LEROY BULL!  MARCH 2??? MAP DOWSING WORKSHOP!   Leroy Bull was the President of the American Society of Dowsers from 2001-2003.  Leroy is an accomplished Water Dowser and an excellent map dowser.   He always offers a session in Map Dowsing at the annual ASD Convention.  Leroy will be accompanying his wife Diane to Toronto the last week in March as Diane will be taking Robert Gilbert's BioGeometry Foundation Training.  He has agreed to offer a Map Dowsing class one day that week.  Details have not been set up.   If you are interested in this class watch our website, and/or  call/email me.

MORE CD's:     There will most probably be a CD available for the January 2006 meeting (featuring Henry Evering, Hugh Magill and Shelley Bourne) and for the February 2006 meeting (featuring Ellie Drew) -- available at the March 21st meeting.

ELLIE DREW'S BOOKS:    We all sold out of Ellie Drew's 2 books when she was here.  I was planning on getting more over the summer for September, but I've been getting phone calls from people who would like them.   I might be able to get more for the April 18th meeting.  If you want the books, please email/call to let me know.  To find out more about her products go to:  ELLIE.

Did you bring cookie tins to the December 2005 Social?   I have 2 cookie tins --- a blue-ish one and a red-ish one -- that had delicious cookies from the December 2005 social.  If they were your tins, please let me know to return them to you at the next meeting.  Thank you so much for your kindness and the yummy cookies.  They were good fuel for typing the January 2006 newsletter.

Did you leave... at the December 2005 Social?::   Maggie Kambanis kindly picked up a wooden salad bowl and other dishes that were left at the December 2005 social and has given them to me.  Let me know if they are yours so they can be returned at the next meeting and get them out of my home.  Thank you.

Did you leave anything at a meeting?    I am the last one out of the meetings and do a "sweep" before I leave.  Stuff is always left.  Books, papers, coats, umbrellas, handbags, pendulums.  If I find something I take it home with me and hope someone calls soon and picks it up.  Someone had left a raincoat with me for 6 months before he picked it up.   There is always at least one item left behind at each meeting.  Why is this?

TOTAL HEALTH SHOW LINE UP:  The annual Total Health Show, which takes place March 31, April 1 & 2, will seem like a  Toronto Dowsers reunion.   TH, which continues to attract over 10,000 people each year, is featuring several of our fine speakers.   Thanks to our efforts:    Dr. Robert Gilbert, Dr. Magda Havas and David Alan Slater are new invited speakers.   Art Martin, our November 2003 speaker, will also give a presentation at Total Health.  GTA area favorites, Alicja Aratyn and Dr. Sabina DeVitashall be there as well.  Alicja spoke to our group: November 2000, February 2001 and February 2005.  Sabina spoke to us November 2002.   It is also expected that Pierre Noreau and Anne Landry, who bring us the Lecher Antenna, will have a booth at the show.  In addition to the Lecher Antenna, Pierre, a 4th generation herbalist, offers products produced from medicinal plants.  You can see Pierre's excellent website at: www.lesproduitsmathias.com/

ROBERT GILBERT WORKSHOP at TOTAL HEALTH:   "Inner Teachings & Practices from the World’s Great Spiritual Traditions".  Sunday,  6-9,  $65.  Tickets through Total Health.

"For thousands of years, Sacred Geometry knowledge has been a closely guarded secret. Virtually every great spiritual tradition on earth teaches these hidden patterns of creation to its own initiates, but rarely to the public. This veil of secrecy has only begun to lift in the last few decades, with multiple spiritual traditions offering unprecedented releases of their inner teachings. Join Dr. Gilbert for a rare, beautifully illustrated glimpse into the blueprints of life and creation itself. Topics include: protection practices; hidden code in Kabbalah; blueprints of human energy body; secrets of Egyptian temple science; insights from Indian, Chinese, Greek and esoteric Christian traditions."

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of  Nora McRoberts, one of our very devoted, supportive and appreciative long time  members.   Nora passed, peacefully, Wednesday March 1st at 5:00. Cancer had spread to her lungs.  Nora will be greatly missed.   She was an avid dowser and a very spiritually connected person who sought to help others.  She cared deeply about people and our environment.  Her warm heart, friendship and Therapeutic Touch was a blessing to us all.   A memorial service was held Saturday, March 4th.   The absence of her energy here is felt by her family, friends, community and the Toronto Dowsers.   Please take a moment to thank Nora for her many fine contributions and the example she set and send her love and blessings.   She was one of the good ones.  Thank you.

Dr. Ibrahim Karim, of Cairo Egypt: Founder of the BioGeometry(TM) system of Energy Balancing,  shall speak to us April 18th.  Some of the topics he will speak to us about are:   He will present to us:  Scientific explanations of Ancient Egyptian Temple Science,  BioGeometry projects in Switzerland to clear Electro-Magnetic Pollution,  BioGeometry projects throughout Europe and the Middle East, etc.

A biography and article by Dr. Karim was included in our previous, February 2006 newsletter.   Part 1 of  a 2 part article on Radiesthesia is included in this issue, below.  The description for his talk and Part 2 of the article shall be included in next month's newsletter.

Toronto Camera Club:  March 2006 events: Sorry to be so late in getting this info out to you.  This issue was supposed to be in your hands end of February..   March 1-8 events have been left out of this listing.   They have a great club!  And Toronto Dowser Inta Ridler helps welcome their New Members!   See some of Inta's gorgeous photos at:  INTA.

"Founded in 1888, The Toronto Camera Club was the first camera club in Canada and among the first in North America. We are a member of The Greater Toronto Council of Camera Clubs, associated with The Photographic Society of America and the National Association for Photographic Art and a patron of the Canadian Association of Photographic Arts.

For the next 3 months -- across North America --  you can attend a free evening seminar for the Millionaire Mind.  4 Toronto Dowsers told me they did this in the fall, enjoyed it and greatly benefitted from it.

MARCH 16th is the date for the next "Millionaire Mind Intensive" evening in Toronto.  Check the web site for dates in other cities.   If you are interested in only attending the 3-day weekend, check the web site for dates.  The evening is free, and the weekend is free if you buy the book, $29.95.   From Arlene Anisman:  "I found the weekend to be quite amazing, and very positive!   If you decide to register, you can use the link at the bottom of the email, or use my referral number, #221827.   See you there!"

  "   T. Harv Eker is author of the #1 NY Times bestselling book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, and his programs have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.

            In the book, Harv teaches you how to identify what he calls your "financial blueprint." It's like a thermostat. Your ability to be successful is limited by how high your blueprint is set for. Unfortunately, as I quickly learned, many of us have an extremely low blueprint due to the conditioning we receive as children. It's no one's fault, just the way it is. But--and this is big--we can learn to RESET our blueprint for a higher level of success.

           In just five minutes, T. Harv Eker can identify what is called your money and success "blueprint." Each of us has a personal money and success blueprint ingrained in our subconscious mind and it is this blueprint, more than anything else, that determines your financial destiny.

            Your blueprint is like a thermostat and the only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the exact same way, the only way to change your level of financial success on a permanent basis is to RESET your financial thermostat, otherwise known as your "money blueprint."

In this  seminar you will learn:
a.. How rich people think differently than the poor and middle class people
b.. The hidden cause of almost all financial problems!
c.. Why knowledge and skill do NOT create wealth
d.. How your childhood conditioning is affecting you financially today
e.. How to RESET your financial "thermostat" for automatic success
f.. How to train your "mind" to work FOR you, instead of AGAINST you

You will identify the patterns of thinking that have been holding you back, and what you need to do to turn them around. But there’s one question you need to answer first... Are you ready?

      If you can't attend one of the live evening events presented by T. Harv eker or one of his Master Trainers, you can participate in a live TeleClass from the comfort of your own home.  Check the web site for dates.  http://www.MillionaireMind.com/preview/tele"

For those of you not familiar with Wayne,  he was a student of Ramesh Balsekar.  Just as Ramesh was ordered to teach by his Guru, Nisargatta Maharaj, Wayne was ordered to teach by Ramesh.  Wayne had no plans whatsoever to teach. However, Ramesh got the better of him so he now gives talks.

Wayne wrote his first book in 1990 under the pseudonym, Ram Tzu, entitled "No Way for the Spiritually Advanced". Ram comes from Ramesh and Tzu comes from one of Wayne's favourite writers, Lao tzu. The book is a collection of extraordinarily witty poems on the subject of seeking. His second book, "Acceptance of What Is", came out in 2000 under his own name and is similar to Ramesh's book, Consciousness Speaks. His third book, "Never Mind - A Journey into Non-Duality", came out in 2004.

His talks are a little different to that of Dr. Hawkins' or Ramesh's. The audience is a lot smaller so it is very intimate. There is a lot of silence then a question arises from the audience. It is answered in depth and deeply and then there is more silence which allows for the understanding from the answer to sink in. Therefore, not a lot was covered but the items that were covered, were covered deeply. It was like any more talking about the issue after the answer would spoil the silence. He is similar to Doc and Ramesh in that there is no agenda. The discussion just arises of its own from the audience. His answers are pure Advaita (non-duality) like Ramesh's and he is extraordinarily witty.

For more details on Wayne (and Ramesh, Nisargatta and Ramana Maharshi); please visit www.advaita.org. This is where Paul purchased his books and DVD's on Ramesh.

Paul would be grateful if you would RSVP your interest level so he can plan accordingly. Alternatively, please feel free to send a cheque payable to "Paul A Newton" to confirm your spot for any or all of the days.  If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail.

Preparations for The American Society of Dowsers 46th Annual Convention, in Lydonville, Vermont, are progressing nicely.  The theme for this year's convention is  "Universal Harmony Through Dowsing"  and it takes placeJune 17 through 24, 2006

There are both Pre and Post Convention Workshops and Dowsings Schools:    June 17, 18, 23, 24.  The actual convention itself takes place:    June 19, 20, 21, 22,  23

The Keynote Speaker is Michelle Fitzgerald.   Michelle founded the Senzar Learning Center in Sedona, Arizona.  She is an advanced Dowser, a teacher and a speaker on Earth Energies.  www.sedonaportal.com

Several of our speakers come to us from the ASD.    Recently you met:  Robert Gilbert, Ellie Drew and Sandee Mac.  Why not just go to Vermont for a few lovely days in June and meet many of them at one time?  And get to know them outside of "class".   Speakers who have products to sell set up their tables in the sales area in the gym.  This is a good time to talk with them one on one.  For the last 2 years, the Toronto Dowsers has also had a table in the sales area and we expect to be there this year as well.  All of the Toronto Dowsers who have gone to this convention just love it.  And the value you receive for your money is excellent, too.

Magda Havas has been invited to speak this year.  Joey Korn will speak as well.  This combination of presenters may turn out to have a powerful message as Magda will present the problem of ElectroPollution and Joey can tell us what to do about it.

Structure: there are  4  time slots each day -- 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon.  For each time slot you have your choice of 6 presentations.   Stay tuned to:   www.ASDConvention.com or contact:  (802) 684 3417  - or -  asd@dowsers.org.  Louis Matacia, Treasure Dowser, runs a children's program.  The kids love it.

On a management level, its been a rocky road for the current ASD administration.  In June, they took over from the previous administration, whose actions seemed designed to detroy the organization.  (These events were described in our September 2005 newsletter.  Search for 'June 13')    All the areas of ASD were severely damaged, it was like Hurricane Katrina.  The office staff they hired was adversarial and often inattentive to their duties, Water For Humanity was damaged, the publications were poor, no attention was given to increase membership or work with chapters and a lot of money was missing and unaccounted for when they left.  As well as many essential computer and paper files and records.  When the office staff quit, and the new management took over, much was missing.

Its been a long and difficult climb to restore the organization and things are finally starting to turn around.

What is now clear to many more within the organization, because they had little prior experience with this sort of villainy and the individuals involved, the current administration could not realize how ill intentioned the past leadership actually was, that there was a collective and concentrated attack against their efforts.  Their belief in the goodness of dowsers all over left them open to invasion and they were attacked and damaged several times over the summer, finally realizing there is an enemy and erected a good defense in the fall.   Yes, this use of the vocabulary of war reflects the actual conditions at the time.  What's the saying?  "I believe in God and I still lock my door."

What is truly heartbreaking to all of us is how beloved icons of dowsing have been manipulated and turned and no longer seem to be working for the ideals we used to know and appreciate them for.  They have fallen off their pedestals with a resounding crash.  It is going to be very difficult to write about this, in the future, when it becomes time to do so.

There was almost a riot at the June 2005 ASD Members meeting when several wanted to ask questions of one of the most beloved figures in American dowsing history for his part in this debacle, however the then Vice President used her position inappropriately to stifle and terminate questions to this man from members, speakers and trustees in a vain attempt to keep their activities from coming to light.

The rot and corruption have been pretty much extracted and cleansed.  Mopping up and recovery are proceeding.  We all know what that's like.  I hope they can are able to take sufficient time for  some R&R  before plunging back in to full time mode.  We are all looking forward to a GREAT convention!

There was no room in last month's newsletter for these notes, so here they are now.   Hugh Magill, Henry Evering and Shelley Bourne each gave a mini presentation on the work that they have been doing

HUGH MAGILL spoke about his work with the CRP (Critical Rotation Point) -- the direction in which it is best for us as we align ourselves, physically, with a (compass) direction.   As the description of this work has been covered in our October and November newsletters, since Hugh's explanation to our group, you can read that info in your back issues.  Hugh said remarked that in reviewing the CRP with couples, that couples who are compatible with one another and sleep in the same bed are close to the same point.

Also, if you are aligned properly with the earth, then your kidneys, metabolism and meridians are strong.

HENRY EVERING    www.eidetics.ca/spoke to us about Eidetics.  Eidetics is a natural language using color, the essence of life.   We have lost some of this "naturalness" since Eidetics is right brained and we have become prominently left brained.   Right brained thinking enables one to see more.  It takes a different kind of learning.   Henry started the Eidetic-Academy in 2000 AD.

Henry studied and worked  with Fritz Perls (1893 - 1970), who developed and popularized Gestalt (image) therapy, after his training as a psychoanalyst in Berlin, then Austria, Perls moved to South Africa, establishing a training institute for psychoanalysis there before developing his unique theoretical approach.

Henry Evering developed this Eidetics research company and its approach and used 3-D Thinking and whole systems philosophy.   Like Pythagorus, Henry intensively studied geometrical relationships and found that many communications and social puzzles can be solved by extrapolating the geometric configuration  of a situation and its meaning.   He has built and brings to us his 3-D constructs.  He has brought his globe of the world at many of our December social events.

It is discovered that there are eight patterns to human interests, occupations and personalities.  Henry realized that these patterns coincide with the 8 ponts of a cube.  Each point has a different perspective and color.  This all makes a synergistic whole.  [NOTE: This may correspond to the 8 Paths of Buddha.  Also, the original Star Trek cast had 8 main characters -- each one -- whose personality also corresponded to one of the 8 fold paths.0

Henry's technique involves using this understanding by improving interviewing methods by using the kind of questioning methods used by Socrates, finding answers for improved individual, team and organizational leadership through this right brained approach.   This gained insight, using color, light, shape, dodecahedrons, cubes, pentagons, etc., influences human related affairs and has become 3-D Thinking.   Henry sees the world in 3-D.

Henry has made note of the imagery in our life and made right brain connections.  Such as we have 5 digits x 4 limbs = 20 digits.  This corresponds to the 20 amino acids in DNA.

An image often brings up similar feeling among people.  When you purchase a dress or a necklace, this is part of your projection to the world.  Also, we live in Cutouts.  How is this so?  We cut out our own piece of the world that we see.  That part is us.  We ignore the rest.  We live in our world.

Henry's work helps analysts to gain a better understanding of human motivations, what people see, think and feel, in a visual rather than a verbal way, for better decision making, as in the title of the book he published:   "Creating Whole Organization Synergy".
 

SHELLEY BOURNE spoke about:  How to Use the "Daily Dowsing Vitamin Card" and Why.   The Daily Dowsing Vitamin Card   (See CARD)   was created by Marilyn Gang and introduced to the Toronto Dowsers  and then to the greater Dowsing Community January 2002.   The card was created in response to a need.  Many of our members were taking Raymon Grace's workshop, and having a difficult time creating and following a practice.  The card summarized a few simple but key questions that could be and ought to be dowsed on a daily basis.

When using this card becomes a habit, you become healthier.  Because it improves your energetic immune system which then improves your physical, spiritual, etc., immune systems.   You also become the magnet of attraction of that which you desire.  Because you have better energy.   Your life works better.

Shelley said the card is easy to carry it around.  Sometimes when you are out somewhere, you get out of center and want to bring yourself back to center.   You start to notice things

She creates a sacred space, smudges, clears her 4 directions.  Shelley wants her neighborhood clear, because it makes her neighbors easier to deal with.  Also, weather problems usually don't hit her area.  For the first month, Shelley followed the items on the card.  Then she started to adapt it to her personal situations.   She also developed some affirmations.  Here are  the 10 she gave to us:

"My life is a Magical Adventure.  I continually attract to myself people and circumstances and events that bring to me my highest and greatest good to enhance prosperity and abundance."

"I  always use my dowsing to acknowledge, balance, heal and clear all energies on all levels for the best and highest good for myself and all concerned, here now and forever, permanent, balanced and stable."

"I am always aware of all attempts to adversely manipulate my mind and I am always aware of any non beneficial forces within my energy field and I am always aware of any beneficial frequencies in my energy field."

Shelley and Angi are planning on giving a workshop in May.  Contact Shelley and/or stay tuned.  A complete recording of this talk ought to be available (soon) on a CD.

Anne Landry and Pierre Noreau travelled from Montreal again to teach us more about the Lecher Antenna.  Almost 40 people showed up.

First though --  they will be returning June 3 and 4 to offer a workshop on how to use the Antenna.

We learned that the antenna receives and emits energy.  Before you get sick your vibration will go down.  The antenna can pick this up 2 years before the illness is manifested!    You can use a setting to purify anything such as water, a room, wine...  You don't think.   You just let it go.   The stronger it radiates, the more beneficial it is for a person.   It can determine truth or lies.   It can determine if money is counterfeit or not.

The principle of the antenna was discovered by German physicist, Ernst Lecher  in 1890 and was used to measure the Earth’s magnetic field.

Two pieces of metal perpendicular to one another will emit and receive energy.   In the 1970's, Schneider took the research and developed the Antenna.

The Antenna allows the operator to read and verify the vibration on the body which before was only perceived as "intuition".   Now the antenna measures the energy that emanates from the body's organs, skeletal structure as well as all of the energy fields which surrounds the physical body.   All of the fields, organs, parts of the body and dis-eases have different frequencies which allow the operator to determine the physical health of the client by measuring the subtle energy fields around the body.

The Antenna enables one to better understand the environment and to profit from optimal conditions for well-being and harmony in one's surroundings.   It allows for the measurement and analysis of the energetic qualities of all matter, physical or other.

Rather than asking questions, like we do in classical dowsing, the antenna does not answer questions.  It confirms affirmations.  You declare a statement and the antenna will determine if it is true or false.  It will energize, stablize, find things.

Jo-Anne Eadie, who has a horse farm, plans to use her antenna to check the feed for her animals, i.e., to determine if it is good for them or not, then to determine if a mare is fertile or not, or what is her best time for fertility.  Then to determine if there are noxious energies and if so to remove them.

The antenna is manufactured here in Canada.  Every part is replaceable.  Stainless steel, not brass, is used.  Pierre says that if you use the Antenna for about a half hour every day -- in 3 weeks you ought to be pretty competent.

FROM THE INTERNET:  Walter Kunnen, from Belgium was a seeker.   He found  toxic materials had been used in certain houses for building.  Other houses were too damp and their inhabitants became affected by mildew and dust mites.   He oriented his research to dowsing (radiesthetics) and turned his attention first to France and then to Germany.    Through a series of meetings he became acquainted with the physicist Schneider who took Lecher's work and developed the Lecher antenna. (Lecher had been the first to discover wavelengths in the electromagnetic fields).

Through further research into bio-energetics, Walter Kunnen came into contact with physicians practicing energetic medicine. With Dr. Med. Franz Morrel he worked on the creation of the Mora-machine. He met Dr. Alexander Rossaint and Dr. Reckeweg, father of homotoxicology, and it is during his work with the latter that he realised that the Lecher antenna could give him much more precise readings for the use of medical drugs than any other measuring instrument (Mora, Vega, etc.). The reason for this is quite simple. The Lecher antenna is in principle a Marconi antenna like the ones used in our radios. The instrument can measure the length of a wave as well as separately the intensities of the polarities (North and South).

The Egyptians, the Etruscans, the Celts and the Romans had a hint of such notions.  In the mind of Walter Kunnen, the Lecher antenna opens a world of infinite possibilities, because everything is connected to everything else. He follows in the steps of the father of modern science, Galileo, who wrote: “it is necessary to measure what is measurable, and to make measurable what is not yet measurable.” “The truth can only be found in the precision and knowing is better than believing. Therefore it is necessary to measure in order to know.”

If you are a therapist, interested in additional practical applications of the antenna for your clientele, do check out sites of 2 other therapists: Yvette Marie-Claire Guy  and Energy Medicine Therapy, The ACMOS Method.,  and/or watch us.  About 10 Toronto Dowsers bought the Antenna.  Some are using it, with success, others are playing around with it and waiting for the June workshop.

ELLIE DREW'S VISIT:  FEBRUARY 14-20

Ellie presented to the Toronto Dowsers at our meeting, offered private sessions and two workshops: one on Conscious Manifesting, one on Soul Journeys.  As our events keep getting better and better, once again, this was one of our most exceptional weeks ever.  Ellie delighted, enthralled and entertained us.   And what's more, every single person who heard her -- fell in love with her.  Real easy to do.

Speaking with Ellie prior to the meeting, she told me the previous group kept her talking until mid night.  We arranged that she could speak for as long as our energy held out, and, this was announced before she began.  Anyone could leave when they felt they had to, without feeling guilty, etc.   She spoke for 2 1/2 hours.  We still wanted to hear more, but many were tired.

Here's an amaaazzing Ellie happening:   A week before Ellie was to arrive here, over 40 people were already registered.   When this was mentioned to one of the registrants, she pointed out:  "Ellie is Consciously Manifesting!!!"

     "Things" happen around Ellie.  What kinds of things? "Interesting coincidences".   Connections flow smoothly.    Although Ellie now lives in Tucson (70 miles from the Mexican border), she grew up in Minnesota and misses some of the weather changes in the north.   When Ellie and I were discussing her schedule, she said she would like to come in a winter month because she wanted snow.   Before Ellie was to arrive in Toronto, she gave a workshop  the previous weekend in rural Connecticut.    It is a lot easier for people in rural areas to handle large dumpings of snow than in cities, where it strangles transportation, and further strains already stressed out tempers.   There are also fewer people to be affected in rural areas.  What's more, those in rural areas often depend on the snow for an outdoor sports activity economy.

    So as not to unduly inconvenience us city folk, Ellie got snow in the rural area she visited first.   This was not just any ordinary snowfall.   It was the biggest nor'easter in years.   Central Park, in New York City said it was the biggest snowfall ever in 24 hours since they started keeping records.   When Ellie asks for snow, she gets SNOW!   Do you know what else?   We ALWAYS have snow in February, which makes travelling difficult.   There was no snow on the roads for our meeting evening, so our members could more easily drive to attend Ellie's presentation.

    Next, when I picked Ellie up at the airport I was able to drive right across the top of Toronto, from Yonge and Davisville  --  to the airport at 5 pm on a weekday — and have zero traffic.   Picked her up at the airport where her plane arrived early, she had a smooth flight, breezed thru customs, with what must have been 150 pounds of luggage and no overweight fees and no duties.    Do you know what this does?   The more one consciously practices conscious manifesting, the better "it" works, the better life works, the more we come to accept this as "normal", the more are able to stay centered and we evolve in to trust.

   Almost 60 people attended the Friday night Conscious Manifesting workshop.   One of the most valuable workshops many of us had ever taken.   Fully packed with useful, practical information.  Ellie doesn't dish out regurgitated New Age dogma.   She explains how things work -- because they have worked for her in this way AND she can see and understand this energetically.   That evening was like the most nutritiously packed vitamin  -- a vitamin totally usable and assimilable by the body -- ever created.   We vociferously thanked her for not giving us any New Age bullshit.

At the end of the workshop I told Ellie I didn't quite understand one of the items she spoke about. She replied some people take her workshop several times.  It is easy to understand I'll have to take this again, but this time, bring her back to cover this material in a day or a weekend, not 3 hours.  She loved her time with us and is looking forward to a return visit.

I have received  about 8 emails from people since the course who have told me how these techniques have helped them manifest items they wanted.

2 of the private sessions scheduled didn't work out.  One, because the person was coming in from out of town and a traffic accident held her up, the other because there was a communications mix up.  When stuff like this happens in my life, I become rather irritated.  Ellie was able to realize that it wasn't the right time for the person to have the session, and re-scheduled for a telephone appointment and was able to communicate that to these clients.  I, too, am learning from this.

In the case of the first woman, she did dowse beforehand that yes, she was to have an appointment with Ellie.   I guess she made the same mistake many of us make -- that although she was to have a session with Ellie, she did not go further and dowse about the timing, i.e., is this the right time for her to have/schedule an appointment.

We also appreciated her teachings on QiGong, WHY to practice it and how it works.  Ellie has a tremendous amount of focussed, grounded, centered energy.  She's healthy.  She takes care of herself.  She has good, kind, well defined boundaries.  Her QiGong practice (and teaching) helps her maintain these qualities and abilities.  She says as you do QiGong your energetic integrity starts to surround all your bodies;  your energetic circuitry develops, you can start to hear the subtle messges better.  It was largely because of her disciplined QiGong practice that the Spirits contacted her -- because her circuitry was strong and developed and could be used to communicate fairly easily.  Ellie says you don't want kundalini experiences.  You want to naturally raise up your energies.   She recommended:  "Everyday Tao : living with balance and harmony", by Deng Ming-Dao (9 copies are available in the TPL.  One of our members reported she got the book, it was ok, and a later book by the same author has better content).

In the meeting, 3 times she had us get up and move our energy around.  In the workshops, we did some QiGong.  All could feel it.
When you bounce up and down on your heels, doing this helps strengthen the bones.
In the weekend workshop, she showed us how to maintain equilibrium, so that people are less prone to falling and breaking their hip.

For the last 2 years, in the 2003: November, December;  2004: March, December, and in several 2005 newsletters, Ellie has been written up.  Books are recommended in our newsletters.    In the case of Ellie's books, I have been  urging you -- strongly -- to  read her books.  Ellie's books are one of the few "absolute must reads".   Despite the months of exhortations, interest in her books -- surged in fact -- after she speaks.   Yes.. we all have so much to do, we don't get around to everything.  I was planning on having more books in September.  I *may* be able to get them for April.  If this interests you, let me know before the end of March.

Since we started making CDs of our meeting content, the newsletter meeting notes are much shorter, also giving me more time for other projects and to focus on other content in the newsletters.   It is recommended that you get the CD to hear Ellie's story.  (Some of  her story was included in our December 2004 newsletter.)

Here are just a few  Ellie Gems from her presentation and workshops:

• It is time for healers and awakened ones to begin manifesting consciously for themselves, for others and to heal the earth.

 Radiesthesia, is a word of Latin origin meaning sensitivity to radiation.  It is the science of using man's sensitivity to vibrations and vibrational fields of the human body   to obtain information about other objects of animate or inanimate nature by establishing resonance with their energy fields.  Simple instruments are used as indicators to measure minute vibrational interactions between energy fields.

 Radiesthesia has its roots in Ancient Egypt, were it was practiced as a precise science. The applications of this science were infinite; in medicine for example it enabled the pharaonic surgeons to perform complex brain operations that now require highly sophisticated technology. In geology, every gold mine that modern satellites have discovered in the largely uncharted Sinai desert turned out to have been found and mined in earlier millennia by pharaonic geologists.

Vibrational Fields
Matter, from which everything in the universe is a form of energy (an infinite arrangements of atoms made up of particles that are in a constant state of circular motion, i.e. energy interaction). The frequency at which this energy is vibrating determines the density of it’s expression as matter. Matter vibrating at a relatively slow frequency gives us the solid state of our physical universe.

Super imposed on this solid state of matter are energy fields that vibrate at higher frequencies which are beyond our normal human sensory perception, but within the perceptual spectrum of other life forms (common house pets see , hear and smell stimulants that we cannot perceive).

These energy fields are unperceived only because the technology which renders them perceivable has not been developed, very much like X ray, radio waves were not perceived not so long ago. These fields that surround all living systems are a series of multidimensional energy fields that together with the physical state form the total living body, that should be dealt with as a holistic composition.

Given the nature of the extended body, there are also many interactions that exist at a threshold beyond the sensitivity of our perception that have no physical perceivable manifestation but affect our whole multidimensional body system. When energy systems are in close contact the resulting interaction will modify the vibrational properties of the systems.

What radiesthesia does is allow us to extend our perception, to tune into an unperceived world beyond the normal range giving us a view into the realm of vibrational interaction and opening unlimited avenues for research into understanding the true holistic nature not only of our bodies but of the universe. To the skeptics this might be difficult to accept, but such is the nature of evolving sciences.

The Science Of Radiesthesia
In Radiesthesia our body is the main instrument, because what we are doing is entering into a vibrational relationship with the object we are measuring and evaluating the quality of this interaction on our own body. The human spinal cord is like a wire with an electric current running through it, the electric impulses generate a detectable electro-magnetic energy field around it.

When two energy fields are in resonance (either by proximity, selective focusing or any other method) they will modify each other, consequently affecting the current running through the central nervous system and its extensive nerve network that carry the impulses that control all the body functions.

A sensitive person might feel an excess or a depletion of energy but has no way of measuring and evaluating the true quality of the relationship, very much like driving a car that has no speedometer or indicator.  We can use the car and feel if we are going fast or slow but have no way of proper calculation for exact evaluation.

Another important aspect that happens when two energy fields are in resonance is a type of information exchange on a vibrational level, where a DNA like coded energetic signature of each is imprinted on the energy field of the other.   Unfortunately we have no senses that can perceive this information even though it is in our energy field.   This is very much like the radio and television waves that are all around us at a frequency beyond our perception, when we turn on the proper equipment these energies become translated into visible images and audible sounds within our perceptual range of sensitivity.   Some people have the extra sensory ability to access this information, however distortion usually occurs in the process of translation because what they perceive will be colored by their own experiences.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

What do we do each spring (and each fall)?  CLEANSE.   The change of seasons, in the spring and the fall, are the 2 best times of the year to do a cleanse.  [Cleansing was written up in greater detail in the Sep 2005 issue.] Spring, we focus on the liver and bitter greens and liver herbs.  Vitality Magazine usually has cleanse instructions this time of the year.   You can always do the Master (Lemon Ade) cleanse, you can buy a Rasayana kit from a health food store.  Ensure that you poop daily during your cleanse -- that's the whole idea.   And your pre cleanse and post cleanse (going in to the cleanse and coming out of it) are very important as well.  Make sure you know what you are doing.  If you do it the wrong way, it could be a waste of effort, or, cause you some harm.  Good luck, and ENJOY!  --- Especially after you get past the 3rd or 4th day....

REMINDER!   B12

If you have never had a B12 shot, or have not had one in awhile, consider going for one.

Are you getting enough B12?    Every single vitamin and mineral is essential, B12, IMOSVHO, is more essential than most.   Like all nutrients, we are supposed to get sufficient B12 from the food we eat, HOWEVER, if the digestion is compromised, we do not get sufficient B12.   If we don't have enough B12 released in our body, that would indicate an insufficiency of protein and we would not be able to make bones, hair, enzymes, antibodies, red blood, DNA, yatta yatta.  Sure.  You can eat a whole bunch of --- whatever it is that contains the nutrient, but if  you can't assimilate it, it ain't going to go where it needs to get to.

Therefore, one takes a B12 Shot.
You go to the pharmacy, purchase a vial of B12  (cobalamin; not expensive), bring it to your doctor, Doctor puts your name on the vial, stores it in her fridge and you get a shot from your vial whenever you show up for your B12 shot.   Recommended at least once a month.  Some do this a lot more frequently.

This is what you will notice after your first B12 shot:  Greatly improved sleep,  lowered stress, better metabolism, better bowel movements, less mental distraction, less mental forgetfulness.   Better focus, clarity of mind, memory.  Better energy, better libido.   And its a relatively quick improvement.   Better digestion, hence less gas --- from both ends.  More robust digestion.

Although scientific sources claim that B12 can be stored in the body (in the liver)  for 3 years and only a small amount of B12 is needed and B12 is not needed frequently, anecdotal evidence shows that people feel better and their metabolism and nervous systems function better if frequent B12 shots are administered.

The fastest way to nutritionally short-circuit your body is Vitamin B12 deficiency. That's because B12 keeps the electrical nerve impulses moving through your body.

"Two of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the elderly are folic acid and vitamin B12." These deficiencies lead to motor skill disturbances, confusion, delusion, fatigue, memory loss, numbness, and ringing in the ears. Sounds like dementia, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, and multiple sclerosis all rolled up into one. The important thing to realize is that there are often no differences between the subtle signs of nutrition deficiency and what we interpret as "old age."

Researchers at the University of California devised a study to determine if low levels of vitamin B-12 might be associated with bone loss in older women. Results showed that women with the lowest levels of B-12 had a significantly higher risk of bone loss and fractures compared to women with the highest levels. The researchers also noted that for some women, B-12 supplements may help slow the rate of bone loss.

Here is an UNREALIZED, unfinished  piece to the B12 picture.  What's the scientific name?  COBALAMIN.   Cobalamin is a redcrystalline substance.   It had been known as early as 1926, that something in raw liver was a treatment for anaemia (anaemia being an insufficiency of red blood cells).   Vitamin B-12 gets its name of cyanocobalamin from "cyano" meaning dark blue and "cobalamin" meaning cobalt-containing; it is the only vitamin that contains cobalt and essential mineral elements.   What color is cobalt?  BLUE!  That beautiful blue, close to the color of the optic nerve.

Will you help me finish this explanation?   If we look at Cobalt blue, will this help give us B12?   Is there a connection between B12 sufficiency and good eyesight?   Why is B12 red, but it contains the blue, cobalt molecule?

Would you like   Whiter Teeth?  Here's How.

The appearance of the teeth of many is a lot more sparkly, even, whiter and brighter these days thanks to Orthodontia for adults as well as advances in cosmetic dentistry such as dental bonding, implants, tooth veneers, teeth whitening, etc.

One adult, a father of 3 teenagers, had his braces removed last year.  Last month I noticed how even his facial features had become and how much better balanced his whole upper body is becoming.  Handsomer than ever.

You won't get healthier teeth by the goop you put on them, just as you don't get healthier hair by shampoos, etc.   As we know, but are at times too undisciplined to follow, our teeth, hair, skin, nails, etc., become healthier by what we do internally -- as in nutrition and healthy food -- rather than the external agents.  I was reminded of this January 24th.

Its the night of the Lecher Antenna Information session, with Pierre Noreau, herbalist, and Anne Landry.  We're having an early dinner at Tommy Cook's.  I point to a discolored tooth and ask Pierre if he has any suggestions.

 "Oh, sure", he says.  "Do you know about Cell Salts?"   I say I do.   Simply take Cell Salts #1  (Calcium Fluoride).  Take the whole bottle, but not more than 6 tablets per day -- because that's the maximum your body can absorb."

[NOTE:  In discussing this with a health professional, she added that teenagers who had taken a certain kind of antibiotic, years ago,  for an extended period --  developed soft teeth.  If this is you, Calc Fluor might help.]

Cell Salts.  Hmm.. Interesting.  I had forgotten all about Cell (Tissue)  Salts.  What are they?

Cell salts are vital mineral constituents present in human cells. They were first identified by a very noted German physiological chemist and physicist of the early nineteenth century by the name of Dr W. H. Schuessler noted twelve different ‘tissue salts’ and observed their presence in all healthy human cells.  If an imbalance of these salts were to occur within the cells, illness could be expected to result.  The type of illness would depend on which cell salt was deficient and once the balance had been restored and the cells had once more retained their correct function, the body could be expected to heal itself of any ill health.

In this case, Calcium Fluoride is also found in the enamel of teeth and bone surfaces.  Not only does it help build tooth enamel, but also, stronger bones!    Take Cell Salts the way you would take homeopathics:  15 minutes away from food or brushing.

About a dozen years ago, I told myself I was going to take one bottle of cell salts every month until I did all 12 of them.  I think I forgot after the 2nd bottle...  Last time I bought a bottle it was about $5 or $6.  This time it was $13.99 at Noah's.  Still cheap.  This time I shall take a bottle a month.  It can't hurt, it can only help.   For more information go to web site: www.naturalfacts.com.au/biochem.html.   Merci beaucoup, Pierre!

If you wear glasses all the time PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE  DO spend some time every day out of doors without your eyeglasses or contacts --- so that your NAKED EYEBALLS are exposed to daylight for about 10-15 minutes each day.  This does NOT mean looking in to the sun (altho more are considering sun gazing, which is a whole nuther story).    If you don't do this, you may end up wearing those big black wrap around glasses some day.  There's a very special kind of energy that is taken in through the eyes when out of doors and not covered up.   And the bright beautiful sun has been wonderful lately.  Take advantage of it.

Eat blueberries.  Consider lutein.  Vitamins A,D.  Take care of your liver.  Consider the palming, sunning, etc., exercises from Natural Vision Improvement  classes.   Poor vision?   Consider a decision you may have made at a young age about what you don't want to see.   Poor hearing?  Consider what decision you made at a young age about what you don't want to hear.   Could it have come from a past life?

The March 2006 issue of Toronto's Vitality Magazine, our free monthly holistic magazine, has a very good article with new news on Migraines.  Read the article, and Dr. Karen Shue's biofeedback method on migraines.   You can also read the article online at Vitality's site at:  /www.vitalitymagazine.com/

In Ellie's Soul Journeys workshop, she discussed the importance of using salt for cleansing purposes.  I asked her if she was familiar with the Salt Glow Rub.  Neither she nor the group knew about it and were interested when I told them about it.  This was in the February 2005 newsletter.  Here it is again.  Do it!

SALT GLOW RUB

Have you ever heard of a:  SALT GLOW RUB ??   Careful --- if you do this you will fall in love with the person who does this for you.  And, if you do it for yourself, that, too can be a good thing.  You will feel GOOD ALL OVER and it is so very very healthy for you.

Some are familiar with Dry Skin Brushing.   This is much more.  I wrote this up about 12 years ago and think you'll like this.  If you have a sweetie you really like and likes you --- or want that person to really like you, then you will really really REALLY like this!  Really yes!

Put about 2-3 cups of Epsom Salts in a bowl.
(It's recommended that you oil the bowl first.  I don't.)

Slowly add a little water until it's the texture of wet sand -- granular, not soupy.

Sit or stand in the bathtub (Naked, obviously).
Ensure you are secure.  (If you are over 90 you may want to hold on to the shower bar.)

Take a handful of salt and rub vigorously in circular motions towards the heart.  Always rub towards the heart.  I start on the soles of my feet (boy is that great!), work up the torso to the heart, then from the face to the heart.  I get a friend to do my back, when possible. Remember to do  your bottom.  (There are wonderfully feeling nerve endings in the buttocks.)  Do not skimp on salt.

Be very gentle around the breasts and face.  Do be vigorous in other areas.

After you do the whole body, where you started is probably dry.  So again, in a vigorous and circular motion, rub off the salt from the first application.

Now, shower with lukewarm water, going to cold.  When water is cold, always make sure the heart and head are the last parts to be done so as not to shock the system.

You may want to lightly oil your body afterwards -- what's nice is sesame oil, Vita Fons II Massage Oil.

Takes about 10 minutes to do Salt Glow.  Do this 1x a week, not more than 2x weekly (so as not to harm the protective layer on the skin).  Regular Salt Glows help ease cases of constipation, swelling, skin conditions, poor circulation, fatigue, stiffness, headaches and arthritis.

The action of the salt stimulates circulation, the epsom salts themselves remove impurities and are good for detoxification.

"For years, I have warned people of the danger of personal care products. If you look at the ingredients manufacturers put in their products -- soaps, deodorants, toothpastes and so on -- you will be horrified. These ingredients are highly toxic and cause cancer. They promote leukemia, nervous system disorders and liver problems. Now, some new information has come from Virginia Tech. Researchers that have found that the chemical triclosan, which is found in a lot of antimicrobial soaps and toothpaste products, can react with chlorine in the tap water. Guess what you get?

(This is the horrifying part.) Chloroform. This is a toxic chemical that can give you cancer. In the old movies, you might have seen someone give a person chloroform to knock them unconscious. If you breathe enough chloroform, you will die.

If you are brushing your teeth with toothpaste that has triclosan in it, and you are rinsing with tap water that has chlorine in it, you are getting a little chemical reaction right in your mouth. What a wonderful gift from the toothpaste manufacturers. That's not to mention that some of the toothpastes contain fluoride that isn't really fluoride but fluorosilicic acid, which is a toxic waste product that is molecularly similar to fluoride but has a much different effect on the human body -- a toxic effect. When you wash your hands with antibacterial soap that contains triclosan, you are getting the fumes emitted from this chemical reaction.

FOOD THOUGHTS

Do you frequently make concoctions that are enjoyable to you but might seem unusual to others?   They are probably satisfying nutritional needs.  A friend told me what her African husband would do which I thought weird until I tried it:   He put peanut butter in soup!    Once tried, I loved it.  Now peanut butter -- chunky of course -- in tomato based soups is divine.   You don't cook it.  Put it in the pot with the heat off, or in the bowl, and stir.

Just stopped for a light meal of:   Grapefruit chunks, avocado (or cottage cheese), capers, good tasting nutritional yeast, flax oil, and dulse.  Yum!

You have heard about  EGG CREAMS, yes?  Bagels made it to Toronto from New York City -- even Pizza -- of a sort -- don't understand how come Egg Creams never made it big out of NYC.  You are supposed to use seltzer, but I use Mineral Water.   And Cream and Hershey's Chocolate Syrup.   YUM!   To construct it properly, however, follow  Jim's Guide to Constructing the Perfect Eggcream

Chill your milk (cream) almost to freezing in a...um...freezer.

Pour 3 or 4 fingers of milk/cream into a glass; the best are those Coke glasses that are narrow at the base and flare out at the top.

Fill the glass with seltzer, not club soda (siphon bottles work best), violently at first, then more and more smoothly, until the head risen just to the rim of the glass.

Drizzle in  Hershey's Chocolate Syrup--it'll shplurk through the head down to the bottom of the glass, where it can be stirred into the milk/seltzer with a long narrow-headed spoon leaving the creamy white head undisturbed. Add slightly more syrup than you think you should.

IMPORTANT NOTE:   Never ever add chocolate earlier in the process, because if it fraternizes with the milk before seltzer is added, you get a sticky brown head instead of a fluffy white one. Blasphemy.

Last month, one of our members asked me if I know where in the GTA she could get good -- really good -- organic bananas.   I don't know.   And, it made me stop and think.   About 6 years ago,  I curtailed buying bananas and potatoes.  Even the organic ones.  Because they don't taste the same.  The rich flavor is gone, they are somewhat mealy and chalky.   Do you know where to get good bananas?  If so, please let me know.

Then, in the Feb. 12th Toronto Star:  How Canada built the world a better banana.  Our hardier variety is a boon to third world producers, and to consumers(tinyurl.com/jjnzy)

"""Given all the contributions Canada has made to the world, who would guess one of the biggest would be to help build a better banana.

But it's true. Thanks to Canadian-funded research, banana breeders have been able to create hybrids that can withstand Caribbean windstorms and, most importantly, be grown without using fungicides or pesticides.

"It's been a saviour for small banana farmers who don't have the money to buy fungicides," says Franklin Rosales on the phone from San Jose, Costa Rica, where he works for an international banana network.  """

The article goes on to explain that farmers are growing hybrids which are more disease resistant (bananas are susceptible to fungus) and the hybrids are increasing the yield.  This is good for their economy, I suppose, but I'm not fond of the taste.  I wonder if this is why bananas taste so much blander than they used to.

What do you think?  Does anyone have any ideas on this?  Do you notice a change?  Is this beneficial, or not?

Annatto orange-yellow colour is a vegetable dye made from the seed coat of the tropical Annatto tree (bixa orellana). In Australia it is commonly used in cereals, snack foods, dairy foods including yoghurts, icecreams and cheeses, snack foods and a wide range of other foods.

It is the only natural colour that has so far as been found to cause as many adverse intolerance reactions as artificial colours and to affect more consumers that artificial colours. It has also been associated with rare allergic reactions.

Headaches, irritability and others.   Adverse reactions to annatto can include skin, gastrointestinal, airways and central nervous system reactions.

The Food Intolerance Network has received many complaints about this additive, including headaches in adults and children, headbanging in young children, and irritability, restlessness, inattention and sleep disturbance in children and adults as well as the full range listed above plus arthritis. Reactions to annatto can occur the same day but are more likely to be delayed than reactions to artificial colours, and are therefore more difficult to identify.

The trick with food poisoning is sleep.  Force yourself to stay active, and it'll take you two or three days to get over a mild bout of salmonella.  Remain in a malarial haze of constant naps and you'll be on your feet again in 24 hours.

One very important trick applicable to all forms of nausea (especially the nausea that accompanies food poisoning): DO  NOT DRINK WATER.   It will drain your electrolytes. Instead, sip a sports drink (if you can stomach the thought), or peach, pear, or apricot nectar (Libby's and Goya are brands available nation-wide). Drink a LOT of this stuff, and don't sweat the sugar--you need the caloric energy. Come to think of it, though, one non-sweet electrolyte-rich fluid would be good old chicken broth...

Here's a tip from chowhound, E. Cornell:   "A word about food poisioning. Fortunately I have iron-coated insides and whatever disagrees with me causes temporary discomfort and goes out the other end. However, I have had three cases of food poisoning, the worst time being after an okay meal at Le Colonial. I could not move or bear to be touched for four days. After five days of nothing but a few sips of RW Knudson Ginger Spritzer, I could finally eat.   Since then my accupuncturist has shown me the food poisoning point:

Bend your second toe back to the ball of your foot. Where your toe touches is the point where you should press, rub, apply pressure, whatever."

August 1, 2000, 6 of us:  Peter, Lorenza, Shelley, Muriel and Bette,  gathered in my living room to start the Toronto Dowsers.  Those were the good old days, when I still had a floor, instead of a box covered, book and paper strewn warehouse.

I'm usually part of a team, not the person who initiates and sets things up and so I didn't know what to do for this meeting, since I had never done anything like this before.   My angels must have seen my distress because a word popped in to my awareness:  AGENDA!   Oh!  Agenda!  of course!   I'll create an agenda!  Isn't that what one does for meetings?!   So I created an agenda.  It seemed to work.

We had a bunch of people we could contact to tell them about the meeting.    I figured it was easiest if we each took a dozen and called them.   No, the other 5 didn't want to do that.  They wanted to send a mailing.   Mailing, I asked?   Sounds like a lot of work!    okay, if that's what you want to do ---  Then I asked "Who's going to write the letter?  I don't know how to do that."   You know those silences in a group, when someone has to volunteer and no one wants to -- it must have lasted at least a minute.   A very lonnnggg minute.   I finally said:  "Okay, I'll do.   I'll figure out something."   And so I did.  That 2 page letter was our first communication and the beginning of our newsletter.

It seemed to work well, sending out the mailing, and we even took in some money!   Peter, Lorenza and I chipped in to loan the group money for our start up costs and we were paid back in about 8 months.   Our newsletters grew to be EIGHT PAGES!    We tried keeping it to a maximum of a business size envelope and one 43 cent stamp.   We were able to do that for awhile.   The dues were figured out based on the cost of printing and mailing the newsletter.   Somehow it grew to 20 pages.

When Mary Hardy was here, February 2003, her presentation was so compelling, we had it taped, I transcribed it.   This was our first 40 page newsletter.  And, we had to go to a bigger envelope.  More postage of course.

Today, the newsletter stays at a maximum of 40 pages in a 9x12 envelope, requiring 2 - 51 cent stamps (domestic).   If it was longer we'd have to pay extra postage.   Somehow, we are just about holding our own.

The newsletters are written for each meeting.   We don't have meetings in the summertime.  We did have summertime activities, however peoples' schedules were too unpredictable, so whatever happens in the summer is rather informal.

Some say they are not long enough, others that they are too long.  This is not meant to be read in one sitting.  Titles are put on each section in bold so you can discern if this article is relevant for you.   If you are in a hurry, you can also dowse to see which sections you need to read.  You can do this by "chunking down".  Some people just put their hand on a page, and if they "get a buzz" they know they need to read that article.   Some day I'd like to create an Index for all the issues.

I attend the annual ASD (American Society of Dowsers) Conventions, in Vermont.  For the last several years they take place in June.  Since no one always wants to organize a June meeting, sometimes we have one, sometimes we don't.  We *may* have one this year.  Stay tuned.    You can pretty much count on newsletters from September-May and possibly one for June and/or the summer.

Writing, producing and mailing the newsletter occupies a week of every month for me.  During the month, people send me information, or I find information and make notes of what I think ought to be in the newsletter.   So it is pretty much up to the minute energy.

I always intend to start it 3-4 days after a meeting but something always comes up.  So I spend about 2 days procrastinating.   Play a lot of Free Cell.   Then I sit down and get to it.  When I do that,  I do little else -- don't go anywhere, don't always answer the phone or mail.   Its usually done at about 3 a.m.   Then I print it out, take it to bed and proofread it.   If  I took more time the spelling and writing would be smoother.  The brain is more in gear at some times and not at other times.   Up the next morning around 8, do the corrections, make the final copy -- so that the pages come out to an even number, bring it to the printer, come home, make the labels and membership cards, go back to pick up the copies, bring it to Pat's house, and Pat and I and generally one or 2 other people stuff and seal and yak and stamp for 3-4 hours.

I guess it can be compared to giving birth.  It requires all my focus, its compelling, there is struggle,  I want to do it and it feels so good when its done and out.  I love the feeling when the newsletter is in the mail.  Reminds me of those times I actually completed lesson plans.

QUESTION FOR YOU:   [This free offer available only to members of the Toronto Dowsers and included in the print newsletter version.]

Here is a section from a newly published book, self published by the author.  Please read this and tell me what you think.  When there is enough feedback, the author and title will be shared, with joy.  This is to solicit your totally unbiased opinion.

Do you remember how Charles Hubbard, during his March 2005  "BioDynamics & Dowsing" presentation to us, spoke about "Designer Gardens" where one could plant certain kinds of gardens to help deal with the symptoms of certain physical conditions?   This section also deals with that concept, and goes so much further.

Reading this reminded me of the time I wanted to give a bread making machine to a very good friend who loved making bread.  He said "no thank you."  When I asked why, he replied that in kneading the bread, the enzymes from the skin on his hands would get in to the bread and this would be beneficial.   That statement, and the instructions below --- should we pay attention to the wisdom within them -- takes us way beyond what we know and what we can learn thus far in our culture.  It takes us way beyond our 5 senses and what we think we know about subtle energies.

The Seed As Physician:

    "Every seed you plant contains within itself an enormous amount of information about the Universe.  Nothing made by human hands can compare with this information either in size or accuracy.  Through the help of this data the seed knows the exact time, down to the millisecond, when it is to come alive, grow -- what juices it is to take from the Earth, how to make use of the rays of the celestial bodies -- the Sun, Moon and stars, what it is to grow into, what fruit to bring forth.  These fruits are designed to sustain Man's life.  More powerfully and effectively than any manufactured drugs of the present or future, these fruits are capable of counteracting and withstanding any disease of the human body.  But to this end the seed must know about the human condition.  So that during the maturation process it can satiate its fruit with the right correlation of substances to heal a specific individual of his disease, if indeed he has it or is prone to it.

In order for the seed of a cucumber, tomato or any other plant grown in one's plot to have such information, the following steps are necessary:

    "Before planting, put into your mouth one or more little seeds, hold them in your mouth, under the tongue for at least nine minutes.

    "Then place the seed between the palms of your hands and hold it there for about thirty seconds.  During this time it is important that you be standing barefoot on the spot of earth where you will later be planting it.

    "Open our hands, and carefully raise the seed which you are holding to your mouth.  Then blow on it lightly, warming it with your breath, and the wee little seed will know everything that is within you.

    "Then you need to hold it with your hands open another thirty seconds, presenting the seed to the celestial bodies.  And the seed will determine the moment of its awakening.  The planets will all help it!  And will give the sprouts the light they need to produce especially for you.

    "After that you may plant the seed in the ground.  In no case should you water it right off, so as not to wash away the saliva which is now covering it, along with other information about you that the seed will take in.  It can be watered three days after planting.

    "The planting must be done on days appropriate to each vegetable (from the lunar calendar).  In the absence of watering, a premature planting is not as harmful as an overdue planting.

    "It is not a good idea to pull up all the weeds growing in the vicinity of the sprouts.  At least one of each kind should be left in place.  The weeds can be cut back.

    Because:  the seed is thus able to take in information about the person who plants it, and then during the cultivation of its fruit it will pick up from the Universe and the Earth the optimum blend of energies needed for a given Man.  The weeds should not be disposed of completely, as they have their own appointed function.  Some weeds serve to protect the plant from disease while others give supplemental information.  During the cultivation time it is vital to communicate with the plant -- at least once during its growth period.  And it is desirable to approach it and touch it during a full moon.

     It is maintained that the fruit cultivated from the seed in this manner, and consumed by the individual who cultivated it, is capable not only of curing him of any diseases of the flesh whatsoever but also of significantly retarding the aging process, rescuing him from harmful habits, tremendously increasing his mental abilities and giving him a sense of inner peace.  The fruit will have the most effective influence when consumed no later than three days after harvesting.

    When planting the seedlings, it is important to soften the dirt in the excavated hole with one's fingers and bare toes, and spit into the hole.  Responding to my question "Why the feet?"  it was explained that through perspiration from one's feet come substances (toxins, no doubt) containing information about bodily diseases.  This information is taken in by the seedlings.  They transmit it to the fruit, which will thus be enabled to counteract diseases.   It is recommended that one walk around the plot barefoot from time to time.

   The important thing is to infuse the little patch of Nature surrounding you with information about yourself.  Only then will the healing effect and the life giving support of your body be significantly higher than from the fruit alone.  Out in nature -- and Nature is not really wild, just unfamiliar to you, her are a great many plants that can help cure us all -- and I mean all -- existing diseases.  These plants have been designed for that purpose, but Man has lost, or almost lost, the ability to identify them.

      "You should take it upon yourself to gather some cereal grain, thresh it, grind it into flour and then use the flour to bake bread. This is extremely important. Anyone consuming this bread even once or twice a year will build up a store of energy capable of awakening his inner spiritual powers -- not only calming his soul but also exerting a beneficial influence on his physical condition.  This bread can be shared with relatives and close friends. If shared with sincerity and love, it will have quite a beneficial influence on them as well.  It is very helpful to every individual's health to spend three days, at least once each summer, eating only what is grown in his garden plot, along with bread, sunflower oil and just a pinch of salt.

    Anyone who has established such a relationship with Earth and the plants on his own plot of land, has the opportunity of ridding his body of absolutely every kind of disease.

    Disease per se is the result of Man distancing himself from the natural systems designed to take care of his health and life support.  For such systems, the task of counteracting any disease presents no problem whatsoever, since this is their whole reason for being.  However, the benefits experienced by people who have set up such information exchange contacts with a little patch of the natural world go far beyond dealing with diseases.

Here is the beginning of the explanation found on the above web site:     "What is the Violet Flame? The Violet Flame is a gift from the Heart of our Father-Mother God. The Divine Intent of this gift is to help Humanity transmute into Light the human miscreations we inadvertently manifested through the misuse of our thoughts and feelings. This includes anything that exists in the physical plane that is not reflecting the love, harmony and balance of Heaven on Earth...."

 *   EARTH CHANGES MAP:    Earth Changes prophet Gordon Michael Scallion helped to popularize the "IAMAMERICA" map about a dozen or so years ago, , created by Lori Toye.   The map depicts what America is supposed to look like after the earth changes take place.

    Lori has created new maps and a special section on this has been made available to internet users, thanks to the CoasttoCoastam show.  You can find this at:  www.iamamerica.com/Pages/coasttocoast/ccindex.html .   The map, and the explanations, are quite extensive.  If Earth Changes interests you, you should definitely check this out.

Have you heard of Skype?   Skype is a service you can use to make phone calls -- anywhere in the world -- and you do not -- at least not directly -- need a telephone company.  You do, however, need a computer and an Internet connection.   Your internet connection might be through a telephone company line, or a Satellite or Cable hookup.   One other handy little bonus:  Using Skype is FREE!

What you do is, using your computer:
-  Download Skype.   Go to: /www.skype.com/.   Install it.  Make up a name for yourself
-  Using the Contact List, contact the person you are calling.
-  They answer, you speak.  Its that simple.
Yes, you can call people who are using telephones.  To do that, you have to pay for that, however, it is very cheap (something like 2 cents/minute).

You need:
*  PC running Windows 2000 or XP. (The new video feature requires Windows XP.)
* Internet connection (broadband is best, GPRS is not supported for voice calls, and results may vary on a satellite connection).
* Speakers and microphone — built-in or separate.
* A webcam, if you want to make video calls.
* Recommended: at least 400 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM and 15 MB free disk space.

Keep in mind that Skype is fairly new (2003).  But look at what it is establishing:  no contractual phone number.  Free phone service.   Portability & Mobility.   I hear a lot of people are using it and enjoy it.

Skype was created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, founders of KaZaA — the  popular Internet software for sharing music.  The Skype Group is headquartered in Luxembourg with offices also in London and Tallinn.

In last month's newsletter, Internet Radio was mentioned, what it is --- as well as some sites you can go to.  I asked for contributions to make a listing so we could all share and learn --- and not one person responded.  oh well.  Hello!?   Hello!?  Is Anyone out there?  This is a reminder:  PLEASE send in your suggestions.

 Just so's you have a better idea as to what you can find out from these online broadcasts:  One day,  regular radio was really boring, and tuned in to  Internet Radio station www.NewsForTheSoul.com.  I like it that you can pause, rewind, etc.  Some of the shows were better than others and I stopped to type some selections of the programs for you -- from some of your favorite pundits and themes that y'all seem to be interested in such as healing, intent, how the brain works, what's on the other side, etc.

The following selections are included in this newsletter because it is supposed that you are interested in these areas.  Would you please offer feedback --- via email or phone --- and let me know if I'm on the right track?  or not?  and if not, then what or who?

Well I know for example that Ayuhuasca is known to cure Parkinson's Disease, at least ameliorate it substantially.  Emphysema is another one.  We have heard of people who have chronic Emphysema and have been cured on Ayuhuasca.   One thing that it works on is parasites.  It cures parasites in the gut stone dead.  So a lot of diseases that are parasitically based have been cured by this.

 (29:00)  Stuart mentioned Parkinson's.  That's an interesting one.  Around the turn of the century, a remedy was given for Parkinson's, with great success.  And it was stopped.  It was determined that this particular substance, which is actually one of the alkalyoid components of the vine in Ayuhuasca, since it was not a patentable pharmeceutical, the pharmeceutical industry was seeking patentable remedies.  It sort of fell out of favor as a parkinson's medicine.  There are a number of reports of Parkinson's patients having good results using Ayuhuasca.

As it took several hours to create these articles, the remainder of the articles have been SNIPPED  and are available to members in our printed version.

From JJ Hurtak, March 2004:  "Matter is gravitationally trapped light."

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

"Science no longer identifies reality with the physical universe,
for mind and consciousness belong to the unseen world."
Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944),  was one of the most prominent and important astrophysicists of his time.

In the February 2006 newsletter, there was an article about why not to eat pork products.   Interesting, in that Pork is prohibited for religious Jews and Muslims, however, it is a staple in Germanic and Oriental cultures.  The main point in this article is that the domestic pork consumed today has been gengineered with human DNA.   Although hesitant to include that article, since it appeared, I have received several confirmations from those who have also heard this news.

Dr. Robert J. Gilbert will be returning for his 3rd speaking engagement to the Toronto Dowsers where he will speak to us about:  Modern Egyptian Solutions to Human, Environmental, and EMF Energy Problems.

Dr. Gilbert is the first non-Egyptian ever authorized to teach BioGeometry, a remarkable energy science created by Dr. Ibrahim Karim of Cairo Egypt.  BioGeometry has been shown in a wide range of medical and scientific experiments in Europe and the Middle East  to have powerful benefits for humans, animals, plants, and the environment.  It includes aspects which could be considered an “Egyptian Feng Shui” with previously unrevealed methods to energy balance any location; however unlike Feng Shui it includes radiesthesia methods to directly test the specific energy qualities of any site.

Essentially, BioGeometry is the language of shape, sound, color, number, angle and movement which creates our energetic environment on Earth.   It is the language Nature itself speaks, the language of energy quality every native tradition on Earth has spiritually studied for millenia.  BioGeometry clarifies the hidden principles behind the subtle energy knowledge and practices of many of the world’s greatest traditions, including the Ancient Egyptian Temple Science.

BioGeometry is also a set of practical methods and techniques which have powerful empirical effects.  BioGeometry methods to energy balance any living energy system or location is based on three specific energy qualities known as the BioGeometry 3 (BG3).  The BG3 are the vibrational essence of balanced energy, and can be empirically detected and/or manifested through Egyptian vibrational radiesthesia methods.

The BG3 are found already in the Sacred Power Spots of every native tradition, and in human beings these energies are found in every chakra, every acupuncture point, many cells, and even genetic structures.  They are also be manifested by a wide range of phenomena which at first seem unconnected to the Western mind: through particular shapes (including hundreds of shapes called BioSignatures), number sequences, rhythms, movements, sounds, positions of the body or hands, etc.  Also of great interest is the Egyptian discovery that the act of sincere blessing or prayer also creates a very strong measurable BG3 emanation into a person’s energy field; in reality, the BG3 are the specific energetic quality of blessing and prayer.  All of these BG3-generating methods are deeply linked through Resonance.

In this highly visual presentation Dr. Gilbert will discuss all of these aspects of BioGeometry, and show how it is being used today at locations around the world.  Dr. Gilbert is presenting to our group in advance of only the second BioGeometry training ever in Canada, sponsored by the Toronto Dowsers.  This talk and training are in preparation for the very rare April appearance and advanced teaching in Toronto of the founder of BioGeometry, Dr. Ibrahim Karim, which will be followed by a major BioGeometry project in Canada.
