“…The first lesson of the spiritual life is that the phenomena are not important. What matters is what one does with an experience, or with one’s life – the fruit that it bears. That’s why The Center for Psychological and Spiritual Development is about development. If mental health is defined as the capacity to work and love, then one’s capacity for working productively and sharing love should be increased as a result.” – Jeffrey Rediger MD about his appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

“Like the original Chinese text, this book contains eighty-one chapters. Each chapter includes a poem for caregivers, evocative of the verses of the Tao Te Ching, followed by a reflection that presents practical guidance for navigating the emotional and physical hardships of caregiving. The resulting resource gently awakens readers to the grace, growth, and even joy possible at each step along their path.”

“In an intriguing book, Dr. Bob Curran explores the concept of Mankind’s attempts to create life and the “scientific” struggle to bring the dead back to life. Along the way there are some fascinating insights into the early world of the evolving sciences…Covering the span of history from earliest times until modern scientific experimentation, the book examines both the lore and the actual experience of the quest to create life and the myriad fears that have surrounded it. It will appeal to those who are interested in the evolution of science, the development of the concept of monsters or indeed in our own deep‐seated fears.”

” When we open the dream door for others, it can lead to a true communion of spirits. To play dream guide for another person, we need to know how to create a safe space where someone new to dream sharing can be helped to tell a dream, enter into a simple and focused discussion of that dream, receive helpful feedback and then be encouraged to take action to honor the dream and bring its energy into everyday life. I have invented a process that enables us to play dream guide in this way in just a few minutes. I call it the Lightning Dreamwork process, because it is meant to be quick, like lightning, and to focus energy, like a lightning bolt. The process is explained in several of my books, including The Three “Only” Things…”

“Welcome to a dynamic potential the Universe is presenting — all wrapped up in the new year of 2011! I’m particularly excited about this year because the energy that is the foundation of 2011 holds the ability to give us the power to creatively express balance within ourselves that can manifest in all physical aspects of our lives. We are being given a spiritual B-12 injection to shift our awareness and transform ourselves through all manner of inventive efforts.”

“Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. The book “Prescription for Nutritional Healing,” by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame under the category of “chemical poison.” Methanol breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde in the body. Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin. An EPA assessment of methanol states that methanol “is considered a cumulative poison due to the low rate of excretion once it is absorbed. In the body, methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic acid; both of these metabolites are toxic.” “

” There are now many of you who were once Atlanteans, for this is a great opportunity to actively participate in the harmonizing in a time of cacophony. Last time, you see, there was an allowing of destruction through blindness on the part of society, or through lack of effort to re-direct the trend. It is your chosen task to resolve your karma by actively participating now to prevent the past outcome from repeating itself in a remarkably similar way. This heals not only in an individual way, but also serves the group.”
