From Heart-Links: Here's an excerpt from the transcript of a consultation with a skeptic who became a believer — in her own words:

Again I felt doubtful, even though it felt right on. My mind kicked in with: “But anybody would in this situation...I wish she'd be more specific…”

L: “OK, that's what he's talking about; he's saying, "I'm there; I hear every word."
D: “I want to connect with him...”
L: “That's why he's doing this here today; he's giving you examples of when he's there and he's wanting to help you trust the feeling.”

Here are pages from Leonardo Da Vinci's To Do List!

I've personally re-resolved to resume my regular meditation practice! You'll find the author's conclusion very interesting:

(Here is the article in full).

"We live in an age that worships attention," says my friend (and Radiolab colleague) Jonah Lehrer. When we need to work, we force ourselves to concentrate. This approach can also inhibit the imagination. Sometimes, it helps to consider irrelevant information, to eavesdrop on all the stray associations unfolding in the far reaches of the brain."

That ability to let go, float free, does seem like an essential part of a creative mind, not just in giant ones. Those of us who make our livings closer to the ground, have to do it too. In his forthcoming book, (coming to bookstores this Spring) Jonah mentions a study by Dr. Holly White, then at the University of Memphis, and her colleague Priti Shah, of the University of Michigan.

Appreciation for Jerry Hicks
Discoveries, Connection, and Fresh Vantage Points

“Well, first we’ll say we really appreciate your disrespectful word of croaking, we like it very much, because there is no such thing as death….

So, let’s get this straight in your mind. So what happens when some beautifully connected, physically focused human Being transcends into Nonphysical? In other words, lies on the pillow as you’re describing, and goes to sleep, and wakes up in the Nonphysical dimension and does not wake up in this dimension? What has happened?

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." — Albert Einstein

Reminds me of all those children who come in — remembering!

You may have read about Tina the Tree Lady (and/or The Flower Story) — both wonderful examples of how all living things are connected energetically. Once again, this morning in a phone consultation I was interrupted by a "tree person!" Wanting me to me to relay a message to my client, it telepathized, "Be sure not to cut the tops of those trees!"

Here's a great depiction of how it feels to me when I sense one — and then the other— through the consciousness of my clients and apprentices!

This article made my morning! I've named my least favorite body part, Mildred Midriff— "Middie" for short.

Rules for Everyday Senseless Joy
By Leigh Newman
OWN TV | October 14, 2011

We know how to make ourselves happy—but the trick is getting ourselves to do these things. So, here are a few inflexible rules and regulations designed to help you on your way to spontaneous daily bliss.
1. After all clumsy, embarrassing moments, you must curtsy.

Norbert is staying where I've been lodging on this Fall tour in Southern California. He volunteers at shopping mall sites where Legos demonstrations are staged, constructing some pretty amazing structures.

When I "see the future" in consultations, I'm forever reminding clients that the "sneak peek" of a potential, positive moment is existing beyond time as a result of wise, conscious choices that will have been made in the present. Different choices will, of course, create other alternate pathways.

This quote from Greg Braden says it all:

There are events in the past that serve as markers for certain turning points in my life, and some that have influenced all of our lives. In preparing to notify clients about my return engagement at the Inside Edge in Irvine, CA — Friday, October 7th — I dug up photos from my three previous engagements there.

It's very seductive for me to embrace my own point of view as absolute truth. Watching the news channel that favors my political and spiritual spin elevates my Edith Ego and leaves her feeling triumphant, particularly when commentaries confirm how absolutely wrong "they" are — and how obviously, unmistakably right — I am. Alas, I can't say that those feelings trump the calmer sense of unity and compassion that fills me, when I remind myself that the way I see things — is not who I am.

Here's a an article that offers a great exercise on this subject:

Here's a great article on intuition, one that helps explain some anomalies that occur in my work with apprentices. One in particular relates to something I've observed when I conduct remote viewing exercises over the phone and computer.

I find that when I "send" (transmit) a specific image to the apprentice, one that I'm intentionally focused on, the scope of the information that the he/she receives extends way beyond any visual impressions that they might have intuited from the picture. They pick up on the smallest details that they couldn't possibly have known.

I really like Martha Beck's writing and counseling style. This article explores a very practical definition of (and application for) "unconditional love."

How to Love More by Caring Less

Oprah.com | From the July 2011 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

How do you get your nearest and dearest to change their behavior? Simple: Stop giving a damn what they do, says Martha Beck.

This is a great series on the Science Channel, particularly this current 2nd season. I'm somewhat dubious that science will ever succeed in quantifiably defining the soul — but I sure enjoy learning about the attempts! Upcoming episode: "Does Time Really Exist?" Yeaah.....

A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future presents ideas that are so relevant to the cause of yielding (and expanding) our right-brain, intuitive sensings!

Here's a review:

“Spirited” is an Australian television drama series made for subscription television channel W. It is produced by John Edwards, Claudia Karvan and Jacqeline Perske who also created drama series Love My Way. It is directed by Stuart McDonald and Jessica Hobbs.

Years ago, I met Dale Graff, a physicist and former Director of Project STARGATE, the government program that investigated remote viewing phenomena in the 70s. We were both speakers on an "Inner Journey Voyage" cruise ship.

I was delighted to learn that a few of my own observations, gleaned from my intuition work with apprentices in the IAP jived with a some of Dale's much more scientific, sophisticated discoveries in "RV" — remote viewing. I decided to include this as one of the exercises in the Intuition Advancement Series.

I've often said that "Christ was not a 'Christian,'" and that man created God in his image.
Here's an inspiring article:

By Desmond Tutu

1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner
God Is Not a Christian

The following is excerpted from the Archbishop Desmond Tutu's new book, God Is Not A Christian: And Other Provocations.

This talk also comes from a forum in Britain, where Tutu addressed leaders of different faiths during a mission to the city of Birmingham in 1989.
