This touching and patriotic story has been circulating on the internet. It's message is powerful so I thought I would include it in this blog. The author is unknown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last week I was in Atlanta , Georgia attending a conference. While I
was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me
beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed
one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.
Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they
began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly
to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.
When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and
cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm no t the only red-blooded
American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their
families.
Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young
unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so
we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.
Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our
service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran
up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.'
The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy
fo r her.
The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself,
s aid he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then
suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the
biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.
The mother of the little girl, who said her da ughter's name was
Courtney , told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had
been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her
daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.
When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all
of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the
other service m en pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They
started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.
After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to
Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he
told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he
had just met and gave her a kiss on t he cheek. He finished by saying
'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and
he is coming home very soon.'
The mom at this point wa s crying almost uncon trollably and as the young
soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was
standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event.
As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people
resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around,
there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in
one last act of se lflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney
with a tear rolling down his ch eek.
We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and
thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's
good to be an American.

For those who would like a quality introduction to EFT, here is an article that will soon appear in a new book, “101 Great Ways to Improve Your Health” by David Riklan and Dr. Joseph Cilea of Self-Growth.com. My gratitude to CJ Puotinen for helping me write it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Discovery Takes Chinese Medicine to a New Level
Thousands of years ago, physicians in China mapped the body’s electrical system. They charted fourteen energy paths, or meridians, and documented how stimulating specific points along those paths released energy blocks, restored the normal flow of Chi, or healing energy, and improved health.
Acupuncture, in which very thin needles are inserted at precise locations, is one way to achieve this result. Acupressure, in which massage or pressure stimulates the same points, is another.
But until recently, no one realized that tapping on key acupuncture points while focusing on a specific problem could eliminate or significantly reduce physical, mental, or emotional symptoms.
That’s why Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is such an exciting discovery.
EFT’s underlying premise is that the true cause of every negative thought and most physical symptoms is an energy block along one or more of the body’s meridians. The combination of tapping and mental focus releases both the energy block and the problem it causes. No matter what they worry about, people of all ages, including small children, can change their minds from stressed to relaxed and improve their health and happiness, usually in less time than it takes to read this chapter.
Versatile and Widely Accepted
At first I didn’t realize how versatile EFT would become or how dramatically it transforms physical as well as emotional symptoms. Then the reports began to arrive. Whenever someone asked whether EFT works on a particular condition, such as allergies, high blood pressure, colds and flu, indigestion, arthritis, asthma, insomnia, sprains, or anything else, my answer was always the same: try it, and let me know what happens.
Soon, thousands of people with no special training were sharing their results. They had tapped and lost weight, stopped smoking, recovered in minutes from muscle sprains, chased migraine headaches away, stopped pain, and recovered from all types of illness or injury.
Many medical doctors and licensed health care practitioners have adopted EFT and use it routinely. Their patients often recover without the drugs or surgery they were scheduled to receive, or they heal faster, or chronic conditions that persisted for years suddenly improve or disappear.
Physical therapists working with athletes report that sports performance improves whenever EFT is part of the treatment. Many amateur and professional athletes use EFT to increase their stamina and coordination and to prevent injury. In fact, quite a few have used EFT to significantly improve their performance in everything from golf, baseball, bowling, soccer, or gymnastics to running a marathon.
Medicine’s Major Miss
What excites me most about EFT is its application to physical health and wellness. I’m convinced more than ever that modern medicine has walked right by a major contributor to chronic and acute diseases. Our unresolved angers, fears, and traumas show up in our physical bodies and manifest as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and hundreds of other illnesses.
Just about everyone knows this intuitively. Whenever Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD, shows patients how to do EFT, he explains that past traumas can be stored in muscles and organs in the body and that releasing past events and all the emotions they generate may alleviate physical symptoms. Dr. Robins reports that most patients grasp this concept at once, and as soon as they tap away their anger, frustration, or unhappy memories, their symptoms improve.
Psychologists have always known that there are powerful connections between mind and body, but conventional talk therapy seldom cures anything, and neither do psychoactive drugs.
But balancing the body’s energy can help cure everything, and it’s as simple as tapping on your head and torso while focusing on the problem. As Dr. Robins explains, this simple procedure releases or neutralizes the illness’s underlying cause, and as soon as that happens, the illness itself disappears.
Ever since I discovered how simple and effective EFT can be, I’ve been a man on a mission. So far, 350,000 people have downloaded my free EFT manual (it gives all the basics), my free online newsletter goes to several hundred thousand subscribers, and more than thirty books have been written about EFT. To help spread the word, those who purchase my inexpensive instructional DVDs have my written permission to make one hundred copies of each disc to share with others. Thousands of EFT practitioners around the world teach classes and work with clients. These practitioners include nurses, doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, physical therapists, nutritionists, clinical psychologists, licensed social workers, and counselors of every description.
No technique or procedure works for everyone, but by all accounts, approximately 80 percent of those who try EFT for a specific problem experience significant results. That’s a stunning statistic.
In Most Cases, Try EFT First
EFT has come a long way in ten years, but it’s not even a blip on conventional medicine’s radar. When it is noticed, it’s often relegated to the “support therapy” category, something to be used later, after conventional treatments. I hope that will soon change. Unless there is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention, EFT should be the first treatment that doctors offer. This, in my observation, will dramatically reduce the need for drugs, surgery, or radiation. Even in emergencies, such as accidents or injuries, EFT can be extremely helpful, for it helps people think clearly while reducing pain and discomfort. In all situations, it speeds recovery and healing.
To satisfy my curiosity about EFT’s effectiveness in the treatment of serious diseases, over the last two years, I traveled to different cities giving three-day seminars, in which I worked onstage with actual patients. As a result, I know more than ever that EFT is a truly universal healing tool. The same basic approach that treats diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple chemical sensitivities works as well for eyesight, muscular dystrophy, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergies, pulled hamstring muscles, high blood pressure, and heart disease. And when it comes to fears, phobias, and anxiety, EFT is in a class by itself.
EFT is so new that it’s still evolving. I encourage practitioners and newbies alike to experiment—to try it on everything. It’s so versatile that you can use it on yourself, others, and animals. Some have even used it on plants, cars, and computers. It makes sense that if your energy is balanced, everything inside you and everything around you benefits.
I hope that everyone who reads this will be curious enough to try EFT. It’s easy to learn, easy to do, and can literally save your life.
About the Author
EFT was introduced in 1995 by Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer in lifelong pursuit of personal well-being. He recognized at a young age that the quality of his thoughts were mirrored in the quality of his life and has been intensely interested in personal improvement ever since. He has been self-taught in this field, seeking only those procedures that, in his opinion, produced results. EFT is his latest finding, but he also has high regard for NLP, in which he is a certified master practitioner. He is an ordained minister through the Universal Church of God in southern California, which is nondenominational and embraces all religions. He is a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles and approaches his work with a decidedly spiritual perspective. However, there is no specific spiritual teaching connected to EFT or its practitioners. You can learn more at the EFT Web site: http://www.emofree.com .

Note: Outrageous EFT Ideas are designed to initiate thinking outside the box. They are launching pads for innovative thinkers and, properly used, will propel our imaginations into new territory. Please comment only on what exciting new vistas they inspire and toss any thoughts like "this won't work" in the trash.
EFT should become a Cosmic Law
So check it out. EFT's results as a self-calming technique are legendary and every seasoned EFT'er can fill encyclopedias with pristine examples of this feature. With impressive consistency, EFT converts upsets into tranquility and usually does so in moments.
But despite the striking benefits of this self-calming feature, it is usually confined to EFT sessions for "bringing a client down" after s/he tunes in to an upsetting event.
That's a big oversight because It has much broader uses than that.
EFT should be used for EVERY upset whether or not the upset occurs during an EFT session. I mean every anger ... every rejection ... every insult ... every resentment ... every trauma ... every fear ...whenever or wherever they appear. They all need to be resolved with EFT on the spot. This should become a Cosmic Law.
Here are some of the benefits for doing so.
- It would almost instantly defuse the vast majority of our upsets.
- Domestic violence would fade.
- Our crime rate would decline.
- So would our automobile accident rate.
- Our prisons would have fewer inmates.
- Our currently overburdened courtoooms would be looking for something to do.
- Our health expenses would drop substantially
Does anyone doubt this?
Making EFT a Cosmic Law may take a while because there are still some people that don't know about it. However, we can always start with ourselves.
Love to all, Gary

An Outrageous Idea - Mandatory EFT for all war veterans
Send this to your elected representatives, your local Veterans Administration and anyone else who wants to help lift the burden of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from our soldiers. The cost of this affliction, in both dollars and disrupted lives, is immense and is clearly displayed in our headlines.
Conventional therapies don't even dent the problem. If they did it would be fixed by now. Instead, they tend to cover it up with drugs or employ endless "go-nowhere" sessions that are often re-traumatizing. These things may help but, by and large, they are not doing the job and veterans are left to endure their debilitating symptoms. By contrast, EFT often works beautifully where these efforts have failed and has brought impressive relief in a high percentage of cases. So, let's make EFT mandatory for all war veterans. Here are some of its advantages:
- It's easy to use.
- It's rapid and relatively gentle.
- It's inexpensive.
- Nightmares and intrusive memories usually fade.
- Physical symptoms subside.
- No drugs or endless therapy sessions involved.
- Properly done, it can be applied to large groups of vets at one time.
EFT should be made mandatory for all war veterans and has certainly "earned its stripes" in this regard. Here's why...
- We profusely demonstrated EFT's profound uses in our hour long video "6 Days at the VA." This was done at the Los Angeles Veterans Administration in 1994 and yet EFT still has not been adopted by the VA.
- EFT has been scientifically verified and has appeared in several peer reviewed journals. See http://www.emofree.com/res.htm.
- We have a new video out showing EFT with vets that displays unmistakable benefits. See http://www.emofree.com/splash/video_vets.asp
- Tapping therapies such as EFT have been recommended for many years by The National Veterans Foundation.
Governments like to throw endless amounts of money at problems such as PTSD in hopes that "new research will find an answer." This is unnecessary. The "new research" is already here and is right under the government's nose.
It is up to us to help them see it. So send this message to your elected officials. Send it to your local VA. Do it repeatedly. Send them to www.emofree.com for our free EFT Manual and tell them of your own EFT experiences. They are busy and unaware of EFT's potential ... BUT ... if you persist and persuade, they will come around.
Think about it. If all 400,000 of us on this EFT Insights Newsletter List did this, we could move this mountain and get EFT in the hands of our deserving vets. Are you going to help or will you be watching from the sidelines? Our vets are depending on you. Let's take care of this NOW so our vets don't needlessly spend decades with their pains, traumas, nightmares and destroyed lives.
Love, Gary

EFT contains a clear spiritual element that enhances the effectiveness of our prayers. There are, for example, countless examples on the EFT website of people performing EFT in behalf of others surrogately. This is a form of prayer (positive intention) that doesn't require the presence of the other person. As an example, here is an excerpt from an article on our website entitled "Surrogate tapping for a 2 year old with Cancer" by Julia Allen.
"They "gave her" 1 year to live, as the type of cancer was very aggressive ... I have been tapping (at first with the help of a counselor, and later on my own -- for all kinds of things). I did not tell her parents that I intended to do this, but I did do some tapping for the little girl ... 1 week later our friend called saying they re-assessed her condition and determined she might live 3 years ... Well, about 1 week later she had another check-up and as her dad put it, "they have cleared her", she is free of all cancer, not remission, and is expected to live just as long as anyone else. Her doctors say it's incredible. A mystery. In fact the family is coming to visit us for 4th of July (which is a huge deal, as they haven't done anything in years!)"
Please note that while not all EFT applications provide such spectacular results, we get enough such examples to motivate us to try EFT on just about everything, regardless of our ingrained beliefs about what is, or is not, possible.
Remember this...Those who say something can't be cured are those who can't cure it.
Love to all, Gary

Wanna know "The Secret to all of life's mysteries?" It does not come from the outside world because that is but an echo of your inner thoughts. Everything comes from within. It's all in this simple story.
Are you listening to your echo?
A son and his father were walking in the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, he hears a voice repeating his scream from somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."
And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains: "People call this echo, but it is also an example of how life will give back everything you say or do.”
Our life is simply a reflection of our thoughts and actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your own competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; life will give you back everything you have given to it."

I gave some thought recently to EFT's future place in this world and how it can replace personal turmoil with personal peace. Properly applied, EFT's gifts provide enormous potential for worldwide improvement. In these thoughts, my mental meanderings took me to Martin Luther King, Jr's famous speech known as "I have a dream..." Then the similar words, "I see the day...." kept echoing in my head. This is the result.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I see the day when war and greed give way to peace and sharing. This will be the day when the swirling world finally rests and we can rejoice together. This all begins, of course, with personal peace ... forgiveness ... and love. World healing cannot happen without them. We cannot legislate or force peace anywhere. Militaries and threats thwart peace in the long run. They do not create it.
I see the day when we lay down our resentments and giggle about their senselessness ... when we remove the fences that separate us from our neighbors and rejoice in one another's presence.
I see the day when we greet each other with smiles rather than suspicion ... when our postman gets the same respect as a professional athlete and when newspapers have inspirational headlines instead of the doom that soaks up all that ink.
I see the day when our schools have eager students rather than hostile attendees ... when learning something new is an exciting "want to" rather than a go-nowhere "have to."
I see the day when our Presidential elections are no longer between candidates that echo "the same old stuff." Instead, I see candidates that will blow us away with their inspirational dreams for building a symphony of cooperation ... where love and respect become more important than the size of our homes.
I see the day when those exquisite feelings we get from helping someone else take priority over our quest for material possessions. Those feelings do far more for our comfort, self-image and personal health than any tangible possession imaginable.
Finally, I see the day when everyone else sees the day.
Love, Gary

Here's an extraordinary photo & message by Terry Burns of Middleburg, Pennsylvania, about love and dedication. It shows a cat that helps a blind and deaf dog. Very moving.
Cashew, my 14 year old yellow Lab, is blind and deaf. Her best friend is Libby, 7, her seeing eye cat. Libby steers Cashew away from obstacles and leads her to her food. Every night she sleeps next to her. The only time they're apart is when we take Cashew out for a walk. Without this cat, we know Cashew would be lost and very, very lonely indeed. It's amazing but true: This is one animal who knows what needs to be done and does it day in and day out for her friend.

Sometimes we are so caught up in the everyday pursuits of life that we walk right by the loveliness that surrounds us. All too often we take people for granted and that is a mistake. This parable points to a lesson that we may have forgotten.
A Most Important Lesson
During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely, this was some kind of joke.
I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

One of EFT's main goals is to help people achieve personal peace. As we reduce the angers, fears and traumas of the past, our physical ailments fade and we spend more time in a loving space. This brings about wondrous shifts that can transform everything around us. Below is a delightful parable that provides glowing evidence of these possibilities.
A Gift of Gentleness
Once upon a time, a church had fallen upon hard times. Only five members were left: the pastor and four others, all over 60 years old.
In the mountains near the church there lived a retired Bishop. It occurred to the pastor to ask the Bishop if he could offer any advice that might save the church. The pastor and the Bishop spoke at length, but when asked for advice, the Bishop simply responded by saying, "I have no advice to give. The only thing I can tell you is that the Messiah is one of you."
The pastor, returning to the church, told the church members what the Bishop had said. In the months that followed, the old church members pondered the words of the Bishop. "The Messiah is one of us?" they each asked themselves.
As they thought about this possibility, they all began to treat each other with extraordinary respect and gentleness on the off chance that one among them might be the Messiah. And on the off, off chance that each member himself might be the Messiah, they also began to treat themselves with extraordinary care.
As time went by, people visiting the church noticed the aura of respect and gentle kindness that surrounded the five old members of the small church. Hardly knowing why, more people began to come back to the church. They began to bring their friends, and their friends brought more friends. Within a few years, the small church had once again become a thriving church, thanks to the Bishop's gift.

Daddys sometimes get unique opportunities to express love for their children. Today is one of those times.
Over this Thanksgiving Holiday, please join me in giving hugs and gratitude to my daughter, Tina, who is the unsung hero propelling EFT's growth. She is behind the scenes taking care of our orders, inventory and the endless list of details that go with our sizeable website and newsletter.
If you experience EFT as running smoothly, please know it is because Tina takes care of all the underlying challenges seamlessly.
If you sense a smile and presence of love in our communications with you, it is because of Tina's persistent smile and the loving way she smoothes out the wrinkles of our day to day mission.
If you see EFT as moving forward and being a leader in the shifting health paradigm, it is because the weighty busywork ballast that slows down growth is judiciously being handled by Tina.
If you have enjoyed our new brochures, letterheads, business cards, press kits and the like, please know that Tina did them all.
Within EFT, you may think you are communicating with me but in reality we are both attending to your needs.
Tina is my first born and, although she is a grown woman now, I still see her as that spirited, curious, little red-headed toddler. Maybe that's why, in private, I still call her Teenie. We have many things to be thankful for during these Holidays and I, for sure, put Teenie at the top.
Won't you join me? Her email address is tina@emofree.com if you care to send her your gratitude.
Love, Gary (Dad)
PS: Teenie doesn't know I am sending this. She will read it about the time you do.

With tongue in cheek, I hereby establish EMU (EFT Medical University). It has no curriculum and costs nothing to attend. Nonetheless, a diligent group of EMU graduates can bring more healing to the planet than all the world's drugs, surgeries and radiations combined.
To graduate, you need only be persuasive enough to convince one person (including yourself) to consistently exercise, eat sensibly and eliminate the angers, fears and traumas that drain our immune systems. Exercise is freely available in multitudes of forms, Sensible diets boil down to simple choices and emotional health can be achieved through proper use of
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).
How obvious!
To some, however, this is easier said than done. That's why doctors' offices are filled with couch potatoes who guzzle beer and gorge on chocolate cake AND are hoping for a magic pill to wash away their unhealthy lifestyles. Docs know this and it's the reason why so many of them are shaking their heads in wonderment these days. They are placed on a pedestal by drug companies and the medical establishment and are expected to produce unrealistic miracles where simple common sense will often do the job.
So, from a health point of view, the world may not need yet another medical procedure. Instead, it needs persuasive salespeople that can drum home these simple ideas. Properly followed, I predict that this idea will drop our medical bills 80%.
So, be a student of EMU and convince just one person (including yourself) to consistently practice these lifestyle shifts. This will earn you an MD (Major Do-gooder) and will equip you to be among the premiere healers on the planet.
Smiles,
Gary Craig, MD

There's something scary about drugs that concerns a growing number of physicians and should wobble the knees of every patient on the planet. It's obvious to any mathematician but somehow has escaped the general scrutiny of the health industry.
It has to do with combining meds.
Ever since I can remember I have been fed the perception that drugs are governmentally evaluated and thus are safe if taken under the guidance of competent physicians. However, even if we accept the presumed safety for the ingestion of one drug, we must ask ourselves how might that safety change if we take multiple drugs?
For safety assurances, proper testing should be done for every drug combination we are advised to take. If we take Prozac and Tylenol, for example, we should be presented with all the possible benefits and consequences before allowing these two foreign substances to mix with the chemicals our bodies already create. Same thing goes for combining Paxil with Viagra or Interferon with Lipitor.
The list of possible problems here is monstrously long because there are a b'zillion drugs and mega b'zillions of combinations. Nonetheless, I've never seen or heard of any studies that test any of these combinations ... have you?
Thus, if you take two drugs, the odds of their combination having been adequately tested for safety are skimpy at best. But if you take 3 or more drugs the danger possibilities multiply even faster.
Here's how the mathematics work: If you take 3 drugs then adequate safety testing of the various combinations require 7 separate tests. If you take 4 drugs the combinations require 25 separate tests. If you take 5 drugs it amounts to 121 tests. If you take 10 drugs the number of required safety tests total 362,881.
The conclusion here should be obvious. Namely, there is questionable safety testing if you take 2 drugs and nominal, if any, safety testing if you take 3. Beyond that you are clearly into the land of, "I have no idea what these combinations of drugs will do."
To me, this tosses our dedicated docs into a tenuous position. They have patients with problems who aren't willing to exercise, eat right, do EFT for emotional issues (http://www.emofree.com) or much of anything else to help their own health. Instead, the patients hope the physicians will produce a magic pill (or pills) to make their problems go away.
I have met many patients who are on several drugs and take some drugs to counteract the effects of other drugs. As a non-physician I look at this with a shudder. These folks are being fed chemical cocktails with little or no safety testing behind the combinations. Maybe I need some help with my perceptions here but, to me, they are playing drug roulette.
I don't know if lawyers have picked up on the simple, but compelling, math here. But I do know that I wouldn't want to be a doctor in court facing these clear facts.
In the 15+ years I have been involved in the health field, I have had the good fortune to count many physicians as my personal friends. With few exceptions, they agree that it is our lifestyles, diets and emotional stresses that cause most of our health problems ... and ... the vast majority of these problems would vanish if people would live common sense lives. Yet patients repeatedly abuse their bodies and ask for more and more "miracle drugs" as the convenient solution. I don't envy the docs at all as I often hear them complain that this is a highway to NobodyWinsVille.
Maybe what we really need are good salespeople to persuade folks to take care of themselves. I suspect that, if truly persuasive, they would do more good than the ocean of drugs at our disposal.

There is much magic in the parable below. Without specifically saying so, it emphasizes the true rewards for having attained Personal Peace.
"There was once a wise woman traveling in the mountains who found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and she opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked if she might give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But only a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman who had given it to him.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I'm giving it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. I want you to give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

Now that's a grandiose title, isn't it?
Fortunately, there IS a solution to the world's problems. Poverty, war, disease, crime and the like can all disappear into nothingness. The solution does not involve prisons, bombs, laws and politics for those methods have, for centuries, given only the illusions of temporary fixes.
Interestingly, this true solution is no secret. It has occurred to almost everyone. It is intuitive and we have a "knowing" about it. Yet few of us take the appropriate action because hardly any of us believe in the true power of our own abilities. That includes me ... but I'm getting there.
The solution that we already "know" about involves a mindset and tends to start, something like this ... "If only everyone had perfect personal peace within ... if only everyone was aligned with their spiritual perfection ... if only there were no insecurities nor needs to "be better than" ... if only love replaced greed ... THEN we would find joy in each other, cooperation would replace judgement and all the world's problems would start to fade."
But then we read of the ongoing tragedies in the newspaper and see that sort of strife and tension mirrored in our families and workplaces. We see this negative "reality" all around us and give up on our fantasies of peace and love. "How impossible", we think, "Just look at how thoroughly ingrained this mess is throughout the world. How could we EVER unravel this intricate ball of twine?"
So, even though we know it is wrong, we continue fruitlessly with our prisons, bombs, laws and politics.
Yet the possibilities for achieving that delicious spiritual awareness are very real. We need only start with that well accepted phrase passed down through the ages that says ... "You are what you think." From there we can step up to the basic truth that rings throughout my series on The Palace of Possibilities that says ...
"Your consistent thoughts become your reality." (for those familiar with it, this is a simplified synopsis of the Law of Attraction).
To launch us in the proper direction, we need only combine this simple truth with the startling findings from Quantum Physics that (1) we are immersed in a sea of infinite possibilities (God?) and (2) our thoughts are the means by which we travel within that sea. This literally means that we can be, do or have ANYTHING we want.
Depending on your current beliefs, that statement could be tough to swallow. Maybe you believe it is possible to change your thinking and thus make more money, achieve an hourglass figure and cure a disease. But do you believe that you can live a life of non-stop joy ... or ... transport yourself over thousands of miles without the use of planes, trains or automobiles?
See, there are always limits to our thinking. What is fascinating, though, is that our "limits" keep expanding as we approach them. For example, earning $100,000 per year may seem impossible for someone earning $30,000. They can't see that far ahead. However, they can see $40,000 and, once achieved, they can then see $50,000 ... and then $80,000 ... and then $150,000 ... and beyond. After awhile, even Donald Trump seems small. Actually, compared to Bill Gates, he is small. But you get the idea. Our "limits" are more dependent on our thinking than on outside "barriers."
Expand this idea so that everyone shares in the "sea of infinite possibilities" and we will make obsolete the need for prisons, bombs, laws and politics to solve world problems. For if everyone is loaded up with all the possibilities they can handle, then what need is there for poverty, war, disease and the like?
So how do we achieve these mental states and thus create a world of joyous people? Do we just practice positive thinking? Well, that's a start. However, positive thinking like, "I am always joyous and see nothing but the beauty in this world" is a real challenge to do if we have competing thoughts like, "But I hate that @#$%^ who abused me as a child."
These competing thoughts are rampant in this world and they often become our dominant thoughts that, in turn "become our reality." They permeate our financial, social and health circumstances and stop us at every turn. They are the main deterrent to realizing our possibilities.
Fortunately, EFT can collapse all of them so that each becomes "just another thought." With the competition out of the way we can now soar through The Palace of Possibilities with ease.
Will this solve the world's problems this week? Probably not. But this effort starts with each of us individually. And as the benefits become apparent to others they will follow. And as the wave continues to other parts of the world, our seemingly insurmountable problems will eventually fade.
Nice idea, don't you think? But does it seem too grandiose? Too idealistic? Well, use it for yourself. Expand your possibilities. Expand your joy and then recognize that everyone can do this. Then notice how the idealistic label changes to "possible" and then to "realistic" and, finally, to the only true solution.
Joy, Gary
