A MESSAGE FROM
BILL BAUMAN 

Group in Cambodia

 
What a Sacred Sites Trip!
 
For two glorious weeks this past month, 43 of us glided through numerous Buddhist temples in Thailand, cruised the Golden Triangle's Mekong River into Laos, rode elegant elephants in the Thai jungles, witnessed the present day sacredness of Angkor Wat's ancient Hindu temples in Cambodia, and were filled daily with the Buddha's resplendent blessings and light--all as we experienced the joy of our recent Sacred Sites of Buddhism journey.
 
I want you to know that, while those of us who were present in these Asian countries that are so rich in Buddhist presence and tradition experienced numerous blessings, transformations and awakenings from the Buddha, so did you! It was clear to me that the awakening of "the inner Buddha" that we all experienced had its strong inner effect in each of you who are connected with us in any way--"as with us, so with you!" So, from our heart to yours, from our souls to yours, thank you for participating so powerfully with us and for the strong spiritual presence that you were on this sacred journey.
 
If I may have the privilege of translating this precious blessing of the Buddha into words to you, I want to say it to you this way: May the blessings of this precious trip be yours forever! May your own Buddhic nature--your vast spiritual light, your innately awakened state and your heart's pure love--be an ever deepening, ever inspiring and ever miraculous quality of aliveness in your life! And may your inner Buddha bless your life in wondrous ways every day! We love you!

 

 

We invite you to enjoy

Buddha 3 
by 
 Bill Bauman 

In Bill's new book, SOUL VISION: A MODERN MYSTIC LOOKS AT LIFE THROUGH THE EYES OF THE SOUL, he gives us a remarkably vast picture of the many dimensions in which we live and a compelling invitation to dwell fully in our expansiveness. 
 
Bill shares his unique vision of the very nature of creation itself--its essence, light, energy and consciousness--and shows us refreshing ways to participate in its vastness and possibilities. 
 
We believe that Bill Bauman's visionary perspective will inspire you to step fully into the unlimited self you were created to be. He offers it to you with deep devotion and personal wishes that it be a profound blessing in your life.
 
The price of the book is $20.00, plus a $4.00 S/H fee, and you may purchase it from CSL by check or credit card.

CSL's Weekend Seminars Update
 
CSL's first
weekend
seminars of 2009 were truly inspiring and transformational experiences, and a profound blessing for the 130 people who gathered in both San Diego (in February) and Austin (in March). The joys and blessings of our loving community were shared with old friends and many new ones as well. All of us who joined with Bill Bauman's leadership co-created a sacred time of deep awakening, precious healing and touching inspriation. 
 
We feel called to welcome new people to our soulful community--and we do so with excitement and anticipation. Please feel free to extend your own welcome to any family members and/or friends who you feel may be open to sample our offerings and community.
 
Our next weekend seminar will be held in New York City on April 18-19. For information or to register, please contact Donna Maraldo at 610-274-8209 or donnammaraldo@yahoo.com.
 
 
 

Immersion in Mysticism

 "Living the Mystery and Magic 
 of the Mystical"
 
We have had a wonderful response to our newest offering and are looking forward to its beginning  in May.  Registration continues for our Mysticism program, led by Bill Bauman, and designed for persons whose nature is more mystical, being-based or oneness-oriented.  This innovative program will initiate us into the expansive ways in which the mystical realm can become a powerful source for our healing, growth and fullness.
 
If you are interested in this exciting program, please contact Elinor Hall at elinor@aboutcsl.com
 or 435-656-2783; or visit our web site:
