These archetypal images and myths reappear throughout history in societies separated in both time (different eras) and space (different continents). In his recent book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, Malcolm Gladwell points out that each of us are driven by unconscious biases. He noticed that after growing his hair long he was ticketed for speeding far more often, than previously (with short hair). He wondered if some kind of bias was at play. He then discovered that each of us have unconscious biases that can be measured in a cognitive psychology lab. These prejudicial biases exist in our collective unconscious. Beliefs at this level of consciousness definitely influence us—whether we are aware of them or not. ����������� 25 —— o you consider y o u r s e l f bigoted or greedy? Are you filled with conceit? Most people, when asked, do not see themselves as having negative traits. You see, the ego has a place for these undesirable emotions—we call it the subconscious. Freud popularized the term and recognized that we hide resisted experiences—those we judge as horrible— in this mental sub-basement. Ever wonder why dreams can be so frightening? Dreams open a crack in the cellar door and give us a glimpse into “the little shop of horrors” that we’ve disowned. ���������������� ��������������� ������������ ���� ������������� ������������������ ������� Directory Holistic Forum..................4 Acupuncture ................. 16 Alternative Healing........ 16 Arts & Healing............... 18 Ayurveda ....................... 18 Bodywork...................... 18 Bookstores/Gifts ............ 18 Breathwork.................... 20 Childbirth ...................... 20 Chiropractic................... 20 Colonics......................... 20 Counseling/Therapy ..... 22 Dance/Movement ........ 22 Dentistry........................ 26 Education/Personal Growth.......................... 26 Energy Work.................. 26 Holistic Centers ............. 26 Holistic Dentistry ........... 26 Holistic Medicine........... 26 Holistic Veterinary.......... 26 Homeopathy................. 26 Hypnotherapy............... 28 Interior Design/ Feng Shui ...................... 28 Iridology ........................ 28 Macrobiotics ................. 28 Meditation .................... 30 Metaphysical Arts & Sciences..................... 30 Midwifery...................... 36 Nutrition........................ 36 Osteopathy ................... 36 Pilates ............................ 36 Products ........................ 36 Reflexology ................... 36 Reiki/Energy Healing..... 36 Shamanism ................... 38 Spiritual Organizations................ 38 Tai Chi/Qigong ............. 38 Yoga .............................. 38 Events ............................ 46 Space Available ............. 46 Classifieds...................... 46 Ad Rates ........................ 47 Holistic Networker provides an advertising service.

If each of us has a “shadow side”, an unconscious pool of dirty, dark beliefs that drive our behavior, our preferences and our lives, then how can we achieve peace on earth if we cannot root out evil in our very own consciousness? A good first step is to simply accept that this evil shadow exists. There are many enlightening books, classes, and practices that can help you integrate your shadow self. Body-centered psychotherapy, like Radix®, yoga and meditation classes and simple mindfulness training work wonders. For example, the Avatar® Course instructs us to become aware of our self-deception signals: gossip and being critical of another. People that we criticize mirror our own behavior that we hide from ourselves and others. (“If you spot it, you got it”.) Look into the Avatar Course online (www.AvatarEPC.com) and you’ll find seven free mini-courses that can help you integrate your shadow self and realign yourself with your life purpose. S o often I think that the key to being happy in life is appreciating life’s gifts while we have them and not only after we have lost them. We would not wish to lose our health in order to appreciate being healthy. We all have such great blessings that are easy to take for granted. I find that just being able to breathe and have air in my lungs, is such a great gift and something I am truly grateful for. When I remind myself of this, I am always able to regain my perspective and to remember what is truly important. It is easy to forget to appreciate the people and things that really matter to us. When thinking about my children, I frequently remind myself that this is their childhood and that I don’t get a second chance to help them to have a great childhood. This enables me to focus on what I truly value and to appreciate whatever it is I am doing with them. Time spent with a beloved friend or family member is so precious and one of life’s greatest pleasures. I was reminded of this a few months ago when one of my dearest friends and I got together. We hadn’t seen each other in a few months as we had both been so busy. I found myself totally riveted, joyful, and fully in the present moment during our time together. I savored our opportunity to catch up with each other. We had so much fun and her support and wisdom meant so much to me. The time just sped by and before I knew it we both had to go. As I was leaving I thought about how the priceless gift of her friendship and our time together meant more to me than most material things. I often marvel at people who are able to accept incredible losses and still manage to find joy and blessings in their life. I sometimes think about truly great people, like Christopher Reeves, who was paralyzed from the neck down after his accident. Yet, he managed to find joy in his life, to inspire others and to demonstrate to the world what a truly super man he really was. It humbles me to think about people like Mr. Reeves and like Helen Keller. Both were able to be of such great benefit to humanity when they could have just become embittered about their lives. We all have so many blessings. I hope you will remember what your blessings are and that you will spend more of your time counting and appreciating them. Then you will be able to watch them grow and expand. You will find your life spiraling upward and it will be filled with what truly matters to you. For you will know what those things are and this will help you to make time for them. These integrity practices, when done with the intention of helping all sentient beings, can profoundly improve your experience of the world. Many wonderful people will be at our upcoming Wellness Expo on April 16th and 17th at the Addison Conference Centre. I hope you will be one of them.

It’s been my experience for over 20 years that it is just that--energetics medicine. A remedy which has no original substance in it has to be working within another domain/modality of healing on a higher energy level, to create a pattern of health rather than one of disease. One remedy or multiple ones; which is better? Hahnemann himself used more than one remedy at a time in his later years. As long as the combination does not cancel itself out, there can be brilliant results with combinations; again, energetics medicine! Roger Keanely, M.D. uses homeopathy to strengthen one’s constitution and to improve health. He also works with nutrition evaluation/planning. He may be reached at 214-350-4733. What is Thai massage? Thai massage is a blend of massage, acupressure, energy work, and gentle yoga stretches. The client wears comfortable clothing and lies on the floor on a soft mat. Benefits from a session include: releasing tight joints, stretching muscles, increasing range of motion, and reducing stress. Here’s what one of my clients, Stacey Johnson, has to say about this ancient form of bodywork: “Thai massage seems to be the key to keeping things in sync for me. I recommend it to anyone who wants to find relaxation, flexibility, pain relief, and a greater sense of self.” Suzanne Miller is a Registered Massage Therapist and Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher who has a practice in the Dallas area. She has travelled both in the US and Thailand to enhance her training and studies in Thai Massage. To schedule an appointment, please call: 972-319-3661. Who gets psychic readings? Everyone at some point may feel the need to meet with a professional psychic. Why? For confirmation and a better understanding of Life, Death and Beyond. One Private Reading is usually all you need. Psychic Readings and Tarot Cards are fun and informative often surprising even the most skeptical. I believe the rich and famous are very intuitive and have followed their own instincts; a gut feeling can change your life...follow it! Sandy Winnette, former instructor of FunEd learning center in Dallas. Classes/seminars in Self Hypnosis, Past Lives, Tarot card classes, auras & psychometry over 20 years teaching the many multilevels of the psychic mind and helping people help themselves. Private appointments and classes offered. Irving, TX. 972-399-3522. www.myfavoritepsychic.com Visa/Mastercard accepted. See Sandy at the upcoming Wellness Expo! Can unresolved skin problems eg. Psoriasis, Eczema, Hives, itching, etc. be helped? ABSOLUTELY!! The skin problems mentioned above are often very resistant to traditional treatments including antihistamines, steroids, immune modulators/ suppressors. This is because food allergies/sensitivities are very often the culprit of the problems and they have to be dealt with for the issues to be resolved. Avoiding common allergic/sensitive foods, especially for extended periods of time, is extremely difficult and impractical if not almost impossible. NAET treatment is an alternative non-invasive yet very effective method of treatment for food allergies/sensitivities which can account for several other chronic health problems eg. Headaches, Migraines, Irritable Bowels, Colitis, Cystitis, ADD, Behavior problems, Autistic Spectrum, Fatigue, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and other chronic health problems. Vara Kantipong, M.D. combines traditional and complimentary alternative medicine to achieve a more successful result for difficult and unresolved health problems. 972-867-7990, www.drkantipong.com What is CranioFascial Integrative Therapy? This therapy recognizes the importance of the integration of the fascial and CranioSacral systems and works to gently release restrictions that may be causing pain, or problems in the immune, nervous, digestive, endocrine or other body systems. Using a very light touch the therapist works to correct the origin of the pain. It has been used to successfully correct infertility, scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, ADD/ADHD, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, arthritis, and pain in any area of the body, including migraines. Frankie Burget is a licensed Occupational Therapist and Fellow with the American College of Wellness who has practiced in the DFW area for over 20 years. She has extensive training including Barnes Myofascial Release Centers and Upledger Institute. You may view her curriculum vitae on the About Us page of her website, www.windsongtherapy.com.

A foundation of all Feng Shui practices and analysis is the Bagua Map. This magical square contains the mystery and answers of the I Ching, a universe of information. Each sector of the octagon shaped Bagua Map, called a trigram, gua, or kua, has a magnetic direction, a number, a color, an element, a family member, corresponding organs body parts and body systems. Each also represents personality traits, businesses and industries, and is represented cyclically as these energies move in predictable directions over time. Feng Shui uses the Mysteries of the Bagua Map to analyze and diagnose a property to identify precisely what is affecting you, and how to make the changes that can open opportunities for a better life. Feng Shui specialist, Karen Ann Tompkins, has worked in hundreds of homes and businesses. Featured on channel 8, WFAA, Good Morning Texas, The Dallas Morning News, D Magazine, Dallas Woman and others, she also teaches classes and is a popular lecturer. She can be reached at 972-669-1595. How do I become more passionate and joyful? We’re so easily distracted by technology and the business of life that we are becoming less and less in touch with our bodies. Bioenergetics helps us to be aware of our bodies, our breathing, our grounding so that we can make more conscious choices about what we want in our lives as well as what we don’t want. Sherri Lackman is a Master’s Level Licensed Professional Counselor. She holds membership in the American Counseling Association, the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis, the Dallas Society for Bioenergetic Analysis, and the Heart-Centered Therapies Association. Sherri treats Depression, Bipolar, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders. Her office is located in Richardson, 972-231-4466. How can Healing with Sound be of benefit to me? HypnoBirthing childbirth education helps moms to eliminate fear and have a safe, comfortable, easy, birth. We have videos of women smiling and resting in full-blown labor. We teach how your body is perfectly made to give birth. You can break that fear-tension-pain cycle, the key to a comfortable, joyful birth. Simply being educated about how your body works, alone, won’t always get you there. You must release fears subconsciously and develop consciously and subconsciously high-powered self-confidence! Our techniques are easy to master and are the best-kept secret of the HypnoBirthing program. The Language of Light is a vibrational healing technique. During her expression of the Language of Light, Nancy is able to “catch” the sound current to “tune into” the frequency of your soul like a radio. This provides a soundcarrier wave for your intention to manifest.

In addition, some clients have reported a lessening of their depression, an easing of back pain, a decrease in neuropathy pain (for about 3 weeks following one session), and a release of physical & emotional trauma.

HolisticNetworker.com Spring 2005 5 HolisticForum What is Iridology and how can it help me? Why does “the other side” use symbols to convey their messages instead of words? It has been said that the eye is the mirror of the soul, and that it discloses the different mental and physical conditions of the body; we generally speak of the ‘vivid clear eye’ of the well person, of the ‘anguishing, glaring eye’ of the consumptive; of the ‘broken eye’ of the dead-sick. Various nervous diseases are disclosed by the decreased mobility of the pupil; frequent disturbances of the sight point to diseases of the kidneys (diabetes), as does also the falling out of the eye-lashes. By analyzing the iris of the eye, it is possible to determine the condition of your body by reflex markings found in the corresponding fibers of the iris. Iridology analyzes the iris of the eye to determine the cause of your ill health, in what state it is in, how it arrived there, how to free your body of it, and most of all, when you have freed it. When we cross over we retain our memories, experiences — everything that makes us unique except our bodies. This retention makes communication from Spirit world possible. Sending these images from Spirit world to our world is not so easy. For example, in a session, my client’s Mom showed me rows of corn and peaches. My client, a New Yorker could not relate to the images. I told him to write it all down and let me know if he ever figured out what the produce meant. Later he wrote me an e-mail saying that he found out that one of his employees had been stealing money from his company and the woman who told him had the nickname of “Peaches” and her hair was braided in corn rows! Now why didn’t his Mom just show me thief and a head of braids? I think she meant to get his attention and boy did she!

HolisticNetworker.com Spring 2005 19 Rolfing® is a process for organizing the structure of our bodies so that we function more effectively. Over the years, our bodies react to trauma, both physical and emotional, by shortening and twisting. This intensifies our struggle with the force of gravity, which results in reduced freedom of movement, an increased likelihood of chronic pain, poor posture and a lessened sense of aliveness and self-esteem. During the basic Rolfing series of ten sessions, the Rolfer manipulates the muscles and fascia (a connective tissue) to free up those places where the client’s structure is constricted or held out of balance. The goal of Rolfing is to organize the client’s physical structure so that his/ her struggle with gravity is minimized. In addition to the physical changes of better balance, more freedom of movement, less stress, better posture and less chronic pain, Rolfing also affects your emotional, mental and spiritual realms. As you feel more supported by your legs, you view the world from a more secure position. You feel an increased sense of self-esteem, and the energy flow of your body is more opened and balanced. Bioenergetic Analysis is a somatic psychotherapy based on a developmental, analytic approach. It utilizes active involvement of the body in psychotherapeutic interventions. In Bioenergetics, we work with grounding, breathing and character structure. Grounding relates to one’s emotional security and personality authority. When we stay in our heads and deny the experience of our bodies, we lose contact with our internal sense of support. Breathing vitalizes and energizes our bodies. Our breathing patterns reveal defensive blocks in the body through muscular constrictions. Breathing increases our capacity for feeling, our energy level and our access to pleasure. Character structure indicates the manner in which we limit the energy flow in our bodies and is indicative of the coping patterns we used to fend off the vicissitudes of growing up. Understanding our character structure gives insight into our defensive posturing, our personal histories and suggests a possible course of therapy. “Bioenergetic Analysis combines the work of the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems”...Alexander Lowen, Founder If you believe that you could benefit from either of these processes, or if you would like to experience in depth personal growth through a personalized combination of both disciplines, contact Chuck Lustfield, (214) 902-8900 • http://www.lustfield.com Chuck Lustfield, Ph.D. is a Certified Advanced Rolfer, has a M.S. in counseling, is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Certified Bioenergetic Therapist.

The goal is to align your heart’s desire with your soul purpose.

This provides a sound-carrier wave for your intention to manifest. Nancy records her private sessions in order to provide you with a custom audio tape to aid you in manifesting your heart’s desire. Nancy’s sessions have helped people to overcome their fears, to alleviate depression, to relieve or diminish physical pain and to realize their dreams.

What better place to start than in our own homes? I’ll share some simple techniques for any novice to use to Spring clean the energies of their home or office. These simple Spring cleaning tips will allow you to clear your space of the vibrational imprints of the past. They will provide a quick and easy way to align the energies of your environment with your intentions for the year. These 6 Cs of Space Clearing will empower you to sweep out the old and make way for the new growth of Spring in your environment. Clutter: To our subconscious mind, clutter triggers images of stagnation, stuck energy and places where Life doesn’t move. It usually represents the things we are resisting and where we don’t want to put our attention. Simply put: clean out the clutter. Piles of laundry, papers, boxes, mail...whatever it is, when we see clutter, our mind equates it with chaos and dead energy. So make a point to dive into your clutter like a heat-seeking missile. Go straight for it, you know where it lives! Put it away, find a home for it make decisions about it, address it! Once you move that dead energy in your home, you will be surprised at how it moves in your life! Corners: Keep them especially free of clutter as corners are the places where the Life energy or Ch’i of our environment comes to a stop like traffic at a four-way stop sign. Co-create with your environment to discover the plants, artwork, or objects in your corners which will move the energy: the running water of a fountain, the flow of air represented by wind chimes, or even the life-sustaining energy of a plant can be enough to keep the energy moving and flowing instead of stagnating in your corners. Follow your intuition and allow it to tell you what will make the space feel more harmonious, peaceful and joyful and redirect the dead energies of a corner. These energy transformers for the corners of your home or office will have a powerful effect, as your corners are special energy spots in the house. Closets: Clean them out! They are the bowels of our homes and offices, the storage bins for old, dead energy. If you don’t use it, lose it! Keep your closets clean, neat, and free of unwanted, old, unused items. Yes, you looked marvelous in that dress you’ve been holding onto for the last five years, and one day you’ll lose that extra 10 lbs. and will fit into it again, but for now, give it to a friend, or family member who can use it. When you lose that weight, you’ll owe it to yourself to buy a new dress! Don’t allow your closets to become black holes, or they will reflect that energy. Again, use your intuition to let you know what you need to keep and what can be ditched to make room for the new. Ceremony: In ceremony we honor life, the seasons, and those aspects of living beyond the physical. Ceremony brings us in touch with the worlds beyond our everyday, and reminds us of a vastness of Life beyond our immediate attention. Make time for ceremony in your life and your home and you will open a doorway into another dimension beyond this one allowing fresh new ideas, inspiration and energies to flow into your home. Rather than follow textbooks or recipes about which ceremony is “right” for your space, feel the unique connection you have with your space, and allow yourself to follow whatever ceremony you are guided to use. Look for a ceremonial act that seems to match your energies and the energies of your space to inaugurate the new energies of Spring. It could be a simple ceremony like a ribbon-cutting ceremony to initiate the new energies of your place, or popping of the champagne cork to signify the bringing in of the Spring. Do your ceremony with intention and awareness. Even the simple ceremony of smudging a new dwelling can be quite profound when done with an awareness of the intention. Burn a candle each night and ceremoniously burn worries of the day in the fire. Consciousness: The power of this cannot be overstated in my experience. Where we put our consciousness, we put our life energy. Use this time to find the aspects of your home or office where you have vacated your consciousness—those closets, corners, and dead zones that you pretend are not there, or wish weren’t. For some people, it could be a room where their dead parents used to live, or where the kids used to live before they went off to school, or the pile of paper in the office that calls out for help, but we pretend isn’t there. Put your consciousness into that space, with intention, and yes, even ceremony, and notice the MAGIC that happens when you do! Energy flows where attention goes! Cycles: There is a rhythm to Life, a time for Growth, and a time for Death. Cycles are important to observe: moon cycles are often used for planting, cutting hair, beginning new projects. Similarly, observe the cycles of the sun of day and night, be more active during the daylight hours, and wind down in the evening when there is less energy available. There are also the larger seasonal cycles, solstices, equinoxes, and the times in between them (what the Celts called the “cross quarter” days). When we are in tune with and align consciously with these cycles of nature, the rhythm of Life, we find more harmony and balance in our lives. Spring is a natural time to go forward and celebrate the energies, which are coming out of the hibernation of Winter. How much more potent a time it is when we greet these new energies with enthusiasm unencumbered by the past. When we follow these cycles, we harness the Life energy of the planet and begin to dance to the same beat of Life. By paying attention to the cycles of Life, we begin to work with them to receive the gift of their energy. With some small investment on our part, we can dramatically change the energies of our environment, making our homes a sanctuary to reflect our highest intentions and dreams.

Hawkins By Gina Mazza Hillier S ome authors speak of the human condition so profoundly, they become iconic. Such is the case with David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD. The core premise of his groundbreaking Power vs. Force is that truth is subjective, and relative to one’s level of consciousness. He employs a protocol using kinesiology to map consciousness on a logarithmic scale that calibrates, really, the whole of the human condition over time. The Eye of the I and I: Reality and Subjectivity continue the discussion, and his eagerly awaited Truth vs. Falsehood is due for release soon. Hawkins’ own journey of transformation is astonishing. He left a successful psychiatric practice in New York at age 38 after contracting a seemingly terminal illness. “If there is a God, I ask him to help me now,” he prayed. He fell unconscious; when he awoke, “the person I had been no longer existed. There was . . . just an Infinite Presence.” Hawkins spent seven years in seclusion, meditating and studying, then reintegrated into society and began teaching others. This interview focuses on concepts contained within I: Reality and Subjectivity. Can we move from one level of consciousness to another during a lifetime? How can we catalyze this upward movement? What does it feel like to live above one’s karma? How attainable is enlightenment? ———————— Hillier: You speak about the power of surrendering to God, about spiritual development being based on “allowing” not “trying.” Is meditation the best tool for reaching this place of surrender? Hawkins: Far more rewarding is “contemplation.” Meditation tends to be separated from life—like going to church on Sunday, whereas contemplation is a way of being in the world that involves paying attention to the field rather than the content of the field. So it’s about mindfulness? Yes, it’s doing what you’re doing because that’s what you’re doing, and not for some gain. With contemplation, you turn your life into a prayer. You ask God to reveal to you what you need to understand. Contemplation brings more rapid advancement than meditation. Being on a dedicated spiritual path is not all love and light—we hazard ourselves along the way, meeting with unpleasant obstacles and traumas. That’s because you’re bringing up the negative karma. A spiritual life can be quite tumultuous because you’re pulling up what you were blanketing, ignoring and denying. At a certain level, it is all love and light. You only get into real trouble if you start seriously searching for enlightenment. It’s only temporary trouble, though. Temporary can be quite a long time! What’s practical for the average person is not to seek enlightenment, but to reach a level called “unconditional love”—to become loving and forgiving at all times, under all circumstances, towards everyone, including yourself. It’s a doable goal in this world. The world is extremely negative, and to reach unconditional love is rare: only 0.4% of the population reaches it. Can we jump levels of consciousness within a lifetime? The statistical average is to move five points in a lifetime. However, spiritually committed people can jump hundreds of points. Can we make great leaps in moments of our existence? I’ve had people jump 150 points during a lecture because they suddenly get something and, wow, it just goes. People who hit bottom do this commonly. Twelve-step groups are full of miracles, people who lived horrible lives, vicious towards everybody, selfish, and suddenly become saintly. Do they stay there? Or do we more likely experience periods of heightened states then return to our “normal, lower” state? It ebbs and flows. When you’re above your karma—when you bring to the surface what’s holding you back from progressing and you’re able to transcend these things, — you feel beatific until the next thing comes up, then you feel like you’ve crashed. You haven’t really crashed. It’s just that you’re not above your karma anymore. You’ve brought up the next layer to be worked on. This means you’re making progress. When a person is in denial, they may feel happy because nobody is pointing out to them how they’re ruining the lives of everyone around them [laughter]. So you come out of denial, go through the pain of facing what you’re facing, work out the guilt about it and forgive yourself—then life gets beautiful again . . .until the next thing comes up. This is characteristic of the whole spiritual pathway. It’s most frequently non-linear? This is normal, yes. It seems quite chaotic, you know. It’s more like the stock market—up and down. Yes, there are people who get into a happy state and stay there—at least for this lifetime. This is what you’d call a coasting lifetime. You’re satisfied with how you are and where you are. You might say it’s a spiritual rest period. We need periods of recuperation. How rare is that split second before illumination, “the final moment,” as you call it? One in 10 million people hit this level. Very often at that point, you stop functioning in the world, or you leave the world altogether. So that level is impractical? It seems that way to be the observer. Spiritually, it’s more than practical. From the world’s viewpoint you become useless, but spiritually you are powerfully effective. The higher the level of consciousness, the more powerfully you affect the collective unconscious. An unconditionally loving individual has a profound impact overall, you see. You look at this person and he’s not doing anything, but what you don’t know is that without him, the world would probably collapse [laughter]! We can’t “will” enlightenment to happen. If it’s not under the control of the will, is it related to personal karma? Yes. The mental and spiritual composite, consciousness-wise, of the average human being is quite complex. It’s made of up of 32 HolisticNetworker.com thousands of decisions, agreements, options that have been taken, it’s really quite complex to unravel, otherwise, enlightenment would be common. You talk in I: Reality and Subjectivity about the importance of spiritual teachers to “catalyze the transformation of information into subjective awareness.” That’s what they do. That’s their function. How does one find an appropriate teacher? The classic saying is “when the student is ready, the teacher appears.” People don’t need a teacher all the time. In fact, having an advanced teacher isn’t really useful early in the game. There are great periods of spiritual work that is all internal. I would advise people to read books by advanced teachers. As we evolve spiritually, various teachers appear to us at various times. You find a teacher and a teaching that you’re comfortable with. If you outgrow it, then you’ll be attracted to something else. We run the risk of meeting someone who is not integrity-based. Any advice? That’s why consciousness calibration is useful. There’s a huge mass of integrous teaching out there. You can calibrate this information yourself, or find someone who is skilled at kinesiology. One advantage of working with the teacher is having help with reframing experiences—what you call “re-contextualization.” This is very often the answer to a spiritual dilemma. The minute you reframe an experience, it changes color altogether. That’s the purpose of spiritual teaching, reading and studying—you come across a different understanding of something. As we become spiritually sophisticated, we begin to differentiate real from illusion. For example, at a certain period in your life, you’re sure money will make you happy. Then you become financially successful and your wife walks out with someone else—while you were busy getting successful, she got bored, you see? And you’re miserable! Reframing enables you to have compassion for yourself and others because you see that you did what you thought was right at the time. You mention chakra breathing as something basic we can do to increase our awareness level. Not only the exercise, but the intention behind it, tends to precipitate advancement of spiritual consciousness. Your intent to reach a higher level of understanding is in itself powerful. When you take time to [do these exercises], Spring 2005 you’re saying to God, “I’m trying to get to you, help me.” You align with God. You say “nothing is in the process of becoming; it already has its own identity, complete and perfect.” Should we forget this notion of “becoming”? Becoming is the process whereby potentiality becomes actuality when the conditions are appropriate. One condition that comes up is intention. Potentiality doesn’t become an actuality until you add the ingredient of intention. The minute you add intention, that potentiality blossoms forth as an actuality. All it was waiting for is your okay. Your definition of change is refreshing: “the emergence of potentiality out of its essence into manifestation.” Most people don’t want change. It’s really the unfolding of evolution, including one’s personal evolution. People like familiarity. They’re afraid of change and that’s alright for a period of time. Once you have self-confidence, however, you realize that you can handle whatever comes up. You begin to welcome change. Let’s talk about “witnessing”—a phenomenon that allows us to look at things from a neutral perspective and move through situations more gracefully. Witnessing is a higher state of consciousness in which no personal self is involved—it just observes life without any comment or resistance. It’s like having a personal camera and the camera is taking a picture of everything as it happens. The camera’s not involved and doesn’t feel stressed. When you’re involved, you feel stressed. If you let go of trying to change things, you reach a state where witnessing begins to happen spontaneously. The extreme opposite would be people who, for example, want to kill themselves or leave the country because Bush got reelected. From the standpoint of witnessing, that’s comical. In other words, you’re so self-indulgent that when things don’t go your way, you take all your marbles and go home. That’s kindergarten level. Talk about egocentricity [laughter]! Any insights about where we’re heading into the future? We calibrated the consciousness level on the planet from the beginning of life, on through the archeological ages, the onset of civilization and evolution of humans. We clearly see that the evolution of consciousness on the planet is now speeding up. It was flat for practically billions of years then suddenly began to rise. Now it’s rising at a very rapid rate. Because? The collective intention of mankind. We’ve crossed over 200 [on the logarithmic scale of consciousness] collectively and now we’re really moving from force into power. You see, the new paradigm of success is not money, as in the last century. Anybody can make money. To double your income, all you have to do is get a second job. The new sign of success is integrity. That’s why Martha Stewart went to prison. She didn’t have the humility to say “I made a mistake, forgive me.” When I think of her, I pray that she realizes that people of integrity are far more successful than the big, ugly boss. Now the real question is: Can you stand up under examination of your life? So that which is not integrity-based is coming to light more quickly? Yes, and it’s bringing up all the disturbances in the world. What we’re really feeling is the acceleration of the world consciousness level of mankind. As the level rises, it pulls up that which is not integrous and causes tumult. It’s a continuous process. Even though things level out at times? Only in one area. It shows up in another. For instance, Lyndon Johnson was committed to civil rights in the 60s. That brought up race riots, very tumultuous. When you move ahead in consciousness, you don’t bring about peace, necessarily. Jesus Christ said, “I did not come to bring peace, but the sword of truth.” That sword can be quite challenging. It takes courage to be spiritually committed. If we’re increasingly working on our inner divinity, and our experience of God is subjective, what is the fate of organized religion? Aspects of religion can intensify that subjective experience—like devotion and commitment, service to others, appreciation of beauty, and remembering the words of the great masters. Also, the collective intent of being part of a congregation is high. We calibrated Europe’s great cathedrals—they’re extremely high. It’s the intention, plus the beauty, plus generations of people praying in them. They’re inspirational. Religion serves as inspiration, too. There are times for it and other times when it’s not necessary.

If the statement is true, then the arm locks and resists the force. If the statement is not true, then the arm goes weak and is easily pushed down. Dr. John Diamond introduced this technique to the natural health field and popularized what is now called Behavioral Kinesiology. It has become a well-established science and it “provides, for the first time in human history, an objective basis for distinguishing truth from falsehood.” (excerpt taken from Power vs Force). About David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Hawkins has devoted his life to the spiritual evolution of mankind. He is a widely known authority within the fields of consciousness research and spirituality. Dr. Hawkins has taught worldwide at universities, institutions and to spiritual groups. He writes and teaches from the perspective of an experienced scientist, clinician, and mystic. Power vs Force The Eye of the I I: Reality and Subjectivity In Power vs Force, Dr. Hawkins describes how he used kinesiology (aka “muscle testing”) to investigate consciousness. He determined that the human experience can be placed on a scale that he labeled from 1 to 1000. At the low end of the scale are Guilt (30), Fear (100) and Anger (150). Humans experiencing this level of consciousness feel victimized by the effect of the forces of the universe. Higher on the scale are Courage (200), Willingness (310), reason (400) and Love (500). Humans experiencing life at this level feel that they are the source of their lives. At the highest end of the scale of human experience (600-1000) are the qualities that transcend duality. This book calibrates at a level of 850. In Dr. Hawkins’ second book, The Eye of the I, he discusses how human consciousness can evolve to a level of 600 and beyondinto the realms of the mystic and the sage. Dr. Hawkins himself had a spontaneous awakening experience that rendered him into a bliss consciousness beyond “normal” reality. His reprinted Q&A with students in this book provides valuable insight for spiritual seekers who wish to learn more about spiritual evolution. This book delivers a spiritual experience! It calibrates at a level of 980 on the scale of human consciousness. In the third book of the Trilogy, I: Reality & Subjectivity, Dr. Hawkins clearly explains the Path, the Obstacles, the Ego, the Emotions, and the Will. Written in an easy-to-read question and answer format, this book takes the reader as close to the Truth about Truth as can be expressed in words. Future generations will recognize that Dr. Hawkins was the first person in humankind to effectively achieve a knowingness of the nature of God and to accurately convey the Truth of that experience in verifiable words. This book propels any reader into the deeper understanding of reality. I: Reality and Subjectivity calibrates at 999.8. price: $17.95 price: $18.95 price: $14.95 Special!

If you are thinking about a different job, put your resume out. Someone may be leaving the perfect job for you. Eclipse time.....and that is all of April...is a time for change. We are restless and ready for something different. The trick is to realize that you are part of that change and not a bystander. Your Spring Stars The wind blows the seasons along. Spring is always filled with surprises: Sudden storms leap from all directions and our lakes and rivers come alive. It’s an exciting time. Even folks in northern climes, who expect more snow, know that warmth is on the way and the cold spell won’t be a long one. This spring, we begin with a Solar and Lunar Eclipse. Eclipses were frightening to the ancients. The old dramas and myths seem to repeat the warning: an eclipse may signal the end. What we must remember: for every king who lost his throne, there was another who ascended to it. For every story of loss there is a story of reconstruction and success. Which part of the myth will you hold onto? The planets are particularly fertile this spring. What or who will you give birth to? April begins with Mercury still retrograde, tangling communications until the 12th. This is not a particularly difficult retroMercury period. The planet Venus has helped to soften the frustration and tension. Who can stay annoyed when he’s smiling and chatting with everyone else stuck in line? Seriously, as retro periods go, this is a gentle one. It helps us remember what the big....and small stuff truly is. A Solar Eclipse on April 8th. The week before the eclipse is when things start to shake. Old emotional “stuff ” comes to the surface. Generally, if you long for a change, this is the time to take steps. For some, change will come at you, for most it will emerge from you. So, if you want to sell a house, this is a great time to have it on the market. Folks are When we look at the Solar Eclipse, the way we get a glimpse of this particular energy or theme is through the lunar mansion. The ancients noticed that the Moon moved across the heavens in a very even or equal path. The part of the heavens where this eclipse falls is Revati, the last of the 27 mansions. It is the end and the beginning. It is the place of wise philosophers and practical poets. It is the sense that you have been everything at some time and that all is meaningful and useful. Venus is exalted in this placement. She joins the Sun, Moon and Rahu, the point of desire, during this Solar Eclipse. This eclipse energy promises serenity; because that is what we long for most. Astrologers believe that the energy or impact of a solar eclipse is felt for a full 6 months. It is strongest where the eclipse is visible. This is an annular eclipse. It is a total eclipse, but the Moon is so far from the Earth that the apex of the Earth’s shadow cannot totally block the Sun’s light. It should be 25% visible in the southern U.S. and 75% visible in Guatemala. This eclipse comes with hope, tolerance and heightened consciousness for those who would rather have inner peace than win the argument of the day. Revati is the mansion of myth. The Hindu deity associated with this part of the heavens is Pushan—the protector of all roads and travelers. He is a kind god and promises protection for the coming months. What about the myth for our culture in America? I was lucky enough to have dinner with a man raised in Turkey. Conversation drifted to different things. He revealed a part of his culture. He said that a person in his country would not stoop to take a menial job. But when he came here, that same person would be proud of that same job and his new beginning. He said a person who lived with and was a part of the blatant corruption in another country, would come here and behave honorably. I said, “Ahh, our country’s myth is the promise that anyone, no matter where he was born or how poor, can make it...even rise to great success.” “Yes”, he said, “it is a great myth.” This month, we begin by looking at the broad picture, not the pettiness of the details. If we can do that, we are reborn with a sense of trust and optimism. We can pull out of our perceptions of status and individual limitations. Let’s not take our myths lightly. I’m sure that you will find more examples, share them generously. Venus is the planet of love. These are trying times in the world, but the planets generously offer a different perspective. The Lunar Eclipse on April 24th is a dynamic one. The Sun or ego is strong. The Moon faces it and offers light in the collective darkness. This should herald new businesses, but more surprisingly, arrive with the sound of change in oppressive nations. The winds of change are blowing. Do you believe change is possible? Entrepreneurial spirit is high this spring. This month it is pushed ahead out of necessity. April is the beginning of fresh ideas. How the Love and Money Grows: Venus, the love and money planet, is strong April 1st to the 9th. In Vedic astrology, she is exalted: peaceful and cooperative. Not driven by want, she is awakened to love and tolerance. She is gentle in this constellation and particularly philosophical. She’s interested in deepening emotion and intimacy, not just in getting what she wants. In fact, she’s not very driven at all now. Isn’t it interesting? Love and money grow side-by-side? At this time, appreciation and contentment are abundant. People are willing to invest when they feel safe. Eclipses often herald a change in direction. Money is very strong in early April. Love and daring are both beautifully balanced. continued on page 40 >> HolisticNetworker.com Spring 2005 35 Cynthia Novak Intuitive * Astrologer * Tarot-Reader Readings from the Heart Providing Detailed, Personal and Predictive Information Remind you why you are here Help you plan where you are going www.cynthianovak.com metro (817) 261-2984 New!

Everywhere in Dallas, Yoga. In the colleges and universities, high schools, churches, religious community centers, hospitals, workplaces, studios, holistic healing centers, recreation centers. Where did all this begin? And where is it today? While there seems to be an abundance of yoga programs today in Dallas, only a few short years ago there were few, if any. Recently, while waiting on my yoga student, Louise Gartner, I noticed an article from an old Dallas Times Herald hanging on the wall, in which the cover of the Sunday Magazine featured Ms. Gartner in a head stand. Yes, the cover of Parade Magazine! The year was 1964. “What? I can’t believe this!” I exclaimed to myself. “Right here in Dallas, Texas!” I could not wait to talk to her and hear of her early experiences with yoga. It was the beginning of her love affair with health and wellness in general, and yoga in particular. Dubbed by the Dallas Morning News as “Dallas’s Wellness Guru,” Louise Gartner described her introduction to yoga. It was in the early sixties, when vacationing in Mexico, that she met Indra Devi, the Russian Born writer who introduced yoga to the stars in Hollywood and authored Yoga for Americans in 1959. They instantly hit it off, and Ms. Devi came to Dallas to assist Ms. Gartner in developing a yoga program for her business and employees. Together they designed a yoga program and implemented it in Ms. Gartner’s business, the famous Pageboy Maternity fashions. That was 1964. The employees could either lie down on a mat or sit at their work stations with palms over their eyes and listen to a yoga tape by Ms. Devi. As far as Ms. Gartner recollects, there were no other businesses in Dallas, or in fact, the country which involved yoga in the workplace. Ms. Gartner sparked much interest and publicity with her attempts to improve the health of her employees and increase efficiency in the workplace. She was then, as she is today, on the cutting edge of things, making a difference and a source of great inspiration to many in Dallas and throughout the world. TAKING HER YOGA OFF THE MAT Throughout the years, Ms. Gartner has been a leading proponent of health. Her devotion to nutrition, health, and the poor inspired her to single-handedly found the Charitable Produce Center of Dallas at the North Texas Food Bank, which has to date distributed over 34 million pounds of fresh produce to the needy and hungry in North Texas. Yes, over 34 MILLION pounds of fresh produce! This Yogini truly shares her blessings and resources with those most in need. In the mid-nineties, Ms. Gartner founded the Alternative Medicine Research Foundation of Texas, underwriting programs at UT Southwestern for medical professionals and at SMU for the public. I can remember sitting in the auditorium at the medical school listening to the first panel discussion on what was then called “Alternative Medicine” and today is commonly called “Integrative Medicine.” Today, Ms. Gartner continues to practice yoga and meditation, as well as other approaches to wellness. She always has had a tremendous impact on those around her and continues to be a source of great inspiration to many.

Mark this on your calendar. Only the courageous play with fire now. This is strongest until the 15th. The love goddess has a case of PMS until May 4th. She is demanding. Don’t give in too quickly or the attraction fades. Mars, the passion planet, slides in beside Neptune the romantic. Well, romance is the best side of this duo. Denial and deception are part of their dance, too. Keep your honor in hand and waltz slowly from the 8th of April until the 20th. This is a great combo for meditation and creativity. Just know when your fingers and toes have left the bonds of this world. From May 4th until the 29th, Venus is very happy, indulgent and ready to cook your favorite dinner. In fact, it’s all too easy to gain a few pounds. After all, what goddess wants you to see her ribs? Hips were designed to sport sequins. This is a great time to get serious about love and make a happy nest. It is also a fine time to start a business or to just enjoy daily life. Enjoyment is her motto. We have to appreciate what we have to enjoy the moment. Venus is happy to lounge in the yard and listen to the sounds of birds during a spring breeze. Give her a plate of luscious fruit and a lover and she is content. Can you be content? On June 6th, the New Moon is in the most indulgent lunar mansion: Rohini. Keep a tight hold of your wallet unless you are ready to splurge. Saturn enters Sidereal Cancer. You’ll know when he comes to your constellation: you just feel heavy. Saturn is good at taking care of the old stuff. Time to clean out the bottom of your closet or your expectations. Romantic planets aren’t so favorable this month so be particularly patient with those June brides. Generally, there are no really bad or good aspects, just a month where we take care of business and use little indulgences to get through the week. The World at Large: Things are tricky Spring 2005 in early June. If you must travel on the 1st- 4th, double check your reservations and keep your inner guidance handy. This is a delicate time simply because everyone’s fuse is a little short. As I write this, Lebanon and Syria are in the news. People are taking risks and making movement for change. Could it be possible? Can things really change there....or here? Change will continue to rise to the surface while nations and people stand and are counted. This is not limited to the Middle East, but that is where the cost is so dear. Here at home, we do have enemies but I don’t foresee a terrorist attack on our soil. There are noises, but they are stopped. Sleeper cells are broken. The big news at home is the deficit and how we spend the money we have. It looks bleak for Federal programs; if you value charity give to your favorites. It’s a process of belt tightening and it won’t be pretty. We have at least a year of collective cutbacks. The dollar should improve in the fall—hopefully sooner. Think back to 1976. That was the last time we had a similar series of transits. The economy struggled, but a new industry was coming forward: Personal computers! Let’s keep our eyes ahead to see what is coming. George W. Bush. Our president has another tough series of transits this summer. Saturn, the task-master, comes to sit upon several planets in his chart. This transit will take a full 2 years. Saturn governs retirement years and responsibility. GWB continues to push relentlessly for Social Security reform, but things are stalled or even blocked until later this year. No plan looks good, and the opposing parties refuse to work together to make a viable one. At least that’s how it looks this spring. The chart of the U.S. shows real economic recovery and a process of slow rebuilding. Bush feels abandoned by his supporters who have looked at recent polls and changed direction. The reform will eventually happen, but not as quickly nor as had been expected. Expect the Social Security reforms to evolve. Bush also receives increased scrutiny about his budget. He gets what he asks for and there are positive results in the Middle East, but the scrutiny will be brutal. He has the grace of Jupiter transits this summer. He’ll cruise on through, but the waters will be choppy. He will see who is with him and who is most definitely against him. The enemies are obvious, but unsuccessful. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton comes under the axe this spring and again this fall. I guess that’s the business of being famous. The political parties continue to face off and “we the people” lose. Sorry folks, the planets this spring are charming, but political cooperation is elusive. I’ve got my fingers crossed for an evolutionary leap in April. The US will rebuild its economy. No matter how bleak it appears in the headlines, the process has begun. The folks who will be the next success stories aren’t falling to fear. They are looking for opportunity. The success myth plays out again and again. Will you embrace it? The Middle East is slowly rising up against oppression. Democracy that seemed impossible a year ago is now a toddler ready to run. What myths are being born or broken there? How will we mirror them here? ____________________________ Cynthia Novak is a professional astrologer. She can be contacted at metro 817-261-2984.

When one sees this DVD, one senses a feeling of longing that the vibration of the images and the actual sounds of water conjure. I recommend this to those who experience a lot of stress in their daily lives.” —Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of “Messages From Water” A few years ago, award-winning musician, pilot and aerial photographer, Craig Peyton, was diagnosed with Stage IV esophageal cancer. He was able to be healed with an experimental procedure involving radiation, chemo, and dietary changes, as well as with the daily help of an energetic healer. As part of his healing process, this healer (Sarah) advised him to spend a few hours a day in and on water. Craig bought a kayak and spent many months floating on the Hudson River. Inspired by the beautiful crystal photographs of water in Dr. Masaru Emoto’s book “Messages from Water”, Craig began a journey photographing the healing rhythms and qualities of water. Adding his music and nature sounds, this project became the “Spirit of Water” DVD. Share Craig’s vision and discover the Spirit of Water from high above the clouds to below the tropical ocean depths. Experience this wonderous journey filled with inspiring imagery, music and water sounds. Enjoy the natural forms of water in all its beauty as it exists in nature. Special Feature: View the video of the crystals that formed when Dr. Emoto’s lab played the music from the “Crystals” section of the Spirit of Water DVD to water and then froze the water. Some of these crystal images were also incorporated into the “Crystals” section. See how water responded to this beautiful music. Writer, producer, and musician, Craig Peyton’s critically acclaimed talents have garnered him international recognition. An instrument rated pilot, he has shot 35mm aerial footage for PBS and major motion picture studios. Through his company, EarthFlight Media Productions, Craig Peyton combines his love of music and aerial filmography to produce unique, inspiring films that capture the beauty of nature set to soothing and meditative original music.

Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for the Emotions Emotional Self-Management by Peter T. Lambrou, Ph.D. and George J. Pratt, Ph.D. The authors of Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for the Emotions, have evolved a method called Emotional Self-Management™ to eliminate painful and unproductive emotional intensity, to remove selfsabotaging blocks to success, and to install positive directions of thought and behavior. The foundations of this approach for neutralizing emotional distress and installing positive thoughts, feelings, and mental images are derived from ancient Chinese understandings of acupuncture points and from Western cognitive science. The acupuncture system accesses a system of meridian pathways through the body which convey electrical and biochemical signals. Recent research has shown that stimulation of an acupuncture point on the foot can generate similar brain activity in the visual cortex as produced by visual stimulation. Drs. Pratt and Lambrou have created a book that explains the foundations of a new branch of therapy and theory called energy psychology. The principles of energy psychotherapies such as Thought Field Therapy and the authors’ Emotional Self-Management™ are presented in a self-administered format so that readers can learn for themselves how to produce “Instant Emotional Healing”. The method incorporates techniques which can be mastered with the simple steps and the visual explanations provided in the book. Hardcover, 292pp. by George J. Pratt, Ph.D. and Peter T. Lambrou, Ph.D. This 30-minute professionally produced training video teaches you the basic method of Balanced Breathing, Correcting Polarity Reversals, and a new Streamlined Comprehensive Tap Sequence, plus the Rapid Relaxer. It is an invaluable tool that can be used again and again to address whatever emotional issues or concerns you might have. From the Authors “We want Instant Emotional Healing to give you the benefit of everything we have learned in our years of practice, teaching, and research. Consider us your coaches as you learn this new skill. Our goal is to provide you with not only the tools and the techniques, but with the encouragement and intention to achieve emotional wellbeing. We are certain that if you apply the techniques of ESM, you will clear a path to the freedom and happiness you seek.” -Peter T. Lambrou, Ph.D. and George J. Pratt, Ph.D. price: $25.95 price: $49.95 Special! Buy the book and video for just $69.95! Peter T.

He turned them all down. “Just five years before I wrote about my experience, I was homeless, with a broken neck, living in a park. I spent my days collecting cans to sell for 5 cents each just to have enough money to eat. It was important to me that this story not become Hollywood-ized,” Walsch explains. Last year, Stephen Simon, co-founder of The Spiritual Cinema Circle and veteran Hollywood producer of SOMEWHERE IN TIME, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME + 23 other features, directed Neale in the film INDIGO. While working on INDIGO, (Neale played the grandfather of an Indigo child), Walsch observed that Simon has “an extraordinarily high level of artistic integrity, vision, and willingness to collaborate,” and he finally agreed to have the CWG story told on the big screen. “For the past ten years I have dreamed of making this movie,” says Simon who will produce and direct the film. “Conversations with God will be a powerful, mystical, and surprising film. I’m delighted to announce that this film will premiere exclusively for subscribers of The Spiritual Cinema Circle,” he said. Peace is the Way – Bringing War and Violence to an End Deepak Chopra 2005, Harmony Books A s a book lover, I like to peruse the bookshelves of my friends when I visit their homes. During the past ten years there is one book that I have seen in nearly every home I have visited: Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch. With approximately seven million copies of The Conversations with God series of books in print, worldwide, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that this “spiritual classic” will soon become a feature film. Book Review Is it just me, or does there seem to be a buzz around the ideas of peace and consciousness lately? Perhaps it takes wars and earth catastrophes to open our minds to the true reality all around us - we are what we think. Deepak Chopra has caught this wave, and urges us to become conscious of our realities. Neale Donald Walsch with Stephen Simon The Spiritual Cinema Circle, which launched March 1, 2004, has quickly become America’s fastest growing DVD club. Each month subscribers receive 4 uplifting and inspiring films (a combination of shorts, documentaries and features found at film festivals around the world) on DVD, which they get to keep. The Circle will finance the $1.5 million dollar project. Gay Hendricks, who cofounded The Circle with his wife Kathlyn will Executive Produce, Simon, will direct and produce. Eric DelaBarre is writing the script. (DelaBarre won “Filmmaker of the Future” at the Newport Beach International Film Festival for writing, producing and directing his first feature, KATE’S ADDICTION. He also authored the book WHY NOT (Start Living Your Life Today) and spent six years as a writer/director/ producer on NBC’s “Law & Order.” Production begins Nov. 7, 2005 in Southern Oregon where Walsch and Simon both live. Members of The Circle will be treated to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the pre-production and production on upcoming volumes of Circle DVDs. See, www.spiritualcinemacircle.com for more infomation on the film. Arielle Ford lives in La Jolla, CA with her husband and cats (otherwise known as angels in fur coats) Chopra writes in depth about the way of peace. He defines this as a world devoid of fear-based reactions; a society that awakens from the numbing of violence. Chopra writes: “What has to end is the idea of war, the habit of war, the numbing constancy of war.” To Chopra, finding the way of peace is to let love, understanding and compassion out of its cage. He discusses the widespread notion of conflict, as it is tangled throughout society, and won’t be solved one issue at a time. It is a paradigm shift at the soul level. To aid our shift in consciousness, he includes a daily program to bring peace into our lives. This is truly a well-thought out book – and impressingly current. In fact, I read it very quickly. Some of my favorite chapters include: “The Spectrum of Them,” which discusses the theory of “Us verses Them,” showing there is no difference between the two; “Does God Want War”, including the seven stages of spirituality, and “The Metaphysics of Terror” explaining that terrorists don’t view themselves as evil, so why are we judging? At the end of the book, Chopra invites us all to gather into peace – to take a moment and ask ourselves: “If conflict wasn’t here, how would your life be?” Catch the wave and get on the peace train today!
