Dear Editor,
In my opinion a lover of poetry in Guyana was the late Ian McDonald.
I have had significant interaction with him on one occasion involving an anthology of Guyanese poems in which my name was in the index of the publication but the content did not show any of my poems.
Mr. McDonald responded to my concern encouraging me to value my literary effort. He was like a father concerned about my literary health.
I consider Mr. McDonald as a great gift to Guyana not only as an intense lover of excellent poetry, but as one who linked his knowledge and experiences to give sound and meaningful advice.
An icon I think, enthused in life over the beauty of rich poetry.
I am sorry he is no longer in body with us.
Regards,
Krishna Nand Prasad

(Kaieteur News) – There was a time in Guyana when a child caught reading a book was considered a good thing.

Krishna Nand Prasad, I have never met Mr Ian McDonald in person at anytime while I Lived in Guyana, but I have written in his Reply Column in The Stabroek News, to encourage him and springle a few pearls of TRUTHS out to any receiving Mind who wishes to become a Mystic and who is trying to understand our World and break Free from its Prison and its firm grip/grasp of the Human.
Mr Ian McDonald is now in transition and is seeing with wide open eyes and enthralling understanding what a wonderful place this World Earth is…….Oh, if only we understood while we were alive – But on our own, its very very difficult to see for ourself and we go on doing “Monkey See, Monkey Do” and nothing ever changes in our own life or the World, just the same old, same old, and more Suffering and more Poverty.
In Mr McDonald Memory, I will reveal the most thrilling Liberating Understanding to break free from this Prison of DUALITY – our World.
Firstly, its been said that whatever you see in the World comes from a projection of your own Mind….This is TRUE….Very TRUE.
If you want to see PEACE (in the World). If you wish to have ABUNDANCE(in your Life) . If you wish to see BEAUTY or LOVE or HONESTY in the World or in your Own Life then the Individual has to BECOME that attribute or Characteristic they are seeing in front of them, or wishing to manifest or make magic to appear. You must become what you are trying to bring about or bring out into the World……It is simply one does not understand his OWN POWER or WHO HE/SHE IS……Everyone has awesome Power, DIVINE POWER !
How to do this?
You do not have to wait or stay Patient until you figure out how to achieve this. (You may then have to wait Million of Years or until everyone else is free from the grip of Fear and eventually you will be free as you ride on their coat-tail) .
When you are afraid, or you are in a constant field of FEAR……then you have to confront this FEAR – face to face, and then the FEAR will DISSOLVE.
To do this – you stop, breathe, and feel for your Heart Center. Then Stay there, feeling your Heart-Pulse until you are ready, then ask internally where is this Fear in me hiding – come out now and show yourself. Because Fear is not Real It will dissolve on its own or crumble with the weight of the Light of Understanding.
(F – False
E – Evidence
A – Appearing
R – Real
Now to transcend the Prison of Duality, you just return to your Heart-Center and say “I LOVE YOU”
Do not use this Divine Technique to hurt Others for you will become the first one to feel its awesome Power and hang from its horn of a dilemma.
The World is changing now, and many will choose to remain in this World of (Trickery and Control and Anti-Love) only what they know, and that is their choice. You must know that Our God has made many Worlds to accommodate his Children, so you must choose which World (Love or Fear) you wish to remain in.
And so I join you Krishna, in sending my sincere Condolences to all his Family and all his Friends.
