                                                        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.

- "Peace is also patriotic"                         via Matt Binder

- "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.
via Roger Christie, Hilo
 
- "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.    On the Jan.3 WHT editorial page from the "Washington Post" titled "The stakes for liberty."

- "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." 
             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. 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.
                                                                     via David Holzman ("A good thing for all of us to remember: take time to live")

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.

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.                                  Via Stanley Leffler

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?
Look forward to seeing you soon, love Christine  christine.edney@btinternet.com

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.
