                                                        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.           via Glenys Spitze (no fan of dubya)
 
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...."  (to be continued)      Hank Wesselmen from the introduction to his book "Medicinewalker:Mystic Encounters on the Shaman's Path." Hank will be the guest speaker at NewThought on Sun.Mar16.

- "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 branding it.  No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound
to enforce it."    16 American Jurisprudence 2d, Sec. 177 late 2d, Sec. 256.

- "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.    On the Jan.3 WHT editorial page from the "Washington Post" titled "The stakes for liberty."

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." 
             Neale Donald Walsch from: Conversations With God, Book 1 via Hawaii Healing Arts Network e-newsletter www.Hawaii-Healing.com
 
- "... nothing short of impeachment will stop Bush. Can't there be some sex scandal conjured up about him so impeachment can happen?"        Glenys Spitze

- " 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?"                                                                                                                                                                                                        Morty Breier www.monthlymissive.org

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.
