  • A Simple Tool For Your Toolbox

    By Tom T. Moore Copyright 2012

    As we get older, one of the things we must face are more trips to a hospital for any variety of reasons.  This happened to me recently when I went in for arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn cartilage brought on by years of skiing. After a vacation this past September to Orlando’s amusement centers and St. Petersburg, Florida, I could barely walk.

    Certainly there’s stress involved with any type of procedure, but I’m going to give you a simple tool you can use not only in serious circumstances, but for ANY situation, no matter how mundane for the rest of your life.  It is requesting Most Benevolent Outcomes (MBO’s) each time you go anywhere or do anything.  As an example, before I left for the hospital I said out loud, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for my drive to the hospital, thank you!”  Now I believe that my own Guardian Angel handled that request, but you can believe the request is going to God, Allah, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Vishnu, or any other deity.  It does not matter, because IT WORKS!  Before the surgery I said, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for this surgery, and may the results be even better than I can hope for or expect, thank you!” (more…)

  • How Many Times?

    I wonder how many times
    I have walked upon this planet.
    Certainly this is not my first trip;
    I am an old time traveler who has returned, building upon past vacations.
    Sometimes, I wonder why I put myself through this journey again and again.
    The flesh decays; sunshine turns to darkness and those you love pass away.
    Why return to this place of sorrow and tragedy?

    Yet, the heart whispers- because without bitterness there can be no sweetness.
    Without loneliness there can be no love.
    Without death there can be no life.
    All to be shared, over and over again;
    all to know the Creator, myself, and others more fully.

    Personally, joining in the action of creation- moment by moment.

  • Impact of a Tragedy: Trayvon Martin

    By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

    The whole world is a marketplace for Love,
    For naught that is, from Love remains remote.
    The Eternal Wisdom made all things in Love.
    On Love they all depend, to Love all turn.
    The earth, the heavens, the sun, the moon, the stars
    The center of their orbit find in Love.
    By love are all bewildered, stupefied,
    Intoxicated by the Wine of Love.

    -Attar

  • The Story of the Essenes – Twelve Maidens

    by Doug Simpson

    This is the third article in a series of articles on the Essenes, based on the information revealed in the in-trance readings from America’s legendary mystic, Edgar Cayce. If you have not read The Story of the Essenes – The Beginning and The Story of the Essenes – Jesus’ Teacher, I respectfully recommend that you do so before continuing to read this article. It is not crucial that you do this, but it will assist you in understanding the background of the Essenes organization and religion, prior to the point in time where they were making contingency plans during their preparations for the birth of the long-awaited Messiah.

  • Substitutes For Community Living

    Modern Society And The Breakdown Of Having All Things In Common, Including Interpersonal Relationships

    by Gabriel of Urantia

    With the onslaught (particularly in Western civilization) of modernization, industrialization, and technology, people have become more isolated from each other and from the local community where they may live. At one time in our human history people used to know the names of everyone in the tribe or neighborhood. They ate, played, washed clothes, watched each other’s children, fixed each other’s broken-down whatever, worshipped God together in kivas and outdoor arenas, helped raise the animals, and often shared the same modes of transportation (horses, chariots, wagons, etc). The following specifics are some of the reasons why community has been lost in present-day civilization. (more…)

    Floater structures in the visual arts of ancient Egypt

    By Floco Tausin

    In Western culture, the phenomenon of vitreous floaters (or muscae volitantes) is primarily understood in line with modern ophthalmology as “vitreous opacities”. The review of visual arts from former and non-Western cultures representing mythical and spiritual ideas, however, discloses abstract symbols that resemble the typical structures of eye floaters. This suggests that floaters have been widely interpreted as a mythical or spiritual phenomenon; and that there might be a perceptual dimension of floaters that modern ophthalmology fails to see (Tausin, 2010, 2006b). This article provides a trip to the visual worlds of Pharaonic Egypt and suggests that vitreous floaters have found their way into the art and imagination of this ancient civilization. (more…)

  • Becoming Our Own Wise One

    By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

    There are as many ways to God as there are created souls. Muhammad

    *          *          *

    In our culture, who assumes the role of holy or wise one?  In more traditional cultures the holy, wise one is a central figure.  Often, they advise the king/queen, sit at the right hand of the chief, understand human behavior and prescribe medicine, help pass along the oral history of the tribe, and have an inner connection with universal wisdom and Truth.  When a difficult societal issue arises, this individual is central in helping decide direction or outcome. Daily, they are consulted on a variety of issues.

    Today, this diverse role and function has been spread across a team of specialists. For guidance, we go to a priest, counselor, doctor, psychologist, historian, politician or lawyer. Because of the complexity of some issues, this specialist may not even live in our own community, and to consult them we make an appointment, months in advance, travel to get the advice/treatment and pay a fee.

  • Don’t Give Up – Ride that Ascension Wave All the Way Through 2012!

    By Lisa Whatley – © February 2012

    My recent newsletter article called “Welcome to 2012 and Beyond” has received enough email returning a similar question that I felt I must take the time to answer it for all to read and remember these are my views; accept what you like and leave the rest behind. =)

    The most concern seems to be my belief that our physical world is N-O-T going to end by some disastrous event and it appears this has brought relief to many however it has also brought confusion as well in the form of …

    “What do we do now? If it isn’t going to actually E-N-D what is the point of doing all this work on ourselves?” (more…)

  • Waiting Deep Within

    By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

    An acorn fell from an oak tree and lay frightened on the meadow floor.  As he lay in this new environment, he remembered his past life, high on the branches. Many of his friends were still there and he longed for the hours of companionship, grand view of things and boasting about their future.

    As time wore on, other acorns were lost to squirrels, some failed to mature and many fell to the earth.  These were hidden to each other by the fallen leaves and meadow debris.

    Lying on the ground for weeks, our acorn thought all was lost. (more…)
