Comments/thoughts/annoucments: I see old doors closing on hunger, poverty, and suffering; and I see new doors
opening on the just distribution of all resources. There is an incredible abundance on this planet and literally enough food
to feed everyone. Yet people are starving. The problem is not a lack of food. It is a lack of love. It is a consciousness
that believes in lack, plus people who feel that they don't deserve good in their lives. We must help raise the conscousness
of all people on the planet. To feed someone once is good, and they will be hungry again tomorrow. To teach a person how to
fish will enable them to feed themselves for the rest of their lives. Affirmation I like: I share my resources and my knowledge
with all of life.

Comments/thoughts/annoucments:
We need to treat ourselves as if we are someone who is deeply loved. All kinds of events come and go; yet, through it all,
the love for yourself is constant. This is not being vain or conceited. People who are vain or conceited have a lot of self-hatred
covered over by a layer of "I'm better than you." Self-love is simply appreciating the miracle of your own Being.
When I really love myself, I can't hurt myself, and I can't hurt another person. To me, the answer to world peace is unconditional
love. It begins with self-acceptance and self-love. I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love myself. A terrific affirmation
is: I accept myself exactly as I am right here and now. Love makes my world go round!"

Comments/thoughts/annoucments: thought for the day~ Since you alone are responsible for your
thoughts, only you can change them. You will want to change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its
own nature. Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts
you habitually entertain. Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness. ~Paramahansa

for the Day~ Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind
matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing
that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act. Ram Dass~

Comments/thoughts/annoucments:
WORDS TO LIVE BY Never deny hope to anyone. It might be all they have. Don’t make decisions when you are angry. Take
care of your posture. Don’t pay for a job that is not finished. Watch out for those who don’t have anything to
lose. Learn how to say “No” politely but promptly. Don’t expect life to be fair. Don’t hesitate to
lose a battle, if it can help you win the war. Don’t procrastinate, do things at the right time. Don’t fear saying:
“I don’t know” or “I am sorry” Watch a sunrise at least once each year. Look people in the eye.
Say “Please” and “Thank you” more frequently. Spend less than you make. Treat others the way you like
to be treated. Learn how to keep a secret. Acknowledge your mistakes. Always speak the truth or keep quiet if it can hurt.
Don’t share all that you hear or all that you think. Praise people, instead of criticizing them. Learn the art of listening.
Don’t believe all that you hear. Enjoy beauty. Don’t lose your control, breathe deeply. You are as you breathe.
Meditate for 30 minutes daily. Enjoy your rest! Preserve your friendships. Be honest, earn respect. You’ve got the right
to be happy! Discard hate and resentment, they affect you the most. Three things you don’t recover: Said words, time
that has passed, and opportunities. Do one thing at a time. Immorality exists. It is called knowledge. Ask what you don’t
know and remember it for when you are asked. Discover pleasure in the elemental: eating, breathing, walking, tasting, touching,
seeing, sleeping, and dreaming … Happiness is like a bank. Put in it as much as you can. Age is a matter of mind. If
you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter …

the phrase:"That person has a lot of baggage." I have used it a lot in talking about and with my adopted daughter
Christine. A thought I had about this phrase is this: "Unless a person can take their baggage and stop and set it down
and open up the case, go thru it and toss out the things that are no longer of use, and examine the things that are of meaning
and knowledge and lessons, then repack the case orderly and making it lighter to carry so that their journey along their personal
path, they will destined to struggle and stumble bent over missing things, experiences and people they might otherwise encounter
on that path."

Comments/thoughts/annoucments: Thought for the day Not to be able to
stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered
normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.

Comments/thoughts/annoucments: An exerpt
from The Prayer of Saint Francis by James Twyman When I need some understanding show me someone who needs mine, and when I
think of myself only draw my thoughts to those who are kind when I am so poor, show me someone who is in need, and when my
eyes are blind to what is holy let me see The Christ in each one that I feed. We all seek to be heard, to know that our thoughts,feelings
and perceptions matter. Oftentimes when life is most difficult we believe no one understands, or that no one is listening.
I think when Jesus spoke about feeding the poor, he also meant the poor in spirit. When we share with another aspect of self
we are in essence gifting to another from the heart, it is the quality of that gift that is in question. If Christ stood before
me now, in this moment in space and time what would I gift to him.

Comments/thoughts/annoucments: Thought
for the day~ Divine Love is not human 'romantic' love. It is of a spiritual nature, it is all-encompassing and unconditional.
Divine Love is often attributed only to God and/or spiritual beings. Yet as we are all sparks of the Creator (the Divine),
and as the Creator IS LOVE, we are therefore also Love - Divine Love is who we really are, yet in our human state and using
mostly only our five senses, we have forgotten this and we perceive other people and animals and nature as 'separate' from
ourselves. But we are all made of the same 'stuff' and are all therefore "ONE and all connected. This is confirmed on
a scientific level with Quantum Physics. It is our perception of separateness that causes all the woes we have in this world.
What we do to one, we do to ourselves. There is NO separateness, only ONE-NESS. namaste~

Comments/thoughts/annoucments: Hello all. I'd
like to continue to offer absent healing to any who wish it for themselves or others. This is conducted on sunday evenings
between 8-9 pm english time. If you would like to include yourself or others, all i require is a name, a location and a brief
description of what the healing may be for. See me in one of the rooms as and when and it will be my privelige to include
you or a loved one. By realising our self worth, we can then accept the value of others. Judgements fall away and true unconditional
acceptance can then clear our eyes to light

Comments/thoughts/annoucments: I have witnessed
some recent acts of cruelty in the room and I feel quite disturbed by them. I want to share some thoughts. I am reminded of
a psychology experiment where if you put a single rat in a cage and apply an electic shock, the poor little thing huddles
down frightened and remains very quiet. If you put a lot of rats in a cage, and do the same to all of them, they fight and
scrap. If the cv room has applied the electric shock, then we are all fighting and scrapping. It's been pretty awful for some
of us, and equally awful to watch. It's just too easy to provide a reason to be awful to our fellow human beings. History
is full of such examples. I have made a new intention of honouring my own ethical convictions to Love the people who come
in here, be kind to the people I do not love, and tolerate the people whose energies I am not coping with as a gesture to
world peace and as a hope that I contribute to the Light of the world. Even our enemies are part Divine and failure to see
it is our fault, not theirs. We can take control in our own small way. Perhaps the butterfly effect will happen. My little
ripple - and others who see what I mean or are already doing it, will practice real peace and harmony amongst ourselves -
the people who fundamentally delight us and that might give permission for others to relax and let their Love shine through
and their Light. Pollyanna??? I hope not. Will I lose my position in my lovely little clique?? I hope not. I trust my friends
are better than that. Otherwise, there are 7 billion of us. Friends are easy to get. There are plenty of beautiful people
around. We don't have to focus on the negative all the time.

I found this and wanted to share with all: "The Universe is in Perfect Order" The stars, the moon, and the sun are
all operating in perfect divine right order. There is an order, a rhythm, and a purpose to their pathways. I am part of the
Universe; therefore, I know that there is an order, a rhythm, and a purpose to my life. Sometimes my life may seem to be in
chaos, and yet in back of the chaos I know that there is a divine order. As I put my mind in order and learn my lessons, the
chaos disappears, and then order comes back. I trust that my life is really in perfect divine right order. My life, I know,
is in order at a very deep level. All is well in my world. Blessings to all of you.

Another writing by Tom Lake Shaman:
LETTING
GO TAKES UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off, it's the realization I can't control another. To let go is not to enable, but allow learning
from natural consequences. To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands. To let go is not
to try to change or blame another, it's to make the most of myself. To let go is not to care for, but to care about. To let
go is not to fix, but to be supportive. To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being. To let go is
not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their destinies. To let go is not to be
protective, it's to permit another to face reality. To let go is not to deny, but to accept. To let go is not to nag, scold
or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them. To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in the moment. To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody, but
to try to become what I dream I can be. To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future. To let go
is to fear less and love and accept more and remembering the time to unconditional love and accept is short!

Comments/thoughts/annoucments: Let it go by Tom Lake a shaman
Letting Go There are people that can walk
away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: Let them walk. I don’t want you
to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached
to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anyone
that left. People leave you because they are not joined to you and if they are not joined to you, you can’t make them
stay. Let Them Go! It doesn’t mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in your story is over.
If you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to
Let It Go! If you are holding on to past hurts and pains Let It Go! If someone can’t treat you right, unconditionally
love and accept you back and see your worth Let It Go! If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction Let It Go!
If you have a bad attitude Let It Go! If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better Let It Go! If you are stuck
in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level Let It Go! If you are struggling with the healing of a broken heart
Let It Go! If you keep trying to help someone, who won’t even try to help themselves Let It Go!

of the chat rooms. I do have a comment: All though I don't mind my picture on your website, I still would have appreciated
it if I had a notification of you doing so. Maybe something to think about the next time. Some highly energetic persons come
here to join this place and if highly energetic persons see pictures and unintentionally make contact with the person on the
picture it can be unpleasant or not the right timing. If you notify the persons from whom you would like to post a picture
off on your website this can be prevented, simply because they know a picture of them is online. Thanks hope to see you soon

I had a look at the premieres.com website and the goldring.wetpaint.com website for the goldring game Quite number of people
have said they have had lots of problems with that site , their computer freezes, it doesn’t work right.. it locks up
etc i had a look at the site and it seems to be basically OK...BUT, BUT, BUT … you may see a globe that turns and flags
showing the location of people currently looking at that page and red dots that show the location of people that have looked
at that page... You have probably seen web pages with counters that show how many visitors the site has had. There is one
on the entry page of my site at stevezone.com at the bottom, but not on any other of my web pages. Now, that globe is just
a glorified hi faulting hit counter.. The problem is… it runs in java… The same programming language as the
chat room does. It is provided by a separate company http://www.revolvermaps.com/ and I am pretty sure the problem is caused
by its java programming being not very well done… sure it looks nice... But scratch the paint and there’s the
rust underneath sort of. We all know that CV and Orbode occasionally boot people out for no reason at all… I am fairly
sure that the problems people have had when looking at these sites come from some programming glitch. If you look at these
sites when you have the chat room open its at its worst .. but it does seem to cause some problems even when run on its own.
SO, I will not be using the globe add-on on my site though I think it is very pretty… and I have recommended to angelo
he doesn’t use it on his . As for the gold ring thing.. I won’t be going there anyway… cuz i don’t
agree with its ideas. Steve.. Marsupialman
