I accept the biblical Creation story over Darwin’s Evolution Theory, and therefore acknowledge that all of life is interconnected through the Supreme Spirit of Life (God, Allah, Yahweh), Whose energy flows through all living things, thereby linking all human beings to Him/Herself, (see Spiritual & Religious) the governing environment, and to one-another. The Creation story supports the fact that there is a brother/sisterhood of all mankind, and the fact that each one of us has a responsibility to respect and protect one another, while being good stewards of the Earth
Our connection to God, to others and to life as a whole is through God’s Spirit, the animating force that gives and sustains all of life. Through our connection to God’s Spirit, each one of us has direct access to God’s eternal source of love, wisdom and power, by way of our spiritual body (soul, emotions and mind, including our conscience, will and thoughts), and the spirit within us. It is this knowledge, together with the information available to us through God’s word in The Book of Psalms, The Book of Proverbs and the New Testament (especially that within the four Gospels), that gives us an understanding of God’s perfect plan for mankind and how we are able to fulfill His plan. God’s perfect plan for mankind is to: 1. Love God first and foremost, and 2. Love others in the manner we also would like to be loved. (The Golden Rule) These are the two new commandments given to mankind by Jesus Christ between 27-29AD, (MATTHEW 22:35-40)
In other words, as we connect to God, we are able to more fully connect to our self and to others through love (God) (see Spiritual & Religious) and it is this love that sustains health and wellbeing within our emotional and psychological makeup (self), harmony between self and others, and has the power to generate peace on Earth. This peace needs to start within our self, with a sense of worth and contentment, and from this place of inner peace we can then more effectively generate peace around us through our relationships with others; the most vital of all human relationships being the parent/child relationship.
Therefore, violence, aggression, substance abuse, addictions, and physical, emotional, mental, verbal, sexual, social and/or financial abuse, (all of which have the potential to generate mental illness, severe depression, chronic fear & anxiety, and even suicide, which in turn serve to separate us from our emotional pain), have no place in God’s perfect plan for mankind.
The challenge for mankind is to work together in order to reach a common understanding of the purpose of life on Earth and to enable each and every human being to live the very best life possible while developing their gifts and talents and contributing to life in a manner that will help the world to become a better place for future generations. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 TIMOTHY 1:7).

Welcome to the Voice of Hope!
I invite you to explore the information I have placed on this website and trust the exploration will heighten your desire to gain greater insight into the inter-connecting links (internally and externally) between the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, the religious, the environment and all other aspects of life. It is this knowledge that gives us insight into the purpose of life and which in turn leads to inner peace and contentment, thereby contributing to our total wellbeing.
Through my work I promote 21st century, holistic, health, embracing body, mind, spirit and soul, based on (1) the fact that we have both a physical body and a spiritual body, [“There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.” (1 CORINTHIANS 15:44)], (2) the fact that all of life is sacred, and (3) the fact that every human being is of equal worth.
