Machaelle Small Wright

This is a fascinating book about the continued exploits of Machaelle Small Wright further to her explanations in her previous book “Behaving as if the God in all life mattered”.

At the beginning of the book, Nature, with which Machaelle communicates, provides us with a few definitions – of Consciousness, Soul, Intent, Intuition, Grounding and Balance and gives us a short introduction to the White Brotherhood.

Machaelle´s first “ring-pass-not-expansion” occurred in 1976 when she show more “opened to the world of nature intelligences”. In this book, she attempts to explain her second expansion, In such an expansion the experience is beyond that which the person has experienced prior to that time.

We learn how Machaelle meets her future partner Clarence and how they come to settle in Perelandra where she begins to communicate with devas and nature spirits.

Machaelle has several amazing experiences and comes into contact with a Buddhist monk in the spirit world who teaches her about meditation. She meets him on a bridge every day for two years and he transmits information to her.

She connects with a “space soul” called Hyperithon and gets a gold disk implanted in her forehead. Now she can communicate with him whenever she wishes. She begins to think about (General) David Dwight Eisenhower and feels she knows him. She contacts Hyperithon, who tells her that she had been linked with Eisenhower in several lifetimes, the last time in World War II. Eisenhower, who now calls himself David, contacts her and they get to meet, in London.

Machaelle also gets to meet other men connected with David. They live in England in what she comes to call “the Cottage”, but it is not the England we know but an England that is slightly different and exists either in a different dimension or a different “Earth” (she doesn´t really explain which, as far as I recall).

I wish that Machaelle had clarified this, as I find it fascinating. Robert Monroe also mentioned this England in one of his phenomenal books about OBEs; he also visited this place.

David Eisenhower is of course “dead” and he lives at the Cottage with various other “dead” men, and apparently they all do White Brotherhood work, though what precisely they do is not explained enough to my liking. The other people on this other “Earth” or in this other dimension are not “dead”, as far as I understand, but live normal lives. I may be mistaken about this, however.

This book is all about Machaelle´s travelling back and forth on a daily basis between Perelandra on the Earth plane and the Cottage level. At the Cottage level she uses another body, that of Katie, who is also “dead”. As I´ve expressed in my review of Machaelle´s Mount Shasta book, I would also really like to know how these dead people get their bodies back; their bodies are similar, perhaps identical to those they had when alive, and presumably the original bodies have rotted away, but now here they have new ones!

The owners of the bodies have chosen a certain age for the new bodies, and these bodies do not age, and presumably do not “die” again. However, they can still have various problems.

In the latter half of the book, which becomes a bit tedious, and is in the form of a diary, the entries are mostly composed of notes on Machaelle´s testings of both her bodies for essences and also of the bodies of the Cottage men to relieve their various “physical” problems. Machaelle allies herself with her chiropractor on the Perelandra level, and together they can contact them all at the Cottage level, test them and help them.

Machaelle meets Katie´s father Max on the Cottage level; I can´t recall whether he is dead or alive, not that it matters. There is another man, John, who is not dead but alive on Earth, who visits them occasionally on the Cottage level. I believe that on the Earth level, or Perelandra level, as M calls it, John is not conscious of his appearances at the Cottage. Once even Clarence appears at the Cottage and is not conscious of this. Also, a couple of M´s pets appear there occasionally. Katie was a world class pairs skater and had won two Olympic medals. Machaelle (Katie) also meets Katie´s brother Seamus, who was a musician.

Machaelle learns something called the Split Molecular Process, whereby she can send objects, books, etc from the Perelandra level to the Cottage level.

Having two bodies causes Machaelle some physical problems, exhaustion, etc, which partially explains her dire need for essences and also chiropractic help.

At one point Charles De Gaulle (“dead” of course) visits the Cottage and Machaelle helps him with his problems.

Machaelle begins to channel Universal Light and spends much time writing these channellings down, but we are not shown them, not in this book at any rate, though they are available elsewhere.

Machaelle writes in an entertaining style and the subject of the book is, of course, original/fascinating, but the latter part of the book is, as stated, mostly composed of rather repetitive notes about the various essences they all needed.

I feel that the book would have been improved and more illuminating had Machaelle explained more about the White Brotherhood work they were doing at the Cottage, instead of the more trivial essence details.

Nonetheless, I found the book to be an inspiring read. show less

I read this book years ago before I began to write reviews. Now I´ve re-read the book in an updated and revised version.

The author begins with an account of her childhood, where she was neglected and eventually abandoned. Her mother, Dorothy, was a “disturbed” woman who became an alcoholic, while her father, Isodore, was always away on trips. Machelle had to lie about her age to find jobs in order to survive. Well, she must have learnt everything there is to know about show more self-reliance!

Machaelle arranged to get herself into a good Catholic girls` academy and converted to Catholicism. The school was no bed of roses, and a couple of the nurses were “mad”; one was “destructively mad”.

Later, she joins the CCNV (Community of Creative Non-Violence), where she meets her future partner, Clarence.

The two purchase a large property in Virginia, which is to become the renowned nature research centre, Perelandra.

Machaelle experiences “going home” and begins every day to meet a teacher on a bridge (not on the physical plane), who gives her instructions, including the basics of meditation; this continues for two years. She “astral travels” and performs services to people in distress.

Later, she writes a letter to Pope Paul VI and formally resigns from the Catholic Church.

She begins to read about Findhorn and learns about devas and nature spirits. After she asks aloud to work with these beings, they make contact with her.

The various devas (e.g. the Carrot Deva) identify themselves and give her instructions as to “what seeds to buy, what fertilizer to use, how far apart to plant the seeds, when to thin the plants and how much space to leave between them”, etc, etc. Each deva had its own vibration and, after a while, Machaelle could recognize the energies of the specific devas; she developed the ability to call on these by “aiming” her awareness at the deva´s own vibratory pattern. Eventually, she just needs to say “I´d like to be connected with the Deva of the Carrot”, and so on.

She also connects with the Overlighting Deva of the Garden and the Soil Deva. She receives just the information she needs at the moment.

We are given transcripts of some of Machaelle's channellings of the Overlighting Deva of the Garden, the Landscape Angel, the Angel of Sound, the Spinach Deva, and the Lilium Auratum Deva.

When they are running low on wood to burn, she is told by the Deva of the Woods where she can find a dead thirty-foot tree that will serve their needs.

The devas “create the package that includes the different components of a plant – once the package begins to take on five-senses form, the nature spirits take over – it is the responsibility of the nature spirits – (to) fuse to a plant its light, its essence, its life pattern and cycles.”

Machaelle meets with Peter Caddy (of Findhorn) and is told to remember that she is the creator of the garden. She is to “take a position of equal partnership with the devas and nature spirits”. She has to “face her own power and responsibility and not see herself as someone less than the devas and nature spirits”; she is different, not less.

She learns to visualize and manifest; she is told to verbally request and visualize one cubic foot of a specific manure. She connects to the deva of manure (yes, there is a deva of manure!), who pulls together the various energies of the manure. She connects with the nature spirits and then the energy of the manure joins her. She feels the manure “take on a sense of physicalness”; when she opens her eyes, there before her is the cubic foot of manure.

This was the episode that I remembered best from my first reading, years ago –how this manure manifests just beside her. The manifestation process had taken two hours.

At the end of the book, we are given a useful “simplified energy procedure” which you can use for an object, a room, building or community, etc. I´ve tried this myself – it wasn´t hard and seems to have worked.

The book is well-written and inspiring (though I´ve never before heard that one can write “a woods” and can´t find it in the dictionary either). Machaelle is thorough in her descriptions, and funny. She is an amazing person. I recommend that you read this absolutely original book. show less

I would deem Machaelle Small Wright to be the most knowledgeable person on the planet as regards flower essences. First and foremost, she has direct access to the horse's mouth, so to speak, that is, the Nature Spirits and Devas, or perhaps Deva in the singular, who tell her all she needs to know about making the flower essences and about the qualities and applications of the specific essences.

I don't myself work in this field at all, though on reading the book I have become convinced of the show more absolute value of flower essence treatments.

There are two extensive passages by the Overlighting Deva of Flower Essences, one at the beginning and one at the end of the book. The first explains: "We of Nature consciously accepted a partnership with humans that related to the development of their physical form and ... the upkeep and maintenance of that form ...". Also, "we took on the responsibility to balance the human form during times of dysfunction." "There is contained within Nature a pattern of healing that responds and relates to every specific dysfunction within mankind." "... it is the plant kingdom that we primarily utilize for infusing into the blueprint human healing patterns." This explains how flower essences are so valuable for our systems.

Machaelle begins by introducing us to Perelandra, her home and nature research centre, explains about her "co-creative energy gardening" and provides us with definitions of "devas" and "nature spirits".

In the first chapter she explains how the Perelandra Flower Essences are made. Then we are given definitions of each of the Perelandra garden Essences and the Perelandra Rose Essences. These definitions identify "the specific healing pattern that has been released from the flower into the water". She provides us also with short definitions for easy access. For example, "Cauliflower: Stabilizes and balances the child during the birth process", "Dill: Assists individual in reclaiming power balance one has released to others. Victimization." and "Summer squash: Restores courage to the person who experiences fear and resistance when faced with daily routine, Shyness. Phobia."

The book explains how we can get our own definitions from the Deva of flower essences for those flowers and vegetables not listed. This is quite an exciting process in my opinion. I haven't tried it myself, of course, since I have at present no desire, or rather time, to work with producing essences. Perhaps in another life.

There is a useful and detailed chapter on "Kinesiology: the Tool for testing". This includes a passage by Universal Light. And there's a chapter on when to use flower essences.

Machaelle describes the process involved in the basic flower essence test and advises about surrogate testing, testing for others.

There is a long chapter on additional flower essence procedures, including peeling and telegraph testing. Sometimes whatever is making you feel unwell or unbalanced is in layers and the peeling process removes the layers one by one until you become clear. Telegraph testing is a tool to move through symptoms at lightning speed, minutes instead of hours or days. by the use of visualization or focus. (It's a bit complicated to explain so you will need to read the book, if you're interested in this,)

There are sections about testing your family or group, on another process called the two-week essence process, on finding out causes of past problems, essences and the death process and essences and animals.

Machaelle is intelligent and articulate, and the book is extremely well-written, everything being explained in absolute detail. I don't think you could find a more qualified exponent on flower essences than this expert, her explanations being backed up by theoretical statements by such high beings as the Deva of Flower Essences and Universal Light.

I thoroughly recommend this book to all those interested in flower essences. show less

Based at Perelandra Garden in Virginia, Machaelle Wright has done more to advance the cause of working with nature spirits than any other person in North America in the twenty years since her books have been out. A very practical book about cooperation with the fairies to grow more food and beauty. Machaelle and other authors are moving humanity towards a practical cooperation with the nature fairy/deva evolution to clean up and heal the planet’s damaged environments. It
is perhaps in this show more field that our communication with the fairy/deva evolution is most urgent and needed. The Garden Workbook gives practical methods we can all use to communicate with our garden devas and fairies. A simple kinesiology technique
with the fingers to get yes/no answers to questions. show less
