The P'taah Community Forum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We invite you to visit the Community Forum. It is one of the most dynamic parts of the P'taah website. It's fascinating to watch how it ebbs and flows and the variety of opinions expressed there. Of course, the more people who participate, the more exciting it gets.
The Community Forum is open to anyone to read. To post, however, you must register. Registration is a pretty simple process -- choose a screen name and password, give us your email address and you're ready to participate.
We look forward to welcoming you to the many fascinating discussions going on there. Most of all, we hope you'll have fun and enjoy meeting and talking with other like-minded people!

July Conversations with P'taah - A P'taah 101 Review
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
We are very excited about the July session with P'taah. My guest was Chris Fine and we decided this would be a good time to do a review of the basic P'taah teachings.
It turned into a wonderful session. On Track 1, P'taah spent a lot of time on the 'fours' - the Four Basic Fears, the Four Keys to Transforming Fear, and the Four Steps to Embracement. We then talked on Track 2 about Responsibility -- what is is and what it is not -- and how if you don't take responsibility for your life, you are forever a victim.
On Track 3 P'taah talked about how to consciously connect to your higher self. He reminded us you are never not connected, but most of the time we are completely unaware of that connection. And Track 4 brings it back to the thank you's and how we create abundance.
This session is now available on the
website as either a CD or MP3 file and includes these tracks:
T1-Four Basic Fears/Four Keys to Transforming Fear/Four Steps to Embracement
T2-What Responsibility Is and Is Not
T3-How to Consciously Connect to Your Higher Self
T4-Thank You & Abundance
People who wonder if there's any 'new' P'taah material should really check out Conversations. The quality is excellent and both the questions and P'taah's answers are consistently relevant and interesting. |

Calling Light Source P'taah
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A reminder that we let our toll-free number go because we continued to get mostly wrong numbers.
We're still available by phone from anywhere in the world on our regular number, 1-760-366-0375, or you can use the Contact Us form on the website. We expect this change will cause very little hardship as most people email us or order online.

| MP3 Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do remember that you must have an MP3 player on your computer, or be willing to download a free one like iTunes, in order to listen to MP3 files.
MP3 files that contain the equivalent of 2 CDs, or that have multiple tracks, are sent as zip files. Once the zip file has been downloaded to your desktop, you will need to double-click it to unzip and enjoy. If that doesn't work, let us know. We're on a Mac and while we can't duplicate the problems people on PCs encounter, we have friends on PCs who can do it for us.
The other thing to remember about MP3 files is that they're large. If you have a dial-up connection, they can take a very long time to download and you might be better off ordering the CD.
Whichever way you, choose, we know that listening to P'taah's wisdom always brings incredible benefits.

| Message from P'taah
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Q: P'taah, I went through many years of drug addiction and self-hatred and pain and I also was in a hospital for severe depression, which I lived through. I came out the other side and I'm still longing and seeking for love. And what can you help us with, for those of us that have been through this type of life, of that kind of experience -- depression, loneliness, striving to come alive again, striving to feel whole again -- what can you offer us and help us to come to this sense of wholeness?
P'taah: All right, the first thing we would say, you know, is this addiction business. It is created out of the terror of not being enough. It is created out of the terror of the world around you and because you feel so separate, is it not?
Q: Yes, it is.
P'taah: And what creates the depression is the absence of hope that you can ever change it. Would you agree with that?
Q: Yes, I would.
P'taah: All right. And so the first thing is to make the choice for transformation. When you can say, "I create my own reality absolutely," and when you look back now at your life, you can see the choices you made to create your day-by-day reality, is that right?
Q: Yes.
P'taah: So the first thing is to say, "I want to change." You do not need to know how at that moment. The point is only that you earnestly desire change.
And you know, the extraordinary thing is that when you really, truly, fervently desire change, the universe listens because you are not separate. The unified field of consciousness listens. It is attracted to the yearning, to, in a way, the passion of feeling. Now whether that is constructive or destructive, the universe is drawn, the energy is drawn. You understand?
Q: Yes, I do.
P'taah: So that, as you desire change, then indeed things will begin to occur which become opportunities to realize change, even if it is really minute in the first instance. One of the ways that is most conducive -- we are jumping a little forward here -- when you have decided to change and you start to make steps day-by-day for transformation, one of the things that is very, very helpful to you is nature. Now, we say this because the ultimate truth of you is that you are a miracle of creation. Each one of you is a profound and awesome miracle of creation.
You do not stand alone in your plane of reality. You are surrounded not only by billions of other miracles of creation called 'human', you are also surrounded by miracles of creation, not separate from you really, called flora and fauna. And there are two things here -- where it is that you can step forth to be of assistance to another piece of creation -- flora, fauna or human, then indeed, in a way, you are acknowledging this miracle and you are being in compassion, you are being in awareness. What you are doing is being Goddess-God stepping forth in love, really.
That is the first thing - to look, to assist, other people or other creatures, just quietly. We are not speaking of any grand thing and it is not about being seen to be charitable or anything like that. Rather it is to acknowledge your part in the scheme of things, that you are all interdependent in your existence.
The other is to say thanks for every opportunity to know about love and to say thanks for every opportunity to recognize the other miracles of nature, the miracles of beingness, in other people and other species, wherever you see it. Where possible to spend more time in nature, then indeed these miracles are in front of your very eyes at all times. Sometimes in very large cities it can be a little difficult but even in very large cities there are still trees and there are still plants. Even if they are in pots, not in earth, they are still growing miracles.
So, once you have decided for transformation, then indeed it kind of unfolds, and whereas you are still looking for this connectedness, what we say to you is, you are just simply not being aware of 'what is'. The connectedness is all about you. And when you sit and really take note of how interdependent you are -- human, flora, fauna, your planet, etc. -- how you are here, in a way, as guardians of the planet to take care of, to nurture, to be in the joy and wonderment of nature, then indeed you are creating a shift of paradigm and you are creating the bonds of this connectedness in awareness. Does that make sense to you?
Q: Yes, it does. Thank you, P'taah.
P'taah: All right, beloved, we will continue this later, meanwhile, sufficient unto the time for this day. So, until our next Now together, we issue forth, with grandest love,
Namaste.
P'taah
