Key Discussion Points:

 

Fear is a cornerstone in society, i.e. the marketing of the Iraq War by the Administration.

 

The Gore movie is an example of how, in relation to the sustainability movement, fear can be a motivator ~ it can shake people out of numbness and provide the opportunity to do something. It builds awareness.  How does this relate to the law of attraction?

 

Attraction is neutral – it can be good or bad. 

 

The only way to turn fear around is face-to-face.

 

The greatest form of pollution is our thoughts. We attract what we focus on.

 

Stay in our hearts – deliberate attention.

 

The key to the law of attraction is gratitude.

 

We have a great amount of power – what can we do to work with the passion we have?

 

Take care of yourself, so you have a lot to give.

 

Abraham Hicks and Esther tapes.  They are coming to

Asheville the weekend of October 20.  It costs $150/day. A group also meets locally on Wednesday evenings and has a lending library of tapes.

 

It takes supporting each other – consensual reality.

 

Mastermind Groups hold intention as a methodology.

 

Politics are a right and a gift.

 

Be in the moment.  When we are aware of our “is”ness, we can decide our expression.

 

 

Creative tension is an opportunity to act – social activism or not.

 

There are ways to do things without looking like it.  Tonglen method digests someone else’s fear and releases it.

 

Look at the Hawaiian practice of HO ‘ Oponopono.

 

Everything that touches us is for a reason and we can take responsibility for what touches us, what is a part of our lives, beyond what is commonly considered our responsibility.

 

These are the days of miracles and wonders.  Everything and anything is possible. Notice the miracles and the beauty.
