LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
(A Journey Back Home to Our Creator as Co-Creator)
My name is Maree Wynd, I was born in the North East of England in 1934. My childhood was similar to that of many children born at that time. They were dark days, it was a time of poverty and struggle for me and many like me.
My Mother died when I was 4 years old, she left two daughters. I was the eldest. My father was serving in the Navy. With no home and no parents as such, we were taken by an Aunt to an orphanage (Sisters of Mercy) and there we stayed for six years.
Times were hard, deprivation was rife, fifty hungry children to feed. We were thrown together and only knew hardship, hunger and discipline, but we learnt how to survive. My sister and I never knew parental love in our formative years and I longed to be part of a family.
Meanwhile back in the North East of England my Father was discharged from the Navy, shell shocked and unable to work, he never thought to take us from the orphanage. Some years later he married a wonderful woman and as a result of her kindness and generosity, we finally escaped the orphanage. She took it upon herself to take us to live with her in a very small council flat. Although she and my Father had three other children and were living in extreme poverty, she found the time and patience to love, feed and clothe us all.
Interestingly, in the orphanage we were blessed with just one thing and that was a very good education, delivered by the nuns. Unfortunately this came to an abrupt end when we were placed in a school close to my Step Mother’s flat. Survival again became my main focus.
I left school at 15 years old with no qualifications and a condition that was later recognised as dyslexia. My lack of education meant that for many years I was only able to take on mundane jobs with no real prospects. I met my future husband when I was 18 years old, and during the five years we were courting he encouraged me to do better for myself, and to realise the potential he saw in me.
I became a nurse and worked with patients with metal health issues and at last I felt a sense of completeness. The nursing gave me confidence and some form of stability. I felt I had achieved something wonderful and I discovered my ability to shower unconditional love upon others. This strengthened my view of life and all that can be gained from a life spent productively. Even though I was deprived of love for so many years during my childhood, I found it so very easy to love all.
I married at 23 years old and was blessed with three children. Again life was a struggle. At times ill health prevented me from working and my husbands’ was the only income, most of which was used to pay rent for our flat in London. We were unable to save for a deposit on a house for ten years.
As the children got older and started school I went back to nursing and at this point we were able to save a deposit and buy our first house in the Home Counties. We finally made good and never looked back.
Nursing was my career for many years, but as I got older the work became too heavy and so I studied and opened a Montessori pre-school. It was a great decision, I remembered so clearly how much I missed love and understanding during my early years and I made it my goal to ensure that the children who attended my school were taught in a loving environment where they could gain confidence and respect for each other and the world in which they lived. My school confirmed to me again the importance of love in our lives, children should be able to give and receive love unconditionally.
The awareness of love, intuition and wisdom in my mature years has afforded me the ability to love all. I believe that love and kindness are the finest gifts to offer mankind. In these days of troubled minds, materialism and discontentment, war and natural disasters the need for love and encouragement to find inner peace and peace with each other has never been more important. We all have choices, to love or hate, love must triumph and lead us on. Love is our true nature.
I would like to thank my wonderful family and many special friends for the love they have showered upon me. It is their love and encouragement that give me the feeling of being wrapped in a warm blanket. I believe love can change your life and help take you through pain and suffering, giving you strength to be master of yourself – the real YOU.
More recently, I have used reflexology, visualisation and hot stone therapy to help others. I give these treatments, gifts, as a token of love to all who need me.
For many years I have needed to share my intuitive thoughts by writing them down. I sincerely hope that many people will enjoy the simplicity of finding awareness, the knowledge that they are special and higher than just an earthly body, that they have a heart, a heart that can be full of love, ultimately, this love can be used to enhance their lives in a world of peace and happiness
I now live, happily, with my husband in France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees near Lourdes.
