Death Is The Greatest Illusion

Quote Title: Osho Rajneesh

Death is the greatest illusion
We never cease to exist
It’s just our Earthly body
That will be truly missed

We are pure eternal Beings
A part of our Creator, Source
The most used name is God
Some doubt this, of course

It takes an open mind
Not limiting by old belief
To realise the simple truth
There is no need for grief

Just by sending out a thought
Our loved ones are close by
Though in another dimension
Not floating around in the sky!

We live in a 3D world
All linear in time and space
A beginning and an end
For all the human race

However, humans are evolving
Moving into a world of 5D
And from that new perspective
Other dimensions we can see

Trina Graves – 31st December 2021


About This Poem

Sympathy poems are where I began my own Spiritual Path in this life 30 years ago, and are one of the topics I most enjoy writing about, I often wonder if my surname had any sway in this!

I have chosen this poem to add this week as my ex-mother-in-law passed a few days ago. My marriage ended not long after my path began, infact, my immerging Spiritual Beliefs were one of the things that caused probems with my ex. I share this because although I hardly ever saw this wonderful lady after the split, I always felt that the physical bond was not needed to continue the love shared. Along the lines of the theme of this poem, from the Higher Perspective we are One and are never apart.

I had known her since I was six years old as my parents were friends, eventually marrying her son she became an absolutely wonderful grandmother to my children and taught me many lessons through her example.

I Bless her on her journey and know we will one day meet again and can celebrate the experiences we shared in this lifetime.

New Earth: The Gift Of Free Choice

Quote Title: Kryon-Lee Carroll – ‘The Gift Of Free Choice’

In the Divine Light of New Earth
Free choice is truly a gift
Given from God, the All-That-Is
For humanity’s consciousness to lift

Each and every single Soul
Has the Power within to choose
Their focus and reality
There is no ‘win or loose’

For everything is an experience
We come to Earth to create
Evolving through each life
Living through love or hate

Even in the old Earth energies
Free choice was absolute
God would not override
Whether colossal or minute

In 3D Earth, dense duality
The opposites led the way
Good or bad, the positive and negative
Which would attract the people to sway?

Thoughts and beliefs were manipulated
Feeding the dark ones, making them strong
But Old Souls of countless lifetimes
To the Earth began to throng

Gathering for the Great Awakening
Shining their Divine Light filled rays
Aligned with Source within
Is their free choice always

The Light overpowered the darkness
Uncovering the extent of their control
Unable to hide with the abundance of Light
Releasing the power they stole

The seeming battle of the Light and Dark
Prominent for those who Awoke
Throughout the plandemic worldwide
Revelations made many heart-broke

But from the New Earth perspective
In 5D there is no ‘end’ of life
It’s all an experience we come to live
Learning through all peace and strife

The tragedy and great loss of life
The evil and Satanic revealed
All had to be shown to humanity
To eliminate and truly be healed

Trina Graves – 4th June 2021


About This Poem

In our 3D dense reality the idea that God/Source/The-All-That-Is gives us free will to choose whether to do good or evil would seem nonsense. However, from a Higher Perspective it is the only way we can experience and learn from our choices to enable us to raise our consciouness over lifetimes to eventually embody our true selves of Love and Light,

As each day, week and month that passes in this crazy times we are living in, more and more people are Awakening to the truth of how we have all been manipulated throughout our whole lifetime. We have always had free choice in how to live our lives, but the greater majority have always been trained to ‘follow the herd’ by all of our corrupt systems, which are now crumbling as the Light has overpowered the darkness and we are in the process of creating our New Earth.

Made In The Image Of God

Quote Title: Kryon-Lee Carroll
“Made in the image of God, and that image is Love.”
“Love is not a word, or just a feeling, it is a power source! It is energy”

Made In The Image Of God
Perfectly magnificent in every way
Pure and innocent at birth
On Earth to experience each day

Made In The Image Of God
To be Divine expressions
Through the ups and downs of life
Aiming for Higher dimensions

Made In The Image Of God
The image a powerful Source
Not just a word or feeling
It is the ultimate force

Made In The Image Of God
Of unconditional Love, so pure
An encompassing energy of life
Fundamentally it is our core

Trina Graves – 31st July 2021


About This Poem

A constant theme of Kryon (channelled through Lee Carroll) is of how we are not aware of how magnificent we all are, so much more powerful than we can imagine.

With what has occurred over the past two years it is becoming more and more known of how humanity has been manipulated and dumbed down throughout our lives (and the lives of those before us).

The ones who had gained control of all the systems never wanted any of us to be aware of our true power. We are the Creators of our world, so by keeping our attention focused on fear/lack/survival they aimed to gain total control over our lives.

Each day the Light becomes stronger as more people come to realise that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for. In unity, we will create our New Earth of Love & Light, the darkness cannot exist with the strength of our combined Light, for we are “Made in the image of God, perfectly magnificent in every way!

Armour Of God

A Spiritual war is going on
Though most people don’t know
Blinkered by the plandemic
And the fake media don’t show

Good vs evil is the basis
Love and compassion for all
Or, totally controlling the masses
Causing humanity to fall

Those who don’t accept
Or not open-minded to perceive
We are all Spiritual Beings
Will find it the hardest to believe

Also, man-made religions manipulate
Their followers worldwide
Rarely teaching the truth
In humans, God is inside

The war is already won
Out of linear time
Light eliminates dark
Showing all of their crime

We are living our part
In the war playing out
Warriors of Truth
We will win, no doubt!

Put on your Armour Of God
To protect and claim
Your stance in this war
Peace on Earth your aim

With the Sword Of Truth
Cutting through all lies
And The Shield Of Knowledge
No compromise

The Mantle: Spirit Of God
Claiming your Divinity brings
With The Body Armour:
The Wisdom Of God In All Things

Trina Graves – 18th December 2020


About This Poem

For anyone with a questioning mind it is becoming more and more evident that the narrative pursued by the governments and media worldwide is about manipulating and controlling people. Those who have questioned the contradicting and highly censored mainstream information and have taken the time to research will have discovered that the story being told to the masses is a complete lie!

Slowly the truth is being drip-fed into the mainstream and at some point (hopefully very soon) we will reach the tipping point and will be witness to either the mainstream speaking more truth than lies or their total collapse if they continue to block what is really going on worldwide.

New Earth: Know & Affirm

Based on teaching of Sacha Stone

In old Earth’s duality
Our anchors were faith and hope
To survive the storms of life
In trusting these we could cope

Doing our best to be positive
No matter what comes our way
Being calm our hopeful stance
As negativity hit each day

In New Earth’s Higher rays
We claim our Divine Power
Magnificent creative Beings
We are the only allower

Seeing from a Higher perspective
Hope and faith allow a lack
Giving away our control
To another power having our back

Using our aligned intuition
And standing strong in our knowing
We truly empower ourselves
Our Divine spark is glowing

Affirming from that stance
‘I AM’ words Blessed, creative
Expressing our true essence
God within us each day we live

I know I AM the Love
I know I Am the Light
I know I AM Sovereign
I know I AM shining bright

I know I AM a part of God
I know I AM a powerful Being
I know I AM creating it all
I know I AM reflecting what I’m seeing

I know I AM part of it ALL
I know I AM ONE in Unity
I know I AM a Spiritual Being
I know I AM eternally free

17th December 2020


About This Poem

Hope and faith were a very important part of anyone’s attitude of the past, these were what would help us get through our lives especially when faced with difficulties and hardship. However, as humanity is now raising our vibration and consciousness higher we need to move on from these old ways of thinking.

When I listened to Sacha Stone talking about this last year it really ‘sang true’ to me and I knew it was an important aspect to write a poem about. In my series of poems ‘Affirming The Classics’ I have been re-writing old poems and hymns to make them affirmations, so this poem fits well with those too.

I am now compiling a new collection called New Earth these poems are written from the perspective of us already living in New Earth (or 5D) and looking back on how things were (or still are for many in our current 3D world of duality.) The Law of Attraction teaches us that we create our own reality and the only way it works is to put your focus and attention on what you want to create, regardless of what you may see all around us!

With Thee – I Let It Be

Affirming The Classics: Take My Life And Let It Be
Frances Ridley Havergal

With my life, I let it be
Consecrated, Lord, with Thee
With my moments and my days
They now flow in Divine ways

With my hands, I let them move
At the impulse of Thy Love
With my feet, I let them be
Aligned on my path with Thee

With my voice, I clearly sing
Always, only truth I bring
With my words, I let them be
Filled with Love, Light and Beauty

With my treasures I declare
To ever give, always to share
With my intellect, I choose
Pure Divine power to use

With my freewill, God given
I live on Earth as Heaven
With my Heart, at core my Soul
Bringing Peace, and Love my goal

With my Love, and radiant Light
I only see with Source sight
I Am Sovereign, always free
God eternally in me

Trina Graves – 11th November 2020


About This Poem

With myAffirming The Classicscollection I update older poems and hymns to make them read more positive and as affirmations.

In this re-write the main difference is in claiming our own Divine Power rather than the old vibrational perspective of giving our power away, and asking for help. Although the asking is requesting to the Highest Source, it creates our reality that this Source is outside of ourselves.

Original hymn:

Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise

Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee

Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee

Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose

Take my will, and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart, it is Thine own
It shall be Thy royal throne

Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all, for Thee

Frances Ridley Havergal 1836 – 1879

Switch Off!

Switch off those repeats
We’ve seen them all before
The story doesn’t change
We just embed them more

Repeating doesn’t develop
Our minds to seek and grow
Stagnant or little flowing
Evolution remains slow

Change is a part of life
Constantly unfolding, if we let
Higher Wisdom be our goal
Not building a dam to set

Switch off those old programmes
They are all in the past
Old stories, old ideas
Not meant to ever-last

Switch off mainstream news
So well-known to be fake
High drama, pushing, selling
Little truth in stories they make

Controlled by dark forces
Pushing an agenda worldwide
The presenters often caught
In a web of deceit they abide

Switch off social media
Unless we strongly discern
Filtering out the lies and hate
Peace and love our only concern

Sharing, supporting humanity
In joyful, compassionate ways
Ever mindful of our presence
Giving Love throughout our days

Trina Graves – 30th August 2020


About This Poem

In 2018 I wrote ‘Pull The Plug’ which covered several aspects I believed needed erasing or limiting in our everyday lives (news, adverts, gossip etc..). Another poem developed out of this (as I had too much on one subject,) ‘The Vision Box.’ This new poem extends this theme and brings a focus to what is so evident now in this new decade.

Because of the plandemic many millions of people have come to realise that the mainstream media is fake news. Those who have delved more deeply into the subject have found that our televisions have been programming us all along! I believe that very soon the rest of the population of Earth will be shown this truth. It will be a hard pill to swallow for the many who have never questioned what is shown on the news and so called ‘documentaries.’ And a great shock to discover how depraved many ‘celebraties’ have stooped for fame.

Also social media is now showing how manipulative and controlling it is. At the moment anyone who goes against the media’s narrative is silenced. They will soon be taken down and will not remain in New Earth unless they greatly change.

As we step into our New Earth we need to consciously create Higher Vibrational movies, series, documentaries, social media platforms etc.. bringing positivity and joy to all those who choose to indulge their time in them. However, with a Higher Vibrational energy of the people, I believe many will choose to limit such things from their life.

Be Love, Seek Joy - Trina Graves, Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Opening The Door

We are born with freewill
Always connected to Source
Spirit within and without
But we choose our own course

Before birth we plan
If this life will ever be
One of Spiritual connection
Flowing so beautifully

Children often sense Spirit
But most will let it go
As they grow into adults
Adapting to society’s flow

Our destiny though planned
Is affected by Earth’s duality
It can block and negate
From its overwhelming density

Even if this happens
Spirit will never leave
We are never alone
No matter what we believe

Angelic Beings and Guides
Ascended Masters and more
Await the joyous moment
That we might open our door

Our own Higher Self
Also plays a part
To bring our awareness
To focus on Heart

Opening our mind to more
Than physical senses perceive
Begins an epic journey
Changing all we conceive

************************

My journey had started
When I opened my mind
Questioning and searching
Awareness I did find

Bringing me to my moment
Of opening my door
Sat alone, at home
13th January in ‘94

Reading my full notebook
Of positive quotes, so uplifting
With pictures of my children
Always made my Heart sing

I had tried meditation
Just a few times before
I’d recently read a tip
To encourage you more

– Think of the happiest
You have ever been –
For me, that was easy
My blissful memory scene

Holding my newborn baby
Looking deep into their eyes
Unconditional Love overwhelming
Divine Awareness multiplies

Re-living this moment
Brought tears to flow
Exquisite joy surfacing
From a memory long ago

Then following my intuition
Without giving it a thought
I asked in my mind a question
An immediate answer was brought

“Is there any Being present
Of Love and the Light?”
With no pause at all
I lit up so bright!

A rush waved through my body
Of Love and Peace so Divine
Growing stronger each moment
Pure ecstasy, sublime

Then my humanness crept in
“What does this meam?”
The intensity melted away
Though I still felt serene

For several more days
I floated on a High
Full of Love and Peace
Easing off as days went by

For many years I wondered
What truly happened that day
I knew it was Spirit connection
But with who? I couldn’t say

It was only last year
That clarity came to me
With the teachings of Kryon
Truth in pure simplicity

I’d raised my vibration
And asked from my Heart
I opened my door to Source
My connection could start

So obvious once I ‘knew’
I’d requested from freewill
Giving my permission to allow
God to instil

We are all powerful Beings
Of God, one-and-all
But God gave us freewill
To sense or block His call

Trina Graves – 14th December 2020


About This Poem

I have many of my earlier experiences explained since I began reading and listening to Kryon through Lee Carroll. (eg. The Eclipse)

Four months after what happened in this poem I was given a message at a Spiritualist Church to write everything down (My Catalyst) which over the years led me to write poems of my experiences.

Whether we ‘open our door’ or not in this lifetime, Source and all Beings of Love are with us and will never judge us, their Love is eternally unconditional.

Be Love, Seek Joy - Trina Graves, Spiritual Quotes To Live By

No Limits

My Vision: 9th October 2015

Only two days had gone by
When I felt the urge to try
Another visit in my mind
To my guide, Lovingly kind

We were high up, overlooking the sea
I thanked James for guiding me
Gratitude for his compassionate care
Knowing his presence is always there

We then transported to a wood
Surrounded by nature, we stood
Taking in the beauty and sound
Trees, birds and flowers all around

James then made me aware
That I was not really there
Still at the beach, in my head
And in my body, laying in bed

Hearing the ticking of my clock
Simultaneous with waves on a rock
Birds tweeted around the wood’s stream
Blended together, what did this mean?

The next moment I was a child
A girl playing outside, running wild
Then an adult man, I became
Was I one-and-the-same?

Immediately I was an old lady dying
I felt the release, no more trying
I flowed to the Love, All-Encompassing
Remembering the Joy it did bring

These experiences passed in a blink
Giving me no time to stop and think
I just knew James was showing me
There are No Limits to ‘Be’

I made some notes in my journal
Knowing this guidance was eternal
On Time and dimensional sight
Divine perspective shows the Light

This visit, very strange and odd
Different from all others, I’d trod
And now four years have passed
I understand it better, at last

For time is not linear at all
It’s just how us humans can recall
And live in Earth’s dense duality
Limiting our pure Divinity

But in the New Energies now pour
And if you have unlocked your door
To allow your Awakening to begin
Your Divinity will start to sing

Trina Graves – 14th January 2020


About This Poem

This was certainly the most extra-ordinary of all my vision/visualizations.. (so far!) It happened very quickly and I didn’t really think much of it at that time, five years ago, but thank goodness I did write it down.

As you can see, I wrote the poem at the beginning of this year, a little before the craziness began. I believe the last two verse are very relevant to this, never before, time we are in. The ‘New Energies’ that have enabled us to reach enough of a Higher Vibration to change our world for the better, have this year amped up, and as each day passes more and more people are Awakening.

Many channellers speak of their complete certainity that we have already ‘won’ the battle of dark vs Light in non-linear time, we just have to keep on keeping on to reach this momentous point when the New Day will dawn where Peace, Love, Compassion, Truth, Light and Joy will be the focus of the greatest majority of humanity.

Update 4th June – The Great Awakening

As you can read above, this was one of my visions that I understood better after some years had passed. As with another vision poem (The Answers Are Within) it was written just before the PLANdemic started, but now has more significance with The Great Awakening going on where we are discovering we are powerful Spiritual Beings, time is not linear and together we are creating our New Earth of Love, Light, Truth, Peace & Joy.

The I Am Prayer

Affirming The Classics: The Lord’s Prayer

All-That-Is, God, The I AM Energy,
Known by many names: All One Source…
Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent.
Physical and non-physical dimensions are United in Oneness.

I Am thankful for the abundance You eternally provide.
I Am thankful for Your gift of freewill to choose my own way.
I Am choosing to be open-Hearted to Your Presence and guidance.
I Am living the way of: Love, Light, Peace, Compassion, Forgiveness and Joy.

I Am a particle of You, as we all are.
I Am in Your Kingdom, respectfully alongside many other forms of life.
I Am Your Love and Light.
I Am consistently radiating this to wherever it is needed.

I Am United in Your Power and Glory, in this life, and throughout Eternity.
I Am Blessed and Divine.
I Bless and acknowledge the Divinity in all things.

I Am Joyous as each moment unfolds to bring the Highest Good for the All,
In Eternal Oneness.
Amen

Trina Graves – 28th March 2019


About This Prayer

For my ‘Affirming The Classics’ series of poems I wanted to bring old well-known poems and hymns up-to-date by using more positive wording and turning them into affirmations.

One of these was The Lord’s Prayer: In Oneness, but after writing it I knew I needed to do another version not so literally based on the original. Knowing that the words ‘I AM’ powerfully pronounce the presence of God Within, I knew this would be the basis of my alternative version.

I posted the first one just over a year ago and have wondered many times why this one has never seemed to ‘ready’ to post. However, now I am much more aware of Diving Timing, I knew one day the ‘time’ would be right.

Since writing this prayer our entire world has changed. Many more people are now coming to the awareness that what is happening around our planet is nothing to do with a ‘virus,’ but about the uncovering of the devastating corruption and truly evil things that have been kept hidden from the masses for so very long. It is because of our raising vibration that this is happening, the darkness can no longer hide. But as more of this depravity comes into our awareness I believe it is important to continually acknowledge and proclaim our own truth of God Within and our intention to follow the path of Love and Light.

The I Am Prayer by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Omniscient = knowing everything

I am compiling poems to add to the category and a book of ‘The Great Awakening,’ I believe it is vital to include as much positivity as possible with words we can use to affirm our power and Divinity, as we unite to bring the Highest Good for All and create our New Earth of Love, Light, Compassion, Peace and Joy.

My Catalyst

Messages From Mediums
Spiritualist Church, Witney – 29th May 1994

I’d been only a few times before
With each, I’d enjoyed it more
First spoken to, at the last one
My Spirit messages had begun

Now the medium was named Caycee
My mother was there too, beside me
“The name Williams can anyone take?”
But the surname link we failed to make

No one accepted, she let it go
Then came to me, with evidence to show
“I have a man who is here for you
With terrible breathing problems too”

As she stood leaning over the table
With no doubt, I was easily able
To see the exact position he was in
Just to be able to continue breathing

Caycee described well his personality
“Direct and forcefull,” is what you see
On the outside a very hard shell
But soft inside, I’d come to know well

My oldest uncle, stern and tall
As a child I didn’t know at all
Of his gentler and softer side
From his aloofness I would hide

In a male dominated world
His own life had uncurled
Brothers, and sons of three
I felt no closeness to me

Grown and on my special day
He had something new to say
“You can now have a kiss”
My wedding, I, no longer a Miss

A very successful business man
Working hard was his plan
Knicknamed Mr Unipart
He was known by many a heart

A sign of the times was his way
Smoking many cigarettes every day
Eventually developing terrible disease
His life no longer was a breeze

Leaving work, he would often spend
Days with me and guidance lend
In a home-office with my Dad
Family business, where fun was had

I got to know of his love of family
Not often shown at all physically
The old ways, men were kept apart
Told it’s a weakness showing heart

His health deteriorated rather fast
He died at home, peaceful at last
After struggling so hard for breath
He was ready to move on to death

At his funeral two poems were shared
In my life a turning point declared
From that moment on I began to seek
My Spiritual path, individual, unique

Now just over two years gone by
It was him no doubt, I couldn’t deny
His words for me would deeply instil
To set my course, opening up a skill

“Write everything down, keep it sorted
Business-like, evidence reported
Someday in your future you will need
Your written words… you will succeed”

Then my mum was spoken to
His sense of humour shining through
More evidence for us plain to see
He had visited her home clearly

“You have home improvements going on”
(A bathroom conversion, he was not wrong)
“I’ve had a laugh, as I check and look
Perhaps another builder you should book”

That’s not funny, you might say
Unless you know of our family way
My Dad employed my brothers and me
In his Builders and Decorators: G & G

With the strong evidence so overwhelming
I heeded the advice and started to bring
Notes together, writing more when I could
Being sorted I enjoyed and understood

Three years later, writing a new baby card
Words flowed so easily, it wasn’t hard
But not intended when I sat to write
For my first grandchild, a pure delight

I never gave the poem, putting it away
Now I know I began my truth that day
Over the years many more would flow
As my Spiritual calling began to grow

Wisdom kept from living family life
Ups and downs, calmness and strife
Daughter, Wife, Mother, Grandmother too
Different perspectives I’ve gone through

Always seeking the Spiritual side
On this journey I loved to ride
In 99’ a vision came to me
So I wrote notes down, clearly

Over the years many visions I wrote
As my imagination would drift, float
In 2016 I was guided to write and share
‘Insight,’ my first experience, becoming Aware

I thought that would be the only one
My visions not relevant for everyone
Three years later a reveal for me
Of who I was meeting by the sea

Given a new meaning of ‘Footprints’
I also began to see the many hints
All culminating to show me my way
My visions I was meant to display

New and old ones I began to write
With my notes to get them right
What I thought personal to me
Blogging, others inspired to see

Divine Timing has played a part
As I share what’s in my heart
Posting my poems randomly
Others find meaning so clearly

Ken Williams, my uncle by birth
I spent not much time with on Earth
Now the grand part that he played
I now easily see, the path we laid

Hidden depths of family love
Messages from his Spirit above
“Write everything down,” he wisely told
Now worth more to me than pure gold

I Bless and thank him abundantly
His presence in my life, I now see
As a catalyst bringing me to be Aware
Of my true path I came here to share

Trina Graves – 6th June 2020


About This Poem

Reflecting back on our lives it can be so interesting to see those people who might not have been a large part of our life, but who had an immense impact.

My Uncle Ken had not been in my life very much really compared to others. And I should point out that he was not a religious man, I don’t even know what his beliefs were. So it’s quite strange that it was at his funeral that my Spiritual Path definitely began! As I mention in my poem, at his funeral two sympathy poems were handed around, these were ‘Death Is Nothing At All’ by Henry Scott Holland and ‘I Am Standing On The Seashore’ by Luther F. Beecher. I was fascinated by these, and from then onwards I began to collect inspirational quotes and poems. I was particularly drawn to sympathy poems and found many of them to be uplifing.

From this simple start I began to look for more than just novels when I went to the library (pre-internet days!) I can now clearly see how the Law Of Attraction or synchronicity began to bring me the perfect books to learn more!

I’d known of the Christian Spiritualist Churches as my mother and some of her siblings had gone to services when I was younger. As mentioned, this was my second visit. I only went to services for a few years, not regularly, but this was the strongest evidence I ever received, at church, for continuation of life after death. The physical and character description were undeniable and over time the advice proved to be a very important part of my life.

Numerology

A few days ago, I worked out my uncles birth number, and was very pleasantly surprised that it is a three, which actually means ‘a catalyst!’ Amazing!!! I then worked out his number for the day he died, an eleven, which is a special number that is not reduced down to a single digit, it means illumination and enlightenment.
Born 31st August 1935 (3+1+8+1+9+3+5 = 30 3+0=3)
Died 25th January 1992 (2+5+1+1+9+9+2 = 29 2+9=11)
I’m now wondering if I was not the only one he was a catalyst for as these are such powerful numbers to have together!


31st August is also the day that Princess Diana died in 1997, also an eleven for illumination and enlightenment.(3+1+8+1+9+9+7 = 38 3+8 =11)
I truly believe Diana was murdered, her death truly shocked the world and I am sure led many people to begin to question so much of what we are told is the ‘truth.’ It certainly opened my eyes!

part of poem 'My Catalyst' by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Divine Timing

Our physical lives are linear
Is evidently, plainly true
With many stages of our growth
Counting years all the way through

Baby, child, teen, adult
Some years fast, some are slow
Always in a set linear pattern
Is the physical life we know

But we are not just physical
It’s not even our primary part
Our bodies are just the vehicle
We have lived in from our start

Our true self is our Soul
Here to experience duality
A Magnificent Spiritual Presence
That on Earth is hard to see

Over millennia Masters have come
To live a life, showing the way
Love, Compassion, God within
Heart of Light, human feet of clay

Walking the Earth can be hard
If we know not of the Light
Our Core inside, a part of God
Brings definition, clarity of sight

Opening up to God within
Begins the journey we came for
At this momentous time on Earth
Greater numbers, as never before

Many lifetimes paving the way
Leading to this time and place
Souls of God, here to witness
The evolution of the human race

As a species we’ve grown up
Enough in numbers to herald change
The mass Awakening to the evidence
‘We are Spirit first,’ is no longer strange

Surrendering to God within
Allowing Spirit to guide our way
Synchronicity flows consistently
Love, Light and Joy fills every day

Understanding of our present life
Becomes much easier to reflect
What we’ve learned from it all
Honing our Spiritual Intellect

Diving Timing shows it’s hand
The game of life is not linear
Perception now to read the rules
The fun to have becomes so clear

Seeds are always being planted
As we grow throughout our years
Unlike nature, there’s no season
In Divine Time the flower appears

Trina Graves – 11th March 2020


About This Poem

When I sat to write this poem my aim was to write about Divine Timing, but when I’d finished it was not the poem I intended, so I saved it and never gave it a name. It was also written before the current events really ‘hit’ the UK and my awareness, as for many years I have not watched or listened to any mainstream media.

At the beginning of April I wrote several poems regarding the pandemic and as I like to keep my poems in order by mid-April I thought I’d better take a look at this one and either delete it (as I remembered it didn’t seem to make much sense) or name it. Obviously, I kept it and realised it did fit the original intention, just not in the way I thought it should then…. Divine Timing?!!! 

Over the past year or so I have mentioned Divine Timing many, many times in my ‘About This Poem’ sections and in some of my poems. My original intention with this poem was to write about how my perceptions have changed as I now understand how seeds planted many, many years ago are now flowering just as much as those planted in recent times, or even daily!

When I wrote this I knew we are in the time of the Awakening and that we had stepped up our process of uncovering the darkness that has overshadowed our Earth for countless years. I knew there were going to be revelations that would shock the world, but I certainly never knew to what extent it would shock me too! For many years I have never focused on anything negative as I know of the Law Of Attraction, so I was unsure when my poems began to have negative aspects in them. But, I believe I am guided in my writing so I had to follow through.

As we have gone through recent months I have realised how so much of what I learned years ago (and thought there was not a lot could be done about it) is now so relevant to today’s world. And recent Divine Timing/Synchroniciteies have shown me that I needed to learn more of what is going on to get over the initial shock so that I can write more in the days ahead. 

I know there are millions of people worldwide who are Awake and Aware of much of what is going on, and each day more people are questioning the mainstream media as so much does not make sense in what they portray. We are in the Divine Timing of the GREAT AWAKENING and in Divine Timing the masses will hear their own ‘Alarm Bell’ and WAKE UP!

Update 5th June 2023 – The Great Awakening

When I began compiling this new category for my blog and a book, I made a list of all the suitable poems by reading through them. As some did not stand out as talking about ‘The Great Awakening,’ I decided to do these updates for each one so I could explain why each one is included.

Working my way through these updates, in the date order that the poems were written, I have found it very helpful (especially for the additional information I want to include in the book) reading the ‘About This Poem’ part as I haven’t read these since doing the post. Also, there have been many (before the PLANdemic started) where I have used the term ‘The Great Awakening’.

My original categories for these type of poems were: ‘2020: Apex Of Duality. and ‘LightWorkers,’ but I would often find it difficult to decide which category to use for some poems, especially once we passed 2020! It was in March this year on sorting through my database of poems and combing categories, so there were less, that it seemed so obvious to me these poems should be classified as ‘The Great Awakening.’ I can now see this too was ‘Divine Timing.’

The Face Of God

There is the purest moment
Of time, for all Mothers
Most will feel this Bliss
A Blessing, above all others

Looking into her newborn’s eyes
In their first Loving embrace
Divinity in the purity
Of looking into God’s Face

A fresh, new Spirit of God
Here to live on our Earth
Unconditional Love is felt
At this Joyous time of birth

A peak experience of life
The reflection of God is there
Two Souls aligned with Source
This beautiful moment to share

The newborn, full of Light
Source Energy at full blast
Lifts the Mother’s core
A Divine spell is cast

The Mother is being shown
How much of God, she’s a part
For how she feels right then
Is the Presence of God, at Heart

Nurturing, caring always
Watching as they grow
Living each precious moment
Blessed in the Joy they show

Letting them go to make
Their own world of free-choice
Always patiently waiting
To hear their deLightful voice

Unconditional Love always
No matter what they will do
Always being there, if they ask
Guidance to see them through

Leaving home, but not forever
One day to re-Unite
Even if not on this Earth
All is perfect, ever-bright

The Mother sees with God’s Eyes
The Divine, in her arms and Heart held
But, also the Face of God is looking
At her… It’s the purest meld

Trina Graves – 21st November 2019


About This Poem

The moment I first held my newborn and gazed into their eyes has always been the most treasured memories of my life. I have written several other poems of this (Those Moments I Treasure, When They First Placed You In My Arms, The Greatest Blessings, Now You Know) and this has always been the memory I use to bring forth my strongest feelings of unconditional love.

I knew that I wanted to write another poem of this moment and the title came to me one morning on waking, this happens to me often, so I know it’s one to follow through. I knew what I wanted to portray, but didn’t feel the urge to write it straight away. In 2019 I came across the channellings of Kryon by Lee Carroll and these have brought me a much greater understanding, but also wonderful confirmations of many of my life experiences that I thought I might never know the truth of until I moved out of this physical world. This title and knowing I had of that precious moment of life was confirmed to me by many Kryon teachings that I came across after receiving the title and acknowledging my inner knowing.

Today is Mother’s Day in many parts of our world, and is like no other we have ever experienced. In the UK our Mother’s Day was on 22nd March (the day before we went into official lockdown) and we were advised not to visit our Mothers, so most did not. 

I had planned to add a different poem this weekend as my belief of this time is not the one portrayed in mainstream media, however on waking this morning I knew that this one was the right choice for today.

God Bless all Mothers worldwide and Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate today.

The Face Of God - Spiritual, inspirational poem by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By
My daughter Emma with her firstborn Lucy (2002)

The Eclipse

The first solar eclipse
In my own lifetime
Was on a Wednesday
11th August, 1999

I remember well that day
As something happened to me
But it would be 20 more years
Before the reason, I would see

I had to get up early
But, as I got out of bed
The room began to spin
I felt dizziness in my head

I drove my son to work
Being careful, all the way
Getting back, I laid down
Hoping to rid all the sway

Never feeling this way before
I wondered what it could be
Laying there it got worse
Something was wrong, evidently

It eased after I was sick
But still, I felt not right
I slept, but had an alarm
I didn’t want to miss the sight!

I watched the solar eclipse
In my garden, with my daughter
Going back to bed straight after
With a much needed glass of water

I drifted in and out of sleep
At one time, I heard a name
Then a hand on my shoulder
Their meaning never came

The next day, all was well
And I thought about that day
Making notes in my journal
Why did I feel that way?

I had an inner-knowing
It was not an ‘illness’ at all
But to do with the eclipse
Would understanding ever fall?

Another solar eclipse came
20th March 2015
I wondered, if the same
Experience would be seen

I watched with a neighbour
Taking photos of the sight
Waiting for some oddness
But I was completely alright

And so, I let it go
Thinking I’d never find out
But I still knew that eclipse
Affected me, I had no doubt!

This year I’ve developed
So much more, Spiritually
In an abundance of ways
It’s all been flowing to me

Almost exactly 20 years
Since that first solar eclipse
I learned of the truth
And time’s linearity slips

Reading the teachings of Kryon
I’d only recently found
So many truths revealed
Bringing me clarity, so profound

Kryon’s words of the eclipse
Told of a much needed delivery
Of a new Energy to the planet
Marvellous, Feminine Energy

Bringing balance to the people
And to energize the children
Who’d come with attributes
For humans Spiritual evolution

The planets were aligned
The sun at it’s highest peak
In it’s eleven year cycle
Another 11:11 to truly speak

The date, full of elevens
When using numerology
The year, the total and even
The 11th, everyone can see

Kryon had given this message
A week before the event
For me, reading of this
Was Divine confirmation sent

Trina Graves – 21st November 2019


About This Poem

My intuition was not very strong back in 1999, but I just knew that the strangeness I felt was due to the eclipse. When the next eclipse happened I really did think I would feel something, so I was quite disappointed and wondered why I felt nothing, as I was still sure of my perception of the first time. So, I thought I would never know.

All these years later, to discover that powerful energy was being sent that day to aid our Spiritual Evolution was such a wonderful confirmation to me, not only of my own experience, but of the validity of the teachings of Kryon through Lee Carroll.

I, in no way believe that others who did not have the same dizziness, did not benefit from the energy. I believe that this was to be my own experience of that day, so that I would make a note of it, and all these years later would have this confirmation, bringing me to share my experience with others, as we all go through this Spiritual Evolution together. 

Divine Feminine & Masculine Energy
The Divine Feminine Energy sent that day – and many other times since – has nothing to do with whether we are male of female in this lifetime, but about all humans being more loving and compassionate in all aspects of life. Our planet has been dominated by male energy for eons, but we are heading for a much more balanced way of being.

Numerology
This is another interesting aspect of the Kryon teachings (for me) as I was drawn to numerology many years ago and although I didn’t learn much about it then, I now understand why it caught my attention.

The only thing I kept through the years was a summery of my life path number (27/9) from the book ‘The Life You Were Born To Live’ by Dan Millman. 

The Purpose Of Your Life (27/9)
Trust your heart.
Let your mind surrender to the wisdom of the heart. (wisdom of the heart = intuition)
You need to know and feel spirit within yourself and others.
No matter how well your external life is going,
a part of you will not rest until you’ve realised this truth.

When I first read this, I liked it but didn’t really ‘get it.’ But now, I see so clearly how this is so ME!

I am now learning more about numerology and have been blown away with so many synchronicities! It also makes me realise why I have always dated my poems. I had no idea why I felt compelled to do so, but now looking at the numbers I find it so fascinating!

The number 11, as mentioned in this poem is all about illumination and enlightenment. So many people know of the 11:11 showing up in their lives. A nudge from Spirit for those who choose to notice.  

For me, one of the synchronicities I’ve discovered of the number 11 was that the day my husband left (in 1997, which I was devasted with and still not over when the eclipse occurred) was an 11 (not the day, but a total of the whole date) but, it is only through passing time that I became aware that this was most definitely a much needed experience. And now I know it was indeed for my own illumination and enlightenment.

Holy Spirit, In Me

Affirming The Classics: Holy Spirit, Hear Us – W. H. Parker

Holy Spirit, in me
Infusing as I sing
Breathes into the music
United joy, I bring

Holy Spirit, joins me
Linking when I pray
Always there to teach me
Love, always the way

Holy Spirit, shines on
All I see, and read
Opening my Heart to
The compassion I need

Holy Spirit, lifts me
So that I now find
My way to be like Jesus
Gentle, pure and kind

Holy Spirit, guides me
With pure Divine Light
My true Path is clearer
Using my Source sight

About This Poem

Another hymn to add to my Affirming The Classics collection where I take old inspirational poems and hymns and update the words to make them more positive and into affirmations. I didn’t know of this hymn, but came across it while looking for another one.

Here is the original hymn…

Holy Spirit, hear us
Help us while we sing
Breathe into the music
Of the praise we bring

Holy Spirit, prompt us
When we kneel to pray
Nearer come, and teach us
What we ought to say

Holy Spirit, shine thou
On the book we read
Gild its holy pages
With the light we need

Holy Spirit, give us
Each a lowly mind
Make us more like Jesus
Gentle, pure and kind

Holy Spirit, help us
Daily by thy might
What is wrong to conquer
And to choose the right

W. H. Parker 1845 – 1929

Holy Spirit In Me - Affirming The Classics by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Potential At Birth

The baby in a manger
Looking human and frail
Possessed true Divinity
And came to leave a trail

Known as the Son of God
Born on Earth to inspire
And lead humanity onwards
To evolve Spiritually Higher

He taught in simple ways
The path of Love and Light
Unconditional Forgiveness to all
Not judging wrong or right

What made Him a Master
And different from everyone
Was His aligned Awareness
Since His life begun

Full of potential at birth
As all babies truly are
The Master was Enlightened
Born with a sign of the star

He was fully Aware and Awake
To the All-That-Is within
God’s Essence always present
In each Heart to purely sing

The potential is always there
From the moment of birth
To every single human
Living on this Earth

Freewill to choose when
Or even, not at all
God within, always present
Waiting for your call

With intention and trust
You can unlock the door
To your Divinity within
And let your potential soar!

Trina Graves – 14th December 2019


About This Poem

Throughout 2019 many synchronicities have flowed in my life bringing me to a much greater understanding of just about everything that I’ve ever wanted to know. This culminated a few months ago to me coming across the teachings of Kryon (through Lee Carroll) which not only confirmed other things I’d learned this year, but also gave me answers and clarity to so many experiences in my life. I have written a few poems about some of these (I’ll be posting them soon) and I know I will be writing more!

This poem is about one of the aspects that I now have greater clarity on. Of course, this is my truth, but I know it is not everyone’s truth and in no way do I say, I am right and any other way is wrong. There are a multitude of paths to God.

I have written six new Christmas poems, and will be adding all of them in these last few days before Christmas 2019. I have a link page for my Christmas Poems, if you would like to read more from this year, or previous years.

Happy Christmas to you and all your loved ones
And may you all be Blessed with an abundance of Love, Light & Joy
Now, and as we step into the new energy decade of 2020
Trina ❤  

Potential At Birth - Inspirational Christmas poem by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Update 4th June 2023 – The Great Awakening

A large part of The Great Awakening is in acknowledging God/Source is within each and every Soul, also that we all have freewill to choose whether or not to ‘Awaken’ in this present lifetime. The Potential is present at our birth but it is always up to us whether or not to open up to our true Divinity and what we will do with this knowledge.

I Walk In The Light

Affirming The Classics: Walk In The Light, So Shalt Thou Know – Bernard Barton

I walk in The Light, as I know
The fellowship of Love
God’s Spirit is a part of me
And flows from Light above

I walk in The Light, and I find
My Heart melding with His
I Am enshrined in the Pure Light
In me, no darkness is

I walk in The Light, even death
I embrace, as I share
The Joy, the Love, the Light, the Truth
And Christ awaits me there

I walk in The Light, the Love way
My unknown Path glows bright
God exists in the Heart of me
And God Himself is Light

Trina Graves – 16th October 2019


About This Poem

I did not know of this hymn, but came across it when looking for another one. I was surprised at how positive it was for being written so long ago. So it didn’t need much tweaking to turn it into an Affirmation for my series of Affirming The Classics.

Here is the original…

Walk in the light: so shalt thou know
That fellowship of love
His Spirit only can bestow
Who reigns in light above

Walk in the light; and thou shalt find
Thy heart made truly His
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined
In whom no darkness is

Walk in the light; and e’en the tomb
No fearful shade shall wear
Glory shall chase away its gloom
For Christ has conquered there

Walk in the light: and thine shall be
No thornless path, but bright
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee
And God Himself is Light

Bernard Barton 1784 – 1849

I Walk In The Light - Affirming The Classics by Trina Graves

Update 30th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

In this difficult time of The Great Awakening I believe it is vital to share as much positivity as possible, so in this category I wanted to include some simple affirming words to uplift anyone who reads them.

Walk in the Light, remain aware at all times that you can use your Divine Light to protect and lift your vibration when faced with any darkness. You will also radiate your Light to others, helping them to see what has been in the shadows for so very long, and aiding them to shine their own Light.

The Lord’s My True Guide

Affirming The Classics: The Lord’s My Shepherd – Scottish Psalter/psalm 23

The Lord’s my true Guide, All-That-Is
He respects my free-will
Now that I follow, in His way
In Loving Peace, I’m still

My Soul, it is aligned with Him
Rejoicing as I take
Steps on the Path of Pure Love
As footsteps of Light I make

As I walk towards my life’s end
I feel only the Bliss
For I am never alone, His Love
Is comfort, I never need miss

My life is abundantly Blessed
In truth, I have no foes
Every Soul is Heavenly sent
My Pure Compassion overflows

Goodness, Love and Light, all my life
Are always there for me
God is in me, for evermore
I live to express this, to Be

Trina Graves – 16th October 2019


About This Poem

The Lord’s My Shepherd is one of the most famous hymns known, and often sung, by many people, so it was an obvious choice for me to update in my series of Affirming The Classics.

My aim with this series is to update the old favourites and turn them into Affirmations. The originals were beautiful and inspirational for their time, but now many of us are coming to the understanding that God/Source/All-That-Is (or whatever name you prefer to use) is a part of us, and we can claim our Divinity to bring a United Light and Love to this world. 

When I am Affirming hymns I always do my best to keep the syllables to the same number as the original so that they can be sung easily to the well-known tunes. This hymn is so often sang, so I especially made sure it matched!

The original hymn…

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by

My Soul he doth restore again
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness
E’en for his own name’s sake

Yea, though I walk in deaths dark vale
Yet will I feel no ill
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff me comfort still

My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes
My head thou dost with oil anoint
And my cup overflows

Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me
And in God’s house for evermore
My dwelling place shall be

Scottish Psalter 1650

The Lord's My True Guide - Affirming The Classics by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Update 30th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

Keeping uplifted and in a positive frame of mind as much as possible is so very important in this time of The Great Awakening, which is why I include some of my Affirming The Classics in this category. With all of the revelations coming forth we can very easily slip into the negative by thinking of our world as being so full of darkness and especially by feeling hateful thoughts towards all of the perpetrators, which is natural and understandable.

However, by staying in negative emotions it lowers our vibration and feeds the dark’s power, so we need to rise above to boost the positive Light. Of course, it doesn’t mean the perpetrators should not be brought to justice and dealt with, we just need to focus on bringing as much Light as possible to eliminate the dark and therefore create our New Earth of Love, Light, Truth, Peace and Joy.

For me, The Lord’s My True Guide are words to remember to keep uplifted and on my true path.

Parent’s Love… Always With You

No matter how long ago
Days, months, or many years
Their presence no longer in your life
Can bring some sadness and tears

But also, a tear of joy can fall
As you fondly reminisce
The Love you so dearly felt
Embraced, or a tender kiss

Or maybe they didn’t demonstrate
Their Love, with words or touch
But in your Heart you know the truth
They Loved you, so very much

You were their pride and their joy
All through your young childhood
And as you grew into an adult
Their inner-reflection, now stood

For you are linked in many ways
Not only through your DNA
But the Love and nurture that you felt
Remains in your Heart today

They may have left the physical
But their Energy of Love remains
Walking with you through your life
With all its joys and pains

With you through the celebrations
Births, weddings, and birthdays
Often caught in photographs
As energy orb displays

With you in the quiet times
When they pop into your mind
Wanting to bring you inner peace
Their Love, you can always find

With you when your Heart aches
And when you can take no more
They know you’ll heal in time
Because their Love is in your core

With you at times of success
Proud to be the parent of you
Throughout all your milestones and goals
They were there, to see you through

With you in times of trouble
Worry, stress, and strife
Their compassion and support
Always with you, through your life

For we are not just physical
But Eternal Beings of Love
Growing through our Earthly lives
Linked always below and above

Sharing and experiencing all of life
With our Soul group, we walk
And if we open-up our Heart
To the other side we can talk

Always with you… in your Heart
Always with you… every day
Always with you… in Loving Energy
Always with you… they will stay

Always with you, and especially
They await your presence above
One day in time you’ll be together
To reminisce your lives of Love

They will be there on that day
Excited to embrace, and you’ll see
When you transition to the other side
They were always with you, in Love Energy

Trina Graves – 16th October 2019


About This Poem

I wrote this poem for my Dad’s 83rd birthday (on 18th October), I made it into a small book that also contained pictures of his parents. My grandmother Evelyn died in 1967, aged 60, and my grandfather James in 1999, aged 85. I was only six when my nanny died, but I have fond memories of her because we lived next door, so were able to be with her often. I was given the name Evelyn (middle name) and I know I am like her in many ways. I have always felt a closeness to her throughout the years, and I know she is with me often too.

The idea for the poem was given to me (from Spirit) and I instantly knew it would be perfect to write for my Dad. My Mum has always been the ‘Spiritual’ one of my parents, but my Dad is unsure of such matters, so I do like to share my views with him, especially as a way of hopefully opening the door – just a little, if he’s willing – for him to see the Light that can shine through. 

Although this poem is about ‘parental’ love, I believe that it is really true about any love relationship and of course, for me it rings true about my grandparents and me too.

Evelyn was a doting mother and grandmother and easily showed her love, but James was very reserved, due to the times he lived in and his very hard upbringing, which is why there is a verse on not physically demonstrating love.

If this poem was not written especially for my Dad, I would have also included some verses to talk of those parents who were not present in the child’s physical life, or who might have physically or mentally mis-treated their child. I would have said: no matter what happens in any family relationship, on the Higher or Spiritual level the conditions gone through were pre-chosen by both Souls and at the core of it all there is only love, which will be revealed when united at death. I can now see I need to write another poem to cover this! 🙂 

Although it was not written as a ‘sympathy’ poem, I believe that it is certainly a part of this category, so I will include it with my other Sympathy Poems.

Amazing Grace: Awakened Senses

Affirming The Classics: based on Amazing Grace by John Newton

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That tuned my aural energy
I once was lost, deafened by duality
But now I hear the harmony of Unity

Amazing Grace, how beautiful the sight
That cleared my optical energy
I once was lost, blinded by duality
But now I see the vision of Unity

Amazing Grace, how delicate the touch
That bathed by cellular energy
I once was lost, dis-eased by duality
But now healthy in the Well-Being of Unity

Amazing Grace, how delicious the taste
That imbued my appetizing energy
I once was lost, drip-fed by duality
But now I partake the menu of Unity

Amazing Grace, how fragrant the smell
That permeates my olfactory energy
I once was lost, clogged by duality
But now I inhale aromatic Unity

Amazing Grace, how Blissful the feeling
That flowed, uplifting my vibrational energy
I once was lost, in Earth’s dense duality
But now my senses are Awakened in Unity

Trina Graves – 18th September 2019


About This Poem

I have had Amazing Grace on my list of poems to do for my series of Affirming The Classics since I first began writing these. It is such a well-known classic and powerful hymn but, along with most other older inspirational poems and hymns, it contains negative aspects.

I have never liked the expression of ‘a wretch like me.’ And once I learned of the Law Of Attraction, I realized why. As a matter of interest, I just looked up the word ‘wretch’ in my dictionary and it is even more detrimental than I previously thought: a miserable, unfortunate, pitiful creature; a shamelessly wicked person.  

Even though it is speaking of before receiving ‘Grace,’ to ever perceive ourselves in such negative ways is destructive. Thinking of ourselves in this way, or as a sinner that needs to be ‘saved’ is the old energy of humanity, that is now clearing away.

We all contain the essence of God, it’s just a matter of how much we acknowledge this, and align ourselves with living from that essence.  

When I started this re-write I intended to do as I’ve done before, in going through each verse and make them as positive and affirmative as I could. However, this one went in a different direction, and I soon realized it was to be all about the senses Awakening. I did wonder whether or not to include this in the series, as the words are not all totally positive with each verse containing the ‘lost in’ part, but I believe it needs to be with the others.

Although I haven’t done it yet, I will have another go at working through the complete original hymn…

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace those fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess, within the veil
A life of joy and peace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

John Newton  1775 – 1807

The last verse (my favourite) was added at a later date by an unknown American.

Amazing Grace: Awakened Senses - Affirming The Classics by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Update 30th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

In this time of The Great Awakening it is important to recognize in our world of duality it is up to us to choose which side we want in our lives to be dominant: negative or positive. It takes constant focus to remain in the positive as we have been manipulated all of our lives to live in fear of our lives, health, livelihood etc.. and it is heavily pushed that there are always others who are against our way of life.

In 2020 so very many people were manipulated and programmed through a well-planned psy-op to live in great constant fear, resulting in them not questioning absurd rules and doing as they were told, also enabling themselves to be used for a experimental treatment. From the very beginning of Covid, so very many things made no sense whatsoever if even just a little critical thinking was used. And now, three years later it is so sad to hear of all the devastated and lost lives that continue to be a result of this experiment.

From a much Higher Perspective, we all choose our time of death and all those who have passed during this time chose to aid humanity in The Great Awakening by taking their part in this way. They are Blessed and are now at Peace, watching us continue on with this momentous task, so it is important to share with the world the damage done, so it will never happen again, then they will not have died in vain, but for the greater good of all humanity.

Living in fear we are ‘lost,’ as we are not being our true selves – Divinely Powerful Beings of Love – becoming Awakened is realising there is nothing to fear, and as Awakened Souls in Unity we will change our world and never be pulled into the overpowering density of negativity again.

Namaste

About This Poem

I don’t actually know this hymn, but after working on a couple of my favourites for my series of poems ‘Affirming The Classics,‘ I read through some hymns and this one stood out to me as one I would like to tweak to make it more positive and as an affirmation.

Original Hymn…

Holy Spirit, truth Divine
Dawn upon this soul of mine
Word of God, and inward light
Wake my spirit, clear my sight

Holy Spirit, love Divine
Glow within this heart of mine
Kindle every high desire
Perish self in Thy pure fire

Holy Spirit, power Divine
Fill and nerve this will of mine
By Thee may I strongly live
Bravely bear, and nobly strive

Holy Spirit, right Divine
King with my conscience reign
Be my Lord, and I shall be
Firmly bound, for ever free

Holy Spirit, peace Divine
Still this restless heart of mine
Speak to calm this tossing sea
Stayed in Thy tranquillity

Holy Spirit, joy Divine
Gladden Thou this heart of mine
In the desert ways I’ll sing
Spring, O Well, for ever spring
(Samual Longfellow 1819 – 1892)

About This Poem/Prayer

(In my series of Affirming The Classics I aim to re-write well-known poems to take out any negativity in them and turn them into affirmations.)

Although I have never been a very regular ‘church goer,’ I was brought up in a generation where all children learned The Lord’s Prayer at school, and so whenever it comes up at Weddings, Christenings and Funerals the words have always easily come to my mind.

In my childhood, and occasionally as a younger adult. I went to Christian church services, but I have always found them much too negative. In the 90’s I began to go to a Christian Spiritualist church (and continued on-and-off for several years) where I enjoyed the service because there was hardly any negativity. However, the one thing that they did do, that I considered contained negativity, was saying The Lord’s Prayer.

To me the words of the original prayer are negative because we are giving away our power, which although it is to God, it is saying that we have no choice. I have never liked saying the part about temptation and evil, as just speaking these words seemed wrong to me in a prayer that is supposed to have been said by Jesus.

I wrote my version at the end of March, but, I have not felt the need to share it, and I was beginning to wonder why. I have noticed that when I hang on to a new poem it’s usually because I need to change something about it, or there is Divine Timing at play. This one seems to be both! Trying to keep at least some of the original prayer in the words, I had started it with ‘Our Father’ which, although I do not perceive God as only masculine, I thought at least it began in the traditional way.

About a week ago a book kept coming to my attention in various ways, I was beginning to wonder if it was a sign I should read it, then it appeared at a reduced price, giving me the extra push, and so I bought it and began to read. I have not yet finished, but while reading I knew I had to change the beginning of this prayer!

I have known for many years that the Bible is not complete and was thoroughly edited. I had also discovered and believed in the stories of Mary Magdalene being the loving companion/partner or wife of Jesus. But, if it had not been for the consistent ‘signs’ I would not have got the book – Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel & The Christianity We Haven’t Tried Yet by Meggan Watterson

Along with my inner-knowing of the truth in this book, I also had a meditation experience a week or so before I started to read that had an amazing link with this book. I will write more about this at another time, especially as I haven’t finished the book yet.

Another interesting link has been to do with the making of the picture below. I worked on this yesterday and found I was definitely drawn to the pink/red background, but thinking it was too feminine for this prayer I tried other colours, but none seemed right to me. So I stuck with it. Today I uploaded the image to this post and noticed a block of white on the border, so I went back to re-do the picture. I had the main part in a rectangular block and however much I reduced the corners and then exported the picture, extra white blocks would appear in the exported picture that were not in the original. This has never happened before! I then made it into the oval shape that fitted to the words and the blocks were gone!!! The result, I believe, is now a balance of masculine and feminine energy with the straight and curved lines, along with the feminine colour balancing the masculine energy of the original prayer…

Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
They will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen

The Lord's Prayer: In Oneness by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Update 25th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

I believe the words of my adaptation of The Lord’s Prayer are empowering as we make the transition to our New Earth of Love. Light & Peace. Acknowledging we are a part of God, having Divine Power and freewill to choose our own destiny, by intending and aligning ourselves with Source we will create and manifest our beautiful world of Oneness in Unity consciousness.

Now You Know

Now You Know
The beauty of your Soul
Life will never break you
Your essence remains whole
Now… You Know

Now You Know
Love is who you are
Unconditional and eternal
Radiant as the brightest star
Now… You Know

Now You Know
The Light is a part of you
Source Energy, God
Shines in all you do
Now… You Know

Now You Know
Life is about having fun
Creating and expanding
Forever learning from day one
Now… You Know

Now You Know
Everything is a reflection
Of thoughts and beliefs
Mirroring your attention
Now… You Know

Now You Know
You create your reality
You hold all the power
To be who you want to be
Now… You Know

Now You Know
You are singularly unique
No one will ever be the same
In mind, or in physique
Now… You Know

Now You Know
You are One in Unity
With all life, your Soul
A Source Spark eternally
Now… You Know

Now You Know
We are never apart
Separation is an illusion
We’re always together at heart
Now… You Know

Now You Know
The love I feel for you
At entry and exit to life
It overpowers to guide me through
Now… You Know

Now You Know
Life is eternal, on the other side
We choose to stay, or be re-born
To go for another enlightening ride
Now… You Know

Now You Know
Transitioning between the two
At birth and death, a doorway
We all pass our way through
And There… We All Know

Trina Graves – 1st August 2019


About This Poem

The title of this poem just popped into my head one day, so I wrote it down with a note that it would be a sympathy poem.

I was reminded of how I received a message from my grandmother at Spiritualist church (she died when I was six), With the description of her and what was said, I had no doubt that it was her, but what stuck in my mind most was her saying that when she was alive she would never have set foot in a Spiritualist Church, but now she was so happy to be able to speak to me at one! 

When I was writing the poem, I was about half way through when I realized it was not just about someone who has died, but also about babies at birth too.

I believe all babies come with this inner-knowing, so fresh from Source it is the reason they shine so bright and we are so intoxicated by them. In our dense world, and with all of the negative programming that has continued throughout the ages, the majority of children loose their inner-knowing as they grow up. Although, of course, it can be re-awakened at anytime.

I also believe that we are now in a time where children are able to hold onto these truths. Many of the arrivals so far have been given the ‘labels’ of crystal, indigo or rainbow children, but I believe the majority of babies will soon be able to sustain their Light throughout childhood and into adulthood.

Resignation Syndrome – Wake Up World!

I write from a place of Love
Asking for guidance from above
I have no knowledge of this, it’s true
But I still feel the need to share with you

On Netflix I watched a documentary
Flabbergasted by, ‘Life Overtakes Me’
It caused me sadness, a great concern
Bu I knew from this we could learn

In Sweden for years there have been
Children of all ages, up to teen
Withdrawing from life, being inert
With no physical reason, or hurt

Symptoms begin with not wanting to eat
Staying in bed, not wanting to be on their feet
Having no enthusiasm for what’s going on
Play, friends, family, all interest gone

As the days pass they entirely withdraw
Becoming unconscious like never before
Comatose, having to be drip-fed
As many months pass by in their bed

If this were happening to only a few
It would probably go unnoticeable to
The wider world, we would never know
Hundreds are suffering this crazy blow!

Experts have done what they can
Giving parents a daily-action plan
With limited resources, doing their best
But is this a wider humanity test?

The one thing they all can agree
All the children are a refugee
Fled from violence and the hate
Awaiting a decision of their fate

These children have all been
Faced with intense trauma, they had seen
Humans at their worst, hurting another
Even the death of friends or mother

In limbo families await a decision
The answer could cause a collision
Should they not get a permit
In this world, where would they fit?

The reason for this conclusion
Is not just someone’s illusion
But the actual way the children heal
Is to do with the Hope that they feel

For when a family finally receives
A letter to stay, and then believes
Their family is safe at long last
The children recover pretty fast

***

What’s strange is that it’s in one place
And not spread throughout the human race
But I believe that is a part
To gain our attention, and then our Heart

If it was happening everywhere
The film may not have been made to share
It’s poignancy may then have been lost
Unheeded, to humanity a greater cost

To me, and the reason that I write
This shines of Spiritual Truths, so bright
All children of the world should be
Able to live in Peace and safety

Parents always do their best
For their children, they never rest
In mind, body and Spirit until
Their Hope-buckets they can fill

For we are all not just physical
Our Spirit has the strongest pull
On our life, it leads the way
Without it’s life-force we’d leave today

Without saying a single word
Feelings and emotions are clearly heard
Parents unknowingly feed their child
Negativity, and their thoughts run wild

These children are here to teach us
Voluntarily withdrawing with no fuss
They shout and cry, with no words to say
‘There has to be a better way!’

We are all brothers and sisters of Earth
One race of humanity at our birth
United, as One, we can be
Compassionate to ALL our Earth family

I have no interest in politics
And no clue at all, how to fix
The logistics, of how we will all
Work together bringing limits to fall

I only know Love is the answer, the way
To live our life, each and every day
Unconditionally giving, shining bright
United, we’d do what’s needed and right

Trina Graves – 1st August 2019


About This Poem

I had never heard of resignation syndrome before watching the documentary and usually I wouldn’t watch anything that is telling of something negative going on, especially about children, but I was drawn to this and knew I needed to watch.

By the time it had finished I knew that I would be writing a poem about it, even though it is not something I have experienced or know of. I was just struck by my perception that these children are calling out to us, and telling humanity to WAKE UP!

As I mention in the poem, I have no solution, but I know of the world I wish to live in. I also know that we create our own reality and everything starts from within.  So I will focus on seeing a peaceful world full of compassion for all of its inhabitants, with no restrictions on people living in whichever part of the world they would like. 

I have never understood how anyone can not feel compassion for anyone who wishes to leave a country where there are dangers of any kind. We all want a better life for our families (especially for our children) and those that make the decision to leave their homeland are only wanting a safer and better way of life. Would we not do the same, if our country became a terrible place to live, for the safety of our children?

When you look at the Earth from outer space there are no borders, we are all members of the human race. Before we come here and when we leave it matters not where we lived, what we looked like on the outside, or what religion we followed.
All that matters is… did we live as the trueness of who we really are – One!

part of poem: Resignation Syndrome-Wake Up World! by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Update 29th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

When I wrote this poem in 2019 I wasn’t at all sure about adding the ‘Wake Up World!’ on the title, I remember deleting it and then re-doing it several times, in the end, because I just couldn’t let it sit as just ‘Resignation Syndrome,’ I knew it had to be added! Now, I can so clearly see why. This syndrome was/is part of The Great Awakening and I believe my words shed Light on the Spiritual aspect of this condition. I find it fascinating that I was drawn to watch this documentary and then to write about it, I had never done this before, or since.

Another interesting observation for me is from the penultimate verse:
I have no interest in politics
And no clue at all, how to fix
The logistics, of how we will all
Work together bringing limits to fall

Before the PLANdemic I certainly had absolutely no interest in politics, in my early twenties I recognised that it didn’t matter who you voted for because they were all the same, different parties was an illusion.

It was in 2020 that I began to take an interest and to do some research. My son had began to watch some of President Donald Trump speeches and pointed out to me that he often called the mainstream news ‘FAKE,’ this caught my attention as I already knew this to be true (even before all of the unbelievable reporting of the PLANdemic). I knew Donald Trump was hated by the media as nothing good was ever said about him, so this led me to look for myself at what he was doing. I began to watch his speeches and to find out what type of ‘Executive Orders’ he carried out. Stopping human trafficking was a big part, which included building the wall that the media condemned. I also found it interesting that he never took a wage for being President, but donated the money to charity (unlike other Presidents) and the simple fact that he was the only President not to go to war stood out to me as an indication of his true colours.

It seemed so very obvious that he would win the 2020 election, you only had to glimpse at the many thousands of people who attended his rallies compared to the handful of people present at Joe Bidens to see where it was heading. Then when the election happened it was shocking to see that during the live broadcast at one point Trumps votes actually went down in number! The mainstream heralded Joe as the winner before the counting finished and the fiasco of democracy was brought to the publics attention.

I, like many believed it was only a matter of a short time before the rigging was revealed and the true winner would be declared. There were numerous investigations streamed live which produced overwhelming evidence of corruption, so it was surprising that nothing came of this. However, it now seems that this was to show the corruption of the judicial system etc.. all being complicit. The truth will undoubtable surface to the mainstream in a matter of time, we who all thought this would be over a long time ago, can now see that it needed time to wake as many people up as possible slowly/steadily to reduce the impact of shock. I could go on about the unbelievable ‘fake Joe Biden,’ but I will leave it there!

Of course, you might wonder as I am from England why I take an interest in American politics? And that is because if you can ‘see’ how with the ‘PLANdemic’ we became a world who followed the same orders, and how as these few years have passed we are now being manipulated to accept long planned aims of the New World Order, you can easily see how our own governments are complicit. Getting back to Donald Trump, defunding the WHO (World Health Organization) in April 2020 while an investigation was held (the USA were the WHO’s largest single funder at over $400 million in 2019) now seems a very significant important step as we are now being faced with the world accepting the WHO’s pandemic treaty where they will have control of every country to be able to force lockdowns, vaccine passports & mandates etc.. We are all in this together, regardless of our country of residence or origin.

Which brings me to the rest of that verse.. this is the ‘logistics of how we will all work together bringing limits to fall!’ Together we will shine our Light on all corruption and create a New Earth of Truth, Love, Light & Peace.

Namaste

Surrender To The Flow

Be at Peace, and
Surrender to The Flow
All will be well
Wherever you go

Be the Love you are
Basking in The Flow
Love is all there is
At your Core you know

Speak your Higher Truth
Enhancing The Flow
Those ready to listen
Will Awaken and grow

Acknowledge all is Energy
Connected to The Flow
Raising your vibration
You’ll radiate a glow

Float above the darkness
In the Christed-Light Flow
Living from Spirit first
Your Light will clearly show

Unconditionally Love All
Forgiveness strengthens The Flow
No matter what befalls
You’ll remain calm and mellow

Trina Graves – 20th July 2019


About This Poem

I started off as usual, to write a poem, by reading through my list of titles and ideas. Usually just one will ‘speak’ to me but this time I wrote a list of six that felt right. I hadn’t written in a while so I gathered I would be doing a few that day. However, after praying and asking for guidance I re-read the list of six and none of them stood out! This has never happened before, so I smiled and thought ‘what now?’ Then, I knew I had to ‘go with the flow’ and as soon as I thought this I got the title: ‘Surrender To The Flow.’

Surrender To The Flow - Inspirational poem by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Update 25th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

As you can see from my above words, this poem was not intended when I sat to write. Over the years there have been several developed in this way, and always with the words easily ‘flowing.’ What I have come to notice as I am compiling this category of The Great Awakening is of how these ones are so very relevant!

Every word of this poem speaks to me now of how to ‘Be’ in this time of so much confusion and revelations. And, I hope it brings some comfort and Light to anyone who reads it.

A Birthday Revelation

Waking in the early hours
Of my birthday this year
No idea why I couldn’t sleep
Now I know, the reason so clear

I had recently re-visited
A visualization exercise
I’d began the summer of 99
Twenty years, my..  how time flies!

Usually on a beach I’d meet
My guide James and we’d talk
His wisdom often very profound
As in the sunshine we would walk

I hadn’t done this for a long time
No meeting place had seemed right
But, the re-visit a few days before
Brought back a memorable site

Dorchester Abbey, a childhood place
I loved, so I’d met James there
Getting back to the morning
My birthday joy I wanted to share

As I walked down the aisle
I saw James in the front pew
Then he leapt up, facing me
Arms outstretched, at once I knew

He was Jesus, and not James
Surprised! I wasn’t expecting this
Time stood still as it sank in
And our past visits I reminisced

I thought of how I’d wondered
Before of the similarity
A pure and gentle loving nature
Looking how I thought Jesus would be

But I’d always tell myself:
“Don’t jump to that conclusion
It’s just your wishful thinking
Creeping into this illusion”

As Jesus waited patiently
For my mind to take in it all
Not one word did He say
But His embracing smile I recall

Just as I accepted the truth
My human doubt gave me a kick
‘Delusions of grandeur’ my thought
So I left there, rather too quick!

The significance of the date
Was this a sign? Could it be?
His Lovingly Blissful Presence
At my birth, my mum did see

But I never ‘felt’ a thing
So I let this vision go
Forgetting it even happened
I put a block to that flow!

A week or two passed
Then began a constant process
Many synchronicities and signs
Miraculously tuned my awareness

Listening to a radio talk-show
Emailing messages to a friend
Thoughts came to me often
Bringing clarity, for me to mend

Through these I learned my blocks
Self-worth, fear of it all being real
And not feeling the Divine Bliss
Now, how from these could I heal?

I knew I had to visit Jesus
To find out some more
So to the Abbey I went
In my mind just as before

Jesus then explained to me
Why I’d blocked His identity
I just was not at all ready
My doubt would make me flee

So over the years we’d met
To establish a relationship
My friend, a brotherly companion
No ‘Deity’ worship taking a grip

Being worthy of His Presence
Now I could understand
Every Soul that ever exists
Is truly worthy to take His hand

My fear of it being real
I soon came to realize
I’d have to share this truth
Would other people criticize?

The last block to dissolve
Came from words of my own
My latest poem, just before Christmas
Wow! The seed was really sown!

Jesus: The Christ was the poem
All about His many names
And the reason for His Presence
So why could one not be James?

The significance of this poem
Was that I’d gone with the flow
No intention for the words
The relevance now clearly on show

And then I read the words
Added to my blog in December
Preparing to write the poem
I did something I didn’t remember

I always ask for guidance
Before each poem I write
But this was the first time I asked
For Jesus, to guide my words right

As I asked I felt overwhelming
Tears of pureness and love
I unthinkingly immediately blocked this
Still remaining connected to the above

So here, in my own words, my reason
For not feeling the immense emotion
On being in His Presence
I’d given myself the notion!

Everything happens for a reason
I have always believed to be true
All those years of preparation
Were meant to happen too

About This Poem

When I posted my poem ‘Footprints Of Light’, in the ‘About This Poem’ section I had already written about the story of my ‘Birthday Revelation’ there are more details there than I have included in the poem, and at the end I also mentioned that I now believed I needed to write more poems on my experiences to share with others, so if you are interested in finding out more, please take a look there.

‘Jesus: The Christ’  as mentioned in the poem is all about His names and you can also read what I wrote before posting this on Christmas Day.

There is also a link page to my other ‘Vision Poems.’

quote from poem: A Birthday Revelation by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

The photo is an old one I took years ago of looking down the aisle of Dorchester Abbey. I got the picture of Jesus online (dressed in white as I saw) so I placed it where He was stood in my vision.

Immortal And Visible

Affirming The Classics: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
original hymn by Walter Chalmers Smith

Immortal and visible, God is all wise
In Light and accessible before my eyes
Most Blessed, most Glorious, in all of my days
I Am victorious as I follow His ways

Perpetual calmness and silence I find
Freewill acceptance, I’m given my own mind
I climb beautiful mountains high soaring above
And float on the clouds of His Goodness and Love

To all life God gives to both great and the small
In all life He lives, the true life of all
I blossom and flower as leaves on a tree
Eternal in Oneness as God is in me

My Father of Glory, Purity and Light
The Angels adore You, love shining so bright
All round me Your presence, I now clearly see
And Your Light is the Love around and in me

Immortal and visible, God is all wise
In Light and accessible before my eyes
Most Blessed, most Glorious, in all of my days
I Am victorious as I follow His ways

Trina Graves – 11th March 2019


About This Poem

This is another one of my favourite hymns that just needed a little tweaking to make it into more of an affirmation. The original (see below) speaks of the splendour of God’s light being the reason for us not being able to see God, but as more and more of us are Awakening to know we are of the Light, we can perceive the presence of God/Source in all life everywhere.

Although I have kept to the original descriptions of God as Him/His/Father, I do not at all think of God as a male entity.  To me God is just another word for the All-That-Is or Source Energy of which ‘male’ is just one aspect.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love

To all life Thou givest, to both great and small
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all
We blossom and flower as leaves on the tree
And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee

Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight
All laud we would render, O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee

Immortal, invisible, God only wise
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise
(Walter Chalmers Smith 1824 – 1908)

Affirming The Classics: Immortal & Visible by Trina Graves - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Channelling

Eileen Caddy, the first I admired
God’s words spoke to my heart
Clear guidance of Divine Love
Truth sang to me, at the start

Neale Donald Walsch, a catalyst
‘Conversations With God’ inspired me
I began to write some poems
To be, who I came here to be

Jane Roberts channelled Seth
Teaching: You create your own reality
One of the first to say this truth
To enlighten all of humanity

Esther Hicks worked with husband Jerry
As Abraham spoke, lifting me so high
Now Jerry works with Abraham
On the other side, no need for goodbye

Helen Schucman brought through Jesus
A Course In Miracles, the book
Many pages, some hard to read
But loving truth, whenever you look

Blossom Goodchild, continues on
Although knocked down in the past
Love from the Federation Of Light
Comes through, I too, remain steadfast

Darryl Anka, always a joy to watch
Bashar’s delight shining through
From the future, his words speak
So much wisdom on what to do

Amanda Ellis I recently found
With synchronicities powerfully strong
Archangel Metatron her main Guide
And to her ‘tribe’ I now belong
The Heart Squad are coming through
Diana, Michael, George, Freddie
‘Celebrities’ wanting to share
Love and Light to help us be ready

I have always been drawn to channelling
Since on my path I consciously started
Different people, sources and methods
All working with Love and Light-hearted

I was told I would be used
As a channel, many years ago
I never sat in circle, or ‘developed’
So I had no evidence to show

My perception and understanding
Has steadily progressed through time
I now appreciate the irony
I’ve been doing it, with each new rhyme!

I’ve always known the words I receive
Are coming from somewhere Higher
It just took me years to acknowledge
The true meaning of ‘Inspire’

Everything that exists in the Universe
Whether physical or invisible to see
Consists of one pure substance
Without exception, it’s all Energy

Our thoughts and those of others
Are Energy substances all around
Linked by the Law of Attraction
We drew to us, the ones we found

No matter the plane of existence
On Earth, in Spirit, or outer space
We are all united and connected
Through Source Energy we all trace

Our minds tune-in like a radio
Our intention and focus transmit
Universal Law makes a match
What we receive will always fit

We actually channel all the time
From distances far away and near
Whenever we feel inspiration
We’re connected, reception is clear

Our strongest portal of connection
Is to our own Spirit, Soul, Higher-Self
By following our own inspiration
We live the life of our truest wealth

Trina Graves – 27th March 2019


About This Poem

This has been another ‘Divine Timing’ posting!
I had this post just about prepared to add last week (for my mid-week post) but on reading through this part I was not 100% happy with what I’d written, so I left it and by the weekend had prepared another poem to post.

However, for some unknown reason I still held back from adding that one yesterday and earlier today. So, as today is my youngest grandson’s 4th birthday I thought I would add the poem I wrote on the day of his birth. This morning I began to get that post ready to add. And still, things did not go to plan as I got side-tracked with other things that needed doing.

This evening I thought I really must now add the birthday one, but, just as I sat to write, an email arrived to inform me that Amanda Ellis had just uploaded a new video… on Channelling!

I watched it and now I know that this is the time to add my poem on Channelling! In Amanda’s video she talks a lot about the Heart Squad and why they are coming through now, so it fits perfectly with my poem.  Also – apart from giving lots of information on channelling – she mentions sitting in circle and this was relevant to part of my original writing…

       – My first understanding of channelling (many years ago) was that it was a spirit talking through a human and the first time I experienced this (at a Spiritualist Church) I wasn’t at all impressed or totally believe that it was real. So, when at church (another time) I was told that I would be used as a channel I did wonder how this would work. I was also told many times to ‘sit in circle’ (a way to develop your skills) but I was also told that I would be guided to the right one as it had to be of a high vibration. I was keen to do this, but the ‘right’ one never came along before I stopped my regular attendance due to my feeling that I needed to move on from this level of ‘spirituality.’ – 

I had wondered why I never did get to sit in circle and also why I eventually felt going to the church wasn’t progressing. Watching Amanda’s video today has helped me to understand that (with the deepest respect for all those who have done it) taking years to develop by sitting in circle is a way of the past. And I was being led to do my own thing – it just took me years to realize it!!!

Update 25th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

The varied ways people have always connected to any Spiritual Energy is one of the truths that has been mostly ridiculed in the mainstream science, media, education etc.. There are often token representations in the media, but they are classed as entertainment.

In more recent years many scientists have come to the conclusion that there is a Spiritual side to science but they are not in the ‘mainstream’ as (among other things) their findings would drastically change people’s reliance on pharmaceuticals and surgeries – the big money makers! This is all part of ‘The Great Awakening as people come to know that they are the ones who have the greatest power over their own health. Of course, doctors etc.. will always be needed, for serious conditions, accidents etc.. but, the trend of ‘a pill for every ill’ will end as people realise the pushing of pharmaceuticals has never been about helping people to become well, but totally about money. By creating life-long customers their profits are increasing and never-ending.

As long as I can remember, I have never understood how cancer could be cured by destroying someone’s immune system and health, it just never made any sense to me whatsoever! Once I began to look into alternative medicines many years ago, I knew that should I ever have to face the decision, I would not agree to the mainstream options such as chemotherapy, I also would not have surgery to cut anything out without researching more into the matter.

As the years passed I realised that cancer was a major industry and a ‘cure’ for the public knowledge would never be found while the pharmacetical companies have control. There have been many people revealing true cures, but they are shut down, imprisoned even killed to stop the truth coming out. However, it is now only a matter of time before all is revealed as big pHARMa is being revealed through the damage and death caused by recent vaccinations, opening people’s eyes to then question all other jabs and medicines.

A lesson I have learned over the past few years is that we need to seek our own truth and not be pulled into others perceptions, even if we once viewed them as 100% our truth. An experience I had of this was in 2019 and was to do with channelling. I had for many years followed and 100% trusted the guidance of Abraham-Hicks, it had totally changed my outlook on life for the better. In 2019 I came across some health advice to always breathe through your nose, on doing so many issues I had improved. One thing I then noticed is the amount of people who inhale (gulping large breaths through their mouth) when they are talking. I mentioned this to a friend (a follower Abraham-Hicks) telling of all my improvements, she gave it a go and it was finding it helpful, but then she decided to check on what Abraham-Hicks say about breathing, they did not endorse it so she chose to follow their guidance, whereas I chose to follow my own experience.

Another example is of a very close family member who after taking a flu jab over twenty years ago and becoming ill and seeing the same thing happen to many others decided to never again take a flu shot. However, with all of the manipulation and propaganda with the recent experimental shots they followed the mainstream over their own experience, taking all the Covid shots and boosters along with flu shots too!

My third example is of my own perception being challenged. As this poem and notes after mention, I became a follower of Amanda Ellis and had numerous sychronicities that, to me, confirmed the truth of her words. However, over time I began to notice her ‘reads’ on certain people didn’t ring true to me. With the passing of more time it became very evident that some of the people she ‘read’ as working for the good of humanity were not. Although of course from a much Higher perspective even those who have done ‘bad’ things can be working towards bringing things to Light so they can be eliminated.

So, an important lesson I have experienced over the last few years, and I believe is a part of ‘The Great Awakening,’ is never to blindly follow anyone (whether a single person, or group). Listen and contemplate all that crosses our path, BUT, always know our truest guidance is found within.

Namaste

 

I Breathe The Breath Of God

Affirming The Classics: Breathe On Me Breathe Of God (hymn)
by Edwin Hatch

I breathe the Breath Of God
I Am filled with life anew
I Am unconditional Love
I do what God would do

I breathe the Breath Of God
My heart is open and pure
I am aligned with God
Now and forever more

I breathe the Breath Of God
I Am a spark of the Divine
This Earthly part of me
Glows as God’s Essence is mine

I breathe the Breath Of God
Through all eternity
I know I shall never die
My Soul is God as me

Trina Graves – 8th February 2019


About This Poem

In the mid-nineties I began to go to various Christian Spiritualist Churches in Oxfordshire. I have mainly gone only occasionally, apart from a few years in the nineties.

The reasons I enjoyed going were:

  • I received an abundance of evidence of life after death. Especially amazing were the many things I was told that I did not know, or had no meaning to me, but later when I spoke to my parents, they would confirm them to be true.
  • I was given many messages that helped me, and because of the undeniable truth of the descriptions given of some of the people on the other side, I followed the advice given which has shaped my path.
  • I found it intriguing to see how different mediums worked and what they had to say, especially in their ‘address’ – a talk before sharing their gift with the congregation.
  • I felt the power of unity and faith when silent prayers of healing were offered to where there were needed.
  • I felt the joy and upliftment from singing positive hymns and songs with others – often with no music.

I didn’t know this hymn before going to Spiritualist Church, but it soon became one of my favourites! As you can see from the original hymn (below) the words were already positive – one of the reasons why I love it. So, I just made it more of an ‘Affirmation.’

Breathe on me, Breath of God
Fill me with life anew
That I may love what Thou dost love
And do what Thou wouldst do

Breathe on me, Breath of God
Until my heart is pure
Until my will is one with Thine
To do and to endure

Breathe on me, Breath of God
Till I am wholly Thine
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine

Breathe on me, Breath of God
So shall I never die
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity
Edwin Hatch 1835 – 1889

I Breathe The Breath Of God - Affirming The Classics poem by Trina Graves of Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Update 11th May – The Great Awakening

I believe the largest part of ‘The Great Awakening’ is in acknowledging we are powerful sparks of God. Many of my poems in this category (especially those in more recent years) have some of their focus on the negativity going on, so I also wanted to include some relevant ones that are totally positive affirmations, Desiderata Fulfilled is another.

Living One Vibrational Energy

Title Quote: unknown

Living in our world of duality
One way or the other we go
Vibrational Beings in reality
Energy is all about the flow

Love is really all there is
Only we can block its presence
Variety from being given freewill
Eternally we have God’s essence

Learning to Love unconditionally
Open-hearted to everyone
Valiantly expressing our truth
Ever conscious we are all One

Light is another face of Love
Omnipresent, God does shine
Vastly stronger than the dark
Enlightening your heart and mine

Life will continually expand
Onwards through eternity we’ll create
Visible forms of the All-That-Is
Enjoying life is our truest fate

About This Poem

I decided to write a new quote poem and this one really stood out to me from my list. I started to write but I was not happy with the way it was going. I had written the first verse as acrostic, but the other verses I was writing with each one focusing on each different letter of LOVE. So I took a short break and went back to it and realized that all the verses had to be acrostic!

Update 25th May 2023 – The Great Awakening

This short poem is very much about what is going on at this time. LOVE is truly our way forward as we navigate our way through the seemingly never-ending onslaught of revelations coming forth. At our core we are Beings of Love, and living each day affirming this with our thoughts, words and actions will be the quickest way shine our powerful Light onto the darkness to eliminate it and manifest our New Earth of Love being the dominant force for all of humanity.
