Aren’t life’s synchronicities amazing? As you know, I’ve been reading about Dorothy Maclean one of the founders of Findhorn, the spiritual nature-cooperating community in northern Scotland. Much to my surprise, when she was younger, she worked for the British secret service (at the time Canada was still a part of England) and her boss was William Stephenson. I had read about Stephenson many years ago in the biography “A Man Called Intrepid” and really enjoyed the story. He is also somewhat indirectly famous in that he is the spy that inspired the James Bond 007 character. Although he worked as a British spy, he was born and raised in Canada.
I’ve been reading this great book about Dorothy Maclean, one of the founding members of Findhorn – the community in Scotland known for it’s close connection with nature spirits. Thought I’d mention it just in case some of you would like to check it out. The book is called, Memoirs of an Ordinary Mystic, but Dorothy was far from being ordinary. She’s the one who heard messages from the nature spirits, which she called devas. I’m enjoying the book immensely, because it describes her ordinary beginnings in the Canadian town of Guelph, and how chance circumstances brought her to a life of spiritual dedication and eventually to begin the marvelous gardens in Findhorn.
