TAKE ACTION TODAY

Dear sherrie:

Thanks to YOUR help, the Production Tax Credit (PTC) is now close to being included in the economic stimulus bill! This bill is currently being debated and the Senate is expected to vote on it as early as tonight.

Today is our last chance to urge the Senate to approve the Production Tax Credit (PTC). Contact your Senators NOW and let them know how critical this tax credit is to the growth of renewable energy sources.

Thank you for your continued support of renewable power sources like wind.

Sincerely,

Randall Swisher
Executive Director

AVAAZ UPDATE

Dear friends,

People power works! A top Japanese paper just reported that Avaaz members helped change Japan's policy on climate change. Now we're launching a Crisis Action Fund for 2008 to keep up the pressure. Please give what you can:

CLICK TO DONATE


Huge news out of Japan: a top newspaper is reporting a major shift in climate policy, and citing Avaaz members as one of the reasons why!

The paper reports that at a critical, high-level meeting on global warming, the Environment Minister held up Avaaz's "Titanic" newspaper ad from the Bali summit--showing Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda, with Bush, steering towards climate disaster... along with a call for tough 2020 emissions targets, signed by 90,000 Avaaz members.

"The world sees Japan as a force resisting change! Are we okay with this?" the minister asked. The Chief Cabinet Minister suggested setting a target. Days later, Prime Minister Fukuda announced his decision: at last, Japan would set a 2020 emissions target!

This is a genuine victory. Japan is a huge polluter, a key Bush ally, and host of this summer's crucial G8 summit. Congratulations to everyone for the positive role we all played!

This story is also a great example of why Avaaz works. Global public opinion is powerful--but to make a difference, our voices have to reach decision-makers quickly. We had just hours to create Titanic ad after Japan took its position at the Bali summit. That's why we're launching a "Crisis Action Fund", so we'll have the money on hand when we need to act. Can we raise 50,000 Euros this week? Click below to make a totally secure donation:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/crisis_action_fund_2/5.php

To stay independent, Avaaz takes no money from corporations or governments--so building the Crisis Action Fund is up to individual Avaaz members. This fund will help us take effective action wherever necessary, in Pakistan, Kenya, Gaza, or places we can't predict.

It could pay for rallies in cities across the globe; it could buy vital communications equipment for endangered democracy activists; it could fund emergency media campaigns... whatever will have the greatest impact when our voice is needed the most.

Japan's not the only example. Here are some other moments when rapid-response people power made a difference in 2007:
Burma: When news broke in October of the violent crackdown against protesting monks, Avaaz members scrambled into action. Within 96 hours, more than half a million people called on the Chinese government to intervene, and Avaaz ran the total count in a full-page ad in one of the most influential global newspapers. Shamed, China successfully pushed Burma to start talks with the UN and with pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The Burma campaign continues to build.

Global poverty: When World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz's personal corruption undermined the Bank's programme to encourage good government, Avaaz members joined the cry for new leadership. With global media looking on, we hand-delivered 50,000 signatures to World Bank Headquarters. Wolfowitz resigned days later.

Global warming: In addition to the "Titanic" ad that moved Japan, more than 320,000 Avaaz members took action in real time during the Bali summit--successfully reversing Canada's obstructionism and isolating Bush as he attempted to scuttle any agreement. While just a first step, the "Bali Road Map" set the stage for climate breakthroughs this year and next.
What urgent moments will 2008 bring? Some we can predict--most we cannot.

What we do know for certain is that the new year will bring serious threats and golden opportunities. We know that in those critical moments, acting quickly can make all the difference. And we know that if we all contribute a little bit now, we'll be sure that whatever comes--and whatever is required of us--we will be ready.

Avaaz depends on Avaaz members like you to fund our campaigns. Don't wait for "someone else" to step in--we're it. To make a secure, online contribution to the 2008 Crisis Action Fund, just click the link below:

With much appreciation and hope,

Ricken, Pascal, Ben, Galit, Ben B., Iain, Paul, Graziela and the whole Avaaz team

PS: You can see a scanned-in copy of the Asahi Shimbun article, as well as a blow-up of the ad we ran in Bali, on the donation page. Apparently, Fukuda's inner circle began referring to the intense NGO response at the climate negotiations as the "Bali Shock." Here's the link: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/crisis_action_fund_2/5.php

INERTIA

The Bridge ~ Step 98 ~ Inertia

Everything we give our attention to becomes more, bigger, and brighter



Inertia is the force that keeps something or someone who is moving in motion, and it keeps something or someone who is resting at rest. In order to overcome it and have something new happen, a special kind of influence or energy is necessary. In terms of the quality of our lives, we'd have to care a lot more about our world than we've cared in the past. We'd need to start moving in a different direction. This is what The Code does, for embedded within its lines is the promise of a better life for all who are willing to think something new.

If you sit in on the average casual conversation today, much of the talk would likely center around the national picture, what the politicians are doing, and where "we" are headed. You and your friends would probably agree that the national situation isn't giving you what you really want; that you seem to have lost your freedom, your peace, your own power to do with as you please; that our war-like tendencies simply aren't serving us anymore; that our distribution of goods and natural resources favor the "haves" and penalize the bulk of the world's people; that you live in fear; and so forth. You could go on and on listing the flaws in the current system, and almost everyone would have an opinion which would ostensibly help to make things better from within the framework of the current system. The current system, however, is first and foremost an illusion that we choose to keep our attention on. We could just as easily talk about something else, if it weren't for the power of the inertia we keep bumping into. Just try to get your friends to set the topic of politics aside for awhile, and see what happens. In most instances, it would be as if no one heard you. They'd keep on talking, lost in the inertia of the national collective mind.

There are those who would say that we're powerless to make changes in the face of collective inertia, but this simply isn't true. As we said earlier, changes occur when a new influence or energy is introduced into the picture. So, let's shift the inertia by introducing The Code into our hypothetical scenario. We'll apply the Ninth Intent and make an intention around it by saying, "I intend that I am creating my ideal world by envisioning it and telling others about it. I share my vision." When we do this, our imagination is unleashed. We have a new direction, one which gives us the autonomy to create our own vision, and the knowing that, in the envisioning, we are actively and consciously creating something better for ourselves. Our power instantly returns to us, and, from this point on, we're back on track, doing what we came here to do.
From The Code: Intentions in Action

My Intention for today is:
I intend that I always have enough to spare and enough to share.

SAVE THE POLAR BEARS!!!!

Dear Sherrie,

Two weeks ago I wrote to tell you about a truly alarming situation - a delay in the decision to include the polar bear on the Endangered Species list - and asked you to take action.

Over 52,000 people signed our petition on behalf of the polar bear and sent a powerful message to the Bush Administration: We will not sit back and wait until the ice sheets melt and the last polar bear drowns before we address the devastating impact of global warming.

I wish I could tell you that our work is done, but the polar bear is still not listed and next week the Bush Administration will begin selling off oil exploration leases in Alaska’s Beaumont and Chukchi Seas - prime polar bear habitat, where an estimated one-tenth of the world’s polar bears live.

There is simply no time to lose and that’s why we need your support today. The last thing this animal needs is another threat to its survival. Because there is no proven method for cleaning up oil in the Arctic’s broken sea ice, an oil spill in this area would be catastrophic for polar bears.

Polar bears would be listed today but powerful special interests are fighting the decision at every step. That’s why we are asking you to donate today and send a message to the Administration that if they are serious about protecting the polar bear it’s time to include the polar bear on the Endangered Species List -now!

The polar bear has never needed that protection more than it does today. At a time when Arctic sea ice is melting at an alarming rate - so much faster than scientists predicted - the Interior Department should make safeguarding America’s polar bears a top priority. We need to make sure the polar bear is listed, and keep the pressure on the Administration and Congress to protect critical habitat from destructive oil drilling by putting America on the path to a clean energy future.

Please donate today and help save the polar bear before it’s too late.

Sincerely,


Greg Haegele
Director of Conservation

P.S. If we don’t act now to combat global warming, America’s polar bears could be gone in our lifetime. Please support the Sierra Club’s work to curb global warming, protect our wildlife and wildlands and keep our air and water clean.

LEGISLATION ACTION NEEDED IN COLORADO

I have information for you to pass on to as many people as possible for these bills will affect thousands in the state of Colorado. We are opposing HB 1064 the bill to license naturopathic doctors and support HB 1158, the Health Freedom bill which will protect everyone's right to practice. Please read the information below. You are also welcome to have people go to www.leg.state.co.us and read both bills under House and then click on the individual bills.

Update for Colorado Health Freedom Supporters!

This email includes information on:

Gathering before the Committee Hearing Feb. 4th
What to wear
Car Pooling
Testimony
Committee Hearing information
Yahoo Group
Why we oppose the Naturopathic Doctor bill

We are getting close to the vote on February 4th for both the Health Freedom Bill, (HB 1158) and the Naturopathic Doctor Bill (HB 1064).

We will be meeting in the cafeteria in the basement of the Capitol at 12:30 p.m., for those who are able to come early.

Also, since we are not allowed to have signs or wear buttons�we will all be wearing red. So if you have a red shirt, or red dress, etc� please try to wear red. If you don�t have red, that is okay too!

They have limited testimony on the Naturopathic Doctor bill to 45 minutes. I don�t know if they will also limit testimony on the Health Freedom bill or not. Because of that, if you want to testify, there may be a chance you will not be able to - due to the time constraints. I would highly recommend that you write your testimony and email and/or fax your personal letter to the members of the Health and Human Services. I will attach that list for you again.

The session begins at 1:30 p.m. This is held in Room LSB-A, which is in the building to the south of the Capitol. You can meet us in the Cafeteria and we can all walk over together. There are 4 bills on the docket. We do not know what order they will hear these bills. They could go in order or out of order. So we could be first at 1:30, or we could be the last two, and the hearing would go longer, maybe even into the evening. I just wanted to alert everyone to this so you can plan accordingly.

For those who have not ever attended a hearing - please act in a respectful manner. The committee members do not like to see others demonstrating, clapping, yelling, etc. Even if the �other� side does these things, we want to remain calm and respectful!

Some people have asked about carpooling. This is a good idea as parking is sometimes hard to find. If you will be driving and are able to take people, or if you are looking for a ride� the best thing would be to post this information on the yahoo group where everyone can make arrangements with each other. If you have not already joined the yahoogroup, please do this now. To join, send a blank email to: co4hfg-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I can also send you another invite to which you can respond and join as well. If you have problems, email me at: kimberlysharples@msn.com and I can help.


Some people are having a hard time understanding why the Naturopathic Doctor bill is not a good bill. "National Health Freedom Action's Law and Public Policy Director, Attorney Diane Miller, has come out with strong statements of support for the health freedom bill HB1158 and strong opposition to the mandatory licensing bill for naturopaths HB1064." Her website is www.nationalhealthfreedom.org.


I am going to list some points that may help when others ask why we are opposing this bill:

HB 1064 defines the practice of naturopathy and naturopathic medicine as the same thing, basically all of natural healing.


HB 1064 makes it unlawful for traditional naturopaths or natural health practitioners, from practicing anything within that definition. Those in violation can be charged with a Class 2 misdemeanor or a Class 6 felony.


HB 1064 also makes it unlawful to use titles or words, including naturopath or naturopathy, or ND, unless licensed as a Naturopathic Doctor as specified in the bill.


HB 1064 states that one must have only graduated from certain naturopathic medical schools, which eliminates thousands of other health care practitioners from practicing creating an exclusionary and monopolistic bill.


HB 1064 is poorly written with no honor of the traditional naturopaths and all natural health healers and practitioners.

UPDATE BY SHELDAN NIDLE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation
8 Ix, 7 Yax, 3 Manik
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selamat Jarin! We come again with more to say about your world and first contact. The machinations of the dark continue. Nonetheless, our Earth allies are confidant that their long-sought victory is upon them. Everywhere, the past actions of the dark ones are breeding immense contempt among their former minions, many of whom are beginning to realize the extent of their impending defeat. They are asking for an opportunity to be included in bringing about the changes that are about to happen. This fracturing of the last dark cabal intensifies the feeling among our Earth allies that the moment of celebration is indeed nigh. At the same time Mother Earth's preparations for her surface reconfiguration is gathering pace, adding to the evidence that the time for first contact is approaching fast. Even the rising chaos in your societies is now but a paper-thin diversion covering over the gaping cracks appearing in your reality structures. This splintering of your reality points in only one direction: your eventual return to full consciousness.

These encouraging developments are spurred on by the start of a cycle that leads to your global prosperity and to wonders that herald your future renaissance. With this in mind, we have been watching the reactions of a number of major governments to proposals, which we presented them with about three years ago. In these papers we argued that setting up a new currency with new financial procedures needed to be preceded by the release of the prosperity funds. But these proposals were rejected at that time, the argument being that such a massive destabilization was something to be avoided. Now, however, these same governments see things in a different light and are mostly in favor of instituting these changes. Recent developments have shown them that directions that once seemed advantageous are actually grievously in error. Only a small handful of nations now cling to their original position, the leader of this group being the current US regime.

This recalcitrant stance is prompting the members of the new economic system to welcome the break-away factions mentioned above, thus further isolating the US regime and its remaining adherents. We are now on the brink of major global policy changes that threaten the continued financial hegemony of the US government and the concomitant reliance on the US dollar as the world's prime currency. These changes will accelerate once those who can no longer stand what is going on legally propel the present US regime from power. These circumstances are on the horizon and bode well for our Earth allies' new fiscal and economic policies. With these changes comes the added responsibility of using the new fiscal and economic structures to bring forth the long-hidden devices that can quickly resolve the present energy and pollution crises that lay waste to your world. Moreover, the aggressive policies of many nations must be quickly throttled. In this peaceful and prosperous environment, ancient truths long buried by the dark can be disclosed.

First contact is the final truth in a long line of truths to be revealed. The UFO cover-up is a typical example of one of the control methods employed by the dark throughout the past 13 millennia: A story denying our existence is concocted by the governments, while these same governments build up a technology that relies heavily on advances gleaned from their dark off-world allies. This duplicity led inevitably to tales that, even by the standards of your world, defy reason or logical explanation. We watch as your media stirs this indigestible "dog's dinner" to near hysterical proportions. Our intent is simply to give you the facts behind the muddle and this, we hope, will allow the people to see through this hooey. Our task is to undo this nonsense and get your society to the point where these absurd preconceptions can be dispelled. Many individuals in prominent or prestigious positions on your world are secretly using present levels of goodwill to open the door to first contact. These ones are only a part of a much larger effort.

The move toward first contact is seen by the majority of those directly involved as the final act in a drama that takes your reality away from its present "norms" toward a range of new propositions. The world prior to first contact must be seen by the global populace to be going in a quite different direction from the present one. This means that we need to set up stages that can be leapfrogged if and when necessary. To this end, our Earth allies supplied us last fall with such an agenda, and this schedule has permitted us to coordinate a series of policy decisions that are secretly being implemented. (These are in addition to the strategies alluded to in past messages.) Generally speaking, a rising tide of favorable opinion shows us that a majority of those in positions of authority on your world would welcome our arrival.

These powerful and influential people see clearly that the dark's present direction is greatly at odds with the planet's destiny. Happily, Heaven is weaving a situation that makes a victory for the dark well nigh impossible. Further, a number of conditions are now present which suggest that the defeat of the dark's plans has the full favor of the Divine. In short, the dark's determined shot at world domination is fast losing ground, and this includes the strategies long espoused by their former masters, the Anunnaki. Having seen the wisdom of what is happening in the galaxy, these ones changed sides and left their on-planet, dark devotees in the lurch. The dark cabal took almost a full decade to recover from this reversal of fortune and to substitute a suitable stratagem that broadly mirrored the goals of the Anunnaki in the immediate post-World War II era.

The central element in the dark's control strategy is the use of fear, bolstered by the introduction of various new electronic and related technologies. Another element was to invite the galactic dark ones to participate in their on-planet "games," and this meant that a widespread cover-up of their joint activities was required. At the same time, Heaven began to step up her own program to prepare your world for something quite different: the return of the Light. This led to a great dichotomy in the world set-up, and Mother Earth further complicated this mix by doing what was predicted long ago: preparing for her return to her former resplendency. Examples of these opposing drives are, on one hand, the heart-felt ecology movement, and on the other, the recent world-shaking traumas, which demonstrate the dangers of a populace steeped in ignorance and cleverly manipulated.

We now stand on the verge of revelations that will show your world just how warped and unnecessary the continuation of this decade-long cover-up really is. First contact is something that we intend to carry out as soon as divinely possible. Heaven is ready to complete her divine plan and to affect the decrees of the Creator. Lord Surea has decreed, in his Righteousness and with the full power and sacred Thoughts of the Holy Seraphim that this galactic seed, Mother Earth, be brought the grand paradise that she so richly deserves. We stand in this great white Light and await what is to be given us as part of our divine service. You are our Brothers and Sisters; we cannot abandon you to the dark, and the Ways of Heaven have so concurred! Remember in your Hearts, Together, We are indeed Victorious!

Today, we continued our discussion of what is happening on your world. To us, first contact is a sacred act that comes as part of a momentous divine operation carried out by Heaven. The dark understands that it is on the verge of defeat. What is left is to do what Heaven wishes and to stay ready for First Contact. We now retire. Know in your Heart of Hearts that the perpetual Supply and infinite Abundance of Heaven are indeed Yours! Selamat Majon! Selamat Kasitaram! (Sirian for Rejoice! and Be Blessed in Heavenly Love and Joy!)

DARFUR UPDATE ON 24 HELICOPTERS

Dear sherrie,

One step closer - contact your senators today


Senators Biden and Lugar have introduced a resolution to help secure helicopters for the Darfur peacekeepers.


Contact your senators today and urge them to cosponsor this resolution

Thanks to you and 69,033 activists, President Bush heard the message loud and clear - peacekeepers in Darfur need 24 helicopters to succeed.

Your messages are making a difference.

Senators Biden and Lugar introduced a resolution yesterday urging world leaders to provide these helicopters. But they need to secure support from their colleagues to make sure the resolution passes.

Click here to urge your senators to cosponsor the Biden-Lugar resolution and help secure helicopters for the Darfur peacekeepers.

Last week, Sudanese President Bashir, in his most outrageous affront to the international community, appointed Musa Hilal, a militia leader who helped orchestrate genocide in Darfur, as a senior adviser on ethnic affairs.

The world's inability to provide just 24 helicopters - helicopters that can protect Darfurians from men like Hilal - tells Bashir that we are willing to sit back and tolerate such gross violations of international law.

Now is not a time to let up.

Leaders in the Senate are speaking out. Make sure your senators are among them. Click here and ask your senators to help find helicopters for Darfur!

After you have sent your message, please click here to ask your friends and family to join you in urging their senators to help secure helicopters for Darfur.

Thank you for your commitment to end genocide in Darfur.

Best regards,

Colleen Connors

WEALTH BEYOND REASON - BOB DOYLE

Sherrie,

Here's another chapter from one of the books included in the
"Wealth Beyond Reason" package!

Before we get into it though, I just want to ask a couple of
questions about what prompted you to sample this material.

Are you dealing with a lot of debt and stressed out? This
material will teach you how that stress is costing you money
and making the debt worse.

Are you always just barely making it month-to-month, and making
statements like, "I'm just barely making it month to month" or
"I can't afford that!"? If you are, you'll learn why those
statements are only perpetuating that "reality" for you.

Do unpaid bills lying on the table make your stomach hurt? This
program can help you change all that (and get those bills
paid!)

Remember that the "Wealth Beyond Reason" program was created to
SHATTER the destructive illusions you may have about wealth and
money - to show you new ways of thinking that actually CAUSE a
change in what's "real" about your financial situation.

Here's today's chapter:

http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/smpcht4.shtml

Enjoy!

Bob

P.S. You can start the actual program today and receive ALL
the books, the library of audio seminars, and expert
interviews - as well as the powerful audio meditations
and personal follow-up!

Join us now, while tuition is still low!

MESSAGE FROM MATTHEW

January 27, 2008


This is Matthew greeting you in this first month of your calendar year 2008, and what a year of decisive revelations it promises to be! So let us get right to this.

The eyes and ears of the world are aimed at the nominating primaries in the United States, and it is a grand circus that these are providing. Although Hillary Clinton is the Illuminati’s choice as the next US president—with good reason, as she is one of the most influential in that global group—they also have their reasons for rigging the voting process so that various candidates in each party come out on top in one state or another. As long as these “leading” ones remain hopeful of getting their party’s nomination, they will stick to Illuminati-approved topics and avoid critical issues. This keeps the real state of the union under wraps in their speeches along with keeping voters uncertain about whom to believe, whom to trust with presidential power in what is relentlessly publicized as an Al Queda-terrorized world. And how much more obvious can it be that the only candidates who are not under the thumb of the Illuminati are all but excluded from media attention? Take heart in knowing that not only will the light disclose the truth about the candidates prior to the November election, but efforts are underway to have an accurate vote count then. Parallel to the Illuminati’s nefarious efforts to put still another of their own in the White House, in a collaborative effort between Earth humankind and benevolent extraterrestrial family, there is a strong movement afoot to derail that dark plan. Eventually all leaders of all nations will be honest, wise and capable souls.

The same kind of joint effort is true about the economy disaster in the United States, which is reverberating around the globe. When your mainstream media use words like “economic downturn” and “recession”; banks are reporting gigantic losses; home repossessions are mounting; credit card debt is astronomical; stock market trading suspiciously rises and falls and rises and falls; mortgage lenders are going under; retail sales are down; small companies die and large ones send jobs to other countries where wages are at bare subsistence levels; you know that major changes in current business methods must occur.

The facts are, the United States has been bankrupt for some time—there is no foundation for the amount of currency in circulation and no means to repay the national debt—and financial turmoil will increase, not get back on a firm footing as the administration proposes will result from pouring a small amount of money into personal pockets and more into business pockets. That “spending stimulus” and measures being taken in other countries are the Illuminati’s frenzied attempts to keep the lid on the global economy, which they are desperate to keep under their control, but none of their ploys will work. The ever-increasing light will blow that lid right off and expose the root of deepening problems: the corrupt banking system, private ownership of the Federal Reserve and its Internal Revenue Service collection agency, manipulated stock markets, and exploitation of nations’ natural resources. Their long era of worldwide economic domination is crashing around them.

For the benefit of readers who may not know who the Illuminati are, I shall digress a moment to explain that this name meaning “illuminated,” or “enlightened,” was chosen by the darkly-inclined ones who generation after generation have oppressed your world and suppressed many truths. Also known as the secret government, the dark cabal or the elitists, it is not a membership society as such, but rather a large group of powerful individuals around the globe who essentially run governments; legal systems; royal families; religions; mainstream media; banking; education; medical field; entertainment venues; international corporations—in short, every business, organization and institution that profoundly affects life on Earth. The scope and tenacity of this dark web is why the peoples have been so easily controlled for so long. Earth, who is a sentient being, no longer is willing to tolerate the suffering of her human and animal life and her planetary body that is caused by the dark ones’ abuse of free will, and she asked for universal assistance so her residents can break free of the deeply entrenched deception, corruption, greed and tyranny. In a nutshell, that freedom process is what is happening in your world.

To return to the financial topic, the next several months can be likened to “the darkness before the dawn.” Many will experience hardships for a while, but those will be mild compared to what is on the Illuminati agenda, to plunge your world into such dire economic straits that billions would starve while those dark ones further enrich their unconscionable fortunes of illegally amassed wealth. US President Bush’s push to produce ethanol rather than renewable energy sources to reduce dependency on oil is part of that insidious plan—corn production would go for that fuel instead of consumption by people and animals raised for food—remember, Bush does what he is told by the more powerful in the Illuminati ranks. That plan won’t get off the drawing board either. Spiritually evolved souls well experienced in economic and business management are ready to step in, so there will be no vacuum in the conduct of those affairs as the present system is replaced by a return to a basis of precious metals.

We see that many who used to take at face value political hopefulsÂ’ promises and the rosy spin put on the economy still want to feel hopeful, but they are becoming wary. We greet this awakening process that will become what you could call a very rude awakening as truths continue to come out, especially when the origin and purpose of religious dogmas is revealed. Despite the ever-increasing light intensity that is enabling higher consciousness and greater spiritual clarity, not all people who will believe the disclosures about the centuries of Illuminati control will be able to accept the truth about the millennia of religious control.

In reference to both authentic history and “breaking news,” the most trustworthy source today is the Internet. For all its capacity to convey the false along with the factual, nevertheless it is the most reliable source of reports that cover what is omitted in mainstream media or is in conflict with that information. When the volume of facts on the Internet reaches a crescendo, so to say, newspapers and the air waves are forced to report the tip of the iceberg to maintain any credibility, and ones who still believe those sources do get glimpses of truth. Although the dark minds’ intention to use Internet communication to complement their other forms of mind control was swiftly compromised by soul-searching users, this means also is serving their purpose of disseminating false information, so be very discerning about all its material just as with all other sources’.

A related subject for your discretion, at least insofar as radio and television, is sound. The sounds from every source emanate frequencies that are beneficial or detrimental to your psyche and body, and in the higher frequencies now prevailing on Earth, you are correspondingly more greatly affected by the sounds around you. The dark minds are keenly aware of this and their skullduggery extends to bombarding you with damaging inaudible sound waves—those you can’t avoid. But in most instances you can choose sounds from radios, TVs and stereos. A great deal of modern music and programming teems with dissonance or harmful decibels or both, and you can avoid those noises. Scientific experiments with classical works by Mozart, Beethoven and other masters have proven their calming, nurturing effects on very sick patients, the flourishing of plants, and the gentle receptivity of animals. We understand that symphonic music is not everyone’s cup of tea, but you would do well to keep in mind its great benefits. Whenever you can, venture into Nature—delight in the sounds it offers and revel in the essence of BEing at One with All. And please don’t overlook the soothing sound of silence—it is golden indeed!—and as often as possible, treat yourselves to the restorative upliftment of stillness.

Now then, if you are thinking that despite all our contentions that the light is increasing, there is little evidence of this as you observe more outbreaks of violence, from civil wars to individual acts of assault and murder, please put these in the context of what we have said about the higher frequencies magnifying all characteristics and behavior—simply put, now “good” is better and “bad” is worse. The killings of those who held or were vying for prominent leadership roles anywhere in the world are part of this exacerbated energetic force, and so is the brutality within families and acquaintances and indiscriminate killings. Those kinds of incidents will continue until the energy with dark tentacles that initiates them runs its course. Do not fall into fear, that most pernicious tool and the fuel of the darkness! A magnified energy at its core and correspondingly stronger now, fear forms cracks in the psyche that become entryways for dark tentacles. Keep foremost in your thoughts that always the light is stronger—light is the same as love and it is the most powerful force in the universe. Keeping your light steady is your fortress that the darkness cannot scale.

Although from our vantage point of observation and our knowledge of soul contracts in general, we are joyfully astounded by the amazingly rapid progress of the light, we also empathize—yes, empathize, not only sympathize—with the souls who are experiencing trauma, grief and confusion during this stage of Earth’s transition. While many are leaving according to their pre-birth agreements, many others are choosing to amend their contracts and leave early so as to forego the pain of their intolerable living conditions that adds negativity, and they are joining in the light-beaming from souls in spirit to help Earth rid herself of negativity. And I hasten to say that the “better good” is happening in far greater abundance than the “bad worse”!

I shall speak first in a third density context about the countries with the most media attention: Iraq and Afghanistan, with on-going combat, turmoil and US-installed puppet regimes; Iran, the next nation on the dark ones’ agenda, thus the rhetoric about the need to stop its potential to develop nuclear weaponry; Pakistan, with its serious political unrest; the Zionist-led 60-year conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians; and now Lebanon. Very few of the violent incidents in that entire area are the work of the “Muslim radicals” who are blamed for them—this is part of the propaganda to instill the idea that the new enemy of peace and freedom is the Islamic religion. The “insurgents,” the political label given the ones trying to free their people from foreign occupation, in previous times were “patriots” fighting to liberate their countries from foreign oppressors. Most of the death and destruction, including many of the suicide bombings, are “black-ops” activities implemented or directed by the Illuminati-controlled faction of the CIA, often using mind-controlled individuals. But the big picture is that all the violence reinforces the necessity to keep waging the fictional “war on terror.” Expanding this “war” is an Illuminati priority not only to further erode civil and God-given rights, but to gain “popular” support to include the manpower required to keep their conquests and occupation going in their march to world control. That never can happen except in some delusional minds that are captive of lowest third density energy forces.

Now, in the context of the universal continuum and multiple lifetime experiencing, what is happening in those countries is the winding up of the third density karma that started in ancient times and has been brought forward throughout the ages. In pre-birth agreements, todayÂ’s inhabitants chose to return specifically to participate in this balancing process for themselves and their lands to aid EarthÂ’s ascension out of third densityÂ’s hotbed of darkness. Starting at a later time, the same is true of the nations in Africa where tyranny and bloodshed has long been a way of life. Understandably, the end of oppression and death in all of those areas will come more slowly than in countries without the need for that heavy karmic balancing. While life is no less traumatic for the affected populations on a conscious level, putting their living and dying in the karmic context permits the understanding of why that is continuing even as the light keeps intensifying.

With reference to the recent incident of Palestinians exploding the wall at Egypt’s border so they could enter that country to get food and other necessities, the purpose in third density context is clear—oppressed peoples taking survival into their own hands. The higher view is, this is symbolic of all barriers between peoples and borders between nations breaking down as awareness of the unity of all souls is rising.

Another aspect of the controlled mass information is that tragedies wherever they are happening receive the most focus to perpetually keep fear, violence and sorrow on center stage. No individual can assimilate that extent of humankind’s suffering, and the dark ones rely on apathy as the reaction to those overwhelming numbers along with your feeling helpless to change anything and therefore doing nothing. Oh, how deluded they are! Millions are taking bold steps and bringing about positive change all the way from small communities to international movements. Expansion of the light that is permeating hearts and minds throughout the world CANNOT be stopped! Please do not think that only the ones in leadership positions are important—EVERY soul is essential, and simply by radiating your own light, each of you is contributing to the transformation of your world.

That is how it must be because it is your world. Messages from spiritually evolved beings time and again reassure you that myriad members of your universal family are among you and surrounding your homeland planet to assist you every step of the way. Out of their love and honor for you, they are there to help you manifest the wondrous world of your vision. And donÂ’t forget that in every moment, we in spirit are enfolding you in unconditional love!

NO SECRETS

The Bridge ~ Step 97 ~ No Secrets


Every one of us is seen and known for who we truly are

One of the chief characteristics of the accelerated times we're living in is an enhancement of our perceptions. For some of us, our intuition is awakening, and we are now able to know things that we never knew before. Some people use muscle testing, dowsing rods, or pendulums, while others are simply finding themselves able to quiet their minds long enough for their Higher Self to come forth. When our Higher Self steps in we will have no need of books or channels or divination tools anymore. The answers to all of our questions will be made known from within. Such is the destiny for all who choose it.

Another kind of perceptual enhancement is the opening of our third eye. Lee Ching used to tell us to hold our attention a little above the place between our eyebrows and that after practicing this for awhile in our meditations, we would be able to "see" into the Essence of things. He told us that once our third eye opened we would be aware of things that are right in front of us, but which are currently invisible to us while we're in our present state of consciousness.

BJ put it another way. He said that "the higher see the lower, but the lower don't see the higher." From his point of view, there were no secrets in our world. Each one of us carried our past and our probable futures with us, and anyone with their third eye open could see into the lives of others.

One cloudy afternoon I was walking up the trail to BJ's coffee shack after having gone into Kailua town to get some things for the farm. I was humming a popular America ballad from the early 70's that I was planning to learn to play on the guitar. As I dropped off some of the supplies and was getting ready to leave, BJ picked up an old tattered piece of paper that was sitting on the counter beside his kitchen sink, and said, "Hey Tony. I ran across this the other day and was going to throw it away but thought you might be interested in it."

He handed it to me, and I opened it up. It was the sheet music to the song I was humming earlier.

My Intention for today is:

I Intend that my perceptions are enhancing in perfect accordance and timing with that which is for my highest good.

TRUE COMMUNICATION

The Bridge ~ Step 96 ~ True Communication

You don't really have it unless you can give it away


We have a stereotype of the Master Teachers as being calm, cool, and collected all the time, without a predilection for emotional behavior. Well, BJ wasn't that way at all. In fact, he wouldn't hesitate to raise the intensity level in our conversations, and it wasn't until years later I realized that that was what he had to do simply to get my attention.

He used to say that communication is much more than talking. We can talk until we're blue in the face and never really communicate, Communication, he said, is the art of taking an idea or point of view that is in our head and doing whatever we have to do in order to get it into the other person's head. Unless that happens, he said, we were just talking, not communicating. And, in my case, if talking wasn't working he would invariably devise some sort of challenge for me to go through so that I'd have to experience what he was talking about. In other words, he used every means available to get his messages across.

One day while we were building a large wooden rack to store our lumber and tools so the Kona rainforest wouldn't reclaim everything right away, BJ was talking about the three stages we must go through if True Communication is to occur. The initial stage was called Agreement, and he said that we'd never get our ideas across to someone else if we didn't get into agreement with them first. His example was, "Oh, you're interested in Economics, well, so am I," and we would talk about Economics long enough for me to get comfortable with him and his points of view. According to him, sometimes getting into agreement took a long time and sometimes it happened right away; it all depended on the skill of the person who was committed to communicating their ideas. Likewise, it didn't matter what the subject matter was. It could be Economics or the Philadelphia Phillies. A Master, he said, was adept at discussing a wide variety of subjects, and it wasn't the subject at hand he cared so much about, but that he stayed in agreement at this stage of the relationship. I remember he used to say, "Tony, the symbols (or subjects) always change, but the functions remain the same."

After we were in agreement long enough for me to be at ease with him, he began to go into the second stage of true communication: Reality. Reality, he said, is exemplified by, "I like the Phillies and you like the Mets." Those are our realities, and it's okay if they differ from one another. At this stage, he asked my permission to go on because he didn't want to be manipulating me or doing anything I didn't want him to do. We had reached an understanding that it was okay express our own ideas. In short, we had agreed to disagree. Later he told me that if we disagreed with someone too soon, they would be apt to tune us out, and our chances from then on of communicating with them got much slimmer. But if we stayed in agreement to the point where we could openly discuss our individual realities, then we could safely move on to the third stage which he called True Communication, or the true taking of a thought or picture that's in our mind and transferring into someone else's mind.

True Communication, as BJ described it, is much trickier than most of us give it credit for. Patience, perseverance, and commitment are required, and it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few years for us to successfully pass our ideas along to another person.

The truth be known, BJ and I were together for over seventeen years, and when he disappeared, there were a couple of his ideas that I still hadn't gotten yet. My guess is that he's in another reality somewhere, doing his best to get my attention from that level.




My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am becoming adept at communicating my ideas to others.

WEALTH BEYOND REASON

Sherrie,

I hope you're enjoying the sample chapters from the "Wealth
Beyond Reason" program. The link to today's chapter is below,
BUT FIRST:

I wanted to share an email I got from someone who is also
evaluating the "Wealth Beyond Reason" program. This is a
question/comment that I get a LOT, so I thought I'd share my
answer to this person for your benefit as well.

The visitor writes:

Hi, I just found your website. It sounds great, but so
did all of those positive thinking courses I took in
the past (Tony Robbins, etc.). The result? NOTHING,
despite the fact that I did apply myself. So, is your
course THAT GOOD? Sorry for
sounding skeptical, but I have been through the
ringer. Thanks for your time.


And my response:

I have many customers who came to us with the exact
same statements. We even address in the first
paragraph of our main page that there are MANY who
have "done all the programs" and not had the success
that they'd hoped for - even if they "applied
themselves".

But what does that really mean? Does it mean you went
through all the exercises they recommended? You set
goals? You visualized? You meditated?

Even if you did all that, how did you FEEL during the
process. Was your predominant thought, "I hope THIS
one works, since none of the others have?" Because if
that thought was there at all, it explains precisely
why you had the experience you have had with other
material.

Regardless of the program you use, or the "system"
you're following, the Law of Attration is at work in
your life, attracting into your experience that with
which you most closely resonate.

Intellectually, I'm sure you have a great deal of
"self-help" information and techniques in your
head...and perhaps you've spent hours and hours
working to implement them.

Were you having fun, or was it work? What was the
OVERALL feeling of the experience? When you think back
on all the "work" you've done, how do you feel?

My guess is that as time has gone on, you've actually
become MORE "repellent" to what you want, even though
(and because) you're "working harder and harder" on
getting what you want - and in the process, you're
probably putting more emotional attention on the
apparent "fact" that you don't HAVE whatever it is.
And because that is your predominant thought, you
experience more and more evidence that whatever it is
that you're trying isn't working.

Our program dives right into the "why" of all that.
Once you see and understand FULLY that the Law of
Attraction doesn't "exclude" people, you'll see that
just as you've been attracting the results (or lack
of) that you have for the past years, you can also
just as easily as you will ALLOW, results that you
truly DO desire.

But you have to first be able to let go of the
feelings associated with what you believe to be past
"failures" - and they aren't failures at all. You've
attracted the right kind of information. You're just
having trouble "allowing" the results into your life.
You're actually resisting it without knowing it.

Our material covers ways to deal with this so that not
just OUR approach to attracting your desires can work
for you, but any of the others you've tried in the
past - to the extent that you will enjoy doing it!

This is NOT WORK. It is about returning to our NATURAL
state of attracting our desires effortlessly. Any
program that provides results of success has done so
because it has successfully allowed YOU to change your
predominate vibration from one of "lack" or "not
having" to one of infinite possibility and certainty
to some extent.

I can't guarantee that OUR program is absolutely going
to do that for you, because I don't know you well
enough to understand the extent or depth of your
resistance. However, I can say for sure that I don't
know of another program ANYWHERE that spends so much
time on helping people get through those "stops" as
our program does. There are lots of programs that tell
you what to do. Ours does that, of course, but then we
provide "ongoing maintenance" to make sure that you
are supported to the extent that you want to be.

Ultimately however, as it is with Life, YOU will be
the determining factor. We are here to provide tools
and distinctions that we don't believe are available
anywhere else.

I hope I answered your question. :)

Bob

INTENTIONS

The Bridge ~ Reminder 34
Repetition

The Universe is user friendly


One of the questions we get asked the most is: "How often do I say my intentions?" As we talk to people across the country we find several schools of thought with differing approaches to this question. Some say to state your intentions twice a day - in the morning when you get up, and in the evening before going to sleep; some say to state them once and once only; while The Intenders teachings suggest that you say them once a day, preferably in the morning so that you can set a positive direction unto your day.

In weighing all of the various options about how often to say our intentions we've come to realize that all of them are right. You can say them once only, once a day, or twice a day. If, however, you are saying them more than twice a day - that is, you're saying the same intention over and over throughout the day, it implies that you are dealing with some doubts that you need to take a closer look at. You're not truly letting go and trusting in The Intention Process, and therefore, you'll actually be keeping your dreams from manifesting by the constant repetition of your intentions.

"One evening after our weekly Intenders Circle in Leilani we asked Lee Ching about how often we should be saying our intentions, and he told us that it depended on how far along we were in our spiritual evolution. Those, he said, who are new to intending and self empowerment will often say their intentions more than once a day and, even though they're still running doubts, the Universe will rally to their side just to make sure that they get some "wins" and become more confident in the process of manifesting. He said that The Universe wants to help anyone who is willing to make their intentions in the name of the Highest Good, and It will see to it that their first few intentions are manifested, even though they may still be harboring some doubts on a subtle level.

In regard to saying our intentions once a day only, he said that this practice had been used with great success since the days of old, and that it works for everyone no matter what stage of development they're in.

Then, he added something very interesting. He told us that, even though we may start out by saying our intentions daily or more, we will ultimately come to a point where we only need to say them once, and that's all. He said that it is oftentimes difficult for beginners to trust in this, not having had the experience of several "wins" under their belt, so, for most people, saying our intentions once a day works just fine.

"You can't go wrong by saying them once a day," he said, "but you will come to a time when you say them once only and know that The Universe heard you and is taking care of everything from that moment on."



My Intention for today is:

I Intend that, with each Intention that manifests for me,
I am building greater and greater trust and confidence
in the magical workings of The Universe.

MAKE A CALL TONIGHT & MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Dear Sherrie,

Thank you for signing our Top Reporters are Ignoring the Top Issues petition. Your voice has been added to the more than 200,000 people who have signed the petition telling the TV pundits to ask the candidates about global warming. Our friends at League of Conservation Voters will be hand-delivering the petitions next week!

If you watched the Republican debate last night in Florida, you might have noticed that Tim Russert said the magic words: "climate change." For the first time in the entire presidential campaign, Mr. Russert asked a question that mentioned global warming. In fact, he asked two questions!

Thanks to all the work you've done by signing our petition, we are starting to break through. But we need to make sure that all the pundits get the message. There are two critical debates coming up in Florida and California. We need to make sure that climate change is a big topic of discussion.


Can you call Wolf Blitzer tonight and ask him to make climate change a part of the debate he's moderating on Thursday? Here is his phone number: (404) 827-1700

To keep up-to-date on the debates, and for some humorous insights about environmental stories, sign up for our weekly newsletter RAW.

The media has to get with the program. The world's scientific community has indisputably determined that climate change is a manmade crisis of the highest order, threatening the economy, the environment, and the survival of millions.

Sincerely,


Carl Pope
Executive Director
The Sierra Club

P.S. The petitions will be delivered in a few days -- tell your friends to sign while they still can!

FREE SEMINAR FROM WEALTH BEYOND REASON

Dear Sherrie,

Free teleseminar--
...and it doesn't cost anything to listen.

By now, you've learned a little about the Law of Attraction,
and that the key to having what you want is to get into
vibrational resonance with what you desire, and of course
that's what the Wealth Beyond Reason program is all about.

But there is a key thing that you must know before you're
going to have success with ANY self-improvement program.

You have to learn about "resistance", and how to let it go.
This resistance shows up in the form of negative emotions,
and the impact that these emotions have in your life range
in scope from just "not be happy" to having very serious
physical manifestations in terms of your health...things you
might never associate with emotions.

Recently, we recorded a nearly 90-minute teleseminar with
Brad Yates, who is an EFT Practitioner, who specializes in
dealing with abundance issues.

EFT stands for "Emotional Freedom Technique" - a deceptively
simply, yet incredibly powerful technique for completely
eliminating negative emotion from your life. Until you experience
what it feels like, you won't understand exactly why I'm
so enthused by it.

However, I want to give you the opportunity to experience
the technique first hand, and there is no obligation for you to
do anything (except listen, of course).

When you have some time, simply visit:

http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/call.html

and listen to the seminar, and participate along with it!

Below is an email I want to share with you from a
Wealth Beyond Reason student who finally listened to
this seminar after putting it aside for some time.
I hope that the passion in her words will prompt you
to give this gift to yourself. :)

Bob

Here's the email I received:

Hi Bob,

I had been overwhelmed of late with an abundance of
e-mails that I had a definite interest in but was
unable to spend the time to do them justice.

One of these was the one from you regarding the EFT
teleseminar with Brad Yates. Yesterday morning I
decided to devote the 1 and 1/2 hours to listening to
the recording of this seminar.

I was astounded by a total involuntary, unexpected
reaction that I had to it. Brad had two participants
on, one who said she felt anger. I felt absolutely no
anger. But I wanted to tap along. Immediately as I
started tapping, I burst out crying.

I continued to tap and speak the phrases as best I
could, with trembling voice and with tears streaming
down my face. The crying was uncontrollable. When the
session was over, I calmed down somewhat. But when
the next session started up, the crying began all
over again.

I could really identify with this woman. I read the
books, attended the seminars, listened to the CDs,
did affirmations, wrote down my desires as per Tom
Pauley and many others before him. This session was a
total eyeopener for me.

I come from a loving family, with none of the
background issues I hear so much about. But boy, I
must be so blocked! I had no idea. How could such
emotion just spring to the surface so easily without
any warning?

I know now that I need a lot of EFT work. Thank you
for this opportunity. And thank you so much for all
your other caring gifts to us. I believe, and for the
most part, I understand your teachings. I guess I now
need to unblock before I can be open to receive all
that is rightfully mine.

Many, many thanks, Faye

SIMPLY AUTHENTIC SCHEDULE

Simple Tools for Bliss... Every Breath | Weekly Column | January

Beautifully Flawed... Imperfectly Powerful...

It's hard to accept our flaws and humanity. We want to be perfect and invincible -- free of flaws. Yet we are all imperfect, ever seeing our weaknesses and reaching our limits. We are all ever learning, growing, and changing -- developing parts of ourselves that have not had time to mature yet. None of us have all the answers or have become fully realized.


Although we are all striving for perfection, we must remember that perfection is not what makes us beautiful, incredible, valuable, and lovable. It is our inner strength; our willingness to dance through our ups and downs; our commitment to get back up after we fall down; and our desire to find positive things in our life each moment.

We see what we want to see. Look for, and focus on, that which is beautiful in your Self and in others. Our quirks and imperfections are the very things that make us unique. Every one of can be magical and enchanting, if only we dare to let others see behind our mask.

Embrace your beautiful flaws and imperfect power. Let your full passion and creative force flow through your being. Accept who you are: True, real, powerful, and unstoppable. Stop trying to be perfect, and know that you already are.

Exercises

1. Stop criticizing your Self and comparing your Self to others. No one is just like you. So don't compare your Self to anyone else or try to be them. Be true. Be you. And shine.


2. Accept and embrace your Self. Know that you are beautiful, unique, and powerful... Just as you are, imperfectly powerful. Strive to be true to your Self and accepting of your Self.

3. Let go of the notion of perfection. Vow instead to simply be passionate, true, real, whole, loving, kind, and compassionate.

MAKING INTENTIONS

The Bridge ~ Reminder 31
Making Intentions


That which you are reaching toward is also reaching out toward you


The Intention Process is just about as simple as it can be. All you have to do is say I intend and then follow it up with whatever it is that you desire. It could be anything! You could intend to have a new coat for yourself or you could intend for world peace. Since there are no limits on what you can think about, there are no limits on what you can intend!



For me, I get up every morning and I intend that I am joyful and happy. I intend fun and laughter. I intend that I am in perfect health - rejuvenated, aligned, balanced, and feeling physically great all of the time. I intend that I am always guided, guarded, and protected. These are a few of the general intentions that I start with everyday and then I look around at my life to see what I am needing. If the old wheelbarrow just broke, I'd intend that I have a new one. If the computer decided to go on the fritz, I'd intend that it gets fixed. I don't leave anything out because there's no reason to hold back!


I like to make a few intentions each day about my personal traits. Sometimes I intend that I am a more compassionate person; or I intend that I'm more kind or gentle. And sometimes, especially when there are a lot of dramas going on all around me, I intend that I see everyone in their highest light and every event from its highest point of view. That way, I'm able to observe all of the sorrow and suffering in the world and still remain uplifted. I intend that I remember that it doesn't do anybody any good to drop down into someone else's challenges and become troubled or sad along with them. It's much better to set an example by staying happy and cheerful.


After intending for things like this for awhile, I take a closer look at the world at large and make a few intentions for it too. For example, I intend that men, women, and children everywhere experience grace. And I intend that peace and harmony blossom all across the land. And I intend that this Earth is living in its highest light, and that, within our environment, the air we breathe is clean and crisp; the water everywhere is crystal clear and delicious; the soil is abundant with lush growth and beautiful fruit is dripping from the trees; the animals are honored and respected; and people all over the world are happy and smiling because they're being given everything that they need! And, last but not least, I intend that all of my thoughts, words, and deeds serve the highest and best good of the Universe, myself, and everyone everywhere.


So be it and so it is!


From The Intenders Handbook



My Intention for today is:
I intend that I remember to start out everyday by saying my intentions.

TELL YOUR SENATORS

Dear sherrie:

In 2007, U.S. wind power grew by 45 percent, smashing previous records and installing enough new wind electric turbines to power the equivalent of 1.5 million homes. But wind power's continued growth is at risk without an extension of the Production Tax Credit (PTC). The PTC, the only major federal program directly supporting renewable energy, expires at the end of this year.

Our country needs the Production Tax Credit (PTC) to:

Provide the crucial economic incentive to accelerate the growth of clean energy
Protect current jobs and add new ones in the renewable energy industry
Make renewable power more affordable for all Americans
Help fight global warming by encouraging renewable energy use
Unless the PTC is extended immediately, the growth of wind power may decrease by up to 70 percent in 2009. Plans to build future wind projects are already being affected by uncertainty about the PTC. Take action now and tell your Senators to extend the Production Tax Credit (PTC). Please urge your family and friends to take action as well.

Thank you for your continued support of renewable energy sources like wind power.

Sincerely,

Tom Gray
Director of Communications
American Wind Energy Association

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

If all you did was just look for things to appreciate you would live a joyous, spectacular life. If there was nothing else that you ever came to understand other than just look for things to appreciate, it's the only tool you would ever need to predominantly hook you up with who you really are. That's all you'd need. --- Abraham

LEARNING TO LOVE BETTER

Step 95 ~ Learning To Love Better

All things are moving toward that which you are moving toward


Whenever the hustle-bustle of life starts to weigh heavily upon you, and your mind seems to run around in never ending circles, one of the quickest ways to rebalance yourself is to make a connection with the Earth. Go out and get your bare feet on the lawn or in the sand at the beach. Just as your TV reception will clear up when you run a wire from the antenna to the ground, so shall your thoughts and feelings smooth out when you connect with Mother Earth. It's one of the easiest ways for you to love yourself.

In fact, there are many ways of learning to love, not only yourself, but those around you, as well. Another is to plant and grow some food of your own. Most people don't realize it, but something very special happens when we nurture and consume food that we have grown for ourselves. Not only does the life force in it transfer to us when we eat it, the love that we put into caring for it has a magical way of returning to us from Mother Earth herself. Indeed, she befriends all those who care for the least of her creatures.

And it doesn't matter whether it's an acre of organic gardens you're growing or a single kumquat tree or tomato plant you keep on the patio. It can even be a batch of sprouts (for those who want the quickest results) that live on your kitchen windowsill. Regardless of what you plant, you will have shortened the gap between you and your food supply by being just that much less reliant on someone else to provide you with your food. It is a subtle shift, but one that raises your Spirit the minute you cover the little seeds over with soil and water them.

Back on the farm, BJ used to say that if we wanted to learn to love better, it would be a good idea for us to start out with plants. Plants are the easiest, he said, because they stay in one place and hold still when we're working with them. They also have a way of reflecting the love we give them back at us right away by perking up when we water them, and greening up quickly when we fertilize. And, they won't hurt us if we accidentally harm them (unless, of course, we get too close to the ones with thorns!)

After we get the hang of taking care of plants, and they are thriving happily under our supervision, we can go on to animals. Animals, he said, are a little trickier to love because they move around. Unlike plants, it's more difficult to get them to do things they don't want to do. Oh yeah, and they also make their share of noises and messes that will sometimes surprise us.

Then, after we get pretty good at taking care of plants and animals, we can move on to learning how to love people better. According to BJ, people are much harder to love
