Sponsor needed to publish book

AN Umbilo pensioner is looking for a sponsor who can help publish her book on spirituality in hard copy, so it will be available to all South Africans.

Yolanda Armien has been a member of the Centre of the Universal Mind for the past 17 years, where she has received guidance and messages from numerous mediums, and this has been a support to her in her spiritual development.

She has recently completed her personal book about spiritualism, Knocking on Heaven's Door, It's No Secret What God Can Do, which is available online, which she feels can help others understand more about themselves and their individual circumstances.

“This is a personal manuscript based on the belief system of spiritualism, done by the gift of automatic writing. It is about the spirituality of human nature in the individuality, based upon the universal laws of cause and effect, individual karma, if you like. The book if based upon human behavioural patterns. In the 17 years of learning to write, type and spell by myself, with the help of daily prayer meditation, I battled to find someone to help me publish over many years, especially as I am a pensioner. I met someone at my church in Glenwood who helped me to publish the ebook onto the world wide web in December 2014. I was happy, however this is a South African story any only those with kindles will have access to download the book. The man on the street doesn't even know what a kindle is,” she said.

Yolanda said she was looking for someone who could help make her dream of printing the book in hard copy, so it was available to all.

“The book is down to earth spirituality which may help any age to circumvent the reasons of birth and so-called death, grief management and the alternative vernacular of the original teachings of spirtitualism. It's not a religion, it's a way of life. Everyone deserves access to this,” she said.

Yolanda has come a long way, from humble beginnings. She was a dyslexic child with no formal education, only the basic bantu education of the time.

“I was different, from a poor, coloured middle class family from the ghetto. I was misunderstood as a child and was forced to leave home at 14 because my father was ignorant of my condition,” she said.

She was forced to live in the notorious District 6 during the Group Areas Act and left Cape Town by her 19th birthday when the Act forced the coloured people to the Cape Flats.

“I arrived in Durban three years before my 21st birthday and worked for a long time in the Grey Street kasbah area,” she said.

She and her husband moved to live in a disabled frail care old age home and her husband died in 2012. She is a senior citizen who lives on a pension and assisted living by the Department of Social Welfare.
