High Mesa Happenings & Heartstrings

Gifts to Juarez

Several weeks ago Kathy Golightly gave us some tapes to gift to others on the Course of Miracles. Then we received all these books and tapes from a friend in High Rolls--what to do with all these tapes--everyone seems to have only CDs these days. Well, my prayers were answered last week when this lady came in from Juarez, Mexico and I offered the tapes to her. She left here so happy for there is a Course of Miracles group in Juarez who would be so happy to have them. It not only warmed my heart to know that they are in the right place to do the right thing, it also warmed the gifters knowing that they carry the energy into Juarez.

Healing Trauma: Transform Wounds into Wisdom

In the global spirit of change, your new spirit can be emerging. You can come to grips with the trauma and legacy of the past to heal and transform your life. We all have the secondary trauma of living in a violent world and we can use body, mind and spirit practices to heal and renew our energy. We will be taking a popular educational approach to healing trauma. Taking from a wide array of proven modalities and procedures, this class will give you the tools to transform trauma into health and wholeness. Some of the common, tried and true methods are Tai Chi, acupressure, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), polarity, energetic healing and more. Please wear comfortable loose clothing that allows freedom of movement.

 

 

A Spiritual Conspiracy

Thank you J. and S. D., friends of HMHC, for taking the time to share the following reflection.

 

A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground.
An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called to a higher light. It is a silent revolution. From the inside out. From the ground up. This is a Global operation. A Spiritual Conspiracy.

There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet. You won’t see us on the T.V. You won’t read about us in the newspaper. You won’t hear about us on the radio. We don’t seek any glory. We don’t wear any uniform. We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles. Most of us work anonymously. We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and culture of the world, cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands. You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice. We go undercover. We remain behind the scenes. It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit, but simply that the work gets done. Occasionally we spot each other on the street. We give a quiet nod and continue on our way. During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs. But behind the false storefront is where the real work takes place.

Some call us the Conscious Army. We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and hearts. We follow, with passion and joy, our orders which come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence. We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking ... poems ... hugs ... music ... photography ... movies ... kind words ... smiles ... meditation and prayer ... dance ... social activism ... websites ... blogs ... random act of kindness. We each express ourselves in our unique ways with our own unique gifts and talents.

Be the change you want to see in the world! That is the motto that fills our hearts. We know it is the only way real transformation takes place. We know that quietly and humbly we have the power of all the oceans combined. Our work is slow and meticulous. Like the formation of mountains, it is not even visible at first glance, and yet with it entire tectonic plates shall be moved in the centuries to come.

Love is the new religion of the 21st century. You don’t have to be a highly educated person or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it. It comes from the intelligence of the heart, embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings.

Be the change you want to see in the world! Nobody else can do it for you. We are now
recruiting. Perhaps you will join us or already have. All are welcome. The door is open.

Be Kinder than Necessary

Thank you Peter S.,  friend of HMHC, for sending  us this message:

 

 Fish Story

A guy who lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate.

It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had
obviously tried to swallow a basketball which
became stuck in its mouth!!

The fish was totally exhausted from trying to
dive, but unable to because the ball would
always bring him back up to the surface.
The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out,
but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut
the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry
catfish.
You probably wouldn't believed this, if you couldn’t see the following pictures...

　

Be kinder than necessary. 'Cause everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Peace Village at HMHC

  

Peace Village is an “experiment in peace education,” structured in day-camps, after- school programs and teen curriculum, and adult workshops. Participants in a Peace Village project “promote the practice of nonviolence, the value of seeing [them]selves in one another, and the importance of being a peaceful presence.”

High Mesa Healing Center is proud to host the

Sixth Annual Kid’s Camp Peace Village of 2009.

  Planning for the Peace Village Camp at HMHC has been underway since last November; however Co-Directors, Kaylah Glasgow and Susan Finch work year round; November is when a core of volunteers start to meet monthly with the Co-Directors to help with this tremendous task of creating a week-long day camp: there is the curriculum to review and update; teaching materials to inventory and supply; snacks and lunches to oversee; brochures, application and donation letters to draft and send; traffic coordination, transportation to off-campus activities, AGL interviewing and training, and so forth.

The camp participants are children of 7-13 years of age, divided into 3 age groups; each age group has several Age Group Leaders who work with them and the teachers.

AGL are teens who demonstrate enthusiasm, leadership, responsibility and dedication to the mission of promoting non-violence, who show respect and care for all people and the environment, who inspire their younger peers.

Teachers at Peace Village Camp are school teachers, administrators and parents; some are HMHC Colleagues and Practitioners, others storytellers, musicians, environmentalists. They each bring particular knowledge and talents; they all live in the spirit of the Peace Village Mission.

The Curriculum includes non-violent conflict resolution strategies, music, art, meditation, multicultural and interfaith wisdom capsules, storytelling, nature walks, and peaceful self-empowerment tools. The camp will have an off-day at Angus Outdoor Education, filled with activities such as Animal Track, Brutal Gourmet, Forest Birds, Orienteering, and such.

 Peace Village Camp at HMHC is an amazing opportunity for kids and teens to learn to work together, to play together, to accept differences and to resolve conflicts with a peaceful intention. Peace Village Camp at HMHC is an incredible opportunity for adults to demonstrate that cooperation and community life involvement bring understanding among various cultures and creeds and thus, bring Peace.

Kudos to all involved in this project!

HMHC would like to thank everyone of Peace Village of Ruidoso for the opportunity to open its Campus to the project.

Peace Village at HMHC runs from July 27 to July 31, 9:00am-3:30pm.

For info, donations and participation, contact Kaylah Glasgow or Susan Finch, Co-Directors.

Kids and Nature

Summer is here. Kids are home or grandchildren come and visit. 

There is now a new condition affecting our youth, and along a label for it: Nature Deficient Disorder. Click the link to find a NPR report and a book about this ailment.

Then, Nature lovers ! do with kids what you love to do yourself: go to a water park, go camping, find your favorite outdoor spot to read them nature and animal stories, draw and invent with them new flowers, animals, trees, places, etc. Just about anything that will inspire budding botanists!

And never mind that special bond and awe you inspire!

Wind turbines near Aalborg, Denmark

A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, wind power unit (WPU), wind energy converter (WEC), or aerogenerator.

Can you help?

Boyd and Kelly of

The Ultimate Gift Foundation and 7 Rays ranch project

are calling on friends of HMHC to help them find new lodgings. Please take a minute to read Boyd's letter below.

 Thank you for contacting Boyd or Kelly by phone (number appears at the end of the letter below) if you have a home that needs care or if you know of someone who does.

 

"Dear Friends in Ruidoso and Alto,

Kelly and I and Squeeky Boy will complete our residence contract, around June 15th, at the Truitt residence in Copper Canyon.

It has been a marvelous 7 months and we are very appreciative for this opportunity.

We are once again open to the services of house sitting/care taking for someone's home and property in exchange for rent or for a small donation of rent on our part.

This allows us to spend our own time and resources on the reason we are here, to build the Ultimate Gift Foundation and 7 Rays Ranch project from the ground up.

We have had a wonderful experience in Ruidoso and certainly wish to continue our project here.

I am writing to you for you prayers and for your help if you know of anyone who has a vacant home or in need of our special services in exchange for rent.

During the past five years we have provided these services for several home both in Arizona and for two in Ruidoso, the most current here in beautiful Copper Canyon.

Our moving date is coming soon so if you can help or forward this request to a friend we would be most appreciative.

Besides doing general maintenance and providing security for the home, we now have some training with horses.

We can do basic horse caring skilles some as feeding, cleaning and mucking stalls, AG lime, grooming and cleaning hooves. We are not experts yet but are training at Ruidoso Equine three days a week for the past 7 weeks.

So friends, thanks for your help and please don't hesitate to call or "reply' back to us.

We have lots of references for anyone who asks.

Blessings

Boyd, Kelly and Squeeky Boy"
