A Next Step...light center for emotional
healing
Vol 60 -Addendum- September, 2005
In Truth, Simplicity Love and Service
FEATURES:
Dear Friends of the Light,
I know many of you have had an uncomfortable week
emotionally, not always certain why. For me, even
though major events of a personal nature occurred in
my life this week, it seems that my grief and sadness
have been greater and deeper than I would have
expected.
It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that the
events in New Orleans had added an extra layer of
grieving to my days and nights.
We're told again and again to open our hearts, to
feel, to be the vulnerable self wherein lies our true
power.
At the same time, as the empaths most of us are at
source, it can feel overwhelming to open so
completely, to feel so fully, to take in so much of
what is around us.
If this rings true for you, I invite you to begin a
new practice: detached compassion. You already know
this in other aspects of your life. If you have a
healing practice of any sort, you know that you cannot
take on your client's pain and still be an effective
aid in his or her whole-making.
Nor can you be of assistance if you allow yourself to
shut down.
This is even truer in a regional, national or global
tragedy.
As we try to integrate the human tragedy now playing
itself out on the US Gulf Coast, it's difficult not to
feel the pain of all those so near by (if you're in
the Americas).
However, if you allow yourself to be crippled by that
pain, you help no one.
And so, even as we pray for those now suffering so
deeply, let us pray for also ourselves that we might
remain whole and detached enough in our love and
compassion to be of practical and energetic
assistance.
Lord God of My Beingness, let my divine heart hold in
its embrace all who suffer, all who are in pain, all
who are in distress, all who are feeling sadness,
grief and loss - in New Orleans, in the Middle East,
in Africa and everywhere.
Let my Divine Heart open as well to the stress, pain
and discomfort of our Earth Mother as she readjusts,
realigns and recalibrates her life and beingness to
hold the higher vibrations we are all calling in to
ourselves at this time.
Let me be the compassionate vehicle for divine love
that I am, while retaining my emotional and
vibrational integrity. Let me activate the filters of
divine light around me that keep me in oneness within
myself even as I reach out to assist others -
physically, emotionally and vibrationally.
I pray for all who are in pain in all kingdoms of
consciousness - human, animal, mineral and those we do
not yet recognize as conscious - and I pray for the
Earth as well, that all might move through their
physical and vibrational shifts in ways that minimize
distress, yet remain in the highest good for all.
So be it. And so it is.
Blessings to you, wherever you are,
Mark David Gerson

Hello, Friends!
Om Namah Shivaya
I've just been having quite a few discussions with
several people about keeping the vibration at a high
level no matter what is going on around us. We have
the tools with Truth, Simplicity, Love and Service,
plus that amazing Om Namah Shivaya weapon, right? No
need to go around being sad or worried or complaining
about what is going on, is there? Once we fall into
the lower self, our vibration drops and we are of no
help to anyone. Let's keep ourselves, (thought, word,
deed) on the Higher Path and the Highest Intention.
It's the best we can do for EVERYONE!
I can see a world where we each and all support each
other in this process. Let's start now.
I just found another confirmation about this, and I'm
sharing it here.
Blessings on your day!
Love and light,
Marge

STAY ENERGIZED MAKE A DIFFERENCE
"Compassion helps you feel what its like to walk in
someone elses shoes but to know when to stop so you
dont walk off the cliff with them."
-Doc Childre, Founder of HeartMath
Wayne Dyer said it best. You cant be sick enough to
make someone well. This thought has stayed on my mind
all week as I spoke to so many people who are
emotionally devastated, physically drained, and
mentally tired because of the human suffering involved
with Hurricane Katrina.
A woman who was volunteering to help homeless evacuees
that made their way to Atlanta broke down in tears as
we spoke on phone because of the enormity of it all.
She said, There were just so many of them and yet I
knew they represented just a drop in the bucket. She
wondered how she could possibly make a difference with
so much suffering. Then there was Susan who felt the
collective pain and despair in every cell of her body.
After all, each persons energy is part of the
collective energy and when there is a collective pain
and despair we are all affected by it at an energetic
level. Just as we can be impacted by someones bad
mood at the office we can also be impacted by the mood
of the country. And then there was Cheryl in Virginia
who told me she was feeling in a funk because of
everything she was seeing, hearing and reading. Of
course she was. We all were and many of us still are.
But the way out of the funk was demonstrated by a
young boyCheryls son. Cheryl in Virginia emailed me
a few hours after our conversation and said that while
she was talking to me, her son made his way outside,
unprompted, and sat on a small chair, at a very small
table, with an empty jar, white envelop and a big sign
that said, HELP ALL WHO SUFFERED THROUGH HURRICANE
KATRINA. Inspired by this Cheryl asked him if they
should sell books or stuffed animals and he said No.
She asked him if they should bake cookies and he said,
No. She asked him if he wanted to sell lemonade and
he said, No, Mom. I just want to do it this way. In
one hour the nine year old raised $38 dollars. Cheryl
wrote, My son reminded me that it can be that simple,
just one person doing what they can in their own way.
One person doing one thing that shines a light on the
suffering makes a huge difference when millions of
people shine rays of positive energy and hope. Acts
such as my son donating his entire piggy bank to
relief efforts are magnified when every child in his
school does this and millions of children in the world
do this.
So when you feel like the weight of the world is on
your shoulders and you feel like you cant do
everything, realize you are correct. You cant do
everything but you can do one thing and this one thing
does make a difference. Each volunteer makes a
difference. Each dollar raised makes a difference and
each positive thought we all contribute to the
collective mood of the country makes a difference.
As I go to Houston this week to visit with the
Hurricane survivors I will be reminding myself that we
cant be sick enough to make someone well. We must
focus on being well and we must focus our energy on
helping others be well. When we open our heart,
instead of letting fear and anger flow through, which
drains us, we must cultivate and project the love that
energizes ourselves and others. This doesnt mean we
dont have compassion and feel pain. Of course we do.
But as Doc Childre said, when walking in their shoes
we cant allow ourselves to walk off a cliff where we
are no good to anyone. Instead we must take time to
give ourselves the gift of energy so we can give this
gift to others. Consider the following action steps to
energize yourself so you can energize those who need
it most.
Take one simple action to make a difference. Just
doing one thing that helps a hurricane survivor will
make you feel better and make an impact. If you are
volunteering in the trenches, dont focus on the
suffering of everyone. Just focus on creating one
success at a time. Just focus on helping one person at
a time.
When you open your heart to the suffering you see and
feel, instead of letting fear and pain flow through
it, let love flow out of it, healing yourself and
healing others.
The best technique I have found to help people
recharge emotionally and cultivate positive emotions
during times of suffering and stress is available from

What if, in perfect Divine Order, Hurricane Katrina
has brought Humanity the amazing opportunity to
practice our newfound freedom from our egos? Let's
step back and look at this monumental event through
the eyes of our I AM Presence. From this higher level
of consciousness, we see the bigger picture, and we
realize that there are symbols and metaphors contained
within this experience.
Natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina have a way of
leveling the playing field in the Family of Humanity.
Natural disasters do not care about our politics,
religions, social or economic status, our life-styles,
our races, nationalities, the shape of our physical
bodies, how young or old we are or how physically
attractive or unattractive we may be. Natural
disasters clearly demonstrate that we are all One, and
what affects one facet of Life affects all Life.
The people who are being the most adversely affected
at this moment as a result of Hurricane Katrina are
the people in America who have often been the most
oppressed, the most poverty stricken and the most
disenfranchised. This is an overwhelming opportunity
for every American to reach out and to help lift these
people up. The Universal Law is..."As I AM lifted up,
all Life is lifted up with me." If we come together as
the Family of Humanity and work to lift up the most
downtrodden people in America, all Life in America
will be lifted up. That statement is not just wishful
thinking or a lofty platitude. It is a profound Truth
that will change the course of direction for this
blessed country.
When we set aside our anger and our fears and come
together with open hearts and minds, our I AM Presence
and the Company of Heaven will guide us unerringly.
Together we will cocreate viable solutions to the
maladies existing on this planet, and we will create
win-win situations in all facets of our lives. This
will bring the words of our sacred documents to
fruition, and the Divine Destiny of the I AM RACE and
these United States of America will be fulfilled.
The heartfelt response from all over the world to the
devastation of Hurricane Katrina is creating a
tremendous, unified Heart Chalice that now cradles the
entire Earth and all her Life. The outpouring of love,
compassion, caring, help, financial assistance and the
sincere desire to make a positive difference is
expanding exponentially day by day. Through this
purging event, America has a tremendous opportunity to
express our love and reverence for all Life. We will
be blessed with this opportunity for years to come.

Dear Mighty Armed One,
As our hearts ache for the children of humanity in the
wake of the devastation, pain and death wrought by
hurricane Katrina, each of us must renew our
determination to deal skillfully with what we are
experiencing. We must beware the darkness. We must be
courageous to lovingly witness our feelings of
helplessness, anger and fear without being swept away
by negativity, judgment, doubt and despair.
At the same time, we must take inspiration from the
yogic wisdom we have learned from all our teachers.
Offer prayers and make a financial contribution to the
charity of your choice if you are so motivated. But
beyond that, be ready and eager to contribute to the
Light of the world in every relationship you
encounter, within your own mind and with others.
Attend to the Light within you, that is You, and make
certain that the Light of intuitive wisdom shines as
brightly as possible whenever you think, speak or act.
Remember, you are the Light of the world. Be that
which you are in mind, action and speech. In Your
Light, our nation and world will heal and flourish.
With love and respect,

Dr. Willard Fuller founded the Lively Stones World
Healing Fellowship in 1968. He has been teaching the
full gospel of the Lord for the last 45 years as a
non-denominational minister. His approach as a
counselor, healer, theologian and teacher is the most
awesome, inspiring unconditional love. Dr. Fuller
helps remind us that we are Love and teaches us how to
implement that love as ministers of Gods Grace. All
who come to him to receive healing and training are
able to turn around and share the Gifts of the Spirit
with everyone in their lives. This is part of the
fulfillment of Dr. Fullers Dream. He wants very much
to unite the leaders of all religions to come together
as a solution for World Peace and global discord.
Kelley and I encourage you to support and participate
with this dream to make it a reality.
Dr. Fuller can be reached by snail mail, email and
phone. Check out his website, and download his book Why Not The Truth
a distillation
of 90 years of living. Or order a hard copy from him.
The book is free and donations are always appreciated.

Dr. Willard Fuller Testimonials:
My testimonial for Willard:
I thank God for Willard- today, I sang my 'solo' again
in the car, to myself. I just began to sing. And, sing
and sing! I felt so fantastic. I could feel myself
connecting deeply to myself, the earth, universe, God.
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to let
myself be loved, held, and inspired at Dr. Fuller's
seminar. Dr. Fuller has a gift for shining God's light
into each one of us. I remember how much I matter, how
loveable I am. How much love I have to give to the
world.

Toni,
The last night in Florida I hurt my shoulder lifting
weights and it bothered me all day and after the
healing service I got in my car to drive home and the
pain was gone. When I got home, I laid hands on my
girlfriend who has had bad stomach pains for weeks and
the pain is gone now. The doctor thought she either
had a hernia or ovarian cysts. The pain left after I
laid hands on her for about 20 minutes.
cool huh?

Hi Toni!!
Good to hear from you. Well, I have just felt so
wonderful and high and positive from being with
Willard, Althea and everyone involved. It was such a
blessing and still is. I think of our time there every
day and send out blessings to everyone involved and
this makes me high as well. I felt really affected by
the gifts of the spirit. I think the challenge for me
is to acknowledge these gifts as they show their
existence and not overlook them as if they did not
exist. Well, I just feel so blessed!!! to have spent
time with all of you amazing fantastic people. Anyhow,
I wish you both the best and I welcome any comments on
your post - Lively Fellowship experience.
Love, Christy

Life on planet earth these many years has been an
incredible challenge to many of us empaths. Refusing
the pain, discord, overload and insanity is sometimes
an all day process as part of the Collective
experience. As my metaphysical mama says The world is
sure crazy. Before I went to be with Willard and
received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and The Gifts
of the Spirit, I sometimes did not sleep for days or
weeks on end. Now, having received these fantastic
gifts, I sleep and I am so very grateful. The energy
of these experiences continue to grow, as I accept
Willards advice: relax and accept the worthiness of
their presence in my life. Thank you Willard. I love
you.
Young Reverend Toni Delgado, Las Cruces, N.M.
Working For Peace: A few really dedicated people can
offset the ill effects of masses of out-of-harmony
people, so we who work for peace must not falter. We
must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace
in whatever way we can. We must continue to speak for
peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others,
we must continue to think of peace and to know it is
possible. What we dwell upon we help to bring into
manifestation. One little person, giving all of her
time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of
their time, can make history.

23rd Annual Observance of The International Day of
Peace -
Peace Day - September 21
Calling for a Global Ceasefire and a Minute of Silence
for Peace at 12 Noon
Sunday, August 5th, 2001 we hosted our eleventh breath
meditation for World Peace utilizing the very
efficient Light Body Expanding breath meditation - -
BURSTING THE BODY LIGHT - VIOLET FLAME OF FORGIVENESS.
As always, it was a remarkable healing that we
received and sent out to the Collective and MOTHER
EARTH. It was particularly auspicious, because we were
joined by two loved ones in spirit: Marge's late
husband Glenn and Josie's father Jose Antonio. Expect
more of this in your lives as we integrate more into
our fifth dimensional solar frequencies.
Our sharing was about the perfection of who we are in
our Truth, since God-Goddess doesn't give one electron
of energy to imperfection. Look at the clouds...how
fun and perfect they are. They are quite extraordinary
in their different shapes. They are so happy, which is
our natural state...yet how many of us have hearts
open enough to embrace this? Jim Dvorak, Master Q.D.
Teacher, always used to say: "Life is too happy to be
short".
Our intention for the breath meditation was that
HUMANITY OPEN THEIR HEARTS TO THE TRUTH OF WHO THEY
ARE". Our hearts are the altars for Mother Father God.
Our next breath meditation for World Peace using the
BBL-VFF marks our One Year Anniversary. It is
scheduled for Sunday September 2nd, 2001 here in Las
Cruces, New Mexico. Please do join us. Mark your
calendar and do the BBL-VFF for World Peace. Take the
time from whatever activity and join us. Remember,
time is not linear; do the breath with your intention
sending it forwards or backwards to join us.
We are the chalice for God's Light - - OUR BODIES ARE
GOD'S CHALICE. We hold God's Light. The more of us
gathered in Consciousness (especially in any one
place), the more Light we can request, receive and
hold.
We meet the first Sunday of each month at 3 pm
Mountain Standard Time. We share our processes with
each other and use the BBL-VFF breath meditation for
World Peace between 4 -4:30 pm. We offer an intention
for the Earth, humanity and ourselves. It is an
exquisitely simple way to be of service, to heal the
Earth, wake up the Collective and receive a healing
for yourself. Join us.
BBL FEEDBACK
June 6, 2001 Hi Kelley and Toni, Just wanted to give
you some more feedback on the BBL breathwork. Last
night while doing this (lying down) my body began to
feel very tingly, mainly the lower part of my body,
the legs. But it was more than just tingly it was a
very strong tickle feeling, it made me want to giggle.
It would build each time I drew in a breath. A few
times I thought I wouldn't be able to stand it, kind
of like when you are tickled so much you can't take it
anymore. But then when I would switch to the other
breathing rate, the building up intensity would start
over. Maybe it was the extra oxygen my cells were
receiving, they were celebrating! This is fun.

ELEVEN REASONS TO BE DOING BURSTING THE BODY LIGHT-
VIOLET FLAME OF FORGIVENESS BREATH MEDITATIONS
1.) Slows us down into a Divine Pause; rather than the
constant running away through activity; and teaches
patience.
2.) Builds more self esteem with current spiritual
practice or discipline; would create a spiritual
practice where there is none and it only takes 10-15
minutes.
3.) Creates a space for people to breathe consciously
on a regular basis to (a) focus them, (b) pull
themselves together from being scattered, (c) create
relaxation, calm, peace.
4.) Starts them silencing their inner dialogue, the
monkey mind, the machine which is an incredible energy
waster; clarifying, purifying and opening to fantastic
creativity and health.
5.) Creates ease, assurance, fearlessness, clarity of
purpose and vision, healing, acceptance and security
within themselves.
6.) Begins de-crystallizing and melting the frozen
Light Body. This in turn creates a higher vibration
and therefore, better energy and sense of well being.
7.) Exponentially increases the Light Body which (a)
increases conscious awareness, (b) ability to manifest
conscious desires and (c) increases our intuition.
8.) Creates a conscious connection and communication
to Source; can make powerful decrees to the Godhead
which are heard.
9.) Speeds the awakening of the Collective
Consciousness and Mother Earth.
10.) Opens and heals our heart and the heart of
humanity and the planet.
11.) With only three percent of the Collective using
these breath meditations, the whole of humanity will
be taken to the full breadth of their Light Bodies. We
will then have Heaven on Earth in these bodies.
Conceive of it! Do it! Now!

These secrets are meant to be shouted from roof tops
and implemented to the extreme. Each one can be hugely
life changing when you integrate it into your life.
This is your official invitation to do so at a higher
level than you are currently. Now is the time to join
together with passion.
The first step towards this change is changing you.
Pick a secret and go with it. Now begin.
1. Choose to have only one way of being: living
intentionally, deliberately, purposefully and be
consistent to that no matter what hat you are wearing
be endeavor towards your larger vision.
2. Reach inside when you hit obstacles. Instead of
looking outside yourself by playing a subtle blame
game, go deeply within instead. Uncover how you could
make a different decision and then take focused,
purposeful action accordingly.
3. Reach out to others, sharing your discoveries and
thoughts with those inside your circle of influence
and those outside your circle of influence. World
transformation begins with communicating our beliefs
into being.
4. Integrate your truth down to the cellular level. In
acting from this level of belief, your transformation
will be able to become visible to others. The sense of
empowerment will then spread from you to others whose
lives with whom you are in contact.
5. Facilitate growth of those around you through
mentoring, coaching, teaching, and creating purposeful
relationships. Even a "one minute relationship" may
have life changing results! Be aware of possibilities
in each conversation with each person you meet
everyday.
6. Communicate with the power of a laser and the
expansiveness of prosperous words. Make each word
count. Practice this skill joyfully. Eliminate words
of fear, scarcity and lack replacing them with words
of love, abundance and prosperity.
7. Meet each person you encounter exactly where they
are with love and compassion. Look into their eyes
when you talk with them and really REALLY hear their
words. Challenge them to no longer accept the status
quo.
8. Effectively use your unique gifts rather than
living according to someone elses expectations for
you. Embrace your gifts as yours. Trying to express
someone elses specialness creates counterfeit
personal currency. Your gifts are riches like gold and
silver.
9. Take passionate action every day. Do not miss a
single day. As you are moving seriously towards world
transformation, do not settle for manic action. Demand
of yourself intentional, love filled, laser focused
action. The results will speak volumes.
10. Laugh, cry, love, nurture, applaud with passion!
Be alive in all things, whether it be in quiet
contemplation of raucous celebration. Spread that
aliveness.
In Truth, Simplicity, Love and Service,
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om Peace
