In this age of hating our bodies--trying to carve and starve them into conforming
to some unattainable ideal--there is great healing in reading and sharing this
beautiful ancient Hindu prayer at mealtime or any time. Read this Hindu blessing
for our bodies, just as they are, here:
I recognize you are the temple in which my spirit, will and creative energy dwell.
I have created you from my need to have my spirit and will manifested on earth
so that I may have this time to learn and grow.
I offer you this food so that you may continue to sustain my creative energy, my spirit, my will, my soul.
I offer this food to you with love, and a sincere desire for you to remain free from disease and disharmony.
I accept you as my own creation.
I am grateful for you.
I love you.
"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force
We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This mind is the Matrix of all matter."
Max Planck, Nobel Prize-winning father of quantum theory
From the Matrix energetic Blog: Matrix Energetics is a phenomenon
that is simple, transferable, measurable and has an effect every time!
Saturday morning brought over 350 people together listening to Dr.
Bartlett explain the theory behind Matrix Energetics.
Saturday afternoon had these same people experiencing the power of
transformation, seeing the effect of letting go and getting out of
their own way. I have no way to convey the excitement of experience,
the depth of sacred space, the vibration of energy.
Matrix Energetics is not learned by understanding. It is experienced
through our connection with each other, through the feeling in our
body, in the state of the holographic field.
And everyone had got it by Saturday afternoon!
I'm excited and curious to see what today brings!
.
"Kelley and I attended levels 1 and 2 of Matrix Energetics in Los Angeles
last month. It was so fantastic that we are again attending the seminars in
Seattle next month...to become practitioners. The amazing openings that we
are all capable of participating with again rained on us. The workshops are
for the novice and the seasoned practitioners in all modalities. This is
what many of us have been waiting and praying for to take us further, faster,
NOW.
The information is awesome, the applications are practical and far reaching.
Our time has come dear ones for us to move with rapidity, fearlessly. Will
you not join us and learn how to do this for yourselves, your family, friends,
clients, communities, for the the World, for the One?"
Each time you open to The Void of All Possibilities and Probabilities,
you do it for all of us. Each time I do it on myself or with one of my
clients, I do it for all of us.

I want to root out the seed of laziness in the world.
Everyone should be hard working. Those of you who are old must
come to kirtan. Everyone must take part in the ashram activities
according to their capacities. Firstly I give you karma yoga. You
can advance only through karma yoga, by karma yoga you may benefit
others also. A lazy person cannot do karma and is like a dead person.
Give great importance to karma yoga and proceed. When laziness is
rooted out from this world, all the world's sorrows and troubles
will come to an end. Only hard work can make person powerful and
energetic. Karma is of first and foremost importance in your life.
Many times I have told you that only through karma yoga will I give
you liberation. In this age it is the only type of yoga one can do,
it is the only way to realization and progress.
You must awake others and make them arise and be alert. If you are
always alert, this will be of great benefit to you. You will achieve
happiness and you will be saved from the calamities which are coming
very soon.
JAI MAHAMAYA KI JAI
The honor of the people lies in the moccasin tracks
of the woman.
Walk the good road.... Be dutiful, respectful, gentle
and modest my daughter... Be strong
with the warm, strong heart of the earth.
No people goes down until their women
are weak and dishonored,
or dead upon the ground.
Be strong and sing the strength of the
Great Powers within you, all around you."
--Village Wise Man, SIOUX
Most of us are very good at giving of our time, efforts, money and
possessions to other people and yet we tend to experience many
difficulties in receiving even half as much for ourselves. The
key to life is to live in balance; this includes balancing giving
with receiving. I would like to share with you ten ways to develop
your "receiving muscle" and to reclaim your power to manifest the
life you desire.
1. Make a daily list of everything that you desire to accomplish that day.
This process will release your intentions to the Universe and will also
allow you to feel in control of your day. Be as specific as possible and
be sure to include things you have to do but perhaps don't want to do.
Also include things that you desire to be accomplished by others. At
the end of your list thank God for the "divine fulfillment" and the
"divine success" that you will experience that day. Let it go and trust.
Be prepared to be pleasantly surprised by the items on your list that are
'magically' taken care of by the Universe.
2. Digging for gold is a technique taught to me by Sonia Choquette and it
really works. First make a list of at least 200 things that you would do
if you weren't afraid. Then, for 30 days straight, tell someone in your
family or a friend what you would do that day 'if you weren't afraid'.
Name two or three different things each day and then choose one that you
will bravely walk through the fear of doing and actually, just do it;
liberating and empowering yourself completely in the process. Start with
something small and work up to more challenging desires. You will gain the
confidence that you need to accomplish almost anything and you will learn
that there is nothing to fear except fear itself. Once you walk through fear,
it's gone.
3. Ask a loved one to compliment you either in person or by words of
affirmation sent in an email. This will serve to help you practice the
art of receiving gracefully. I recommend that you do this daily for at
least six weeks as this length of time will establish what you have
learned to accept for yourself as a habit. And what a great habit to have!
4. Give to yourself often, and especially when you feel resistant to
doing so. Ask your soul to guide you in what you can give to yourself
and feel completely nurtured and full at the same time. You can call this
'filling your own love tank'. Be sure to listen to your heart for the
responses from your soul; therein lies your divine guidance.
5. Take your innermost heart's desire and write a short song or poem
about already having it in your life. Sing it! Shout it out! At the
very least, sing in the shower or recite your poem often until your
desire feels like a natural part of your life; like it belongs to you
completely. Make it fabulous and fun! Through the sheer enjoyment of
this exercise you will increase your capacity to manifest and receive
easily and gracefully.
6. When you are in doubt of your deserving to receive what you desire,
take out several sheets of paper and over several days write down 300
reasons why you deserve that which you desire. You will find that there
is precious little to doubt at all. This is a very powerful exercise in
deservability.
7. Become a "clear crystal receptor" by blending with your soul and
opening your heart chakra completely. Imagine that, as you ask your
soul to blend with you, you feel, sense or see it envelop your entire
body with its heart center right in the middle of your heart center.
See or feel your soul's heart center as a brilliant diamond as it
attaches itself to the center of your heart center which is a flawless
emerald. Feel the click of the connection taking place. Now allow your
soul to shine its brilliant diamond energy through your heart center,
unblocking and clearing everything that is preventing you from living
with an open and loving heart. Finally, with the help of your soul shine
your new crystalline energy far and wide, healing and transforming all
that you touch in the process. Send out waves and waves of this pure
loving energy and then allow yourself to receive back all that comes
back to you as result.
8. Enlist the help of Lakshmi, the Goddess of Prosperity and Ganesh,
the remover of all obstacles by placing either a statue or a picture
of both of them in your prosperity corner of your office or home. The
prosperity corner is located in the NW corner when you are standing at
the main entrance or door and facing inwards. This really works eliminate
obstacles and to draw abundance to you easily and gracefully. You can
include an affirmation, in this area, of having received all that you
desire already. Again, let go and trust.
9. Keep a gratitude journal. Thank God and the Universe for all of the
blessings that you have received throughout the day. In doing this exercise
daily you will begin to notice that there is so much more to be grateful
for than you realized and you will 'magically' attract even more of the
same, if not better, to you.
10. Finally, keep a dream journal. You can use a simple notebook or buy
an actual dream journal but this is very important to do as your soul,
the angels and your guides can give you much insight through your dreams.
Before going to sleep ask your soul, angels and guides to show you what
it is that you need to know about receiving all of your desires gracefully.
Ask them if there is anything that you need to do or to be aware of. Be
sure to keep the journal by your bedside with a pen so that you can write
down your dreams as soon as you awake and so that you don't forget.
Manifesting your desires and living the life of your dreams gets to be
an easy and joyful process. It is my desire that you benefit from these
ten ways to receiving gracefully immensely and that you create a life
beyond your wildest expectations. Expect the best and you will surely
get the best.

I remember how my mother would hold me.
I would look up at her sometimes and see her weep.
I understand now what was happening.
Love so strong a force
it broke the cage,
and she disappeared from everything
for a blessed
moment.
All actions have evolved
from the taste of flight;
the hope of freedom
moves our cells
and limbs.
Unable to live on the earth, Mira ventured out alone in the sky,
I write of that journey
of becoming as
free as
God.
Don't forget love;
it will bring all the madness you need
to unfurl yourself across
the universe.

(Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and West by Daniel Ladinskbr
Friends, At the time of writing, my home and office have been
evacuated due to the fires raging in the San Diego area, and the
James Ray International office will be closed until it's deemed
safe to return by the authorities. The website will continue operate,
and I'll post updates there as they are needed. These are the worst
fires in California history, and San Diego County's been declared in
a state of emergency.
Regardless of where you reside right now, I encourage you to take
heart and realize that pain is a signal to grow instead of suffer.
Yes, difficulties will come in life... And don't get me wrong, the
thought of boxing up a few valuables from my home is as unattractive
to me as it is to anyone. Regardless, it's in the times of apparent
challenge that we test who we really are. The Law of Attraction, which
is so popular right now, states that you'll attract who and what you
are into your life. This doesn't mean that we should blame ourselves
for the fires raging like so many in the media have misinterpreted.
Rather everything is your responsibility and nothing is your fault.
Please read that again.
If you dissect the word (response-ability) , you find it really means
"the ability to respond." How we choose our responses is what we'll
continue to attract, create and become. To think that your life will
be challenge free is illusion. Challenges are the way we test how much
we have or have not developed our ability to respond.
I encourage you to take heart. Realize that in every challenge there
is a gift. That's why in the esoteric traditions the Philosopher' s Stone
(another term for enlightenment) is always found in a pile of dung.
Likewise, in Buddhism the thousand-petal lotus of enlightenment always
grows from the muck and mire. Is there a metaphor here? Yes, there obviously is.
The Christian prophet stated to, "Judge not by appearances. " I encourage
you in all situations in life to not to see them as a blessing or a curse.
Rather, see them as an opportunity to test your level of ability to respond.
To go "three for three." Think, feel and act in accordance with what you
choose versus appearances. Ask the questions: "What does this teach me
about me? What can I learn about me and the world from this situation?
How can I use this situation to grow and become more?"
Maybe it causes you to take an inventory of what's truly important in your life...
Maybe it connects you more deeply with your family...
It could cause you to open your heart and realize the power of helping
your neighbor...
Or maybe it allows you to notice how your response is more empowered than
in past situations...
When you find the goodness and gifts in all life's situations, even the most
difficult, the universe guarantees more goodness and gifts. In the meantime,
in case you're wondering, we're all in good hands and spirits here at James
Ray International and we're available for service in our community. For more
information on how you can help those affected by the fires, please visit
the San Diego Red Cross website.
To your continued harmony and fulfillment,

The REAL Reasons You Want to Avoid Genetically Modified Foods
Make sure to watch this One Hour video at the URL above - MOST interesting
en enlightening. Make sure to watch at least from 34 minutes into the video.
Animals are more instinctively intelligent than humans as they refuse to eat
genetically modified food when offered the choice between normal feedstock
and GMO feedstock!! Jeffrey Smith lecture is loaded with shocking revelations
on the genetically corrupted food most people in North American are almost
forced to ingest.
In this lecture, Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception, summarizes the
contents of his book, which explains how genetically modified foods cause
health problems, and their potential for creating a vast array of unforeseen
and surprising illnesses. He also sheds light on how the corruption within
the U.S. government, the FDA, and the GMO industry has allowed, and perpetuated,
the cover-up.
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
Genetically modified foods are, from my perception, one of the largest threats
that we have against the very sustainability of the human race. Let's face
it, how long can your descendants survive if there isn't any food to eat?
Although Monsanto doesn't believe this is a possibility, their shortsighted
focus on profits is blinding them to the very real threats that this technology
is posing to the viability of the human race.
Jeffrey Smith does a great job of summarizing his main findings in this
fascinating video series, recounting how GMO health problems have indeed
been recorded as far back as 1989. At that time, several people started
seeking medical attention for severe and puzzling health problems such as:
- Severe pain
- Hair loss
- Memory loss
- Muscle weakness, and uncontrollable muscle spasms
- Hardening of the skin
Through a series of events, these symptoms were traced back to genetically
modified strains of L-tryptophan. Up to 10,000 people were affected and some
100 of them died. Uncovered documents revealed that the FDA knew about these
health problems for about five years prior to the "epidemic," which only
became known as an epidemic after the story was published in the New York
Times, and people began coming out of the woodwork displaying these symptoms
that no one had been able to diagnose before.
To illustrate this point - that GMOs may very well be wreaking havoc with
your health and you don't even know it's the source of your problems - is
the fact that the toxic L-tryptophan was only discovered because its symptoms
were acute, rare, and had a very fast onset. These things are what get doctors
curious about unearthing the cause. But as Jeffrey Smith points out - what if
the damage doesn't occur overnight? What if the symptoms are milder?
Thousands of genetically modified products are now on the market, creating
potentially life-threatening problems, but no one knows what to look out for.
Why?
Because no one knows the full extent of what happens to the end product when
you splice in new genes. The only thing that is guaranteed is that it will
create surprise side effects. However, according to Smith's research, what
we do know is that between 1994 and 2001 - at the same time as GMO's flooded
the market - food related illnesses DOUBLED.
GMO foods can be:
- Allergenic
- Toxic
- Carcinogenic
- Anti-nutritional
It may also create brand new diseases that weve never seen before, in
addition to spurring on the disease rate of some we already have, such as
cancer.
Although the major food giants are carrying on with their claim that GM
foods are no different from conventionally grown varieties, the research begs
to differ. Here is just a sampling of the unsavory findings associated with
GM foods:
- GM peas caused lung damage in mice - GM potatoes may cause cancer in rats -
Bacteria in your gut can take up DNA from GM food - They may be spurring the
creation of weed-killer-resistant superweeds.
Smith mentions the superior work of Arpad Pusztai, PhD, a (formerly pro-biotech)
scientist who was hired to evaluate the safety of GMO food, and then fired for
his negative findings and his outspoken criticism of the industry's shoddy
science.
Fortunately, he finally managed to get his animal feeding study published in
the journal Lancet in 1999 (see the Lancet October 16, 1999;354(9187):1353-4
for the full PDF article).
Despite the efforts of concerned scientists like Pusztai, you may be surprised
to learn that you have a 75 percent chance of picking a food with genetically
modified ingredients in the United States. This is because at least seven out
of every 10 items have been genetically modified!
Many of you probably try to avoid genetically modified foods, but very few
know what they really are, since there are no labeling requirements identifying
GMO ingredients. To get an idea of how widespread these ingredients are, I
recommend taking a look at The GMO Food Guide I published a couple of months
ago.
Jeffrey Smith's website www.seedsofdeception.com also gives you a more in-depth
overview of GMO laced products, but the four main culprits are:
- Soy
- Corn
- Cottonseed
- Canola
The offspring of these products include items such as maltodextrin, soy
lecitin, and high fructose corn syrup.
Other GMO products include:
- Some varieties of zucchini, crookneck squash, and papayas from Hawaii
- Milk containing rbGH
- Rennet (containing genetically modified enzymes) used to make hard cheeses
- Aspartame (NutraSweet)
What Can You Do?
Along with using the GMO Food Guide and avoiding the products mentioned
above, theres other tricks you that can use to figure out if something is
genetically modified in your fresh produce aisles:
- Examine produce stickers on the fruits and vegetables you buy. The PLU
code for conventionally grown fruit consists of four numbers; organically
grown fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number nine; and GM fruit has
five numbers prefaced by the number eight. - Buy organic produce as often
as you can. By definition, food that is certified organic must be free from
all GM organisms. - Stay away from all processed foods, as most of these
contain corn and soy ingredients.
Fortunately, as a consumer you do have power. You can choose not to be a
victim of deception, and you can choose what you feed your family. Large
portions of Europe have already succeeded in squashing GMO's out of their
food supply, forcing food manufacturers to use real ingredients in their
European product lines. But here in the U.S. were still stuck with it to
a very large degree.
You can be the change you want to see in America, by educating yourself,
spreading the word, and refusing to buy GMO products.
Share this article with your friends and family, and if you haven't yet
taken the time to watch The Future of Food, please do so now. It is perhaps
one of the most important videos on this subject, and one that everyone in
American should watch and pass on to others.
Below is a response Kelley sent to a friend of ours today with regard
to the above article.
Yes, I had already asked Toni to put this in our next newsletter....
And the milk is on the floor, so to speak...I don't know if we can actually
buy corn for example that is not GMO... unless we grow it ourselves in
some remote area... and even then we would have to stop the wind from
blowing in pollen from around the globe. And how does one know for
sure that the seed corn purchased is not GMO?
It is a real pisser!
(So, we must) process, process, process! I
believe Mother God has another plan for all this GMO experiment.
And yet, the best side of it is that we do have QD (Quantum Dynamics
--changes matter into energy and light) and ME (Matrix Energetics--
article above). We CAN Change Ourselves and quite possibly (hundredth
monkey) Change the World. Truly it is about getting people to wake up
to the possibilities. Toni and I are seeing ME (Matrix Energetics) to
be the least confronting and most exhilarating means of doing so... Yippee!
It really is fun to receive and use ME. Toni and I really recommend
the book Matrix Energetics...and I am in the middle of one of the
books Richard Bartlett refers to a lot... "Dynamics of Time and
Space...transcending limits on knowledge".. Consistently blowing
my mind into new horizons...ie., there is absolutely no limit.
Truly, into dimensions I had never considered. It is Grandiose! Yikes!!
Thanks,
Kelley
In Truth, Simplicity, Love and Service,
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om Peace.
