"Let us fall in love again and scatter gold dust all over the world.
Let us become a new spring and feel the breeze drift in the heavens' scent.
Let us dress the earth in green, and like the sap of a young tree let the grace from within sustain us.
Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts and let them light our path to Love. The glance of Love is crystal clear and we are blessed by it's light."
- Rumi "Hidden Music"

"...We are not living in a world experiencing an energy crisis! We are living in a world experiencing a crisis in consciousness"
David Wagner ~ Founder of Tachyon Technology and products
"Blessings, ... Attach to the real. Changes are many. Lessons are many. The flow of life plays out. The fog slowly lifts and the path becomes visible. But always be aware that the path is like the Ganges, always changing, never still. That is why we would bathe in it early each morning. To remind us, to understand, that change is the Law of Nature.
This is the great lesson. See? And my message of Truth, Simplicity and Love is the tool for living in the river of change.
Change, change, change.....this is the way of the Universe.
But there is a stillness, a ground of being, where I am no-body, no-thing, eternally observing all of this change. This is the realm of the Higher Self.
Peaceful Blessings.
Babaji"
Receive James Twyman's new CD free and help support peace mission!
As you know, I've been in the process of organizing several new missions to spread peace throughout the world, and this is not something I can do on my own. In the past we've offered many ways to join me as I travel to some of the most troubled countries on earth. The current mission is one that requires a high degree of commitment, and I hope you'll join me in a very special way.
I recently finished a new studio CD called "12 Prayers." This recording features the 12 peace prayers I've been sharing on all my peace missions throughout the years, but done in a new and very professional style. This is the perfect recording for your own peace projects or just to be inspired in your own home. It features the prayers from Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Native America and many more. (If you would like to hear two of the songs simply follow the links to my website.) I truly feel that this is the best CD I've ever produced, and that is why I've decided to release it for this very special offer.
You can receive a free download of the "12 Prayers" CD simply by making at least a $10 donation to the next peace missions. Plans are currently underway for concerts in North Korea, Iran and Israel. We need your help to make this a reality, so please add your energy in this special way and receive the CD as a free gift. (You will not receive a physical copy but will be directed to the link where you can download it onto your own computer.)
Once again, please go to www.jamestwyman.com to hear two songs from the CD and make a donation. I'm so grateful for your help.

Brilliant! really and truly!
i tell this to my clients all the time, particularly the ones who have "been working on stuff" for a long time. i am reminded of one in particular who strikes me as a powerful woman and after a couple of sessions turns and looks at me and says very matter of factly, "i've done a lot of work on that" with no small matter of pride.
i took a deep breath, restrained my desire to slap her in the face and calmly stated, "as long as you're working on it, there will always be something to work on".
now considering i do energy work for a living this could seem counter productive to business but it's not. really my goal in working with people is to show them more and more how to do it for themselves. ask for help when you need it but stop compartmentalizing everything to such a degree that it is something that someone else does for you or that you have to fix.
whenever i work with a person i see them as just fine, no matter what they're current situation looks like. after all, if at least one of us doesn't how in the world are we supposed to support a reality in which there is no problem?
she looked at me and she got it. what if she were to begin to see herself as not having a problem? what if instead of applying more and more of her energy to the pattern itself she began to reclaim that energy for herself by shifting the angle of which perceived the situation from?
i see it really as a shadow game. there is this part of myself that i have been trying so hard to fix to change and yet the more energy that i invest in this part the bigger it seems to get and the less change can i feel or notice. the smaller the person i want to be becomes.
what if instead i looked at that little bit of myself and said, "what can i do today to support you? just the way you are, you perfect little creation!"
what if i stopped trying to fix and took all that energy and invested it into me just as i am flawed, troubled, imperfect. and just said to that tiny little part that some how feels like the me that i want to be, you are perfect! you are doing a magnificent job and i am here to support you! and then just started lovin on it all. lovin on that little part and all those things that i had wanted to fix. lovin on those extra pounds and bad skin, aloneness, brokenness, and abandondedness. lovin on all those things that had to go away or change in order for me to be happy, for me to be ok.
i think, no i know that that little part would start to grow, that it would by nature of energy, attention and thought all following each other begin to expand. all that energy that had gone into fixing (sh)it would be the fertilizer that nourished that growth and transformation.
eventually, or immediately this love would become the only reality and all problems would pale in comparison to that nurtured Self."
This has been a busy summer for me, with moving to Wyoming, and that resulting in me getting way behind on my work. Last week it finally dawned on me I hadnt had a haircut in months, and I was beginning to look pretty shaggy!
I live in a small western town in the northern Rocky Mountains. So I figured there had to be an old-fashioned barber shop around here somewhere. But I couldnt find one in the yellow pages. All I saw was a couple of those fancy hair places catering mostly to women.
And then, while driving through town one day, I stumbled upon Franks Barber Shop. It was a nondescript place in a residential area of town, hidden away from the mainstream commercial section.
When I walked in, Frank, busily cutting hair, paused and gave me a big smile and a friendly western greeting. He was a trim, obviously fit, middle-aged man with a thick mane of graying hair, and a beard to match. His eyes twinkled with joy and a mischievous sense of merriment.
I felt at home immediately. It was instant rapport.
As I sat there awaiting my turn, Frank talked and joked with his customers. He alternated between an obvious, sincere concern for what was happening in their lives, and just playing and having fun with them. He had an amazing talent for uplifting people, seeing the best in them, and having great fun all the while.
When my turn came, Frank busied himself expertly cutting my hair while chatting comfortably with me, a complete stranger, as if wed known each other all our lives. This felt really good.
And, as it turned out, he gave me the best haircut Ive ever had, and now hes got a permanent customer in me. But Frank is more than just a good barber.
As we chatted, we found a number of things we had in common, including our love for jogging and other outdoor and physical activities. Then Frank told me his age, and I couldnt believe it. This "middle-aged" man was almost 70! He looked 30 years younger.
As I drove back home, I mulled all this over. Here was this man, elderly by our societys standards, and yet the joy of life was so powerfully alive in him. He looked and acted so young! And it was contagious. I could see it in his customers, and I could feel it in myself. Frank loves himself, his customers, and his life. Most of all, he knows how to have fun.
As Chief Joseph and other wise voices have said, "Life is supposed to be fun." Fun is the order of the day down at Franks Barber Shop.
Heres Joseph.
Chief Joseph
Most of you take your lives entirely too seriously. You get caught up in the worlds prescriptions and descriptions for success. Very seldom does your world define success to include having fun along the way.
Success is invariably defined as a destinationa place which, when you get to it, will make you successful. Whatever that place may bea big bank account, a sexy lover, a gorgeous home, a college degree, a prestigious career, etc.you name itthat place does not define success. Except by the worlds standards.
How many of these worldly successes have you achieved, and how many are you still seeking? And do you define yourself and your value by the number of successes youve got under your belt?
When will you ever get it all done? When will you have finally arrived at your ultimate success? When will you arrive at that place where there is nothing left to seek, nothing left to find?
The answer is simple: NEVER!
You will never arrive at your final destination. For there is no final destination, either in your physical or non-physical lives. There is only the journey.
Now we are not saying any of these worldly goals is "bad." They are all worthy of your seeking. And you deserve to have all you wish to manifest in this lifetime. You are, after all, creators of your own realities. That was what you, from your soul perspective, intended for you to do in this physical incarnationto create all the manifestations of whatever your little hearts desire.
But your soul did not intend for your creative journey to be a joyless pursuit of destinations, one after the other, after the other . . . .
Manifesting what you want in physical, material things is good, it is very good. But it is not your purpose. Nor does it define you or your value.
Your purpose in this life is to enjoy the journey. To have funto laughto playto rompto simply luxuriate in the glory and pleasures of your physical being. Your physical being is simply an extension of your greater, grander self, your soul. And your soul wants you to have fun!
So when you learn to relax more, to laugh more, to have more fun, you will discover an amazing thingall of what you want to manifest in your lives will flow to you easily and effortlessly. You dont have to work hard or struggle to achieve success. You just need to have fun along the way. And then success, however you define it, will find you.
It is so simple, and so easy.

Since 1992, John Cali has been communicating with a non-physical entity called Joseph. In one of his many physical lifetimes, this spirit was incarnated as the legendary Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe in what is now the state of Oregon in the northwestern USA. These messages are a blend of information from Joseph, other spirits in the "Joseph group," and John.
John can be reached by email here or through their website (http://www.greatwesternpublishing.org).

"Silliness gets you by the guardian of the threshold to you not getting what you want."
- Richard Bartlett, Founder of Matrix Energetics - Seattle - May, 2008
Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said:
"THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?"
A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans)
They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids dont exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They dont have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them; not to mention how could they have sex? Therefore they dont have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.

P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a piece of chocolate with my friends. With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we arent heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, "Good gosh, look how smart I am!"
In Truth, Simplicity, Love and Service,
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om Peace.
