Beyond "The Secret": problems, solutions, and advanced uses of the Law of Attraction.
The movie "The Secret" has been criticized as being too materialistic. Steve Stone, our presenter this month agrees with that opinion and wishes to dive into that aspect of the topic. "We are finding that the Law of Attraction isn't as easy to apply as we have been led to think", Steve says. "So I would like to lead a discussion, not just give a lecture, about when the L of A works, when it doesn't, and why."
Steve feels that success in the Law of Attraction begins with our beliefs and our ability to change them. Additionally, there is much more to consider rather than just accumulating money, health, or a good relationship. Soul purpose, working in groups, and educating children are other great topics of conversation if we have time.
Steve says he has had a strong draw to the study of the Law of Attraction from the first time he learned of the concept, then called "manifestation". This has led to an intense study of the topic over the last six years to the point where he now sponsors a blog on the subject: Messages From The Old Monk.

August 7th - Common Thread Group
This month we will again start with the meditation at 7pm sharp in the Greenwood Room. It will be a 15 minute meditation (sitting, not standing) in which we will send, as a group, our powerful energy to those in need. If you choose not to be a part of the meditation, please join us at 7:15pm. If you arrive after we have begun the meditation, please quietly join us or remain outside until we have finished.
Corrine Switzer will give a talk about her new book, "The Reality of the Illusion" and her self-healing system, “The Science of Vibrational Medicine”. She created the healing system for each individual to be released from conventional medicine and become the authority in their own health. This information will also provide an understanding with a person’s spiritual nature to help them navigate in life without fear and with purpose. With a personal endorsement of her system by Dr. Norman Shealy, Corrine’s session will also include hands-on demonstrations with some very practical, beneficial information.
"It is now the time in our evolution and existing levels of understanding that we view our health, both mentally and physically; that we are eternal light-beings opposed to temporary carbon-based units on the earth by some cosmic happen-stance.” Corrine says. “The results I have seen with this process are nothing short of miraculous. I am so happy that I am in a supportive environment and I can now offer this to the public."
Currently living in Urbandale, Corrine is an intuitive, medium, Reiki master, LMT, practitioner of the healing arts, and has hopes of expanding her practice into a larger healing center for alternative medicine. Corrine’s background includes psychology, comparative religions and philosophies, and has personally studied with Donna Eden and Carolyn Myss. Most of her travels are dedicated to conventions such as the “Science of Consciousness” in Santa Fe, the A.R.E Edgar Cayce Foundation in VA Beach, and the “What is Enlightenment” salons. She promises this talk to be a very enlightening experience.If you are interested in a personal appointment with Corrine you can contact her at 515-326-4377, or her website at www.csvibrationalwellness.com which includes a great deal of information and a book directory. It is time to step out of the illusion.

July 3rd - Common Thread Group
In many ways our world seems to be turning upside down right now.... with extreme weather conditions, flooding, the price of gas, and the negative news in which we are inundated on a daily basis. It's hard to stay positive and centered!!!! This beautiful group of people brings positive love and light energy to wipe away this illusion we call life! What amazing souls you all are!
It has been suggested that we utilize our wonderfully focused, powerful energy to help the world even more than we currently do at the end of our meetings. We have truly helped others who have been the focus of our healing energies!
So, here's what we would like to do.........
We will still start at 7pm in the Greenwood Room, but we will have our meditation first while we are still fresh and wide awake. At 7pm we will begin a 15 minute meditation (sitting, not standing). If you choose not to be a part of the meditation, please join us at 7:15pm. If you arrive after we have begun the meditation, please quietly join us or remain outside until we have finished.
Our meeting this month will be an open forum. It was suggested last month, that we share some of our own personal metaphysical experiences. From conversations I've had with many of you, I know angels have played huge rolls in some of your lives, and many of you are extremely psychically gifted. We'd love to hear your stories! In order for everyone to share, please keep your stories short and succinct. It should be a fun and interesting evening getting to know each other better. I, also, find that hearing other people talk about their experiences, helps me relate better to my own, building confidence and ridding doubt!

Monday Night Movie - June 16th
We have had a change of plans for our movie this Monday night. We will still meet at 7pm in Waveland Hall, but our movie will now be from The International Conference on Science and Conciousness which takes place in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The movie is "Steven Greer - Cosmic Awareness & Cosmic Cultures: Higher States of Consciousness & Extraterrestrial Relations"
Steven Greer was an emergency room physician who is now working full time on the "Disclosure Project", which is uncovering the information that the "higher powers that be in the world" have kept secret concerning extraterrestrial life.

June 5th - Common Thread Meeting
This month we have a wonderful healer, Barbara Kerns, as our speaker!
Barbara will talk to us about SRT. According to Robert Detzler, "SRT is a meticulous process of researching the subconscious and soul records to discover and release (clear) hidden blocks to health, happiness and spiritual growth." This process was developed (he says "given to") by Mr Detzler from the universe itself. SRT clears away present life negativity as well as that remaining from past lives. SRT raises the soul's level of consciousness and opens doors to our full potential, however, we must still exercise our free will. We must take the responsibility of walking through those doors. In practice, there are two positive results of SRT. First the soul always benefits even if not consciously recognized; second, most people notice improvements in their daily life. Sometimes these improvements are immediate and dramatic; often they are subtle and may take days, weeks, months & sometimes years to manifest. Barbara has worked with this system for 17 years and is still amazed at the results.
Barbara Kerns has been a student of metaphysics since her early teens. She is a graduate of the Science of Mind Course, is a Reiki Master/Teacher, a Spiritual Response Therapy Counselor/Teacher and is certified to teach Spiritual Restructuring. Barbara was introduced to Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT) in 1988 at a First Iowa Dowser's meeting. A new book "Your Mind net" by Robert Detzler was the subject of discussion that day. Barbara purchased a copy and by 1991 had become a serious student of "SRT" earning her Certified Counselor's Certificate, and soon after, qualified as a Certified Teacher. Her training has been under the direction of Robert Detzler personally. Barbara continues to keep her qualifications for consulting and teaching current. You can reach her by phone at 515 289 0518 or by e-mail at bjkerns1@msn.com
Looking forward to seeing you Thursday night at 7pm
Plymouth Congregational Church, Greenwood Room, 42nd & Ingersoll, Des Moines, IA
Fill each day with love and light!

May 1st Common Thread Meeting - "Dealing with (the monster) 'EGO'"
Our May 1st meeting will once again be an open forum discussion, and our topic will be “Dealing with Ego”. How do we overcome it in ourselves? How do we deal with it in others?
Through our tribal conditioning we have learned to listen to our egos and not to our hearts, allowing Ego to control us in business, play, and even in relationships. Let’s look at examples, and then examine the ways to permanently transform “our shadow sides” and allow our hearts to do our thinking.
