Greetings!
So many exciting new ventures are bringing themselves forward onto my front burners right now. Some are new incarnations of previous ventures, others have a newer ring to them.
Spirit has directed us to bring back the shamanic style healing methods for world healing that were in effect a couple of years ago. We had had some wonderful results, but didn't keep up the consistency of meeting. They renamed the groups, "pods", after the family groups of dolphins. If there is an interest in starting one in your area, please contact me. We hope to link the various pod groups together and really make a difference in healing the planet.
I have also started a mentor program. Space is very limited. If this sounds intriguing to you, contact me.
There is also a new class on getting your boundaries---"Help! I Need Boundaries". No matter what your level of consciousness is, sometimes we need extra help or a review of key points. Here is the link "Help! I Need Boundaries" class in San Jose, CA Aug 12 '07
No new article from me this newsletter, as I have been launching all the new stuff and couldn't take the time. But there is another great one from Robert Rabbin, an wonderful cat named Oscar, a lesson in perspective which is amazing, and miscellaneous interesting tidbits.
Enjoy your summer, Upper Hemisphere!
with love and blessings,

Earning and Spending Soul
Robert Rabbin
Many of my lectures and workshops revolve like planets in tight orbit around a
central theme: how do we express and demonstrate our spiritual understanding?
What do awareness, consciousness, and realization look like when those words
take shape and move into the world within a body of values, choices,
commitments, and actions?
This area of inquiry is what I term engaged spirituality. But even as I write
that phrase, I realize that authentic spirituality does not require the
qualifying adjective “engaged”—it is repetitive. Authentic spirituality is
automatically engaged: insight and action are as inseparable as flower and
fragrance. The only way to impede the natural movement of insight toward
corresponding action is if one builds delusional dams of such naďve notions as
there is no self, the world is not real, and nothing matters, everything is
pure consciousness.
Just as we work to refine our inner sight, we must work to clarify our outer
actions, so that they accurately and appropriately reflect our deepening
insight and wisdom. This inside/outside work is what I call spiritual
activism, and it implies a high degree of personal responsibility and honesty
about our values and our choices. Spiritual activism refers to all the ways in
which we actualize—make real through action—our spiritual understanding. I’ve
encountered considerable resistance to this notion of insight and action being
one and the same within spiritual communities. People don’t always want to
look at the relationship between what they say and what they do. There is a
lot of unconsciousness in this area. There is a lot of hypocrisy. Awareness
and action are one thing, and we must speak of them as one thing. We must hold
each other accountable to this truth, and to whether there is the same truth
in our actions as in our words. In this regard, I cannot do better than to
quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, "What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear
what you say."
Money is perhaps the biggest blind spot when it comes to awareness of, and
responsibility for, our actions as expressions of our spiritual insight.
MONEY. The word alone is enough to take your breath away, isn’t it? Until we
look at our relationship with money square in the eye, until we wash each
penny earned and each one spent with our full awareness and conscious choice,
our spiritual light will be dim, our spiritual power will be weak, our
spiritual heart will be closed.
In our culture, money stands proudly on the same podium with religion,
politics, and sex as hot buttons of reactivity. Money is wired to a lot of
emotional and psychological buttons. Money triggers life and death issues for
us, since it is connected to our physical survival and well-being. Money
triggers egoistic issues, since it is connected to status and privilege. Money
triggers entitlement and abuse issues, since it is connected to power and
authority. Money triggers self-esteem issues, since it is connected to an
individual’s worth. Money triggers so many things, doesn’t it, and I wonder
how many we are aware of? How many issues around money do we look squarely in
the eye, and then do the same deep work we do as when we are trying to find
our way to the soul?
Our beliefs—conscious or unconscious—about money will determine whether or not
our life choices and actions are a real and true expression of our inner
understanding. How we earn and spend our money may be the surest compass with
which to locate the North Star of our spiritual journey to Oneness, and to
wisdom, love, and compassion.
As spiritual beings, we say we are generous, but are we? We say we are
compassionate, but are we? We say we are selfless and concerned for others,
but are we? We say we care about the environment, about fair trade and
socially responsible business practices, about social justice—but do we? I
think that how we earn and spend money tells us the truth, and it may be a
truth we’d rather not see. I wonder what we might learn about a person if we
were to simply watch how they earned and spent money for one month, without
being able to hear anything they said to justify or obscure their tendencies.
My spiritual teacher, for whom I worked as a manager of his international
educational foundation, was forever telling us that money was the shakti, the
spiritual energy, of the world. For him, awareness of Self and awareness of a
dollar were not different. His respect, care, and consideration for money—not
the concept, not the abstraction, but each and every penny—were absolute. You
could watch him make money choices and know the true state of his heart,
motives, values, and character.
It’s easy to see how our money choices fertilize our attitudes and nourish our
habits. It’s also easy to see how our money choices enable and empower social
institutions. Every time we spend money, we are saying yes to a galaxy of
cultural values, assumptions, and structures: from the exorbitant salaries of
CEOs to the quality of education to the availability of affordable health
care.
Money is an expression of our attention and intention; thus, what we do with
our money demonstrates the quality of our attention and the clarity of our
intention. How closely aligned are our money choices with our most important
values and our aspirations and hopes for ourselves, others, and for the world
in which we live? Our money choices are a form of worship, and our money
choices show us what we honor, respect, and love.
When you attend a lecture or event with a “by donation” entry fee, what goes
through your mind? How much, or how little do you donate, and why? Do you go
through the same process when you fork over nine dollars for a movie, and
another nine for popcorn and a soda? What is behind your complaints, fears,
and withholds around money? Do you believe in abundance, or scarcity? Do you
believe you’re a better person driving a BMW than an old Honda? Do you feel
that you “own” people to whom you pay money? Do you get mad at poor people? At
rich people? Do the tides of your self-worth and self-confidence rise and fall
according to your cash reserves? What dreams of passionate self-expression
have you betrayed for financial security? How much money is enough? How much
is not enough? Can you look a street person in the eye as you pass by? What
does the money you have serve and support, other than your own personal needs?
It’s a good idea to find out if your money choices speak for your truth and
stand for your heart in this world. Looking into all of this is hard work, I
promise you. It’s a lot easier to blow the whole thing off, but in so doing,
you would also blow off your soul and the possibility of living a truly
meaningful, noble, and majestic life.
I urge everyone to begin looking at his or her relationship to money squarely
in the eye. Work with some of the questions I’ve posed in this article, or
come up with some of your own. Ask your teachers to tell the truth about their
relationship to money, if they can. Don’t cut any corners on this inquiry. By
all means, sit like granite or glacier through a hundred years of silent
meditation, but spend as long seeing into the buying and selling of soul.
Become aware of the countless effects your pennies and dollars have, in your
name.
Money is a sacred emblem of our heart, and our money choices are as true an
indication of our spiritual character as can ever exist.

Oscar the Cat Predicts Patients' Deaths
By RAY HENRY, Associated Press Writer
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.
"He doesn't make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die," said Dr. David Dosa in an interview. He describes the phenomenon in a poignant essay in Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Many family members take some solace from it. They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one," said Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.
The 2-year-old feline was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The facility treats people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and other illnesses.
After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. He'd sniff and observe patients, then sit beside people who would wind up dying in a few hours.
Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously and is generally aloof. "This is not a cat that's friendly to people," he said.
Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work there, said Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill
She was convinced of Oscar's talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasn't eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish tinge, signs that often mean death is near.
Oscar wouldn't stay inside the room though, so Teno thought his streak was broken. Instead, it turned out the doctor's prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patient's final two hours, nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.
Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill they probably don't know he's there, so patients aren't aware he's a harbinger of death. Most families are grateful for the advanced warning, although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died. When Oscar is put outside, he paces and meows his displeasure.
No one's certain if Oscar's behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat notices telltale scents or reads something into the behavior of the nurses who raised him.
Nicholas Dodman, who directs an animal behavioral clinic at the Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and has read Dosa's article, said the only way to know is to carefully document how Oscar divides his time between the living and dying.
If Oscar really is a furry grim reaper, it's also possible his behavior could be driven by self-centered pleasures like a heated blanket placed on a dying person, Dodman said.
Nursing home staffers aren't concerned with explaining Oscar, so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying.
Oscar recently received a wall plaque publicly commending his "compassionate hospice care."

"I plugged your Cosmic Chakras book on Doreen Virtue's Angeltherapy website
as the most comprehensive ever...."~~~Kala; Los Gatos, CA "Thanks for the great session the other night". ~~~Kerryn;
Vancouver, Canada "I started reading at your site at around 11:00pm. I was still at it at
6:00am this morning. I looked over everything! I was so impressed and
resonated with everything. And I knew immediately that you were well versed in
the field."--CarolAnn; San Jose, CA
"Alijandra and I have briefly and from a
physical distance almost touched lives from time to time over the years.
When I was teaching a workshop called the
Sound of Healing I used Alijandra's book as a guide for the students. I
still use the book in some classes for medical intuition classes. So there
is a connection in the physical. On occasion when Alijandra has been in OZ
we've 'almost' met. So I feel extra beauty by seeing her name connected to
Shirley whom I also know to be a truly beautiful soul."~~~Gaele Arnott;
