Welcome from Daniele and Sarrinn!

From Daniele: So, have you watched The Secret? I have so many friends who have seen this surprising film that it is fun to hear their reviews... Many are thrilled and listening to it often. Some are thrilled but ready for whatever is next. And then there's the group that is simply frustrated because it took a 'Hollywood' presentation to get people to hear what many have been teaching for decades.

Personally, I'm thrilled because this one documentary style presentation has managed to touch millions with hope, compassion and spiritual tools which were heretofore ignored by those same millions. Yes, absolutely, these teachings are not new. But it is new to have so many listening and applying the information.

I do sense one problem... In The Secret, much attention is placed on The Law of Attraction, and much attention is placed on the response of the Universe (i.e. "Your wish is my command!"). But how much attention is given to receiving... The Law of Allowing?

If you have sensed an increased level of chaos in the world lately, perhaps it comes from so many telling the Universe what the want while so few actually understand how to receive it.

From Sarrinn and Abraham: Receiving happens when your vibration matches the vibration of the thing which you are wanting. If you have become frustrated by lack of success  in making positive changes to your life, then take heed of the resonance of your own being... Do you feel good? And do you feel good most of the time? That is how you receive the joys you are desiring. That is how you allow in the results of the energies you have set in motion when you told the Universe what you are wanting.

If your results have been less than expected we suggest you understand the emphasis required by each step of manifesting. Step 1 is telling the Universe what you are wanting... this takes about 30 seconds if your desire is clear. Step 2 is the job of the Universe. Because they exist in 'no time', their response of 'Yes, and here it comes!' is instantaneous. So with steps #1 and #2 you have used 30 seconds, more or less...

Step 3 is to hold your vibration at the appropriate level for the rest of the 23 hours, 59 minutes and 30 seconds. Does that give you an idea of what the problem might be?

The answer is to feel good... think happy thoughts... and if 23+ hours is too much (!), then how about just the 14 or so that you are awake? And if that is still too much, simply do the best you can and slowly but surely increase the amount of time you spend feeling good.

The chaos that is growing worldwide is because change is happening and that is good. The chaos will end as people decide to feel good. And what is your decision?

This is the website of the Daughters of Isis, Inc. who make the beautiful and empowering essential oil blends which I have chosen to sell on my own website. Their web design is very lovely they have truly set an energy at this site which is true to the oils they create. If you go there and explore, you will find a lot of very good information and many interesting blends which are not yet on my product list (but will be soon!) and you will also see where they have plans for new blends.

The White Book, by Ramtha, JZK Publishing, ISBN 1-57873-045-7;

I confess that I didn't used to be a fan of J. Z. Knight and the Ramtha channeling but I realize now that most of my aversion was due to misinformation. I would hope that, had I researched the teachings offered by Ramtha through J. Z. Knight, I would have changed my mind quickly! This newly revised (originally published in 1999) book is outstanding!

The first few chapters give you a biography of Ramtha that is quite intriguing. The rest of the book is a loving, compassionate and well written spiritual text.

Sample quotes from the book: "Only remember this: Whatever you think to be, is. Anytime you believe in anything, it becomes truth in an emotional reality within your being. That is why everyone is always on the pinnacle of truth, no matter what that point of view is." p. 160.

"When you do not judge your thoughts but allow them to manifest as emotion within your soul, you are living as an unlimited God merely being open to the Isness and all that it is. Then you become a pure channel of your own God self and you come closer to the pure simplicity of the mind of God." p. 260.

If you are on a spiritual path (and who is not?), this book is filled with wisdom and, perhaps most exciting of all, this book is pertinent to life 'after the shift'.

Harvey Have you ever seen this movie? Recently? What a wonderful, funny, well written, metaphysical show! It's on the movie channels often and it's also available on DVD... and well worth the price!

Imagine a man (Jimmy Stewart) who is a bit of a souse and whose best friend is a Puka... a 6'6" tall, white, invisible rabbit. And of course, the man is the only one who can see the Puka... at least through most of the movie. One of my favorite quotes ever comes toward the end of the story... One of the characters asks him how he got so wise. His answer: "My mother taught me years ago that 'I could be pleasant or I could be right'... I chose pleasant."

If you're tired of news and reality TV. and simply want to enjoy yourself... Harvey is worth the try!

The Gateless Gate, by Dick Sutphen

I love guided meditations! For most of my life I have been slow to go to sleep and these wonderful CDs have become my meditation as I relax into the night. The best ones offer rich, visual storylines which teach, heal or inspire. And for me, The Gateless Gate, a 'mind movie' narrated and written by Dick Sutphen, is one of my favorites.

What is it about? The story takes the listener to a Zen retreat for one week where he or she studies, meditates, contemplates, exchanges ideas with other students, learns from the master teacher who heads the retreat and relaxes. Using advanced recording techniques, the sounds, music, voice and story take you there quite effectively.

If I had one criticism, it would be that the main character (you) keeps setting an alarm clock for 4:30 a.m. and it rings appropriately in the story. When the CD was new, I kept waking up at 4:30 in the morning and wondering why! Once I realized (and had a good laugh!) I reprogrammed my own intention about waking up and the problem stopped.

Sutphen has several other mind movies worth the investment ($20 per CD unless they are on special... His company has great specials... often half price!). His website also has a wealth of other offerings centered around his work as a master hypnotist.

I Love My Body  Can you imagine what would happen to your physical being if you began using these four words as a mantra? It's an intriguing thought with immense potential. For instance, if you are a smoker... Notice what your thoughts are as you smoke... Most of you are thinking things like: These things will kill me some day... or... I wish I could quit (talk about pure resistance!). What do you think might happen if you thought 'I love my body' as you smoked each and every cigarette? If energy follows thought 100% of the time (which it does) the results of this change will be phenomenal.

Or what if you stopped the mind chatter (which is, technically, a mantra energy) that says, 'I hate getting old' or 'I wish I were thinner' or 'I'm so stupid'... and replaced it with 'I love my body'...

For one thing, you might start feeling good most of the time and if you are still confused about what happens when you feel good that much, reread the first article in this newsletter! It just might work...
