1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better than "here".

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this. You can remember any time you wish ...

Thnx JIM

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world.
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade,
But do not be disheartened,
The source they come from is eternal, growing,
Branching out, giving new life and new joy.
Why do you weep?
The source is within you
And this whole world is springing up from it.

Jelaluddin Rumi
13th Century Persian Poet

All is in divine and perfect order. Your soul remembers its plan, even if you do not, and it will drag you along whether you want to go or not!

This is why surrendering is always a great and wonderful thing to do, as even if things are very evident, even though they have come as a complete surprise, surrendering can place one in a true place of alignment ... and this is when the miracles and synchronicities happen.

We are just now beginning the process of living in total harmony with the earth and the cosmos. Until we are really and completely there, most of us must have money to survive and we must live within the old systems to a degree for awhile longer.

And even when we are able to live off grid and in harmony with the earth and cosmos, we will still need to have a community of support.
We cannot do it all ourselves. We were not meant to.
And this involves those within the community being in states where they are now willing to let go of much of their egos and know what their own roles and contributions are ... knowing that they do not wear all the hats or control them.

This week's full Moon is the biggest full Moon of 2007.
It's no illusion. Some full Moons are genuinely larger than others and Thursday night's will be a whopper.

Geologists blame among other things a warming climate, altering the landscape and perhaps the availability of water to high-elevation ecosystems. Collier is shrinking faster than most of the 35 glaciers in the state.
