“Out beyond ideas of wrong doling and right doing there is a field.I’ll meet you there.” Rumi
Did you know that the collective consciousness of the human race can be calibrated, both for current events and for past eras? And that it can be determined scientifically just how low or high a consciousness any individual is now, or has been in the past? Humanity lives in and is part of a vast field of intelligent energy that some call Divine Love. As with all things in existence, evolution first occurs as a movement of energy, around which a physical form is usually condensed. Gradually consciousness (awareness) emerges and continues to evolve. On an arbitrary scale of 1-1000, the level of consciousness can be calibrated for various species, animals, plants and rocks included—just about anything. Thanks to the enormous work of Dr. David R. Hawkins and thousands of tests, we know without doubt that the body can verify truth, something that is quite impossible for the mind, or ego, since matter must respond to its local energy field. Thanks also goes to John Diamond’s work with muscle testing (Touch for Health), and others who are continually validating this spiritual science. Through clinical testing we know without doubt that bodies never lie. The truth is a clear path to peace and integrity. If experienced without judgment, warring conflicts within the individual as well as between nations can be resolved. This is a science of truth. We can use the Map of Consciousness devised by Dr. David R. Hawkins and his multitude of researchers as a tool for self-discovery through the levels of consciousness. Since ego controls our lives when we are not actually present in the moment of now, our thinking mind cannot tell truth from falsehood. However, our bodies can, with 100% accuracy when tested using Hawkins’ prescribed method of kinesiology, or “Touch for Health” (muscle testing.) (See Hawkins, Power vs. Force, or his other books.) This is because the physical realm must reproduce the amount of energy in the energy field in which it resides, bypassing ego’s perceptions, wants and logical interpretations. It’s that simple. Most of us take a stand in what we believe, or represent to others. Often the philosophy that is our ideal has a name, an organization. Those who express themselves as Christians, Eckanar, I Am, Jews, Ramtha Students, Religious Scientists, (and so many more) practice living their Truth, wherever they may be. Knowing we live and breathe from one divine Source brings loving kindness to our words and acts. Most of us are authentic in our intent to grow spiritually, back to Oneness, whatever our path.
Symbols play a great part in our expression of Truth. (Truth is only that which is present with us in the moment.) We dress as we see ourselves being Love in action. Wearing jewelry plays a great part in feeling connected to our particular path. It tells the world Who we really are, despite the frequent transgressions of Ego. Whatever group you represent, I know you’ll find great pleasure in wearing symbols, whether jewelry or not, to stand for what you represent, and Who you really are! Discuss this subject further.

Making Science of Mind Jewelry Science of Mind reflects the teaching of Dr. Ernest Holmes, in the first half of the 20th Century. He was the founder of Religious Science, which has as its basis, “Change your thinking; change your life.”
Knowing that our thoughts and attitudes create our environment, Holmes synthesized the teachings (that worked for him) of all the ancient masters, thus being an avant-guard of the well known movie, “The Secret,” which turns out to be that very philosophy.The logo he created expresses Divinity projecting, or condensing, into form by passing through increasingly physical dimension, into physical form. Note that the V, representing the passage of Divinity, or Consciousness, is open at the top. Thus, all life is connected and not separate, after all. Ron Houpt is currently one of very few jewelers on the planet with the license to create gold and silver jewelry with this design. He probably has the largest selection available today. Spiritual students following this path are proud to wear the symbol of Life in unique expression, yet connected to the All. Ron has been making both the official Science of Mind jewelry and similar symbols of New Thought for 11 years. A member of the Mile High Religious Science church (near Denver), he often brings his brilliant jewelry to New Thought Conferences, where the attendees appreciate his fine work. Popular are both the men’s and women’s rings in either sterling silver or 14k gold. Two styles are available: the Science of Mind logo in a solid disc or the open style. The stud earrings are also with a choice of solid or open style. In addition to using the official logo on pendants, earrings, pins, tie tacks, rings, and bracelets in sterling silver or 14k gold, he has created heart-shaped jewelry around the logo in many fine jewelry forms.In addition, there is a line of pendants, earrings and pins in a 3-metal design, using copper, bronze, and silver. These Body Mind Soul jewelry pieces are a favorite among those partial to the blend of 3 metals. This style features a round disc with the Science of Mind logo in the three colors. The New Thought Ancient Wisdom teachings began at the end of the 19th Century, with Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a New England clockmaker. They called him “Dr.” because of the amazing healings he performed. He discovered if a person could just let go of a strong opinion he or she held, their illness would vanish. What a wonderful emblem to wear on your finger, lapel, wrist, around your neck or on your ears! Rev. Eleanor Richard "Your Opinions May Cause Illness" Phineas Parkhurst Quimby was big on getting opinions out of the way, since they blocked health. A New England clockmaker and healer at the end of the 19th Century, he is often considered the father of new thought. He knew that there was an opinion behind every illness. Healing an Opinion Heals the Illness
People flocked to Quimby to be cured of all sorts of ailments, almost always involving whatever was “eating them up” mentally. He questioned his patients as to what they thought about religion, politics, or the latest medical practices. When he hit a nerve, so to speak, anger usually came out. “Those others” weren’t doing what the sick person thought they should or shouldn’t be doing; the world just going to hell in a hand basket!
When “Dr” Quimby could get his patient to change his or her mind about whatever was bothering to an attitude of acceptance, the illness would miraculously disappear. After all, the thing that was annoying them about someone else really was none of the patient’s concern, and the physical body was resisting the anger or resentment by getting sick.
In studying the healing ways of Quimby, I was interested to find his observations about how widespread opinions are. He included organizations, as well as patients, among the opinionated. He noticed medicine, religion and class (in the late 1800’s) as being established opinions, rarely open to new ideas. One of New Thought’s characteristics is that it can only be understood by practical application.
So I experiment a lot. I’ve found that when I speak of others as being wrong, or doing wrong things, I can actually feel physical changes in my body, such as tightness, warmth, and neck tension. I used to drive my car by tensing my neck, but when I discovered how useless this was, I learned to be aware and then stop altogether. Another Level Beyond Thinking
There is another level beyond “change your thinking, change your life.” Whenever I am present, that is, mindful of whatever is present with me, the thinking mind stops. I am free of judgments, beliefs, and opinions. Everything around me just is. Then I am at peace. I can allow everything to be as it is. In silence, in no thought, even as I am observing the situation from an accepting viewpoint, I am awake in Presence.
I am beyond opinions of how things should be. I am neither for nor against anything. This is Peace. The good news is, In the moments that I am watchful of my thinking, I stimulate the immune system, and the whole of humanity’s collective consciousness is that much closer to peace. Put your spiritual growth in top priority!
It seems the more moments we spend in the Now, the more we slow the biological aging process. All we have to do is be aware of our thoughts, watching.
May Presence and Love awaken in every man, woman, and child living on this planet. May there be peace and wellness on earth--everywhere.
Karen writes about the creation of EggTooth Originals:
……Jewelry Design Inspired by Nature When I most recently began making jewelry, I looked to nature for my inspiration. This seemed an obvious choice. I’ve worked as a biologist for 20 years and this has given me plenty of opportunity to observe and appreciate nature. The birds of northern California, the beauty of the Klamath Mountains and Scott Valley, and the rugged northern California Coast are just some of the specific influences in my jewelry. I’ve heard it said that art is a form of love.
These jewelry pieces are a way of expressing my love for the beauty around me. I hope that you enjoy the piece you have selected, and that when you wear it, you are reminded of the source of its inspiration.
WHERE’S YOUR FOCUS? I suspect your focus depends upon your belief at the moment. Is it a world of doom and gloom? Do you fall prey to the opinions of others? (That’s a loaded question—think of all the things/companies/criminals/drugs on the news.) “Ain’t it awful!” is the cry continually around us, no matter where. Check it out. Can you go an hour around people without hearing something like that? The good news is, we can choose to focus on the good news. It’s there, too. One of my minister friends writes this: (in a counseling session with a complainer and griper, he asks,) “ ‘If you could visualize your life as a glass of water, would it be half empty or half full?’ Without skipping a beat, he replied, ‘Depends on what’s in the glass. If it’s something bad, it is definitely better than half full, and if it’s something good it’s way below empty.’ 
My friend replied, “I recommend you have the altimeter regulating the altitude of your attitude checked, because it’s flying way below the radar screen of life. If you were to develop an attitude of gratitude, it would turn your life inside out.” (Dr. Dennis Merritt Jones, from The Power of Gratitude) Thanksgiving is the season of giving, yet it is impossible to give before I receive, for I have already received 1000 things to every one that I give. There is so much good around us--so much beauty. And that’s my focus, each day.
"THE EBB & FLOW OF THE TIDE "
The ebb and flow of the ocean is a given. It has been so since our planet added oceans to its land. How can we ever separate ebb from flow? The tide just is. “As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever more,” is it is written. When I stand on the sand and gaze at the changeless, yet ever changing ocean, I realize this is the very same ocean that existed when I was a child, or last year, in the M It seems to me we can look at the tide of giving-receiving as one energy. Its ebb and flow in our lives are quite noticeable. Nature does its giving-receiving tide continually, especially as seasons change, or the blowing of the wind, or rain and sunshine. This apparent duality is really one Tide. And we are living in it. We ebb and flow right along with nature, oceans, our breath, and the flow of abundance. In order to be “in the flow,” we need to participate in both giving and receiving equally. Then we are at peace. Wars and anger may exist in this tide, and so might pleasure and loving. But all together, we are all in this “soup” of energies, the Tide. You may have heard it’s more important to give than receive. Why is that? Or perhaps you’ve been told you must give before you receive, to prime the pump, so to speak. Why is that? We are receiving so very much each minute from life, it is impossible to give before receiving. Ernest Holmes defines Love as “the givingness of Itself.” I already receive 1,000 things for every gift that I give. Can anyone outgive God? More by Rev. Eleanor Richard Toward Better Health “Blending Health and Fitness”
After any holiday and its “Eat, drink, and be merry” atmosphere, you may be one of the many who wish to feel more delight and less stress in your body and mind. If so, you are probably interested in becoming healthier and more physically fit, whatever that means to you. Whether you are interested in your physical well-being from the aspect of wellness and the ability to feel more pleasure and joy in your body, or from the standpoint of muscle strength and coordination, health and fitness are a team that work together naturally, if you allow them.
Free of Disease Let’s first imagine what it is like to be free of dis-ease and physically fit. You are powerful and radiant. Your muscles are strong yet supple, elastic enough to yield under pressure. You tend to eat foods that are good for you, mostly foods still alive with energy (fruits, nuts, raw vegetables.) You are able to relax and do so daily. You feel all the joys, tensions, angers around you, but you know how to let those feelings go, keeping out chronic tension and probable illness.
You know the pleasure of exercise—fast or slow—with coordinated breathing and skillful maneuvers. You enjoy improving your skiing, jogging, hiking, etc., as well as the pleasure of movement itself; flexibility and increased mental and physical awareness. You are generally free from chronic pains, stiffness, headaches and low energy. (My definition of low energy is lack of pleasure when moving through tasks or recreational movements.) If this does not describe you at present, it could.
A Key to Staying Healthy The key to staying healthy, strong, and free of stress is through awareness. Toward Better Health is an eBook that gives you positive action, such as eating foods that add, rather than subtract to your wellness; and the practice of mindfulness to pay attention to your physical body. Chapters include, but are not limited to, “Relax and See Better,” “ When Accidents Happen,” ”The Emotional Sea”, “Legs,” eating “plus” foods, rather than “minus” food, and much more, Eating the right foods and drinking plenty of good water is a major part of staying well and fit. If you eat mostly living foods, as mentioned earlier, for the better part of a year, you will then be able to let your body guide you into the best foods and combinations of those that are right for you. Bodies don’t lie. The thinking mind usually does. Bodywork Releases Stuck Energy Mindful bodywork, such as Lomi Bodywork, is a great way to be in touch with your body. Since past traumatic memories and emotions that were not previously expressed get stuck in the musculature, releasing them brings increased mindfulness, lightness, and wellness; physically, mentally, and spiritually. You could do this!
