AGNT Annual Conference at La Quinta Resort & Spa Oct. 3–7

The Association for Global New Thought Awakened World Conference 2005 takes place during a rare and auspicious time for the world’s spiritual traditions. There is much we can do to facilitate healing during these days we spend together. A confluence of sacred moments in many different traditions occurs during October of this year. Two strands of time are woven together this fall in a way not seen for decades: The sacred Muslim lunar month of Ramadan and the sacred Jewish lunar month of Tishrei, which includes the High Holy Days and Sukkot, both begin October 3-4. October 4 is the Saint’s Day of St. Francis of Assisi; October 2 is Gandhi’s birthday, and is also Worldwide (Protestant) Communion Sunday. In mid-October, there are important Buddhist and Hindu festivals.

Are You Prepared for Disaster?
by Penelope Young Andrade LCSW

Are you prepared for disaster? When catastrophe strikes far away and the media bring us images of death and destruction we are flooded with feelings: helplessness, compassion, and an urge to do something, anything. If the catastrophe was predictable and/or compounded by human error and incompetence, we may feel compelled to call for large-scale inquiry to improve response systems. At a more subtle level, a distant disaster gives us a unique opportunity to look at our own preparedness.

	In Tune with Hado Giving Up Labels; Noticing the Vibration A TLC interview with Masaru Emoto by Steve Hays Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of The Hidden Messages in Water, was featured in the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know.

	Organic Garden Patch by Jerry Weiss The weather is going to begin cooling (except for the occasional “ Santa Ana ” condition). With the shorter, and generally cooler days, the garden can expand tremendously. The summer varieties will continue producing, but it is time to think about Fall greens. Fall is the most gentle and wonderful time of the year in Southern California . A cooling trend arrives at a slow and steady pace. See Organic Garden Patch Back to Top
	Pilgrimage of the Family of Abraham - Theme of AGNT Wearing turbans, robes, veils, long sidelocks, black coats and prayer fringes, the Abrahamic Reunion caused a stir as soon as they arrived at the airport here this weekend. These twelve Palestinian and Israeli religious and spiritual leaders—men and women, Muslims and Jews, Christians and Druze—traveled for the purpose of forming an organization to promote spiritual peacemaking. Their goal is to work toward peace in the Holy Land. They chose to meet in Istanbul because of its historic significance as a haven for these religions.	The Walk of Abraham A Brief Description by William Ury The purpose of the Abraham Path Initiative is to open up a route in the Middle East retracing the footsteps of the prophet Abraham. Such a route, roughly analogous to the Camino de Compostela in Spain , the journey from Mecca to Medina in Saudi Arabia , or the Lewis and Clark Trail in the United States , is intended to draw travelers from all parts of the world. As the father of monotheism and the spiritual forefather of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, Abraham is the unifying point for over three billion people who consider themselves part of the family of Abraham.
