Through meditation, I was able to elevate my spiritual connection to the Universe. On one sunny Saturday morning, I set my intention asking the Universe for more encouragement, love and understanding in our daily lives. The Universe heard my declaration and gifted me with the ability to write the words infused in my mind which took form and became a reality. The next day Sunday, I began writing inspirational, encouraging and spiritual poetry. It transformed my life as I was experiencing extreme challenges in my life. I realized that my challenges were not unique but shared as we are of the same DNA.
This collection of poetry carries my intention to promote personal growth while elevating spiritual growth. It is my hope you’ll read these poems with earnest reflection and consider how they apply to your past and present life.
Thank you for spending these moments with me.

Inspirations From the Universe by Nick Olsen is a collection of short poems intended to “promote personal growth while elevating spiritual growth” according to the author. His ultimate goal is to help in creating a “global community of Spirit.” He explains that these writings were channeled from the universe’s realities through him and were delivered onto the page in their purest form. On his acknowledgment page, he thanks the Creator of the Universe, and in his preface, he quotes Proverbs 22:11. Nand Harjani, the creator of Creative Live Sciences, writes the foreword, indicating that Mr. Olsen’s writings are representative of his program, which seems to be a spiritual movement incorporating universal principles of most religions. Words and phrases like “aura,” “nirvana,” “soul mandate,” “angels,” and “soul evolution” pop up as descriptors of this spiritual movement. Mr. Olsen says that these poems came to him inspirationally, and he simply recorded them.
These poems inspired me as they will any person who is seeking or already involved in holistic spiritual ideas. They speak of compassion, love, forgiveness, clarity of mind, determination, hope, wisdom, and peace, to list a few. They also mention the enemies of human development such as personal ego, selfishness, doubt, guilt, and shame. Mr. Harjani points out the poem “What If,” and my favorite is “So Simple Then,” which centers around the concrete childhood image of a sliding board. Most of the metaphors are more abstract, but they all point us toward perfecting the integration of “mind, body, and soul.” These poems will make you think, each one moving you to a more complete view of the universe and mankind’s role in it. I know I will be coming back to Inspirations From the Universe by Nick Olsen again and again.
