Greetings!

Wow! Another new issue! Where did the time go?

I seem to sound like a broken record...but it bears repeating. We are going through a time of dramatic change: difficult navigations, many choices, separations and reconnections, a chance for deep soul connections and deeper insights into self, the move into Oneness from separateness if we allow it. Are you taking time in your life to ponder these deep questions? And then to go beyond pondering and apply them to your life? We also have the opportunity to affect what is going on in our world by participating in groups that work/meditate/pray for world healing. Go inside and find out where you best fit in. If we don't do it, who will?

This issue has some wonderful pictures of a pink dolphin, angel in the sky, crop circle and a tiger and her unusual cubs; a couple of good articles by William Bloom and Robert Rabbin; a link to the wave of love presentation (don't miss this stunning video); an invitation to join the new yahoo group "Dancing with the angels of the sea", and more!

I am particularly excited about a new class being presented by myself and George Tsukuda on "Quantum Emotion™---the Missing Link to Accelerated Manifesting" in San Jose in October. It is going to be daring and ahead of its time in its subject matter. We hope that it will be a class in which you will find a resonance.

Until November, keep well!

with love and blessings,

Does Everyone Really Create Their Own Reality?

by William Bloom

Over the years it has been an honor for me to advance and defend new age and holistic spirituality. I love its open-mindedness, its embrace of metaphysics and the way it combines spiritual work with healthcare. But I have also despaired at times about its apparent lack of morality and compassion when faced with the realities of people's suffering.

This coldness is often explained away with half-baked ideas about how energies, karma and the laws of attraction work. This often reach a peak of disturbing smugness when a new age 'philosopher' faced with cruel suffering says authoritatively: 'People create their own reality' or  'Their soul chose it - its their karma' or 'Everything is perfect in God's Plan - you just need to perceive it differently'. People who say such things seem to have no idea how smug and nasty they sound. Nor of the hurt they cause.
 
Fourteen years ago I had a lower back crisis in which three disks herniated and a tendon tore. The pain was as high on the scale as it can go. I was bed-ridden, then on sticks and it took seven years to recover. Early on, as I hobbled awkwardly on sticks, a new age woman came up to me, poked her face in mine and loudly stated, 'You know what Louise Hay says about lower back crises, don't you!' She was typical of many.

A friend recently had a severe heart crisis, was suddenly taken to hospital and told that his life was at risk.  He told me that what really frightened him was the thought of informing his spiritual friends, because they would use it as an opportunity to be self-righteous and tell him what he was getting wrong in his life.

Of course in both my and his case there were good lessons to be learned, but our life or mobility were threatened and we deserved compassionate friendliness. Isn't spiritual development about increasing compassion and love? It does not help to have someone chiming, 'You asked for it. Told you so.' Even if we did create those illnesses, kindness and support are needed so that we can begin to understand the process..

These minor examples of personal distress are nothing compared to the more dramatic tragedies being endured on the world stage. What follows is recent testimony from a woman at the centre of the Darfur crisis (New Internationalist, June 2007):

'My baby boy was thrown on the fire in front of me. My daughter was older. They thought she was a boy so they slaughtered her too - they snapped her neck like a chicken. Some of the children they threw down a well …. After they raped the women they cut off their breasts to make them suffer. They used those of us who were left as donkeys.'

Her experience is not unique. Recently too there has been the incident of the little girl kidnapped in Portugal, the tip of an iceberg of the sexual abuse faced by hundreds of thousands of children every day, not to mention the thirty thousand children who daily die of starvation.

In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. Anne Frank.

Surely all this suffering can only be approached with stillness, humility and wisdom of the heart. Not with half-baked metaphysics and denial. It is pure ignorance, shameful and cold-hearted emotional cruelty to suggest that these women and children asked for this destiny, deserved it, chose it or created their own reality.  It completely misunderstands karma and the laws of attraction.

There is a frequent error of assuming that souls have complete control and choice over their incarnations. New souls entering for the first time, for example, may simply be drawn to where there is a newly conceived fetus. They may have no choice but to participate in the collective rhythm and cycle. There are more dynamics in incarnation than simple choice.

Equally we do not create our lives in isolation. We pass through collective historical and karmic events over which we may have little individual power. We are participants as souls and as biological creatures in a constellation of relationships that includes our species, our gender, our family, our ancestors, our ethnicity and faith. Our parents and children, for example, are within us, as we are also within them.  We are not just individual souls creating our own individual lives and futures. We are also subjects of the group soul and our histories and futures are entwined. As a species we have created a shared karma of suffering, and it is as a collective that we experience, redeem and heal it. The collective affects even the most forceful individual.

The redemption of all this lies in the fact that each of us has the freedom and power to adopt our own inner attitude regardless of circumstances.  I am inspired, for example, by the Catholic priests who chose the way of self-sacrifice and walked with their Jewish parishioners into the Nazi gas chambers.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke

It is also completely banal and naïve to suggest that everything in God's world is good and that it is all a matter of perception.  Faced with the reality of a three-year old child being sexually abused, it is simply not possible to make such a statement and be moral. It is in facing reality, not denying it, being in our hearts, that we grow and become wiser.

At the same time I fully appreciate how difficult it is to be fully present to suffering. For some people it is overwhelming because it triggers their own pain. But sooner or later on the spiritual path we have to develop the courage and strength to stay stable and loving when faced with these horrors.  In the words of Carl Jung: One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

All my love

William

Gratitude

by Robert Rabbin

During a workshop this past Sunday in Sydney, a participant asked me to speak about strategies for remaining aware of our inner essence and of our loving connection to others and Life itself.

I forgot to mention “gratitude,” which has an immense power to alter our consciousness and reshape our world instantly.

In their book, Seasons of Grace, Alan Jones and John O'Neil write: “Gratitude — as conviction, practice, and discipline — is an essential nutrient, a kind of spiritual amino acid for human growth, joy, and creativity. Take away the daily experience and expression of gratitude, and life is quickly diminished. Like a weakened immune system, the spirit is left vulnerable to the diseases of cynicism, anger, low-grade depression, or at least an edgy sense of dissatisfaction. Gratitude-deprived, we suffer a relentless loss of vitality and delight. Every occasion for gratefulness is in some way a recognition that we belong to the world and to our fellow beings, that we exist in the community. Practicing gratitude can restore us to our rightful place in the world.”

In order to sincerely express gratitude, we have to stop everything we are thinking and doing and come fully into presence; we have to make deep contact with our own heart and connection with another. From this still place of open-heartedness and connection, authentic gratitude flows into the world as healing light.

There once was a monastery that was very strict. Following a vow of silence, no one was allowed to speak at all. But there was one exception to this rule. Every ten years, the monks were permitted to speak just two words. After spending his first ten years at the monastery, one monk went to the head monk. "It has been ten years," said the head monk. "What are the two words you would like to speak?"

"Bed... hard..." said the monk.

"I see," replied the head monk.

Ten years later, the monk returned to the head monk's office. "It has been ten more years," said the head monk. "What are the two words you would like to speak?"

“Food... stinks...” said the monk.

“I see,” replied the head monk.

Yet another ten years passed and the monk once again met with the head monk who asked, "What are your two words now, after these ten years?"

“I... quit!” said the monk.

“Well, I can see why," replied the head monk. "All you ever do is complain.”

Gratitude is an attitude of mind, suffused with heart-stuff. Gratitude is a choice to look at life, to look at the things of life, the people, the circumstances, the surroundings, and look to see the beauty, the light, the point at which you and it are one. Then the looking itself dissolves into gratitude, which becomes wonderment and amazement at how incredibly precious and gorgeous life is.
