I ‘re-discovered’ an outline from some years ago (20140617) that I wrote up in regards to a presentation on parenting I would like to give. I feel really passionate about improving myself as a parent and I thought that others may find the notes useful.
The purpose is to encourage self reflection and self discovery in regards to parenting.
I am excited to share my experiences in regards to experimenting with becoming a loving ‘parent’ from God’s perspective.
I am finding that sincerely engaging God’s Way is the fastest way to change the family dynamic in a loving and lasting way! I know this for certain and recommend God’s Way (more info at the links below) wholeheartedly!
I suggest checking out Jesus & Mary’s website: Divinetruth.com for detailed information as this is what my experiments are based on. Also while a relationship with God is developing, or is non existent, depending on where you are at, the resources Jesus & Mary have and are sharing are very inspiring & helpful in opening one up to and beginning an investigation of understanding in a lot of areas, particularly the Truth about God!!
There is so much information on parenting out there, (much of it based on punishment and reward), yet often it doesn’t work or it promises ‘quick fixes’ that don’t work long term and don’t actually find or deal with the reason/s why events happen & issues occur between adults & kids (kids & kids, adults & adults) in the first place.
I have been experimenting with Principles of God’s Truth or Divine Truth as presented by my friends, Jesus and Mary Magdalene and these do work and do have lasting positive effects, some immediate, all long term and lasting – when you fully engage the principles involved with your soul rather than your mind. Taking an action without a soul change is not going to be lasting change – ever. ‘Trying is lying’ (as Mary says) – I know, I have tried.
Making positive change will take sincere desire, effort on your part, feeling emotions and a passionate desire and longing to love as God loves- which you will need to grow a desire to do. You can do it with God or without God. I’ve heard with God is faster. This approach is not an overnight fix, it is a life long adventure and a way of life/living – that works. Once a change is made in your soul, it is an forever change on that particular subject.
An exciting change for me is how I feel inside myself and about myself. It seems as my opinion of myself actually grows for real, my life becomes more enjoyable. It makes a wonderful change and I feel more desire to love and get to know others without effort. I haven’t had to ‘try’ and it hasn’t been ‘hard’ when I have made real changes. Things seemed to ‘just happen’ quite smoothly.
I feel excited to have found a way that works and is improving my life in every area – including my relationships with my partner, kids and everyone in my environment in a real way!
Please feel free to ask questions at any time by emailing me or going to the ‘Contact us’ page and if you are uncertain about any terminology I use please let me know and I will explain.
I would like to share with you some of my personal experiences of engaging God’s Laws and Principles of God’s Truth and the super positive affects they have had in my life with my relationship with children. I want to share these as I’ve found them to be positively life changing! Being honest with myself about how I feel has in some cases made everything instantly better, and even intellectual realisations have helped me understand what’s going on rather than feeling totally helpless. Ignorance is not bliss.
I will be sharing only about things that I have actually experienced. There are many things I do not know yet and many areas I have yet to have experiences in.
When I speak about God, much of it is based on Divine Truth and what I have heard from Jesus and Mary, I am experimenting for myself at the moment. I don’t know a lot about God myself yet. I am excited about what I am discovering.
I am beginning to see that being a parent is a gift – an opportunity to learn about love, God’s Laws, Gods way of loving. I’ve heard that, the reason God had children is because she had a desire to love them. That is it.
If we do not have a pure desire to love our kids – we need to look at why. Having children is an opportunity for each of us to learn how to love in a pure way. To give to a child in a loving way rather than addiction, neediness, demand, expectation etc.
The unhealed emotions in your soul creates the behaviours your children reflects to you and you attracted the perfect personality (of the child) to expose and heal the error in your soul. If we are humble having children can teach us so much about love.
The process I am engaging is about me. Dealing with my unloving behaviour. In dealing with my stuff first it automatically creates change in the children without having to say a thing. To really love we need to begin by looking at ourselves. We need to take personal responsibility for our actions, feelings, emotions and thoughts and look truthfully at what our soul created and attracted. It is examining through God’s Laws: the Law of attraction the behaviour your child is reflecting to you. Children are not ‘bad’ or trying to be. They are often acting out behaviour and sometimes they have no idea why they are doing what they are doing. They are not calculating (when they are small) they have to learn to be manipulative from their environment. You might feel they are manipulative but they are actually just reflecting something in you and/or being influenced by spirits to do something. As they get older the behaviours & feelings you allowed, encouraged or modelled to them become habits, addictions, normalized and children then act out of these rather than their ‘real self’ – nature and personality God designed.
I feel we need to take more self responsibility as parents and rather than blaming innocent children and damaging them by being unloving we need to have courage and humility to see and feel our own pain and the damage from our childhoods and be prepared to feel in order to change and heal the injuries fully without involving children in the process.
Actively choosing to harm a person, taking our pain out or on (our) children or suppressing them from feeling because we personally don’t want to feel is unloving. Our sadness, the rage we have, any emotion we personally have, is not because of a child, they didn’t create it in us. Our parents and/or childhood environment did, as did theirs before them, so if we’re going to be angry it needs to be with the people/person responsible. Not an innocent child
We need to be honest with how we feel, take personal responsibility and take it to God, if you do need to express it, express it to the person/s responsible not someone else and not at someone else.
There is no justification for unloving or harmful behaviour – so find out why you want to act on the unloving behaviour especially towards children, so you can truly change it. This is going to take self reflection and sincere desire to look at yourself ‘warts and all’.
We need to look at why we are willing to harm children, especially those in our care, or ‘our’ children. (For me I have a feeling I own them and they should do what I tell them. I feel I have a right and I justify that I do it because I ‘love’ them. But actually when I have examined my feelings closely I am not often in harmony with what God sees as ‘right’ and loving. I am very much out of harmony on many subjects and the treatment of children is one of these areas).
I feel that what most parents view as love is actually addiction. It is about what they can ‘get’ emotionally from a child not what they can give, and parenting doesn’t involve much unconditional love.
I have noticed, Violence begets violence, or creates terror which creates violence or allows violence in the end. Me being angry, the kids learn to be angry too and they learn thorugh my modelling that it is acceptable – they act it out towards each other. E.G. hitting each other. I don’t like it when they do this, but it is happening and I need to look inside myself as to why as well as taking loving action (restraining – more on this to come) and talking to the kids about violence and how it is out of harmony with love.
Be honesty about how you really feel about these things, really reflect on these questions emotionally, then things can change. If you are not honest with yourself nothing will change.
Often things you want to avoid or fear end up happening – this is the law of attraction at work to expose the unhealed emotion and to give you an opportunity to feel about it and heal it so you never do it again…
If you heal the causal reason you’re doing something in the first place rather than continuously deal with the effects lasting, positive change happens. (The causal reason being the real, emotional reason that drives you to do what you do, feel how you feel, think how you think etc) .
Now is the perfect time to feel and engage a process of growth and change to heal and become more loving. There is no point putting things off because they only get worse. I know from experience… So experiment with your feelings, address any issue right now, in the moment. Now is the perfect time.
I encourage you to try something different, try feeling or at least being truthful with yourself about how you feel, truly, inside. Stop blaming, own your stuff and experiment!

‘Donut’ design (thanks to Jesus for sharing this concept & idea with us)
Pete and I get excited about experimenting with construction and various ways to make buildings/dwellings.
Our friend Jesus is an awesome ideas person, designer & problem solver and in a conversation some months ago was discussing with us construction ideas and speaking with us about design ideas and Love based principles in Construction. I made up some very basic concept drawings and paper mache initial concept designs to have a look in 3D (these are not to scale) what the ideas may look like.
Below: Concept models of possible layouts and ideas for the ‘Donut’ Design.
Our reason for sharing the concept designs publicly is firstly we felt so excited and inspired by the possibilities and ideas and secondly we are interested if you have any information, ideas, thoughts or inspirations that you desire to share in regards to construction, please contact us through the ‘contact us’ page (press on link) or via email
We would love to hear about ideas in any areas, including but not limited to: concept development (additional ideas & inspirations you may have from seeing these designs), engineering (taking into consideration the below criteria – bullet points) particularly ideas to do with catastrophes including earthquakes, new and interesting materials that you may know about to use in construction, new power sources & people doing interesting experiments in these areas, waste management etc.
Jesus has discussed and spoke about some areas to look at when designing and creating buildings. Some (this is not an extensive list) of the qualities that we found inspiring are as follows:
If you do desire to share please keep in mind that if you have ideas and find information it is most helpful to have it summarised and investigated thoroughly before sharing it, with sources sited (so others can find the info easily). Personal ideas & experience are welcomed. If you feel like sharing with us we’d love to hear from you.
“Donut” design:
Each section is individually created (see below) so that they can be made separately and then joined to the next one as needed. So that each new ‘unit’ was built it could be added to eventually form an entire ‘donut’.
Each ‘unit’ would have privacy as it faces away from the other and it would also mean any maintenance or repairs could be carried out by removing sections and replacing them if needed.
Tetrahedron shape could be used as square sides may be more cost effective in the short term. Edges are square but form a ‘circle’ when all added together next to each other. This would lend itself to the same ideas as the ‘donut’ in making it in parts and able to replace and repair parts without damaging the whole.
this ‘conut’ complex could have a 20km diameter and potentially house 20, 000 people depending on design. It could also be 2 km wide, or as wide or small as suits the requirements
Top view (above) Could build this in sections at different times as needed. could have facilities such as schools and auditoriums. Due to being built in sections each one is able to be removed and repaired if needed without demolishing the entire structure. Potentially could house 20,000 people all with privacy, abundant food and awesome living conditions. This could be 3-4 levels high.
model of apartment/separate living space ideas for individual sections. These are not to scale
‘Donut’ design cross section (below).
cross section of ‘donut’ construction idea (not to scale)
Cross section of ideas for ‘donut’ design with retractable dome over middle section for food growing/food forest, natural beauty area and mirco climate. (Not to scale)
2km – 20km or more distance in middle. Could actually build a ‘donut’ around a hill, or encompassing rain forest (see drawing concept below).
Due to the design being made up of sections could make it over time as funds become available and the desire or need for it grows.
Could have earth built up on outsides with grass/plants growing up over it. ‘Donuts’ could have view facing into the hill/forest. or could do it opposite way and have view facing outwards.
build the ‘donut’ around a hill encompassing rain forest. Creating a ‘bio dome’ where many things could grow in a micro climate. (Not to Scale). Part could also have earth over it for strength and durability.
Some Advantages:
Would eventually like to have levitation/vacuum suction devices to get around in instead of cars and roads. Could have communal transport so that everyone didn’t need their own vehicle – e.g. levitation ‘train’ to whizz about around the grounds etc (I don’t know about the higher laws of love or how this works yet, but I love the idea).
Using materials such as earth bricks could mean you do least amount of damage in smallest area as using onsite materials – needs further investigation
Above are some ideas of layout designs (not to scale) and window options. Could have retractable window shutters, and ability to have various ways to help protect the building from earth change events, or extreme weather events. The design would be such that there is very little modifications needed but can be made anywhere in the world. Retractable coverings to shut out light or protect from extreme weather events.
Other ideas:
Above, idea of having a central domed pod in the middle with curved ‘pod’s’ radiating out from the middle. Based on ‘Nissan huts’ idea in Australia. Could also do this with covered shipping containers.
Would suit a family or could have it as four families all with back of pods joining central area where food/kitchen/eating area. (can design all sorts of things)
Rounded shaped buildings (below). Probably strong, but individual. These could have earth over the roof and use aeration ducts through the water storage area to keep them cool and moderate temperature.
Thanks so much Jesus and Mary for the many gifts you give, including the past and up coming Assistance Groups outlines and presentations.What an opportunity to learn to truly engage and embrace a relationship with God and gain a real Education in Love.
Thank you for being an inspiration, for the many, many gifts you give and for being a demonstration of the Love and Truth’s you teach! Thank you for creating such an extensive resource for the world to discover and learn from in all the material you share so freely & abundantly.

Hi Everyone,
It has been a while since I have sat down to blog and lots has been happening.
Cushnie Learning Centre Wildlife boxes installation
We would like to thank Ange and Rob for having us on the Cushnie Learning Centre to put up Wildlife boxes during April & May.
Thanks Jesus & Mary for donating a trailer full of wildlife boxes to the Cushnie Learning Centre.
The project is possible with the donations of wildlife boxes, time & expertise from Denise and Wayne Shaw and thanks you guys so much for your passions and enthusiasm in creating creature boxes and helping us learn about where best to put them.
We have some more boxes that were donated some years ago that we have brought up from Kyabra Station to go up in the coming months. Thanks everyone who helped out with resources and time.
Images below: The trailer full & collection of wildlife boxes donated by Jesus and Mary. Wayne, Denise, Pete, kids, Ange & Rob installing various boxes in various nesting spots.
Renovation
We are renovating a little house in the bush and have had all kinds of things going on with it in regards to learning about how to interact with people, not compromise our vision but rather finding ways to have what we desire and come up with solutions. This has not always been easy but it has been a learning experience and we are continuing to learn as we go.
Thanks to Jesus for helping us with the design, helping us see some of the emotions driving us that cause various attractions and encouraging us to not compromise but rather seek solutions.
Thanks Corny and Trevor for most of the build, particularly to the donated time you have given at times. We really appreciate it. Also Thanks to the council who have given us time and heaps of ideas in regards to alternatives to difficult situations due to old work not being ‘done by the book’ so to speak. It is by no means finished but it is definitely underway.
Pete has been awesome giving his time and efforts to doing the first bit of landscaping and doing all the general bits and pieces he can do to help.
Attending Assistance Group 2 – Developing my Loving Self
http://divinetruth.com/www/en/html/index.htm#download-event-2016.htm
Jesus and Mary planned an amazing 6 days of presentations in Noosaville, Queensland Australia. I found the information amazing, challenging and ‘comforting’ if it can be described as such, in that The guys made it explicit and to the point and I like knowing where I am at and what is going. the Truth is truly awesome!
This group left me in no doubt as to where I am at and what I need to do to progress in my relationship with God. I learnt some invaluable lessons about having compassion for myself and others and understand my addictions far better than I previously did. Jesus’ deconstruction process is awesome!
I notice it is easy to chuck around a heap of Divine Truth jargon and say a lot of things. Actually making soul changes takes humility, a burning passionate desire, time, sincerity, an aspiration for Truth, Faith, action and this I have not had to the required degree yet. Excitingly it can be developed. I feel more solid on what is required of me. More hopeful and a little more educated in The Way – there is infinite knowledge available so I feel my education will be never ending. The way God educates is so economical and awesome.
What I am loving about these assistance groups – are so many things – including being inspired, learning more and more about God’s personality and nature, God is Good, that is a truth to let settle in our souls! I love that I can go back again and again and visit the exact bits via YouTube that are relevant for me at any given moment. This doesn’t just go for the assistance groups. This goes for all the material that Jesus and Mary have presented over the years! I am noticing that every time I go back it is like I didn’t hear it the first time. Just goes to show how there is a difference between intellectual understanding and soul understanding!
I cannot express how awesome these groups are and what a great resource Jesus and Mary have gifted to the world!
I was also grateful for the opportunity to spend the first Assistance Group learning some Camera skills, thanks Jesus for this opportunity and Lena, Igor and Corny for helping me out and sharing your expertise behind the camera. It was a really good experience and I look forward to learning more.
I want to thank all of you who donated to me for my time behind the camera. I really appreciate it and was quite blown away by the gifts I received both materially and emotionally during the Assistance Groups! The donations covered my accommodation costs, Thank you.
God’s Way of Love Education
Peter, Tristan, the kids and I have begun a venture to create learning opportunities and document the process of working through various emotions and issues between parents and children. The children and us are working together on some experiments and ideas that we look forward to sharing more about over the next few years. It is in the infant stages and we are trailing some ideas and refining them in order to eventually have the resources and a Love based curriculum to create an example school and to be able to take into schools who are interested.
We are very excited about this venture and thank Jesus particularly for his mentoring of each of us in this process. More to come in future updates.
We would like to thank various people who are already supporting this project and have given gifts to the future school and the Learning Centre.
These include Tristan who is super passionate about the project and collaborating with us, we love working with you Tris! Jesus & Mary with ideas and mentoring. Queensland University who have donated three microscopes which will be invaluable for the Learning Centre projects and the school. And thanks to Luli for organising the microscopes for us and for her insights and information about scientific documentation.

Where to over the next months:
We have some exciting ventures in the pipelines which I will share more about in the near future.
The next step…
Present personal state of affairs:
Personally Pete and I are wanting to make sure we have time to just allow ourselves to feel and connect with what comes up in the course of a day and a week. Pete and I have noticed that though we have changed locations and changed our ‘life’ physically our emotional state still drives us and all the issues we had previously we still have. They don’t change until we feel and release them. So moving hasn’t changed our soul, but it has given us opportunities that we didn’t previously have and so now it is a matter of bringing our every day lives into more harmony with our long term goals.
It is so easy to ‘get busy’ to have hundred’s of things on the go. It feels much harder to stop and make time to just be with ourselves and give ourselves alone time to feel and contemplate what is going on. So we will see how we go with this over the next few months.
Making the time to grow our relationship with God first and foremost, and then our relationship with each other (our own soul) needs to become our number one priorities. We are noticing that when these areas of our life are not the main focus and are in disharmony that things do not go so well for us. It is taking time to change our old habits but we have growing aspirations for the future.
We are particularly noticing how our relationship is changing or being challenged. God’s laws destroy anything that is not in harmony with love and it feels at the moment that there is a lot to be broken down and destroyed. This is not particularly comfortable and at times I notice how much I freak out because I don’t have a clue about what it is going to be like when it is in harmony with love – control and fear of the unknown being exposed. Having a life based on the World’s view of love means that we really have no idea about what our lives will turn out like when we are in harmony with God’s love. The quality of faith needs developing!! So here’s is to growing Aspirations in a loving direction!
Love to you all,
Eloisa and Peter
“If you just rely on yourself, having courage is very hard – how much courage you have is completely dependent on your own limitations.
Whereas God is an unlimited God, with unlimited Goodness. If I trust and have faith in God, now my courage will be dependent on God’s feelings, not my own. To me, that means I can do anything, no matter how afraid I am.
I don’t consider myself to have much personal courage. I simply have faith in God and God’s Goodness.”

I have always wondered what a peanut plant looks like and how it grows.
Having moved to ‘peanut growing country’ near Kingaroy, Queensland Australia now we know.
It is pretty fascinating to see how they grow up put out little trendles that grow down into the soil and then produce a peanut on the end.
It is amazing to see something that I have only ever heard about in real life and get the opportunity to actually see what and how it grows.
A bit more information can be found at: http://www.peanutvan.com.au/how-peanuts-are-grown.php

fresh peanuts taste really different to supermarket peanuts. They have a different flavour, texture and smell. VERY interesting!
We found a local Bunya nut a few weeks ago. It was lots bigger than my head, spikey and sappy when we carried it up the hill. It was really heavy and we were intrigued to find out how it would ‘open’ and what the seeds would be like. It was the first time we had ever seen one of these extraordinary specimens.
My suggestion is to never sleep under a bunya pine when it is fruiting.
It is so exciting how many things God has created for us to discover and to figure out how they work, God’s abundance and variety blows me away.
I didn’t get a photograph of the Bunya Nut whole, but below are some photographs of it in parts and seeding.
It all just flaked apart and produced a number of seeds and a lot of mulch.
Pete found the following link written by Bruce Perkins, that has some interesting ideas to consider in regards to ‘fireless forests’ – bunya and hoop pines are species of these types of forests.
http://www.bunyanurseries.com.au/forum
The Bunya forests are a lovely place to spend a day or two if you are in the local Kingaroy, Queensland area at anytime.

Brangas Steers ready for the feedlot
Hi!
We were reading some articles over the last months on the impacts of livestock farming on the environment and making the choice to not eat meat (vegan).
We found them interesting and thought you may be interested too, so here they are:
Impacts of Livestock on the Environment:
George Monbiot, “Warning: your festive meal could be more damaging than a long-haul flight”
Nathan Halverson, “This Huge Loophole Helps the Meat Industry Hide its Pollution”
http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/01/us-meat-emissions-paris-cop21
George Monbiot, “There’s a population crisis all right. But probably not the one you think”
Veganism:
Jack Monrow, “My meat addiction is over: I’ve gone vegan, and it’s brilliant”
We might add to this list as we find more in the future.
Love,
P&E (Pete & Eloisa)
Note, we don’t agree with everything in these articles, but there is an opportunity to become more aware of what is really going on and feeling about the issues raised, if one so desires.
Thanks Mary for sharing and for those journalists/people who are talking about these issues
DEAR GOD...
