Samhain Ritual

This is an original Samhain ritual that we will be doing on my radio show, Until You Walk the Path, You Don't Know Where it Goes

At the beginning of this new year,
I chose to accept both the laughter and the tears.
With love and hope I call to those from above and below
to help me find ways to help make miracles into my life flow.

These three coins I do bless in the name of the maiden, mother crone.
Each represents a karmic debt I do own.
Left in places for others to find
they are my promise to create ways to be more generous and kind.

A blessing for three strangers before the full moon I will be,
Anonymously I well help without any benefit for me.
In word, deed or whatever needs to be done
so they may find love, healing and their challenges won.

Lastly I will forgive three who hurt my heart
by allowing the pain and sadness to part.
Without asking for anything from another
I will forgive myself and two others.

Paying forward with kindness and love
I light these three candles and ask for help from below and above.
Please show me the way to heal a little more each day
so love, healing and my dreams may come to me without delay.

Godesses, Gods, Grandmother and Grandfather Spirit
I ask that you bless me with all that I merit.
Look into my heart and soul
for the dreams I do hold.

Here my words as I pray,
Bring my dreams and love with out delay.

You are welcome to use it but if you share it please link it back to my website at www.theresachaze.com.

Spirit Driven Events – Fascinating and Enlightening True Stories, by Mary D. Scott

Spirit Driven Events – Fascinating and Enlightening True Stories,
by Mary D. Scott

The book consists of 190 pages, including over 50 pages of pictures where real spirits were captured, including the spirit of Elvis.



Visit: www.spiritdrivenevents.com to read the full Excerpt and visit the Spirit Photo / Video Gallery.


Everyone has Spiritual abilities and it is time for the world to WAKE UP to theirs!

The following things are NOT VISIBLE, yet we all believe them to exist in our world: Air; Calories; Cold; Taste; Thought; Trust, Love; and Whisper.

While these things cannot be seen, they may be felt, heard, smelled, or tasted. No one seems to have a problem with not being able to see these things. Yet when people say they can see, talk to, and/or sense spirits --- their skepticism kicks into gear! WHY??? Because it scares them or they were trained in their upbringing to not believe! Death, spirits, and ghosts are scary to people; apparently much scarier then air, calories, cold, etc. There are people who claim to believe in God and his son Jesus, yet they have a hard time believing in the spirit world. WHY???

After all, God is the Supreme Spirit and we are all a part of God! Sooner or later when one’s body dies, and their spirit lives on, they will know the truth. It is just a shame they prefer to live with their heads buried in the sand instead of waking up to God now, while they are here on earth. And, we are supposed to be doing God’s work.



About the Author

The writing of this book, in itself, is a “Spirit Driven Event”. I had a few reasons for writing this book, the two primary reasons being: (1.) God and my spirit allies wanted me to write this book (as well as others to come; and they can be very persistent); and (2.) My spirit allies and I want to enlighten people in order for them to become aware of their spiritual abilities. Everyone possesses spiritual abilities they only need to learn how to recognize and use them for the good they were meant to be used for. There are no coincidences and everything really does happen for a reason.

I have several spiritual abilities: clairsentience, intuitive, healer, and the ability to receive infused knowledge; just to name a few. And while I usually cannot see spirits I can definitely feel them and I can usually understand their message to me. I do not consider myself a psychic or medium; however all of the above mentioned abilities are “mediumship” abilities. I have had spiritual abilities as long as I can remember (most of my life). However, sometimes they frightened me and I would refuse to deal with them. Over the past fifteen years or so I was at a place in my life where I was forced to deal with them. The spirits would not leave me alone. I have been told by many people that I am a “spirit magnet”.

Over the years I kept a journal I call “Spirit Driven Events”. This journal does not contain all of my spirit driven events, merely the ones I consider to be “really cool”. My journal consists of hundreds of events. I have selected forty-one events to include in this book which is organized into two sections. The first section contains general Spirit Driven Events; and the second section contains Spirit Driven Healing Events. Because I selected certain events from my journal, this book is not in “Spirit Driven Event #” order. While the events in this book are all true the names used (in most cases) are fictional. Any resemblance to actual names of persons, living or dead is entirely coincidental.

My hope is for you (the reader) to learn from my spiritual journey and to be able to relate to some of these events in your own life --- by having an AHA moment and realize your spiritual abilities.

With love and many blessings.

Spirit Driven Events – Fascinating and Enlightening True Stories,
by Mary D. Scott

SECTION I – Spirit Driven Events (SDE) in General

As I have stated before, everyone has spiritual abilities; they just need to learn what abilities they have and how to use them. God and other spirits like to communicate with us and let us know they are near. Sometimes they communicate in order to help us and sometimes the message is meant to help someone else. Sometimes deceased loved ones communicate just to let you know they are with you and thinking about you.

Spirits have many communication methods. Below are some of the many ways:
Moving objects
Dropping coins (sometimes the date on the coin is significant) or other objects
Turning lights on and off --- basically manipulating anything that is electrical --- radios, telephones, computers, televisions, etc.
Producing a smell, a thought, or song to you
Showing up in photos and videos
Talking and/or showing themselves to us
Knocking on doors and walls and/or ringing doorbells
Chirping a smoke alarm (the chirping is different than when a battery needs replacing)
Giving you infused knowledge
Appearing in your dreams to give you a message
Sending someone to help you or sending you to help someone

There are so many ways they try to communicate with us that it is difficult to list them all. You can set up ways to communicate with your loved ones who have passed. My Aunt Andrea has communicated with me in several different ways over the past thirty-four years. Over the last few years she has chosen to get my attention by chirping the downstairs bedroom smoke alarm (this is a bedroom where she seems to like to show up). She will chirp the smoke alarm until I receive and deliver her message --- then she will stop. My angels like to get my attention by chirping my smoke alarm in my bedroom. When I receive their message they too will stop chirping. Sometimes they just want to mess with me. This is when I tell them to “knock-it-off” and they do.

Just as the spirits have many ways to communicate they also have many ways to show themselves (orb, energy, partial manifestation, human, etc). The most common way is in “orb” form which you will see many on the cover and throughout this book. There are good / positive spirits and there are bad / negative spirits.



SECTION II – Spirit Driven Healing Events in General

Spiritual healing is a God given gift--- one that not everyone is gifted with. It is given to people with certain characteristics. There are many “spiritual healers” who have spent thousands of dollars on training to become healers (Reiki, energy, etc.). My spiritual healing gift is from God. My training was given to me by God and the spirit healers God sends to me. To me this has been an incredible learning experience!

The spiritual healings I perform are ALL about God, and are ALL up to God’s will--- I am merely a conduit. All the spiritual healings I do (or spiritual help I send to people) starts with “Dear God…. and ends with Thank You and Amen.” So when people thank me for the healing or spiritual help I asked to be sent I tell them not to thank me but to thank God.

Apparently I have had this ability all of my life. However, I never really knew what it was or much of anything else about this power. I know wherever I go and when I am near someone and I heat up ---I am meant to heal that person. The heating up was difficult to get used to. I would get so hot I would be dripping in perspiration --- and I certainly don’t like to sweat! People tell me how hot my hands were when I would touch them. They were amazed at the amount of intense heat that came out of me! My medium friend, Kara, would tease me that some day I was going to catch on fire!

I was lucky to have many medium friends who could see and talk to the spirit healers who came to work through me and they could tell me who they were. Apparently, at any one time six spirit healers work through me (I am assuming God sends as many as needed for the situation). While they may not always be the same spirit healers sent to me, I know my deceased aunt is always one of them. Through my trials and tribulations I have found Harry Edwards is also one who comes to work through me.

A spiritual friend of mine loaned me a book to read which was written by Harry Edwards. Apparently Harry Edwards was a spiritual healer and was acknowledged as being the closest-healer to Christ. Harry Edwards passed away in 1976 (as did my aunt). I kept the book for three weeks but never read it. I returned the book to my friend and decided to order a copy of the book for me to keep from the Harry Edwards Sanctuary in England--- this way I would read it when I had time. Meanwhile, God and my spirit healers were guiding and teaching me all I needed to know and accomplish.

On one of my trips to Michigan I tried to read the book (while on the airplane) I was able to get only about sixty pages into the book --- it kept freaking me out! While I was reading, I would find I had been guided by my spirits to do exactly everything in that book!

It took six hours to read those sixty pages because every time I found I was doing all those things I didn’t know why --- it freaked me out and I put the book aside! Sometimes as I was reading I found myself editing the book versus learning from it! To this day I still have not finished reading that book. I continue to just let God and my spirit healers guide and teach me everything I need to know and do.

Lori, Runaway Wife; A Romantic Mystery

http://www.ValentineDmitriev.com A spouse abuse victim stands a much better chance of surviving independently if they possess career skills and other life skills.

That is the central theme of the novel Lori, Runaway Wife (ISBN 1-60672-173-0, 2008 Publish America, Baltimore, 229 pages, $15), by Valentine Dmitriev, 92, a retired educator and author of several books.

Lori Becker, a nurse at a Queens's hospital, is a battered wife who is intimidated by her brutal spouse despite being professionally skilled. Lori lives in the fantasy world of romance mysteries, idolizing their handsome author Ian Damion. Yet she is trapped until the birth of Ian's son sets her free and her life skills mould the opportunity to build self-esteem and create a new life of independence.

The author spent 10 months writing and researching Lori, Runaway Wife. Part of Dmitriev's research was her experiences as a juror in the trial of a man arrested for attacking his ex-wife, torturing her all night, and raping her with the neck of a wine bottle.

"Education gives women as well as men greater freedom to make better and more desirable choices," says Dmitriev. "For women especially, an education that prepares them for a marketable skill gives them freedom -- the chance to leave a bad relationship with the knowledge they can support themselves and their children independently."

If Lori Becker did not have any skills, stresses Dmitriev, she never would have gotten a job as a nanny which provided the means of escape -- the first step in finding freedom, independence, self-confidence, and a new fulfilling life.

Born in Shanghai, China in 1918, Dmitriev moved with her family to Vancouver, Canada, and as an adult settled in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Dmitriev, was a pioneer in infant learning and early intervention for special needs children and received national recognition for her Model Preschool Program for young children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities.

Over a period of 15 years she traveled widely giving lectures and workshops in 40 cities in America and 11 foreign countries including Australia, England, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Russia and Spain.

Dmitriev has written numerous professional articles, seven books on parenting, education and child development, and three other romance novels, Wedding Belle, Five Magic Words and Stolen Bride.

Valentine Dmitriev graduated from high school at age 15, earned a BA from the University of Washington at age 19, and subsequently earned her master's in education and PhD from the University of Washington.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

About the Author
Born in China and raised in Canada, Valentine Dmitriev settled in Seattle, Washington and spent 32 years working with normally developing youngsters as well as with the disabled and mentally impaired infants and preschool youngsters. A pioneer in special education, she published five books before taking an early retirement and moving to a retirement cottage in New Jersey where she has published two novels in the past two years. http://www.ValentineDmitriev.com

Love, Romance and Revenge Film Seek Investors

Some dreams are big enough to share. When I was 12 years old and I wrote a poem for my mother as a Mother's Day gift, it was the beginning. When other people daydreamed about being their favorite TV or film character, I would invent my own character and totally change the story. The first short story I wrote was the first time my soul really breathed and I found my place in the world.

Since then there have been many stories. Each had their place. Each taught me something new about myself and the world. In the 1990's I wrote Never Can Say Good-bye. Me being me, I sent it to my favorite actress Katherine Hepburn. I wanted her to star in it as Amanda. I got two very nice notes from her, saying that she though it was wonderful, but she had retired. Life and other challenges changed my life's path for a while.

Three years ago my life changed again. I was a big fan of Days of Our Lives since Dark Shadows ended, but the writing had gotten so bad that the show was unwatchable. Me being me, I knew I could do better. I started writing alternative storylines and posting them on the NBC Days of Our Lives boards. It was just to be snarky. But it actually turned into something. I had people from around the world asking me to finish the story. So I did.

I didn't get the head writer gig, but it did start me writing script again. I created Operation Home Base after talking to a friend who used to work at Red Cross. She was one of the workers who took and received messages for military personnel. Although what she did wouldn't sustain a series, it was a starting point. I combined the concepts behind some of my favorite series like MASH and NCIS, but it wasn't enough. OHB had to be more. When you serve, it is not a single individual who is in harms way; it is everyone who loves them.

Once the pilot and first season Bible were finished, I started looking for a production company to partner with me. Through a series of coincidences and synchronicity I learned that I’m good at producing. I am a natural scrounge and networker. It is what prompt me to create Cosmos Productions.

Never Can Say Good-bye was good script back in the 1990‘s, but after rereading it I realized I could do better. I rewrote it. As a person I’ve grown a great deal, which has made me a better writer. Never Can Say Good-bye has become a story of love, romance, forgiveness and second chances.

We have all these amazing people already attached to Never Can Say Good-bye. What we don't have is the financing. We have joined with Kickstarter to prime the pump for our financing. I am asking for your help to make this happen. The minimum is a dollar. The incentives start at 25.00. If you know of anyone who has the ability and desire to create good entertainment, please share this email and links.

A Message to Rick Snyder

Governor Rick Snyder
P.O. Box 30013
Lansing, Michigan 48909

Greetings Mr. Snyder,

You sent me a nice form letter. No doubt you or your staff thought it would be enough to silence myself and the many others you sent it to. It’s not what you say, but what you do that reveals who you are. You are bad for the people of Michigan.

Your budget doesn’t break bad habits, it lines the pockets of your good old boys club and corporations, who have created the financial crisis in Michigan by outsourcing jobs. The fiscal reality is that you have chased away an industry that was bringing hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of good paying jobs to the state.

In two years, the Film Incentive program had a 6 to 1 profit margin for the state. It was profitable with tax revenue, good paying jobs, it supported local businesses, and made the state look good internationally for both tourism and investment. But it was bad for the good old boys club. They couldn’t just pay minimum wage and withhold benefits and still keep quality workers. They would have been forced to compete by paying a living wage and benefits.

Also new money means diversifying the power base. The broader the base the stronger the structure. But a broad base also means sharing power, wealth and control. All of which you and buddies are fighting to prevent even if it means destroying the state in the process.

If you hadn’t attacked the film incentive program, I would be wrapping up my first feature film. It’s a 7 million dollar project, most of which was going to be spent in the state.. I would be paying business taxes, payroll, and buying locally. Michigan, specifically Traverse City, Manistee, Michigan State University and several business, including the Henderson Castle would have been shown in a very positive light to an international market. Instead, many of the people I would have hired are unemployed or under employed, including myself.

I am still looking for financing. Never Can Say Good-bye will be shot in Michigan, but only because so many people put their faith in me and it. I won’t let them down. However, the TV series, Operation Home Base, along with the tax revenue, jobs, support for local business and the good PR is going to Oklahoma. Once it hits the air waves, I’m going to make sure everyone knows why I took the project out of Michigan and exactly who is responsible.

Your actions have qualified you for a very special honor from the people of Michigan. Seven Governors have been impeach. The people of Michigan are going to add your name to that list. You and your buddies are corruption and selfishness as basest level. You don’t care who your hurt or how many people’s lives you destroy. The only thing you care about is power and money.

The people of Michigan are not complacent. Your actions have mobilized us. We are standing together against you, those who vote with you and all you stand for. We are the people of Michigan and we are not for sale.

The Twelfth Insight

Until You Walk the Path, You Don’t Know Where it Goes will be hosting author and therapist James Redfield on April 29 at 5 pm eastern. Redfield will be talking about his new novel, Twelfth Insight.

James Redfield self-published his first novel in 1993, the immediate groundswell of enthusiasm from booksellers and readers made The Celestine Prophecy one of the most successful self-published books of all time.

Since 1994, when Warner Books published The Celestine Prophecy in hardcover, this adventure parable about a spiritual journey to Peru became one of modern publishing's greatest success stories. According to Publishing Trends, The Celestine Prophecy was the number one international bestseller of 1996, and spent over three years on The New York Times bestsellers list. In 1996, an eagerly awaited sequel, The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision, which also became an instant bestseller, joined The Celestine Prophecy. The two books spent a combined seventy-four weeks on The New York Times list, making James Redfield the best-selling hardcover author in the world in 1996, as cited in BP Report (January 1997). The Celestine series of adventure parables continued in 1999 with the publication of The Secret of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight (Warner Books).

Redfield's contributions to environmental and humanitarian causes is extensive, and has resulted in Humanitarian of the Year awards from Habitat for Humanity and the International New Thought Alliance, and in Wisdom Media Group's WorldView Award. He has joined Marianne Williamson and Neale Donald Walsch to promote nonviolent principles in the political system in an initiative called the Global Renaissance Alliance. And in 1997 Redfield was awarded the Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Senate at the XXIII Pio Manzu International Conference in Rimini, Italy. Pio Manzu is a nongovernmental arm of the United Nations headed up by Mikhail Gorbachev.

In the spring of 2004, principal photography began on an independent feature film based on The Celestine Prophecy. James Redfield partnered with Barnet Bain in cowriting the screenplay before they teamed up with coproducers Terry Collis and Beverly Camhe to take the international bestseller from page to screen. The movie is slated for a 2005 release.

Tune into http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theresachaze on to learn more about The Twelfth Insight from its author James Redfield on April 29 at 5 pm eastern. The phone lines and chat will be available for those who wish to participate. The phone number is (347) 324-3745.

Until You Walk the Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes is an interactive internet radio show, which takes a broader look at the topic of spirituality. Instead of focusing on the religious aspects of life, it delves into how our spirits inspire us to be our best and highest selves. The goal is to give a venue to those who wish to share their inspiration, their wisdom and their courage. By sharing our experiences, we not only give encouragement others to reach for their dreams, but to also help

Redistributing Wealth by Stealing Land from Children to create a Golf Course

Benton Harbor just has to follow the money to understand the method behind the Emergency Financial Manager.

Al Pacholka sponsored the EFM bill. He is the representative from Benton Harbor. He is also a former VP of one of the developers of the golf course that they have been trying to put on the Jean Clock Park site. He is also a former staffer for Congressman Fred Upton, who is part of the Whirlpool family.

Whirlpool has been trying since the 1980's to get the $500 million 530 acre public/private land development, which would include Jean Clock Park. It would include a golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, luxury condos, mansions and a few affordable homes. The local government and the people of Benton Harbor stood in their way.

Benton Harbor is one of the first cities taken over. Suddenly, the local government no longer has any power. Gee, it doesn't take a psychic to see what's coming next. I wonder if Jack knows that he is contributing to the destruction of land that was a gift to the children and families of Benton Harbor from a grieving family as a memorial for their daughter. So is he so hard-hearted that he only cares about money like Snyder, Pacholka, and Upton?

For those outside Michigan who think this isn't your problem, so you don't feel the need to help—think again. Michigan isn't the only state who has a dictatorial governor nor will Snyder be the last if his policies are allowed to stand. You can either help us stop this in our backyard or fight it in your own front yard. The choice is yours.
