Seasons Greetings, Sacred Path Community,
I hope that you and your loved ones had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the celebration of Chanukah and looking forward to Christmas as we close out 2010 and welcome in 2011. A New Year marks the opportunity for new beginnings; therefore, it’s a perfect time to recommit to your intentions as you continue to improve your life. Those of you who were at the Phoenix Rising Fall Retreat are well on your way to following up on the breakthroughs you created for yourself on the mountain. These past couple of years have been challenging for many, and as we approach the fateful date of December 21, 2012, it’s most important to put our lives in order and rise up to fulfill our destiny as we are called on to make a positive difference in our own lives and those of others and the world at large.
How Do We Get Ready For 2012?
“Realize that the higher self, the inner voice, is you. Bring your projections home as your own developmental potential. Ask that deeper self to take dominion within your personality selves, and shift your identity from your ego to your essence. This is the key step to being born as a more universal human. Then, find life purpose. Ask to know what you are born to do. Follow the compass of joy. Seek out those who affirm the highest in you. Where two or more are gathered in the name of that highest dimension or your being there, ‘I Am’ is in your midst. Everyone is needed. Everyone is called. The greatest blessing any one of us can have is to say, ‘yes’ to the dormant potential within us. Reach out to those who attract you, and connect with as many others doing the same as you possibly can.” Barbara Marx Hubbard (Evolutionary Futurist)
The epidemic of bullying across the country contributing to the increase in teen-age suicide has sparked national concern prompting anti-bullying measures that are now being passed. In this newsletter we are including information to assist you in dealing with the problem of bullying. You may know someone who is currently suffering, and this information may save a life.
My friend and colleague, Dr. Bruce Derman, who was one of the presenters at our day for men and women has published his latest book, titled The Hole: A fable that takes you on a journey through the struggle with emptiness in your life. Bruce suggests that “This is a fable for anyone who has dared to ask the question: Do I keep trying to fill the HOLE or do I accept my emptiness? Emptiness lies beneath the core of everyone's journey, and understanding this concept is crucial in order to find peace in one's life. Travel with Dirk and Dawn in their countless struggles to fill the HOLE, so that you can learn the secrets of this intense human dilemma.” If you attended the Colloquium, you had an opportunity to hear Bruce speak about emptiness and nothingness where we tend to fear that life is meaningless. If you purchased and read the book, you learned how to take the journey to transforming your fears, as well as how to accept your own emptiness and discover a love, passion and power that can serve as a guide for the rest of your life. I really enjoyed the fable and concur with Bruce’s premise. I recommend it to you and suggest that it would make a great holiday gift. Other books by Dr. Derman: We'd have a Great Relationship if it weren't for you, and We could've had a Great Date if it weren't for you. You can obtain these books from Bruce’s web site: therelationshipdoctor.net or from amazon.com.
Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday season and a joyous New Year,
Stephen
