Excerpt from Story of A Clam

Rebekah Alezander Dunlap and John M. Templeton

I CELEBRATE DAILY the joy in my life!  Open your eyes in the morning with the expectation of a joyous day ahead of you.  Allow the magnificence and beauty of life's blessings to fill your heart to overflowing.  The joy in your heart is to be used abundantly for the lifting up of yourself and all with whom you come in contact.  Joy is a great healing energy.

Overflow with good will.

It was most helpful for me to recognize that the ego that insists upon having its own way can be a destructive ego.  The soul becomes ready, not by grandiose expressions or by waiting for something to happen, but by diligent effort and increasing humility.  Learning self-control is a key to gaining mastery over our lives.

What's This Fool Thinking About This Week?  by Dannion Brinkley 

You Cannot Drug a Child to Safety -- Please give to this years campaign so that we can continue to help our veterans!

 I do believe that the unspeakable tragedy  of September 11^th  along with the   media hype it has received, i.e., America At War and The Next War, are successfully creating within our society an underlying emotional climate of mass panic and unrecoverable fear.  I realize we cannot change the way in which the continuous broadcasts of the media giants is slanted, in order to program the American public.  However, it is my hope that we can counter this mighty influence by creating programming to offer a healing and calming balance.  For years, I have talked about the future of healthcare as it was envisioned.  We must intervene now.  By addressing the healing of America, as a direct response to the happenings and aftermath of September 11^th, we have a powerful opportunity to create the necessary balance needed as well as chance to fulfill our long held dream of revamping healthcare.

Here is what I think we can achieve:

1)     Because I am Dannion Brinkley, Hospice Volunteer, co-founder of Compassion In Action, three near-death survivor and veteran, I bring to the table ever personal experience necessary to step forward as a leading expert on these issues.  My life itself qualifies me to speak authoritatively in regard to grief and trauma recovery, and most of all, bereavement.

2)      I believe that we can offer guidance and direction to those millions of Americans who wish to make a difference in the world but have no earthly idea as where to begin.  One of my greatest fears stemming from this horrific event is that we shall create another war-torn and post-war  generation addicted to drugs,  The1950’s and 1960’s spawned a generation of souls searching to find ways to cope with and /or hide from the life-altering side-effects of WW II, (the bomb) Korea and Viet Nam.  They found little guidance and support in this regard and as a result, today we have a generation living at the mercy of prescription drugs.  For those seeking to be of service and be proactive, we could act as a clearing house of information and encouragement.  We can offer the direction they need.  We can guide them to ways in which their lives and talents can make a difference in the world rather than letting them be lulled into complacency by unconscious fear or addiction to drugs.

3) Most importantly, I would like to create a responsible platform upon which we present both the conventional and complementary medical modalities available to assist anyone and everyone in this hour of need.  By showcasing the best and brightest professionals in each field of expertise, I believe we can generate debate and discussion of the most urgent issues facing America, and thereby create a meaningful balance between the two worlds of traditional and alternative healing.  I truly believe we can make a difference. We must begin to heal the fear. 

With Purpose

 Dannion Brinkley

I ask that you support Compassion In Action and it's volunteers!!

Transforming Tragedy Into Opportunity

By, Carrie Shubert

              Although the events that took place on September 11^th were horrific, there is a hidden opportunity for all of us.  When tragedy occurs, most people let their walls down and are willing to be vulnerable.  In New York, and all over the world, people have all come together.  Love and assistance have become a priority.

In the weeks prior to the September 11^th attack, I observed the insanity that was taking place.  People seemed more agitated.  Several multiple family murders took place. The stock market continued to decline. What does that tell you?

Our priorities have gotten screwy.  We think our power is outside of ourselves; in the home we own, the car we drive.  Employees are rewarded for working seven days a week, causing them to choose between keeping their job, and spending a weekend at home with loved ones.  Of course the divorce rate is high and kids turn to each other for guidance.  No one is home!

Your power comes from within you.  It’s the connection of your soul to God and all beings.  This can be an opportunity to reassess your values.  Make your purpose here, to reach out to another being and be of service on a daily basis.  Consider a gesture as simple as opening a door for someone, or smiling to a passerby.

            I lost my home and office in the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake. The force of the quake knocked down the slump walls between each home, exposing the residents. We were forced to speak to each other.  As soon as the insurance companies paid the repair claims, the walls were the first to go back up!

            Keep your walls down.  Live by values and standards that serve you and humanity.  Email:  Carrie

Notes and Thoughts By W. G. Black Ph.D. - Founder and Director of Gakati'yi

Sad Sequel to "SS"
 

The previous column to this one was entitiled "SS." It was written before September 11. I did not have 'conscious foreknowledge' of the events that were to transpire in New York and Washington. Did some part of me 'know something?' I had heard and read for many years various predicted forms of the scenarios that were enacted "before our very eyes." I can't remember how long ago I first knew of the Nostradamus quatrains which spoke of York and the "twins." I do recall clearly that I read a document in 1989 which described a series of planned threats on the United States' land itself which would be designed to manipulate the people of America into 'begging for marshall law' and to relinquish the Constitution and give up personal freedom and responsibility. Well, someone was writing on target at least twelve years ago. Here we go again, and...there will be more, "they say."  In duality consciousness the response to calculated fear generators is...greater love! The response to super insanity is...super sanity! The worst in us can stimulate and bring forth the best in us. Dr. Jean Houston, who has lived in upper Manhattan a long time now, has said, "We learn the most from our worst mistakes," but why do we create such tough classrooms and such challenging courses?

Shakti Gawain is known for saying that "My life did not turn around until I had gone through and completely transformed my last five minutes of fear." If we apply her experience to our planet, to our nation and to our systems of living (dying?), it can give support to us in transforming and healing our wounds. Jesus said it so simply: "Resist not evil, but overcome evil with good." I have made my own translation for my own use. It goes like this set of statements. "What we focus on expands. When we focus on fear and destruction, we expand fear and destruction. Fear loves to be resisted, like the legendary tar baby holds its victims hostage. Resistance intensifies the bondage. When we focus on love and peace, they also expand, as does the freedom inherent and innate within them. We have choices when confronted with our fears or the fears of others. We can focus on them and expand them, or we can choose love and peace instead, and expand them. Fear is temporary and is envious of the immortality of love. Fear is desperate to perpetuate itself..., and historically it has seemed to succeed 'endless times,' but, alas, in the end, 'No!'" A Course in Miracles begins with these statements: "Nothing real can ever be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. [Fear is UNREAL.] Herein lies the the peace of God."

Another concept from the Course which helps me to process such enormous wounding and tragedy is the idea that there are only two forms of human behavior: expressions of love and requests for love. Terrorist attacks are a request for love? No way! You say. This concept was very challenging for me years ago when I first encountered it with my 'usual Earth programming from the world of fear.' If it seems too far out at first, I ask that you meditate upon it as the days come and go...see if it does not bring great awarenesses with use. The 'oil barons' of our planet are in quite a dilemma, and they are asking, however veiled or 'upside down' the request is, for love. We can say that they are avoiding asking directly...that would be humiliating to egos wrapped in defenses of pride and other mischief. But, they are asking, from this approach to the problem, through events such as the destruction of the Rainforest, the Murrah building in Oklahoma City, the bombing of the World Trade Center earlier, and these recent macabre enactments from the "etheric blueprints of violence," which wounded New York and Washington.

Jesus also said, "The Light shined in the Darkness, and the Darkness comprehended it not." Assuming that I, and you, as a most appreciated reader, are of the Light, I say that the Darkness is, as usual, trying to fool the Light, and it is our responsibility to comprehend it fully and be and do appropriately in response! Let us see through the veils and the deceptions and focus on Love, Truth and Transformation. Let us help everyone rise higher than returning an attack for an attack, attempting to correct destruction with greater destruction. Let us demonstrate that blame, judgment, legalism and pettiness are problems and not solutions. Paul said in I Corinthians 13 that "Love is not possessive." Is oil possessed by a few humans who are terrified of 'losing it,' or, does oil belong to the Creator and Everyone? How much time and pure oxygen do we have left before we resolve these issues? Do you think that oil barons are fueled by Love?  It appears that rather they are asking for it...in some of the strangest ways.  "The Dark is that part of the Creation which CAN receive the Light."  The part of you that is the Light will be tempted in the days to come with some of the most glittering, glamorized and appealing seductions for destroying evil with greater evil. Know that every loving thought and every loving deed of yours and everyone who responds to all of this tragedy with love, makes a difference, and that helps to 'tip the scales' toward love as stronger than fear. For all we know, and all we don't know, your contribution may be the one that makes THE difference. Go ahead and make your contribution, however small or large it may seem to be. Focus on love and world peace.

"No greater love hath anyone than this: that he/she transforms his/her own fears, showing others the way to enlightenment."  "The most beautiful place on Earth is the spot where an ancient hatred is transformed into love."

Warrior Work Week 3

Principle 3: Become acquainted with every art.

 In week 2 we looked at the importance of training and how through training we become what we repeatedly do. What are you becoming?

What are you creating within you? Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, says that progress comes to those who train and train, relying on secret techniques will get you nowhere.”

In becoming acquainted with all arts, one begins to see the underlying patterns of hard and soft, direct and indirect. Learning to look beyond the form to the underlying energies helps to clear the mind and sharpen the senses. Even more important is to see the intent of the person teaching the art and the intent or goals of the art itself. All good arts are designed to help you build your knowledge power and inner harmony if you are moving from a loving intent. Every art can also in turn break you down and beat you up if your intent is not clear. In movement there are only inward circles, outward circles and straight lines and yet the interweaving and combinations of those are endless. Our mind directs our energy through those movements to create the myriad of arts based on intent and the worlds they evolved in.

This week expose yourself to some new arts through books, videos, literature, music or stop in and take some introductory classes in minimum 2-3 different yoga schools, 2-3 different martial arts schools or in 2-3 different dance studios. Spread it out throughout the month. Make it a point to ask what the goals of the art and/or the school is. Meet with the teachers and see/listen to how you “feel” about them. Don’t make any commitments in any school for more than 6 months and then reevaluate your goals and your path. Be sure to ask about extra fees for equipment, seminars etc. that may not be upfront in the initial signups. Share your experiences and questions online through chat groups or with other students. Use the g.e.t.i.t. paradigm to look at the big and little picture as you move through it and use it all to nurture and empower yourself and in turn be more capable of serving those you love.

After the September 11th attack,  Eagle Soaring and Judy stopped in to share a few days of prayer and fellowship with us.  We discussed ways that we could better share our message, that we are all connected, we are of one planet.  We the people have the ability to heal or destroy Mother Earth.

Healthful Hints

By Donna McGrath, M.T. (ASCP), M.S., C.H.T., D.D.

Who Are We as a Nation ?

 I would like to extend my deepest empathy to the families and friends of the victims of the tragedies which occurred in New York, Washington, D.C, and near Pittsburg, Pa. On Sept 11^th.

I can empathize because, in 1994, I experienced several of my own personal tragedies.....    the sudden death of my 5-year-old cousin, the brutal rape and stabbing death of my favorite aunt, the death of my uncle, the loss of my job, a broken ankle, the dissolution of my marriage. Most of these events happened within a six-month period in my life…shattering many of my personal concepts of Love and illusionary structures within my life 

I have since learned that what occurred was a total breakdown of manmade structures, which were not working in direct alignment with Unconditional Love and God in my life. I now see these experiences as divine blessings…learning experiences, which helped me to overcome the fear of death and dying, which prepared me regarding Eternal Life. Indeed, the soul does not die.

Not unlike my dear friend, Dannion Brinkley, I too have foreseen and prophecized many horrific catastrophic events….the Blizzard of 1996, Hurricane Floyd, the Declining of the Stock Market, spiraling gasoline prices, the falling of the buildings of New York City, Washington, DC, a tidal wave off the east coast, a coming global war, three days of darkness which casts darkness upon the face of the earth. These visions have been all correct thus far.

In my Light experience I was told that these cleansing events  have a probability of happening because all structures based on Man’s ego, money, control, power, domination, aggression, greed, war, killing, hate, anger, doubt, avarice and worry must be replaced within and around us to exude the characteristics of Unconditional Love.

But many of us have difficulty understanding what true Unconditional Love is. In my experience I was told by The Light of The Direct and Undeniable Source of All that Is that Unconditional Love is Freedom, Peace, Hope, Faith, Trust, Truth, Humility, Caring, Compassion, and most of all...Unity.

These are not to be romantic, flowery words to be thought of only in desperate times of disaster or need. Not only to be sought in prayer and desperation or to be heard and discarded once a week in a church service.

 Unconditional Love is a Verb. Love in Action, Freedom in Action, Peace in Action, Hope in Action, Faith in Action, Trust in Action, Truth in Action, Humility in Action, Compassion in Action, and Unity In Action.

I acknowledge and love the Unity that I have seen as a result of this disaster…firefighters, volunteer workers, and those from all walks of life who have joined together to help the victims of this disaster in many small and large ways. News commentators, heads of corporations. government officials have openly cried on television. This is the opening of The Heart of Unconditional Love on this Planet. The breakdown of the male patriarchal structure by that of a powerful feminine matrix of Unconditional Love.

It is my highest Hope that we can continue this Unity in Love Principle in Our Reaction to this disaster as a Nation, a nation which was founded by God Loving Men…spiritual men who created this nation as ONE NATION UNDER GOD. ONE NATION UNDER UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

  Humility In Action

 The Highest Action in my view is to react in Peace and humility in action. My suggestion is to Bow our Heads in Humility and to Actually Apologize to the world for the destruction and loss of hundreds of thousands of lives throughout the aggressive actions instigated by this country for the last 200 years. Actually swallowing our Ego and pride would show a Humility which Has Never before been demonstrated by this Nation as a Whole. Think about it. The world leaders and even the terrorists would be…Stunned.

What would happen then???? Perhaps the whole situation would be diffused. Perhaps Nothing would occur. Perhaps the world would be stunned by Love instead of guns. Perhaps Peace would occur. This Tactic HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED in the history of this country.

Don’t you think it might be time to try a new, creative solution for peace?

Which one of you would like to be at ground zero in Afghanistan right now? Put yourselves in the other man’s shoes and try them on for size. Would you like to personally feel the results of our Nation’s aggressive actions??? Think about this. Meditate on it. Feel it in your hearts.

 Hundreds of thousands have died and felt the aggressive actions of this country. In the Gulf War, in Hirosima, Vietnam, the Middle East, Bosnia….must I go on? Do we really go on fighting back in violence like 5-year-olds in the backyard for the rest of existence?

Would another attack would occur if we do apologize??? If so, then I feel we would be justified and unified to retaliate…with the rest of the world behind us. They would look up to an America who has offered Compassion, Humility and Love as a first solution for this problem.

Lastly, I believe this tragedy is an opportunity for us a nation to demonstrate Unconditional Love in Action. It is an opportunity for us to offer peace instead of destruction. It is an opportunity to Open our Hearts and to Demonstrate Who we Really Are as a Nation.

It is my Highest hope and dream that we decide to demonstrate as a nation that who we really are…And who we really are is Unconditional Love.

 May both Inner and Outer Peace be unto All in these changing times,

 Donna McGrath
