Gerald O’Donnell, who produces the extremely interesting and workable Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing Courses has made a powerful recent Teleseminar freely available…

Many secrets of Creation are openly revealed – some previously jealously guarded or misused to control others – so that you can finally understand and experience how much more of a powerful Being you really are than what society and all the old structures have wanted you to believe, and kept you from realizing.

Understand that each of us carries that very power within, and that no one can take it away from us, for it is the power of One Mind. God, if you like. Universal creative consciousness. It is up to you to reconnect to It. Listen to this teleseminar: Reality Secrets Unveiled.

Trans4mind has included the Know Your Own Mind in-depth personality questionnaire since our earliest days back in 1996. The questionnaire is based on Prof. Eysenck’s popular book, Know Your Own Personality, and in particular it aligns with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), the professional test used by psychiatrists worldwide for over 40 years. We’ve had Javascript auto-scoring for years but it hasn’t been especially reliable. The programming has now been completely redone by Ken Ward and doing the test now requires registration. This means scores are saved in a secure, confidential database, so that you can end off and return to the test any time you want. No more losing scores! Plus you can redo the test at a later date and measure your progress in the interim.

The questionnaire analyses have been rewritten and are conveniently collected in a Report at the end of the test, and include a graphical representation. We have further plans, to update the test norms based on real Internet results, and to specify these for nationality and gender as well. Plus we will correlate the analysis across the categories and traits, to provide a broader picture. Members will be able to return and take advantage of these enhancements even on their old tests.

We recommend those who register to also subscribe to the free weekly Cultivate Life! Magazine. The archive of past issues going back over 5 years is now freely available to all visitors online at Trans4mind… visit the Archives. The archive includes over 250 audio podcasts as well! Subscribers to the mag have access to a comprehensive personal development ebook resource – hundreds of topics to help them meet the challenges of life. And those who choose to become Lifetime Members (a $20 fee) can access the World of Inspiration eLibrary, a really phenomenal collection of Mind-Body-Spirit materials that is added to weekly. This collection used to be available on 2 CDs for double the cost, and was limited to what we could fit in that space. Now it’s unlimited and ever-expanding – and brilliant value!

These changes feel good to me and I trust you will take advantage of them.

A nice summary of things came to me in the night from the Higher Self (I hesitate to say “my” HS, it’s the aspect of consciousness that just knows without words and is outside of space and time.)

“God experiences Life through each of us, and we experience Life thanks to God.”

I think it sums up so much, how all of life is integrated, and how gratitude is key to happiness and to wholeness.

I suggest to meditate on that connection, daily, with joy in your heart.

God is Love is Life is Truth.

So be glad and you will achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to go to Tibet or follow any guru. Just accept the truth of Oneness. And be glad.

Wallace Huey was our first Heart to Heart coach, after he contacted me with the idea about four years ago, to have a free life coaching service with Q&As that would be published in the newsletter. The Life Challenges that the questioners presented turned out to be the basis of a new reorganisation of the site, and Wallace came on board as a co-director of Trans4mind. And then he became so busy running the Trans4mind Network of international sites, that we needed a new coach…

Lo and behold, Maurice Turmel got in touch at the precise moment of need and offered his services. After six months of coaching online, he too became so busy working on his own projects – in particular the Ascension Training Centre – that he had to move on. He contributed a great deal and it was a pleasure working with him. I hope we’ll aways be friends.

We asked in the Newsletter for experienced coaches to apply for the H2H position and received 10 first-class applications, all of whom I reckon would have been good. Nevertheless, we have chosen Phil Evans from Australia (who runs the People Stuff site) and Dr. Doris Jeanette, a long-time Newsletter contributor, who is founder of the Center for New Psychology. I’m very pleased with both of their work and grateful for the synchronicities that have brought such a like-minded group of people together, that we have working now at Trans4mind. Voluntarily giving their service, I might add.

Wallace has started a new project in Dublin called Money Max. He is offering Dubliners who feel in a financial tight corner (and who doesn’t in Dublin at the moment?) the financial know-how and training to needed to reverse their fortunes. And upon this model – which incorporates personal development as an essential element – he anticipates expanding world-wide, in the same way that Trans4mind has done, since the need is indeed felt everywhere.

Our work on the Network continues to bear fruit as the site in Hindi now comes online: Trans4mind.in. Of course the real work has been put in by the service provider in India, GopiKrishnan, who has huge ambitions for the site in the coming years. It’s thrilling to see this occur.

Next Spring we plan a get-together of the Trans4mind service providers here in France. We’ll make it a 10-day workshop to which all contribute, with cuisine from France, England, Germany, Italy, India, China, Lebanon, Hungary, Ireland and Mexico.

“I think, therefore I am.”

Ironic really how this great philosophic truth turns out to be so wrong…

I am therefore I think. Because I need to, as a spiritual being living and solving the problems of the human physical experience. But then I am not, at least not as that original I – I have become the thinker.

The real me isn’t the thinking ego, neither is it my physical emotions. Neither left nor right brain, more abstract than that… It’s a silent witness in the background, in no time and no space, the higher self that just knows. An all-loving essence, inseparable from God. In truth, One with All.

Namaste.

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.Exodus35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including thehair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan.

James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia

Each month in the Trans4mind Newsletter we include the next episode of a 40-part series by Carolyn Evers, ending in Autumn 2012. The series will then be widely released in December 2012 as a freely available ebook, so as many people as possible will understand how they can participate in the Ascension – the transformation of the human race to become guided by and one with Unconditional Love in nature and being. You can read the articles to date here on Trans4mind: Ascension Series.

I recently undertook a Soul Healing session with both Carolyn and her colleague Richard Presser. It was a remarkable experience and this is the testimonial I sent them…

Having “sat in” on the session of my French wife Nicole, to help with any language misunderstandings, I knew what to expect with my own Soul Healing. But how different to take part myself! It was one of the most profound and illuminating experiences of my life. Carolyn and Richard are so good at their jobs, they explain and teach so clearly, in a friendly and patient way, and the session is above all a learning experience – even for someone who thought he knew “all about” his past and what’s what, little did I know what was in store for me and the new skills I would learn so quickly and effectively. Most surprising for me was the presence of extra-terrestrials who knew me from my time before this planet and Buddhists who were teachers from my time as a monk over a thousand years ago. I felt their presence as warm hands on my head and back as well – so incredibly moving: they and many others cared enough to come. Father God confirmed some things I already knew – my participation as an apostle and leader of the early Christian Church, and my mission in this life to aid in the Ascension of Mankind – but hearing this from such a source was again, incredibly heart-warming. And Mary, like Carolyn, a sweetheart – one can only love such beautiful beings. Richard did my Karmic Clearing… an oppressive weight (that I hadn’t even realized was there before) lifted from my head and shoulders as fear and self-doubt dissipated and were no longer part of my identity. The best point: when I had learned how to contact a discarnate being, I was able to speak to my father – my wonderful, loving father – who died six years ago. He said he was lonely because he’s waiting for the arrival of my mother, who is 94 and I know, eager to reunite with him. Mon dieu. Truly, this Soul Healing is a crucial step for every person who seeks freedom and enlightenment.

All negative past life trauma must be cleared in preparation for Ascension. This stuck past life energy is carried in the emotional subtle body located next to the physical body and will also cause symptoms of disease if not cleared. This negative karma must be cleared and healed before Ascension. This can be a job for many lifetimes if one is fortunate to have the right circumstances and teachers, but now – in these crucial times leading up to the Ascension period of late-2012/2013 – it can be cleared in just minutes through the Karmic Clearing command that is included during the private Soul Healing session (conducted by conference telephone call) administered by Carolyn Evers and Richard Presser. More information can be found at the Soul Healing site.

I have featured a video featuring Stephen Fry’s discourse about the Catholic Church at the section of Trans4mind called ‘Religion Doesn’t Have a Prayer.’ Stephen Fry has been one of my favorite people for many years. I’ve read all his books and watched most of his shows. But this video was a complete surprise. Not surprising that Fry was so articulate and mindful but that he shared my views on fundamentalist Christianity. And how he did it: what cool, what courage, what a man!

Current events have demonstrated a tremendous desire, on the behalf of perhaps the majority of people in the world, for peace in their lives. They are no longer satisfied with the mentality of political conflict, which endangers economic progress and human rights and freedoms. But most importantly, I feel that many people are now aware that if we want peace in the world, first we need to make peace with our own lives. It is human nature that needs to change, and we are capable of making such a transformation.

Our experience in the world reflects our inner state – yes, this is a kind of magic but that is the reality, the world is miraculous. I have seen so much evidence of this when I – or a student or client – have made a genuine shift in our belief system that resolves an inner conflict, then very soon our real-world circumstances change accordingly. We mirror our internal state – our resistance/fear and acceptance/love – in our personal life experience. As a group we mirror our consciousness in world events. It is our personal responsibility to become aware of our contribution to the group consciousness, to help create a world with more opportunities for ourselves and our loved ones – which ultimately means for everyone.

So what wars do we wage inside? The purposes and goals that we hold dearly – some we may have brought into this life or felt most strongly as a child or young person – are often compromised in the face of problems that we discover in trying to achieve them, and we may forget about them (actually suppress them) and opt for safer solutions. Playing the safe game is a sad conflict with the game we really (still) want to play. We have become someone else, a substitute for our true self. Reinforcing this position are the attachments we have come to cling on to, the fears we may have of losing control of our safe space, the resistance we feel against elements of change, and the judgments we make that prevent acceptance of what is.

To better our position, to be able to open up our space and express our true desires, we first need to come to terms with our situation. Our true nature is an expression of love and that is the quality that we need first to rediscover in our consciousness.

Before we can contribute, through our consciousness, toward peace in the world we need to make peace with ourselves. Before we can love others unconditionally we need to be able to genuinely love ourselves. Before we can forgive and cease making judgments of others we need to learn how to forgive ourselves and warmly accept ourselves just as we are.

If we can forgive ourselves then we can more easily forgive others. If we do not feel able to forgive others then we clearly have not learned to love ourselves. And the irony is, when we do truly love ourselves, we and others will not even need any forgiveness, because we are able to accept the past, present and future as it is, without judgment. Our creation. Discrimination – of good/bad, right/wrong, ugly/beautiful – is not part of the vocabulary of love.

Are we all born equal?
The short answer: yes, but not the same, not by a long chalk.

All persons have the same qualitative make-up; we are born equal in this respect, as recognized in the values of ‘Equality, Fraternity & Brotherhood.’ All human beings have the same reflexes, instincts, drives, needs, capacities, and rights; all have the same powers of perception, discrimination, attentiveness, retentiveness, reasoning, and so forth.

The differences between persons are quantitative rather than qualitative. ‘Equality’ is to do with our qualities, that we all share, but not the degree to which they are developed.

Behavioral psychology has installed the idea that we inherit all of our traits, and besides the modifying effects of cultural conditioning that we stay basically the same as our genetic hard-wiring dictates. That’s true if you don’t do anything about making positive change, if you don’t recognize the aspects of yourself that are more than animal. Recently many have recognized this possibility and they are looking for valid information that can help them make positive changes.

We each differ in the degree of our various spiritual, mental, emotional and physical abilities, and in the manner in which the amounts of the various traits combine in our individuality. A wide range of aptitude, personality, learning and intelligence tests will show differences as high as 25:1 from person to person, with a characteristic bell-shaped distribution curve, in much the same way as physical characteristics are varied.

It is these quantities, which are such an important factor in personal competence, creativity and ultimately our success in life, that personal development aims to increase. It is through our differences that we are able to express our individuality and achieve unique goals.

Fortunately it is possible to develop our skills, talents, maturity and intelligence to high degrees, using appropriate techniques. For example, there are effective mind development courses available to develop the faculties of vision, communication, concentration and will, learning and reading skills, logic, memory, intuition and creativity.

I feel that it is a mistake to belittle the differences between individuals due to a fear of being seen as judgmental or non-accepting of a person who has little of certain qualities. It is much better to be realistic (which is truly to be non-judgmental and accepting) and recognize the strength and weakness of our various qualities. Then we can take advantage of the opportunities that are available to develop and improve ourselves, toward the goal of fulfilling our potential.

Freedom to change
Implicit in any concept of learning is the notion of change. If we open our minds to discovering and learning new information, we change some part of ourselves: our attitude, behavior, values, assumptions, or perhaps the amount of knowledge we have. The change may mean a rejection or an alteration of previously accepted beliefs or behavior, or it may mean an expansion or extension of them.

Change is often perceived as frightening as it threatens to rob us of the safety and legitimacy of our personal, often cherished, position and boundaries – especially since maintaining this safe space has helped us to survive as well as we have up to now (even if that’s not as well as we could do).

When change is demanded by another person or new circumstances, we tend to feel threatened, defensive and perhaps rushed. The new learning is not perceived as something desirable and of our own choosing. Pressure to change, without an opportunity for exploration and choice, seldom results in experiences of joy and excitement in learning.

To turn this around, we need to be proactive in our learning, to expand our knowledge and abilities in advance of forced changes of circumstance. If there’s one thing guaranteed in our lives it is that change will be upon us, sooner or later; usually sooner. If we are open to change, and are willing to learn whatever is necessary to predict and adapt to it, we can even become its master and control its direction. Self-directed learning is therefore key to mastery over life and to the creation of the life that we want.

The above passage is drawn from my ebook Daring to be Yourself. The book is based on principles which have helped thousands of people, endorsed by experts over the centuries. The ebook (available as a downloadable digital file) intersperses theoretical understanding mixed with practical exercises throughout, to help you uncover the barriers to self-knowledge and freedom of expression and action.

Part One, Getting Started, looks at some basic principles of happiness and some tips to start making your life more self-directed and fulfilling.

Part Two, Background Psychology, is a summary of the broad streams of psychological thought that are the context and source of the personal development techniques that follow in the book.

Part Three, Communication & Relationships, comprises a short course to improve communication skills. Communication is the solvent of all problems and is a foundation for personal development.

Part Four, A Positive Approach, is a set of personal development principles and exercises that I have found to be particularly effective over the years, both as a psychotherapist and in teaching many students around the world on our courses. Based on the Positive Approach course you’ll find on this site, the book takes this a step further to provide a powerful path for your forward growth.

Part Five, Achieving Goals, gives the key tools you need for creating the life that you most desire.

Part Six, Background Psychology II, sets the stage for more advanced work on self-development, leading into the transpersonal realm of enhanced spiritual awareness.

Part Seven, Going Beyond, concentrates on the spiritual dimension of personal growth.

Human nature is universal, something we all share. But that doesn’t mean human nature cannot further evolve; indeed it must, to meet the needs of Mankind’s present situation, where a greater degree of peaceful cooperation, reform and justice is critical for our future survival and prosperity.

Most of us just struggle on. We do everything bar change our minds. Only a few realize that the path of personl growth means changing ourselves. Those who have this realization – and act on it – gain what others can only dream about. All you have to lose is whatever stands in your way. Nothing will change unless you do.

No one need accept that they must remain as they were shaped by their hereditary body-mind and by the conditioning of their childhood and culture. Each of us can evolve consciously by undertaking our own path of personal development, according to our individual needs, weaknesses and strengths. To make a really good start, the Daring to Be Yourself ebook covers a range of key personal development topics and most people will benefit from increasing their knowledge and abilities in these areas.

The key is to take what you learn and put it into practice in your daily life. To change the engrained habits of a lifetime, and even to change the nature programmed into your genes, is possible but it will take your determined application, over and over again, to reprogram your mind and transform yourself.

Remember, the guide on your path is your own true inner nature, your connection with the universal, and that is LOVE. Love is unconditional acceptance. At all times ask yourself, “Am I doing / thinking / saying this in love?” and you will not go far wrong.

   “Why do we find so many books attempting to guide and aid us in locating the answers to our search for self-knowledge and truth? Could it be the style of communication many authors use may not connect with all of us?

   “The techniques and methods for highlighting our individual wake-up call are simply stated and easy to undertake. What a delight to feel the presence of company along the path that draws us to change. I’m at home on my new course.” –Becky Reed

Dr. Gabriella Kortsch produces a wonderful radio show each week called Re-Wiring the Soul… “This is a show that aims at real talk about how to make a difference in your life. How to improve your life. How to better understand why you are the way you are and help yourself grow far beyond that. This means that we focus not only on your psyche, your mind, your emotions, and your body, but also on your spirit and your soul.”

The show’s archive contains many emminent leaders and researchers, healers and practitioners – a lot of fascinating material and Gabriella, who has a great mind herself, draws the best out of them. Last week Gabriella kindly asked me to appear on the show. I enjoyed it tremendously, I hope you will too…

Looking back to previous shows, the guests she interviews are a fascinating bunch. It’s well worth putting the show’s RSS feed into your newsreader or browser bookmarks.
