Precept 6: To Offer Every Regret into God’s Love and Infinite Consciousness
****** Regret ******
Resurrect - Ego - Gone - Real - Eternal - Truth
I have many regrets from the past that I feel I have healed in my own way over time, still many that needs offering to God and some that are unknown.
However, if I am honest with myself, one regret I have is becoming a Minister. God has presented me with many challenges along my spiritual journey, which have been hard to comprehend...
By offering this truth to God, I have been consciously practising the act of surrendering my regret into God's loving hands and divine consciousness, allowing myself to find deeper healing, meaning, truth and peace within myself.
Where I am now view my regret as growing pains, opportunities for growth, strengthening me, helping me to grow deeper in my faith, to love God, and to remain steadfast, committed and dedicated to my unique ministry. Which has not been easy, but I have felt a change within myself...
The Light of Inner Strength…. I am Secure, I am Safe
The image that I have drawn this month for you all to see below, I felt resonated with Precept 6… The image I saw was of hands surrounded by a radiant, divine light… I believe that they were God’s Hands… This powerful image that I tried to capture filled my entire being, which is difficult to put into words… Apart from I felt protected, safe, secure and close to God…
****** World Regrets ******
Then I started reflecting more deeply about regret from the perspective of the world…And how many people, especially children, are suffering and maybe regretting being born into this world right now, particularly in areas that are affected by war, conflict, and natural disasters…
Just emphasising with the weight of such regret feels especially heavy when reflecting on those whose lives have been shaped by such devastation beyond their control and out of their hands.
In the early hours of the morning, I had a dream that small missiles were inside my nana’s old house. I remember the panic and how terrified everyone was on seeing the missiles. We were all desperately trying to make a quick exit, rushing out of the house to find safety as fast as possible. I remember holding tightly onto my son and nephew’s hands while the missiles were firing all around us. Suddenly, an enormous ocean appeared out of nowhere. I remember gripping my son and nephew’s hands even tighter, feeling like this could be the end, as the waves were so strong…
As we were sinking down to the bottom of the ocean… I remember calling out to Divine Mother with so much faith, pleading for her help, and I don't know how but I instinctively knew she would. She lifted us gently up with her powerful wave… I felt such a relief inside my being that she had rescued us... At first, it looked like she was going to place us somewhere safe… But then she lifted us up so high that I saw a huge castle in front of me.
It looked like a dungeon or a prison, a place where all the missiles were heading. I wondered why Divine Mother was taking us there. When I focused on my spiritual eye, everything had disappeared, and I woke up… When I woke up, I remembered that the day before, in my sleep, I had seen a huge missile …
I have to say… I don’t watch or read the news, only if something significant catches my attention on YouTube or via email …
Dear Friends, use probably all know this, but our world needs prayers of light, peace, harmony and inner strength right now…

Precept 5: To Release, one by one, Every Desire and Attachment into the Supreme Bliss
Mahatma Gandhiji by Rev Dinah Pemberton
This month I automatically found myself in the flow of releasing desires and attachments, and trying my best to give it to God. I have to admit consciously giving it to God has not been entirely easy…
Last week during my sleep, I saw Mahatma Gandhi in my Spiritual Eye… For him to appear, I thought maybe I released some of my attachments and desires to him into that supreme bliss, I must say I do feel like a different person after his appearance to me… In his honour and in our homeschooling this week, we spent some time drawing a picture of Mahatma Gandhiji as we are learning about his great work... I thought that I would include my drawing as part of Precept 5 as it felt right :)

Precept 1: To Face the Past
Greetings Friends,
Happy Chinese New Year…
Last night at midnight, I could hear the sounds of fireworks going off in celebration, and I remembered that it was the Chinese New Year. I recall many years ago receiving a special invitation from a Zazen Monk to participate in welcoming the blessings of the Chinese New Year. On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve we attended a Buddhist temple, where we enjoyed some delicious food. Afterwards, we took part in a service to bring in the New Year in reverence and gratitude. If I remember correctly, that particular year was the Year of the Snake.
This year is also the year of the Snake, which invites us to shed old ideas, habits lettng go of the old, renewal, transformation, wisdom, personal growth, changes in conciousness, major life changes and welcoming new oppurnities.
Tuning in to the year of the Snake for me also means its a time for healing, embracing facing the past and reflecting on the things that are continually holding us back from our true potential and positive transformation in the world.
I've been thinking a lot about the RYV Values & Ethics, especially Ananda's 12 Precepts by Swami Kriyananda. I have considered changing and editing them, but every time I try, I feel in my being and heart that they are perfect just as they are.
This month, I noticed how strong the coincidence was wiith “Precept 1 to face the past” for me and for many of our dear friends who are part of both Reclaiming Your Virginity and Sushumna Chapel, in more ways than one. It sparked in us to reflect and connect in meaningful ways. We chose to creatively engage with the precepts monthly to see what unfolds for us together. Below are our unique expressions of poetry and art. If you feel inspired to join us each month to share, express your thoughts, feelings, through art, words and poetry feel free to reach out to me.
Here are the Ananda’s 12 precepts
to face the past; (January)

to offer every regret into God’s love and Infinite Consciousness; (June)

to help them see that everyone is motivated, however misguidedly, by the same soul-craving for Satchidananda; (September)
to concentrate on infinity; (October)
to practice devotion; (November)
to learn to overcome fear by realizing that we are not this body. (December)
