                                            ABOUT 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.

HUMOR (Jewish)
 
CLEAN GLASS
    I went into a Jewish restaurant with a friend of mine who's a bit hypochondriac. I ordered a glass of tea and he said "I'll have some too, and make sure the glass is clean."
    A little while later the waiter came back with our two teas. "OK" he said,"which one of you wanted the clean glass.?"

PREFERS KTA
    Two ladies were talking. " I think women like us should take a greater interest in politics. Tell me what do you think of the Common Market?" I still prefer KTA" said the second.

BIRTHDAY PRESENT
    Bennie and Moe, living in NY wanted to give their mother, living in Kona, a new and different birthday present. They went from store to store until to their delight, they found a parrot that spoke Yiddish. This astonishing bird cost $500 but the devoted sons decided it was worth it. Think of the hours of pleasure their old mother, living in Hawaii, would derive conversing with this extraordinary parrot; and think of the admiration the bird would elicit among mamma's friends...
    So the sons bought the beautiful gilded cage placed the parrot inside and had the singular birthday gift packed and shipped to Kona. In great excitement they telephoned: "Mamma, mamma how did you like your present.
    "Delicious."

"AHA!" SAYS GOLDSTEIN
    Goldstein sat down at Rapport's restaurant and ordered a bowl of borscht. The waiter brought it and set it down in front of him.
    A few minutes later Goldstein calls back the waiter.
    "Is there something wrong with the soup?" the waiter asks.
    "Yes" Goldstein says.
    "What's wrong?" says the waiter.
    "Taste it" says Goldstein.
    "Taste it?" says the waiter.
    "Taste it" says Goldstein.
    The waiter, meaning to comply with the customer's request, searches the table for the soup spoon.
    "Where's the spoon? the waiter asks.
    "Aha!" says Goldstein.

One foggy morning just before dawn, I experienced a full-fledged altered state of consciousness that occurred spontaneously, without the catalyst of any spiritual practice or mind-altering substances. While deep in this expanded state, I had a close encounter with what at tribal person might call sprit. This episode was followed by several other vivid experiences accompanied by ... In those days I worshiped solely at the alter of science...." (to be continued)                                 Hank Wesselmen from the introduction to his book "Medicinewalker:Mystic Encounters on the Shaman's Path."
