I enjoyed watching Charlie Rose's interview with Karen Armstrong, particularly regarding how we need to dialogue with each other these days:
CHARLIE ROSE: Socrates said conduct dialogue with gentleness.

Edith Ego is refusing to go into "time-out." She's the thoughts in my head that are the most susceptible to the polarizing, divisive effects of encountering (and hearing about) folks who hold differing beliefs. Edith has a troubling need to make others wrong — for her to feel right. She wants to lower others — to elevate herself.
Wow. I’m often asked, "Do you believe in ESP?"— as if it's a religion! Here's and example of the chaos that ensues when right/left brain perceptions (and discoveries) seek a mtg place. Like a Mac and a PC — perhaps never the ‘twain shall meet. I observe all that apprentices' brains go through, when receiving and decoding intuitive info, viewing remotely, dialing into "streaming consciousness," and interpreting from the "non-physical." Their “intelligence” has a fit!
This article by Martha Beck is excellent. I like the idea of using adjectives rather than nouns, re. words of power. When she asks you to "gaze into your future"— that's where I actually go with clients, to hang out there and embrace — INHALE! — all those positive, probable future aspects. I'm currently composing a response to several who have reached me recently, asking how they might literally time-travel to the past -- to erase it! Anyway, here's Martha's great article: Goal Setting Strategies
Louise really enjoyed this interview with "Rev Kev." What a multi-dimensional guy! Listen to how his non-physical parishioner coached him re. her own memorial service!
Here's a good question that was recently posted on this subject at one of the Discussion Forums: Overload

"Future Fridays"
The apprentices and I are having fun experimenting with our ability to go beyond time. Here we toss out visions for each other to manifest by the following Friday. We join each other in our respective future moments, hanging out there briefly to look around for details and feel the excitement of that moment having come about.
Be sure to tune into Louise's interview on "Design Your Life" with Rev. Kevin Ross on Wed/Dec 15th at www.unity.fm (The recording of this interview will be archived).
"Women of a certain age are swimming in an ocean of disrespect!" A friend an I were discussing this observation that we heard the other day. That night, she had a dream that we'll henceforth refer to as — "The Orange Lifesaver." It will serve as an important reminder:
"I dreamed that I was drowning. I was sinking and the bottom. It was mushy, not solid at all, so I could not push up towards the surface. In fact it was rather like quicksand, pulling me and sticky me to the bottom.
A client asked this question at the end of her intuitive coaching session this morning. She's a diligent "seeker" who's been on a spiritual path for years. I assigned her this homework: Throughout the next week, I asked her to observe any thoughts that pop in, ones that remind her to work harder to reach God.
On my recent Fall Tour I spoke about "How to Let Your Spirit Move You." I mentioned the importance of yielding to one's timeless spirit that "knows no chronology" and operates outside of time. Our attachment to linear time and our beliefs about aging allows the body to lead the parade, effectively mirroring our learned and modeled expectations about aging, rather than reflecting the vitality and wellness of the spirit.
Holly Schwartztol is the president of this welcoming group where Louise presented ideas re: How to allow one's writing to originate from a more creative and authentic place — where the Divine can come through to inspire with greater clarity and simplicity. "Creativity is Divine energy expressing itself!"
The audience enjoyed Louise's interpretation of messages from several pets whose owners were in this audience. Cats, dogs, and horses had much to "telepathize"—remotely!
My observation may not rate as high as Carl Jung's on the scale of wondrous synchronicities — but still...
Swiss Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung coined the term synchronicity to signify "the simultaneous occurrence of two meaningful but not causally connected events," or as "a coincidence in time of two or more casually unrelated events which have the same or similar meaning...equal in rank to a causality as a principle of explanation."
...from the balcony of a fun, long-time client who hosted last week's "RIR."
It's what my twin bro said recently, when we were discussing the limitations of being consummate perfectionists. Here's a great article by Martha Beck that tackles this issue head on: Reforming the Perfectionist In You
Louise taps into "streaming consciousness" and interprets telepathically for a participant's horse during a presentation at Chicago's Equilibrium, Energy & Education. "Sharp object?—It was the spurs!" the owner exclaimed, later recalling that she'd recently made the comment (in earshot of the horse)—that she might use them at the upcoming dressage competition!
Louise describes how a "non-physical" loved one was able to "piggyback" on her client's frequency during her presentation for Chicago's Equilibrium, Energy & Education in Sept 2010.
Lynn Elliott has been hosting wonderful "RIRs" for several years, whenever I come to Columbus, OH. We met in 1996, when she came to my presentation at a local metaphysical bookstore. I always enjoy hooking up with Lynn. She's one of those natural networkers, a Lightworker who definitely brings others to a brighter place—just being the Light-in-the-market-place that she is. This "RIR" was very healing for the participants, with lots of insightful messages.
