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”

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/22/festive-christmas-meal-long-haul-flight-meats-damaging-planet

 

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”

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/19/population-crisis-farm-animals-laying-waste-to-planet

 

Veganism:

Jack Monrow, “My meat addiction is over: I’ve gone vegan, and it’s brilliant”

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jan/28/jack-monroe-meat-vegan-food-ingredients?CMP=share_btn_link

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

November Update: Sold up and Moving on

November 2015, kids biking down front drive

We are excited to share with you that Kyabra Station is officially sold as of yesterday afternoon!

We have been really busy the last few months and it looks like we will continue to be so as we begin to plan and organise aspects of our future, as well as, pack up and sort out all the residue that is part of finalising the property sale, closing accounts and shutting down twenty years of business.

Pete and I are learning that doing things in harmony with Principles of God’s Truth, Love and God’s Laws makes life smoother and more simple. Dealing with past actions that we have taken and ‘tidying’ up family matters and company dealings that originated out of addictions and unloving desires has at times, been confronting, emotionally and physically painful and time consuming.

It is great to be getting everything sorted out, and beginning to find the causes for the issues being there in the first place. I feel this is very important for future business dealings. So though we have found aspects of this process challenging, there are many lessons of love to learn*, if we are open and willing to feel them.

Where to now?

For Eloisa and Peter:

For the next few weeks we will be staying on to help out with the transition of the property to the new owners, this also allows the kids time to finish up their school year neatly. This is a gift to all of us as it means we don’t have to rush to pack up and leave immediately and gives us the opportunity to fully sort out a few issues that still need to be tidied up about the place. It also gives the new people coming in a bit of extra time to find a new manager.

Once we leave we are looking forward to having a rest and beginning/furthering plans for some exciting future projects (more to come on this at http://godsway.net )

It will be the first time in our life that there is not ‘something to do’ ALL the time and we look forward to creating a lifestyle that gives ourselves an environment that totally supports us feeling and growing our relationship with God and our own soul. I feel pretty in awe that this opportunity is being presented to us. A year ago I didn’t even realise this was a possibility. How cool is GOD!!!

  • We are noticing that in times of stress, reminding ourselves of God’s Truth* on any given matter is super helpful and that when we keep feeling, that things are much smoother and feel better, even when initially they may have felt like a catastrophe. When we are resistant and don’t feel, the issues seem to get even bigger.

Check out how much grass is growing (in certain areas) here at the moment. We discovered a number of ‘lost’ or hiding sheep that literally couldn’t be seen for the grass cover!

October Update

Discovery Learning Centre

Discovery Learning Centre

Our life has been pretty busy over the last few months.

The main reason for this post is to let those of you who are interested know that due to changes in our life, that this website will not be in use for much longer and that Kyabra Station will soon belong to new people and so we will not be using this blog site anymore, and the Kentucky Learning Centre will no longer be in existence.

We are planning to still run a Learning Centre, it will just be in a different location with a different name. Our intentions and desires to have a place to demonstrate Principles of God’s Truth in action on Earth still remain the same!

We have another blog set up with all the information that is currently on this one, plus more. The Discovery Learning Centre Blog will be our site until we set up a website sometime in the future to cover all our planned endeavors.

Our new blog is:

http://discoverylearningcentre.org

and Peter and I are contactable on the following email address from now on:

consult@godswayoflove.org

I will put up a last post when the sale of Kyabra officially goes through, until then we wait, pack, plan and get ready for a whole new phase of our lives!

We are excited!! smile.

A little update of what has been going on over the last few months(there is more detailed information on the Discovery Learning Centre site):

Pete has been negotiating the sale of Kyabra Station and we are now awaiting approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board. If this goes through we are planning to leave Kentucky sometime in November and move to Wilkesdale, Queensland. The exact date will depend on how much consultation  with the new owners is needed in order to make the transition smooth.

We are packing up all our ‘stuff’ and by golly does there seem to be a lot. So now is a process of thinning out and giving away all the things we have no longer, need, want or have not used for years and packing and storing all the things that may be useful for our future endeavors.

We have been traveling between Queensland and NSW every few weeks for various planning meetings and have had the wonderful opportunity to learn more about God, God’s Truth, and God’s Love, and personal truth about ourselves, from our beautiful friends Jesus and Mary – we are so grateful for your advice and guidance – in all areas!

I am observing more and more God wanting to teach us all sorts of Truth’s and expose all manner of areas where we are out of harmony with love through the Law of Attraction, in every moment of our day. I am beginning to become more aware of this, particularly as we plan and engage changes in our lives.

The Law of Attraction is very precise and very clear, we are just not always accurately interpreting what God is trying to tell us due to our emotional injuries and sometimes just down right arrogance or desire to avoid listening because we don’t want to know for some reason. We are noticing when we react or act in the latter unloving ways, that things do not go smoothly or well for us. So Thanks God for continuously giving us the opportunity to change and for loving us enough to actually give us feedback and the opportunity to change constantly!! Life has the possibility to be truly incredible – ALL THE TIME! How exciting!

So on that note, have a wonderful week and for further information on our plans, future ideas and any future posts please visit our new site (link above).

October 2015, Update: Personal Relationships & Possibilities

We have been traveling between Queensland and NSW every few weeks attempting to plan and begin renovations on our little shed of a house, which seem to be continuously delayed for all sorts of reasons. So realizing that there are some lessons in love for us to learn we are now just planning and will begin ‘doing’ when we actually have some funds to do so.

We returned from Queensland this weekend having had the gift of listening to Jesus and Mary present Session 3 of the Partner Relationship Series FAQ’s and being involved in a personal truth session in regards to what is really going on between Pete and myself in our relationship (Reflection Questions at bottom of this blog). (Link to FAQ’s Partner Relationships for anyone who is interested in growing and really loving their partner and soulmate:  https://www.youtube.com/user/divinetruthfaq/search?query=partner+relationships)

It was so awesome to have personal feedback and to realise the focus in our relationship has been on what we can ‘get’ from one another or how we can avoid personal pain, rather than really to love one another. So interesting how self delusional we have desired to be rather than truthful and desiring to Love because we want to Love for real.

We thought going up to Queensland this last time was to begin earth works for some water tanks. What we discovered was it was to learn about love. Being in harmony with God’s Love and God’s Truth is really what is important and that every area that we are out of harmony with God’s Love and view point is an issue for us and causes major problems and disruptions in every area of our life. Hmm maybe this is what God has been gently trying to get me to see for some time: Every single thing has an opportunity to learn something about Love and God?…

Peter & Eloisa

We left the Personal Truth Session feeling encouraged and inspired to really work on all the stuff that prevents us from being emotionally close all of the time and loving one another as God Loves. Also we are observing it is very difficult to create when there is emotional unrest, bickering, competition and untruth within our relationship.

The most exciting part of listening and learning about God’s Truth in regards to Partner Relationships is that when everything feels really terrible we now have ways – that work – to actually work through our personal issues so that we can at least be friends rather than competitors and enemies all the time.

We realised that so often we are attacking ourselves or each other – which in reality is our selves if we are one soul (soul mates) – and so we are really causing a lot of pain and hurt towards our soul and this actually needs to stop if we are to actually grow and love.

Issues of Love are the most important and the very first areas that need to be given our utmost attention. We must resolve issues of Love immediately, it is of utmost importance and I observe that I often skip over issues of Love without actually understanding the full consequences of doing so. I observe that I have been avoiding resolving issues of Love and avoiding engaging and wholeheartedly embracing them and learning the lessons of Love God has been desiring to teach me.

Thank you so much Jesus and Mary for your time and having us as guests in your beautiful studio! Also for being an example of a relationship that is constantly changing for the better. You are both so wonderfully inspiring and we are so grateful for your friendship, spiritual, emotional, practical, business, and pretty much all encompassing advice in so many areas!

Thanks also to Lena and Igor for your time in filming and editing and to all those involved in producing the Divine Truth videos and data! It is such an awesome gift and opportunity for learning for those who desire to do so.

Pete and I are discovering that what we think is important and what God feels is important are often two different things which is demonstrated by the Law of Attraction in our lives every moment of every day. As Jesus says, (paraphrased) we are going to need to come to realize that our personal opinions are probably wrong and in the scheme of things don’t matter, rather it is God’s opinion and view on Love and any given situation that matters, and we need to find out why we are in disharmony with God, and why we often are even fighting with God to hold onto our wrong opinions! (obviously if your opinion is the same as God’s you won’t have any issues, but we are finding that our opinions are often opposite to God’s opinions and it has been causing a lot of pain, hurt and anguish between us.)

Directing our focus towards God’s Truth on any matter rather than our own opinion about Love is going to be so helpful if we truly engage it!

So we have the tools to now bring our personal relationship with each other into harmony with God’s Love. Our utmost thanks to God’s Messengers of Truth!!!

20150930 potential school, kids thought that learning in and under these trees would be super fun

We also have  some really exciting potential opportunities that we are beginning to research, plan and get advice on. We are  keen, with some other like minded souls, to create a God’s Way of Love Education Centre, including an Eco-Centre, a vegan Farm, an example school some time in the future, Education programs based on things we are learning, to name a few ideas we are working on. All of these will be based on Principles of God’s Truth and we are most grateful to Jesus and Mary for their advice and suggestions.

We have much to learn and the intention of setting up these projects is for the purpose of us and others (if they desire) to learn about Love, grow our souls in Love and find out where we are out of harmony with God’s Way, why this is and then engage the emotional process in order to refine our souls and grow towards God. More to come on these projects in future.

Obviously we are in the planning stages and have a whole heap of ‘great ideas’ that are in their infancy and planning stages, they have yet to become a reality and they will take some time to get up and running. We are in the process of learning a lot of new and exciting things as we begin to research and plan. So in reality we will see where these ideas lead over the next few years.

I was feeling quite excited about the new direction of our life and possible potentials and thought I would share some of our ideas, smile.


Questions from the Partner Relationship FAQ series:

I suggest watching the Partner Relationship clips to really get the most out of these questions and actually understand what the questions are really asking, but for your information they are below.

    1. What does love do?
    2. What does God’s (Pure) Love do?
    3. Do I REALLY want to love God’s Way?
    4. “What would love do?”
  1. I will ask from my own perspective:
  • What would my love for myself motivate me to do for myself?
  • What would my love for my partner motivate me to do for my partner?
  • What do I feel my partner’s love for his or her self would motivate them to do for his or her self?
  • What do I feel my partner’s love for me would motivate them to do for me?

2. My partner would ask from his or her own perspective:

  • What would my love for myself motivate me to do for myself?
  • What would my love for my partner motivate me to do for my partner?
  • What do I feel my partner’s love for his or her self would motivate them to do for his or her self?
  • What do I feel my partner’s love for me would motivate them to do for me?

Principles

In my experience living by fear, (false) belief systems, addictions, resistance, rage, our emotional injuries and errors etc limits our possibilities, it limits our desires, it limits us from loving with our whole heart, it limits us from receiving. Living by our emotional injuries shrivels us.

I had a realisation about God’s Truth and Love. They are gifts that have the potential to create permanent positive change across entire universes, many souls at a time (though this is up to each individual soul to embrace themselves and cannot be done without their Free Will, personal desire and humility involved).

Love and God’s Truth are worth standing for and under some circumstances recently I have chosen to honour what Love would do and I have honoured God’s Truth, even when I was afraid, and what I realised was that if I did that in every single interaction that change is not only possible it is certain. It might not be world change – yet – but it gave me the opportunity to change in my life, because for a brief moment I realised that Love is wonderful and has the ability to heal. I realised that standing for Love and God’s Truth rather than self-absorbedly honouring my fears opened my world up, it gave me something to grow towards and it felt good.

This is when I began reflecting on principles. Honouring Love and God’s Truth rather than my emotional error, no matter how I feel, no matter how scared I am, no matter how seemingly futile the situation is to me, when I honour Love and God’s Truth something good always comes of it. I noticed that when I did this I wasn’t as self absorbed, my fear didn’t rule in that moment, it was there but it wasn’t dictating because God’s Truth was different to my own (what a relief) and in honouring Truth & Love, feeling how I felt in the moment change occurred, I felt more positive about the situation even though it didn’t ‘feel nice’.

I am noticing that God gives me what seems like infinite opportunity to learn, to grow, to feel and to change  (I do not always notice, recognise or accept these gifts yet, but I am beginning to see them more frequently and feel the pain of regret in not embracing some of those I recognise I rejected). The one thing God can’t do for me is feel it for me, that is the bit I need to do, to use my will to passionately grow a desire to ‘feel all my emotions all of the time*’.

I feel excited about how Love creates change and that standing for Principles of God’s Truth, lovingly, always brings about positive outcomes one reason being you are acting in harmony with God’s Laws which in my experience so far is always a good thing!

Responding to Spirit Attack: A Letter

Hi All,

This is re-blogged from a dear friend of mine, Mary. I felt like she wrote this post personally for me (I feel she actually wrote it out of love for all of us who struggle with spirit attack and holding onto our unhealed emotions, but it applies to me so perfectly).

Thank you Mary for encouraging each of us to feel and grow in Love and God’s Truth, for sharing yourself so openly and for having the courage to do so!!!

Enjoy Mary’s post below….

Mary's avatarNotes Along The Way

Hi Jesus and Mary, I am wondering if you would be willing to have a conversation with me by phone or skype. Everything is really ramping up for me, I don’t know if I am on track, if I am being relentlessly attacked by spirits. I have focused on my relationship with God and feeling my endless addictions (I think anyway). I feel it would help me a lot.
Love E____ .

Hi E____,

I’m sorry to hear that you have been struggling with spirit attack lately.

Honestly, at the moment I am struggling with spirit attack myself. I know that it can be really hard, confusing and scary. Here are some things that I’ve noticed:

As I have gotten more connected with myself I have found that many of the things I thought I believed or felt in the past about myself or the world have actually been…

Snow in Kentucky

*This post has been updated

20150712 Sunday

We returned from a trip to Queensland yesterday to a steadily decreasing temperature as we traveled south. We awoke this morning to a light covering of snow all around and the kids getting their snow gear on at 6:30am to build a snowman and chuck snow at us as we emerged from the front door. It is literally freezing, and fun to play in snow. Snow didn’t settle for long, it has all melted away by lunch time. Windy – freezing, we are glad for a toasty fire. We are hoping for more and deeper tomorrow.

What is Divine Truth?

What Is Divine Truth? 

(Click on link above.)

I discovered this on my lovely friend Mary’s blog ‘Notes Along The Way’ today and feel it is a clear, concise and well articulated overview of what Divine Truth is and is not. It has heaps of great information.

I have noticed lately that many of us get caught up in things that are really unimportant in the scheme of things and that our fear dictates strange practices, thoughts, justifications and lots of other behaviours instead of going back to what it is all about:

Growing a relationship with God and an important part of this is getting to know our own soul and growing in Love and discovering God’s Laws – all very exciting and possible.

A great source for anyone who has never heard of Divine Truth and is interested in an overview of Divine Truth; great for checking out if what you thought Divine Truth was is what it really is; and great for getting excited about God, everything about God’s creations and awesomeness, your own soul, Love, God’s Laws, and heaps of other clarifying information.

Anyways it is said very well and in lots of detail on Mary’s blog and I reckon it is well worth reading a number of times to absorb and get the facts straight. From what Mary says it will be updated in future.

Thanks Jesus and Mary for sharing so openly and for being really clear! Love it!

Everyone enjoy!
