FINDING SPIRIT-R.I.P GOLDIE



Former Big Brother housemate, Goldie Harvey is dead. She reportedly passed on after she returned from a trip to the United States on Thursday night . According to Naija reports, the singer's best friend Denrele Edun was the last to be seen with her. Its reported that Goldie died in his arms at a hospital in Victoria Island. All efforts to reach Denrele Edun on his phone proved futile.

Goldie's Twitter handle and Facebook fan page however bear the confirmation that she has passed on as the message "It is with heavy heart that I have to inform you all that Goldie passed this night shortly after arriving Lagos from LA. May her soul rest in the eternal peace of the Lord – Admin!!" was posted around 11 pm on Thursday.

How do you move on after such a tragedy?

A couple of days back,my mentor,Mrs Cathy lost her sister and I went deep into my meditations for a message to encourage her.

Stephen and Anita had a daughter named Racheal.Racheal was brutally murdered and her body left and they wrote to Ramdas,who was their teacher and mentor.They said,HOW CAN WE,AFTER LOSING OUR DAUGHTER,FIND SPIRIT,BE INSPIRED AND HOW CAN WE FIND GOD IN EVENTS SUCH AS THIS?

And this is what Ramdas wrote to Stephen and Anita.One of the most beautiful letters I have ever read.This is what he said,

Dear Stephen and Anita,

Racheal finished her work on earth and left the stage in a manner that leaves those of us behind with a cry of agony in our hearts,as the fragile threat of our fate is dealt with so violently.Is anyone so strong to stay conscious in such teachings as you are receiving?Probably,very few!And even they would only have a whisper of equal enemity and peace amidst screaming trumpets of their rage,grief,horror and desolation.

I can not assuade your pain with any words,nor should I.For your pain is Racheal`s legacy to you.Not that she or I would inflict such pain by choice,but there it is and it must burn its purifying way to completion.For something in you dies when you bear the unbearable,and it is only in that night of sour that you are prepared to love as God loves.Now is the time to let your grief find expression,no false strength.Now is the time to sit quietly and speak to Racheal and thank her for being with you all this few years and encourage her to move on with whatever her work is,knowing that you`ll grow in compassion and wisdom from this experience.

In my heart I know that you and she will meet again and again,and recognise the many ways in which you`ve known each other and when you meet,you`ll know in a flash what now is not given for you to know,why this had to be the way it was.

Our rational minds can never understand what has happened,but our hearts,if we keep them open to God,will find their own intuitive way.Racheal came through you to do her work on earth which includes her manner of death.Now,her soul is free and the love that you shared with her is invulnerable to the winds of changing time and space.

In that deep love,include me.
