about to take place in the whole universe. It will not be a comfortable time. It is important that each one has no fear, no concern, knowing that this great upheaval is necessary before the next step can be taken. Remember My words when you feel these upheavals. Follow My instructions, knowing that no harm can befall you when you dwell in the secret place of the Most High. "A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee." This is My promise to all who stand firm in My Light. These words may not mean very much to you now, but in the days to come they will be like healing balm to your soul. Therefore, be at peace. JUDGE NO MAN 88. As your consciousness expands, you cease being critical and intolerant, because you rise above all those foolish, petty, human irritations into the realm of peace and harmony. At times you feel that this is impossible? How could this ever be? With Me, nothing... absolutely nothing... is impossible. This state of perfect oneness can happen to you right now. More and more you must realize that you are all on different beams, even though the goal is the same. Because a soul is not on the same beam as you, it does not mean that that soul is on the wrong beam. Judge no man, but love all and in so doing raise your consciousness to that level of unity. Peace, peace, peace. Life is indeed a joyous song of praise and thanksgiving. |

YOU NEVER KNOW 102. You never know what I am going to ask you to do. Have no set routine. There are times when it is absolutely essential simply to be and to find peace and stillness. That is one time when you live entirely by the Spirit, prompted only by the Spirit. LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT 103. Seek always that which unites. Look for the best in every situation. Life is what you make it. You are surrounded by My blessings, like the grains of sand on the seashore, they are innumerable. They are there when you choose to open your eyes and behold them. See only the perfect in all that is happening. I AM THAT I AM. SPIRIT IS FREE 104. Keep alert; there is so much going on at this time and I do not want you to miss it. Sleep when I tell you to sleep, wake when I tell you to wake. You are not living an ordinary, mundane, conventional life; your life is beyond conventions. You can expect things to happen. Expect rapid changes in rhythm. Function from the Spirit. Spirit cannot be limited, cannot be fenced in by convention. Spirit is free, absolutely free to rise, to enter into new dimensions, into new realms. Spirit has no fixed patterns, no set ways. It is limitless. Dwell on this truth. Feel it. Feel all the old restrictions falling away. Feel yourself expand beyond recognition. Do things which you have never done before because of this new and wonderful sense of freedom... freedom of the Spirit. Know that I am Limitless: therefore, you too, are limitless. Do this with a sense of peace and tranquility. Moving into the New is quite natural. Let Joy radiate from you. |
