'For me the 'Spirit of Findhorn' is solidarity but also loving steadfastness. To be available to the person who needs the friendly word, as long as my strength permits. It is holding a hand, but if necessary also refusing it, keeping a close watch. Because it is also knowing when to say No.
'For me it is living spiritually in continuous contact with the Divine within me, but with my feet firmly grounded. For me it is trying to improve myself more every day, always trying to behave as my Divine Self suggests.' Giovanna Bonvicini

Suppose the era of peace, justice, abundance, the ‘new age’ of love and light, of joy and laughter is here right now! Suppose that this is it, that you’re a part of it, that we’re creating it! Suppose that all the forces of heaven and creation itself are available to assist us in the process! Roger Doudna in Findhorn Today 1987 (pages 6 and 7).

This is a terrible paradox, isn’t it? What greater frustration can there be for a human than to be told: this is who you really are — and you cannot be it; you can become it, but you are going to have to work at it.' William Bloom in an extract from his book: First Steps, An Introduction To Spiritual Practice. See more.
