They offer guidance, at other times they may offer comfort, understanding, or inspiration. Written effortlessly using a technique referred to as automatic writing, they are simple yet deeply thought-provoking. Covering a variety of topics, their common theme is the power of acceptance, forgiveness, and love as the actions needed to win in the game of life.
Even though the topics covered may at times be complex in everyday life and relationships, the guidance offered is not. It is clear and to the point, with no wasted words. They cover a wide range of topics including Leadership, Assertiveness, Honesty, Judgement, Stress, and more spiritual titles such as The Awakening, Consciousness, and The Purpose of Life.
Written in a poetry style format, they offer a concentrated explanation of important life issues, giving clear, concise definitions and guidance on how to deal with the many issues covered. Writing in this concentrated manner makes them an excellent addition to more lengthy books and teachings on the topics covered.
Overall they have one clear theme:
The meaning of life is found in the decision to believe in the realness and power of Love and that, 'to forgive is to accept and to accept is to Love'.
Messages From the Love Within can be read as a regular book from start to finish or simply by opening a page, reading it, and thinking about what the words on that page mean to you.

Messages from the Love Within was written using a method referred to as automatic writing. Automatic writing is a natural and easy process where it seems the words just write themselves. There is no need to think you simply write and when it is time to stop, you just seem to know. The process is so different to normal writing that even though it is all my original work, I have handwritten every word and I own the copyright it doesn’t feel like it is my work, nor my creation. Therefore automatic writing means that as an author my personal knowledge, training or qualifications are far less important than they would be in the case of other self-help authors where their experience and knowledge is critical. The main skill I needed was the ability to write, spell and accept the words as they came and not change or try to improve them so they fit my ideas or beliefs.
For those who are interested in a little about me, I was born in Sydney, Australia, number six in a family of ten children. My father was a Medical Practitioner and my mother owned and managed a real estate agency. I was raised a Catholic but as an adult soon realized I was more suited to the individual spiritual and meditation path more than a structured religious one. In the mid-1980s I embraced the new age movement exploring different ideas and concepts, different religions, spiritual teachers and teachings and traveled on a number of occasions to India.
It was following one of these trips in 1995 that I started to write down my thoughts, thinking one day sharing my experiences and insights may help others. After doing that for a few weeks I had an unusual dream. During that dream I felt a surge of energy move through the palms of my hands, I then saw myself collapse on the floor. Next, I remember seeing myself sitting at a desk, writing on a pad and saying out loud, “I understand, I now automatically write”.
A few days later I thought I would see what happened if I sat at a desk with pen and paper as I had seen myself in the dream. Almost immediately I started to write. Words flowed easily, effortlessly and very quickly. They came in a poetry style format covering many different topics and I found if I needed to think of what to write next it was time to stop, as the truth of the message may be distorted by my personal perception of what should be. This process continued for the next few months and again in 1996. The result is this book.
Today I love reading and listening to many authors and teachers and taking from them what has meaning for me and I have especially found the words in these messages to be a great guide and help to me so I am very pleased I am able to share them with others by publishing them.
