OPENING LETTER
Hello Everyone,
This is a difficult time for our country, really the whole world, and
mostly for the individuals directly devastated by this senseless act
of terrorism we have all just witnessed. Our hearts go out to everyone.
Our prayers are needed. Our assistance too. This is a great challenge
to our humanity. It is a moment that begins a great transformation.
In the end, if we and our leaders make enlightened responses, this will
prove to be a decisive moment and opportunity to heal our planet and
greatly raise the level of love that unites us all. Our world beckons
to be brought together into greater wholeness and recognition of
our oneness. We have been sleeping too long. The time has come to
resolve the conflicts of the world so that every single human being on
this planet can enjoy the kind of freedom, democracy and wealth that
we here in the USA have come to know and cherish.
I think those responsible for acts of terrorism need to be
held accountable and brought to justice according to international
law. Equally so, we need to resolve the problems in the Mid-East,
Ireland, Africa, and all such places where people feel angered, unheard,
and in great need of assistance and human dignity.
We set our minds to sending men to the moon, we can set our minds
to bringing about world peace, now, in this generation. I encourage
everyone to ask more of themselves, and their leaders, to make it so.
I am dedicating this months entire newsletter to writings and information
relating to the events of September 11th. Below I will include a few of the
many emails I have received relating to this tragedy. My hope is that these
dark days will lead to greater enlightenment and peace on our earth.
For now, peace be with you, and may peace be with all our brothers
and sisters on this planet who are in deep pain and suffering, no matter
what their beliefs, religions, or nationalities. And may all of us, especially
our leaders be enlightened on how to best deal with those brothers and
sisters whom have closed their hearts and souls to love and peace.

WAYS TO HELP:
In the light of yesterday's tragedy, it's impossible to think of today
as "business as usual". We are all suffering as a result of the terrorist
attacks. I humbly ask you to join all of us at NCXI in keeping the faith
in the abiding strength of our nation, praying for those who are injured,
lost or in mourning, and also including in your prayers those bearing the
huge burdens of decision making and leadership in the midst of the crisis.
This is a time when we need to pull together as citizens and help out in any
way we can. General information on how to do that is available at the following web site.

This from the man that wrote conversations with God:
Dear Beloved Friends,
Seven Days of Prayer
It took seven to create the world,
we now ask you to join us in spending
the next seven days recreating it.
Wherever you are, join us for the next seven days
"FEELING" this new world and praying it into existence. At 9pm EST, 6pm
west coast time, from September 11 to 18, simply feel the presence of millions
around the world who are praying for all violence to cease. Spend ten minutes
in silence each night knowing that we are creating a new world based upon
the laws of compassion and peace. Once again, please pass this on to
everyone you know.
A Letter from Neale, Marianne, James, James and Doreen:
Dear friends around the world.
The events of this day cause every thinking person to
stop their daily lives, whatever is going on in them, and to ponder deeply the
larger questions of life. We search again for not only the meaning of life,
but the purpose of our individual and collective experience as we have
created it - and we look earnestly for ways in which we might recreate ourselves
anew as a human species, so that we will never treat each other this way
again.
The hour has come for us to demonstrate at the highest
level our most extraordinary thought about Who We Really Are.
There are two possible responses to what has occurred
today. The first comes from love, the second from fear.
If we come from fear we may panic and do things-as
individuals and as nations-that could only cause further damage. If we come
from love we will find refuge and strength, even as we provide it to
others.
This is the moment of your ministry. This is the time of
teaching. What you teach at this time, through your every word and action
right now, will remain as indelible lessons in the hearts and minds of those
whose lives you touch, both now, and for years to come.
We will set the course for tomorrow, today. At this hour.
In this moment. Let us seek not to pinpoint blame, but to pinpoint cause.
Unless we take this time to look at the cause of our
experience, we will never remove ourselves from the experiences it creates.
Instead, we will forever live in fear of retribution from those within the
human family who feel aggrieved, and, likewise, seek retribution from
them.
To us the reasons are clear. We have not learned the
most basic human lessons. We have not remembered the most basic human
truths. We have not understood the most basic spiritual wisdom. In short, we
have not been listening to God, and because we have not, we watch
ourselves do ungodly things.
The message we hear from all sources of truth is clear:
We are all one. That is a message the human race has largely ignored.
Forgetting this truth is the only cause of hatred and war, and the way to remember
is simple: Love, this and every moment.
If we could love even those who have attacked us, and
seek to understand why they have done so, what then would be our response? Yet
if we meet negativity with negativity, rage with rage, attack with
attack, what then will be the outcome?
These are the questions that are placed before the human
race today. They are questions that we have failed to answer for thousands
of years. Failure to answer them now could eliminate the need to answer
them at all.
If we want the beauty of the world that we have
co-created to be experienced by our children and our children's children, we will have
to become spiritual activists right here, right now, and cause that to
happen. We must choose to be at cause in the matter.
So, talk with God today. Ask God for help, for counsel
and advice, for insight and for strength and for inner peace and for deep
wisdom. Ask God on this day to show us how to show up in the world in a way
that will cause the world itself to change. And join all those people around
the world who are praying right now, adding your Light to the Light that
dispels all fear.
That is the challenge that is placed before every
thinking person today. Today the human soul asks the question: What can I do to
preserve the beauty and the wonder of our world and to eliminate the anger
and hatred-and the disparity that inevitably causes it - in that part of the
world which I touch?
Please seek to answer that question today, with all the
magnificence that is You.
What can you do TODAY...this very moment?
A central teaching in most spiritual traditions is: What
you wish to experience, provide for another.
Look to see, now, what it is you wish to experience-in
your own life, and in the world. Then see if there is another for whom you may
be the source of that.
If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for
another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to
know that they are safe.
If you wish to better understand seemingly
incomprehensible things, help
another to better understand.
If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to
heal the sadness or anger of another.
Those others are waiting for you now. They are looking to
you for guidance, for help, for courage, for strength, for understanding,
and for assurance at this hour. Most of all, they are looking to you for love.
We love you, and we send you our deepest thoughts of
peace.
Neale, Marianne, James, James and Doreen

Thank you Jean for sending this in...
AMERICA, THE GOOD NEIGHBOR
Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable
broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
commentator. What follows is the full text of his broadcast.
"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most
generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of
the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying
even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the
streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in
to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes.
Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into
discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about
the decadent, warmongering Americans.
I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the
erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other
country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why
do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the
moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk
about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.
You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon - not
once, but several times - and safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store
window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued
and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are
breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home
to spend here. When the railways of France,* Germany and India were breaking
down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned
them an old caboose. Both are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other
people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to
the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during
the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired
of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with
their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at
the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is
not one of those."
Stand proud, America!
This is one of the best editorials that I have ever read regarding the
United States. It is nice that one man realizes it. I only wish that the
rest of the world would realize it. We are always blamed for everything, and
never even get a thank you for the things we do.
I would hope that each of you would send this to as many people as you can
and emphasize that they should send it to as many of their friends until
this letter is sent to every person on the web. I am just a single American
that has read this, I SURE HOPE THAT A LOT MORE READ IT SOON.
Stand proud, America

Praying For "Senseless" Tragedies - The associate editor of this newsletter was
on the 72nd floor of the World Trade Center when the first plane hit. Thankfully,
prayers were answered, and he, and tens of thousands of others, were able to
escape the building before it exploded killing thousands of less fortunate innocent
victims and over 400 New York emergency firefighters and police.
Please click the link if you would like some assistance in joining me and others in resorting
to the only thing that makes ANY sense of the deadliest terrorist attack ever in the US.

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TO ALL
PEOPLES ON EARTH
Dear All,
The events of this morning prompt me to send out a call for your help, please send
this to everyone you know, let us join hearts and hands and use the Energy of this
situation to turn things around! Mother Mary and The Council of Golden Light talked
about our Country returning to policies that have not been seen for years in our recorded
history, from what I hear on the news, both on the TV and radio suggest that the atmosphere
prevalent is that of retaliation, of war to be waged. Mikiah said to use the Energy, to
divert it, to channel it into a different path. We have the opportunity to do so now.
My dear friend, Leigha Rose Starr and her son Andrew were walking on the beach in
Florida prior to sunrise last Friday morning. The sky was full of clouds. Before the sun rose,
the entire area, the water, the clouds and the sky were filled with a Blue-white Light. She said
it was as if everything were coming into focus. As the sun rose, there was one huge cloud
formation that drew her attention, it was of a male figure, in His left hand, He was holding the
sun, with rays radiating out from it in all directions. Within the figure, from the waist down,
there were storm clouds, completely contained within the figure. Leigha is a wonderful
clairvoyant and more! Her knowingness was that this was a representation of GOD letting
us know that All Darkness is within Him, a part of Him, and that the Light is the ANSWER!
Let us all act from our knowing that ALL IS A PART OF GOD, we are not separate, we
are not light and dark, we are ONE, all of humanity are our brothers and sisters. Let us see
that BLUE-WHITE Light going out to the people of this country, especially those in New
York City and Washington. To the families of those who lost their lives, to the government
officials who HOLD THE POWER TO EITHER LIFT OR DESTROY, to the leaders of this
World that they listen to guidance from Higher Dimensions and act accordingly. To all people
who are reacting in FEAR, to calm those fears and bring calm to the United States and the
World. To the terrorists, who acted upon their 'truth' and gave us a huge WAKE-UP CALL!
We have the opportunity to turn this downward spiral into an upward one, lifting the
consciousness of the World to a new, higher level with the joining of our intention, our Light
and our Love in ONENESS. If you find yourself feeling/reacting in Fear, call forth Love,
first to yourself, and then see WHITE, GOLD, SILVER RAYS; AND VIOLET and
BLUE FLAMEs going from your heart, down your arms, and out your hands into your
surrounding area, and continuing to extend outward until it covers your state/country,
and around the World. If each of us does this we WILL make a difference! If you are
watching the coverage on the TV, send the rays and the flames of transformation to the
images on the screen, knowing that they are reaching the people they represent. Send
Love to especially the broadcasters who have the power to calm or inflame with their
words. Hold the leaders in your heart, fill and surround them in PURE, UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE, that they be led to act from their HIGHER SELVES and not the earth-based ego.
This is the reason we agreed to be here in this time. We are here to make a difference!
To be in but not of this world. Let us bring the essence of heaven into our reality.
Hold the light, hold the peace, hold the love, and let it radiate out into your world
and to all those who are making choices not in the highest and best for all!
Namestkara from my heart to yours,
In Love and Light,
Kathryn

KEEPING ALIGNED, CENTERED AND HEALTHY
I am suggesting in times especially like these, but always,
to make it a practice to take at least 10-20 minutes each day
to pray and meditate. Become aware of your breathing,
clear your head. Get in touch with your body and inner
self. This will help your life tremendously on many levels.
Also, get outside and spend time in nature, walking,
exercising, just enjoying the beauty that surrounds you.
Take time to smell the roses! Hug a family member or friend.
No matter what stresses are going on in our lives or world,
it is important to keep deeply in touch with what brings us
joy and connected to our human-spiritual roots. -- TJL
