...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.
On Louise's upcoming 2010 Fall Tour she will be presenting, 'How To Let Your Spirit Move You'...through each and every day. What does that feel like? What impedes its flow? How can it be utilized for your greatest good, and for the good of others? What is it?
A recent phone consultation presented an enlightening example of the timeless nature of expanded consciousness, and in particular — its ability to "stream" through all-of-time:
My client works in the fashion industry, previously in London. I've consulted for her over the past ten years when I’d make yearly trips across the Big Pond, and following my move to London after 9/11. In the past year she'd accepted an opportunity in Dubai, having been "made redundant" in the UK.
Virginia and I were doing some remote viewing during her apprentice session on the phone. Virginia teaches nursing at a nearby hospital, and was nearing completion of a masters program. I decided that we would time-travel to the future—to the following Friday—when she was to conduct her weekly hospital rounds with her students.

Years ago, I signed up for a year of law school. Looking back upon the experience, I would now define it as a totally unremarkable, free-will choice that I made at a directionless time in my life. I achieved so-so grades, I did not meet anyone with whom I stayed in contact, and found the reading and reporting of legal cases to be a tedious waste of time. I also had to contend with an annoying distraction from deceased plaintiffs and defendants who would contact me during class discussions to telepathically communicate their side of a case.
There's one thing that never ceases to get me—"Verklempt!" It's when I see people unifying, working together—just as the trapped miners in Chile are currently doing. Their rescue is estimated to occur in about four months.
Even birds in formation, the Blue Angels, and watching "the wave" in large stadiums—make me weep. I believe that working together in community is the way of the future. I once inadvertently "time-traveled" there, where I got a glimpse, a sneak preview of that future. I used to refer to it as —"Through the Hedge."
...more about the miners:
Eat, Pray, Love: the movie—I felt that the screenwriter (+Julia) pulled it off, a challenging feat when so much of the book's appeal = Elizabeth Gilbert's ability to put deep-down emotions into wonderfully descriptive words + a sort of Woody Allen-ish introspection that = great entertainment...
We experience a false sense of safety when life stays the same for any period of time. We delude ourselves by thinking that we can keep change at bay—avoid its disruptions—if we simply focus on battening down the hatches more securely and concentrate on perfecting imperfections. There is a sense that by making things more perfect in the present, we will safeguard certainties, decrease uncertainties, and secure for ourselves a personally endorsed future.—from Fearless Future
Sometimes I 'zoom out' to try and see how those of us employing intuit gifts in unique ways might appear to others, particularly mainstream and very religious folk. Seeing (and interpreting for) souls-not-present-in-physcial-form, elements of nature (and 'elementals' as well), the angelic realm, and all of God's creatures, traveling beyond time— well, some must view us as pretty looney individuals. It's tricky business, living a balanced life and remembering to 'ground the wire!'

Here's another good article from Oprah's website:
How To Be An Optimist By Lise Funderberg from O, The Oprah Magazine | February 15, 2002
We know that positive thoughts and emotions pull us back into alignment (where the Source can find us and hear our prayers)—and elevate our amps to higher manifestation frequencies. There are quite a few ideas re. optimism in the article, and this section caught my eye: SHORT-CIRCUIT PESSIMISM:
There's another reason for putting on a happy face: It influences your brain in a positive way. In one study, subjects who were asked to hold a pen in their mouth
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
I recently saw the movie Inception with Leo DeCaprio - whoa! Fascinating plot re. the dreamworld, implanting ideas, suggestions..."the most powerful thoughts are the ones connected to positive emotions."
Another version of this video ends with a skeptic's take on it. Sometimes I can't believe my ears upon hearing some responses to phenomena. The concrete, logical mind simply cannot wrap around this kind of information—like a Mac and a PC, never the twain shall meet! (There's a fun example of skeptical responses in the story, "Snowman Poop" in Heart-Links). Here's the reincarnation video...
I recently responded to an interesting conversation going on in the Discussion Forum. I ended up telling a story re. a "three-way" adventure I'd had with an apprentice and a past (non-physical) client of hers...(click here to read more in the Discussion Forum and scroll down to "Simulating Our Non-Physical Selves.")
One of my favorite speaking venues are IONS (Institute of Noetic Science) groups around the country. Willis Harman was a president, a kind, generous, brilliant man. He wrote the forward to Beyond Boundaries, an essay so erudite that I'm only now beginning to comprehend what he said!
Anyway, on one occasion when I met with Willis, he said to me, "SO! How shall we collaborate?" It wasn't until after he'd "dropped the body" in 1997, that we had the opportunity to do so! Here's that story, from Heart-Links:
I met Willis Harman about ten years before the end of his life (in the physical). Greta, my niece, was serving as temporary director of the World Business Academy, a sister organization of the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
