Along the Spiritual Path

Today I recieved an e-mail from
The Marketing Minute
by Marcia Yudkin, Marketing Expert and Mentor

Talk about syncronicity – here is her post

You’ve slaved over your product and your marketing copy – or over a blog post, position paper or proposal.
Your audience – not just one person, but a chorus of four or five – offers a response that’s radically off the mark.
One of two reactions is very common:
* “Ouch!” You withdraw, lick your wounds and sulk.
* “You’re wrong!” A vigorous counterattack ensues.
Hard as this might be, don’t take the feedback as a personal failure or evidence that people are hasty readers, sloppy thinkers or downright stupid.
Instead, communication has failed. Communication has a sender and a receiver. Consider therefore that you are 50 percent responsible for the misfire.
Take a deep breath and turn on your curiosity:
* What did you say or do – or not say or do – that led to that impression?
* What can you change or add to help people receive your message as intended? If it’s too late to modify what went out, learn for next time.
Getting upset or angry about feedback is natural. I’ve been there, too. Transcend that, though, and your marketing gets better and better.

I have been ‘attempting’ to be a content writer on a talent agency’s blog. I got a note earlier this week saying, ‘ The blog posts of ***** agency have a required word range of xxx-xxx words. Both the blog posts you have done are below the minimum range. [communication - I forgot this requirement]

It has also been pointed out that no creativity is being shown in the posts Can you please address these problems in the current and future posts? You can use the previous posts as a guide for style’. [ahh, creativity is definitely in the eye of the beholder - I need to find some]

Thank heavens for Marcia’s e-mail today. I had withdrawn – not to sulk, but feeling not my best. I will move along now and learn from my mistakes.

So often we drop back into our old thoughts / patterns. I was very happy to recieve a cosmic prod.

This excerpt was taken from Coast to Coast am.com  newsletter about the July 2 show hosted by George Noonan

Dreams & Intuition:

… Motivational expert ( audio programs) continued on the topic of dreams in the second hour. According to Ruben, dreams are where the third and fourth dimensions intersect, a place he calls “the bus stop between worlds.” It is in the altered state of dreaming that ominous truths can be revealed, he explained, noting the importance of trusting the intuitive perceptions one brings out of the dream world. As an example, Ruben recounted a dream he had about his little boy being crushed under a car as it rolled down a steep driveway. Three days later the exact circumstances unfolded in real life, Ruben said, but this time he was able to pull his son to safety. …

Reading the excerpt above, reminded me of an experience I had the summer before my 19th birthday. My friend and co-worker Judy and I were on our way from Trenton, NJ to Wildwood, NJ. We were on a quest to find a place to stay on our upcoming vacation.

Several nights before I had a dream. I saw a vehicle pull across in front of me. In this dream, I downshifted to 2nd gear (no automatic transmissions back then) and then engaged the emergency brake and was ok. I told my parents about this dream when I woke up and knowing about my upcoming trip to Wildwood, they encouraged me to get my breaks checked. I did so, and the fluid was filled and the brakes adjusted. So the next day Judy and I headed for Wildwood. As we started off I told her about my ‘crazy’ dream and we both laughed.

About 30 minutes down the road, I started to recognize the area as where my dream took place. I was in the left lane, going about 60 mph (the only speed other than stop that I knew at that time).  A farm pickup truck was on my right. It speeded up and made a left turn right in front of my car. I hit the breaks and the peddle went down to the floorboards. An incredible, sickening  feeling. Without the dream, I would not have been able to think of any alternatives to stop my car from hitting the pickup truck. I ended up using the emergency break and then downshifting. The only thing different from my dream was that I did these things in reverse of the dream.

The outcome was that I stopped my car in time. No one was hurt. My problem was that now I had no brakes and almost 2 more hours to drive. I moved over to the shoulder and drove extremly slowly to the next intersection. I was on 206 near the intersection of 561 in Hammonton, NJ. In those days there was no Atlantic City Expressway, so anyone traveling from Bucks County in PA to any of the shore points drove through ‘the pines’ on all sorts of back roads and Hammonton was the point where we started through the pines for the lower shore points.

OK. I had the dream and we were safe. Now what? I drove, still  on the shoulder, with the car almost stalling out, as I was afraid to go faster than I could roll to a stop. Then up ahead was a full service gas station. The owner put my car up on the lift and gave me the bad news – my gas line had split. It was Sunday and no parts dealers were open. He said that he thought that he just might be able to jerry-rig a new one. It would last me until I could get to a service station in a few days and get a new part.

He had a bunch of junk cars and scrambled parts and using a blow torch and a bunch of tools, created a new breakline for my car. I was not used to someone so creative and so honest. He only charged me a few dollars and only took 2 or 3 hours . But when you are a teenager and on your way to the shore any delay is too much.

Yes, our trip was interupted but we were safe and sound thanks to my crazy/intuitive dream.

A year and a half ago, I re-connected with a lady I had met in a wonderful metaphysical training. She wanted to participate in a program called SHARE (combined purchasing power and volunteerism  are the keys to this program). At thanksgiving, I had watched the TV clips about volunteers helping serve food and thought I’d like to do something where I could help others with food (intent). Just a week later Mary called and explained her idea of becoming a host group (synchronicity). What I have noticed is that I now have more food that I ever had expected. (abundance).

For 2 hours of volunteering to help someone else and $20.00 you can receive $45.00 of food. Such a bargain. In addition, joining this group has a trickle down effect. Once we started helping others, all sorts of good things started happening in our lives. What we are wondering is that if helping others has brought such abundance and joy into our lives, why hasn’t it caught on?

Anyone wanting to learn more can go to  http://www.sharefoodprogram.org. This program does not have anything to do with your income; everyone is eligible. The only requirement is that you help someone else.

It seems like all levels of my life have been impacted by this one small thing. I started meeting more and more metaphysical people, my life itself seems so much better, and I have adapted to the reality that I am now a retired senior citizen. In other words I am happy,  joyful, blessed. No I am not rich (by any means), but I am content and able to manage with what I have. Do not misunderstand what I am saying, I still have bumps in the road – challenges to be dealt with. The difference now is in how I am experiencing everything. I am so thankful for all these changes and I feel that they are the result of reaching out to help others.

Peter Moon has been researching and untangling the quantum phenomena with regard to time travel ever since he met Preston Nichols in 1990 and coauthored “The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time”.
Last night he was the guest speaker at the MUFON society meeting. Their web address is http://www.MufonPA.com.

Arriving early, a tall grey haired man with a winning smile came towards me and introduced himself. Turned out it was Peter. I watched him do this with each and every person who arrived. This set the tone for a very pleasant evening.

If his books are anything like his speaking style, they will be ‘user friendly’ and not so technical, even though he writes about technical subjects. His site http://www.skybooksusa.com/books/pmoon.htm lists books connected with a lot of events having to do with time travel and mysterious events. The descriptions found there are facinating. I bought my first book, “Synchronicity and the Seventh Seal“, last night and can not wait to get started reading.

He started the evening by talking about cyclical events surrounding the August 11th -14th dates.
August 11 is the given birthday of Isis (got to love that lady)
August 12, 1943 = date of the Philadelphia Experiment
August 12, 1963 = event in Brentonwood, NY (ITT)
August 12, 1983 = Montauk Project
August 14, 2003 = The Northeast Blackout of 2003
Can’t wait for 2023!!

He weaved these events into his research and then began to talk about his trips to Romania and the discovery of a new Sphinx (a megalith in the Bucegi Mountains). Not being a great note taker, I include an exerpt from the e-mail I recieved tor this event.

(more…)
