Have you ever heard of posting your book promotion or launch party in the classifieds of a newspaper? That was old school. Now, you can post your events on Craigslist.

I wish I'd thought about this, but I can't say I did. Instead I'm directing you to another website called Indies Unlimitied.

There he explains how to do a craigslist event--though for me it was a bit different than his step-by-step instructions. Me--I throw you into the mix and say "Good luck!" 

I'm trying it for my author's event at the Mystic Journey Bookstore signing of "Forever and 365 Days".

As Summer Approaches, Thoughts About The Cycle Of Life

As the season changes once again and summer approaches, I can’t help but think of the cycle of Life. I’m cheerfully looking at my garden through my large office patio doors. Tomatoes, jalapenos, and zucchini planted firmly in the ground ready to sprout; small buds appearing with the promise of a delicious meal. Oh, how I enjoy seeing this growth, the unfoldment of nature - reflecting the workings of mind.

Everything you see is a visible expression of your Consciousness; a mirror image of your innermost soul substance. ‘Thought in action’ you might say, acting out your own personal movie. However, in your life’s play you are the writer, director, and actor. You are in charge.

Looking back at ‘winter’, the dormant or reflective time, has passed. A new awakening is in the air. Winter represents a resting period in the mental, a time-out in order to allow rejuvenation shown forth in nature. Renewal, revitalization, refueling of Spirit, and getting ready for the abundant explosion of more Life!

Reminiscing about the gentle awakening of spring; representing the infancy state of Consciousness with its germs sprouting eagerly, unfolding tiny flora and curiously peeking out of mother earth’s fertile ground.  Still small, yet powerful seeds of Life are always pushing upwards towards the light - just like our Soul wants to push upwards towards God’s glory. The gentle warmth of spring embalms our Spirit and gives renewed hope to a new day.

And here we are approaching the full splendor of summer. We embrace the life sustaining light and warmth of the sun. We fully absorb this invigorating force and feel the growth our Spirits have achieved.

Youth with its unlimited strength and fearlessness! The ‘summer of your mind’ is the time to reason and to make sound choices, the time to pave your path. Enjoyment of the moment so desperately yearned for; this is the season to define who you are and to choose the road you will travel.

What does the fall season represent? Autumn reflects ‘maturity of the mind’, fruition, fruit at its best! At last we have come to an understanding of our true purpose in Life. We have reached yet another stage in our unfolding process. This season is the culminating mental state that defines who we are at this moment in time.

And so we can rest once again!

Namaste**

I talk a lot about the Allness of Good in my teachings and writings. A ‘higher good’ that inherently is within all of us, because we stem from the all-good source, our mother/father, Universal Consciousness, which many name God or Higher Power. However, no matter what name you have given this power, the fact remains that we have to learn to use our inner energy in a positive way, before we can hope to change our mental dispositions, personalities, and moods. To reach the 'higher good' takes a rigorous mental housecleaning and an honest approach to allow yourself to open up to life. It takes a willingness to learn and complete dedication. It takes trust.

Blocking your inner energy makes you listless, fearful and tired. To release those old mental blocks you need to allow yourself to take one last look at this past occurrence that caused this blockage, which was nothing than a ton of garbage that you allowed to affect you. Look at this past event, don't dwell on it, just observe it – and then let go of the emotional attachment, your sense of 'it happened to me'. Take yourself out of this self-inflicted bondage. You are not a victim.

Say: 'I am letting go, I do not want any memory of hurt, lack, and despair in my life. I want positive energy only. I am free.'

What is this positive energy? Enthusiasm, love, vitality, vim and vigor, awe of life, are other names for this vital life vibration. 'Looking forward to' a new day or new experience rather than dreading what's coming up. Thoughts of confidence will make you feel strong and vibrant. Open your eyes to the beauty of Nature and a sense of awe will rush through your body, as a response to your mental openness. Stay open when you meet new people, be neutral when you encounter a new experience that you are unfamiliar with, and release blocked up mental energies as part of the process.

Every thought you think sends out energy into the Universe. Some are strong and some are weak, but this vibration or energy will attract or reject the corresponding effect. Positive, energetic thoughts will produce positive and energetic vibrations and help you to open up your mental blockage. This positive force will lift your Spirit to where it belongs - Up!

I like to call our personal vision for our future 'grounded dreams'. They are dreams that have their basis in reality and are built on a firm foundation. Dreams will come true when built on understanding. Like a new house, our mental foundation has to be constructed on solid rock, not on shift sand, in order to last a life time.

Your 'higher good', which is your understanding of truth with its corresponding brilliant effect, will be in reach once you have done your diligent exercise and opened up to Universal Goodness. Allow the Allness of Good to rule your life. Time to practice!

I’ve had this plan for a long time. When I would go to metaphysics class, starting in my 20’s, and listen to my teacher, I thought: “That’s what I’m going to do when I retire.” And yes, it took thirty more years…

I originally started teaching after several years of studying the works of William W. Walter – The Walter Method/ Eschatology. There was a specific, rigorous plan to this study, step by step and it was very methodical. The group was, and still is, a closed society and newcomers are not approached. ‘They’ had to find us. Advertising was out of the question. “When the time is right, the teacher (or student) will appear”, I was told.

It felt special at the time. I had found this private study and I was eager to find out what it was all about. The concepts of ‘all is mental’ and ‘all is good’ were intriguing, and the promise that this was not a religion or cult appealed to me even more.

There were books, booklets, and masses of papers to read and ponder, keeping me busy for a long time. However, the most intriguing and best work of Mister Walter’s writings is certainly his collection of the metaphysical diagnosis, which had been added to and rewritten by several of the Board’s Directors.

In class, the reading of other materials from other metaphysical writers was strongly discouraged. It was explained to me, that the reason for this was ‘not to be deterred’ from the straight path of finding the Truth; we were not to be confused by too many varying concepts and ideas. I, however, wanted to hear, listen and learn and I wanted to read all there was to be read. In hindsight this constraint was a good thing for beginners. It gave the student a solid foundation.

With this basis of a serious and sincere study, I continued to read everything I could get my hands on in the world of ‘thought is causative’. There was an abundance of good reading materials and I was sifting, reasoning and chewing on the ideas until they made sense, and conformed to my proper mental attitude. I also discovered Eastern philosophies and absorbed all teachings of New Age thinking with a hunger that was incredible. I was a living sponge.

Teaching ‘Right Thinking’, no matter what the study or lessons are called, is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had and still have. Learning about the Truth and to realize that all religions, teachings, the writings of the ancient wisdoms and New Age ideas, are in principle the same, was a great awakening. They are all grounded in the searching for Spirit, Higher Power, Universe, God, Consciousness, or the other names given to this all-inclusive limitless Power. The essential concept is that we are Souls, spiritual beings, and that our thoughts, conscious awareness, beliefs, and life attitudes shape our experiences. We are all striving to go ‘up’ in the scale of being.

Being a teacher also means being a student. You must be open to new ideas and concepts. You must to act as a mental receiver, absorbing all that is presented to you every minute of your waking hours. Take it in, reason about it, sift the right from the wrong, stay on the good side only, and make sure that your feelings are kept on the right side at all times.

Writing is part of this awakening. Putting the thoughts down on paper and reading them over and over again, clarifies the picture and allows you to make the necessary corrections. It teaches you patience and diligence.

How blessed am I, and sharing my experience will only add to this blessing!
