			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:SMCzPLRLEZNfJM:http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/golden%2520eagle_300_tcm9-139839.jpg" align=right hspace=20>I haven&#8217;t written for a while&#8230; partially, because I don&#8217;t know where the fuzzy line of legality lies, so I am going to use the rule of thumb I learned in my 20 years of being a Landmark Education graduate: you can share your own experience to your heart&#8217;s desire.</p>
<p>So I am sharing my own experience of <a href="http://pamragland.info" target="_blank">Pam Ragland&#8217;s work</a>, &#8220;Quantum Thought Shifting&#8221; which is an 8-month program, and I am in the middle of it&#8230;</p>
<p>There is a distinction that I never heard before Pam&#8217;s program, called &#8220;caretaking.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-41"></span></p>
<p>It is a crafty little distinction, because on the surface it seems that it teaches you to be selfish, but that is really just the very surface.</p>
<p>You are caretaking if there is no winner. Neither you win, nor the one you &#8220;caretake&#8221;.</p>
<p>I did not think it applied to me, but then again, Pam said, that caretaking drains your energy, and increases your negativity.</p>
<p>So I started to pay attention to my energy level (and how much work I got done in a day), and my negativity level (in my case bitterness, or the lack of ambition, enthusiasm, sleeping well).</p>
<p>A few weeks ago I started to notice that I am quite forceful in wanting to give (to everyone, especially people that I diagnosed as they could use my help.) It wasn&#8217;t without pleasure, especially when they didn&#8217;t say no.</p>
<p>One day I found out that one of those people actually didn&#8217;t want and didn&#8217;t need my help, in fact he was way ahead of me in a class we are taking together, because he seems to have more energy, and he seems to ask for help when he needs it. He didn&#8217;t ask for help from me. I felt crushed, but I started to pay attention. I suspected a pattern here&#8230;</p>
<p>The next door neighbor, when he went to rehab about 15 months ago, asked me to take care of his cat. I have been taking extreme hardship to take care of the cat, and I am noticing that the cat is neither grateful, nor is the experience a rewarding one.</p>
<p>When I look back at my life, it seems that I have &#8220;shacked up&#8221; with people who &#8220;needed my help&#8221; only to end up unappreciated, and often dumped.</p>
<p>The only common denominator is me. Hm. Interesting.</p>
<p>So it seems that the pattern is that I &#8220;help&#8221; unsolicited, I am unappreciated, and I am crushed.</p>
<p>When I looked what is underneath that, I saw that there is an underlying conviction that I am not wanted for myself, that I need to earn my keep, that I am on borrowed time, and that I am buying a sense of belonging.</p>
<p>Now, since the &#8220;shift&#8221; all of these &#8220;truths&#8221; have become less controlling of my life, but they are obviously there, given these new acts of caretaking/victimhood.</p>
<p>The homework has been to identify a negative emotion and replace it with a positive&#8230; I think the negative emotion is something like I am ALONE, and the positive could be, I am FREE. A free agent&#8230; wow, what an insight. I have created ties, chains and bonds to create a sense of belonging, but it did not work that way. </p>
<p>Just the thought of being a free agent brings a lightness to my heart, a fluttering, a joy, tears into my eyes. I have never been a free agent! (This is how you know that free agent is not an &#8220;IS&#8221; but is an attitude, a state of mind, a &#8220;BEING&#8221;. In Landmark we used to create beings all the time, it never occurred for me to create free agent as a being.</p>
<p>Amazing. This stuff really works. Thank you Pam, thank you <a href="http://landmark-education.com" target="_blank">Landmark</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An important read for your right to natural care.</p>
<p>Barrett Loses Appeal, Leaves Town</p>
<p>Fight Back, Join the Foundation for Health Choice</p>
<p>Self proclaimed Quackbuster, Stephen Barrett, MD, recently handed crushing defeats by chiropractor Tedd Koren and Ilena Rosenthal, has announced he is leaving his home town and operating base in Allentown, Pennsylvania.<br />
<span id="more-39"></span><br />
On June 11th, 2007, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed a lower court dismissal of Barrett&#8217;s defamation suite against Dr. Koren. Barrett&#8217;s case was so lacking in merit the judge blocked it from going to the jury. Barrett simply had no case against Dr. Koren. This followed another stunning defeat last month in California. There an appeals court ordered Barrett and crony Terry Polevoy, MD to post bonds of more than $400,000.00 after they lost a defamation case against Illena Rosenthal virtually identical to the Koren case. </p>
<p>Perhaps the fact that lawyers and judges in Allentown are catching on to his intimidation schemes explains why Barrett is moving to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Barrett can run but he can&#8217;t hide. Chapel Hill collection attorneys are already being asked to locate his assets to pay his unmet legal obligations. Assets of other Quackwatch, Inc., principals might also be sought.</p>
<p>Who Is Steven Barrett, What Are Quackbusters?</p>
<p>Steven Barrett is an unlicensed Pennsylvania psychiatrist, who, though he failed his psychiatric boards and has been criticized for his lack of expertise by several courts, still claims to often advise the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the FBI, State Attorneys General, HMOs, Consumer Reports, medical journals and state medical, chiropractic and dental boards.</p>
<p>The insurance industry cites Barrett&#8217;s highly opinionated &#8220;Quackbuster&#8221; attacks to deny paying claims for chiropractic and other natural healthcare. </p>
<p>Barrett and the &#8220;Quackbusters,&#8221; a vigilante group of self proclaimed skeptics of any medical or health modality that avoids drugs, surgery or radiation, attack almost all non-conventional healthcare practices as quackery. Ignoring all scientific research to the contrary, they dismiss Gulf War Syndrome, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Chemical Sensitivity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and dietary supplements as rubbish. Double Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling is on their &#8220;quack&#8221; hit list along with many well known and respected doctors and scientists, including Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil, and dozens of others.</p>
<p>Barrett claims to give over 500 interviews a year to newspapers, magazines, and television shows, including CNN and the Today Show. He claims to have been a peer reviewer for seven medical journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association, even though he had no license to practice medicine when he did the reviewing.</p>
<p>The Quackbusters run over 70 websites. Millions of people go to them every year. Look up chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy or even vitamin C, as well as almost every other natural health topic, on the Internet and you (and the public) will be led to Quackbuster sites advising you of natural health &#8220;dangers.&#8221; In all these forums Barrett and the Quackbusters relentlessly attack the consumer right to informed choice. These activities continue the AMA&#8217;s anti-quackery committee&#8217;s activities that were struck down by federal courts as an illegal restraint of trade in a landmark lawsuit brought by Illinois chiropractor Chester Wilk. They also help insurance companies deny consumer reimbursement claims.</p>
<p>At the same time, Barrett flacks for products like aspartame (NutraSweet), which is the subject of tens of thousands of consumer complaints. Question (asked on Barrett&#8217;s web site): &#8220;An email message is being circulated with many statements to the effect that aspartame is dangerous. How worried should I be?&#8221; Answer (from Barrett): &#8220;Not at all. The message is pure rubbish.&#8221; </p>
<p>What Did Dr. Koren Do to Provoke Barrett&#8217;s Shakedown?</p>
<p>Dr. Tedd Koren is a well-known chiropractor, researcher, writer and lecturer. Barrett sued Dr. Koren in 2003 for calling him a Quackpot, saying he was in big trouble because of a racketeering law suit brought against him and attacking his lack of a medical license in his internet newsletter. </p>
<p>The trial judge and three appeals judges agreed unanimously that these statements were so far from defamation that no jury could be legally allowed to call them defamation. Dr. Koren also said Barrett was &#8220;delicensed.&#8221; One of the three appeals courts judges thought a jury might be able to find this to be defamation. However two appellate judges disagreed and jurors interviewed after the trial said they too saw through Barrett and felt that he was a litigious, ungrounded and biased denier of the truth. </p>
<p>In part jurors formed this view because Barrett testified with great self-satisfaction in the Koren case that he had sued many doctors-close to forty-in similar cases, demanding up to $100,000 if they wished to avoid a costly lawsuit. Some paid-how many is yet to be discovered. Drs. Koren and Rosenthal and a few others did not. Barrett has failed to win a single lawsuit in this shakedown scheme. </p>
<p>Dr. Koren&#8217;s Legal Team</p>
<p>Well known consumer advocate, James S. (Jim) Turner, general counsel to Koren Publications, who several years earlier had persuaded the FTC to drop an investigation against Dr. Koren (brought at a time when Barrett was a consultant to the FTC), organized and coordinated the legal team that represented Dr. Koren. Attorney Christopher Reid of Allentown, Pennsylvania acted as associate trial counsel and appellate counsel and California health freedom attorney Carlos Negrete acted as trial counsel., </p>
<p>Mr. Negrete said, &#8220;Fortunately for all of his colleagues, Dr. Koren decided not to back down and took the case to trial. Barrett is part of a group of intolerant individuals. I am not certain who the supporters of the so-called Quackbusters are, but they seem to me to be just skinheads with stethoscopes.&#8221;</p>
<p>During heated and often dramatic courtroom proceedings, Mr. Negrete pointed out many of the questionable statements Barrett includes on his websites attacking chiropractic, as well as facts about Barrett&#8217;s own credentials that shocked even his supporters. </p>
<p>Mr. Turner says, &#8220;It is very important that a very responsible judge in Barrett&#8217;s hometown recognized that he was making false allegations and dismissed the case. Barrett has cost untoward numbers of consumers pain, anguish and probably serious harm by his misrepresentation of the facts about subjects ranging from acupuncture to zinc.&#8221; </p>
<p>Mr. Turner, who among other campaigns led the team that got acupuncture needles approved as safe by FDA, worked with a Senate committee to abolish the dysfunctional vaccine regulatory agency, worked with whistleblowers to stop the Swine Flu inoculation campaign, kept aspartame off the market for ten years, and played a key role in lobbying the Organic Food Production Act through Congress (all areas on which the Foundation for Health Choice focuses), says, &#8220;Our objective is to end Barrett&#8217;s abuse of consumers by eliminating the false and misleading information from his website and his entire network of websites and replacing it with sound, useful information for consumers.&#8221; </p>
<p>Says Dr. Koren, &#8220;This is just the beginning. Just as the FTC battle was not about Tedd Koren alone but had ramifications for the entire chiropractic and natural health professions so the Barrett v. Koren battle will have major ramifications for all. We&#8217;re going to give the Quackbusters a taste of their own medicine. They&#8217;ll learn how dangerous medicine can be.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Our mission is not just about revealing the Quackbusters to be the unscientific bigots that they are. We are fighting for health care freedom. One of our goals is to permit parents to make sound decisions about vaccination for their children. There are too many sound health reasons for certain children to avoid vaccination and the government has recognized too many vaccine caused deaths and maimings (over $1.5 billion of compensation has been paid to bereaved families by the federal vaccine injury compensation system since 1988) to allow a non-vaccinated child to be refused day care, school, college, or employment,&#8221; says Dr. Koren.</p>
<p>Mr. Turner is also lead counsel in a case brought against Barrett by Dr. Don Harrison, the chiropractor who founded and leads Chiropractic Biophysics.</p>
<p>Join The Foundation for Health Choice Free, Make a Contribution</p>
<p>Dr. Koren, Jim Turner and others have formed The Foundation for Health Choice (www.foundationforhealthchoice.com <http://www.kwsemail.com/redirect.asp?camp=617&#038;bl=1&#038;URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Efoundationforhealthchoice%2Ecom&#038;email=5ef842d892710b6fbb48ff7a970a223f> ) to fight for health care freedom.</p>
<p>The Foundation for Health Choice has a comprehensive multi-phase strategy to advance consumer access to the wide variety of health and wellness initiatives available to consumers that do not involve drugs, surgery or radiation, including:<br />
Â°	Providing access to information currently resisted by the established medical system,<br />
Â°	Investigating and reporting on activities and organizations that undermine chiropractic, naturopathic, homeopathic, acupuncture and other non dug based approaches to health and well being,<br />
Â°	Working to eliminate concealment of evidence of such modalities&#8217; usefulness, the undercutting of insurance programs for patients, and the subverting of government inquiries by special interests,<br />
Â°	And numerous other activities to eliminate the monopoly over health care that currently exists in this country.<br />
Says Dr. Koren, &#8220;The Foundation needs members and donors, especially monthly donors, to sustain its activities. Ten dollars a month from enough people can make a big difference. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Truths of James Ray:</p>
<p>The world that we see is made up of light and energy.</p>
<p>We need to plug into this source of energy call it God or as he (James Ray) states, the zero point. (In <a href="http://www.Kabbalah.com" target="_blank">Kabbalah</a> we call it The Light)</p>
<p>We thrive at the place between chaos and order. Example stressed grapes make the best wine. We must be able to handle the edge.</p>
<p>Wealth comes from the same word Well Being comes from, money is just a small part of wealth.</p>
<p>His coined concept is Harmonic Wealth: It has five parts:</p>
<p>Financial<br />
Relationships<br />
Intellectual  mental/ Emotional<br />
Physical<br />
Spiritual</p>
<p><span id="more-32"></span></p>
<p>It is not about balancing these it is about the specific key that fits into the universe in the NOW</p>
<p>Sometimes we have more focus in Financial and that effect relationship and physical world. It is a flow, a synergy.</p>
<p>Your results are the truth in your life. Look around and see what you have, and then work it from there.</p>
<p>To have change you must work at a different level. Choose any of these five and work it and the others will respond also.</p>
<p>He said we must work on the HOW from the inside. </p>
<p>He talked about our DNA as being the key to attracting and producing more light or Life.</p>
<p>We must relax or DNA to do this. Tight DNA less light.</p>
<p>We loosen our DNA by experiencing more LOVE, JOY, GRATITUDE, and BEAUTY. No cost to any of these, great start.</p>
<p>We tighten with worry, fear, anxiety, anger, greed, and so on.&#8221;</p>
<p>I am impressed especially by two statements above: the one in the title: stressed grapes make the best wine. I think this is under the truism that you must stretch yourself beyond what&#8217;s comfortable for the Light to find any vessel in you. Your vessel, when you are not stretching, is full. And you know what happens when you try to pour tea into a full cup? It flows, but in the saucer and then on the table and then on the floor. When I say Light, I mean energy to do more, feel more, have more, love more, enjoy more. So, very counter-intuitive (misnomer alert!): the more you are willing to be uncomfortable the more light you can get, in any moment.</p>
<p>The other statement I like is the one about the tight DNA: &#8220;We must relax or DNA to do this. Tight DNA less light.</p>
<p>We loosen are DNA by experiencing more LOVE, JOY, GRATITUDE, and BEAUTY. No cost to any of these, great start.&#8221;</p>
<p>When I first started to do the <a href="http://www.healing-codes.info/" target="_blank"><strong>Healing Codes</strong></a>, August of 2005, I was so tightly wound, that I got almost no light to survive. I had a growth on my lower arm that seemed to love it. The tighter I was the more it grew.</p>
<p>I started to do the &#8220;codes&#8221; on this skin growth by doing the code for Joy. When I started I wasn&#8217;t even able to smile&#8230; I could feel as the sadness left my body, the tightness released, and on the 3rd day the growth first changed color from angry red to a paler pink, and by the end of the day it shrank and fell off. It left a white spot the size of a dime on my arm. I still have it, shrunk a little but it is still there.</p>
<p>So what am I saying? That as I put my attention on joy and gratitude, my whole being became looser, softer, malleable, and the Light could come in and do what the Light does: put Life back to life.</p>
<p>A great lesson I haven&#8217;t forgotten.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I heard a brilliant story a few years ago.</p>
<p>There was this milk delivery truck driver. He started his shift as 6 am. He always had a partner who did most of the heavy lifting.</p>
<p>There was a dangerous junction on his route, entering a busy bridge on the left hand side. The visibility was nil&#8230; He could not watch the road and drive at the same time.</p>
<p>His partner would hang out his window to see the traffic and when it was clear, he would yell &#8220;Clear&#8221; and he would drive.</p>
<p>One morning his partner called in sick. </p>
<p><span id="more-24"></span>At that dangerous junction he stopped as always, waited, and they he himself yelled &#8220;Clear&#8221; and drove into traffic&#8230; you can imagine the crash.</p>
<p>Why am I telling you this story? it&#8217;s funny and tragic. It&#8217;s you and me.</p>
<p>I am a coach, but &#8220;I am also a client&#8221;.</p>
<p>One of my clients makes it a point to tell me how he thinks about himself, how bad, wrong, weak, stupid, lazy, etc. he is. I know his background: his family used to tell him that. Now that they are not around, he, just like the truck driver yelled himself &#8220;Clear&#8221;, he tells himself all the things his parents used to tell him&#8230; automatically.</p>
<p>Now, why would he treat himself different? He always complains about how his parents used to treat him, yet&#8230;</p>
<p>It hasn&#8217;t occured to him to call himself what he wants to be, no matter what the circumstance. In spite of all the coaching to set the context to every mistake or every victory. We have invented, ok I did, that he is a person on his path to greatness. This is a great context, because on the path to greatness you can act stupid, you can make mistakes, you can drop the ball, the context is that you are on the path&#8230;</p>
<p>No matter what, this context stays alive for hours at a time, no longer. If he wants to change that, he needs a major &#8220;mind surgery&#8221;, or a miracle, or both.</p>
<p>Luckily there is such a thing, and I am halfway through it&#8230; it is called Quantum Thought Shifting. The person who performs this &#8220;magic&#8221; is Pam Ragland, and her site is <a href="http://www.pamragland.info" target="_blank">http://www.pamragland.info</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a challenge: I need to/want to move my business in a different direction. I want to start something new, in the area of Internet Marketing, but I am having technical difficulties.</p>
<p>I have been procrastinating. Familiar? Me too.</p>
<p>I called a Success Codes coach, Teri Rose, <a href="http://www.peaceofsuccess.com/coaching.htm" target="_blank">http://www.peaceofsuccess.com</a> to get some personal attention. In the 49th minute of hour hour-long coaching session she shared how she went about getting the perfect webmaster for herself, after having worked with webmasters that had no patience for her.</p>
<p>Here is the insight: I have always thought that I have to try to change so that people can work with me. What I have learned from Teri: I can ask the Light/Universe to get me together with someone who wants to work with me where I am, how I am, and as long as I am clear what exactly I want from a webmaster/personal assistant/etc. I can get that.</p>
<p>This is an enormous breakthrough for me! I am so excited! Maybe I won&#8217;t have to try to do everything myself from now on. The operative word is &#8220;trying&#8221;, because it is impossible to get done everything I need to get done, by myself&#8230; so that is why I have been so busy, and haven&#8217;t advanced as I should have.</p>
<p>I am doing the success codes with the q-codes now on getting clear, on believing that I can, and on having peace of mind and peace of heart. I believe that I will have that by Monday.</p>
<p>What a miracle! Thank you Teri, Than you, Light. I am grateful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next weekend I will be in Nashville, TN. Traveling again? Is it worth it?<br />
I really think so. I am going to the Q-Codes seminar, where, among others, I&#8217;ll learn how to make the healing codes 100-150 times more effective&#8230; imagine that!</p>
<p>I have been using <a href="http://www.healing-codes.info">The Healing Codes</a> and also The Success Codes to cause health and success for myself and for my coaching clients. I have never known any method that is as fast as these to cause a shift in consciousness.<span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p>I am going to touch on the &#8220;healing&#8221; side by sharing with you what happened to me, and though I really am thankful for that aspect of the &#8220;codes&#8221;, I appreciate the consciousness raising aspect far more&#8230;</p>
<p>Last year in the summer I noticed and ugly red growth on my right arm. It came all of a sudden, and then started to grow. I was sure it was cancerous, and I knew that chances are I was going to die: I am done with doctors, and I didn&#8217;t know about any alternatives.</p>
<p>I got an email from Tellman Knudson one day inviting me to a teleseminar about <a href="http://www.healing-codes.info">The Healing Codes</a>. The email was intriguing, so I signed up.</p>
<p>The call was so-so, the product was expensive, but compared with dying it was really cheap. I ordered the manual, started to do the codes right away.</p>
<p>The manual suggested that anything on the skin is related to joy&#8230; so I was doing the &#8220;joy&#8221; code, a simple, effortless, no-need-to-learn-it hands on energy system, very different from the energies I learned in the Omega Shakti System, of which I have 3 degrees.</p>
<p>Though I experienced no increase in my level of joy, a growth started to change on the 3rd day, it was shrinking visibly, and another 3 days later it simply fell, leaving a white footprint behind. No scar, nothing else but a spot. </p>
<p>I continued practicing the codes, and experienced a whole revolution, I became a better person. More tolerant, more loving, more patient, free, and definitely more capable.</p>
<p>This is the point where the following email arrived:<br />
1000 times the Healing Codes:<br />
What does &#8216;1,000 Times&#8217; mean, though?</p>
<p>    How is it possible?</p>
<p>   You probably remember, from your manual or a call, The<br />
Healing Codes are always more powerful when done for you.<br />
You can do more for someone else using The Healing Codes<br />
in the same period of time than you can do for yourself or<br />
they can do for themselves.</p>
<p>    This power grows when more people are focused on a<br />
particular person or issue.</p>
<p>    The Power of a group originates through the Blessing from<br />
the Surrogate and the Blessing of Giving.</p>
<p>    &#8216;You cannot benefit someone else without benefiting yourself.&#8217;</p>
<p>    It appears to be a law of nature.</p>
<p>    Let&#8217;s repeat.</p>
<p>    &#8216;You cannot give to someone else without receiving.&#8217;</p>
<p>    Some of you may see that as tithing or &#8216;It is more blessed<br />
to Give than to Receive.&#8217;  Keep in mind, if you&#8217;re not willing<br />
to receive you deny others their blessings.  </p>
<p>    Be willing to Give AND Receive.</p>
<p>    One Thousand Times &#8211;  That&#8217;s the exciting thing about<br />
these seminars.</p>
<p>    And the next one with openings is in Orange County,<br />
Nov 10-12, 2006.</p>
<p>    (We have some other announcements of other discoveries<br />
we will tell you about soon.  Watch for the announcements.)</p>
<p>    With everyone in a room is focused on an issue for one<br />
person, every person with that issue will share in that healing.</p>
<p>    Plus we will work in small groups as well.</p>
<p>    We will have one Certified Healing Codes Practitioner for<br />
every eight people at a Q-Weekend.</p>
<p>    Q is for Quick.</p>
<p>    Q is for Quantum.</p>
<p>    One of the reasons we must limit the size of the meeting is<br />
the limited number of Certified Practitioners we have available.<br />
We can increase the size of the room; but, not the number of<br />
Certified Practitioners available.</p>
<p>    What happens as we work our way through the twelve days<br />
with surrogates and as small groups using the Healing Codes<br />
and the Q-Codes Booster?</p>
<p>    You will be taught the accelerated booster techniques to use<br />
with Your Healing Codes.  This means at this program, we can<br />
run through a Fifteen Day Cycle (Twelve Days plus Three<br />
Focus Days) in 7 &#038; 1/2 minutes with a power and effectiveness<br />
many times what anyone can do on their own.</p>
<p>    When you leave you will take with you the Q-codes<br />
Booster technology.  You will have this ability to use the<br />
codes at 150 times the effectiveness.</p>
<p>    But the greatest benefit will probably be what happens in<br />
that room.  Until we have completed one of these programs,<br />
we cannot know for certain whether what has happened for<br />
small groups will take a new leap with our new technology<br />
and a large focused group in a three day setting.</p>
<p>    The Healing Codes work great.  Almost all of our<br />
testimonials come from the current use of The Healing Codes,<br />
previous more complicated versions or Custom Codes working<br />
with a coach.</p>
<p>    We will continue to discover new and better ways to<br />
integrate the Codes into our lives and ways to improve their<br />
performance.</p>
<p>    To those who feel frustrated because we continue to<br />
improve the program, I really don&#8217;t know how to respond to<br />
you.  Use your Codes and focus on Trust or whatever helps<br />
you to accept a changing world and the value of continual<br />
innovation.</p>
<p>    Time does not permit me to provide more feedback than<br />
that on why we keep improving.</p>
<p>    Some people have sent us messages that since God<br />
gave Alex The Codes, Alex should give them away.</p>
<p>    God gave all of us our abilities.  Yet we all expect<br />
compensation for our work and our gifts.</p>
<p>    These abilities we have are a stewardship.  If God had<br />
wanted anyone to receive them without any effort, he did<br />
not need to go through Alex, you or me to share his rewards.</p>
<p>    Anyone who will put in the same twelve years of searching,<br />
learning and praying, may receive the first rung of insight<br />
as Alex did.  And anyone who continues to diligently use, teach<br />
and learn, will probably continue to be given higher levels of<br />
understanding and opportunity, as has been the case with<br />
Alex.</p>
<p>    For those, like me, who are not ready to spend twelve of<br />
our own years, searching through a wilderness of<br />
information, paying for college tuition to earn a PhD, enduring<br />
hardship and frustrations while continually meeting every<br />
frustration with prayer; you may consider the pricing a bargain.</p>
<p>    I was a client before I was ever involved with the company.<br />
I figured and still do, almost any price is cheaper than<br />
taking twelve years of my own time before God feels I am<br />
worthy of directly receiving my own program.</p>
<p>    Additionally, through your own observations and countless<br />
market testing time and again, you know people normally do<br />
not value what they do not pay for.</p>
<p>    An investment in this product is an investment in blessings<br />
for yourself, your family and pets and in our ability to reach<br />
other people while continuing to innovate.</p>
<p>    And we Thank You.  We couldn&#8217;t do this without you.</p>
<p>    With any innovation, it takes time to test, write, film,<br />
document, edit, co-ordinate different materials and make<br />
certain we can effectively transfer the knowledge through<br />
home study kits.  We cannot tell you exactly how long this<br />
process will take.</p>
<p>    We can only tell you what we have available now.</p>
<p>    (We have some other announcements of other discoveries<br />
we will tell you about soon.  Watch for announcements.)</p>
<p>    A home study for this will not replace the value of the<br />
Q-Seminars.  They are Quantum, a synergistic mingling to<br />
create incredibly high results.  They are Quick.</p>
<p>    If you can, be there.</p>
<p>    What we can achieve in this group setting is beyond the<br />
power of any of us to achieve alone.</p>
<p>    THIS IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT, IT IS A REVOLUTION!</p>
<p>Those who registered for the Nashville call, do not need<br />
to reregister.  You will be sent call information.<br />
If you do reregister you won&#8217;t receive multiple copies of<br />
the same message unless you use a different email<br />
address.</p>
<p>* Issue refers to issue of the heart &#8211; destructive memories</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote the last post a few days ago&#8230;</p>
<p>Today, at my chiropractor, he detected 9 trigger points. They were not there when I wrote the post&#8230; puzzling? yes and no.</p>
<p>When I looked at what could have happened, I saw 2 things: </p>
<p>1. This week I suddenly started to drink tea with milk again. I had laid them off a while ago, but I forgot why. Obviously either the tea, the milk, or both are guilty in bringing back the trigger points.</p>
<p>I am done with tea and milk&#8230; the question is, what is going to remind me why I stopped to enjoy two of my favorite beverages.</p>
<p><span id="more-14"></span><br />
2. Whenever I have an accomplishment and I share it, I experience an almost instant relapse&#8230; it can be about health, relationships, or money&#8230; same exact scenario repeats itself: I speak of the accomplishment with a certain pride and a sense of awe. The result stops or even goes back to the starting point. I feel like Sysyphos from Greek Mythology, who stole the Gods&#8217; fire to benefit all of humanity, got caught, and and got sentenced to a life of ineffective actions: he had to roll a huge boulder to the top of a hill only that it rolled back once he went to take his daily rest.</p>
<p>This whole topic of jinxing my results with speaking deserves a post, maybe posts independent of any specific topics, so maybe I&#8217;ll do that in a day or two. In the meantime, have you checked out the products I have recommended? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in 1991, a difficult period in my life, I moved to an office, and given that I am a workaholic, I used one of the offices to set up camp&#8230; I actually lived in my office.</p>
<p>It was a one-story building, and I rented the front part for my business. The back was paint storage for the printing company that was next door.</p>
<p>The building was not rented for a year prior to me renting it, and it smelled musky. About a month after I moved there I started to feel funny. It got progressively worse, and by the middle of 1993 I wasn&#8217;t able to move freely, neither had the strength nor could bear the pain it went with movement.</p>
<p>I hired a personal trainer because even to get to the bathroom was a challenge.</p>
<p><span id="more-13"></span><br />
At the same time my doctor told me I wasn&#8217;t going to live and that he could not help.</p>
<p>The trainer took me off all normal food, and put me on protein shakes. Within days I could walk, but the pain didn&#8217;t go away. I got rid of much of my food allergies (as it turned out) but I was still tired and sore all the time.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t until I discovered the products and methods I will tell you here, that this year, 2006 I am pain free and I have all the energy I need.</p>
<p>The first thing I found was Dr. Schulze&#8217;s Super Food, (www.herbdoc.com) that provides all the nutrients you need in a herbal drink form. Your body needs energy to heal, and this is a high energy drink. I am on autoship, about $30 a month.</p>
<p>The second thing I found was the <a href="http://water-spin-energy.com/energy-mug.htm" TARGET="_BLANK"><u><font color=blue>energy mug</font></u></a> and other energy products from sante. They allow your cells to hydrate more effectively than regular water, and hydration is key to remove stuff from the cells, the stuff that causes the pain. The mug is about $60, and it is a good way to start.</p>
<p>The third thing I found is a book on acid alkaline inbalance. It was good information, but I tried the methods in the book without much success, to turn my extreme acidity towards the alkaline&#8230; until </p>
<p>I met this guy at a health expo that tested me (urine and saliva test on the spot) by the RBTI principles and gave me a certain kind of calcium, and other mineral products that finally my acidity became a passable number. But I still had the pain&#8230;</p>
<p>Until about a year ago I hear about some program about some codes that heal&#8230; and though it was expensive, I had not much to lose, I was stll in too much pain. I sent for them, and now, a year later, I am completely symptom free.</p>
<p>I actually didn&#8217;t notice when the pain went away&#8230; It must have been gone months ago, because I have been walking and dancing and having fun&#8230; just like nothing much to it. But yesterday, as I was talking to a client, I realized that I have zero pain, and I have started to smile a lot.</p>
<p>Now, I have no idea if the codes by themselves would have been enough, but if I could do it again, I would start with the codes&#8230;  as you can tell, I am in love with the codes.
