Sending Out an S.O.S.We all know what to do if we get stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean: put a message in a bottle and throw it out to sea. Then begin to pray. The action comes first, because we need to do all we can do before we ask for help. Monica and I have been engaged in a service which turns this strategy on its head. In the old scenario, the one who needs help throws out the message. We, on the other hand, throw out a helpful message, hoping it might wash up on some distant shore in time to help a person who can benefit from it. Help comes in many forms, maybe even to someone who never would have thought to seek it. It can be as simple as provoking a welcome smile. Tell me you've never needed that. Other times, it comes just as a friend's dilemma is on your mind, reinforces your idea for how to assist.Occasionally, we receive an email from a Seedlings reader telling us how a story has arrived in a timely fashion in their life, coinciding with a larger issue they were dealing with. We humans are in a key position to be material conduits for spiritual assistance.Coinciding? There are no coincidences. God works in mysterious ways, creates, or takes advantage of anything that might assist one of his children. Countless celestial hosts hover around us, sometimes planting seeds in our minds that will one day be fruitful in a life, sometimes harvesting that fruit to share with someone else never once even encountered by the farmer. The act is ours, the consequences God's. And small acts can have huge impacts.To be of service. That is the engine of a spirit driven life. What Monica and I offer is just another service. If it's useful... wonderful. If it's not, nothing has been lost; and who knows what the future may hold? You're free to use it one day or not, as needed.But we implore you to join in this service. Please broadly spread any story that touches you; there may be someone, somewhere who will find it through a friend, on a bulletin board, in a church flyer or in the local paper. It might just fill a need in someone's life. And of course, once these stories leave the garden, they are feral, owned by no one, free to be translated, transformed, restated, quoted from... use your imagination. I know we do.Spiritual Opportunities Surround us.

Wings is watercolor artist Karen Haughey's tribute to Kahlil Gibran. Karen has been an intuitive artist and author for over forty years. Quietly observing life since early childhood, she began reading Kahlil Gibran's books, author of The Prophet, as early as the age of ten, as well as pursuing an interest in freehand drawing and painting.One of his quotes in particular has always spoken clearly-Art is one step from the visibly known toward the unknown.Deeply personal, inward visions began appearing to Karen in 1984, and continue to translate into etheric paintings to this day.Kahlil Gibran was born in 1883 in Lebanon, and passed away in 1931 at the age of 41 in New York City. He was a philosopher, author, and artist that gave spiritual inspiration, while expressing his personal visions through his magnificent art. His books contained a great reservoir of intelligence, insight, intuitive cognition, and beauty, while expressing the meaning of life that most seem to overlook in everyday society.One of his most familiar books, The Prophet, was published in 1923, and has been translated into more than 100 languages. One of the author's personal favorites, Sand and Foam, is a book of aphorisms written by Gibran in 1926. Some of his original artwork is placed within the archives of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which the author had the great honor of viewing in 1991. Says Karen, "If I had the ability to travel backward in time, Gibran would be the person I would most love to have a conversation with."

Could there be some substance to the tales of yore, of the hints through ancient maps and mythology? Dan Weiss reveals the transcripts of private conversations with the shadowy head of a secretive sect devoted to some of the most fabled mysteries: the hollow earth, the Holy Grail and the Holy Lance that pierced the breast of Christ. Ritter Von X confirms the documented evidence that even Hitler and his henchmen were convinced that an entrance to the hollow earth existed. If the transcribed interviews were all this book contained, that would be value enough for the inquisitive reader. But Dan has also gifted us an account of his lifelong search for truth in many forms: spiritual truths, political truths and verities squelched by those in authority. His coming of age begins in Vietnam, as a naive and idealistic volunteer soldier in the nation's battle against encroaching communism. His experience sets him on a course that changes his life. The reader of this searingly honest book inhabits the restless mind of Danny Weiss, an Explorer Extraordinaire whose passion for the purest answers to eternal questions illuminates every page. Danny takes us on a sidecar ride through his life-warts and all-to arrive at a more perfect understanding of what an uncompromising search for personal revelation looks like.

This book about prayer, forgiveness, and healing is inspired by The Song Of Prayer, a 22-page extension of the principles of A Course In Miracles. Jesus teaches that prayer is the greatest gift God gave us at our creation. Healing and forgiveness are useful temporary tools used to undo duality, but true prayer is eternal.
