I've been going through so much change myself, as I'm sure we all have.

I went to this awesome Yoga get-together on Saturday night. A fellow Yoga teacher, who I met at Rod Stryker's training, organized this gathering. There is something so incredibly powerful about connecting with like-minded people. I thought everyone who would be there would be a Yoga practitioner, but was surprised that most of the people were spiritually minded, but just didn't necessarily practice Yoga poses. (However, several people expressed interest in getting into the practice of the Asanas. It does just make so much sense, when we realize the incredible physical benefits the poses have to offer.) I do love the poses, I gotta say. There was even live music and drumming and it was amazing to be able to just allow my body to start moving spontaneously in the Asanas and a little bit of dance and to feel free enough in myself to allow my body to move.

The teacher, Liz, who organized the gathering, read from this book called Three Magic Words by U.S. Andersen. This morning I attended a service at a place called the Center for Spiritual Living. It was awesome. When I went in the bookstore, they had this book there. I've only just begun it, but the foreword is very powerful. I would like to share it with you here. Before I do, I would just like to say that the answers we are seeking are within. In these times when it feels like the unknown is all around us, we can realize the peace that passes all understanding by simply turning within. As Rod Stryker mentioned in his newsletter, this is the time for allowing the stillness to speak. Om Shanti!

"This is the age of uncertainty. This is the time of emotional upset and nervous instability. This is the era when man, surverying the universe from atop the heap of his material accomplishments, sees his insignificance in comparison to the stars, understands how puny is his strength in comparison to atomic power. This is the time when man, in his headlong rush to master the elements and harness nature's energies, has come far enough to know that he treads the wrong path to his own security. For there is no security in machines or electricity or electronics or atomic power.

What am I? What caused me? Why am I here? Where am I going? These are the questions of the human soul that demand an answer. Their resounding echoes are in the offices of our psychiatrists, in our penal institutions and our homes for the insane and depraved and wicked. Their anguished cries are on our battlefields, in our uprooted families, in every charred ember of every burned village and pillaged town that exists in the wake of the hordes of humanity who have cut off their ties from God and from hope and from divine reality.

For man is not an animal that exists upon the earth for a day, a freak of existence in a maelstrom of chaos. The human soul does not exist who at some cloistered moment has not reach out with timid fingers and touched God.

No circumstance or fact or event or thing exists that does not have a reason, and so it is with man. All harnessing of nature's elements and powers, all creation of material wealth and posessions are but passing fancies, things of the moment, for man enters into life naked, and naked he departs. The only thing, the single important thing that concerns his existence on earth, is the discovery of his soul.

For man is not body alone. No human being can bear to live who regards himself as only a freak occurrence in a freak circumstance. Man is spirit, clearly and without dispute. Man is the essence of the mighty intelligence that guides and controls the universe. Man lives in this intelligence; he is a part of it and the whole of it. He is as small as his temporal life and as great as his spiritual life, for the intelligence from which he comes is greater than all, greater than the far reaches of space, greater than the power that holds the planets in their courses. This intelligence is man's to use as he sees fit. It is God-given, a divine birthright, and is denied to no man except by himself.

In the pages of Three Magic Words, formerly called The Key to Power and Personal Peace, you will learn of the unlimited power that is yours. You will learn how you can turn this power to work for you, here on earth, to make your life majestic and overflowing with good. Three Magic Words is not a religion or a sect or a society. In its entirety it is a series of essays aimed at revealing to you your power over all things. You will learn that there is only one mover in all creation and that mover is thought. You will learn that there is only one creator and that creator is the Universal Subconsious Mind, or God. You will learn that this creator creates for you exactly what you think, and you will be shown how you can control your thoughts, not only to obtain answers to your problems but to create in your experience exactly what you desire.

You will not do this in a day or a week or even a month; but do it you will if you keep heart and keep faith. It requires only a few minutes of your time each day, a few minutes that will reward you with greater vistas in life, greater hope and promise than has ever been dreamed.

There is a cause! There is a reason! There is a power greater than you are, which you are a part of, which you can use to make your life good and great and vigorous and full of abundance!

Political beliefs aside, whoever becomes the next President of the United States, may the change be positive and bring about peace and abundance for the people of our country, our world and Mother Earth herself.Read more
