Mother Mary's Garden,

I Just Say Thank You!

By Nancy Vinson, September, 2006

This book has influenced me more than any other spiritual book I have read so far.  I so love Mother Mary for this gift that is truly remarkable!   It has just opened my eyes in so many ways and made me much more aware than I was before.

When I first was looking into the Master Keys to the Abundant LIfe, I thought maybe this was how to achieve financial abundance in a spiritual way, but this was how to have the all-encompassing abundance of life itself!   This book took abundance to an entirely new level.

The first page I dog-earred to come back for reference was about how we ourselves have rejected God's abundance and created our own limitations and suffering.   Since I have dealt with some suffering as most of us have in some way, this has made me look at my part and my beliefs in this for the first time.

Another page I turned down to come back to was about how instead of interacting with other people from a state of lack, we are now presented with coming from that state of abundance.   This ultimately leads to abundance for everyone where everyone wins. This is much better than feeling like we have to fight to hold on to limited resources and be in a state of dis-ease in relationship with others.

Going further into the book, it is so reassuring to know that God is part of me and that reality is the real me not the ego self. Then knowing I can have that oneness with all life keeps me from seeing other people as somehow outside and threatening when they ARE myself.   This makes it easier to give as it is a gift to myself as well to give to other people now.

What really impacted me as well is that we can go outside the container of the created self and come from the Conscious Self which is how we can transcend all the former mistakes.   I learned that I can identify with It instead of the ego and this makes life less a struggle as I can miraculously just change my mind!!

Who in their right mind would want to be in a prison of erroneous beliefs that make them miserable when your Will which is what we really want anyway is available with a slight move up of consciousness.   It was so encouraging that Mother Mary said we had the key all the time but did not know it.

I have realized too in her book that we must forgive ourselves and everyone or stay trapped in duality.   I needed to know this and realized I had been holding on to anger and needed to work on this.

I think I have always not liked making decisions and did not go inward enough to know what they should be.   It is important that those decisions be in harmony with God's laws and if I had truly known that, I know my life would have had much less suffering and much more joy.    There is just no joy outside of God because that is where He is.   I have experienced going around so many useless mountains trying to be good enough to have that joy.

It really would make life better to know and integrate that God is right where I am and I am not the doer.   I have worked so hard and gotten so fatigued not really knowing this.   I even asked the other day for God to help with groceries and this can be in any activity I undertake.   Why have I made life so hard? It is because I have been in the duality consciousness with its neverending "carrots" and no real progress.   I know now what the real problem has been.

One of most profound exercises to do in the book was to ask why we are afraid to turn around and face God. What has kept us off the true path? Here, right here, was the monster of feeling unworthy which has taken so many disguises. I thought it was too late; I had gone to far and I was ashamed and weary.   What an insight but also to know that God welcomes me back in open arms.   This make me feel tears and chills come up right now as this is the Truth for me and all of us willing to face it.

I also learned that I need to be love in action and to integrate this into everyday life when I make even the smallest decisions.   Am I coming from the Conscious Self or from the ego?   The difference is staggering and all-important.   I am looking at my decisions so differently now and I make mistakes but see them more.   It is like I am being asked to come up higher and wake up.

Doing the four recommended rosaries had me coming up higher in discipline as I was not going to let anything stand in my way of completing this for myself.   Some days I would cry as I read the words that shifted perceptions that I had never had.   I could feel the warmth of energies changing in me and I have felt so much more Connected as a result.

This book is truly life-changing and I think it can help us all understand why we are here and answer questions we have always had but could not figure out.   I have always wanted to know why we are here. This book answers that life question.

I know I will never be the same from what I have learned and am starting to apply .   I love you Mother Mary and realize how much you love all of us, and to you Kim, I am forever grateful for this gift of service.   I hope Master Keys to the Abundant Life will continue to help others as much as it has me.
