4 Fo the JOURNEY thejourneymag.com A Mind, Body and Soul Connection SPRING 2018 Issue 88 Words from the Publisher Spiritual growth, I have found anyway, can come in many ways. As I look over the years of this human existance, experiences that did not make too much sense, now seem to help me understand life better. Some of the most uncomfortable times were actually like a fertilizer to help me grow. Which reminds me of a converstaion many years ago with a friend from a 12 step recovery group. One day I stopped out to visit my friend Bob who lived out in the country. I was going thru one of those dark nights of the soul and needed to vent. We were sitting on his back porch and I went on and on, I m sure, about how life just isn t fair and the whole world is against me - or something along those lines. Bob just sat and listened. After I had finally let enough out so he could talk, Bob simply said You see out there in my back yard where the grass is so plush and much greener? I replied, Yes. Thinking what the hell does that have to do with how mean the world is to me. Bob said, That area there is where my septic tank discharges. It takes a lot of crap for that grass to look so good. That simple dialogue has helped me for over 20 years to look at things differently when times are not so good. Those times we are hurting, confused and afraid can be a blessing in disguise as long as we step back and look for the opportunity for spiritual growth. May we each find our way to spiritual growth as we trudge this road of happy destiny Namsate Clyde Front Porch Page 5-7 An Inner Life Lifted for Healing Page 8-9 by Niánn Emerson Chase Reactions are Reflections Page by MartinJon Garcia Special Journey Expo Page Pittsburgh 2018 Section Publisher and for advertising information: Clyde Chafer clydechafer@yahoo.com Cell phone: the Journey at: info@thejourneymag.com Find us online at: is a free quarterly publication.

7 ~Osho~ Enlightenment is a simple realization that everything is as it should be. That is the definition of enlightenment: Everything is as it should be, everything is utterly perfect as it is. That feeling... and you are suddenly at home. Nothing is being missed. You are part, an organic part of this tremendous, beautiful whole. You are relaxed in it, surrendered in it. You don t exist separately all separation has disappeared. A great rejoicing happens, because with the ego disappearing there is no worry left, with the ego disappearing there is no anguish left, with the ego disappearing there is no possibility of death any more. This is what enlightenment is. It is the understanding that all is good, that all is beautiful and it is beautiful as it is. Everything is in tremendous harmony, in accord.

8 An Inner Life Needed for Healing In order to heal, we do need to provide the inner environment for the ministry of the Threefold Spirit of God and the other living spiritual forces to work with us. Ideally the inner environment is reinforced by an outer environment that nourishes developing it. Jesus often provided a wholistic opportunity for healing and inner growth for those he personally encountered. He encouraged an appropriate lifestyle that would enhance a deeper, more lasting healing and continued ascension of soul. For example, in a previous vignette on the topic of healing, I spoke of the two prostitutes Jesus met and uplifted, first appealing to their minds and hearts (their inner environments), and then practically uplifting their material living circumstances by enabling them to change their outer environment. He provided the logistics for these two receptive women to change their outer conditions. After ministering to these women on the street, he did not just go on and say, Well, I will see you. Good luck! and leave. He empowered them to move into much better life circumstances. Many wouldn t know how to exist without adrenalin running through them Most of us are human products of an industrialized and high-tech society that has mechanized most of our outward existence as well as impacted how we view reality in general. Most decisions in this dominant culture are based on the profit motive, and there is very little soul or heart or spirit in any of it. It is a fast outer environment that sets the stage for us also rushing around in our minds, not taking much time to slow down to contemplate and think more deeply, let alone hear the voice of God s Spirit within us. Our lives are full of the tyranny of the urgent, almost constantly aware of the time and in some manner trying to beat the clock. For example, we find ourselves rushing to beat the rush hour of traffic or trapped in traffic jams of that so-called rush hour. We often get impatient with the person in front of us who may not be driving as fast as we would like them to, and so on. The increasing problem of road rage is an outward manifestation of the rage and frustration that is happening to us on the inside. by Niánn Emerson Chase ~ 8 ~ We also rush around inside our heads, finding it almost impossible to slow down in our minds to rest and be still. In fact, for some it is actually uncomfortable to slow down outwardly and inwardly, to rest body and mind, because the habit of fast living has become addictive. Many wouldn t know how to exist without adrenalin running through them, and many are addicted to the various substances that keep their body systems and brain hopped up in order to move even more quickly through their days. As a result, to become still in order to contemplate and reflect upon what is happening in their lives is unthinkable for many persons, and so they continue running the treadmill of fast, thoughtless living that brings mental anxiety, emotional anguish, and physical diseases.

9 The URANTIA Book informs us that Jesus never appeared to be in a hurry, and yet his days were highly productive and full of enriching encounters with other people. In other words, he was a highly efficient individual, accomplishing the goals he had set. That was because Jesus lived fully in the moment, and he was in God s will in each moment. You do not have to be rushing when you are in God s will in the moment, but our dominant culture does not provide a safe place for us to slow down and develop an inner life; we have to create those places and opportunities for quiet and spirit rest. The URANTIA Book emphasizes the importance of developing the inner life, and how if a civilization does not encourage that and provide an impetus, a catalyst for the youth of the culture to develop their inner life, that civilization will eventually crumble and fail. Is this a possibility for the existing planetary dominant culture that we live in? Jesus lived fully in the moment, and he was in God s will in each moment. A favorite author from my childhood, whose writings continue to enrich my life today, is Madeline L Engle. In The Crosswicks Journal, A Circle of Quiet, she says: A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child finished and complete. A self is always becoming. Being does mean becoming, but we run so fast, that it is only when we seem to stop, as sitting on the rock at the brook, that we are aware of our own isness of being. But certainly this is not static, for this awareness of being is always a way of moving from the selfish self, the self-image, and towards the real. Who am I then? Who are you? In order for us to discover who we really are within our God-given personality circuitry, we do have to have an inner life. We have to sit in that circle of quiet. If we do not have stillness and are running around busy all the time outwardly in our lifestyles as well as inwardly in our minds we will end up in static spirituality, not progressing in our character and soul development. From a spiritized perspective of whether something is of eternal value, all too often the hustle and bustle of life, the so-called activity is basically meaningless and give us head- and heartaches rather than clarity of higher purpose, inner peace, and true healing.

10 Reactions Are Reflections There are so many things we react to, each and every one can be learned from. Of course if we attempt to learn from every reaction we have we won t have time for anything else, so let s start with a big one, anger. When I get angry, it is a clear sign that I am not in balance and some work needs to be done. I often hear people tell me that some person or thing makes me angry. I see how that can seem to be the case, especially in today s world where we have been taught how to place blame if we have the slighted sense of being wronged. What I would like to go over in this post is that it isn t the person, their actions or that thing that is actually making you angry, but it s you, and your imbalances. I am sorry to break it to you. When an experience comes my way in which I react with anger, I first have to separate the anger from what I might be blaming it on. It is not the guy who cut me off, it s not my boss telling me to rework some nonsense, or the kids who picked my pocket, but it is only anger. When I can see the emotion for what it is, not judge those the brought it about in me, I can free myself up to examine it. In examining the emotions, and the circumstances that brought it about, I am in a better position to learn and move on. Anger comes about for a lot of reasons, it is often an emotion that we use to cover up other emotions, it s retaliatory. Angelique Clarke Assisting in the Healing of the Soul from Within * Healer * Psychic Medium * Past Life Regression Phone Readings Available ~ 10 ~ By: MartinJon Garcia I hear people say I have the right to be angry and although they are right, anger is probably not what they are feeling. I say this because, just by saying I have the right to... they are justifying. That statement also presupposes that there is another observer which could be the self, the self that wants to do the work of healing. Here, the speaker is just looking for permission to be angry, because if they re not able to be angry, they might have to admit they are not balanced. For myself this is 100% the case, and I actively work at understanding myself enough to accept that anger is needing more balance. I first have to separate the anger from what I might be blaming it on. Once, in my early 20 s, I got so angry I reacted by slamming a heavy wooden door. It crushed, and mostly severed the tip of one of my fingers. After they put my fingertip back together, for months, I couldn t help but look at how one split second changed my life forever, because my finger would never be the same again, and it was all because I got angry. Today I don t remember what set me off but I do recall that as soon as I damaged my finger, whatever it was that made me angry didn t matter anymore. We permit ourselves to be angry for all sorts of reasons. I usually see people being angry to cover up a sense of weakness. This weakness is most often associated with shame and fear, but probably a whole host of other deep seeded issues as well. Please visit Angelique at Expo Pittsburgh March 17, 18

11 Unfortunately we don t have the kind of culture that values the sort of personal work which would be able to remove anger from our vernacular. When we see anger arise, there is something that needs our attention, something of us that is not being loved. When we take the time to listen to our emotions we can see the signs that are directing us to reflect and find our way to love ourselves in a deeper way. This sort of reflection will not only heal ourselves but it will heal the planet. Love may not be valued but it is valuable and there is no limit to it. I ask you to reflect on your anger and find the bits of you that need more love, because we can all use a little more.

13 RENEE JENNINGS, MA MSW LCSW Embodiment and Ascension: Earth, Body & Energy Saturday from 2:30 to 4pm $25 (you must also have entrance ticket to the expo) 90 minute workshop Special Event ~ Saturday HANK BAUGHMAN Yes We re Spirits. No We Don t Die Saturday from 2:45 to 4pm FREE (Must also have entrance ticket to the expo) For some time I was a materialist, thinking that when we re dead, that s the end. Brain is dead, mind is dead, consciousness extinguished. But startling personal experience, intensive research and hundreds of conversations turned me around. I am now convinced beyond doubt that we are indeed spirits on a physical journey and that the afterlife is absolutely real. Not only that, we may be eternal. In my talk I discuss my experiences, showing dramatic photographic proof of one, describe mind blowing events in the lives of others I know and I invite those who attend to reveal their own special experiences. Expo promises to be a very valuable weekend. Hope to see you there. Hank Baughman continues a career that began in radio and moved to television news as a Channel 11 anchor in the 80s and to print, as a business magazine editor. He is currently a talk host and newscaster at PA Talk AM 910, FM 89.7 and News Talk 1480 radio. PA Talk, broadcasting from Latrobe, is heard in Pittsburgh. Early in his career Hank became interested in the nature of consciousness, after interviewing people who d had special experiences. Until that time, he says, I was pretty much a materialist. I m now absolutely convinced consciousness is not entirely brain, and I ve had extraordinary experiences that to me prove it more such experiences than anyone else in media that I m aware of. The personal and planetary evolution of consciousness requires that we honor and activate the innate wisdom of the body and surrender into deep relationship with the Earth. In doing so, we open ourselves to our Divine Source and become within ourselves the union of Earth and Sky. This will be an experiential workshop as we ground and work with subtle energies, allowing healing and transformative frequencies to flow through our being. Renee Jennings MA MSW LCSW is an energy/intuitive healer, gestalt/somatic therapist,hypnotherapist, teacher/trainer and spiritual guide with 25 years in the healing arts.

When we do our own inner work, each of us is a pulse in the Universe, helping to lift and shift all of humanity. Allow yourself to become the light that you seek, the light that our world needs right now. I believe it is through grace, love and true self-forgiveness that we each grow, expand and open to our greatest and most beautiful divine self.

(Must have entrance ticket to the expo) Everything we do in life is preceded by a personal energy that reacts within us and motivates us. We all guide our daily thoughts, actions, reactions, feelings, choices & words with this energy. People tell us, think before you speak, but what I suggest is that we feel before we think. Our energetic responses, based on many factors, dictate what we will think, say, do, or experience emotionally to a given situation. Too many of us have lost the connection to this core energy and we don t realize how we are being affected by it or how it is affecting the quality of our lives. Emotional? Drama-filled? Not feeling in control of your own life? Angry? Stressed? Tired? Overwhelmed? Find out why with Melissa Carey. Melissa Carey is a Reiki Master Teacher with a background in Music Therapy and the host of the new television show, What IF? As a born empath, intuitive & healer, she has lived her life as an energy worker, psychic & reader to help others find their true self and heal their lives.

More and more health professionals, and consumers are becoming aware of the incredible benefits that one can derive by being in a Far Infrared Sauna.

The results are giving the Far Infrared Sauna a reputation for being one of the best ways to help the body get rid of heavy minerals, and even dioxin. Phil Wilson has an honors degree in mathematics, and has been exploring healing energies, spiritual realizations, and direct experience for over 40 years.
