FOR THE LOVE OF MACHINES
1979-1980
At Findhorn Publications
Ex Focaliser at Collating Department

Baton passed to me by Gareth R with Stan and his beloved ancient modern printer next room. Beautiful Sarah designer next room and so many amazing creative people making Findhorn publications simply a family fun experience for me and guests.

In my collating department I am surrounded by gigantic machines they seem at first to be mechanical objects for use.

Wait a minute.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT
Alexander the largest photocopier I could dream of is a teacher of the law of manifestation!! His speed of duplicating any document takes me into a feeling of manifestation “ALL MY NEEDS ARE MET RIGHT NOW!!” Even his xerox service repair guy looking smartly dressed says he firstly opens up Alexander and says he listens intently to what Alexander is saying.

There is Guillotine a 5 foot in width cutter, watch your fingers as you hear her “znnnggg” across cutting through one and a half thick paper. Smoothly as any smoothie!! Also whenever she has any problems I sit still and listen patiently. I find the creative solution even though I am not a mechanic!!

What about Boris the Bookbinder stretching 10 feet across to do his dance of binding the pages into handsome looking OneEarth magazines!! I call him the 4th dimensional teacher. Swiftly placing stacks of loose paper together, taping them neatly for him, no second of hesitation, he demands total attention. No talking, no thinking, no distractions.

COLETTE TEACHER OF PSYCHOSYNTHESIS

Then there is Colette the Teacher of Psychosynthesis!! I place 12 stacks of paper, one stack at a time. Such a marvellous being she is. One day she was not working at all. In come two guests sent by Guest Department, 2 lovely ladies. One dressed with colours of the upper section of Colette. The other lady dressed with colours of the lower section. I said “Wow ! You are the manifestation of Colette!! I got them and me holding hands with Colette and feeling energy passing through all of us. Hey presto, Colette is repaired and working perfectly.

I did have a lovely hour walk with Dorothy Maclean about the consciousness of machine and human soul. We felt intuitively new levels of oneness was happening at Findhorn collating department!!
