~ the present beliefs‏

"The reasons for maladies are almost always present in current life experience - and even though old events from childhood may have originally activated unhealthy behavior, it is the present beliefs that allow old pattern of activity to operate."

~ no matter how depressed‏

"No matter how depressed you may feel, you do still want to live, or you would be dead by now - so there is a part of you that seeks life and vitality, and that portion also deserves expression." The Way Toward Health Session 6/9, Page 265

~ genuine self-pride‏

"Genuine self-pride is the loving recognition of your own integrity and value. True humility is based upon this affectionate regard for yourself, plus the recognition that you live in a universe in which all other beings also possess this undeniable individuality and self-worth. False humility tells you that you are nothing. It often hides a distorted, puffed-up, denied self-pride, because no man or woman can really accept a theory that denies personal self-worth."

~ all the knowledge you need‏

"In normal living and in day-by-day experience, all the knowledge you need is available. You must, however, believe that it is, put yourself in a position to receive it by looking inward and remaining open to your intuitions, and most important, by desiring to receive it."

Seth Speaks

~ structures of sound, light, and electromagnetic properties‏

"You perceive them (our bodies) as objects, with bulk, composed of bone and flesh. They also have structures of sound, light, and electromagnetic properties that you do not perceive."

~ the most concentrated forms of energy‏

"Imagination and emotions are the most concentrated forms of energy that you possess as physical creatures. Any strong emotion carries within it far more energy than, say, that required to send a rocket to the moon. Emotions, instead of propelling a physical rocket, for example, send thoughts from this interior reality through the barrier between nonphysical and physical into the objective world -- no small feat, and one that is constantly repeated."

The Nature of Personal Reality
Session 625, Page 95

~ your beliefs about age‏

"If you desperately try to remain young, it is usually to hide your beliefs about age, and to negate all of those emotions connected with it. Whenever you refuse to accept the reality of your creaturehood, you also reject aspects of your spirit."

~ a lack of zest or exuberance‏

"When people become ill, worried or fearful, one of the first symptoms of trouble is a lack of pleasure, a gradual discontinuance of playful action, an over-concentration upon personal problems. In other words, illness is first often marked by a lack of zest or exuberance."

The Way Toward Health
Session 4/10, Page 172

~ a keen sense of self-approval‏

"All creatures are also born, then, with a keen sense of self-approval. Each creature is born proud of itself, and loving itself. That same self-approval is also experienced in varying ways not only by creatures as you think of them, but also by atoms and molecules, and by all orders of matter."

    Toru Sato: The Ever-Transcending Spirit: The Psychology of Human Relationships, Consciousness, and Development
    5-December-2008 I bought this book last year and I finally found my courage and time to read this book at this time of the year. This book not only struck my inner chords, made me look back to my behaviors, thoughts and feelings since I became existed here on this planet. Wow....this book requires you to be open-minded, willingness to look within yourself and your relationship with yourself and others.

  • Timothy Freke: The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God?

    Timothy Freke: The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God?
    21-November-2008 Libby encouraged me to read this book, so I did at last 2 years later. It was a truly awakening call for me, both spiritually and personally. It re-affirmed my beliefs, thoughts and feelings since I first questioned the establishment of Christianity and other religions. If you have an open mind and want to get the in-depth details of history of Christianity and Paganism, then this book is one for you to read. Highly recommended for anyone who seeks the truth of purpose behind Christianity and Paganism. (*****)

  • 26-October-2008: Boston and the American Revolution: Boston National Historical Park, Massachusetts (National Park Service Handbook)
    I bought this book from Boston National Historic Park while I was visiting Boston this past May. This book explained the timeline of Boston and the American Revolution from 1650's thru 1780's. I enjoyed learning new things from this book such as how Bostonians didn't forecast that they would go their separate way from their mother country, England, until they were slammed with taxes without representatives in Parliament. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates American History. (*****)
  • Lisa Tuttle: The Mysteries

    Lisa Tuttle: The Mysteries
    20-October-2008 Libby lent me this book and said that I should read this book. So did I. I really enjoyed reading this book as it gave some background information on Celtic, Irish and Scottish stories among fairy stories. When someone vanishes without a trace, people would say that the fairies may be responsible for that. Hence, the book came with title, "The Mysteries", based on a character, a young woman, who disappeared from her mother for 2 years. Her mother hired a private investigator to locate her daughter. The plot was good. Recommended for anyone who enjoys fairy, Irish, Scottish and Celtic stories. (*****)

  • Kathy Reichs: Deja Dead

    Kathy Reichs: Deja Dead
    26-September-2008 - Gosh, this book really kept me glued after reading half-way. It involved a character named Dr. Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist, who detects a pattern of killer's work with dead women over a few years in Montreal. She tries to figure out the killer's next move and with that, she put herself into the corner....in the hands of killer. Such a suspenseful book to read. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys grisly and forensic science plot. (*****)

  • Trisha Meili: I Am the Central Park Jogger : A Story of Hope and Possibility

    Trisha Meili: I Am the Central Park Jogger : A Story of Hope and Possibility
    21-August-08 - I attended to forum where Trisha gave a presentation at my company. I met her and she was truly an amazing person to chat with. I finally got around to read her book. I learned so much about her and her personal struggles and accomplishment with her disability. It was a good reading for anyone who wants to understand how she went through the episodes - violence, hospitalization, rehabitation, work and life, relationship and court. Even though her body was "violated", her spirit didn't leave her....she was determined person to get through and get better. She came to terms of accepting herself as a new person, not same person as she was before. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know more about "The Central Park Jogger" and head trauma injury. (*****)

  • Khaled  Hosseini: The Kite Runner

    Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner
    14-August-08 - Di and Lis recommended me to read this book. I got this book from Lis in Guatemala. Once I got to halfway through of this book, I couldn't just put down this book. I just had to read it to end! To make this short, it was about the relationship with several characters in the book such as son, father, servant and servant's son and etc. and the Afghanistan in 1900's especially in 1970's, 1990's and 2000's. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand the history of Afghanistan and the relationship within its culture. (*****)

  • Chris Rose: 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina

    Chris Rose: 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina
    3-Aug-08 - I bought this book couple of weeks ago before going on Guatemala trip. I volunteered helping to rebuild a house in New Orleans twice, so I can relate in some ways to what Chris experienced how "the Thing" impacted in the community. It was a good reading and a-must-read for anyone who wants to gain more understanding of what New Orleanians were and still are dealing with post-Katrina era. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand how the impact of Hurricane Katrina had on New Orleans community . (*****)

  • Josh Swiller: The Unheard: A Memoir of Deafness and Africa

    Josh Swiller: The Unheard: A Memoir of Deafness and Africa
    6-March-08 - I attended to a forum where Josh gave a presentation about his book he wrote based on his Peace Corps experience in a country called Zambia in Africa. I was mesmerized by the way he wrote the book....how his words came together eloquently. High recommended for anyone who doesn't understand the ongoing violence and poverty of countries in Africa will gain some understandings from his book and a glimpse into a Deaf person's experience as a volunteer of Peace Corps. (*****)

  • Jane Yolen: Vampires

    Jane Yolen: Vampires
    27-Jan-08 - As a fan of Jane Yolen, I really enjoyed reading this book. Jane selected stories from all over the world and put them into a book for us to appreciate the different cultures, customs and backgrounds of what Vampires mean. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates fantasy tales. (*****)

    3-May-2009: Australia
    Roger P. and I watched this movie and it was champ! It was based during WWII in Northern Terrority, Australia. Sarah (Nicole Kidman) and Drover (Hugh Jackman) were great together.

    12-April-2009: Wall-E (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)
    Roger P. and I got to watch this cute movie.

Highly recommended for family to watch this movie together. (*****)

  • 9-April-2009: This is My Father

    9-April-2009: This is My Father
    This movie was absolutely sobering story to watch about the son seeking the truth about his mysterious father. It was typical Irish background in 1930's - deeply rooted by Catholicism and how the society must live by its codes. It was a movie with sad ending. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates the authentic Irish movie with no happiness at end of the movie. (*****)

  • 1-March-2009: Johnny English (Widescreen Edition)
