BURSTING THE BODY LIGHT -VIOLET FLAME OF FORGIVENESS MONTHLY WORLD PEACE BREATH MEDITATION


Our intention for this month created exactly what one of our participants wanted to create for herself. Mariquita is 9 years young. She was worried that she would have a particular teacher at school this year who was not very compassionate. We talked to her about being fearless and visualizing the perfect teacher for herself. We talked about how we could be fearless in our fear. Our intent for this month was: “WE VISUALIZE FEARLESSNESS FOR HUMANITY; THAT ALL ACTIONS BE DRIVEN BY LOVE. As a result, Mariquita created for herself a very loving couple with a new born baby as her teachers, The woman teaches the morning class and the man teaches the afternoon. What a great manifestation of intent.

Please join us the first Sunday of each month. We gather at 3 pm rocky mountain time, we take time to share, and breathe using BBL -VFF breath/meditation and then we usually have a fabulous baked goodie. You can join us wherever you are with BBL - VFF breath/ meditation. Bursting the Body Light - Violet Flame of Forgiveness. Victory to us! Jai Ma!

THE GOD THAT YOU ARE
Inspirations from Aq'naton Ben-Isha
Quick Inspiration and Meditation


Your most powerful expression of Oneness begins here, now, in your life. From that place and that place alone will global and cosmic oneness blossom into the eternal lotus of truth. Coming Home: Living in the Radiant Oneness of the God That You Are There is much talk of Oneness these days. It's a powerful concept. But what does it mean? Does it mean that we are returning to that amorphous, undifferentiated blob of energy out of which all emerged at the time of "separation"? Does it mean an end to individuality as we now know it? No, it does not. Does it mean that you and I and everyone will merge into some homogenized super-being? No, it does not.

Thomas Wolfe's most famous words, "You can't go home again," apply here. Yes, we are going home. We're just not going back to the home we left behind at the time of separation. As Wolfe might point out, that home does not exist anymore in the way it did when we left it behind. It has changed. You have changed. I have changed. We now vibrate at higher frequencies. And this home into which we are moving is a place of higher resonance, a place of Divine Purpose and Power, a place of eternal knowingness, a place of God Realization.

What is God Realization? It's the journey we all travel, some more consciously than others, as we merge in sacred union with the fullness of our Divine Potential, with the God That We Are, each in our own way. Yes, there is much talk about oneness. Most of that talk focuses on all of us joining in a wondrous communion of light, creating a Heaven on Earth in which we all dwell together. It's an awesome concept that, while true, centers on externals - the notion of all of us forming a brilliant, interconnected mosaic. In energetic terms, of course, that is already true.

You are a multidimensional energy matrix that is part of a larger matrix of which I am also a part. The hundredth monkey syndrome, in which a shift in one being activates a similar shift in a seemingly unrelated individual tens of thousands of miles away, speaks most eloquently to that. The Internet, which has brought you and me together in our own communion of light, is another powerful representation of the truth of our interconnectedness, of our oneness. Globalization, for all some might express concern over its local consequences, is another expression of how we are moving more fully and forcefully into oneness.

And yet, for all the truth and power of this external oneness, we all know that nothing truly exists outside of ourselves. Therefore, our most powerful expression of oneness begins within each of us. Your most powerful expression of oneness begins here, now, in your life. From that place and that place alone will global and cosmic oneness blossom into the eternal lotus of truth. Just as the planet upon which we live is an agglomeration of billions of people and other beings all forming a oneness we call Mother Earth, so you are your own oneness.

You, as the seemingly single individual reading these words, are a collection of billions of cells, memories, thoughts, aspects, gifts, skills, personalities, factions, lights, communities, political parties, angels, devils, closeted skeletons and assorted other energies - all cohabiting one body physical, spiritual, emotional and energetic. Some of those aspects get along fine. Some are at war. Some are out in the open. Some you have kept so deeply hidden that even you have lost conscious awareness of their existence. Yet all form part of you. And the extent to which they all come together in a peaceable oneness within you is the same extent to which you find peaceable oneness in your home, your community, your nation and your planet.

The message for me and you is that until we acknowledge and embrace all parts of ourselves, there can be no oneness, no coming home, for us or the planet. We all have parts of ourselves we would rather keep out of sight, pushed to the back of the darkest closet we can find. But here's the thing: the more we try to hide or suffocate those parts of ourselves, the more they will act up, act out and attempt to sabotage our journey home. If you want to see and experience Heaven on Earth, the only way is to allow all parts of you to reunite into the holiness and wholeness of your full self - your Greater Self, I call it.

The only way is be the shepherd who calls all the sheep back into the fold, who loves every member of the flock into the oneness of communion. It doesn't matter whether the sheep are black, white, green or gray, whether they're compliant or rebellious, whether they are old or young, fearful or fearless, helpful or not. They are all parts of you, and if you cast any one aside, you cast aside a part of yourself and you sabotage all attempts at oneness, inner or outer.

If you broke your arm, would you cut if off because it caused you pain and could no longer do what you expected of it? Or would you nurture it back into wholeness? If your child is mischievous, do you cast that child out or do you love that little one back into family union? The same is true of the fearful, pain-causing, sabotaging aspects of yourself. Don't exile them. Don't annihilate them. This is not about ego death. For your ego is an important part of your wholeness. This is not about death and separation. It's about union and communion, about bringing all of your selves - your child-selves, your ego-selves, your smaller selves, your frightened selves - back into the fold of the oneness that you are.

It's about remembering that your God beingness comprises all that you are. And that that allness makes up the very riches and richness that gives your life texture, meaning and aloha. You have many gifts and skills, many talents and assets. Some may not seem related. But as you call in your sense of purpose, as you awaken to the fullness of your vision, it's incumbent on you to pull together all those gifts and talents, to open to the ways in which they can come home for you into their own oneness.

My conscious spiritual opening came through writing and my earliest spiritual work out in the world involved teaching writing. At some point, I recognized that the work I did with writing was a metaphor for living and I began to move away from writing classes and workshop to more expansive teachings. As the years progressed, I would waver back and forth - from teaching writing to more metaphysical work, and then back again. My web site reflected this apparent lack of clarity, as its focus and contents shifted one way and then the other. One day, I would be afraid that my "straight" potential writing students would be put off by my metaphysics. The next, I would dismiss the writing as irrelevant to those more spiritually inclined.

This wavering back and forth continued until I realized that I could no longer compartmentalize myself. I was a unit of oneness. My gifts were aspects of that oneness. And if I didn't come into integration (integrate = into great), I was crippling and dishonoring both my gifts and myself. I am many things, as are you. And our call - yours and mine - is to bring all of those gifts and aspects home into the radiant Oneness that we already are, if we but open more fully to it.

Be the Oneness that you are. Be the God That You Are in full expression of that Oneness. Open the doors, windows and gates of your beingness and welcome in - welcome back - all parts of you. Welcome them back as the father welcomed home the prodigal son, the small aspect of self that was raised and transformed by his experiences. Welcome back those aspects of you that you deem good, those that you deem bad and those that you deem ugly. Welcome them back knowing that they are none of those. They are you. And you are a glorious, radiant, wondrous aspect of the Universal Oneness, a powerful, empowered, mighty, all-loving aspect of the eternal All That Is, the God That You Are, the God That I Am, the God That Is All That Is.

Meditation

Note: "Ha" is the Hawaiian word for breath. "Mana" is the Hawaiian word for spirit. What is the name of the Rose? The name of the Rose is HA - the breath eternal - each petal a separate lifetime coming together in simultaneity, in the infinite nowness of the One Moment, all lines existing as one, coming together in the multidimensional flowering of the Rose Eternal, the Cosmic HA.

Breathe in and see the Rose that you are in the HA of this moment - all your lives existing as one, at once, creating a sacred pattern that is as old as time itself - older, for time is a recent phenomenon, and the geometry of the Rose has always been. Where there was no time, the Rose was already in bloom, its delicate petals already coming together in opening and openness that defied and still defies reason. The Rose is the lotus. And each blossom, protected by thorns, illuminates the Earth, radiating its energy out in the infinite reaches of the cosmos, on the infinite rays of the One that is All.

It is time now to remove the thorns, to eliminate the pain that has so long been associated and affiliated with beauty, the pain of beauty. Free the Rose. Free the beauty. Free the mana. Free the HA. Let the Rose breathe unencumbered, unfettered, unchained. Let the energy move through it - unstopped, unblocked, unstoppable. The time is now. The age of the Rose has returned. Open your heart to it, for your heart is the Rose and in opening to it, you open to yourself and to the oneness that is the one HA, the one breath, the Cosmic Breath. What is the name of the Rose? The name of the Rose is HA. The name of the Rose is now. The name of the Rose is forever.

………………..

Aq’naton’s message of Oneness is deeply inspirational. It is awesome to know and believe that indeed we as a population are One with All That Is. This is Truth for me, Kel and many we know. Yet there are still so very many of us that appear numb and asleep to who we really are.

Those still sleeping believe they are having to do life alone apart from their Creator-Creatrix. We as a peoples have many out pictures of this belief in separation. The article that follows speaks to one such out picture. It may be the case for you or some of your loved ones. Read the article that follows Fit and Trim to gain bit a bit of understanding how we created this and how we can begin to uncreate it.

ROADBLOCKS TO BEING FIT AND TRIM


Have you noticed that as we live in the 21st century, health and wellness is becoming the 'in' thing. Ever wondered why, with the heightened awareness of being healthy, 1 out of 2 Americans are overweight, and 1 out of 3 are obese. In fact, 1 out of 5 children are obese. If we are all eating 99% fat free food, why are more than 60% of the western world either obese or overweight?

There seems to be several roadblocks that make paving our way to wellness difficult. They are real and they are working. Never before in our history have we as a nation been so fat! And it's not just about how you look. It's about your life and how long you will live.

Let's look at some of these roadblocks and how changing our thinking can help pave the way to weight loss:

1. Marketing for profit not fact! The snack food industry's main concern is profit. Last year alone the snack food industry racked up $50 billion in sales. Let's face it, when taste and nutrition collide, taste always wins. These types of foods such as soft drinks, potato chips, corn chips, peanuts, french fries, pretzels, cookies or candy bars, where taste prevails and you can't just eat one are know as trigger foods. This occurs at the expense of our health and wellness. Nutritional research has documented that these types of foods, high in carbohydrates, trigger the brain to crave more, thus the name 'trigger foods'. Trigger foods are a huge roadblock when trying to lose weight and get healthy. Learn to have control over these foods rather than allow them to control you.

2. Diet-hype! Diets today are confusing! Creators of such diets will tell you anything to sell you everything! One reason diets fail is because they may promise something that doesn't really happen. They may offer a little secret that you can do some trick like eliminate all sugars or fats and you'll keep the weight off. When the weight doesn't come off it becomes frustrating and discouraging. You move onto the next diet fad you've heard about and the cycle starts over again. The fact is, there IS no secret to weight loss and maintenance. If you are eating a diet with the appropriate protein requirements and the right carbohydrates, avoiding trigger foods and staying within your resting metabolic rate you will lose weight. It is always about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.

3. Obscene proportions! Have you ever noticed when you eat at a restaurant servings are no longer a plateful but rather a platterful? Portions have exploded since the 70's. There is constant competition in the restaurant industry today. Why are portion sizes expanding? People may spend $6 on a dinner but they want to take home a doggie bag. They want a big portion so they feel they have got their money's worth. Many would agree that if they went to a restaurant and got a small portion, they would not be satisfied and would likely go to another restaurant next time. This leads to constant competition for quantities of food for low cost. And the cheapest way to make more food is to add more hidden fat and sugar. In fast food restaurants, supersized servings of french fries and sodas are often two to five times larger than when they were first introduced. Jumbo portions appeal to our pocketbooks, but assault our waistlines! It really contributes to the obesity epidemic!

4. Unrealistic Expectations! Fashion focuses on beauty, glamour and extreme thinness. Less than 10% of the population genetically fit the professional model height and weight charts. Yet men and woman are sold this image everyday. They are told this is normal, this is attainable, but it is a lie! It is psychologically unhealthy. The fact is 70% of women feel depressed after looking at pictures of models. When trying to reach a model-like shape as your goal it often feels unattainable and impossible, it makes weight loss and wellness more difficult and frustrating. Learn what your healthy weight range for your height is and strive for that!

5. Instant Quick Fix Society! Ironically, society is perhaps one of the biggest roadblocks to wellness today. We live in a quick fix, lipo-suction, instant-coffee convenience world. We are a society that craves fitness, beauty and loathe fatness. We want instant, convenient results. We don't welcome delayed gratification. Lipo-suction, while definitely helpful for some, in general terms is the dieter's instant coffee. The truth is, quick fixes often are short term. For example, on a typical diet, losing 45 pounds in 3 weeks is not nearly as healthy as losing it more slowly and stands a better chance of being put back on. Patience and understanding can be a virtue and mean permanent wellness.

These roadblocks now find themselves not only in America but extending into countries all around the world. Take a look at a few world wide facts: Countries that traditionally had healthy diets, like Japan, now have an incidence of obesity that has increased from 5% to 20%, suggesting that the obesity epidemic doesn't solely lie in America.

In poor countries around the world, as soon as they are introduced to American foods, the richer classes become obese and the poorer classes remain malnourished. In fact, in some parts of Africa, obesity afflicts more children than malnutrition! McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Hungry Jacks, and Pizza Hut are only a few of the fast food companies leading western countries into obesity.

There are 158,000,000 Type 2 diabetics in the world today. This disease is closely related to obesity, because 95% of diabetics are obese. It is estimated that in the next ten years, there will be 212,000,000 diabetics in the world and 80% of all heart disease will occur in Type 2 diabetics.

Wellness is a way of life that changes everything; the way you feel, the way you relate to people, the way you look, and how long you will be around for your family. The problem is people don't know what to do. With these roadblocks they are overwhelmed, they think there is no answer. The good news is there are answers! Begin by educating yourself with a few health and nutrition tips. It doesn't have to be difficult. Weight loss and wellness is a process that not only gives you physical results but changes your thinking and ultimately your behavior forever. With the right information, there is no roadblock strong enough to stop you on your way to lasting good health!

What follows is another article that speaks to causality in overweight and obesity. Most folks have not recognized this connection and it is a really important connection to make. Addressing our emotions, instead of stuffing them and stuffing ourselves with food and fake food, allows us freedom to be healthy.

ANGER: TO CONTROL OR TO LEARN
By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.


Many of us will do anything to avoid another’s anger, yet may be quick to anger ourselves. Many of us dread another’s anger yet continue to use our own anger as a way to control others.

Let’s take a deeper look at what generates our anger and how we can learn from it rather than be at the mercy of it.

The feeling anger can come from two different places within us. Anger that comes from an adult, rational place can be called outrage. Outrage is the feeling we have when confronted with injustice. Outrage mobilizes us to take appropriate action when harm is being done to ourselves, others, and the planet. Outrage is a positive emotion in that it moves us to action – to stop crime and violence, clean up the environment, and so on. Outrage comes from a principled place within, a place of integrity, caring and compassion.

Anger can also come from a fearful adolescent place within – from the part of us that fears being wrong, rejected, abandoned, or controlled by others, and feels intensely frustrated in the face of these feelings. This part of us fears failure, embarrassment, humiliation, disrespect, and helplessness over others and outcomes. When these fearful feelings are activated, this adolescent part, not wanting to feel helpless, may move into attacking or blaming anger as a way to attempt to control a person or a situation. Blaming anger is always indicative of some way we are not taking care of ourselves, not taking responsibility for our own feelings and needs. Instead of taking care of ourselves, we blame another for our feelings in an attempt to intimidate another to change so that we will feel safe.

Blaming anger creates many problems in relationships. No one likes to be blamed for another’s feelings. No one wants to be intimidated into taking responsibility for another’s needs. Blaming anger may generate blaming anger or resistance in the other person, which results in a power struggle. Or, the person at the other end of blaming anger may give in, doing what the angry person wants, but there is always a consequence in the relationship. The compliant person may learn to dislike and fear the angry person and find ways to passively resist or to disengage from the relationship.

When blaming anger comes up, the healthy option is neither to dump it on another in an attempt to control them, nor to squash and repress it. The healthy option is to learn from it.

Our anger at another person or situation has much to teach us regarding personal responsibility for our own feelings and needs. As part of the Inner Bonding process that we teach (see our free course at www.innerbonding.com), we offer a three-part anger process that moves you out of feeling like a frustrated victim and into a sense of personal power.

The Anger Process:

The Anger Process is a powerful way to release anger, as well as to learn from the source of the anger.

Releasing your anger will work only when your intent in releasing it is to learn about what you are doing that is causing your angry feelings. If you just want to use your anger to blame, control and justify your position, you will stay stuck in your anger. This three-part anger process moves you out of the victim-mode and into open-heartedness.

1. Imagine that the person you are angry at is sitting in front of you. Let your angry wounded child or adolescent self yell at him or her, saying in detail everything you wish you could actually say. Unleash your anger, pain and resentment until you have nothing more to say. You can scream and cry, pound a pillow, roll up a towel and beat the bed. (The reason you don't tell the person directly is because this kind of cathartic, no-holds-barred "anger dump" would be abusive to them.)

2. Now ask yourself who this person reminds you of in your past - your mother or father, a grandparent, a sibling? (It may be the same person. That is, you may be mad at your father now, and he is acting just like he did when you were little.) Now let your wounded self yell at the person from the past as thoroughly and energetically as in part one.

3. Finally, come back into the present and let your angry wounded self do the same thing with you expressing your anger, pain and resentment toward your adult self for your part in the situation or for treating yourself the way the people in parts one and two treated you. This brings the problem home to personal responsibility, opening the door to exploring your own behavior.

By doing the anger process instead of trying to control others with your anger, you de-escalate your frustration while learning about the real issue – how you are not taking care of yourself in the face of whatever another is doing or in the face of a difficult situation.

Whenever anger comes up, you always have the choice to control or to learn.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE ON ANGER
by Young Toni Delgado


Unless you come from a family where being loud and outspoken is a part of the family’s culture or orientation, you probably find that other people’s anger or outbursts are either frightening or offensive to you. A great many of us have a difficult time with our own and other people’s anger. It is one of the many emotions we shun, deny or just plain make wrong.

Anger is a reaction-response that is secondary in nature. Usually another emotional thought precedes it. We are usually unable to catch this first emotional thought, but when we dive into anger we notice it, because it is so strongly felt within us. Some examples of primary emotional thoughts are: having our feelings hurt by something that someone says, not having a need met--like feeling ignored, overlooked, taken for granted. When we don’t catch this first thing, we jump into anger.

Underneath all anger is a fear of some kind. We have tons of fears. We fear being disapproved of, we fear being rejected, we fear speaking the real truth, we fear being judged, we fear we are not enough, we fear being betrayed, we fear we are not loved, we fear being made wrong, and on and on and on ad infinitum.

Know that when anger comes up, the thing, person or situation that you believe is causal really isn’t. Take a minute to slow way down, breathe several deep inhalations and exhalations and say to yourself , “Ok, so what am I really, truly angry about?’ Breathe some more and see what comes up for you. When you can get the bigger picture, you have started to de-escalate your mind-body space…in other words you have already started to change your position or reaction-response.

Our anger and fear are not wrong, nor are they right. They just are. And they are a part of ourselves that has long been denied. They are part of our will, our emotional body. We cannot progress nor can we evolve unless we begin to embrace our will, our emotional body. We must stop judging emotional thoughts that we and others have. This is a huge part of our learning now.

When we suppress our emotional thoughts, because we or others have judged them to be inconvenient, bothersome, or wrong, we stop our energy. All energy loves to move and move it must. And energy is exactly what our emotional thoughts are….pure and simple energy. When you swallow your anger or fear, it does not go away. It stays within you or you (unconsciously) give it away and wherever it lands, it will absolutely create. And it almost always creates exactly what we do not want.

The Earth, Our Mother has been holding Humanity’s denied anger, rage, fear, terror and most of our other denied emotional thoughts for way too long. What do you think volcanic eruptions, tornados, hurricanes, floods, droughts are all about?

We have for too long not known what to do with our emotional thoughts. In this day and age, we have no excuse for not taking responsibility for how we feel, think and believe. We must see the connection we have with all of Life and recognize that we cannot continue to play dumb. WE ARE ONE and every thought and feeling we each have, affects the ALL.

There are many ways to address your fears and your angers. There are a variety of technologies to help you own and release blame, kill, hurt and revenge. How are we ever going to eradicate war, when so many of us have kill underlying our emotional thoughts whenever anyone disagrees with us or angers us?

Thought alone cannot change our reality. We must incorporate another power to make greater change. Breath is such a champion. Upgrading the power of your Mind thru Breath can create Heaven On Earth quicker. Are you willing to help create a New Higher Order for yourself and all of Humanity? Are you willing to acknowledge and honor your will--your emotional body?

The two exercises that follow are a starting ground. These can change your life for the better. They can help you honor yourself and help you learn to stop judging yourself and others in responding to life as we do in our emotional thoughts.

TWENTY CONNECTED BREATHS:

This exquisitely short breath cycle will calm, center and relax you into the present moment of now. It was developed by Leonard Orr, Father of Rebirthing. It has been taught globally to individuals, families, organizations and even the United Nations.

1) Turn off your phone and take five (minutes). Notice how your body-mind-breath are.

2) Count on your fingers 4 short inhalations and exhalations, connecting each breath and then 1 long full relaxed inhalation and exhalation. This is I set. Do 4 sets. (4 short and 1 long, 4 times for a total of 20 breaths.

3) Go back to “normal” breathing and notice how you feel. As you begin doing this exercise, only do it once a day unless you have been doing other forms of pranayama (breath control). After a few days to a week, do it more often--several times a day.

BASIC THOUGHT MEDITATION:

This process allows us to acknowledge our emotional thoughts and recognize that this energy can move within us to create ease, acceptance, calm and confidence that we are capable of championing our emotional thoughts. This process also allows us to accept responsibility for our manifestations, since all emotional thought create for us.

1) Presenting emotional thought: THE THING I DISLIKE THE MOST ABOUT MY LIFE RIGHT NOW IS________________________. (i.e. feeling angry). Check out and see if you can feel where that energy is in your body. Some folks can feel where it is and some cannot. THEN DO 20 CONNECTED BREATHS.

2) Neutral Statement: IT IS OK THAT THE THING I DISLIKE OR HATE THE MOST ABOUT MY LIFE RIGHT NOW IS ________________(i.e. feeling angry).

Even if it does not feel ok, make this statement. The subconscious does not know the difference between truth and lie. By making this statement, you allow the possibility and your state changes.

Feel your body. DO TWENTY CONNECTED BREATHS.

3) Gratitude Statement: I AM GRATEFUL THAT THE THING I HATE OR DISLIKE THE MOST ABOUT MY LIFE RIGHT NOW IS_____________BECAUSE_____________. (I.e. feeling angry/ Because in owning the anger, I can find out what lies beneath it and change how I feel about the situation with this technique. I can then be at choice and not controlled by my anger).

This is where the learning comes in. What is the lesson you are getting out of this creation? Look for the bottom line here. Dig a bit to find it.

Feel your body. DO TWENTY CONNECTED BREATHS.

If you feel incomplete at this point, keep breathing. You may choose to do the process again with the same or similar emotional thought. If you feel dizzy or light headed, know you are releasing a lot of old conditioning. Be grateful and keep on breathing.

Victory, or honor, to the Universe!


"We honor the Universe by respecting it and consciously seeking to live in harmony with it and its Creator. By learning self-discipline and an inner balance that comes with a degree of detachment from the hurly-burly and excitement of the 'real world,' we can slowly, through experiment and experience, establish new patterns of thoughts and actions which put us into harmony with the world around us."

Taken from I am Harmony by Radhe Shyam

"You should seek harmony in everything you do."

GRATITUDE FOR CHALLENGES


"While we are on earth we cannot escape hardships, so, once and for all, decide to put to use those methods which will enable you to confront these trials more successfully. First, in the face of each difficulty, instead of complaining and crying out, begin by calming yourself. Then reflect and ask yourself: ‘What have the Lord and all my heavenly friends planned for me? What do they want me to achieve?' Gradually a light will dawn, and you will understand that they want you to become hardier, more patient and more intelligent. In doing so, not only do you cease to worry or rebel, but you even become grateful. You give thanks because you sense that in these trials you discover materials that enrich you. As for the virtues that heaven is urging you to acquire, with this attitude you obtain them much more rapidly. " Omraam Mikhaλl Aοvanhov.

DANCING WITH DEATH THRU SENILITY INTO ETERNALITY
by Young Toni Delgado
We have been conditioned to believe that senility is a frightful place because we believe it is the end of our productivity as a being. We believe it is the experience that precedes death and we are loathesome to it. Senility can come to an individual at any time in their lives. It does not just occur to the elderly. It can happen in your thirties or younger.

What is important to know is that it absolutely can be overcome! I have done it! Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray and others have done it. Leonard says that senility is the final exam of the human condition. That sounds and feels right. You must however, have the tools and psychological preparation to outlast it. Read my book and learn how.

Order your book today online at barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com or borders.com or iuniverse.com Ordering from iuniverse.com supports us more. Thanks! Folks in Las Cruces, NM can buy a copy at Hastings.
