Greetings!
 Greetings!
We've been basking in a magnificent Indian Summer here in Colorado. W arm, brilliant days and cool, crisp evenings are a reminder of how much pleasure can be found in contrast. I trust wherever you are, there is delight in each moment as Nature takes her course and surrounds you with her quiet beauty.
We celebrate Thanksgiving this month -- one of my favorite holidays for those colorful, sensual and satisfying aspects -- food, family and friends all gathered together.
I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your contributions to the ISSSEEM community. I am looking forward to more and more member involvement in the coming year -- 'we ARE who we've been waiting for and together we can be the change we wish to see' -- as a hybrid of two profound sayings might go.
I encourage you to take advantage of the many benefits of your membership. Have you created your Member Profile on line? It's searchable by other members and offers an opportunity to share more about yourself. Would you be interested in participating in an Independent Exploration Group in your area? Reply with your inquiry email and we will let you know what is in your region or interest area. As a member, you are also invited to contribute articles to the Journal or Bridges. And, please visit our new Community Forum -- it's just waiting for your infusion of thought and energy to grow and expand.
I hope you enjoy the new look and format to this eSEEM newsletter. This is your newsletter. Contributions are welcomed and considered. Call our office or email us anytime.
With 'Great-Full' holiday blessings to you and yours.

Board of Directors' Fall Retreat
 The ISSSEEM Board of Directors met for three days to talk about and plan the future of ISSSEEM. We held our meeting at the Westminster Westin, in part to find out first-hand how we anticipate our Annual Conference participants will enjoy it next June. It passed with flying colors! We loved the spaciousness, the ambiance, the staff's courtesy, the walking trails, the access to walking-distance shops and restaurants, and the wonderful meeting spaces!
More importantly, our work produced exceptional clarity and alignment of goals for ISSSEEM. The involvement and insights of our newest board members, Claude Swanson, Gilah Hirsch, Lynn VanBuren and Lilly Coniglio, contributed fresh, perspective, and innovative ideas. The wisdom of our plank-holders provided strong continuity and context. Together, we could see our bright future! Together we developed a practical handful of goals and strategies for immediate focus, including development of resources, attracting salient and leading-edge programming and publications, and implementing ways of reaching and communicating with our expanding and developing audiences. We're refining our plans, and look forward to sharing them with everyone soon!

Focused Intention
What, specifically, do you do to focus intention for the unfolding of the highest good for you personally and/or in your practice?
Following are some of your responses. Please send yours to INTENTION
* I work on myself to establish trust that the highest good is always unfolding whether I can perceive logic or like in a situation or not. I do this through meditation, living in the now, practicing compassion and remembering that I cannot know everything but I can be part of everything. I work to disable my pain body as it arises and to cultivate inner peace at all times. When I become aware that inner peace is not present I stop and make it present again. In this state I am aware that only the unfolding of highest good is possible.
I believe that intention needs to be ACTION in the physical world and that one is kidding oneself to send thoughts of highest good out whilst not work on cultivating the highest good in oneself. Cultivating the highest good in oneself requires work. The irony is that once this work is in place the unfolding of the highest good is not an intention that requires focus it is just a reality that I am able to enter.
Prior to undertanding what I do now I would hope, pray and visualise highest good in whatever shape or form it wanted to unfold in.
Zoe Alexander
* I found that my personality projections of "good" were actually limitations imposing denial upon the miracle at hand. When I step back in gratitude and surrender to the unfolding process, and have joyful faith in the perfect outcome of universal principles being applied, I get to watch and enjoy the miracle. Rejoicing in the moment's revelations helps the other perceive and receive the miraculous transformation.
In my healing practice that often is exemplified by saying "Great!" when someone presents a new symptom. A new symptom is just a new state of consciousness that reveals process and greater understanding to see the limitation we have placed upon ourselves. The belief system creating in perfect process the manifest condition we assign "bad" to is revealed as a symptom and we now have the opportunity to alter our generation of consciousness to create a different state of thinking, feeling, and doing.
One example: Rigid thoughts make for rigid tissues. If you have lost the elasticity of your cardiovascular tissue, what do you believe that causes you to harden your emotional expression (heart) and sharing love with all (blood vessels) in all situations (adrenals)?
If you have lost the flexibility of your joints what is the belief you hold limiting your movement in consciousness? Anger, resentment, frustration and indecision from not knowing what to do? (hepatic functions)
Symptoms reveal held states of consciousness. Focus upon what you want to create, observe how it functions, rejoice in your awareness and surrender to the unfolding process and move on. (See, feel, become, and let it go.)
If you want health, concentrate upon what is easy or ease producing with these steps. If you want illness concentrate upon your dis-ease. The process of creating each each is the same.
As I replace my "dis-ease" in my life that I observe echoed in my clients, they simultaneously get well, as this give them the empowering permission and support to replace their disease with ease. Or as Jesus said: "Physician, heal thy self."
All healing is Self healing,

11 Days at the Edge: One Man's Journey into Evolutionary Enlightenment - by Michael Wombacher
Here's a quote I'd like to share with you from Michael Wombacher's recently released book 11 Days at the Edge, which is about being on an Evolutionary Enlightenment retreat with Andrew Cohen:
"Andrew set the tone for the retreat by asking the 300 or so seekers from around the world to consider what it means to 'let everything be as it is.' The contemplation of and meditation on this quickly led to one of the most profound recognitions of Truth that I have ever experienced.
"I discovered that resistance of any kind to the experience of life, inner and outer, as it is, creates the painful illusion of a separate self that then has to struggle for its own existence against the onslaught of forces beyond its control.
"Simply relinquishing this position results in the overwhelming discovery that one never actually existed as the person one thought one was, a discovery that is simultaneously unsettling and liberating.
"In that recognition all boundaries disappear, as one's self-sense expands infinitely in all directions...
That excerpt is from the prologue of the book. It is powerful and moving. If you'd like a more substantial preview, you can download the first 37 pages by clicking on the book above.

 From Linda Block comes a recommendation
A sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights - the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners - Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. 'I came to Italy pinched and thin,' she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise 'betwixt and between' realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry - conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor - as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression.

 Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melodie Beatty
