Anyone from sedona?

van — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 21:09:20 GMT

hello all. Van here from the Holiday 05/06 retreat. I was thinking about taking a trip to Sedona this spring break...by myself. I just need to get away from school (and my philosophy teachers) and work some things out. I was wondering if anyone, or if anyone knew someone, from the sedona area who would be willing to give me some helpful hints on what to do, where to go, where to camp etc. etc. All help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks again.

in love and light, van

What would happen if...

Fri, 06 Jan 2006 01:48:00 GMT

...the following statements were true:

Nobody needs my help:

I don't need anybody's help:

Nobody owes me anything:

I don't owe anybody anything:

Nobody does anything they don't want to do:

Nobody does anything inappropriate given their model of the world:

Did this process cause anyone to shift?

Do tell.

Understanding Death

Julie — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 16:53:15 GMT

My fellow Angeles,

Yesterday I had a feeling something was wrong with Angel Baby. I went to the doctor and this Thursday was three months for us. Sadly today we saw the baby on the screen but there was no heartbeat. As I type this email I can not believe this is real. I found out two hours ago and I feel like I am in a bad dream. I feel like part of me has died...yet I still carry this baby inside me. Tomorrow I go into the hospital...I just can not believe it. I am so angry and disappointed...I feel like I am falling and I will never land...I just wanted you to know that I am crushed. I am not sure what the lesson is but I feel like I am lucky to be alive and have my family. Please pray for Andrew and I that we may have a spiritual healing in our minds and hearts. Please also pray that Angel Baby may have found it's way back home safely without us there to guide it.

Sadly,

Julie

Grateful at Thanksgiving

Elise — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:08:59 GMT

I am so very grateful this Thanksgiving to have such a wonderfully supportive group of souls in my life. The news of Angel Baby brings much sadness this morning, but also happiness that there are souls who care deeply for each other and are willing to stay connected.
I am so excited and grateful today because I'm visiting my dad in Albuquerque who just arrived home from Panama yesterday where he now has duel citizenship and a new home. Both my sons arrive tomorrow and we will have a wonderful family reunion...they will meet thier cousins on Thurs. whom they've never met. I have a new boyfriend who is EXTREAMLY wealthy and is creating a charitable foundation to help women with backgrounds similar to my own and I get to help. I am looking forward to our retreat next month and will have my book "Journey to Heaven by way of Hell" finished by then. So much to be greatful for!!
Please share your gratitude...what are you grateful for this Thanksgiving season?
Peace, joy, love and light,
Elise

The Challenges We Face...

Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:21:12 GMT

...Face them with love vs. fear. No matter what we face our response to it is our responsibility. (Responsibility is the ability to respond, our gift from God). As you all know we only have these two choices. Below is something from Deepak on love vs. fear.

"When you feel awful - angry, resentful, stressful, envious, depressed, worried, guilty, frustrated, etc - at the root of it is FEAR. But what happens to your body, on a molecular level, when you experience fear? Something quite destructive, actually.

You see, the basis of fear is SEPARATION. That means that, at a molecular level, there is less communication between the cells of your body - you're separating yourself from your healing power. Whereas, when you're happy - feeling joyful, playful, eager, enthusiastic, excited, generous, etc., you are experiencing LOVE. And here's why love is so powerful: the basis of love is CONNECTION.

At a molecular level, your cells "talk" to each other more freely. There's an open flow of energy and communication from one part of your body to another - from the life-giving energy in the universe directly into and through your body. LOVE sustains life, while FEAR destroys it."

~ Deepak Chopra

May we all remember to choose love in every situation, no matter how challeging! The gift of this tribe is that we never have to face them alone. Thank you for that.

I love you all!

An Opportunity to Help Another

Mon, 07 Nov 2005 20:20:06 GMT

People come to the Grief Recovery Retreat looking to heal from the pain created by loss. We welcome them even if they aren’t able to pay. The up-coming Grief Recovery Retreat extends full and partial scholarships to those who desire to heal but are limited by their means to do so.

For example we have someone who is now staying here locally in San Diego that is from New Orleans. He lost everything when Katrina hit. I mean everything. Business, home, car, belongings…'everything gone in one storm. He will be attending our retreat on a full scholarship due to the generosity of someone just like you.

Would you like to make a difference in someone’s life? You can through our sponsorship program. Through the support of this program, seven people out of the twenty coming to our next retreat will do so because of someone who cares. Ready to help? You may send your request to sponsor and gift to:

Rev. J.R. Westen, D.D.
1135 Cabrillo Cir
Vista CA 92084

Any amount will help!

I will let you know who you helped and share their story. This retreat has seven people in need so far. Know someone in need? Have them contact us.

Thanks for your consideration!

OverLight Spiritual Psychology for people wishing to move forward, intuitive counselors and healers in all areas.

Presented by Steve & Barbara Rother of Lightworker.com.

Certification as an OverLight Spiritual Psychology facilitator is given upon completion of this training.

"A Right-Brain Approach to a Left-Brain World."

Here Steve Rother shares the tools given to him by the Group for his private session. This is the material that is taught in the OverLight Spiritual Psychology training's from Lightworker.

In this course we teach you how to do the same type of private sessions that Steve has been doing successfully for six years. We teach you the tools and give you the opportunity to put them into practice in a classroom setting.

Have you ever wondered why it is that one person can grow up with every conceivable advantage, and yet seem incapable of mastering even the simplest things in life?

Have you ever known someone who, despite being highly intelligent, keeps on repeating the same mistakes over and over again?

It is only when we begin to view the human experience as the evolutionary process of a soul that we can begin to understand all these strange forces at work in our lives.

We see ourselves as human beings searching for a spiritual awakening when, in fact, we are spiritual beings trying to cope with a human awakening.

But what causes us to seek these experiences in the first place?
What is it, precisely, that sets certain life patterns into motion?
Why do these patterns emerge in our own behaviors repeatedly?
More importantly, what would happen if we could find ways of identifying this higher purpose and in so doing transform seemingly destructive patterns into positive attributes?

The twelve primary life lessons are the basis of why we are here as souls, playing the human game. We work on one at a time, lifetime after lifetime until we master it, then we are on to the next. Understanding the way it works from a higher perspective can help us re-member what we had in mind when we planned this current incarnation. We go through life believing that we are humans searching for a spiritual awakening, when in fact we are spirits, attempting to cope with a human awakening.

Spiritual Psychology offers a radically different view of life and the human experience. This book offers a union of the physical and metaphysical approaches to the human condition. It offers a view of humanity from the higher perspective of our own spirit.

“This book gives us help for our bodies, sanity for our minds and food for our Souls”

Charles L. Whitfield, MD author of “Healing the Child Within ” & “The Truth about Mental Illness”

Barbara Harris, RT author of “Spiritual Awakenings”

I am one voice...NEW 11/1/05 Sylvi Update

Ron — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 22:05:31 GMT

Hello Tribesmen;
Thought you’d like to hear the latest scoop about how things are going with Sylvi. She did get the pins and traction put into her head. In spite of the fact that the doctor’s agreed she had a very hard head, this part of the procedure went off like a breeze. From then on it went downhill. They had to add 5# of weights every half hour through the night. After forty pounds of weight her back and arms and lungs were in such excrutiating pain that she could not stand it anymore. She begged the doctor to take the weights off for five minutes which they did. Soon they continued but her oxygen levels got dangerously low. By 3:30am the doctor came in and suggested she might consider aborting the procedure, and they took it off again. At 8:30am another doctor (big cheese) came in and said that her lungs were too weak to continue, and said that she would not make it through the surgery because of her oxygen levels. The second doctor said he would not proceed, and that she should live with the consequences. They warned Sylvi that she would have 6 months to 6 years to live and would then become a quadriplegic. At that point Sylvi couldn’t keep her eyes open to listen to what they were saying. She got dressed and was told she could leave when she wanted but she was too weak to move.

Odie was allowed in the hospital and was very good. He was so helpful and nervous and continued to keep his eye on Sylvi no matter what happened.

Of course, we don’t believe anything that the doctors are proposing, and thank God that we have you to stand beside us and continue to claim her healing. We are asking that you continue to put Sylvi’s name over the internet or on any other tribes you many know of, or your churches, or anyone who will say prayers for Sylvi’s miracle still to come.

Thanks again for all the love that we felt surrounding us during this difficult time.

We love you guys,

Ron & Sylvi

Study Groups

Therese — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 16:04:36 GMT

Since the Vermont Retreat, I have put together a study/discussion group (in French) which meets every 2 weeks. Eight people came to the first meeting. The next
one had 2 more.

I have an ad in the newspaper for a group in English and some people have shown interest. More to come.

I plan to have one meeting in French on Sunday afternoon
2 to 4 p.m. and one meeting in English on Wednesday evening from 7 p.am. to 8:30 - 9 p.m. Both groups will meet every 2 weeks.

I write a weekly column in the newspaper. I wrote one on the
Retreat in Vermont and another one quoting Neale on his
text in the Canadian HT Newsletter. (on the disaters in the world as miracles to change the world).

Actually I am surprised that the paper allowed these articles.
It is a sure sign that people are interested in an "other way".

Much love to all you Gods whom I was priviledge to meet at the Vermont retreat.
Therese

CwG Movie

Wed, 02 Nov 2005 02:00:40 GMT

Dear Friends!

I am thrilled to announce that the movie version of CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD will go into production on November 7!

My hope has always been that a film could help many more people appreciate the extraordinary messages in Conversations With God. Because the books mean so much to so many people, I didn't want to risk turning the movie over to Hollywood. I wished for a movie that would retain the integrity of the CwG message, and send it in an amazing and
imaginative way. Now this intention has been manifested and the dream is becoming a reality.

The film is being produced and directed by my dear and trusted friend, Stephen Simon, who has brought to the world such classics of Spiritual Cinema as SOMEWHERE IN TIME
and WHAT DREAMS MAY COME. With Stephen's involvement, I know we will preserve the purity of the messages AND make a thrilling movie. Our screenwriter, Eric DelaBarre,
has written a wonderful and compelling script that captures the untold story behind the books, creatively intertwined with the messages of Conversations With God.

In August, hundreds of enthusiastic actors participated in the casting process. Many of them told us that they felt called to support this film. Frances Fisher, who starred as Kate Winslet's mother in TITANIC, shared with us the synchronicity
that led to her being cast in Conversations With God:

On the evening of July 12, while walking in the woods around my home, I cried out to God for the answer to my constant struggle between my personal life, following my creativity and making an impact with my work. Which, in essence means, integrating my spiritual practice in all the realms of my world. The next day a friend sent me an email suggesting that I would be perfect for one of the lead roles in CWG.
Within hours the role was mine.

Shooting begins on November 7 and ends on December 9. The Spiritual Cinema Circle is capturing the entire process for its DVDs. Each month, Circle members will see
a 5 - 7 minute / Behind the Scene mini-documentary on the making of this film. Circle members will also be the first to own the Conversations With God movie when it comes
out on DVD. If you're not already a member, you can join by clicking here, http://www.spiritualcinemacircle.com/?af=22

You can see the most recent version on the CWG movie site, <http://www.cwgthemovie.com

If you would like to be an extra in the film, please send an email with your daytime phone number to cwg@jeffersoncasting.com mailto:cwg@jeffersoncasting.com
or call 541-899-0201 and leave your name and phone number.)

I have also been invited as a special guest for the next Spiritual Cinema Festival at Sea. This unique film festival featuring spiritual filmmaking will be held aboard
Holland America's Oosterdam, sailing from San Diego on April 22 - 29, 2006 along the Mexican Riviera. Those on the cruise will be the very first in the world to see footage from CWG. For more information on how to join us, please see http://www.spiritualcinemafestival.com/?af=22

Just as the CWG books became worldwide bestsellers by word-of-mouth, we have created an innovative campaign to help spread the word about the film. During September
and most of October of 2006, Stephen & I will travel to 18 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada on a preview screening tour. For one night in each city, we will show the completed film and dialogue with the audience afterwards. We have
listed the cities, dates and locations on www.cwgthemovie.com

Tickets for these advance screenings will go on sale next year.

The premiere for the film will be held in Portland, Oregon on Thursday, October 19. 2006 as a benefit for Sisters of the Road, a non-profit organization that assists the homeless. The film will be released into theaters and the Spiritual Cinema Network of churches the weekend of October 20, 2006. Details will be on the website as they become available.

I ask you to lend your heart to the project in any way you can. One way to participate is by holding a space in your consciousness for this film to bring the messages of Conversations With God to millions of people on the planet, and in so doing, to bring healing and harmony to our world.

With love,

Neale

Let us NOT pray for Silvi and Ron

Bonnie — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 03:47:52 GMT

Let us not pray for Silvi and Ron,
Let us pray with Silvi and Ron.
Let us not send our healing energy to Silvi and Ron,
Let us combine our healing energy with Silvi and Ron.

I had the privilege and joy to talk with Silvi and Ron today and found them to be in good spirits, to be hopeful and confident. Yes, there was the tiniest bit of apprehension and the smallest bit of irritation showing, but on the whole they both were in a receiving mode, an open state of mind. Let us all fill them with our hope, joy and love. Let us all thank God for the healing of our friends, Silvi and Ron. Let us show our appreciation to the Lord for keeping this whole situation in hand and doing what is best for all.

Ok, fellow Godlets, let’s go! Let’s do our stuff! In every waking hour, whatever your time zone, let’s hold hands in a worldwide circle, quiet our minds and join our healing powers with theirs! Even if it’s only for a minute and hour, let’s keep them on our mind and in our prayers.

Love and hugs to you all.
Bonnie from WV

julianne — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 06:35:22 GMT

Hello everyone!

I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING IN aFRICA FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND HAVE JUST LANDED IN rOME. Computers are easier to come by here although my time is limited!

I just wanted to send you all my love and especially to Sylvie. I am thinking about you constantly and praying for you every day. You are an angel and an example of strength and amazing beauty. I remember when when all put our hands on you that day in Vermont and how you slept 5 hrs. for the first time in a long while...now we can all send that same energy from just a thought away. I am sending it to you now and Im sure many others are too, everytime they think of you and pray for you. Maybe we can all coordinate a time to send you our healing thoughts all at once for an extra kick! Sound cool?

I love you Sylv, and please let it be known that you are not going through this alone! We are all with you. And I think I can say that if youre feeling like you need a friend or just some encouragement, any one of the people that you met at the retreat would be honored to get a phone call, whether you are in tears or whether you just want to know that someones there!

WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!!

I will be in touch and feel our prayers!

Love Julianne

I am one voice...NEW Developments******

Ron — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 16:04:12 GMT

Hi everyone,
At 7:30am this morning we were advised that Sylvi's surgery has been moved to this Thursday Oct. 27th, and that Sylvi will be admitted to the hospital tomorrow. The reason for the sudden change is due to Sylvi's recent arm pain which the doctor says is related to the spine and the beginning stages of quadraplegia.

Please pray for Sylvi's complete peace and knowing that she is in the hands of the divine, and that her miracle is already in process.

Sylvi has asked that you all could visualize her healed before the operation. Sylvi also wants you to know that she is so grateful to all of you. She says she could not go through this without your loving support. Sylvi also asks that you forgive her for not answering your loving messages. She has not felt well of late and wishes she could respond to each one of you.
She considers all of you her family, and she will call or write each of you as soon as she is able.

Thank you so much!
Ron

A Letter from Will @ CWG Foundation

Thu, 27 Oct 2005 23:00:27 GMT

My dear friends,

I am Will Richardson, and I have been with the CwG Foundation since it was formed about ten years ago. I start by calling you my friends, because I feel that over the years I have met so many of you by phone and in person at the retreats and other functions. Thanks for that opportunity, and for Being my friend.

I have performed many tasks around the Foundation since we formed it and I have served as general flunky (the biggest job), retreat coordinator, executive director,
and had many other clean up roles. It has been a major growth period for me and I have enjoyed almost all of it (I am into transparency, so can’t honestly say all
of it). There have been times when I have had to ask myself “What in the world do you think you are doing here?” and times when I have absolutely known this is
exactly where I belong.

I first met Neale ten years ago, and we both, immediately, knew we were ‘brothers’. He has come to be one of my “best” friends and we enjoy spending time together.
I am currently, once again, the retreat coordinator for the Foundation.

A few months ago, we went through a major reorganization here. We pared down to five full time employees, and about three contract employees, who work part time. We also have several volunteers who work part time. We have a couple office spaces in one of the local downtown office buildings, and several of us work from our homes
(which I do and love). We have weekly meetings of the Core Council, to keep us all updated on the goings on and planning for the future.

I am currently putting together the retreat schedule for 2006 and locating the venues for the retreats, as well as the budgets and marketing plans. It will be an exciting
year with some really exciting new retreats and formats. I hope many of you will join us at one or more of the retreats next year.

Many of the preceding letters from other staff members have told you how we are struggling to make ends meet. I am now going to take a big chance and tell you we are really making great progress in our financial picture, and are actually paying off some of our debt.

Now, please, don’t think that we do not still need you. You are the reason we are here and doing all we do. You are the ones that make it possible for this important work in sharing the messages of Conversations with God to continue and to expand. Your contributions are what keep us going and are enabling us to pull ourselves out of the deep financial pit we have been in for so many years.

Yes, we are making progress, and YES, we still need you and all you care to do to help us. We need your monetary contributions. We need you to continue telling others about these books and the wonderful messages contained in them. We need you to continue and expand the study groups out there. We need you and others to come to the retreats to have a better understanding of yourselves and this work.
We need you to keep referring others to us and to the LEP, where you can really learn how to share these messages in an effective manner.

So, please, don’t forget us. I know with Hurricanes Katrina, and Rita and now Wilma and earthquakes in Pakistan, and landslides in Central America, it is easy to feel pulled in so many different directions. And perhaps, one of the things you have learned from CwG is that we cannot change any of these things, all we can do is change the way we choose to BE in the face of them.

So, please keep those cards and letters and checks, and emails coming. We are making it and will make it and it is all because of you. You are the reason we are here – in more ways than one. Your contributions make it possible for us to continue, and we continue because you are out there, and ask us to keep it up.

And since we are all one, we help each separate individuation by helping each other.

Blessings and Thank You.

Hello, my friends,

I'm asking for your help in sending your love and light to a couple of people in my life who are going through an exceptionally difficult time with illness.

First, my coworker and friend Steve has just had his father diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. It's in his bronchial tubes, among other places, so it's only treatable by radiation and chemo. As of yesterday, he didn't know what his parents were going to decide in terms of treatment. They are in their 70's, have lived a good life in Kansas, and are weighing their options of how best to spend the last months of his father's life together. Steve has been pretty strong with us at work, and was a good support for his mother when he went home last week, but I'm sure this isn't easy on him, either, so I'm asking for your help in sending him healing love and energy.

My friend Jeff is currently waging his own war with cancer, or something. About two months ago, routine blood tests red-flagged that something was amiss, and 6 weeks later, he had surgery to remove a tumor in his kidney that was less than 2 centimeters long (which means, they caught it early). Two weeks ago, while recouperating at home, he suffered nausea and terrible pains in his abdomen, which led them back to the hospital. Over the course of the next week (last week), they discovered blood clots on his lungs, and another red flag: the lymph nodes around his heart and in his shoulder are inflammed for no reason... which could be more cancer. He is currently on blood thinners to reduce the clots, and is slated to have a biopsy on the nodes in a couple of weeks. There is a potential side effect with the biopsy, however; they go through the throat to reach them, and they could possibly injure the nerves that control his vocal cords. And yes, this is someone I make music with at my church, and who has been an inspiration to me for years. He's an amazing musician, and had only recently returned to performing professionally at a local restaurant, where they love him to pieces. He's pretty emotionally beat up about all of this. He was working positive energy from the start of the kidney thing, but the tests never came back in his favor, so now he doesn't know what to think, or feel. Of course, I'm thinking, "Why are you creating this?! How am I contributing to the creation of this?!," But I really don't think it's time for him to go just yet, for what that's worth.

It's a difficult time for all of us who love Jeff, and I've got our church rockin' & rollin' for him, but I think it's time to bring in the closers! You guys can, and do, create anything, so please help me heal Jeff. (He likes home baked cookies, too, so any help on that front will be greatly appreciated, as well!!) I don't know if there's a website that you can hear his music or not; he's published original music and arranged others' music for Catholic hymnals, specifically one from Oregon Catholic Press. I'll have to let you know if they are on the web. It's amazing stuff, and he's a treasure, and he needs all the support he can get.

Thank you all in advance for healing Steve and Jeff. I can feel the energy already, and I haven't even posted this yet!

Much, much love,
~Rita

OK You Guys and Gals...Who Am I Going to Be Seeing in December?

Jennifer — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 05:00:10 GMT

Hi All!

I miss you all very much, and I am so proud of all of you in making your freams come true. I am more proud that I can point to a place where we can all gather and support one another. I am so happy so many of you are participating in this site. Much healing and loving is still going on as a result, and we have JR to thank for that.

OK. NOW. We have a retreat and an LEP program starting December 28th. Who will I be seeing there? I wish to see you again an relish in your angel-ness!

Let me know who are (and if you are) going. I will then begin to "bug" the rest of the angels in participating as well. I know the timing and costs may "seem all wrong", but I promise you, they are all RIGHT!

Many Hugs...in Love and Light,
Jen "The Professor"

p.s. I miss you...I know I said that but I am saying that as an extra "nudge"...could I be trying to use Catholic "Guilt" to make you appear? Noooooo! That would be against all that we know. However, I am not above admitting that I will use whatever "devious means possible to hug you all again! (smile)

Sylvi Surgery Update

Elise — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 18:03:22 GMT

I just got off the phone with Ron and Sylvi was unable to handle the pain of traction. Surgery is no longer an option. She will be going home from the hospital today (Weds.) or tomorrow.
Please continue to pray for a miracle.

Help Feed the Poor!!

Bonnie — Sun, 16 Oct 2005 21:29:02 GMT

When you are doing your holiday shopping this year, please don't forget the poor. On TheHungerSite.com, there are hundreds of gift ideas for very reasonable prices. For instance, those "magic scarves that are so popular right now are on sale for only $9.95 and Pashmina scarves like the lovely one the Queen wore in VT are only $24.95. When you order from this site most of the items give 25 cups of staple food to the poor! My order for standard holdicay gifts I would have bought elsewhere just provided over 400 cups of free food to the poor.

If the governments won't do it, lets take care of it ourselves in this small way.

To learn all about it go to TheHungerSite.com.

Can you help me once again?

Sylvia — Wed, 05 Oct 2005 21:43:40 GMT

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry it to me so long to participate in the Tribe. I had decided that I would only read the postings because with these hands it takes me so long to type what I want to say, but you guys are having way to much fun without me. I miss you all so much, and I find it amazing that you can know people for such a short amount of time and yet it's as if you've known them always.

Another reason that I have not written is because I have not been feeling very well since I came home from the retreat. I am growing in so many ways and seeing things that I have never seen before and I'm not worried about how sick my body is feeling, but I do have so much I want to do. I've started writing the book that Neale challenged me to write and it's so exciting, but I'm often to tired to even write one line. Last night my ankles were so swollen that it took Ron and I over 2 hours to transfer into bed. I'm not writing this to complain, but I do remember my four wonderful nights of sleeping that I had on the retreat and decided to ask you to help me once again.

The other day I was looking at the crystals in Emoto’s book and remembered how I asked Neale why I couldn't be changed like those water crystals. I thought of how amazing I felt when your love miraculously healed me and I believe that although the physical manifestations were so amazing, a deeper healing began on that night and is still going on. I can't express in words how grateful I am to Neale and to all of you for giving me this incredible gift. Do I dare ask once again?

I know that the love we have for each other in this tribe is more powerful than we even realize. I know that if you "pray" for me I will see even more miracles and will feel better and be able to write my book and who knows what else. We have a very powerful resource here!

I have been sending blessings to Julie's new angel every day. I send JayAre blessings to guide him home. I " pray" for Karl and Chris and dear Marco and so many of you already, but as I ask for your support once again, I also want to tell you all that I will do the same for you, and if one of you has something special going on in your lives, I will send extra love and blessings.

I hope I'm not being to bold here, but if I am I trust you'll tell me. I love you.

Sylvi

I am one voice....Love is flowing

Ron — Sat, 22 Oct 2005 14:38:07 GMT

Hi everyone,
I just received an email from my nephew Jamie who we have not seen in years. My sister must have told her son Jamie about Sylvi's plight and the following is his response:

Subject: Prayers are badly needed!!
Hello family and friends. I come to you in a time of need. My aunt was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis while still in her late teens. The illness progressed and she contracted Felty’s Syndrome, a rare complication of long standing rheumatoid arthritis. Despite all of this, she has persevered on. In fact, she illustrates and writes children's books. You can check her out here: www.sylables.com
My aunt has just been informed that she needs surgery. Her spine is so badly out of line, that it is actually "C" shaped. She cannot lift her head from her shoulder, yet she continues to do things like drive her van, visit nursing homes, and actually has another book coming out soon. The tricky thing is that if she doesn't get this surgery, she will end up a paraplegic, and could die within a year. On the other hand, the surgery itself is a VERY dangerous surgery. Results can still leave her a paraplegic, she could have a stroke, or she could die on the operating table.
We are looking for a miracle. My Aunt Sylvia has pressed on through much disability. She has wowed us with her talent, and her determined will. Rachel, I would hope your church can pray together for her especially. If we all do a little something, she may have another "miracle" to add to her life. I urge you all to check out her website, and read her story, she truly is a special woman.
Thank you!!
Jamie

The following was my response to him:
Hi Jamie,

I am sitting here this morning with tears in my eyes, extremely grateful for your kind and loving words. You are a dear sweet soul and I am in awe at your words and their message. I pray to GOD that he showers you will special blessings and assigns you special angels to protect and guide you. …..Usually, I’m not the type of person to show my innermost emotions….but it has taken me quite some time to finish this brief message, because I have to keep stopping to dry my eyes which keep filling up with tears of gratitude.
Thank you seems so lame and lacking in what I am trying to express to you. I love you!
Ron

When Sylvia was in her early twenties she joined the Charismatic Renewal and lived with a family in RI with her daughter. Their names were Luke and Martha. I called Luke the other day and he prayed for Sylvi and said the following:
I feel God is telling me to tell you, he already has everything under control. You just need to relax and trust in Him and know that He is GOD. HE has a plan.

I spoke to one of my customers yesterday and she said "By the way I'm praying along with my church for your wife's miracle. I asked how did you know about this? She said her mom had told her. I worked with her mom at the local hospital, and I had just met her in the aisle of the supermaket and asked her for prayers for healing. Small world.

Just thought everyone would like to hear some feedback. Thank you all for your love and support!!!
Love and Peace
Ron

PS Sylvi's surgery date of December 8th is a Holy Day (Immaculate Heart of Mary). Is there a message there?

CwG discussion

Elise — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 15:37:59 GMT

Here's a discussion I had a few months ago with someone about CwG. I'd love to hear any input or comments on it...I cut and pasted it below...the formating didn't take so it might be a bit hard to follow but give it a try.
Love and light...
Elise

Back to Neal Donald Walsch, what can you tell me about your experience with him?
I read some of his books and then spent a week long retreat with him with my mom in NC. Mom knows him better than I because she attended several of his training seminars. I like him and what he has to share. He’s very dynamic and presents himself expressively. We spent time together on stage playing a game of “in the moment” and it opened my eyes to many things. He has an easy going style and his wife complements him perfectly. I fell in love with a CD of CWG songs by Cathy Bolton and Don Eaton who sang for and with us all week.
What I do like about his writings is that the concepts / theology are consistent throughout all his books. This is unlike Biblical Scriptures. Should you wish, the following may be shared with him. I would be curious as to what his answers might be.
I’ll try to reach him but don’t have his e-mail address. I can try through the CWG website.
However, for discussion, regarding the book "Conversations With God" series, I do believe Walsch is / was NOT talking with God.
So. You believe God wasn’t talking with and through Neale. Does it matter? If God is All There Is, and we are both part of that, then aren’t I talking to God by talking to you? When that still small voice speaks to you from within, listen carefully, for that is also the voice of God. I don’t care if Neile was or wasn’t talking with God. Who gives a rats? His book answered questions and gave a different twist to some old myths I’d never accepted. He is an excellent messenger and teacher and has opened countless eyes. His books have been translated and published in 26 different languages. Who are we to judge?
For example, in his "New Revelations" it is noted that we are all an integral parts of God.
We are.
This part is called the soul.
Not necessarily. It depends on who you ask. This part is called many things.
Now this makes sense and I can relate to God's energy dwelling within us all.
I’m glad you can relate to the truth.
However, if it is true that God / the creator is in fact who we are, (it is) then God is raping little girls, killing others, stealing from others and doing so to him / her / itself. God Is. Yes. It’s true. God is doing EVERYTHING because that is All There Is. Of course, God is doing EVERYTHING to him/her/itself…for the experience of it without judgement. To figure out who we are, we have to be who we’re not. God is who we are and who we are not because that is All There Is.
Because all the other individuals, would also be part of God himself / herself.
Everyone and everything is part of God.
What kind of God would want to experience such pain, terror and self-destruction?
The kind of God who is interested in learning from experience. One has to know up to know down. Pain is one of the most memorable teachers I’ve had.
Second, the main solution to world problems, and these specific problems are based upon Walsch's values and not the worlds in total, but is for us to have common beliefs.
What do you mean by the worlds in total? We will never have common beliefs and why should we. As long as the truth works for those who believe it then it is the truth, especially if it provides comfort. All roads lead to God no matter what path they follow.
Well, as you know, we are all made differently, with our own genetic code, and therefore we all are made to think differently. This is the way we are made. Therefore, God would know better than to say what Walsch said he said. I don’t agree. God says everything in order to challenge people to think outside the box that modern religion has placed around Who and What He Is.
Other Questions and Notes Regarding The Conversation With God:
Our bodies are not us. (I agree) I agree, too. Our bodies are simply temporary housing for us to experience life as humans this time around. I believe we’ve had other experiences in other “bodies” on other planets at different times.
We will never die. (I agree that our energy / spirit / soul will never die.) Souls never die. Bodies do (of course) but not that part of us that is part of the All That Is, All That Ever Was and All Ways Will Be.
God will never condemn us. (While I hope this is true, it flies in the face of traditional and history of traditional religions. I’m so glad it does fly in the face of traditional historical religion because I believe religion was created by man to control man out of fear. It’s high time we think outside the box and realize God will never condemn us. Why would he condemn us for choices we make when he gives us them in the first place. We condemn ourselves when we make choices that are not for our highest “good” and suffer the consequences (which is how we learn more about Who We Are).
Second, it begs the question as to why God was not up front from the time of creation. God has always (All Ways) been up front. Man, on the otherhand, has not. What “time of creation” are you referring to? Are you limiting that creation to this planet? If so, you are drastically limiting Gods creative abilities.
This begs another question, based upon we are all integral parts of God, as to why God would not be honest with itself.) God IS honest with Itself. It is man who distorts the truth for his own purposes…mainly to forget Who and What We Really Are and then, through experience, to re-member (come back together in the understanding that We Are All One). One is All There Is.
God wants only good for you. (Is it a contradiction to when God via Walsch said that God wants nothing from us?) There is no good or bad. Everything simply Is. God wants nothing from us and requires nothing of us.
Bible in error – Koran is in error all of which are the perceptions of men who felt they represented God and or had his authority to speak on God’s behalf. (If so, then what makes Donald Walsch different?) There is no difference. We all represent God and have authority to speak on His behalf. We are all equal and We Are All One. Some speak more clearly and make their points better but this doesn’t make one messenger better than another. When the student is ready the teacher will appear. The message is geared to the audience.
There is no right or wrong just that which works and does not work. (This seems to be a contradiction in that if something works it must be right and if it does not work it must be wrong. So there is a right or a wrong.) Yes, it seems to be a contradiction but I don’t think it is. If something works it does not make it “right”. Robbing a bank will bring you money…so it “works” if getting money is your goal…but is it “right?”. Right and wrong are perspectives based on experiences. Some believe killing is “wrong” but what about American soldiers in Iraq killing innocent people? Is it “right” for them to kill? There is no right or wrong in Gods eyes.
At this time 1/27/05 I feel that the Conversation with God via Walsch is NOT with God.
Your feelings are your feelings and you are entitled to them. I think old programming via religion has influenced many beyond the point of open mindedness.
However, there is a tremendous amount of information that makes sense. I am grateful for the CWG books because they put many concepts about religion into perspective for me. The presentation of the information contained in the books made sense to me and rang true to my soul.
For me it goes to far to make Joseph Smith equal to Moses and Christ.
We are All One.
Jehovah is a miss translation, but used by God in Walsch’s book. The Bible is full of miss translations. As an example, here’s the actual Lords Prayer for your reference…
THE LORD'S PRAYER (translated directly from the original Aramaic.) Oh cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration! Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide. Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission. Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire. Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish. Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment. For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again.
Just because the Bible is inaccurate doesn’t mean it hasn’t helped millions just as the CWG series has.
To have Hitler in heaven is really pushing the values of mankind. Of course Hitler in heaven pushes the values of mankind…which is exactly the point being made. Mankind has values that are not in alignment with God based on manmade religions. To figure out who we are we have to be who we’re not and Hitler showed us who we’re not very well…so he served his purpose this
time around.
Various world religions have differing perspectives of hell. Again why was God not up front with them or itself? God has All Ways been “up front”. Hell is the experience of a soul being less than and we create that for ourselves while in the body. There is no such thing as “hell” beyond our physical reality. We return to the All That Is from wince we came.
Are we to believe that ONLY Donald Walsch has all the answers because he is the only one with whom God has talked HONESTLY through out the history of man. You might benefit from reading CWG again because no where in the material does anyone claim to be the only one with whom God has talked HONESTLY with though out the history of man. God is All Ways honest and continues to communicate with man on a daily basis. The problem is that man is not All Ways honest with himself or with others and thus has corrupted Gods message through the centuries for his own selfish reasons…and continues to do this to this day.
I do like the following.
I am an angel. We are all angels.
I am one with God We are all One with God.
God is one with me. God is One with Everyone.
From the book “Friendship With God”:
We are all one. Yes We Are.
Ours is not a better way Who wants or needs to judge or compare?
Ours is merrily another way. Just another way of telling the truth.

Help with My Latest Creation Please

Anna — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 04:41:17 GMT

Hi Everyone!

So I was in Washington DC last weekend at Green Festival.
There I met a lady who was excited about my company's product, especially its ability to curb harmful bacteria (E.Coli, etc.).
She then "invited" me to think about incorporating the device into a system that can be used in impoverished villages around the world at their village wells or by the river/stream .

She is working towards/with her vision that everyone in the world is guaranteed of safe drinking water, especially in the developing countries.

Previously my thoughts on mass distribution in developing countries were unfortunately curtailed mainly because of the high price tags on the products. (They cost $2,800 and upwards retail.) I can definitely lower the prices, but I thought that they would still be out of the reaches of many people in the countries that she mentioned (Africa, S. America, India, etc.).

I just spoke with her again this Friday, and she mentioned of a possibility of money "just showing up" from international communities and said that she might even invest in the company if we can make this water-treatment-system workable in those impoverished areas at a reasonable cost.
Basically she wants me to send her a proposal.

I have a rather limited experience in business so far, and so I really have no idea how much I should allow myself to rely on her words.

But then, I've realized that it does not matter how serious her intentions are nor how realistic the goal is in working with her.

If I can come up with a device configuration that can work in villages in developing countries, I can use it myself for my company; Even if working with her did not realize, I can donate them as a way of my company's making a small contribution, as the company grows. (I hope the day will come sooner rather than later of course.)

Sorry about the long background story.
Basically, I created an encounter with someone who made me think about my product making a greater impact in the world. (My approach: it's never too late to claim anything as one's own creation.)

So here is where I need help from you lovely angels, if you can.
I need to somehow put together some configuration of my product and a good filtration system.

My rough idea so far is the placement order of things.
It should be:
Water (either in a well or a "bucket") - ? - foot pedal pump - filter - Dileka (our device) - another bucket.

Some parameters are:
1) We need to assume no electrical input.
2) The main source of power, according to her, should be something manual, like a Foot-Pedal-Pump. Our device works with foot-pedal-pump, because its minimum incoming water pressure is only 10 PSI (Pound per Square Inch). But I'm not too farmiliar with filtration system.
3) The whole system shouldn't be too big (although, filtration system might necessarily take up a lot of space).

Several questions too:
1) What is a village well look like? Has anybody seen one of those? Are its walls protruding above the ground? (I've seen this type in movies in Korea.) How is water pumped up in many cases? Are foot-pedal-pump being used to pump up water? Can it be used for such a purpose?

2) What kind of foot pedal pumps should I get in order to get it work with water? Where can I get them? I've checked Home Depot and Lowe's, but everything seems to have gone electric.

3) Does anybody know of any non-for-profit organization that does this kind of brainstorming?

4) Does anybody know of good filtration (carbon or other) system that is not too big, but can process A LOT of water (since a whole village will be using it)?

I hesitated about posting this message, as I wasn't sure whether this forum was meant for this type of help. But in the end, my trust in you angels won. I hope you join me in celebration of my latest creation, regardless of its outcome.

This is what my product looks like.

Miracle

Anna — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 21:21:33 GMT

Today, there has been a miracle in NY.

The sun came out after 8 straight days of rain.
The blue sky with white patches clouds came out with the sun too.
I was wondering about them for a little while.
I knew that they were just above the vast cloud system that was pouring rain down to Northeast.
But it's always good to meet them in person.

Truly, all things are temporary and temporal.

My reconnection with the sun felt like a miracle.
No apparent reason.
The sun is doing exactly what it's been doing for the longest time: simply being.
That somehow felt like a miracle to me.
Such wonder all around us.

I quietly realize that a miracle is in me.

PS: Love to you all.
I came back to the site to post it, after remembering a passage from Friendship with God that says not to act on an "inspiration" is to deny a thought of God. Another miracle that I created with the universe.
Hey, I think I'm getting a hang of this thing. :)

Angel Baby is doing great!!

Julie — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 19:15:18 GMT

Greetings all....I hope everyone is finding our Tribe a place for inspiration and hope. As I promised a few people that I would keep you all up to date on Angel Baby...we went for our first sonogram yesterday! We saw Angel Baby (our little cashew)...and we saw the flickering of the heartbeat!! My blood tests came back with soaring results. We are six weeks on Friday...and yes, the queeziness has started!! It has been on and off...but in the past four days...more on than off :) I continue to remind myself that I create this experience and I choose not to feel sick or to not eat food. I feel like I can have as much focus and will as I want...this Angel Baby wants to test out my body. Please say a prayer for us, as we need to eat...but my friends....IT'S ALL WORTH IT!!! I will be telling my family tonight via video phone...they are all going to freak out!!! What a blessing!!! Also, my mother-in-law comes to stay with us tomorrow. I will also continue to remind myself of who I am amongst in the face of her stormy dramas....all that matters is that I stay peaceful and true to my soul...that way Angel Baby and I will be at peace.

Sending all of you blessings and peace for your weekend ahead. So glad that I can continue to experience all of you in the posts.

Much Love & Blessings,

Julie & Angel Baby

Irish Dave & the Queen

Bonnie — Sun, 16 Oct 2005 18:04:44 GMT

Has anyone heard from Irish Dave & the Queen? He was so active in the beginning and was also keeping us posted about her health but has been silent for so long that I have become alarmed.

I am sending my love and my prayers for a happy, smooth relationship and the best of health for both of them. Please join me.

I hope we hear from them soon.

Love to you all,

I am one voice...and I am calling!

Ron — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 18:59:38 GMT

Hi everyone, I miss you all!!!!

By now you have probably read of Silvi's impending operation on her neck and the seriousness of her situation. Recapping her options, she can 1) Do nothing and become a paraplegic, or 2) she can have the operation and there is a chance she will be a paraplegic, or be on a respirator, or have a heart attach, etc. etc. Odds are about 5 to 10 per cent. Enough negative, this drama is over!!!!!!

Well, let me tell you about the third option. I know deep within my soul that if we all join together from now until the date of her surgery we can create a miracle of proportions that will leave you all speachless. The effects of such an endeavor will radiate throughout the heavens and touch not only Sylvi, but all of you and all of those you ask to join in this endeavor. A huge wave of healings will flood every corner of this planet. And so, I humbly request your voice to join mine (we are two, three...a million voices) in creating a vision of Sylvi healed and whole, now and forever, without the slightest doubt or hesitation. This is a "moment of truth" for all of us. Please add your voice to mine and let's create a magnificent miracle. We are all members of the same body, and the body part we call Sylvi needs us!

Your good wishes, letters, and love you have sent Sylvi so far are very powerful and affect Sylvi greatly. She (and I) are so blessed to have reconnected with all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and please join me in praising and thanking GOD ceaselessly for this opportunity to create this miraculous event.

With Love, Honor, and Respect

Ron

My birthday!

Rita — Tue, 18 Oct 2005 02:15:55 GMT

Hey everyone!

Since I've officially sent out the invite to my friends in town, I thought I should send an invite to you all, too! (although I've just missed the 14 day booking for flights!)

If any of you are in or near Chicago the last weekend of October, I'm celebrating my first 39th birthday. I'm having a party on Saturday night, the 29th, at my house, and I'm getting folks together at a nearby restaurant for dinner on Monday, the 31st, my actual birthday. If any of you are at all interested in coming, I'd love to have you. I have a pretty comfortable futon!

I can't tell you how honored I am to have met you all and have you all a part of my life. Your light and love buoys me still, and I can't tell you how important that is for me. I've just today signed up for the LEP (the extended play version!), starting in January. Don't know if I'll make Ashland this year, but I'm planning on going someplace wonderful next October!! As you all know, it's quite an investment and commitment of time and energy, but I'm certain it's the next step in my adventure, and how I create the next grandest vision of the greatest version of myself!

This is just one of the many things going on for me since returning from our retreat. Real quickly, because I'm falling asleep in my chair, I want to tell you that "the good Reverend", PASTOR jimichael and I have teamed up and are working on making his television show idea into a reality. He's connected me with folks he's been talking to for a long time about it, and I've consulted people I know who can help with legal issues and fundraising. I'm really leaving my box working on this, but I feel this, too, is the next step in my television career, the one I had given up when I'd walked in the door in Vermont. When I gave it up, when I let go of what it looked like, it showed up. Hmmm. Amazing.

Also, I'm working on a demo recording with a friend of mine, who has been working on this for awhile, but hesitated to ask me because it's not necessarily my style... more rock & roll than jazz and standards, or spiritual music, but hey, I can do anything. I did part of the song in one take! So, he's happy with what I'm doing and has given me a couple more songs to learn. He thinks we may be in the studio early in November. And I'm hoping to get together with another friend to do a demo this weekend to get jazz gigs around town.

That, with additional church stuff in there, and the illnesses of friends, and the White Sox in the World Series, and I'm a busy gal! I tell people that not only did my plate fill up since coming back from vacation, I think the plate got bigger!!

Thanks to you for that. Thanks for giving me back to myself. It's hard to keep hold of that sometimes... that's why I need to stay in touch here. I've always felt lucky that I've created some really amazing friendships that have sustained me thoughout my life, and I feel like I've made about 40 more!!

That's all for now. Take good care, everyone. I hold you all in my heart!
Love,
~Rita

Need more prayers!

Sylvia — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 06:22:24 GMT

Hello everyone,
When I made that decision to write to the tribe I had no idea what would happen the very next day. Today I had an appointment with the spine institute for my neck. The doctor took x-rays and told me that my neck is very bad and if I do not have surgery I will become a paraplegic and eventually die. He said the numbing in my left arm and the trouble I have breathing and the trouble I have seeing from my right eye is an indication that the process has already begun. I don't really have a choice, but after talking with the doctor about the surgery, I am really afraid. He wants to put a rod from the top of my head, down my back so my neck will stop getting worse. The problem is, this is a very serious operation. The doctor said I could "die, have a stroke, or even become a paraplegic from the surgery itself." He told Ron and I that we need to discuss whether or not I want to live on a respirator should things not go well during surgery. He explained that the surgical team might have trouble getting the breathing tube down my throat because my neck is so crooked and I may have to put the tube down while I'm awake. He said my bones are soft and they don't know if the screws will hold once they get them in place.
Before the surgery they put screws in your head and put you in traction for four days. The doctor said the procedure is painful. You have to lay flat in the bed. I don't even sleep in bed for more than a few hours before I move to my lounge chair for the rest of the night. How will I stay in bed that long? I already take so much medication for pain. I don't see how they can give me any more. I'm really scared!
When Ron and I left the doctors office and went into the van, I cried. I don't think I can do this. It was then that I thought about the tribe and your comforting words. I thought of how Julie said I could call her anytime, day or night if I was not feeling well and wanted to chat. Maybe I would call her if I couldn't hold up. I remembered that Marco was sending thoughts of "LOVE and JOY and positive healing energy". I thought of how RJ was keeping me in his heart and how he could see the perfection of who I really was. I remembered that Anna, Bonnie, Rita and faith were praying. I truly don't believe I could have continued through the day without your love and prayers. I reminded myself that there are no coincidences and that God knew what was coming and put it on my heart to write for prayers the day before this overwhelming news came to me. He put the right words in your hearts to help me. I am more than grateful. You are my dear family and I thank you for giving me this soft place to fall.
Please continue to pray for me. I'm so frightened. I'm not ready to die. I remember that Neale told me that he didn't know if I would be healed but if a healing were to happen, I must learn to love my disability before I can be healed. I believe that Rita dream is going to happen and I will be healed, but I think Neale would tell me I must accept this situation and surrender myself to God's will. Am I correct, and if so, how does one do that? Please continue to pray for me. Pray that this fear that grips me will be replaced with God's peace. Pray that I will be healed soon so that I will not need this operation. Thank you, guys. I love you.

The Hunger Site & Others

Bonnie — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 02:16:59 GMT

Hi Gang, I thought it would be nice if we could share sites on the Net that dedicate themselves to helping others, encouraging us to help others and take no time, effort or money from our pockets. These guys really have it figured out. Sites like:

The breast Cancer site which donates free mamograms to women in poverty. It's not only the insured and wealthy that get cancer.

The Child health site which helps provide basic health services for children around the world.

The literacy site which gives books to the needy - big Katrina push going on now

The Rainforest site wowrks to save the rainforests

The Animal Reacue site helps feed rescued animals

All of these sites only take a second to access every day and take one click of the mouse to send your love to tons of people. They all can be reached through:

Thehungersite.com

This is a favorite of mine as it helps feed people all ovoer the world. They are sponsored by Mercy Corp. and other wonderful organizations. A great site to do your holiday shopping on as each purchase feeds more and more plus they sponsor fair trade companies.

Set it up as your home page and it's done for the day.

Does anyone out there have any more sites we can support?

Bonnie from WV

Diane — Wed, 05 Oct 2005 15:18:11 GMT

Hey tribe, I found you. I am computer challenged. Thank you to Elise for helping me. Since home I ordered and just received a CD on Dahn yoga (no centers in this area). Younghe's website is not working. I wonder if she knows. I researched on ways to heal and have discovered Reiki. I am taking a class on NOV4, and 5. I will make it to Reiki 3. This class resonates with my soul. I am sharing with my parents and am surprised at their response.
I am also working with an architect (sp) regarding designs for a horse manure composting bin (healing the world through less use of pesticides.)
Most importantly, I have discovered joy. It is wonderfully nice. I resolve to spread joy. Then I will have more. Want to become addicted to this.
In love
Diane

Work with JR and produce a retreat in your town?

Thu, 29 Sep 2005 00:16:43 GMT

Hello Angels,

Part of The Living Your Purpose Reteat was looking for ways to be of service and creating opportunities to earn more income while being helpful. I have just such an opportunity.

Many of you have been asking about my work and if I might be willing to come to your town. Give me something tough to do! ;-)

I have a 3 day retreat on "Grief Recovery to Emotional Freedom" and I am looking for those special someone's to help in promoting them. The benefits to participants are life changing and its a program that you can be proud to share with anyone.

Do you have a group that would benefit from having this kind of training? All that is required is a minumun of ten people (a maximum of 40), a hotel or room where a "safe space" can be created and I prefer to have participants stay on site if possible but its not manditory. The cost is only $595. for the 3 days. When you organize the retreat you not only attend for free, you receive a ten percent commision. What a gift to be of service!

Interested in attending one first? I will be doing 2 Grief Recovery to Emotional Freedom Retreats here in San Diego. Check out www.griefrecoveryretreats.com for more info.

The tools to recovery and freedom will shift the life experience of anyone who attends and together we can be of service.

Let me know if you would like to play!

Accountability

Share if any blocks are showing up and what you are doing to move through them. Are you making it up the way you want or reliving the old story?

Remember who you really are, powerful creators each and everyone of you.

Choosing to live happy, joyous, and free!

...and the creation continous ;-)

Karl-Peter — Wed, 28 Sep 2005 22:19:50 GMT

Hi Family,

just created a new topic for not knowing under which column to put my news ;-)...I tell you this: Every day I love this creation business a little more!

Ever since I have been back I am on such a high energy level, it´s almost unbearable! There is so much good stuff going on in my life...since everybody shared on it...my business increased on about 100 % !!!

And around the 10th of Oct. I will be flying out to NY to visit my "vibrant butterfly of light" for 1 week...and I will get to attend the first NA-Meeting I ever went to in July 1990 in Manhasset...this is a dream that I have had for 15 years...plus I will go to an NA Convention in NY on the weekend

There have been a few difficult moments...but I observe very quickly when I am starting my little "drama" and then I STOP IT! (thank you Neal ;-) )

I have reevaluated my relationship with my (lady)friend and that feels so good, especially after I realised that there is no need for drama even there.

Last weekend I made more money in three days than I usually made in three month...and on top I had such a wonderful time, so it never felt like work, it was fellowship and fun!

So, I will stop rambling now, but the bottom line is that those 5 days in Vermont changed my life or better I used them to create a lot more concious change and I thank all of you for your love and support. And I am really excited to hear about your latest creations...

Love & strong hugs (you know me ;-) )

Great quotes to inspire us all

What a great reminder. So I decided that is what I will choose to be, do and have today. Look out world...here I come!

Other tribes you can join

Sat, 01 Oct 2005 13:19:24 GMT

Hi angels!

I hope you are enjoying your tribe experience as much as I am having you here!

I wanted to let you know about related tribes that you can join. If you look on the left side of your screen you will see related tribes. There is a CWG tribe, Grief recovery tribe, etc. if you click on an icon it will take you to that tribe. Once there on the right hand side of your screen is a tab that says join this tribe. Just click on that and you are in.

Any trouble just click on my profile and send me a message to invite you to that tribe. There are hundreds of tribes out there so have some fun!

You can also click on any persons profile and ask them to join your friends list. You will then be connected to all of their friends. It really hard to feel alone here!

Thanks for playing with me!

Anybody do web design?

Thu, 29 Sep 2005 14:07:00 GMT

I wanted you all to know how the retreat, this tribe and each of you has affected me. I am so inspired by you all, it has driven me to new heights. Each day since I have been home I have been on fire to give my gift to the world and I wish to deeply thank you all for that.

One of the inspirations was to get a website up, which I did yesterday. I did a lot of reseach and then chose a company which would allow me to create and build my own site, the problem is that the template's they offer and the design programs do not live up to my next grandest vision. It just doesn't look very proffessional. check it out and tell me what you think: www.griefrecoveryretreats.com

SO I am looking for help in creating a web site that will represent the passion I have for this most important work I that I am up to.

Can you help?

Thank you in advance!

JR

Need help with Hugs, Thanks

Bonnie — Sat, 24 Sep 2005 19:59:13 GMT

Hi Gang OK, as quickly as I can, I will tell you of my new plan and ask for your input, assistance and support.

The working title is HUGS, Inc. It will be a 501c3, non-profit (the story of my life;-)) structure. In the beginning we will lean on Gov’t money and grants to get started, then when it is accepted, put a price on it so it can support itself and grow like wild fire.

The plan: I scrapped the idea of an after school day care using CWG as a basis because I thought it was not practical, has too many down sides for not enough progress. My current plan is to develop a program that will bring the “love” into the public, elementary schools thus accomplishing the some goals of the after-school program and getting to the masses more quickly

All schools offer in-service training to all staff every year. It is built into the budget. All I need to do is:
Design and workout the business aspects.
Find a grant writer who will work on a commission basis
Research the psychology of present day education
Research what has been tried in this area before
Design a program that would teach the staff the benefits to be gained by instilling “love” into the classroom like:
Kids wanting to come to school
Feeling that school is a “safe” place
Lowering the stress factor in the classroom
Having the children want to learn by removing the fear
Increased cooperation between children
Increased cooperation from parents
Relaxed, confident children producing better test scores
On and On – no down side to it.
Design a program that will teach staff HOW to bring the love into the classroom
Work up the teaching materials
Design a position for a trainer to remain in the school for a defined period to teach staff how to support each other and to support teachers directly when they are getting started
Find charter schools to initially try this.
Get a lawyer to draw up the necessary parental permission papers
Find a high profile person in psychology or education of both to lend support and credence to the project.

I could go on forever but you get the idea. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know what you think and if you have any ideas as to how this could be accomplished of a better idea all together. I need partners, ideas and solutions to add to mine.

If we catch them while they are young, then we don’t have to worry about them as teens and adults. This can revolutionize the whole culture and achieve critical mass in the shortest amount of time.

Sorry this was so long!
Please help!

Suicide - close to home

Elise — Wed, 21 Sep 2005 17:38:22 GMT

Last night I went with my roommate to check on her sister who has (had) bi-polar disorder like me. One out of five people commit suicide that have this disorder. The police broke into her house and found her. She'd been dead a week and had shot herself in the head. As you all know, I'd tried to kill myself just prior to the Vermont retreat. God was speaking directly to me through this experience. I am so grateful to be alive today and able to offer my help and support to my roommate. JR sent me an e-mail that helped me realize that being a heart with ears is what I can do now. Just thought I'd share what I'm dealing with. Any comments?
Blessings to ALL!

hi Eyse and JR,

thanks for contacting me. it was a great experience. It was nice to hear "just get over it" I have been looking thru the Power of Now and it is helpful. it is best not to project and to watch your emotions and thoughts and pain body from the silent watcher. The God in us, it is hard but I can do it sometimes.. they really are not me.

all the best,
clive
