SIGN THE PETITION IF YOU LIVE IN DENVER

Hello everyone,

I would like to keep you apprised of the Denver Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission ballot petition status. There will be a petition available for signing at the Athena Festival held at the:
Ramada Plaza
Hotel & Conference Center
I-25 at 120th, southeast corner, Northglenn, CO.

The intention of Jeff Peckman's initiative is to have the government of the City and County of Denver create an 11 member Commission to acknowledge the presence of UFO/ ET presence and create City proceedures to address these matters at a very fundamental level. It is important our government openly address this maThis ballot issue would NOT USE ANY TAX DOLLARS and would be funded entirely by donations, gifts and grants. Since our federal government has not been open about their awareness and involvement we must insist on it at a grass roots level to get the ball rolling. The most significant effort is already taking place...seroius discussion and debate at an evevated level on these matters around the world.

The petition is to be signed by residents of the City and County ONLY! If you are a registered voter in the City and County of Denver. Please support this effort by signing the petition and by forwarding this to others that might too.

Coast to Coast AM Radio covered the Commission formation and the Romanek case again last night with Paola Harris and is going to have Alejandro Rojas (one of our own) on tonight Sat. at 11:00 PM for a full hour on 6:30 AM Radio. Large networks from around the world are following the activity here in Denver including the Largest TV News network in Europe and the largest TV News network in Russia. Stan Romanek and/ or Jeff Peckman are tentatively expected to be on FOX TV, MSNBC TV, Good Morning America and David Letterman and likely more this coming week subject to confirmation.

Thanks to Dana Cain we have a free table at the Festival and thanks to all of you in advance for your consideration on this historic effort.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

INTENDERS BRIDGE - DESIRES

The Bridge ~ Reminder 35
Desires

You can have anything and everything
you could possibly dream of -
even a whole new world to live in.

Our desires help us set our course in life. The second reference point with which we started The Intenders was that our desires are in us to be fulfilled. Our guidance told us early on that we came into this lifetime with a certain set of desires and the way for us to know that we are evolving to our highest potential is by either transcending or fulfilling our desires. If we were born in an eastern culture, where spiritual pursuits are honored more, we might go into a monastic cell and spend anywhere from 20 minutes to 20 years meditating and transmuting our desires in order to get to what the Buddhists call a state of desirelessness. But in our western world where consumerism is king and we've been barraged by advertising since day one, we are probably best off to learn how to fulfill our desires. That's where The Intention Process comes in. We can learn to manifest our desires one at a time until there aren't any more of them.


It's interesting that in the west we have been taught to sweep our desires under the rug; that there's something wrong with us if we have desires. The Intenders teachings remind us, however, that the word De-Sire comes from the Latin meaning "of the Father," and that there is a sacred aspect to our desires. All we need to do to evolve and to empower ourselves at the same time is become more proficient at fulfilling them.


"When I arrived at my first Intenders Circle, I was homeless. I'd been trying to find a way to scrape up enough money to rent a small place, but things just weren't working out for me. I was getting desperate!


"My friends who took me to the Intenders Circle told me not to hold back. They said that, at an Intenders Circle, "the sky's the limit," and that I should ask for my heart's desire. I made an intention to find a place of my own where I would be very, very happy - and I asked that it come to me freely and easily.


"It wasn't two days later and a lady who had been at the meeting called me and said she was going abroad for at least three years. She'd thought about selling her house, but it was such a lovely custom home, right down by the beach, that she couldn't bring herself to part with it. Maybe she'd be back someday, but, in the meantime, would I be interested in caretaking it for free?"


Karen Reid



My Intention for today is:
I intend that I am looking within to see what would give me the most joy, and then I am consciously creating it.

GARY CRAIG'S 5/30/08 EFT NEWSLETTER

For New Subscribers: Useful info regarding this newsletter.

Gary's Blog: "Will you give this to my Daddy?": This touching and patriotic story has been circulating on the internet. It's message is powerful so I thought I would include it in this blog. The author is unknown.
Thought for the Day: "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Anonymous

Helpful Items

Today's EFT Quote: "I have a real phobia about driving in heavy traffic areas, especially with ramps that are elevated. I tried the tapping and drove on an expressway, with ease and comfort, that normally I would have avoided like the plague. That convinced me!" Pat Pietri

Today's Helpful Hint:

From an EFT point of view, phobias come in 3 varieties:

1. A simple delimited phobia that is not linked to other issues. These are usually handled quickly by EFT and take their place among our "one minute wonders."

2. A complex phobia that is linked to many past SPECIFIC EVENTS that created fear of the phobic object (e.g. a snake being thrown in one's lap at age 8). In this case, EFT needs to be applied to each SPECIFIC EVENT until the phobic response vanishes.

3. Phobias that are a mask for another problem. These require more "art of delivery" for success. I have had several cases where we made little or no headway with the phobia until I probed for underlying issues. One such case like this is The height Phobia that wouldn't move.

Featured Articles

Featured Article #1: Two brief cases on stuttering and high blood pressure: Pieter de Zwart from New Zealand gives us two practical uses for EFT. Note how the stuttering relief was done surrogately. Email Pieter

Featured Article #2: 60 years of pain gone in 20 minutes: Angela Treat Lyon provides us with an exquisite trip down "reframe lane" as she expertly assists her anger ridden client. This is an excellent example of how to combine traditional talk therapy with EFT. While many prefer to do more tapping along the way and to inject more specific events, there is certainly much to be learned from this article. Email Angela and Visit her website

Featured Article #3: Developing self compassion with persistent EFT : Zoe Zimmerman moves her client from an emotional abyss to a much improved sense of well being. She elaborates on many useful points. I make a comment at the end regarding the additional use of specific events. Email Zoe and Visit her website

Featured Article #4: Using EFT on Asperger’s Syndrome brings remarkable results for social anxiety: Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is a form of autism that is difficult to handle with conventional forms of therapy. However, Nikki Ball from the UK got quality results with only one EFT session. She says, "The following week I went to see him. His words were simply, 'that thing you did last week, it worked'." Email Nikki

Past Articles from the EFT Website

Back pain, head trauma and God issues: Here are three cases you might find interesting. First, Alan Woodhouse uses EFT to completely eliminate a severe back pain. After that, Stephanie Douglas gets relief by self applying EFT for her head trauma of 40 years duration. Finally, David Peppiatt helps a client by focusing on "God issues."
Calming down a suicidal client: The suicidal client is clearly in crisis and in big need of calming down. Sharon O'Hara was faced with a suicidal client and exhausted conventional means before resorting to EFT. As it turns out, much consternation could have been avoided if EFT has been used first. Here's how Sharon tells it.
Intuitional work with anger: Here is a message from Sharon Smallenberg that displays a unique version of my "intuitional thermometer" and clearly demonstrates what is possible with intuitional work. Those of you who have studied our EFT-Beyond the Basics (formerly Steps Toward Becoming the Ultimate Therapist) videos will recall my repeated demonstrations of "getting ourselves out of the way" and letting the process work "THROUGH us not BY us." This is the centerpiece of intuitional work, of course, and is an ability anyone can develop. in fact, it is essential to upper level mastery of these procedures.
Body parts and self image concerns: Body parts, particularly women's breasts, often grab the self image spotlight. A common concern is the loss of breast size that often occurs with the loss of weight. Does the size of one's breasts (or the "beauty" of any body part) really have that big an influence on one's self confidence? Or is it just the current focal point for broader self image issues? This message will explore those questions.
Anaphylactic shock--"Before her eyes the swelling went down": Paul Cutright does much of his work by phone and conducts highly effective EFT Tele-Training classes. One of his trainees, Pamela, used EFT very successfully on anaphylactic shock. As you will see, this potentially fatal ailment subsided in minutes with no intervention other than EFT. The swelling visibly faded and the victim resumed his activities as if nothing happened.
Surrogate/distance tapping for Cassie the dog: The talented Catherine O'Driscoll from Scotland provides us with this fascinating look into our possibilities with surrogate/distance tapping. This example happens to be with a dog but it is not much of a stretch so see the potential for humans.
Long standing fears fade for a 19 year old gymnast: Dr. Carol Look details for us a successful 90 minute session with a nationally ranked gymnast. Please note that all the EFT'ing was done OUTSIDE OF THE GYM where the gymnast could only imagine her various fears and related issues. As you will see, Carol was thorough enough in discovering all the aspects that her client was able to perform superbly in the real situation.
Pyrophobia, fear of medicines and working with groups over the phone: In his message, Paul Cutright illustrates doing EFT with a group. In this case, the group is comprised of several EFT newcomers that are listening in on a telephone conference call. He then applies EFT (over the phone) to one volunteer for a specific issue and asks the remainder of this "telephone group" to tap along for their individual issues. As you will see, most of the group achieves success even though Paul was only working with one person.
Using EFT on "Blocking Thoughts" to good relationships: David Lake, MD shares his experience with us regarding relationships. Among other things, he takes us through several clever and insightful uses of EFT for what he calls "blocking thoughts" to good relationships. His specific wording also includes some interesting humor and subtle reframes.

SPECIAL BOOK OFFER FROM SIMPLE TRUTHS

http://blog.simpletruths.com/promos/timeyt.htm

a very special offer from Simple Truths


Dear sherrie,

About four years ago I had the idea to write a gift book titled, To A Child Love Is Spelled T-I-M-E. I e-mailed the concept to Lance Wubbels, who is a friend, and a best selling author for inspirational gift books. I said, "What do you think about this idea?"

The next day I received his answer. Lance wrote, "Mac, I love it, and I went ahead and wrote an introduction that I think you'll like."

I can count on my hand the times in my life that I was "WOWED" when I read something. This was one of those times. It was one of the most powerful short stories I had ever read; and went perfectly with my vision for the book.

I'm pleased to say that the book has done very well, and recently won the Gold Medallion Award for the inspirational gift book of the year. However, I'm even more pleased that we've produced a four minute inspirational movie based on Lance's beautiful story that we can share with the rest of the world.

June 15, 2008 is Father's Day, so to every father, this is our little gift to you. But here's a warning...it will grab your heart, and not let go!

and...share it with every father you know. They'll love you for doing it.

Also, I'm pleased to offer Free UPS Ground shipping today.

This offer applies to UPS Ground shipments to the US, excluding AK and HI. Any order with a sub-total of $25 or more is eligible. This promotion is not valid with any other promotions, discounts, or coupons.

Expires Friday, 5/30/08 at 2PM CST.

Live with Passion,

INTENDERS BRIDGE - REPETITION

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.

"3 A-Ha' Success Principles" by Alexandria K. Brown

"3 'A-Ha' Success Principles That Have Reshaped My Business"
by Alexandria K. Brown

Over the past several years I've immersed myself in learning. Because my business is marketing, I have mostly attended and spoken at marketing seminars. But I also make plenty of time to read books, attend seminars, and listen to audio programs on personal development as well.

Why?

You should actually work harder on yourself than you do on your business (or job). I first learned that from Jim Rohn, whom some call the father of personal development. Some call him America's foremost business philosopher. I just call him brilliant. (Jim was one of Tony Robbins' first mentors, too.)

There are three success principles I've learned over the years that I wanted to share with you. I call them my "a-has" because they put my attention on areas I'd never thought of. And following these guidelines has helped me skyrocket my business.

1. You are the average of the five PEOPLE you hang around the most.

When I first heard this quote from Jim, it struck a big nerve in me. Robert Allen says something similar, that your bank account balance is typically the average of the five people you hang around the most. (Yikes!)

I realized I needed to surround myself with people whom I wanted to be like. I still love my old friends, but I make a specific effort to be around people who take risks, think big, and talk about great ideas instead of the latest celebrity gossip, the price of gas, or how much they hate their clients.

What first opened up my circle of influence was attending seminars. I continually go to seminars on marketing, business, and personal development. There are so many great seminars going on every month all around the country, at all price points. You have no excuse not to get out there and meet people who are playing big!

2. Your HABITS create your future (and your fortune).

Brian Tracy talks a lot about this. Your daily habits create your long-term results. Your habits today will determine your outcomes tomorrow. If you want to be a millionaire, you've got to have millionaire habits. If you want to be a great leader, you must have the habits of a great leader. If you want to get in shape, you've got to have the habits of a fit person.

What new habit can YOU put into place right away?

I wanted to put into place a millionaire habit. Because I detest budgets (and enjoy spending), I needed an easy way to save money. So now I have a set percentage of my inflow automatically go into a savings account that I don't touch.

And because I enjoy looking and feeling great, I made the habit many years ago to exercise at least 5 days a week. To kick this into gear, I hired a trainer, which forced me to make the habit happen. It was a struggle at first, but now I feel off-balance if I don't work out regularly.

3. Make sure your ENVIRONMENT supports you in playing big.

A few years ago I had the chance to hear a dynamic woman named Artemis Limpert speak at an event in Dallas. In her talk, she pointed out that when you have a pet fish that's sick, you treat the water -- NOT the fish.

Your success depends more on your environment than you know, but it's extremely important that you give yourself an environment that supports you at the level you want to BE at. (Note that I did NOT say the level you are at now!)

There are generally 3 areas of your environment you should pay close attention to:

First, your physical environment. Do you love your office? Do you have enough space to work and plan? Are you surrounded by attractive things? Do you have a nice view or at least a beautiful piece of art to look at? I paid a pretty penny for my beach pad, but I can't tell you how inspiring it is every day to look out at the peaceful ocean, sailboats, blue sky, and the sand. It fuels me.

But you don't have to spend a lot of money on your environment. Little touches like candles, flowers, music you love, and photos of friends and family can go a long way. (Even if your office is the kitchen table!)

Second, your emotional environment. Are you getting the support you need from your family and friends? It's up to YOU to ask for what you need.

If they cannot provide it, find a coach, a mastermind, or a support group. I find it wonderful to have a mastermind group for support. I can bounce ideas off them, ask for help with problem solving, share my victories, and sometimes just vent!

Third, your intellectual environment. Jim Rohn says, "Are you feeding your brain protein every day, or are you just giving it candy?" Most Americans sustain their brains solely on candy - that is, useless television shows, news, and gossip. Are you stimulating yourself with big ideas and new learning? Again, check out a seminar, take a teleclass, or buy some books or audio programs. (I love listening to programs on CD or my iPod, so I can learn while driving my car or relaxing on a plane.)

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

THE SOUL OF THE DREAMER GOES OUT ON ITS TRAVELS,

AND COMES HOME WITH A REMEMBRANCE OF WHAT IT HAS

SEEN. - Tylor

APPLAUD UNITY FOR DARFUR

Dear sherrie,

Outrage at genocide. A commitment to peace and security for the people of Darfur.

It's not a blue-state, red-state thing. It's a human rights thing.

Watch the presidential candidates' video about Darfur and thank them for their statement of unity.

Not since World War II have all major presidential candidates come together on an international issue.

Until now. Today, Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama released a joint statement condemning the violence against the people of Darfur and promising to address the issue with "unstinting resolve."

Let's show our appreciation. Click here to watch a video with the three candidates and send a note applauding their unity on this matter of grave national concern.

The three candidates have honest differences about many issues. But this joint statement shows us they are willing to put aside those differences to stand in solidarity against genocide. They are united in the belief that "atrocities against civilians in Darfur" are "unacceptable to the American people and to the world community."

The Senators go on to say that:

...on this moral issue of tremendous importance, there is no divide between us. We stand united and demand that the genocide and violence in Darfur be brought to an end and that the CPA [Comprehensive Peace Agreement] be fully implemented. ...

If peace and security for the people of Sudan are not in place when one of us is inaugurated as President on January 20, 2009, we pledge that the next Administration will pursue these goals with unstinting resolve.

At the Save Darfur Coalition, we encourage policymakers to make the right decisions. We show them our disappointment when they make bad choices, but also our gratitude when they make good ones. thank the presidential candidates, for putting aside politics to stand up for what's right in Darfur.

After you have sent your message, please ask your friends, family, and co-workers to join you in send a message to the candidates.

We have consensus; what we need is action. In less than eight months, one of these candidates will assume one of the most powerful positions in the world. Whoever it is, we must stand together to make sure the next president fulfils our responsibility to the people of Darfur.

Best regards,

Colleen Connors

WEALTH ATTRACTION BY RAY DODD

Dear sherrie,

I have received a lot of questions about how using
your energy affects your wealth. One reader,
Silvia Writes:

"Hi Ray, I'm taken aback...I have never thought about my
relationship with money as a metaphor for my
relationship with life energy. It's kind of a mirror. For
example, time: my constant lack of time because I am
split in so many activities throughout the day. The result
is that time runs out too fast. Even when I have enough
money, it seems it's running out too fast. I am happy I
found your site and receive your newsletter about
"beliefs". Thank you so much for your very appreciated
work. It is changing my thoughts about a lot of things!"

As a bonus to the Instant Wealth Attraction program, I
have included an extra report: "10 Energy Wasters that
are Costing You Money and How to Fix Them". In this
report, I talk a LOT about ENERGY and list specific
examples of energy wasters.

But basically, where you invest your physical, emotional
and mental energy REFLECTS your BELIEFS. Think
about that for a second. Where you INVEST your
ENERGY is perfectly aligned with what you have agreed
to believe.

That idea appears obvious at first blush, but it's NOT
something you might notice unless it's been pointed out
to you.

What you are spending your TIME and energy on has a
profound impact on your happiness, effectiveness, health
and... your bank account.

Whatever you are doing with money is likely reflected in
what you're doing with your life. What I mean by this is
that your beliefs about money - a particular form of
energy, are reflected in the way you work, the way you
conduct your relationships, the way you go after what
you want, and in the way you deal with what you have.

For example: Are you always pressed for time? Are you
frequently tired and overworked? If that's true, do you
ever have enough money?

Another question to ponder is this: How often do you
create VALUE with your investment of time and energy?
It's an important question to ask yourself because when
you are investing your energy in value creation, you are
not only HELPING to improve someone's situation, you
are becoming more VALUABLE to the world.

Nothing will impact your intent of attracting wealth more
than learning to consciously apply your physical, mental,
and emotional energy. When your thoughts and actions
are in alignment with what you say you want to achieve,
you will use your energy on things that will take you
exactly where you want to go.

So pay attention to where you invest your energy and it'll
pay you huge dividends in return.

To learn more about how your energy affects your
financial situation, I ENCOURAGE you to take a closer
look at our on-line Money And Belief's Course and
become a member of our Wealth Attraction Club.

If you are SERIOUS about learning how to harness the
power of belief to manifest wealth into your life then our
program can help you do just that.

SHELDAN NIDLE UPDATE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation
10 Ben, 6 Pax, 3 Manik
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selamat Jarin! We return, full of information about what is to happen around you. As we speak, many incredible events are ready to manifest. The most important of these are those specified by a series of legal documents, known to you as NESARA. This legislation involves mainly America; however, its broad implications affect the world at large. These documents delineate the means for changing the current US administration and replacing it with a caretaker regime dedicated to restoring the organic Constitution and those rights specified in the Bill of Rights. In addition, these documents declare peace and change the current direction of US foreign policy. Finally, these documents forgive bank-created debt and establish a new and more secure banking and currency system. This last aspect has been expanded by our Earth allies to include the entire globe. The present banking and currency system is to be scrapped and replaced by one that better serves a world free of debt and the inflationary cycles imposed by the present banking and currency system.

All this is in place and awaiting the formality of the announcements, which declare its legality and implementation. In fact, implementation has already been partially begun through a series of banking edicts dispatched by the Federal Reserve governors to their district banks over the past two years. Also, the fledgling Treasury Banks are in the process right now of absorbing these banks and need only the final set of announcements to complete the procedure. The same is occurring throughout the world, as various strategic and overt operations are setting up the depositories for the gold necessary to back the new currency system. Further, secret conferences in the US, Europe, Africa, and the Americas are outlining a system for annulling the vast national debts of nearly 200 countries. In a world swimming in an ocean of debt and endemic corruption, safeguards must be introduced which secure both debt-forgiveness and the expansion of democracy and the republican way of life. A crucial concomitant to this is the promotion of universal harmony and cooperation.

These developments have been going on covertly since the end of World War II. Since way back the illuminoids were split into many factions and were kept together only by the outside influence of the Anunnaki. This constant control ensured that this planetary ruling stratum operated seemingly as a unit. But behind the façade a great deal of conflict was brewing. These minions of the Anunnaki, like their distant predecessors, were essentially divided into two main camps: The first were ideologically aligned with their masters and regarded humanity as a means to an end. The second were more open to the ideas of the Agarthans with their belief in freedom and the principles of galactic society. This second group knew about the desires of St. Germaine and the intent behind his World Trust, set up in the early 18th century. This group worked secretly with another group organized by the Sirians and their allies, which, in the 1990s, was to become the core of what we call our Earth allies. Arrayed against them was a very powerful consortium that was gaining strength during the latter years of the cold war.

The present time is set to see the results of all these secret conferences and movements of money and resources, coupled now with the will to actually put it all into effect. Bear in mind that the Ascended Masters long ago started what is now happening. Our Earth allies could not have come together this way without the brilliant groundwork, which enables them to surmount the myriad obstacles in their way. You are watching a huge and complex jigsaw puzzle form. This shape is now being permitted and championed by this first contact fleet. We are putting the final pieces into play and thereby challenging the dark cabal, which does not want this to happen. For a while Heaven somewhat tied our hands by limiting what we could do. This was done to permit our Earth allies and us to learn more about each other and to form a tighter bond. Now these limits are dispelling, allowing the present intensified, joint focus upon the remaining obstacles.

This boost to the allies' confidence has brought them one step away from victory. Here, they pause as they wait for the darkside to crumble and sink into the swamp of its tunnel vision. This gives many darkside fence sitters the opportunity to join the other side, which further proves to our Earth allies that their victory is close. What remains is to climb the last and steepest hill, and here the allies face a test of faith. Sometimes it appears to them that victory is a mirage in a desert and that the shimmering oasis they see on the horizon is always just out of reach no matter how far they travel; and this is the reason for the recent slowdown in the progress of the endgame. Yet this illusion of theirs can be pierced. Our task is to show our Earth allies that the oasis is real and that a certain set of actions can get them there. Showing them these precise steps is what we are presently doing.

This brings us to you, both the disheartened and the unwavering among you. We know full well that being patient and supportive of a movement that you so dearly want to see succeed quickly is not easy. Frustration is understandable as you anxiously watch these wicked ones run your economic potential into the ground! It truly takes prodigious amounts of fortitude to hold steady when every fiber of your being longs for a swift end to the insanity. We could not be more with you on this. But we can also see clearly what is happening and how close your scary world is to morphing into something better. Time, as always, is the key factor. Some powerful dark cabalists remain in the way and are making demands that require our full attention. Once we resolve this impediment and some other dark concoctions, the way should finally be clear.

Completing this stage of first contact remains our prime intention and our true joy. Once done, the dark ones can no longer pose a threat and our mass landing can proceed unhindered. In this world you are prosperous and the difficulties you face today have morphed into great joys. Whenever your present challenges threaten to overwhelm you, remember that you are not alone. Heaven and we are enveloping you with blessings and are working hard to transform the distressing state of your world into something much better. Remember, too, that a divine timetable is in effect, which decrees that the reign of this reality is at an end. It is ready to be transformed into the realm that you long ago promised yourselves for these end times. This is the same realm in which we are all to reunite in one glorious, righteous celebration!

Right now a series of overlapping events is bringing your reality to a crossroads. The old is about to be altered and miracles never before believed possible are to be performed. All this is the sign of divine decree; but a global, rising insanity is the immediate precursor to this. The way that your world "does business" is facing extinction, and your realm is quickly readying to flip into something new and exciting! We are charting this "something new," first as neutral observers and lately as active participants in this amazing process. Again we ask that you draw on your resources of big-heartedness and know totally that your prize is almost upon you. We know this is not easy since we feel your challenges through the eyes of our on-planet personnel. We know the hardships that make up your lives. Nevertheless, be in no doubt that this huge infringement on your lives is the final madness, which the dark can ever again inflict on you!

Today, we continued our discussion about what is happening around you. Our Earth allies and we are in the midst of the final actions, which are to topple the dark and enable the rest of the first-contact scenario to proceed. Remember that you are watching the lead-in to the most stupendous events in your history unfold before you. 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!)

Having Tea
By Sue Frederick

We're having tea - strong, sweet tea - as we sit on the stone veranda overlooking an emerald sea. You're laughing and telling funny stories about the challenges in your life when the conversation turns to career.

"I don't know - it's just not clear to me what my true work is or how to manifest it," you explain. "The job I'm doing, well, it pays the bills. But I feel like I'm dying inside."
We sip our tea and look quietly out over the stone wall beside our table - across the vast expanse of open water. There are white gulls in the distance and a gentle breeze ruffles the cloth on our table.
"You're a master soul, my friend. You're required to own up to your great work in this lifetime," I whisper to you softly across the table. "Remember, you signed up for this. You chose to come forward as a teacher to use your gifts to help raise the vibration of the planet."
"I'm just not seeing it," you sigh with frustration - putting down your cup forcefully on its saucer. Again, we pull out your notebook and look at your name, your birth date. We add the digits again and study the numbers. We meditate on your path.
"Yes, it's a master path," I explain. "No way around it. And yes, you wrapped that lovely Pisces energy around it to flavor your mission with emotion and intuition. It's quite a lovely path, actually, though different from what most would people call a 'normal' life."
"I guess that's the problem," you moan. "I see the path, but how do I do it? I have to pay the mortgage and ... the kids, well. That's another story..."
But you signed up for all that as well, I remind you. "Now, you're bumping up against a big choice-point in your life. What you do and think about right now determines everything. And it models a way of living for your children who are watching every move you make and don't make."
"I get that," you say softly.
"Are you focused on the great possibilities in front of you, the potential solutions for making a change in your life? Or are you focused on the reasons why you can't change? Are you letting self-doubt and fear pull you down into the 'pitiful self' where there are no solutions and steps can't be taken?"
"Guess I have been feeling kinda pitiful," you say with a smile. "I just don't feel good enough or smart enough to ... I mean, who do I think I am to want to do something important in the world?"
"You are who you came here to be, and your mission is what it is. Don't waste your energy doubting it. Let's jot down some baby steps you can take to investigate doing the work we talked about. Let's see, you said you knew some people you could talk to about that business idea. And there were some websites you were going to visit and phone calls to make..."
"But why do I have so much pain?" you ask. "It hasn't been an easy lifetime."
"You set it up that way. The pain in your lifetime is designed to become your fuel to do your work in the world - making the world a better place in your unique way. Your pain becomes your motivation - your mission."
"When I grew up, I was abused and powerless as a child," you explain. "I'm still wounded by that."
"It means your mission now is to offer to others what you wished had been offered to you; your work is to help others realize how powerful they are and learn to trust themselves and their own inner guidance - in spite of whatever circumstances make them doubt themselves."
"How?"
"By using your innate gifts in your work. Those gifts are always on purpose - not incidental. They aren't supposed to be relegated to hobbies or volunteer work. We are meant to make our living with our gifts - not bury them."
"Then why am I so afraid?"
"Well that's the 'pitiful self' that we all have - our universal negativity. We can choose to give in to our fear and not live up to our mission. Or we can choose to move forward anyway - using our fear as fuel to make us successful. At the end of our lifetime, it matters to us how well we pushed past that fear and lived up to the mission."
You ponder that for awhile as we finish the tea. Together, we write a list of baby steps you can take to investigate your new career ideas, to move forward, to look into possibilities for change. You promise to focus your thoughts on solutions, and you promise to meditate or pray every day for at least 20 minutes in order to tap into your higher self and remember your mission.
We sit for a few more minutes in silence - watching the ripples in the water below us. After awhile you say, "Okay, I'm good now. I remember." You stand up from the table.
You wake up.

SIMPLE TRUTHS' NEW MOVIE "CHANGE IS GOOD"

http://www.simpletruths.com/nws/arc/08/080527-CHGO.htm


Dear sherrie,

In business and in life, we do have a choice. And the choice really boils down to this...either we manage change, or it will manage us.

The truth, of course, is that change can be a wonderful gift. In fact, it is the key that unlocks the doors to growth and excitement in any organization.

Then why is it so hard? Why...because we are all creatures of habit and unchartered waters are scary!

A big part of your success, as a leader, will be your ability to inspire your team to get out of their comfort zones, to assure them that even though you're on a new path, it's the right path, for the right reasons.

So sit back, turn up your speakers and enjoy our new 3-minute movie Change is Good...You Go First. Just go to the link above to watch and don't forget to share it with your team!


To Life,

INTENDERS BRIDGE - HOW TO THINK

The Bridge ~ Reminder 33
How to Think

The time is coming when you will have a thought
and it will be there

The first reference point we adopted when we started The Intenders over a dozen years ago was that our thoughts (and our words) create our world. We knew that the key to our greatest happiness, as well as our gliding as gracefully as possible through these times of great change, lies in our thinking processes. Once we fully understood that our thoughts are the building blocks of our future, we realized that the solutions to any challenges we were faced with are not going to come through political or worldly means, but through our becoming more vigilant of our thoughts. We simply needed to learn to hold our attention on the thoughts that serve us and discard the ones that don't.


You see, from the time we were small children we were taught what to think, but, in all our years of schooling, we were never taught how to think. That's why we created the Intention Process. And that's what we're talking about as we cross The Bridge together - how to think - because another thing we've begun to notice recently is that the time between the time we make an intention and its manifestation is getting shorter and shorter. Therefore, it behooves us to keep a much closer eye on what were thinking (and what were saying) than ever before.


I recall an occasion last year when a friend of mine and I were pulling into a large parking lot early one Saturday evening to rent a video. Every space, for as far as we could see, was filled. Normally, we would have made an intention on the way to the video store by saying something like, "I intend we have a great place to park when we get there." Then, we'd invoke the Highest Good, and say "So be it and so it is."


But we forgot to do that, and as we looked around and I almost started to voice a complaint, she suddenly remembered, then quickly stated an intention, said "So be it" - and just as she did, a brown conversion van backed out of the space directly in front of the main door to the store. I got so excited that I yelled out, "And there it is!"


She pulled into the spot and both of us sat there laughing. Our "So be it and so it is" had turned into "So be it and there it is." We'd had a conscious instantaneous manifestation, and it was as if we'd received a confirmation that we were evolving to our next step. I can't tell you how good it felt.


My Intention for today is:

I intend that I remember that what I am thinking and talking about all day long is what I am manifesting for myself.

AVAAZ--THEY KILL KIDS

Dear friends, In the next 72 hours, 109 countries are negotiating to ban cluster munitions -- weapons that, like land mines, kill children long after wars have ended. Immediate pressure is needed --send your message:


BAN CLUSTER BOMBS


Final negotiations are underway right now in Dublin, Ireland on a treaty to ban cluster bombs. Arms manufacturers are pushing governments to riddle the treaty with loopholes and delays -- and the final text will be decided in the next 72 hours.

Cluster munitions don't just kill during war. They scatter small, shiny, unexploded "bomblets" on the ground that hold their deadly charge for years. When children pick them up, they are often maimed or killed. Most governments agree that these weapons should be outlawed, but back-room pressure is rising to undercut a strong ban.

If enough of us act before the treaty is signed on Friday, we can drown out the weapons merchants and convince our governments to ban cluster bombs once and for all. Click below to send a message, and then forward this email to friends and family:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/ban_cluster_munitions/13.php?cl=91802551

The treaty to ban cluster munitions is the result of an inspiring, years-long campaign by citizens from around the world -- with victims and survivors of cluster bombs leading the way. One spokesman for the effort, Branislav Kapetanovic, lost his hands, legs, and some of his hearing and eyesight in a cluster-bomb explosion in his native Serbia. He is now in Dublin, pushing for the treaty -- but he took a moment to sent this message to the Avaaz community (you can see a video on the the Avaaz site):
Cluster bombs are one of the most dangerous weapons of today. The majority of their victims are civilians, affecting millions worldwide. They have absolutely no place in a conflict situation.

This week governments have gathered together in Dublin to outlaw this dangerous weapon. This is a historic meeting of the international community. Some governments are trying to undermine and weaken the treaty with loopholes and exceptions. They are trying to position the arms trade over the importance of lives of people like me.

Rich governments don't always listen to victims, but they will listen to you -- their citizens. Please send a strong message to your government now that calls for a treaty with no exception, no loopholes, and no delays.
Advocates like Kapetanovic have faced down enormous odds to reach this point, the brink of victory. Now, as citizens around the world, we can do our part, and raise a massive cry as the negotiators spar over the final text of the treaty. Watch the video, check out a map of countries that produce or use cluster bombs and send a message to your leaders, all from this link:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/ban_cluster_munitions/14.php?cl=91802551

In 1997, the people-powered International Campaign to Ban Land Mines won a victory for humanity, earning a Nobel Peace Prize by ending the barbaric practice of laying mines in conflict zones. It would not have been possible without the efforts of thousands of ordinary people. This week, we can take the next step towards a more just, more peaceful world -- a world safer for children, and for generations to come.

With hope,

Ben, Pascal, Ricken, Galit, Graziela, Paul, Iain, and Veronique -- the Avaaz.org team

TODAY'S OM INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

Spiritual Being--Physical Experience

Physical Bodies on Earth

We are on this earth, in our physical bodies, because our souls have things to learn that we could not learn in any other way. It is through our physical body and the physical world that we can experience life. Purely spiritual beings are just that - they are in a state of being rather than doing - in a place that is beyond the limitations of time and space. But when we incarnate on the physical plane, we are automatically subject to the laws of physics and the world of dualities. In this place, we know what happiness is because we have experienced sadness, and we understand the value and power of light because we have known darkness. Knowing this, we have the opportunity to let ourselves be spiritual beings having a physical experience.

There is no pain in the spiritual realm, because we know we are one with the limitless source of the universe. But here, in the material realm, our sense of limitation and separation allows us to feel our emotions and to learn about love, forgiveness, and compassion. We go from a spiritual state of oneness to learning how to be in relationship with people who are different and distinct individuals. We learn to understand ourselves through our relationships with the world around us-its seasons and landscapes, challenges and opportunities. And through our journey to find our place among so many others, we begin to recognize our own glimmer of light in a constellation of stars.

Once we remember that we are spiritual beings, we can revel in the experience of being human while knowing we are all connected. We can live from the place of oneness while truly appreciating the beauty of diversity, the bittersweet feel of love and loss, and the elation of triumph over challenges and adversity. It is through these opposites that we experience life itself, and we can ride through the dark times with the understanding that it will help us to appreciate the light of life and love and spirit more fully. We are here now because we made the choice to experience an earth life, so now we can choose to enjoy the journey as completely as possible.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

YOU CAN TAKE NO CREDIT FOR BEAUTY AT 16.

BUT IF YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AT 60, IT WILL

BE YOUR SOUL'S OWN DOING.

Featured Article #1: Joanna's painful foot was traced to an upset with her boyfriend--EFT eliminates pain from her "Jimmy foot": Here's an excellent example of how emotional issues can show up in the body. Gratitude to Rossanna Massey for submitting it. She says, "My friend Joanna called me late one evening worried about her right foot. It started off as a slight ache in the morning, but as the day progressed it got considerably worse. She could not recall any precipitating factors or injuries that would make her foot hurt so badly." Email Rossanna and Visit her website

Featured Article #2: EFT newcomer helps her daughter’s lifelong constipation: I have heard many reports over the years where EFT has helped relieve constipation. Here is another by Gill Danis from France. She says, "After a few minutes of tapping, Annie felt her bowels gurgling." I've heard comments like this many times. Email Gill

Featured Article #3: Tapping for fear of the ‘tax man’: I don't think anyone likes to have correspondence with the "tax man." Pamela Bruner's client, however, had a full fledged phobia about it. Read how Pamela handled it. Email Pamela and Visit her website

Featured Article #4: Did Mary’s thoughts of wanting a girl affect her unborn son?: On many occasions I have successfully applied EFT to 'core issues' that appeared to occur in the womb. This article by Mary Madeline Day emphasizes this important concept. Email Mary Madeline and Visit her website

Tips from the EFT Website

Broad issues, sleeping problems and chronic pain: Syena has been an EFT'er now for only a few months. I thought you would enjoy her writing style and enthusiasm as she tells of some recent experiences that range from very broad self esteem issues to sleeping problems to chronic pain. Along the way, please notice the link between the clients' emotional issues and their physical ailments. Also notice Syena's use of intuition and her ability to be a detective in finding core issues ...
Intentional EFT, enhancing romance and chewing cold things: Although his story includes several issues, the reaction Jim Shane got from his wife after he used EFT to help her through their argument was particularly amusing. As he reports, "I stepped back and watched as she stood there, her eyes shifting back and forth as if to search for something she'd lost. After about fifteen seconds , she looked at me, walked up to me and put her arms around me. We just held each other for about a minute, then she said "I was stuck, and I couldn't get out of it. This is amazing!" I had to agree. It would have taken hours for us to get over just being awkward around each other, let alone intimate. It was magic!"
Intentionality on an airplane: This whole notion of tapping for someone else (surrogate tapping) and mental tapping (intentionality) has been featured on this list on many occasions. There are too many successful reports from independent sources to wave a nonchalant hand at it or "explain it away." We are stepping beyond mere coincidence here. This example has been submitted by Dr. Patricia Carrington who, interestingly enough, comes from the scientific community and was formerly the chairperson for scientific research for ACEP. I love scientists with open minds. They are the ones who break the ground for new discoveries.
Breathing problems, surrogate tapping, and Try it on Everything: Adding to the Try it On Everything collection, here are a few more examples of issues that have responded to standard and creative uses of EFT.
A 91 year old lady's sleeping disorder: Gloria Arenson is a seasoned practitioner in this field with decades of experience in the psychotherapy field. She takes us through a sleeping issue with a 91 year old lady and, along the way, demonstrates expert facility with EFT and finding a core issue.
A "One point wonder" on pain & a question on morning sickness.: Glenn Turner, a newcomer to EFT from Australia, poses two interesting questions. The first is in regards to relieving shoulder pain by tapping only one point. The other involves tapping on pregnant women. Although we still don't have concrete answers for many questions, we continue to recommend the advice of a licensed physician whenever there is doubt about the safety of using EFT.
Cervical cancer pain and being specific: Krysti Wesley gives us this creative use of "getting specific" on a patient's intense pain. Experimenting with more specific approaches will not only lead to better results, the artist who develops these tools usually has several doorways through which to approach each issue.
Headaches, substance sensitivities, phone work, dental fears and grief.: Crystal Hawk, an experienced and well known practitioner in Canada, gives us a broad look at some of her uses for EFT--she addresses headaches, substance sensitivities, phone work, dental fears and grief. I augment her message with a few comments.
Neck pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome--Pass the Megaphone: Beth Smillie from the UK helps a client eliminate neck pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It sounds so casual, so routine. It reads as though these things are commonplace. Please understand, though, that the client's neck pain was of six years duration and was given up on by the medical establishment. Also, IBS is one of those medical maladies that is often stubborn and not easily cured. Yet with a few waves of the fingertips, Beth was able to give this client complete and lasting relief on both issues.

Workshop Room
Come join Imara where she will explore not only how to Find the Goddess Within, but why it is so important to do so. Imara was recently called to the birthplace of the Renaissance to open vortices of the Goddess once again, and the effect was profound. Events such as the Athena Festival represent a rumbling of the Goddess energy that can no longer remain repressed if we are to be healthy as individuals, societies and the world at large. As with all Imara’s popular, public presentations, Finding the Goddess Within™ (which is being presented with the help of Divine Guidance just for The Athena Festival™), will be a uniquely multi-sensory experience. Imara will not only share her renown experience and reputed clear vision, she will guide those present through a meditative and transformative journey to Finding Your Own Goddess Within!

1:00 pm - Keynote Address - She Who Holds Up the World - Donna DeNomme
Workshop Room
Do you feel the weight of somehow having to "hold up" your world? Are you carrying excessive expectations and responsibilities on your back? In what ways are you personally called to show up each day? Donna DeNomme drew upon a very difficult period in her life to author an inspirational, award-winning book, Turtle Wisdom: Coming Home to Yourself. Her practical tips recall the ancient power and feminine wisdom of one of the greatest symbols known in myth and culture throughout the world. In Hindu mythology, the tortoise actually supports the world on her back. The commonly held notion of a turtle shell conjures the image of a very rounded top, dependable and sturdy. What better place to envision our womb of consciousness, where we can dream our dreams and from which we can birth our reality?
This dynamic Keynote Presentation explores how the Divine Feminine Energy will be the transformational force that will catalyze significant changes in our time, and is already in motion, including the suddenly-real possibility of a woman president. Fascinating stories about inspirational women like Marilyn Van Derbur Atler, Wilma Mankiller and Mother Teresa illustrate the strength of feminine Turtle Wisdom. Learn how you can skillfully carry all that you do, in a way which is healthy and balanced, fulfilled and unfrazzled in your everyday life. Give yourself permission to be happy and to achieve the greatness that you were destined to express!
Donna was voted Colorado's "Spiritual Health Guru" by 5280 Magazine. She is the author of the award winning book, Turtle Wisdom: Coming Home to Yourself, and has spent over 25 years assisting clients with their healing, life enrichment and spiritual development. Donna has a degree in Human Development and Families Studies from Cornell University, an advanced certification in Spiritual Coaching, and many years training in alternative therapies and indigenous healing studies.
