The Manifestation Diaries

Here are the chronicles of exploring manifestation with an open mind and sceptical heart. These are ideas that enchanted and bewildered me, though not without some edge of doubt. The answers for the workings and magic of life, and reality, are mysterious and rarely certain, but at least for a time, I suppose these were mine.

Secrets of a season, stories from a period of youth, seen through my starry eyes, wild imagination and midnight dreams.

Found Between Cultures

 

 

As a child, Mila and her brothers were taken, under a cloud of secrecy, by their parents from their home, school, extended family, country and culture. They were not allowed by their parents to talk about their forthcoming journey. When either parent made an order, the children obeyed. This order not to speak drew eight-year old Mila to pay special attention to her life.

This is a story with an interesting scope. It is about escape from oppression, about family, and about her various journeys through different cultures. Mila writes about her adjusting to the challenge of a new culture, home and language in Australia. She highlights the different ways that members of her family respond to this same challenge.

At the heart of this book is Mila’s understanding of our obligation to stay true to ourselves that reveal to us who we are, unrelated to our family or culture. Through the gift of her story, she is also celebrating the common humanity that binds us all, no matter where we come from.
