Greetings Friends!
This past Easter holiday, my husband and I visited a very special and spiritual place called Questhaven in Escondido, California, for their annual Easter Retreat. From the moment we entered the grounds, we were transported to another dimension, where peace, silent joy, beauty and holiness prevail! The energy emanating from Mother Nature, and the human families who dwell there, or just volunteer to work on the premises, made us feel like we were coming "Home" to fellowship with our Questhaven Family, and all the Angelic Beings, Masters, Devas, and Nature Sprites who are everywhere on these special premises.
Walking the grounds and some of the magnificent trails, I experienced a vibration that cleared my mind, strengthened my physicality, and brought divine bliss to my Soul. The Nature paths, the flowers, the running creeks, and trees called to me to connect with them, and to receive the blessings they give to all of humanity. Each night, I felt the energy pulsating throughout my body from the love of the Angelic Beings and The Masters, comforting me, communing with me, as I prepared for sleep and dreams that transported me from Linear Time to Quantum Time with my Soul.
Being in the Chapel for the Good Friday and Easter Services brought a special reverence and awakening to the Oneness in this friendly Universe, the unconditional love of The Indwelling Christ, our Creator Within, and a rebirth in my consciousness that stays with me in my meditations and my memories of this special weekend, as I now go about my daily tasks at home with ease and grace.
I consider these sacred grounds of 640 acres of trees, flowers, hiking trails, hills, labyrinth, cottages, a chapel, and library to be a Divine Oasis in the thirsty desert of this world, that brings hope, joy, enlightenment, serenity, and fulfillment to all who enter this blissful energetic area, while quenching the thirst for all to drink in the well of holy abundance that is felt everywhere there.
In this area of blissful energy, I found that I could write with great clarity, and ideas just seemed to flow into my mind. The silence at night was sweet and healing, shutting out the noises of civilization's busyness and the hectic pace of living. A calmness penetrated my presence, and I began to commune with nature. It was transforming and rejuvenating, as my total physicality felt at one with everything: The winding hiking paths that presented picturesque scenes at every bend and corner; the buildings, the grass, the trees, the flowers, the sacred labyrinth that offers a magnificent view of the hills and valleys, the clouds parading across the blue and sometimes, gray sky, which showed me the Holy web of interconnectedness. I saw the oneness in all things, all life, as past, present, and future memories jotted in and out of my imagination, like movie scenarios that come and go at will, leaving imprints on my consciousness, teaching lessons of eternity that transformed my thoughts into the reality of infinite dimensions and multiple life journeys, that gave me mystical insights into a Heaven deep within and without.
It was then that I realized that slowing down to appreciate my surroundings, whether it be at Questhaven, or my home, or wherever I happen to be, is very, very important. For it is in slowing down to appreciate all of nature and life, that life and nature communicate with me and teach me how to look deep within and without, as I learn to listen to the sounds of silence, the sounds of life, the sounds of my own breathing, the sounds of God in panoramic vibrational frequencies, reassuring me that I am never alone. I am one with everything, and I am special, and divine and an extension of Source-Creator experiencing Itself through me and all of life everywhere! Questhaven is within me, just as the Universe, and God are within me, and slowing down to acknowledge and appreciate my inner and outer world, no matter where I am, is a valuable life experience. Life supports me and I support life--we are One for all eternity. We are abundant, and magnificent, and holy, and we live forever in lifetimes and worlds and dimensions that never end. It is a glorious awakening to my consciousness, and gives me fortitude and strength to carry on here, especially when the external world presents all of its amazing drama and illusions to me,suggesting to me that this is all there is. I can now smile and say, I embrace you, just as I embrace my Oneness with all, and slowing down to still my mind shows me the big picture of life.
Let us remember, then, to connect with nature as often as we can, easing our hectic pace to appreciate all the gifts the Universe sends us, on this glorious journey of life. Let us visit places like Questhaven, for quiet, reflective time, to get reacquainted with ourselves and nature, and to experience the treasures that Source lovingly spreads before us all the time, knowing that in the true reality, we are everything, we are everyone, and we are everywhere--for we are eternal!
I invite you to visit the Questhaven grounds and experience the bliss that I enjoyed. Visit the Questhaven website to see all the many spiritually exciting activities they host. When you are there, take time to hug a tree, talk to the flowers, and listen as Nature greets you and communicates with you. Step off the Linear Time Line, and visit Quantum Time for a spiritual soul-changing experience you will never forget!
In my book, Connections With Spirit, I dedicated a poem to these sacred grounds, entitled "Questhaven," and I shall share a few lines with you here:
Questhaven
Take 640 acres of comely nature
Set it in a town in San Diego County
Give it winding trails of unspeakable loveliness
Where flowers, trees, shrubbery, rocks, running brooks
Spiritual shrines suffused with silence
Dancing rays of sun and whispers of the wind
Satisfy the appetite for delicious solitude
Add a heightened spiritual vibration
Of unseen entities of divine essence
Clean air, picturesque hills and valleys
Mix with aesthetic paths which invite you to roam
To connect with the child within you
And you have a marvelous Spiritual Retreat
Called Questhaven--
God bless you,
Lightworker Gloria
