Inside This Issue
 In cities across the country this year, I have spoken of 2007 as being a year of Spiritual Harvest. The seeds that have been planted in our lives are now bearing their fruit. Did you see the spectacular Harvest Moon last month? It brings an energy of manifestation resulting from our efforts. As autumn approaches, it is time to look ahead and begin preparing ourselves for the energies of 2008. Next year will teach us about doing things in new ways. Stepping outside of our comfort zones to truly expand our potential. Many have ex-pressed their desire to me to increase our connection and communication. The new website is a result of that intention. I have been asked by Spirit to make myself more available to assist you, and the newsletter and podcasts we’ll be doing should answer that call. I’m also working on a new book, and it is my intention that we see it finished and published by August!
On October 9th, Yoko Ono unveiled the “Imagine Peace Tower” in Reykjavik, Ice-land that she and John Lennon had spoken about forty years ago. October 12th is the new moon, and the perfect time for planting the seeds of Peace. I saw a sign in a doctor’s office one day many years ago that read, “Peace is not the absence of problems, it is the presence of God.”
I pray that God, and the energy of Peace, be present in the hearts of all human-kind.
Namaste’.
Blog: Like A Moth To A Flame
One morning as I was putting the birdfeeders out on the back porch, I could see that a light was left on overnight. Throughout the summer, my field of vision from my desk is blessed with appearances of ruby-throated hummingbirds, iridescent indigo buntings and brightly colored goldfinches, to name a few. But the feeders can’t stay out overnight, otherwise, we’d be feeding the bears that occasion by, and we’ve reattached the iron bars that hold the feeders enough times to know they are not polite, even when invited to dinner.
As I looked to the side of the porch door, I saw a moth in pose, immobile, silent. It was a moth in vasana yoga pose, stretched and erect with it’s head facing toward the light and body in the Samadhi of focus. It was facing the light. Rigid.
How long, I wondered, did that moth sit there in rapture embraced by the brightest light it had ever seen? And was it the intensity of the light that had brought the moth to its present situation? A shell of its former self. The life force gone.
And then the thought came to me, “Is that how it would be for those who desperately seek release in the light of awareness?” Time can seem unbearably slow on the journey of awakening. We can find ourselves impatient, thinking things should be moving at a faster pace, the release of density and transformation into higher consciousness a distant shoreline which never seems to get any closer. But it’s there, just waiting for our readiness. Too soon, and it is possible the influx of Light would fry our little fragile human bodies. Faced toward the light. Rigid.
So let us instead choose to trust, because it is after all, all about trust. Trust that you are unfolding perfectly on your journey just as your soul desires. Trust that you are guided, and protected, and loved more than you can imagine. Trust that you are connected to all things, and far more powerful, far more beautiful, infinitely grander than our own galaxy.
Let us choose to clear our field of vision, so that we see the messages spirit sends our way. Let us choose to see through the illusions to the higher truth of who we are becoming.
Okay, so it’s about more than trust, it’s also about choice.
May you make the highest choices today.

It’s In The Stars
 The month of October starts its journey with the sun in the Air sign of Libra, and finishes with the sun in the sign of Scorpio whose element is Water. The keyword for Libra is balance, and its symbol is representative of the equilibrium Librans seek.
Wikipedia says “the next 30 days looks like its going to an amazingly fast paced time with many sudden surprises and dates-with-destiny. Events will unfold over the next 30 days to make everyone’s life very pleasant and exceedingly happy!”
The New Moon appears in Libra on the 12th, the day of our new website kick-off! The New Moon is a wonderful time for the planting of seeds and ideas. Mercury spends a little time in retrograde this month, and this occurrence can cause challenges in communication so be impeccable with your words. Also this month, Neptune in Aquarius aspects the Libran Sun, creating a feeling that everything will work out fine, despite Uranus in Pisces’ catalyzing energy. Pluto’s influence will give us the vision to see the major changes and transitions we have all been walking through, and to recognize the magnitude of our growth.
The biggest energetic shift folks will feel in their lives has to do with Saturn entering Virgo after spending the last two years in Leo. Saturn is the planet of responsibility and hard work, and teaches us through the obstacles we face. When in Leo, and its ruling planet the Sun, Saturn might have been working in your chart as an opposing force, where the light of the Sun would reveal what your karmic influence through Saturn would keep hidden. Not to worry. With Saturn in Virgo until October 2009, a solid foundation will be built with the lessons learned in its Leo transit. It is now time to move forward with the fruits of our labors of the past two years, and create a life filled with purpose.
