NEW THOUGHT CENTER OF HAWAII

In a world being portrayed as a checkerboard pattern of good and evil, we New Thought practitioners hold to the belief that we are all sparks of the divine, rays of the great spirit, Christ conscious souls, Allah's children and that, with time on our side, we will eventually manifest a healed and inclusive world in which this truth is its finest expression.

By providing a loving, accepting, non-judgmental community, we at NewThought Center of Hawaii create a sanctuary for the nourishment, development, and evolution of each person's unique spiritual path.

The circle we sit in represents our inclusiveness and our equality. We have no minister. We take turns facilitating, and we minister to each other. In addition to sharing our own spiritual insights, we invite teachers from all wisdom traditions. We invite and honor such variety and in ourselves and in the world around us. We understand that no single source has exclusivity of spiritual truth, health and joy and that there is much to be learned from many of these sources.

We gather every Sunday at 10 a.m. in Kealakekua at Pualani Terrace just south of the Kealakekua Library. You are invited to join the circle. Morty Breier pres. and board of NTCH.

CARS & COMPUTERS via Ed Bourne
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives:
At a recent computer exposition (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly
compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated:
"If General Motors had kept up with the technology like the computer
industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, GM issued a press release stating:
"If General Motors had developed technology like Microsoft,

we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You
would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the
windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before
you could continue. For some reason, you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would
cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which
case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was
reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but
would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would
all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you
out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the
door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to
learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would
operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

WORDS OF WISDOM / QUEST FOR QUOTES

- "The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., April 4, 1967 via Larry Morningstar

- "In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time, no one was left to speak up." Pastor Martin Neimoeller via L.Morningstar

- "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." Albert Einstein
- "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

- "Just to be clear ibogaine has been a "Schedule 1" drug since 1970. Rev. Dennis Shields, Religion of Jesus Church referring to Ibogaine, an effective "addiction interrupter" according to the Journal of the American Medical Assoc. "Schedule 1" is a DEA designation that indicates the substance is "dangerous, addictive, and without any medicinal value." ( http://www.TheReligionofJesusChurch.org )
- "I predict that being an effective "addiction interrupter" the federal government (DEA) will either make it illegal, or delay its use for another 5 years while it undergoes government review. After all, dealing with illegal drugs is BIG business and in today's corporate plutocracy, profits always come before people.)

WORTHY WEBSITES

What's yours? Let NTW know.

_____________________________________________________________________

ATTACHMENT

"I BELIEVE" are teachings from a 92 old woman with much to share.

    Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
    I believe-that our background and circumstances may have influenced who
we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
    I believe-that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you

every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe-that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want
them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I believe-that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

RAW FOOD RECIPE

'"CUCAMA" JUICE aka "JICUMBER JUICE"

1 large cucumber (unpeeled)

1 medium to large jicama (skinned)

Garlic salt (to taste)

Cayanne pepper (dash of)

Cut to fit juicer intake, and juice (I prefer a "Green Star" for easy operation &cleanup and maximum output )

Sip savory juice right away, refrigerate, or freeze for later.

Mix pulp into veggy salad, or add hemp oil, heart 'o hemp and sunflower seeds and eat.

Compost as last resort.

MISCELLANEOUS

EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM NOAH'S ARK Via Isaiah Landers

- Don't miss the boat.
- Remember that we are all in the same boat.
- Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
- Stay fit. When you're 80 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
- Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
- Build your future on high ground.
- For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
- Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
- When you're stressed, float awhile.
- Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
- No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

PERSONALS:

- The owner of my current residence returns to the island January 20th, and I am eager to discover a new home for myself. It should be one that provides a pleasant and supportive place for me to do my sound healing work, both in private sessions and in small groups. I would prefer a cooler elevation anywhere from above the airport southward to Captain Cook. A two bedroom home with an ocean view would be nice. Actually a long term housesit with a baby grand piano in good working order would be really great! (Well, why not! we're talking about manifesting something wonderful here.) If anyone knows of anything that would be appropriate, please call me (Judith Lynne) at 987-8099. Mahalo nui loa!

- I am looking for an ohana or apartment to rent starting in January. I am also open to a "care taking" situation.

I need a place that will accept my cat! I'd like a place with a washer and dryer, in the area off of Ali'i near the

Keauhou Beach Hotel or Mauka, or Capt. Cook area or Holualoa or as far north as the Palisades.

I'm willing to pay $500-$600. Tigerpawpercussion@turquoise.net

- Seeking a space to rent in a private garden or land to put up my tent with access to flowing water near a street in Kealakekua, Captain Cook, Kailua or Honaunau. Susanne; anancy4webfairy@yahoo.com

SPIRITUAL MESSAGE

THE BRICK

An Ambitious Man Looks To The Stars, But A Wise Man Looks In A Persons Heart

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood
street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids
darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he
saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a
brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back
to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped
out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked
car shouting,

"What was that all about and who are you? Just what ! the heck
are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a
lot of money. Why did you do it?" The young boy was apologetic.
"Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded.
"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face and off his
chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my
brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair
and I can't lift him up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned
executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?
He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.

He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy

handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything

was going to be okay.

"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger.
Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his
wheelchair bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a
long, slow walk back to the Jaguar.! The damage was very noticeable, but
the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent
there to remind him of this message. "Don't go through life so fast that someone has
to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen,
He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice. via Barbara Concoby

AFFIRMATION

ON GIVING

Recognizing my oneness with all life and knowing that life gives unconditionally, I openly and freely,

for I know I can not deplete the source of my supply. I give with an attitude of love and compassion

and without expectation. As I give, I rejoice in the inner reward of my sharing.

READER FEEDBACK

- The present 'weekly' is stuffed with a program of enrichment, hope and humor.

Sounds like the best balanced diet for Kona.
Forever admiration, Scarlett

- Hey Jerry, The newsletter is a wonderful gift. Thank you .

- Re: God's voice mail. I certainly hope that if heaven is run in English, the voice will say,"Your call will be answer in the order IN WHICH it was received." People have been hearing "the order it was received' for so long that they don't notice that it's incorrect. AB
