Finding Peace and Harmony in 2008

Dr. James Martin Peebles
1822-1922

God Bless You Indeed!

Dr. Peebles here sending you love and cuddles from the place you call Spirit. Indeed, all is one and we would like you to know that you too are Spirit. There is no separation. You are just experiencing "Spirit" from a different place than we are here in what some of you call "heaven." It would delight you to know that we laugh and cry just as you do while you are in your physical bodies. However, in our place we live in a place of harmony with all.

In the year 2008 you will experience many highs and lows, as you may call them. You will experience all the heights and depths of emotions that a human can experience.

Some of you will embrace the experience of being an emotional human being and others will continue to cry out "get me out of here!" Indeed it delights us to assist in your process of spiritual growth no matter which view point you choose.

For those of you who are ready to take the leap into "harmony with all" we are most happy to assist you and let you know that you do not have to leave the body to find this harmony and peace you are seeking. Indeed, everyone has the capability to find peace and harmony even while you are wearing an earth suit.

Would it surprise you to know that finding peace and harmony is a matter of choice? Indeed, it is a matter of intent and desire. The key here is to search for the peace within rather than without. Yes, the world is in turmoil, but you do not have to be. Find the center of your being, the place that is still. It is there you will find that you exist without thoughts and feelings.

It is the thoughts and feelings of human emotions that rule your mind. It is judging them as right or wrong that gets you into your struggles. We ask you today to choose to find the peace within. May you feel the love of God surrounding you in 2008! God Bless You Indeed!

A Message From Mother Mary

Greetings My Beloved Ones...

To bring peace to the world you must first bring peace to your own heart. A heart at war within self brings war on a bigger scale. Sing of peace within. Petition the Divine to bring peace in you and around you, then peace will spread from your heart to the next heart.

It is like a chain of hearts that connects around the world holding peace for your dear planet. Focus in your own heart that all the pain, fears and sorrows of your world are being healed by the Divine Creator.
Then will peace come to the world.

Mother Mary

Casa Gifts Bring Holiday Joy

With broad and beaming smiles, the San Luis Head Start preschool children, parents by their side, strolled past the Casa de Santa Maria table in the school lobby.

Their instructions, select one of the neatly arranged brand new hard cover inspirational children's books for their very own — a gift from Casa de Santa Maria of San Luis.

A grateful parent shared, "This is the first new book Peter has ever owned. Thank you for this wonderful gift!" Another amazed, "To think people who don't know us — care about us!"

As the procession continued, I suspect the smiles on Susan's and my face. and in our hearts, beamed as brightly as those receiving their treasure.

With each acknowledgement received, we made certain everyone understood these Christmas gifts were the result of our many wonderful Casa supporters throughout the country.

New book clutched to their chest, the children then moved to other tables of lightly used children books from which they were allowed to choose two more as their very own.

Perhaps our mistake, but we decided not to take photos of this joyous occasion. Not a time to think of promoting our efforts, but more of allowing all to enjoy the moment without distraction.

In assembly an hour later, each of the children were presented with a neatly wrapped brand new, age appropriate toy, clearly marked with the child's name and a "With Love From Casa de Santa Maria of San Luis."

Your many contributions were also shared with Centennial School of Costilia County (K-12), Head Start's Community Outreach Program, Sangre De Christo Parish Church, as well as needy individuals not associated with any particular group.

What a wonderful outpouring of love and good will from our dear Casa-Folk, to those in need living in the San Luis, Colorado area.

Your hundreds of books, toys and clothing have truly brought warmth and love to this future home of Casa de Santa Maria. Thank You!

Casa 2008 Prediction

How beautiful the eloquence of our dear friend in spirit, Dr. Peebles. Always on message, always heartfelt, and always an inspiration.

Now, we share our take on the exciting promise to be found in the year 2008. Get ready, get set — and fasten that seat belt, because 2008 will be a year like no other.

A year where clarity will bring into focus so many questions raised by phrases like Earth Changes, Global Warming, the approaching year, 2012, and yes, even the economy.

This will be a year of communication, revelation and understanding that will challenge your mind and cause you to completely rethink what you've long believed to be true. Does all that strike a cord of fear within?

Don't even go there! You do have a choice between fear and adventurous anticipation. Why choose fear?

Let the tendency toward the negative be the old paradigm. Has it served you well up till now? Not likely. Choose adventurous anticipation!

If you haven't yet found it, begin your search for the Divinity within yourself — and everything that happens. How can it be bad?

We're so happy and blest to be on earth at this point in time, and doubly so to have you as a fellow adventurer.

As our dear friend Edgar Cayce said:

"Be glad you have the opportunity to be alive at this time, and to be a part of that preparation for the coming influences of a spiritual nature that must rule the world. These are indicated, and these are part of thy experience. Be happy of it, and give thanks daily for it."

In making that statement, I suspect Edgar was viewing this time period!

Speaking Of Communication

Here's a rare opportunity to develop (or sharpen) your ability to communicate with that dimension we call the other side!

A Two Hour Live Telephone Learning Seminar
with Susan & Milt Sanderford

HOW TO CONNECT WITH SPIRIT

Saturday, January 26th, 2008
2:00 p.m. Eastern Time

$30

There are a number of reasons folks wish to develop an open line of communication with Spirit/God/Guides/Loved Ones/The Other Side.

Susan and I feel our first hand experiences in this area can help many to accomplish that goal. That's the reason behind our decision to share the specific details of how Susan was directly and personally trained by spirit in the area of spirit communication development.

Our goal is also to make this seminar financially available to as many as possible who otherwise are unable to attend conferences that involve the expense of traveling, overnight hotel expenses, and the like.

Here's what you will learn during this seminar:

• Two Vital Keys to Successful Spirit Communication
• Things That Block Successful Communication
• How to Remove the Blocks
• Exercises Given to Susan by Her Spirit Guides
(Yes, there's homework.)
• The Importance of Meditation in the Process
(And why it doesn't have to be difficult)
• How to Hear/Recognize Spirit's Voice

We'll share with you in these two hours what we've experienced as a result of being taught by our spirit guides, ascended masters, and loved ones in spirit -- not theories based on what other's believe, or have written about.

(We have it on rather good authority that our dear friend and advisor on mediumship and spirit communication, Dr. James Martin Peebles, just might make a brief appearance during our telephone training seminar.)

Here's How the Program Details Will Work

Several weeks before the seminar, we'll supply you with a special number to call. (To keep the cost down, the cost of the call is on you.) Several days before the seminar, we'll send you a detailed reminder of the procedure to follow.

You place the call at least ten minutes before the scheduled time. You'll key in a special number we supply and you'll be patched in to our seminar. We will begin promptly so don't be late.

You will hear Susan and Milt live, but you will not be able to be heard, nor will you hear anyone else. If you have a question during the seminar, you'll email us at iheart@sedona.net. We'll try to answer as many questions before the session ends. If we don't get to your question during the session, we'll answer your question by email within 24-hours.

Our How To Connect With Spirit telephone learning seminar will be held in one two-hour session, with a break after the first hour;

Saturday, January 26th, 2008
beginning at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time,
1:00 p.m. Central Time,
noon Mountain Time, and
11:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

At the end of the first hour we will take a 45 minute break. This will allow you to rest your arm and ear, tend to the kids needs, grab a quick snack, take a potty break -- even review your notes while fresh in your mind.

At the end of the break, begin your reconnecting process the same way you began the session. We will begin hour number two promptly at the top of the hour, so start your recalling process after your 45 minute break. (Your total time investment will be three hours, which includes the break.)

The total cost of our How To Connect With Spirit telephone learning seminar is $30.
Make your check payable to Susan Sanderford and mail to:

Susan Sanderford
P.O. Box 64
San Luis, CO 81152

Remember, the cost of the phone calls are on you.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON OFFER

For an additional $15, you will receive:

A complete email transcript of the seminar material, plus;

One personal email consultation within 30-days of the seminar, answering up to three of your follow up questions.

To guarantee your participation in this seminar, please email us at iheart@sedona.net
and let us know you'll be mailing your check to reserve your place.

We hope you will be moved to join us in this potentially life changing program.

An Interview With God

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “I have eternity, and so do you!” “What questions do you have in mind for me today?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered, “That they get bored with childhood, rush to grow up, and then long to be children again

“That they lose their health to make money, and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by being anxious about the future, they forget the present, so that they live in neither the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while. Yes, silence IS golden!

And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved, and become love!”

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently, and learn that difference is OK.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly. "I have much work to do!"

Here's a good question for you. Why contribute to Casa de Santa Maria in San Luis, Colorado? Glad you asked!!!

When Jesus asked us to build a healing retreat center in an the isolated San Luis Valley, He shared it would be in honor of His Mother, a non-denominational place where Mary's healing presence will be experienced. A place that will attract people from around the globe to have their broken hearts healed.

We asked but two questions. Why us? Why there? "We have no money or experience to tackle a job like this Jesus… and San Luis? Can't we do it in beautiful Sedona, Arizona? This past year the answers came clear. "You have many friends with a heart for God and the ability to help make the Casa a reality. Ask and they will help!"

Why San Luis? "It is a sacred place, and will become more so!" So we ask you to become a vital part of this effort to make Casa de Santa Maria a reality. We offer this opportunity for you to help make a miracle bloom in this desolate high desert country of Colorado.

To date, a dear patron has purchased these 38 acres upon which the Casa will stand. To date we have: received contributions to allow us to obtain the services of a highly respected CPA; form a non-profit, tax exempt corporation; cleared thick wild sagebrush and tumbleweed from a 400 foot circular area at the front of the property that will soon become the 300 foot diameter Mary's Garden.

To date your contributions have also allowed us to dig a wonderful 163 foot well, tapping into a rapidly flowing river of fresh water that races beneath the Casa property, pay for a ten feet tall, 750 pound sculpture of Mother Mary, carved by an Alaskan Native-American master carver (at Mary's request), to soon stand in the center of the Casa Garden.

To date your contributions have also provided a beautiful fountain for our healing grotto, and lodgepole swing for the garden, a tiller to work the ground, and a wonderful Amish-built storage shed to house our tools. All paid for, with no Casa debt, and enough left over to currently have about $20,000 in the Casa bank account.

Our coming plans requiring additional funds are; for a solar well pump so we can begin to use our well water in the spring, professional pavers to surround Mary's sculpture, professional landscaping assistance for parts of the garden, designing and building our first cabin, and designing and building our main Casa building where meetings and healing ceremonies will take place.

Want to be a part of this oasis we've been asked to help build? You've been drawn to this project for a reason. Please think about your possible role.
