Greetings!,
This month we've been busy. If you visit our website, you'll notice that we've revamped our subscription pricing for Conversations with P'taah. In most cases, prices are lower.
This
series is one of our personal favorites. Each month we record an
international call with P'taah. On the call we discuss just about anything you could
imagine and one or two things you may not have imagined! Over the years I think have listened to more P'taah
material than anyone else on the planet, so I'm always surprised each month when I hear something I had not really thought about before.
Also, for those of us who don't want to commit, we're making it easier to have the current Conversation with P'taah
MP3 delivered to your Inbox every month. Read about our new Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions. Now it's really easy for you to keep up with the latest P'taah information.
And
just to whet your appetite, we're in the planning stages for a series
of online workshops with P'taah. There are some issues to work out,
but the sessions could begin as early
as October 2010. Watch for more information next month.
Keep an eye out, too, for information on a series of workshops that Jani and P'taah are planning for Spring 2011 in Europe. As dates and events are finalized, you will find the information here.
With much love,

July 2010 Conversation - Burning Questions with Nelly Cartier
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  During our July Conversations, P'taah answered most of the last batch of Burning Questions received from both subscribers and those of you who read the newsletter.
Of course, I think all of the sessions are of enormous value, but I really loved the things that P'taah covered during this Conversation.
The tracks are:
T1-Resonating with Your Spiritual Teacher. While Truth is universal, different people are attracted to the way that different teachers present that truth.
T2-Reconciling P'taah's teachings with a Muslim or other heritage.
T3-Power of Pyramids / Building with Sound. P'taah talks about pyramids and how they have universally been used to do more than sharpen razor blades and keep food fresh. He says the giant pyramids were indeed built with thought and sound and that sound is still used today in some parts of India to move large stones.
T4-"Take me away. I hate being here on this planet." P'taah gives a very moving explanation to a young man about how our being here at this time is our choice and why it is so important both to us and to our planet.
T5-When we move to 5th density, will we no longer experience ego? / 'Fragmented' consciousness & Shamanic healing / Time traveling to visit a loved one who has passed away
It's our experience that each of these sessions contains something of value for everyone. The most interesting part is how often when you re-listen, you hear something you completely missed the first time.
You can order this and the other previous sessions either as CDs or MP3 files on our website. We continue to offer a 10% discount on the current session. Also check out our new Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions below.

Just be aware that these questions are for Conversations with P'taah. To be used, questions must be of a general nature
and of interest to our subscribers. If you have a specific question you
want to ask P'taah, we suggest that you consider a Personal Session or
taking part in an Ask P'taah! mini-session instead.

Pay-As-You-Go Subscriptions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 We know that some of you, for whatever reason, don't want to actually subscribe to Conversations although you would love to get the MP3 file every month.
For you we have designed a new Pay-As-You-Go subscription service. Every month we will send the latest Conversation with P'taah MP3 to your Inbox and charge your credit card at your subscription rate for just that one session.
Even better, until the end of September, your introductory rate will $5 per month. That is equivalent to our lowest MP3 subscription rate and is usually only offered to renewing annual cutomers.
Once you start a Pay-As-You-Go subscription, your low rate is guaranteed, although you certainly have the option of canceling at any time.
At the end of September, the introductory rate will end and this service will be available at the regular price of $6 per month. Even that is lower than the regular cost to buy each session individually during the month it's issued.

Jani and P'taah are planning several European events in Spring 2011.
The schedule tentatively includes Germany, England and Malta and will probably begin in early June.
Watch here for dates, cities and more details about the workshops themselves.

| Personal Sessions with P'taah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Jani and P'taah are usually available for personal session weekdays mornings at 8:00 am, Jani's time. She's located in Queensland, Australia in the same time zone as Brisbane.
If you're interested in a personal session with P'taah, please contact us by email or by telephone to arrange it. Sessions can last up to an hour. The cost is $150.
We also offer Ask P'taah! mini-sessions where 3 or 4 people can share a session. Each person will usually have 15-20 minutes to talk with P'taah. The cost of an Ask P'taah! mini-session is US$35. We call you via Skype, so there are no phone charges, and an MP3 recording of your session is included.
You can convert Jani's time to your local time here at the worldclock website.

P'taah's Message for August 2010~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  "Q1: We who live in the city are permanently exposed to an overload of impulses, be it the noise in the street or lots of people surrounding us. Many people feel like their energy is being drawn away from them. How can they change this for themselves?
P'taah: By focus. You know you are not victims of anything. And of course, where there are many, many peoples living closely in a city situation, the cacophony of sound, of energy, is huge. And so you see that there is also the dis-easement created from stress, from the feeling that there is no time, from the feeling of being in imminent failure of not being enough, to be able to sustain, etc.
So, it is necessary, as you become aware of this, to create in your life, on a daily basis, a time where you may be still. Where you may consciously turn the focus inward, or indeed turn the focus to that which is beyond this frenetic frequency, to peace and calm and tranquility. To make an effort as often as possible, to be away from the crowd of peoples. To be in nature. To say thank you for the nature. To be connected by the thank you's.
And again you may use music and color in your home to assist you in your time of meditation, or just simply relaxation. We are not speaking that you must put yourself into an altered state of consciousness even, but that you would make a conscious choice to relax the body and the mind, to be peaceful and tranquil, to listen to nice music, or to do that which is peaceful and calming in any way you see fit.
The point we are saying is just to recognize the stress which accompanies this constant barrage of energy and to say, "Now I have time for me to close off, to close myself off from this cacophony, to be still, to replenish and to refresh myself.
Q1: Like in a meditation?
P'taah: However.
Q1: Okay, thank you.
Q2: I'd like to go in a slightly different direction here. When you talk about being in a city or being anywhere where there are a lot of people, you have to deal with the mass consciousness. I had to go to see my doctor yesterday because I had run out of a medication. He's a new doctor that I had not seen before. We got into a very long discussion about hormone therapy for older woman, which got me to thinking that getting older certainly is not a disease state.
P'taah: Not at all.
Q2: As a matter of fact, getting older is definitely something that most people would prefer to have happen. Yet it's like certain functions, especially for women with their hormones, cease to function and now many women are replenishing those with the artificial ones.
P'taah: Indeed, but you know, beloved, also it's interesting to contemplate this. The body, indeed, the chemical balance of the body, does change, especially for woman. In times gone by, this was considered a normal and natural thing.
One of the reasons that it is not a normal and natural thing these days is because it is a reminder of age. And in your society, no matter how you personally may think of it, each of you is struggling to remain young. To look young, to feel young, to be perceived as young, or as young as possible, we would say. And so, much of this medication is for this function. You understand? It is because of the judgment around becoming old.
Q2: Yes, and I understand that, however --
P'taah: We are speaking of a broader picture here and not to get into the individual story about, "Oh yes, but my body is doing this and my body is reacting in this way which is not comfortable." Well, of course not, but again --
Q2: Yes, I want to feel good and I want to have the energy that I had 20 years ago. (Laughs)
P'taah: Indeed, indeed.
Q2: If I could make that happen, I would.
P'taah: Indeed, beloved, but you see, your body is perfect that it is.
Q2: That's true.
P'taah: You see? So it is to look at both sides of this.
Q2: Yes, (laughing) and I'll probably keep taking little pink tablets.
P'taah Indeed, and this is perfectly valid. After all, that is why the humanities have developed what is called medicine.
Q2: Well, when we lived hundreds of years, how did we function? The body couldn't have gotten progressively more creaky and more cranky because then who'd have wanted to live 800 years?
P'taah: Indeed, it is so. The whole construct of the body, in a way, the whole chemistry of the body, was different. The consciousness was different. The consciousness was not really of this frequency.
Q2: Which frequency?
P'taah: The frequency that you exist in now.
Q2: Oh, okay.
Q1: (laughing): This brings me to the next question, because in our striving for perfection in nature, we --
P'taah: You see, there is that word, beloved. 'Striving' for perfection. Nature does not strive. It simply is.
Q1: Yes.
P'taah: And it is in its perfection. You know the flowers do not strive to be beautiful. They simply are. They do not strive to exist even. They simply exist in the nowness of however it is without any judgment of perfection or not perfection.
Q1: Yes, the problem is that --
P'taah: The striving denotes the idea that you feel that you are not perfect. After all, you have had many thousand of years that being told that you are not perfect.
Q1: Yes, that is something which is quite hard to get over.
P'taah: Well, you know, that is all right. Just recognize it when the thoughts come up. Recognize it for what it is. It is not a truth. It is not a greater truth.
Q1: Yes, which brings up another question. We have more and more genetically modified food available in our shops. Here in my country there is a big discussion going on since nobody wants any of that stuff for dinner. Also once you bring genetically modified crops out in any field, all the plants surrounding them will be affected since modified genes spread everywhere. Could you comment on that? Could you say that if there is a possibility to, I don't know, change something about that?
P'taah: We would say to you that there are two things to look at here. One is that everything is in its perfection. Indeed, this idea called 'genetic modification' brings about certain change. And in a way, in this reality, in this possibility, it has already been set into motion, so to speak.
There is a possibility, but not a probability, of a reversal. In terms of the health and well-being of humankind, it is to know that you, as a consciousness, say you as humankind as a consciousness, are beyond what is called the effects of genetic modification.
Q2: P'taah, what do you mean by that, please?
P'taah: You -- you see this is quite, in a way, difficult because we are looking here at probability and possibility as fields of reality. Humankind will not in probability be negatively affected by genetic modification of the flora because this genetic modification will set in place other reactions to combat that which could effectively be termed harmful.
It is not really to the benefit that this has been developed, but it has been developed. So then it is to look at what are the options. What are the possibilities and probabilities? We say that the probability is that over the generations, other changes, other discoveries, in a way, expansion, will occur which will nullify any negative effect of genetic modification. However, in this moment, we say that, where you may eat foods which have been not tampered with, then that is good. But we would say, do not panic, because there are many cases where you do not know.
Q2: Yes,
P'taah: You cannot know.
Q1: Yes.
P'taah: So it is only still to be in the gratitude for your nourishment, hmmm?
Q2: You've said that when you are in the gratitude for your nourishment and you bless your food, you change the molecular structure.
P'taah: That is correct.
Q2: Through your consciousness.
P'taah: Indeed.
Q2: One of the scary things about the genetic manipulation of food is that, in nature, there are so many different kinds of say wheat or grains or whatever so that--
P'taah: Indeed, what is occurring is that the most grand and wondrous diversity of nature in which each particle of diversity is of assistance to every other life form, that is changing and diminishing the life form.
Q2: And I read somewhere, too, that each different kind is resistant to different things. This means that if one crop is decimated by something, there is another very similar seed that will survive. But the way we're going, something could come and wipe out virtually the entire wheat crop of the world.
P'taah: Indeed. That is what we are speaking of in terms of possibility and probability.
Q2: Ah, so you are not talking about necessarily affecting our physical health by eating it, but what it is going to do to the planet, should there be that kind of an occurrence?
P'taah: This is correct.
Q2: Ah, big difference, Okay. I was hearing it a little differently.
P'taah: Well, also about the health and well-being of the humanities. Your health and well-being is most beautifully sustained in this diversity of nature. However, in the last 100 of your years, and in fact longer, you have been on the rampage to destroy your planet, in the greed and the fear of lack. So this is, indeed, in a way, just another step along the way. But we said the probability is not doom and gloom.
Q2: Oh, that's very good to know, actually. (Laughing) Thank you, P'taah, I feel a lot better already!
P'taah: Very good, my beloved ones. We will take a little break here until next time so you can, so to speak, digest all of this. (Laughter)
We love you grandly and it is with that great love that we issue forth to you both, and to all,
Namaste."
P'taah
