THE MESSAGE

Transcribed on 4th October 2022 @ 1:10am

Good evening. Thank you for joining us. Of course we knew in advance you would drop in tonight. There are five of us here tonight. Nobody is new, everyone has been here at least once before.

Mary would like to speak to you this evening, so I will hand you over to her now. Be patient and don’t predict ahead of what she says. Thank you.

[Mary takes over the conversation]

Hello Trevor, it’s lovely to have this opportunity to talk to you. I have done this several times before and I always enjoy the experience.

What I wanted to talk about was a few of the things I wish I’d done better when I was living on earth. The first one I want to mention is my personal use of time. In the job I did I took it very seriously and devoted much of my time to doing it to the best of my ability. But in doing so, I lived life with blinkers on, not appreciating all the other wonderful things I could have been doing instead. Trevor, use your time productively. It [time] really is a precious gift and won’t always be there for you on earth.

The second thing I wished I’d done more of it, spending time in the fresh air. My job meant I didn’t get outside much. I could have, and should have. I always wanted to paddle in the cold water in a stream, hug a tree, and spend time listening to the different bird songs. So, take my advice, get outdoors as much as you can. The air is purer than the stale air indoors.

Another thing I wish I’d done more of is writing. Now, I know you do a lot of that, so good for you. I yearned to sit on a river bank with a pencil and notebook and write my feelings down. Perhaps you could do that some time. It would be quite therapeutic, I would have thought.

The last thing that I’d like to mention is my personal diet. I didn’t overeat like many people seen to do today. But I didn’t eat at regular times or necessarily the best food I could have chosen. I ate for the purpose of convenience.

Often I thought my choice of food was boring but convenient. The right food in your body will not only fulfil your appetite, but it’ll help with healing and renewal of energy levels. Keep an eye on what you eat.

If you’ll allow me one more please. I wish I’d taken more time to breath the lovely fresh air into my lungs and learned to appreciate the taste of it. Yes you can taste air, if you do it with a deliberate intent.

Well, I hope those little tips will help you. Sometimes the simple ingredients to a fuller life are literally the simple ingredients themselves. Thank you for listening to me this evening. Have you any questions?

[ME] Yes. Surely all of these suggestions would mean a radical change in lifestyle, to put into regular practice, don’t you think?

[MARY] No not really. Everything in proportion my dear. A little here and there is good. Life is also to be enjoyed and should not be an endurance with impossible life regimes. Just little efforts here and there is all that is needed. Thank you for the question though.

I hope you have a wonderful sleep now. Goodnight from us all.
