“Any act performed with Intention becomes a Rite. We can take a bath with no more in mind than Physical Cleanliness: In which case the Bath will cleanse our bodies and no more. Or we can take a Bath with a view of Ritual Cleanliness, in which case it efficacy will extend beyond the Physical Plane.”

This quote from Diane Fortune’s book, Psychic Self-Defense, provides a simple example of how each one of us can become individual “Transformers” in our Community, and also in Society at large. By simply beginning to live more consciously, performing the simple acts of our daily lives with “Focus” and “Intention,” magical things will have room to occur. In conjunction with a sense of Caring for and connecting with the Natural World, and with other Humans, this kind of “Conscious Living” is a simple recipe for Positive Change. If this kind of positive action were magnified by millions of people in the Global Community, this is a way to help improve the lives of everyone. This is the true meaning of the old saying, “Charity begins at Home.”

Well…Here I am; back, after a long and incredibly difficult year. In mid-November my Satellite Internet Connection went on the blink, then subsequently, my computer crashed. The Satellite Modem was replaced, and the Computer was finally restored, and the data recovered. It has been a long and difficult year, and we are fast approaching the Anniversary of the swift passing of my beloved wife and Mission Partner, Sharon Tanemura Maynard into the higher realms. The good news is that all legal tax proceedings have finally been resolved, and that I am in the process of re-inventing myself and recovering my Creative Muse…thanks to the kindness and support of my family and incredible caring friends [You know who you are]. I have no words to express my gratitude for the gifts that they have unselfishly given.
Christmas turned out to be a very joyful holiday, spent quietly at home, and filled with happiness, good music, and a new sense of inner peace. The New Year was the best I have ever experienced, thanks to the wonderful kindness and support of the Fire Rose Production, Inc. in LA. The New Year promises a cornucopia of exciting New Adventures, as I will continue working in areas of the Creative Arts…Live Theater, Music (my Electric Violin), Photography, and Documentary Film Production. Recently, Arcos Cielos provided major funding for the purchase of a 70mm Cinemax Camera, which will open new vistas in Documentary Film Production in Sedona [More about this later].

I would like to wish everyone out there in Cyberspace a wonderful New Year, filled with inner joy and the reaching forth toward new levels of Global Leadership, and Transformative Thought and Action. I would once again like to share the wonderful visualization of a pair of otters, who, in their animated, furry way express what ofttimes might be impossible to express in human language.

This is one of those heart-warming incidents in Nature, which seem just too incredibly delightful to be real. Photographer, Norbert Rosing thought his sled dogs were doomed, when a Polar Bear suddenly materialized out of the blue and approached his dogs. He captured an incredible series of photos to document the amazing encounter that ensued. To see the photos, CLICK HERE.
