Circle of Peace and Tranquility The Circle of Peace and Tranquility group was begun so that people could experience the deep, profound, forever Peace which is the doorway to God Consciousness. We also have had success with hearing God's Voice. Since some of us are sensitive to lower astral forces because of sickness or emotional financial difficulties, we ask that our guardian angels accompany us at all times. We accept people of all religions, finding that diversity is a great stimulation for the group. We distinguish God The Father of the Holy Spirit from all else. We encourage personal experience. Prerequisite for joining the group is the desire to experience God Awareness and God Consciousness, and the willingness to put aside the ego in order to know His Presence and to hear His Voice. And because of all of this, we have an absolutely great time. This past week we had an unusual experience in that each and everyone of us felt the all powerful and most powerful Love that God has for humankind. It actually branded our hearts with It's fiery nature. Not only to we experience spiritual healing but usually dramatic physical healing as well. We welcome newcomers. Call Dr. Laska s office to talk with her or leave a message for the circle, 455-2333. Meeting times are flexible; currently, we are meeting on the first Wednesday of the month. Another group can join that one or, with enough interest, we can start a second night during the month.

UNDERSTANDING THE TRUE NATURE OF DIVINE CONFIDENCE Mathew Bilt Divine Confidence at a feeling level is pure calm, joy and bliss. When you have "lack of confidence," you are pretty stressed and or tense about dealing with something, someone, or yourself. At a mental level, Divine Confidence is trust in yourself and your ability to get what you want by accessing natural systems of which you are now becoming aware. Divine Confidence is a deep knowing that these systems will work for you and Divine Confidence is knowing that these systems have been given to you and that you have easy access to them. Most of us do not have an understanding and awareness of our relationship with the Divine so we miss out on having and using Divine Confidence. We all want to harness the Power of our Subconscious Mind & Universal Forces so we can easily manifest all that we want, now. All manifestation is creating in the now what you feel you own already linked with the Confidence that the Universal Machinery will deliver what is already in your Energetic Imagination Warehouse. We think we want confidence to succeed and win in life; however, when we discover Divine Confidence, we never want to "settle" for a dollop of normal confidence ever again. And we learn that life is not about fighting and winning. Its really all about CREATION. We being "Divine Creators." We are not aware of the difference between "normal confidence" and Divine Confidence; all that most of us know is that we just want what we want and we want to do the right thing to get it. Or, if someone is desperate enough, they want to do anything to get it.. In other words, we want to be good enough and smart enough to get what we want or to fulfill our needs. However, it s not about being good enough or smart enough or the need to be desperate or to do anything we will regret down the road. You ARE ENOUGH ALREADY. So Divine Confidence is...really ABOUT A RELATION- SHIP WITH THE DIVINE. It may be dawning on your that when you enlist the Divine through the Power of Your Subconscious Mind that is the Ultimate in Confidence, this is Divine Confidence. When you have Confidence in this System and in Yourself Using this System you have DIVINE CONFIDENCE....we all want to know that we are able to have and get Divine Confidence now that we are becoming aware that this is the ticket to our dreams. Divine Confidence is natural when we use this System a few times and get the knack of it. We then have faith, trust, and CONFIDENCE in OURSELVES & OUR SUBCONSCIOUS & THE UNI- VERSAL DREAM MACHINE SYSTEM that is ULTIMATE DIVINE CONFIDENCE. Once you wrap your head around the idea that there is a Powerful "Wisdom Creation" System comprised of your Conscious, Subconscious & Universal Phases of Your Mind, you start to imagine the scope and power of Divine Confidence. [continued on next page]
[continued from previous page] The Key here is to have a Relationship with This System which is a relationship with the various aspects of your self/being/consciousness. This "Wisdom Creation System" involves your Soul, Your Conscious Mind, Your Subconscious and The Divine/Universe. So what is the Deal about this Relationship? Are there any special requirements or caveats.? DIVINE RELATIONSHIP SUCCESS 101. Is a Relationship with the Divine different than any other kind of Relationship? you might wonder. A relationship with any person, place or thing is a mutual understanding and a mutual filling of needs. So, with all phases of this system we need to be in awareness, understanding and a dynamic loving giving and receiving with each of the components in the system. What is the cost or price of having or getting "Divine Confidence" and do we qualify to get some? The Cost? None, really. However, it involves being our natural self which at the core is a "Powerful Creator. It is the main qualification to get in. All you need to know is that you have been give the "Keys to the Kingdom" already. Its like having a really powerful machine or muscle car in the garage or like having access to the most powerful computer in the Universe. The ticket is Relationship developing a Relationship with the wonderful Universal & Subconscious Machinery. At our Relationship Centre we define a Healthy, Successful Relationship as a "Mutual Filling of Needs." So what is our role, purpose and action in having a Relationship with The Divine? you might ask now that you are wrapping your head around this concept of having a "Relationship with The Divine" that gives you the FAITH & CONFIDENCE to CREATE & LIVE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS. In other words, "What the Bleep does the Universe want from us?" Well here it is Plain and Simple for you. The Universe wants us to LOVE & APPRECIATE ourselves and life....and the Universe wants us to use the System to Create, preferably, what is unique and highest and best for us. In fact, it is through Appreciation of all our Existing Creations and ourselves that we can TRANSCEND where we are to a new expanded awareness that will allow us to create any thing we want instead of what we are creating now which for most people is by default in unconsciousness. The Universe wants us to Expand Creation by Creating Experiences, expressions and life creations. The Universe doesn't really care if our Creations and Experiences are negative or not, fulfilling or not. The Universe is happy with any type of Creation; however, the Universe is VERY, VERY SUPPOR- TIVE OF US CREATING OUR HIGHEST & BEST LIFE. These are the basics of succeeding with the Divine. Now let s go on and get jiggy with this powerful system we have access to that will create for us "The Life of Our Dreams. Peace of Mind Make peace of mind your goal, and your happiness will follow. ~ Karstein Bjastad Transpersonal psychology is concerned with the study of humanity's highest potential, and with the recognition, understanding, and realization of unitive, spiritual, and transcendent states of consciousness.

.Last month s gathering was held on a snowy night at Donna Kuzio s home. Presenters Dale and Nancy Gallagher helped us review the four domains in life (health, relationships, creative expression and financial supply) and helped us define and design our individual dreams for 2014 in these categories. It was great to see Monica Fricke, Kimberly Rossi and Jo Anne Bakeman, as well as some of our more frequent supporters, like Dave Cummings and Evie Kennenwood, Debbie Pillsbury, Kate Farrar, Sue Savion, Sue Hurwitz and Joanne and John Verone..

Dennis, can be reached at (315-445-79141), metaphysicsoflove.com, aquariusservices.com..the Healing Circle is in full swing. Unfortunately, we have had plenty of customers. Don t let that discourage you from sending us your prayer requests for healing, however..great, astounding news!!!! Kate Farrar has found her long lost daughter! (And the TPA Facebook Page had something to do with it! Her daughter traced Kate s mother Dorothy on the internet and that led her to our FB page where she found our own dear Kate through her mother s obituary. Dorothy was definitely working from the other side!) Her name is Elizabeth the same as Kate s! She lives in the south of France with her husband, Nick and youngest daughter, Lisa. That means that Kate has also found three grandchildren! And Kate will now have more time to get to know this new family, as she is going to retire at the end of this school year....jo Anne Bakeman will be heading off soon for a Spring semester break week at a South Carolina beach. She shared that she is doing some cutting edge teaching along the lines of some of our TPA principles. She teaches her students at OCC about creating their lives, visioning, and very important watching your thoughts because your thoughts become your reality. Our music lover (who seems to know the lyrics to every song ever written) brings music into her curriculum as well She taps into YouTube for songs like Carly Simon s I Haven t Got Time for the Pain, Wicked s For Good with the line Because I knew you, I have been changed for good, and Van Morrison s Enlightenment to get her students to discuss and write about what they hear and how that creates their reality. There are no choices that are really a detour that will take you far from where you're wanting to be because your Inner Being is always guiding you to the next, and the next, and the next. So don't be concerned that you may make a fatal choice, because there aren't any of those. You are always finding your balance. It's a never ending process. ---Abraham
