An Interview with Nadine May ( On channel 2 woman's world- 2002)
“There are hundreds of “life-changing” self-help books on the market—what makes both your workbooks The Language of Light, The Meditations on the Language of Light and your two ascension novels any different?”
“The Language of Light workbook introduces a powerful mind-drawing technique through which the participant enters into their creative private meditative space while doodling. This amazing process opens the door and window of our soul. (subconscious) This personal symbolic language will open our hearts and through these mind-drawing experiences a greater understanding of ourselves, and how our mind set creates our realities. Mind-drawing provides a scientific methodology that can help us to solve personal issues within minutes or hours, not months or years.”
“What are your credentials, and what makes you feel you have a right to write books on the topic of ascension?”
“I almost died at age 17 through having a pure lack, desire or will to live. At the age of 28, when my children were both attending primary school I had a psychic experience that I simple could not ignore. Shortly after this thought provoking challenge, my dreams became more and more real to me. Only in later years was I ready to accept that I was in communication with a great mentor, who deeply touched my life and helped me to discover to what purpose my Soul consciousness wanted to dedicate this incarnation; to find or map-make our journey home. During the early seventies I became a student of science, theology, and philosophy to understand our connection with the Divine. This often made me want to share my passion with other people with the desire to break through any obstacles they might have, and to show how to attract the realities of our dreams.”
“Your first novel ‘the Awakening Clan’ defines “true love” as a perfect balance of pleasure and pain. What exactly do you mean by this? And how do people experience true love?”
“Whether the conflict you’re experiencing is in your relationship, at work, a health issue, or a financial concern, the first novel The Awakening clan takes the reader away from their day to day lives into an imagery plot that could well be their own. This method of teaching, through story telling, has been used for thousands of years and it has shown to be consistently effective. So many people are endlessly searching for a one-sided love, that is, one with only happiness without sadness or nice without mean. In fact, this is a very common fantasy, which leads many people (including myself) right to false expectations, broken hearts, and depression. I had to learn by experience how we mirror the reality that is projected by our minds. Through story telling the character Ingrid knows that she can manifest any desire that is truly in her heart and stay in balance knowing who she is.”
“What made you decide to use Holland as the backdrop for your novels? I understand that you were born in Holland and emigrated to Australia when you were 21, and during the seventies emigrated to South Africa, but did you not awaken to your spiritual purpose in South Africa?”
“What most people didn't’ know was that I was a recovering dyslexic; in Holland it was called lees-blind. For me to write about the gripping visions I had in a language that was not my mother tongue was very daunting. I hoped to spread the ‘word’ so to speak, through the arts,, teaching drawing skills and through Art Therapy. That was my background, so for many years I explored what we hide in our subconscious through that creative medium. My nursing background and my marriage counseling experiences in later years added a depth to my own research. The ascension workshop was born in 1995. I was getting bored with teaching people drawing skills. I wanted to go deeper where most of us dare not go because of the pain. Through mind-drawing techniques it seemed safe to explore further. The decoding of our genetic blueprint program was revealed to me during the nineties. I started to understand how our hidden 'beliefs' often create our obstacles in life. I tried to explain my visions to my students then, but it was too difficult. I was figuratively speaking bullied into writing it down as a story. When the character Annelies took charge of the ascension workshop, everything fell into place.
To come back to your question; why the Holland setting? I had to write from the heart.
I was and will always be Dutch. I speak with an accent; I have a mannerism that is Dutch. I love South Africa and will probably never go back to live in Holland, so I felt good about starting the ascension journey in Holland. It’s in the fourth novel that my setting is gradually moving to Buttercup valley and to South Africa.”
“The five stages or levels of consciousness you often refer to, is that some sort of a recipe? You told me that when you started to write your first novel, you knew there would be five novels. Why? "
“I learned that through teaching people drawing skills, like Betty Edwards, the author of the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, our mind needs to travel from one point to the next to trigger a perception. The first ascension level deals with having a motivation and in the mind-drawing the Language of Light the motivation becomes the Idea. The second and third novels: The Astral Traveller and The Cosmic Explorer. deals with the gathering of information stage. In mind-drawing I use the formats in which certain exercises are done.
“Yes it is a recipe and it works! It worked in teaching people to draw, so it will also work in waking us up to our true Soul potential. The first novel: My love We Are going Home ( which we later re-published under the title The Awakening Clan) was written as a cosmic romance, a love affair most of us deeply desire. It is the love affair with ourselves that becomes the trigger, the motivation to partake on our ascension journey. Once we redefine what true love is, we’ll come to realise that we’re inescapably surrounded by it.”
“You mention an idea you call “Divine Order.” In terms of our Soul, Oversoul, Group souls and so on. Why do you use these terms?”
“When I was a nurse, I was riveted by Rudolf Steiner's work and had the opportunity to read many inspiring books. He often referred to what he called “Divine Love and Order.” Rudolf said that few people ever come to experience this highly ordered awareness, but those who do have their lives changed forever. When I read his books again years later, this idea inspired me to go on a quest to find a way of helping myself and others to discover and come to know this underlying divine order. Like the language of mathematics, our mental though's manifests as 'codes' and it's these 'codes' that creates our reality. Its a very powerful concept once you grasp what that means.
Whether you see it through religious or scientific eyes makes little difference to me, but there truly exists an underlying order in our daily lives. It's all in the Language that we mentally and emotionally project. My workbooks are designed to help people experience this state of ordered awareness, which will help them experience greater moments of inner peace and love.”
“You often refer to having gratitude for the magnificence. How can you say there is magnificence when so many people seem to be suffering?”
“Within every crisis, there is a hidden blessing, and within every setback, there is a new step forward. When we look at the events in our lives from a perspective of balance and order, we begin to see the underlying synchronicity and magnificence in our daily lives. Instead of taking a lifetime to discover that terrible events are actually married to terrific outcomes, why not have the wisdom of the ages without the aging process? Why not assist yourself through the help of a methodology that can help you find the terrific gifts out of these events quickly and efficiently? We live in a magnificent universe. Just look at the living cell, the human body, or the shining stars, and then realise that we’re one with this intelligent universe, and we’re also here to dare to shine, showing our own true magnificence.”
“Especially through your website you mention how people can awaken their true Soul purpose. How does someone do this? "
"When I was in elementary school, my parents were told by my first grade teacher that I would probably never be able to write — nor would I go very far or amount to much. I had a learning disability and couldn’t comprehend a language. Years later with the help of an English grammar teacher in Port Elizabeth; who helped to re-edit my first novel so I could enter it in a competition, I was able to transform my life into that of a writer / author. It was this inner voice; I called POWAH in my novels that told me to awaken The Language of Light the language of my Soul during every moment for the rest of my life in order to awaken my Soul purpose. Now, after many drawings and creative activities through writing this has led me to awaken my truest nature, my inner and inspiring genius, which we all have within. Thousands of people have transformed their lives by believing in themselves. What we think about ourselves absolutely does make a difference."
“In your books, you refer to awakening to full consciousness, What does that mean?”
"In the last five years I began scanning my life as thoroughly as I could, and I discovered something quite profound: Whenever I became inflated with self-importance or was overly supported, praised, or lifted up by somebody, I would unexpectedly receive a balancing challenge, reprimand, or put-down by someone else simultaneously. It was as if a healthy balance was being provided by an unknown source. I knew that a higher part of me tried to make me aware that the persona who is proud becomes humbled and the persona who is humble becomes exalted. The scriptures refer to the same dynamics. Our obstacles are often confronted by us when we go off line so to speak. Our thinking patterns hold the secret! I also knew that the proof of our manifestations is in the results, so I had to learn to take responsibilities for my own reality, created by my own thoughts and actions.
"Reaching full consciousness means to me that we have fully awakened to the living experiences as a human being. While we are masters at materializing anything in order to have our dreams come true, we control what we call physical matter. We could walk on water and do the miracles Jesus talked about, and more. The sadness (virus) is often hidden in our belief that we have about who we are. The five levels of consciousness were compiled and modeled from people who actually lived their dreams and achieved or accomplished their goals. They involve purposeful thinking, vivid visioning, powerful affirming, inspired feeling, detailed planning, prioritised acting, and thankfully accepting that we are just as divine and powerful as any master, saint or guru."
“One of your characters ‘Toon’ says that the quality of people’s lives is based upon the quality of the questions they ask themselves. What are some quality questions you have people ask themselves?”
“What I have learned was that when I reshuffle my economic resources and valuable time in such a way as to be able to take time off for a costly vacation, I stay in the reshuffle lack of abundance mode… My mind is creating the reality I program that makes me as a human being experience a lack. When I visualise or imagine manifesting my dream to see my family with images that feels rewarding, and when I add ideas that could also make it a profitable vacation, then my mind seems to open doorways to a far more inspired and fulfilling life. There always seems to be two pathways that my mind can manifest or take me where I might want to go. That is what I make Toon do in my novels. He takes the second pathway, but me as the writer has often taken the first approach. Through the novels the reader will know which pathway they themselves often take and from which of the two directions they need to make a break.
"Following an ascension journey with full intent does not mean that there are no obstacles to overcome during the journey, but to have a dream and knowing you will reach your goals. That in itself gives us the most rewarding feelings while we are playing the human game. "
What I learned from the The Teachings of Don Carlos is:
"As egos we need to defend ourselves, but if we stop perceiving ourselves as egos, accepting instead that we are fields of energy, then we will change our view of reality, and our behaviour in it. As fields of energy we are concerned about the appropriate use of energy, that is with impeccability."Interview was typed out from a tape -

My aim is to write about the possible future we could have if we have reached full awakening.
My first ascension novel The Awakening Clan is an account of people who are investigating biological ascension and how their lives change as they move through the course into Higher levels of reality.
My novels are works of fiction but the story could be real. I write about the ascension journey, meaning awakening to full consciousness.
Each novel has a workbook linked to it so that the reader can fully participate in the same journey that my characters do.
Each novel is an account of the five levels of awakening in consciousness that I was shown through visions years ago. My interpretations of them are my own, but I've at written it so that each reader can take from it what they need.The five levels of awakening before biological ascension can be experienced

Each novel is a fictional plot but hidden in the story are the codes that will trigger an ascension key only accessible to each individual reader. Why? Because the genetic code is different for each individual.
Each person's genetic cell memories are programmed with a unique variety of vibrations and only their own soul qualities of light frequencies can activate their DNA
The five consciousness awareness levels run through each novel, but by following the Jaarsma's ascension journey story from the beginning, each person will see the mirror of their own Divinity.
The decoding exercises that will activate our multidimensional DNA

This first workbook titled The Language of Light has many creative mind-drawing exercises that will trigger the language of the soul of each artist from within.
My mind-drawing workshops are followed by a genetic decoding system and it covers a decoding method for biological ascension unique to each individual.
My first ascension novel that I advertise through my web sites is an account of people who are investigating biological ascension and how their lives change as they move through the course into Higher levels of reality.12 worksheet
