Gregg Braden Speaking about Edge of the World’s Perfect Storm, Pasadena, October 27th
Gregg Braden is one part scientist, one part scholar and one part spiritual advocate for the well-being of humanity as our planet goes through transitions on every level. Mr. Braden is speaking to fully packed audience at the Hay House I Can Do It retreat in Pasadena California.
Much of his recent discussions, sharing of insights and cautionary perspectives are based on his newest work, Deep Truth: Living on the Edge of the World’s Perfect Storm. This highly talked about subject of global human and planetary change is a fascinating subject. Gregg Braden takes us deep inside decades of travels, research and thought to explore the subject of rapid global changes. Our world, and your personal world is facing a tremendous shift.
A new world has arrived and life, as we’ve known it in the past, has changed forever! The question is no longer when a great shift will occur? The question now is where are the changes leading, what can we realistically expect, and what does it all mean for us—our families, our communities, our lives?
In this compelling new program, bestselling author and futurist Gregg Braden marries his expertise in science and technology with the intimate knowledge preserved by the world’s indigenous elders to answer the questions on everyone mind:
• What does our changing world mean to us?
• What can we do to ease the transition?
In Mr. Braden’s, Deep Truth program you’ll be presented with newly discovered keys that help you:
• Stay healthier than ever before
• Adapt your finances and lifestyles accordingly
• Find your life’s true purpose and live a more fulfilling life
• Provide sustainably for yourself and your families
Through a powerful synthesis of easy-to understand science and the wisdom traditions of the past, this multi-media program explores the triggers underlying the present cycle of global, and personal, change as well as the life-affirming shifts that we can make that give meaning, and hope, for the new world that is emerging before our eyes!
His workshop takes place on Saturday October 27th, 2012.
Time: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Place: Pasadena Convention Center
Sponsor: Hay House Events, I Can Do It 2012, Pasadena.

Heal Your Life with Mantra-thon 2012
Join us at Ask a Spiritual Teacher, Making Friends with Angels, FourGates.com, and many other companies for the 2012 Vajrasattva Mantra-thon for the benefit of all beings.
What is the purpose of the Vajrasattva mantra?
The purpose of using this mantra is to release a blanket of healing and purifying energy in you own life as well as throughout the world. Much of human suffering is caused by living in delusion, attachment to anger, hatred, jealousy and fear. When using the Vajrasattva mantra you can create temporary relief from any earth bound attachments to things which create unhappiness, then release the energy of your deepest, soulful Self where the presence of Divine Energy exists.
This wonderfully easy to participate in Mantra-thon 2012 is taking place between now – March 8th, 2012. Follow this link, and then like us on Facebook to learn more.
Click here to join the Mantra-thon 2012.
The period of time between Tibetan New Year, called Losar – February 22, and Chotrul Duchen – March 8 is considered to be very auspicious for all positive activities. This positive energy cycle creates an opportunity for magnification of the benefits of any spiritual activity you are engaged in, such as, reciting prayers and mantra for the sake of yourself and everyone in the world. Meritorious activity(creating positive karma) is said to be multiplied 100,000 times during this time frame.
Invest 10 minutes a day between February 22 – March 8 to recite the beautiful mantra. Everyone at FourGates.com, as well as those participating throughout the world will be accumulating the short six syllable Vajrasattva and 100 syllable Vajrasattva mantras for the benefit of the world and all beings.

How To Write A Eulogy
There is a knack to everything in life, especially writing a moving and memorable eulogy. If you need to know how to How To Write A Eulogy, then I believe you may find this useful.
When an actor delivers lines flawlessly in a play, in a movie or at a eulogy it is because they had plenty of good coaching, rehearsals and well written lines. Without good writing a eulogy has no life, no direction or less power. Writing with clarity is the key. Then you will need to rehearse. However, don’t worry at bit because I’ll walk you through every step of the journey. With good guidance presenting an inspiring eulogy can be pleasant, easy and inspirational.
A eulogy is one of the most important ways to remember a friend or loved one. You have one chance to get it right, so be sure to access the best guidance you need. Very few people have experience with how to write a eulogy because it is a specialized skill. One you rarely have to call upon.
As a spiritual teacher and spiritual adviser, I have often counseled my clients on how to deal with writing a eulogy. It occurred to me that if a short and easy to use book was written, I could help many others as well. My information rich book is the easiest resource for you to use in a time of great need. It was crafted with you in mind.
I have placed everything you will need to write a loving, memorable and moving eulogy. It you have me there working beside you, guiding you, then your eulogy will be profoundly easier to write.

2. Famous Eulogies for writing inspiration or to borrow passages from. These make for interesting reading as well.
3. Favorite Biblical Scriptures for your eulogy in the event that you want extra inspiration.
4. How to Write an Obituary which does require a set of guidelines that no one else will tell you about.
5. Ten Ways to Heal and Grieve After Losing a Loved One, which is as important as writing and presenting any eulogy. You need support. This is a time of change, healing and recovery. I wrote this from the depth of my experience in hospice work.
6. Healing Affirmations to Get You through a Challenging Time. Affirmations are short healing phrases you can use to help raise you up emotionally, mentally and spiritually during and after the writing of a eulogy, during funeral planning, after burial service and in the days or weeks that follow. Thoughts are powerful ways to focus your spiritual nature, and they can help with maintaining yourself during this transitional time.
I know that if you are reading this post, that this is a time of transition in your life. I have done what I can to be supportive the best way I know how to as a public speaker, spiritual teacher and friend.

Karmic Benefits Are Increased During Full Moon Cycles
Today is the Sun in Libra, aka, the Full Moon of Libra. Whatever intentions, actions and activities you engage in today will be magnified by the streams of electro-magnetic energy. Like the sea life at the shore that feeds on the harvest of life when the tides are high, so too are human kind during the cycles of increased energy from the surrounding ocean of life.
Farmers know that being mindful of the cycles of Sun and full moon when planting seeds create better crop yields. The same energy and cycles are affecting the entire planet, solar system and galaxcy. There are clearly cycles of electro-magnetic energy which rise and fall in a rthymic manner. We have yet to scientifically fully understand the depth of the electro-magnetic energy cycles from the Sun, distant stars and galaxcy. Some people disregard them altogether as superstition because the body of scienfic knowledge is still small, while others have been studying Sun Cycles for thousands of years. Only recently has the notion of dark matter, which is the fabric of the universe, been grasped. Enlightened masters have known about dark matter for eons, calling it the fabric of life. Perhaps what science calls dark matter is a network of electrical fibers that act as the nervous system for commuication. If the human body has a fiberous network, why not the universe from which the human body is just a tiny micro cosmic reflection?
In the ancient wisdom, Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese wisdom traditions understanding the relationship of mankind to the greater universe has been a source of study for spiritual practice. According to the Buddhist masters, both positive karmic benefits and destructive consequences are multiplied 1,000′s of times during the full moon period. Make special efforts to express loving-kindness, compassion, generosity and joyfulness the 2-3 days preceding a full moon, especially the day of the full and the 2-3 days following the full moon. These days are more powerful.
No harm can come from exercising self-discipline to be more mindful of your conduct during these times. Only good will come from efforts to be your better Self, expressing positive qualities in each moment. This is the path of happiness.
Activities which are particularly important today would be meditation, prayers for the welfare of the world, and those you love, service projects, and engaging in life long passions which are philanthropic.
Blessings for a prosperous day.
Love Each Other – I Shall Send Thee Pure Thoughts
Love Each Other – I Shall Send Thee Pure Thoughts…
This meditative quote from Master Morya on loving each other is taken from the Agni Yoga book series, Leaves of Morya’s Garden – The Call, verse 33, page 18…
“Love Each Other – I shall send thee pure thoughts.
I shall strengthen thy desire for perfection.
By love would I heal the unjust ones.
Ramakrishna says:
“Love, and all will come unto thee.”
I rejoice in unveiling the manifestations of life’s complexities.”
Throughout history, love has been written about more than any other subject except probably money. Yet, from the spiritual point, which is more comprehensive than the mundane materialistic point of view, if you have more love in your life, all of your needs will be met.
What is ironic is that according to Master Morya, and the Great Indian Saint, Ramakrishna, cultivating the power of love will draw all things to us.
Why is love so important?
Love is important to express in daily life because your expressions of true love are simply a smaller current flowing out from the Ocean of Love and Compassion. Loving others is one way to stay connected to Source, God or higher Self.
Love is synonymous with heaven, nirvana, God, Source, Higher Self, Great Spirit or whatever you feel most comfortable calling the One Presence within and behind all appearances.
Master Morya is saying, love each other because that is how we stay connected to God, through loving. If the water of life flows through your life, then the garden of your life will be abundant with the fruits of love.
The inspiration shared in Master Morya’s writings is filled with thought provoking and encouraging words. Enjoy His writings often because each phrase is rich with spiritual nourishment, encouragement, wisdom, joy, inspiration and lasting meaning.
Meditate upon these phrases often, and re-read them whenever you have moments to nourish your True Self, God, Source or pure nature. In order to live the best life possible, cultivate positive karmic tendencies to think, feel and act with loving-kindness.
Spend moments throughout the day focusing on the good within yourself and others. This opens the door to the soul where inner guidance, blessings and abundance can be found.
You can use Master Morya’s writings as a source of meditation, or as “seed thoughts” to ponder upon.

Through Joy, Purify the Path…
Through joy, purify the path…
This meditative quote on the power of joy and the path of purification is taken from the Agni Yoga book series, Leaves of Morya’s Garden – The Call, verse 22, page 15…
“Through joy, purify the path.
While thou art pupils, learn to overcome irritability.
My pupils must have a sympathetic eye.
As through a magnifying glass behold the good, and
belittle tenfold the signs of evil, lest thou
remain as before.”
Joy is one of the most powerful forces in human life because joy releases energy from your higher Self, soul and the Source of life. You can only be joyful in a state of appreciation, gratitude and abundance.
Notice what happens when you are irritable. Does irritability cause a diminishing of your energy, concentration and well being? Yes, irritability is the enemy of serenity and joy.
Master Morya is giving us a hint about how to remain happy, joyful and purify all blocks in your life to true spiritual living as a soul in the human experience. He encourages us to magnify the good, to focus on what is positive, joyful and constructive.
There is an epidemic in our society today, and that epidemic is complaining, followed by a related dis-ease called criticism. It may be fashionable to criticize, but it blocks access to your soulful nature, and to Source, or God, or enlightened mind.
When he uses the word sympathy, it might be best to interpret that as compassion. Compassion is balanced loving-kindness aware of the needs of others. Compassion is a universal sense that we are in this journey together, and need one another to support the maximum quality of life.
The inspiration shared in Master Morya’s writings is filled with thought provoking and encouraging words. Enjoy His writings often because each phrase is rich with spiritual nourishment, encouragement, wisdom, joy, inspiration and lasting meaning.

Be More Simple in Daily Life
Be more simple in daily life…
This meditative quote is taken from the Agni Yoga book titled, Leaves of Morya’s Garden – The Call, verse 6. Page 11…
“Be note bold in daily life. Be more simple.
My friends, let not the personal affect thy auras.”
Often times, we think bold is a positive expression, but usually boldness is an expression of ego, or self-clinging when we seek attention for our own personality. Showing off, drawing unnecessary attention to ourselves in daily life is most often a waste of energy causing those around us to be repulses.
There are forms of bold action which are beneficial, such as saving a life, standing up for a friend when those around you are attacking them or putting this person down.
Each thought, each word, each feeling and each action affects your aura. Your aura is the sum total of all of these contained in the electro-magnetic field around your physical body. Your aura is the embodiment of your character.
Yes, there are occasionally times when heroic examples of boldness are called for, but these are very seldom.
The inspiration shared in Master Morya’s writings is filled with thought provoking and encouraging words. Enjoy His writings often because each phrase is rich with spiritual nourishment, encouragement, wisdom, joy, inspiration and lasting meaning.
Meditate upon these phrases often, and re-read them whenever you have moments to nourish your soul.

Happiness Lies in Serving the Salvation of Humanity
This quote is taken from the Agni Yoga series, and th healing book titled, Leaves of Morya’s Garden – The Call, 4. Page 10….
“My Friends! Happiness lies in serving the salvation of Humanity.
Put aside all prejudices and, summoning thy spiritual forces, aid mankind.
Turn the unsightly towards beauty.
As the tree renews its leaves, so shall men flourish on the path of righteousness.”
These poetic spiritual phrases are filled with wisdom, joy, encouragement and lasting value. You can use Master Morya’s writings as a source of meditation, for seed thoughts to ponder upon.

Law of Attraction is about Giving more Than Getting
Unfortunately, the Law of Attraction has been poorly explained by many teachers on the world stage today. If you watched the movie “The Secret” is was presented that this beautiful Divine Law is about how to get more “stuff”, more money, a bigger house, in other words forms of what we usually call materialism. There was a strong message of gim me, gim me, gim me…There is a measure of truth in this message that we have unmet needs but not how to best meet them. The Law of Attraction is primarily about how to be in the Divine Flow of giving and receiving, then giving and receiving.
How do you stay in the Divine Flow?
By engaging your inner thoughts, feelings and actions in giving, generosity, sharing and gratitude everyone including you is a winner in getting needs met.
Service is the river bed of the Law of Attraction. Devotion to the well-being of yourself and that of the world around you is the motivation that will keep the river flowing within you. Your needs are small compared to those of the greater family of mankind. But, they are intimately interconnected.
On the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, we receive more when we give more. History teachers us that the more we give, the more our needs are naturally, and spontaneously met. There are countless lessons for this in your life if you will reflect about past experiences.
Think of yourself as a current of loving-kindness working for the welfare of yourself and the world around you. In every moment possible, give love, kindness, joy and compassion, and the current that fills all of your money, prosperity, relationship and career needs will be responded to in full measure.
Christ said it best, and here is the direct quote…. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7,8.
A friend of mine owns a touring company here in Phoenix Arizona, and another friend is a concierge in Sedona. The one friend that is the concierge called me asking for information. His need was for information about tours for fun things to do for some of his client when visiting Scottsdale and Phoenix. I put the two of them together for mutual financial and professional benefit aiding their prosperity. However, I did not think to myself, “How can I make buck from them both?” I simply helped each of them meet a need that they had when it arose.
When you and I are being a channel for the Law of Attraction, we spontaneously help to needs of others. Our needs will be met when we ask as well. When generosity is active in your life the spiritual energy flowing into us and out to others creates new opportunities for that blessing to flow back to us. However, generosity and giving is not
about having secret desires to get back, there is simply a knowingness that this is how the laws of life work.
All prosperity is a flow from the One Source,
or God,
or the Divine Mind,
or whatever you are most comfortable calling it, and your life, and the world around you.
Abundance and prosperity is best enjoyed when moving through you as a current does into the stream of life for the benefit of all beings.
The best question to ask yourself is this,…
“How may I best serve the greater purpose of my life, and that of the Presence, or Source?” Material happiness is a by-product of that natural expression of staying in the flow of living a greater purpose rather than the just wanting more stuff to feel safe, secure and fulfilled. You were born to become a conscious co-creator with the Divine Mind, God or Source rather than to be a consumer of more and more stuff.
Ask yourself this question,…
Does more stuff lead to greater happiness and true prosperity?
Study the lives of financially wealthy people, and you will see that money did not buy happiness. The bigger house did not create a greater measure of joy, contentment and well-being. More stuff is good if it meets your needs to create more welfare for other human beings.
By being aware of the happiness and well-being of others we are actively engaging the Law of Attraction. State your needs in relation to that higher intention vs. just desiring more stuff, and I guarantee you that your life will overflow with abundance of everything that your truly need.
