ROBERT MONROE ULTIMATE JOURNEY ******************** ~oOo~The Power of Mind~oOo~ *************************** Excerpts from A Course in Miracles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your mind is the means by which you determine your own condition, because the mind is the mechanism of decision. You must learn to change your mind about your mind. Only your mind can produce fear. It does so whenever it is conflicted in what it wants, Producing inevitable strain because wanting and doing are discordant. Only the mind can value, and only the mind decides on what it would receive and give. And every gift it offers depends on what it wants. The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. You want to be happy. You want peace. (If) You do not have them now, it is because your mind is totally undisciplined. Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind......... Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible The mind that serves spirit is invulnerable. The mind which serves the spirit is at peace and filled with joy. It’s power comes from spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. Yet mind can also see itself divorced from spirit, and perceive itself within a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then it has no peace and happiness is alien to it’s thoughts. A tranquil mind is not a little gift. Merely rest, alert but with no strain, and let your mind in quietness be be changed so that the world is freed, along with you. The mind which means that all it wants is peace must join with other minds, for that is how peace is obtained. And when the wish for peace is genuine, the means for finding it is given, in a form each mind that seeks for it in honesty can understand. Alone we can do nothing but together our minds fuse into something whose power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. ********************************* *THE DOOR OF EVERYTHING* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by Ruby Nelson Many ask, "What can I do?" "How do I find peace within?" This online booklet answered these questions for me and gave me a Key to the Door of Everything for indeed, we are "The Door". "He leadeth me beside the Still Waters. He restoreth my soul" ****************************************** (\o/) ~oOo~ PRETEND ~oOo~ ******* Pretend! You're a fish in a sea of love. Pretend! You're a hand that fits in a glove. Pretend!

The Dalai Lama has one rule "Be Kind". If we "Be Kind" to ourselves and to others it makes the journey easy. Lately, the words of an Eagle's song comes to mind often. "Take it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy". Time spent, just being quiet, preferably in the outdoors has it's rewards. If we are too busy sometimes we have to make time for ourselves. In that quiet place within is comfort and solace. "He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul." In this quiet place within, the chatter of the false ego lessens and one easily finds peace and joy. ************************************ ~oOo~ ^i^ ~oOo~ *The LOVE of GOD, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way that light rushes into a transparent object. The more LOVE that it finds, the more it gives itSelf; so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of heaven is. And the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their LOVE, and mirror-like, each soul reflects the other.* --Dante (poet supreme) ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Relationships As Mirrors ******************* Excerpt from "Re-member, A Handbook for Human Evolution" by Steve Rother and The Group (feel free to share this providing credit is given to the Book and the author.) "The basis of relationships on the Gameboard is to mirror your own magnificence and re-mind you of the part of God within you. Some relationships have held difficult lessons for you. This is as it should be , for to see the God within you, your own energy must be centered as it is only visible through eyes free of judgement. There are times that you call mirrors into your lives that reflect parts of you that you do not like. Use these mirrors to openly see the reflection they offer. As you begin to shift the reflection within the mirror you will also observe the mirror shifting as well. You have been told that you cannot change another person. We tell you that in in this fashion it is possible to change another by changing the way you react to them. Once the sight is gained into oneself and the lesson is realized, a new relationship will emerge. It is now a new person being reflected in the mirror. For some, this will mark the end of a relationship. Some relationships will make the transition and move to the next level. There is no judgement one way or another as to which is best. The only thing we wish to point out is that in most cases you have spent a great deal of energy placing this mirror in your field. Do not remove it before you have seen the reflection as that will only cause you to seek another mirror of similar aspect to gaze upon. Here we ask you to use discernment in making these choices. We also re- mind you that it is not just the person being reflected who must change. Once a change is effected in one party, the mirror must also be willing to hold the new reflection. A mirror unwilling to cast a new reflection is forever stuck in a limited relationship. We will tell you that the mirrors that welcome the opportunity to change their reflection are the most likely to shift to the higher levels. This often requires forgiveness and understanding. This illustrates the use of unconditional love and the Unity aspect of relationships in the new energy."

One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you." "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?" "I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said. The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path." Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house." ==<==<=(@) (\o/) *WHEN A PICKPOCKET MEETS A SAINT HE SEES ONLY HIS POCKETS* --- An old Buddhist saying. *WHEN A SAINT MEETS A PICKPOCKET HE SEES ONLY A SAINT* --David ~oOo~ ***************************** ~*~ FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND ~*~ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints. Other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, You promised me, Lord, That if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life There have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, When I have needed you most, You have not been there for me? The Lord replied, The times when you have seen only one set of footprints is when I carried you."

This cure was discovered by a Doctor when he was imprisoned in Iran and the only thing he had was water. He discovered that dehydration was the cause of many diseases such as arthritis, ulcers, ashtma, diabetes, and many more. The method is highly successful in treating addiction withdrawl and depression and weight loss is a common occurrence. There are testimonials of the water cure being used with cancer.
