Introduction to “Snippets”
This book came into being through the information that was ‘dictated’ to me when in a meditative state over the last twenty years or so. You may ask the question: ‘Why so long?’ The honest answer is, that I didn’t trust myself, or perhaps better explained, that I doubted myself to be considered a channel good enough to have this information fed through me.
What if it was all just a big delusion? What if it was just my ego that wanted some recognition? What if the ‘source’ was dubious and just played tricks on me? What if people considered me to be another vulnerable New Age crackpot?
However, I had not counted on ‘their’ patience with me, their understanding of my doubts and their never-ending love and persistence to see this information in some kind of print form to have it passed on to others.
There often were long gaps in between dictations; sometimes it was because of circumstances or for personal reasons such as going through divorce, moving house or completing my doctoral thesis.
However, each time when I allowed myself to be still and spend some time in quiet meditation, I knew ‘they’ were there. How? I felt it in my right hand – at first it started with a slight twitch, then it progressed to a kind of ‘rolling’ of the hand backwards and forwards as if they were trying out how to operate my hand. I knew intuitively what this meant – someone was trying to make ‘contact’ with me. I was familiar with the term ‘automatic writing’ as a means of spirit entities [or those on the ‘other side’] trying to communicate with us. The next time I had pen and paper ready ‘just in case’.
The results have been fascinating – the pen easily scribbled over the paper. I first heard the words in my mind and then it was written down. As soon as a sentence or phrase was completed on paper the next sentence was formed in my mind. The whole process was very fast and didn’t take any effort on my part. I felt there was no need to make corrections or reformulate words or sentences. As long as I stayed ‘with it’ and maintained that relaxed state, it flowed easily.
What also astounded me was the fact that, even after a substantive break, the thread was taken up again as if there had been no interval in time at all. The main message was always the same – the urgency to get it through to the people. At times there were some personal messages for me, mainly to help me over a difficult period or to reassure me of their authenticity and serious intentions to help mankind.
All messages commenced with a ‘Greeting from Spirit’ and finished with ‘Blessings’ or ‘God bless’. For me this was quite reassuring as I always asked for the highest truth and information from the highest source to be used for the highest good of all. I always asked for protection and love and light to be send to me before I started meditating, as I was aware that there are also negative and deceptive forces at work.
So who were ‘they’? And how did a message look like? (All spirit messages are in italics.) I will give an example of one of the messages received on 5/1/ 1995:
Greetings for the New Year from all of us in spirit.
It has been some time that we used this channel to send some messages to you, but the vibrations are more conducive to true channeling now. The channel herself has gained in knowledge and ‘skills’ of receiving our input. There is still a matter of trust to be established - that will come in time. First and foremost is the willingness and commitment to be used as a channel. It takes some adjustments and an open mind, without being too trustworthy.
A quiet moment set aside each day will aid in the development. The purpose of this writing is to – someday – put it all together in book form and pass on the ‘snippets’ of truth, understanding and wisdom to others. The need will be there to share the wisdom.
We are a ‘collective force’, but all with the same purpose in mind - to serve mankind, to alleviate suffering and to aid in the individual’s development. I am only the spokesperson for the group, because of my long association with this channel.
May our love and understanding be with you to support you in your daily life.
Blessings, Alfonsus

About the Book
“A new way of living”
—Do we need to change our way of living on this planet?
According to this book, a definite “Yes!” Our attitudes, priorities, and the way we have looked after the environment have resulted in a situation that is no longer sustainable for a healthy and harmonious future for us and for generations to come. We have seen increased pollution of the air and water; diminishing forests, ice caps, and ozone layers; warming of the planet, resulting in weather and climate changes, and with that danger of extinction for many bird and animal species. And let’s not forget: danger for the survival of us human beings!
Can we still do something about it, or is it all too little and too late? What is our fate? The message in this book can be considered a wake-up call, an urgent reminder to mend our ways, to change our attitudes, and to have a critical look at what is happening around us; what our roles are and what we as individuals and members of groups and communities can do to bring about change.
We are not alone in this endeavour—the messages giving us support and encouragement are coming from a spirit source, channeled by the author through automatic writing. The special readings deal with topics such as: where we come from, what our purpose is, predictions and climate changes, together with information on relationships and finding inner peace and spiritual growth.
Let us all strive for a happy and rewarding outcome!
