Synchronicities
"You know; it is to wonder if there are anything else but synchronicities..." Mahalan e Louis
When I am alert, awake, paying attention, I start to notice some amazing so-called synchronicities, things that line up EXACTLY at the same moment. Events that are technically impossible to coordinate or predict. When this happens, I know there is a divine order, a divine plan that is WAY bigger than my own.
Last night, I opened my Chinese fortune cookie and got "Pick a Path with Heart"... minutes before going onto an XPR XPRess Teleclass with Mahalene Louis and Michael Wolf. The Path of XPR IntegriTREE IS the definitive Path of Heart. Earlier in the day, two more things lined up for me while I was gearing up to write this newsletter.
#1: I decided to watch "Groundhog Day" while working at my desk. I went on Facebook at the same time, looking to see if Michael was online, and decided to say hi to a friend from elementary school days. She saw my Facebook comment "I'm watching 'Groundhog Day'... Watching a woodpecker and a blue jay while preparing to do my newsletter. To be continued..".and she added her comment when she got onto Facebook: "The guy who wrote the story and screenplay is a friend of mine. What a great movie, eh?" Funny thing is that I've never "chatted" on Facebook with this friend before.
#2: Later, as I was changing one of the teleclass titles on a document and writing the name of a different teleclass entitled "Prepare to DIE", I was watching "The Whalerider" and Pai, one of the main characters was saying "I called you (the ancient ones, the whales) and they came but it wasn't right. They were dying." And then someone else said about one of the whales: "He died." Then a few moments later, when Pai was riding the whale that was beached into the ocean, she said "I wasn't scared to die." Now, how often do I write "Die" and how often do I watch "The Whalerider"? Gave me a giggle and a boost!
Are YOU awake? What are you noticing? What signs are you reading? Are you not picking up on anything greater than yourself? Eitherway, perhaps you'd like to experience a synchronistic moment or two on our upcoming free introductory teleclasses. See "Teleclass Schedule" for more details!

Quotation of the Month
The Breeze at Dawn Has Secrets to Tell You
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the door sill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open..
Don't go back to sleep
- Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273), translated by Coleman Barks)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
 You do not have to leave the room.
Remain standing in your place and listen.
Do not even listen, simply wait.
Do not even wait.
Be quiet, still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you.
To be unmasked.
It has no choice.
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
-Franz Kafka

Animal of the Month
Water
The following passages are from Ted Andrews' Animal-Speak: The spiritual & magical powers of creatures great & small:
"Water is always significant. It is the primal life source. Many myths and scriptures speak of how all life sprang from the seas. The ocean is a symbol of womb, mother, and woman.
Ocean, and water in general, is a dynamic force. It is constantly in transition, and it can reflect the same within your life. The totems of it can reveal how best to work with those transitions. The ocean is also the sum total of possibilities.
The ocean and great seas are symbols of the subconscious mind and even the unconscious mind. Totems tied to them can help us to awaken the deeper levels of the mind. Water reflects our spiritual life and our emotions. The quality and activity of the water in seas, oceans, and rivers will reveal much about these aspects of ourselves.

"Prepare to DIE so that you may live!"
In the East and the West, an ancient legend speaks of a 3rd key to be revealed at the shift of the age, a key powerful enough to unlock the mystery and to give the universal mind a safe way to die! Yet what was the third key and when will it be found? Awaited with great anticipation, that key was prophesized to open a path so intuitively sound that it would permit not only for a few highly evoloved individuals to get to the 'other side,' but also for the collective. Come and walk in with us: join us on the Path of XPR for an introduction where to discover the third key!
Nov. 11 (Wed.) from 12-1 pm EST
Nov. 11 (Wed.) from 8-9 pm EST (Verena co-host)
