cobber caught on tape

IN BATON Rouge, Louisiana, in
October, Larry McKee, 42, was
arrested and charged with robbing
a convenience store. The robbery
Started in the back room, and the
robber thus wasn't aware that a
camera crew from WBRZ-TV was
taping a feature on crime in the
front of the store. The tape clearly
shows the robber running through
the store and out the front door.

:, ministering “cyanide at different

PART EH: Introduction to
“Considerations”: informa-
tion given to clients to be
read prior to listening to
their taped readings.

As Arnold J. Toynbee, the his-
torian, once said, ‘‘Each society
progresses only to the extent that
it meets its challenges.’' The same
is true for individuals.

Whenever one feels that planets
are entities which influence and
“cause” things, good or bad, to
happen, one is hurt by such a
belief.

All beliefs in outside powers
constitute deteriorations in indi-
vidual selfhood.

Such beliefs lead to a degree of.
psychological slavery through fear
or transference of the power of
initiative.

In actuality, there-is nothing ~
outside of one’s essential self.
There is, in fact, no separation on
any level. It is all within you.

Everything is synchronistically
geared to the always unique, un-
precedented, creative moment of
which the holy spirit, which «
animates you, is the very expres-
sion.

What ‘‘influences’”’ you is the
moment. You are that.

You, a unique, particular focal
point of consciousness, on the
form level, in a body, literally in-
haled all the potentialities inherent
at the moment of your birth, the
‘basic, fundamental imprint, the
natal chart. .

You are about to embark upon
a step-by-step consideration of

At any given point in the

progressed/current and upcoming
transits, synthesize what you hear:

Know that it is all consciousness
.-- all lessons to which I refer.

} might add that when all
lessons are learned ‘for this time:
around’? we simply depart the. ~ -
body and continue on to the next,
adventure, the nature of which is
determined by the quality of this.
one, in accordance with cosmic ;

laws which indicate that all energy -

rises.ever ‘‘upward” on the scale
of eternal harmony.

This ‘‘lifetime,’’ then, is a mere
spark in the one, overall eternal

life which is beginningless/endless. -

All is consciousness. And so I
apply my consciousness to the
nature of these various lessons,
challenges, potentialities.

Every particular aspect is con-
sidered in itself, but keep in mind,
as we proceed, that nothing exists
in and of itself alone, but rather
in relationship, in complete in-
terdependence with all the various °
features of the beingness on all
levels.
