I have a post in draft about the fact that the most effective way for us to change the world is for us to first work on ourselves. When we have our own houses in order, it flows out and effects others around us, like ripples on a pond. An overused analogy, but it is true.

My friend Melynn has a post on her blog titled, Fixing the World, from an article by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, that expresses this idea very beautifully.

Truth lies within ourselves: it takes no rise from outward things, whatever you may believe. There is an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness and to Know rather consists in opening out a way whence the imprisoned splendor may escape than in effecting entry for light supposed to be without. — Robert Browning

Today my friend Frank DeMarco posted a part of one of his TGU transcripts he titled, Exercises for Spiritual Advancement where the Guys give three good exercises we can all do. Frank has been bring through information from his “Guys Upstairs” – his guides and that greater part of himself – for years and the information is truly wonderful. Worth your time I think.

Bob Monroe, founder of the Monroe Institute and author of three books on his explorations of the “out there” was a remarkable man. I had the chance to meet Bob when I attended my first program at the Monroe Institute, The Gateway Voyage in 1991. During the program Bob came in one evening and spoke with us for about an hour and answered questions. He still shows up in my journeys and dreams from time-to-time, although I’ve never remembered to talk with him on those occasions. Typically he just appears or walks through and gives me his knowing smile and a wink.

My friend, Frank DeMarco sent me a link to a blog where someone had posted a partial transcript of an interview with Bob where he gives his perspective on why we are here and why we choose to incarnate.
