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.

THREE
TEXAS
SURGEONS
Three
Texas
surgeons
were
arguing as
to which
had the
greatest
skill.
The first
began:
"Three
years ago,
I
reattached
seven
fingers on
a pianist.
He
went on
to give a
recital
for the
Queen of
England."
The second
replied:
"That's
nothing. I
attended a
man in a
car
accident.
All his
arms and
legs were
severed
from his
body.
Two
years
after I
reattached
them, he
won three
gold
medals for
field
events in
the
Olympics."
The third
said:
"A
few years
back, I
attended
to a
cowboy. He
was high
on cocaine
and
alcohol
when he
rode
his horse
head-on
into a
Santa Fe
freight
train
traveling
at 100
miles per
hour. All
I had to
work with
was the
horse's
ass and a
ten gallon
hat.
Last
year he
became
president
of the
United
States.

THREE
RELIGIOUS
TRUTHS:
1.
Jews
do not
recognize
Jesus as the
Messiah.
2.
Protestants
do not
recognize
the Pope as
the leader
of the
Christian
faith.
3.
Baptists
do not
recognize
each other
in the
liquor store
or at
Hooters

WORDS OF
WISDOM / QUEST
FOR QUOTES
-
"Several
years later,
my family
and I moved
to a farm on the
Kona Coast
of Hawaii
where I
experienced
another
series of
spontaneous
altered
states... my
conscious
awareness
was brought
into contact
with that of
another man
in a most
dramatic
fashion. It
was as if I
was inside
his body as
an invisible
visitor or
witness. I
could see
what he was
seeing and
hear what he
was hearing.
I could
perceive his
thoughts and
emotions
almost as if
they were my
own, and yet
there were
two separate
personalities,
his and
mine,
existing
simultaneously
within the
one physical
aspect...."

continued) Hank

introduction

"An
unconstitutional
act is not law;
it confers no
rights; it
imposes no
duties; affords
no protection;
it creates no
office; it is in
legal
contemplation as
inoperative as
though it had
never been
passed."
Norton
vs. Shelby
County 118 US
425 p. 442.
- "The
general rule is
that an
unconstitutional
statute, though
having the form
and name of law
is in reality no
law, but is
wholly void and
ineffective for
any purpose;
since
unconstitutionality
dates from the
time of its
enactment, and
not merely from
the date of the
decision so

No one is bound
to obey an
unconstitutional
law and no
courts are bound

it." 16

- "A
man who dares to
waste one hour of
time has not
discovered the
value of
life."
Charles
Darwin, naturalist
(1809-82)
- "The
past year saw
a continuing
debate over
how sweeping
the
government's
power to fight
terrorism
ought to be.
The fight
stretched from
the scope of
the
surveillance
authority, to
the power to
detain
citizens and
immigrants, to
the
government's
ability to
keep
information
secret.... The
broad danger
is that a kind
of alternative
legal system
has come into
existence for
an ill-defined
category of
offenses
involving
national
security.
....the war
they are
intended for
may prove a
near permanent
state of
affairs, and
victory may be
difficult to
recognize...a
person may be
plucked out of
the protection
of the Bill of
Rights at the
whim of the ex
executive
branch of
government....If
through its
inaction,
Congress
effectively
cedes that
power to the
president, the
new rules will
reflect the
presidency's
interest at
the expense of
all others.
That's a
dangerous
prospect for
civil
liberties, and
in the long
run, for
effective
counterterrorism
as well.

"The
most
likely way
for the
world to
be
destroyed,
most
experts
agree, is
by
accident.
That's
where we
come in;
we're

professionals.
We cause

Nathaniel
Bornstein
via Parker
Mead
- "What
comes to
pass does so
not so much
because a
few people
want it to
happen, as
because the
mass of
citizens
abdicate
their
responsibility
and let
things
be".
Gramsci
- "It
is not God's
function to
create, or
uncreate,
the
circumstances
or
conditions
of your
life. God
created you,
in the image
and likeness
of God. You
have created
the rest,
through the
power God
has given
you. God
created the
process of
life and
life itself
as you know
it. Yet God
gave you
free choice,
to do with
life as you
will."

"... nothing

" Love is the
basic glue that
not only holds the
universe together
but is the main
promoter of its
ongoing
development. When
two particles join
together to form
an atom's nucleus
it is a primitive
form of love. When
two nuclei join
together to form a
chemical compound
it is again love
at work. When
compounds join to
form cells and
cells join to form
organisms and
organisms join to
beget offsprings,
all this is love
at work. And
finally when
humans join to
form nations and
nations join for
the sake of
planetary peace
and prosperity,
love is the prime
mover. So who says
"What's love
got to do with
it?"

RAW FOOD
RECIPE
Some
New Years Resolutions:
1.
I will go through my
refrigerator on
trash/garbage
pick-up day and throw
away all old, moldy,
limp fruits
and veggies and other
spoiled/old foods.
(Or, I will
throw on the compost
heap weekly,,,)
2. I will throw away
all almost empty
containers,
"marry" same
ones (this means pour
containers of
the same food into
one), throw away
seldom used
foods and other wise
consolidate and make
room for
all the lovely produce
I plan to store and
use.
3. I will wipe down
any spills in my
refrigerator at this
time.
4. I will ensure that
all produce is well
wrapped and
placed in the
appropriate part of
the refrigerator.
5. As long as I am
straightening things
out, I will
take note of what
foods I need in the
next few days.
I will buy them today.
6. I plan to be X
percent raw. (50%,
75%, 90%?).
The easiest way to do
this is to be sure
that each and
every meal is at least
X per cent raw. So,
each and
every meal that I eat
will be at least
50-75-90 percent raw.
(If you are 100% this
resolution simply
needs to read:
I plan to be 100% raw
all the time.)
7. If I stray
from Resolution Number
6,
I plan to immediately
give myself a mental
hug,
enjoy the
'transgression', be
loving toward myself
and therefore not give
my self negative
feelings
of guilt, and resume
Resolution Number 6
without
a worry or a thought.
8. If I happen to
stray from Resolution
Number 6 for a
long period of time, I
will note how I feel
physically
while eating foods
that I deem not
healthy for myself.
I shall avoid negative
self-talk that will
keep me from
living the lifestyle I
choose for myself even
longer.
I will remember that
living a healthy
lifestyle some of
the time is far better
than none of the time.
I will avoid the all
or nothing approach in
my habits.
9. I will happily
enjoy my healthy
lifestyle but will
not preach to others
especially to people
who have
expressed no interest.
I shall be
loving and
non-judgmental
both toward others and
myself.

MISCELLANEOUS
10-STEP PROGRAM
1. Throw out
nonessential numbers.
This includes age,
weight and height. Let
the doctor worry about
them. That is why you
pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful
friends. The grouches
pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn
more about the computer,
crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the
brain idle. "An
idle mind is the devil's
workshop," The
devil's name is
Depression.
4. Enjoy the simple
things. When the
children are young, that
is all that you can
afford. When they are in
college, that is all
that you can afford.
When you are on
retirement, that is all
that you can afford.
5. Laugh often, long and
loud. Laugh until you
gasp for breath. Laugh
so much that you can be
tracked in the store by
your distinctive
laughter.
6. The tears happen.
Endure, grieve, and move
on. The only person who
is with us our entire
life, is ourselves. Be
alive while you are
alive, don't put out a
mailbox on the highway
of death and just wait
in residence for your
mail.
7. Surround yourself
with what you love,
whether it is family,
pets, keepsakes, music,
plants, hobbies,
whatever. Your home is
your refuge.
8. Cherish your health.
If it is good, preserve
it. If it is unstable,
improve it. If it is
beyond what you can
improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt
trips. Go to the mall,
the next county, foreign
country, but not to
guilt country.
10. Tell the people you
love, that you love
them, at every
opportunity. AND ALWAYS
REMEMBER: Life is not
measured by the number
of breaths we take, but
by the moments that take
our breath away.
Today, may there be
peace within you. May
you trust God that you
are exactly where you
are meant to be. "I
believe that friends are
quiet angels who lift us
to our feet when our
wings have trouble
remembering how to fly.

thing for all of
us to remember:
take time to
live")

ANNOUNCEMENTS
NY
TIMES DOES ARTICLE
ON SHALOHA COOKBOOK.
On Wednesday,
Feb. 5, 2003, the
Dining and Wine
section of the New
York Times will
feature an article
by Alex Witchel
about Kona Beth
Shalom's SHALOHA
COOKBOOK and Karen
and Morty Breier.
You might want to
pick up a copy of
the Times on that
day or go to their
web-site www.nytimes.com
and click on
"Dining and
Wine" in the
"FEATURES"
section. We are both
excited about being
interviewed by Alex
Witchel, who we
showed around Kona
and had for lunch at
our Dome Home in the
Sky. We were
photographed by an
AP photographer a
few days later. It
should be a fun
article. It features
Karen's "KONA
NOVA" homemade
lox. You can order a
new Millennium
Edition of the
SHALOHA COOKBOOK by
going to the Kona
Beth Shalom web-site
www.konabethshalom.org
and clicking on
"COOKBOOK"
then clicking on
"ORDER
FORM". Each
book is $18 plus $5
for postage and
handling and all
money goes to the
Kona Beth Shalom

BREAST
CANCER STAMP
It
would be wonderful if
2003 were the year a
cure for breast cancer
was found. The notion
that we could raise $35
million by buying a book
of stamps is powerful! The
US Postal Service
recently released its
new "Fund the
Cure" stamp to help
fund breast cancer
research. The
stamp was designed by
Ethel Kessler of
Bethesda, Maryland.
It is important that we
take a stand
against this disease
that kills and maims so
many of our mothers,
sisters, friends.
Instead of the
normal $0.37 for a
stamp, this one costs
$0.40. The
additional $0.03 will go
to breast cancer
research. A
"normal" book
costs $7.40. This
one is only $8.00. It
takes a few minutes in
line at the Post Office
and means so much. If
all stamps are sold, it
will raise an additional
$35,000,000 for this
vital research. Just as
important as the money
is our support.
What a statement it
would make if the stamp
outsold the lottery this
week. What a statement
it would make that we
care.

PERSONALS:
You
are invited to
send in your
"Personals"
I
am pleased to
say that I am
returning to
Kona on 4th
February and
can stay for a
month with my
ticket
validity.
I am slowly
recovering
from the shock
of learning
about my
mother's death
and the
funeral.
I think a
month in Kona
will be very
healing for
me. I was
wondering if
you knew of
anyone who may
be able to
accommodate me
for a month?
I can pay $100
a week and do
work exchange.
Perhaps you
might put it
in your
newsletter if
there is time?
________________________________________________________
SPIRITUAL
MESSAGE
In
the Tao Te Ching
(54), is titled 'Go
By Love' via
Judith Lynne
Love
does not think about
love
For this reason is
it strong;
It does not act out,
Yet leaves nothing
undone.
Desire is intent
upon love,
For this reason is
it weak.
It always acts ,
Yet gets nothing
done.
Nurture love in the
Self, and love will
be genuine.
Nurture love in the
Family, and love
will be abundant.
Nurture love in the
Community, and love
will multiply.
Nurture love in the
Culture, and love
will flourish.
Nurture love in the
World, and love will
be ubiquitous.
Therefore:
Judge a person by
their love
Judge a family by
its love
Judge a community by
its love
Judge a culture by
its love
Judge The World by
its love.
How can I know the
love of the World ?
...
By judging my Self.
___________________________________________________________________________
AFFIRMATION
I travel safely wherever I go. There
is harmony, order, and balance in my
life and travel as
I move from
place to place. I am blessed and
guided in all of my activities. I
know the protection
and wisdom of
the Infinite travels with me
everywhere I go. I travel with
confidence, in safety, and in peace.

READER FEEDBACK
...
I look forward to the
NewThoughtWeekly Newsletter
it's the flipside of the
Newspaper, for me anyway. It's
got the best of what life
needs, Humor, Words of Wisdom,
and all of that other great information
on community events, and much
much more. I do what I can to
pass it on to other's not
fortunate enough to live Hawaii. Barbara
Concoby (Thank you
Barbara and thanks for the
good material you send me that
I often use to make the NTW
what it is.)

PEACE PRAYERS
Hindu Prayer for Peace
Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the Real Oh God, lead us from darkness to
light
Oh God, lead us from death to immortality Shanti, Shanti, Shanti unto all.
O Lord God almighty may there be peace in Celestial regions.
May there be peace on earth.
May the waters be appeasing.
May HERBS be wholesome, and may TREES AND PLANTS BRING PEACE TO ALL.
Mayall beneficent beings bring peace to
us May thy Vedic Law propogate peace all through the world.
May all things be a source of peace to us And may thy peace itself bestow
peace on all.
And may that peace come to me also.
Buddhist Prayer for Peace
May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be
freed from their illnesses.
May those frightened cease to be afraid and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power, and may people think of befriending one another.
May those who find themselves in
trackless, fearful wildernesses - the children, the aged, the unprotected
be guarded by beneficent celestials, and
may they quickly attain Buddhahood.
Zorastrian Prayer for Peace
We pray to God to eradicate all the misery in the world:
that understanding triumph over
ignorance, that generosity triumph over indifference,
that trust triumph over contempt, and
that truth triumph over falsehood.
Janist Prayer for Peace
Peace and Universal Love is the essence of the Gospel preached by all the
Enlightened Ones.
The Lord has preached that equanimity is the Dharma.
Forgive do I, creatures all, and
let all creatures forgive me.
Unto all have I amity, and unto none enmity.
Know that violence is the root cause of
all miseries in the world.
Violence in fact, is the knot of
bondage. 'Do not injure any living being."
This is the eternal, perennial, and unalterable way of spiritual life.
A weapon, howsoever powerful it may be, can always be superseded by a
superior one;
but no weapon can, however, be superior
to non-violence and love.
Jewish Prayer for Peace
Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, that we may walk the paths of
the most high.
And we shall beat our swords into ploughshares, and our spears into pruning
hooks.
Nations thall not lift up sword against nation - neither shall they learn war
any more.
And none shall be afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken.
Shinto Prayer for Peace
Although the people living across the ocean surrounding us,
I believe, are all our brothers and
sisters, why are there constant troubles in this world?
Why do winds and waves rise in the ocean surrounding us?
I only earnestly wish that the wind will
soon puff away all the clouds which are hanging over the tops of the
mountains.
Native African Prayer for Peace
Almighty God, the Great Thumb we cannot evade to tie any knot:
The Roaring Thunder that splits mighty trees; the all-seeing Lord up on high
who sees
even the footprints of an antelope on a rock mass here on earth.
You are the one who does not hesitate to
respond to our call.
You are the cornerstone of peace.
Native American Prayer for Peace
O Great spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you;
To your messengers in the four winds,
and to Mother Earth who provides for your children.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children
to love, to respect, and to be kind to each other,
so that they may grow with peace in
mind.
Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this Earth.
Muslim Prayer for Peace
In the name of Allah the beneficent, the merciful.
Praise be to the Lord of the Universe
who has created us and made us into tribes and nations
that we may know each other, not that we may despise each other.
If the enemy incline towards peace, do
thou also incline towards peace, and trust God,
for the Lord is the one that heareth and
knoweth all things.
And the servants of God, most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in
Humility,
and when we address them, we say
"PEACE"
The Bahia Prayer for Peace
Be generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity, Be fair in thy judgement,
and guarded in thy speech.
Be a lamp unto those who walk in
darkness, and a home to the stranger.
Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.
Be a breath of life to the body of humankind, a dew to the soil of the human
heart, and a fruit upon the tree of humility.
Sihk prayer for Peace
God adjudges us according to our deeds, not the clothes that we wear;
That truth is above everything, but higher still is truthful living.
Know that we attain God when we love, and only that victory endures in
consequences of which no one is defeated.
Christian Prayer for Peace
Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be known as the Children of God But
I say to you that hear, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, bless
those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
To those who strike you on the cheek
offer the other also, and from those who take away your cloak,
do not withhold your coat as well.
Give to everyone who begs from you, and
of those who take away your goods, do not aks them again.
And as you wish that others would to do you, do so to them.
