No man is an island,

Entire of itself.

Each is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less.

As well as if a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thine own

Or of thine friend's were.

Each man's death diminishes me,

For I am involved in mankind.

Therefore, send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee.

John Donne

From Fearless Future:

Your best future awaits you in this very moment.

It is adventurous to the degree that you are willing to leap beyond your comfort zone and embrace the uncertainty of the future. It will guide you on to new journeys.

It is challenging to the degree that you are resistant to learn and grow from life’s lessons. The future does not cater to the ego-self.

It is exciting to the degree that you are willing to release your confining expectations to a greater wisdom. It will reveal fantastic insights.

Here's a delightful article: How Can I Be Nicer? — By Meredith Bryan
[Try smiling at everyone today!]

I've just been writing about 'connectedness' in my next book. The author put herself through a very meaningful exercise that she writes about in this delight account!

It's not that Meredith Bryan didn't have friends—it's that she wasn't, well, friendly. Until she tore down the fortress she'd built around herself, and the world smiled back.

Einstein's Brain On An iPad? Surprisingly, There's Now An App For That!

AP | By CARLA K. JOHNSON
CHICAGO (AP) — While Albert Einstein's genius isn't included, an exclusive iPad application launched Tuesday promises to make detailed images of his brain more accessible to scientists than ever before...

(What's next...measuring the strength of a thought?")

Here's the article...

Q: I am feeling like something big is on the horizon for all of us. Are you getting any hits lately? I am doing everything I can to stay centered and calm. It seems like things are coming in very clear for me these days. — KJ in CA

A: Thanks for your question, KJ! I applaud your efforts to stay centered and calm. I believe that it’s more crucial than ever to do so, given this particular time in the evolution of our eternal souls.

I received an invitation to return as a guest on the popular national radio show "Coast to Coast" in June. I hadn't been on since my 'appearances' in April (hosted by Bob Lonsberry) and August (with Mike Siegel) in 2000. I’d never been interviewed by George Noory, and was looking forward to having a good time together.

Bringing a client into the present moment can be a challenge. It's more than the need to have their full attention before embarking on our journey together. It's also about getting them out of their heads, diverting them away from left-brain, intellectualized thinking and toward more right brain, intuitive sensing.

A student in my current online Intuition Advancement Series (IAS) forwarded this email to me today. She's a subscriber to Alan Cohen's "Wisdom for Today" (© 2010: www.alancohen.com), and felt that today's message was particularly relevant to our most recent Wednesday evening class.

I had decided to combine two exercises — "Future Fridays" and "The Fish Hook Technique" — following a video and a discussion about the illusion of linear time, and the functionality of learning to go beyond it for very specific and useful purposes.

Here's a fun example of how one must allow future information to unfold in it's own unique way. Try as they might, clients can't come close to estimating (through their limited, logical minds) the meaning of images and symbols that Louise downloads from future moments in their consultations.

A client (now a highly intuitive apprentice!) recently emailed Louise this picture. He reminded her, that in his initial consultation she described a future moment where she was hanging out — merged with his timeless consciousness:

This is a touching story about an FBI agent who saw "legions of angels" guarding the Pennsylvania site where the hijacked airliner crashed on 9/11. It reminded me of an account that I wrote about years ago, one that also involved a plane crash and an FBI agent who trusts the "unseen."

Here is that story from Beyond Boundaries:
