QUOTE OF THE MONTH:
"Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things, whate'er you may believe.
There is an inmost center in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness; and around,
Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in,
This perfect, clear perception - which is truth.
A baffling and perverting carnal mesh
Binds it, and makes all error; and to know
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape,
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without."
-- Robert Browning, from "Paracelsus"

OPENING LETTER
Dear Subscribers,
I hope you are all enjoying your holiday. This season reminds
us, as Robert Browning's poem quoted above so beautifully
states, that the light, truly God, is WITHIN all of us. All our
potential, our splendor, our love, and all we hope to achieve
in this world, awaits us right inside. We have far more to give,
we are far more creative, we are far more capable, than we
have dared to dream. It is not a matter of gaining knowledge.
Nor finding a pathway inside. Nor going outside. But rather
finding a way to let out what is already there,
inside each and every one of us.
Let this beautiful time of year remind you that the light is within.
Believe in it. The kingdom of God is here, now. Not
in some distant time and place. Rather inside everyone. Let it radiate.
Do you want health and healing? If you believe strongly enough,
and allow yourself to become a channel for it, you would
enjoy whatever it is you want. There is no magic to healing.
There are no special powers. No special techniques are needed.
You don't need to go to anyone. Just sit still. Ask, and you shall
receive. I do my best not to ask for specifics. When I pray for
myself or my clients, I simply ask for the Divine Healing Light
of God to radiate throughout their bodies and lives. For the person to
awaken to the truth and clarity and health that is already inside of them.
Everyone can do the same. Why not begin a daily practice today?
Wishing all of you special blessings this Christmas and a wonderful
transformative New Year,
Timothy Long

PS. For some people, for varying reasons, holidays can
be very lonely, painful and depressing times. Pick up the phone
and call someone who might feel this way. Reach out. Go visit
someone who is elderly, alone, etc. Think of your neighbors,
relatives, estranged family members. And if you feel this way,
and you have no one calling or visiting you, feel free to call
me anytime. I have known what it is like in life to be totally
at the end of your rope with no one around, no one we really
trust to call. So this is my service to anyone who ever feels
this way, during the holidays, or anytime of year.

WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader
and deeper than anyone could have imagined.
See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint
her toe nails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time,
even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca - age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving
cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your
French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she
takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing,
you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and Daddy
are like that. They look gross when they kiss,"
Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop
opening presents and listen,"
Bobby - age 5
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with
a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God
makes both kinds of them."
Jenny - age 4
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends
even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the
people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the
only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore,"
Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone
else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - Age 5
"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine - age 5
"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still
says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 8
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left
him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her
old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4
"I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only
picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister
because I love her."
Bethany - age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down
and little stars come out of you."
Karen - age 7
"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she
doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it.
But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.
People forget..."

RIDING TANDEM
At first I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of
the things I did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or
hell when I die. He was out there sort of like the president. I
recognized His picture when I saw it, but I didn't really know Him.
But, later when I recognized my higher power, it seemed as
though life was rather like a bike ride, but it was a tandem bike,
and I noticed that God was in the back helping me pedal.
I don't know just when it was that He suggested we change
places, but life has never been the same since, life with my Higher Power,
that is. God makes life exciting!!! When I had control, I knew the way.
It was rather boring and predictable. It was the shortest distance between
two points. But, when He took the lead, He knew a delightful long-cut, up
mountains, and through rocky places, and at breakneck speeds. It was all I
could do to hang on!!! Even when it looked like madness, He said, "PEDAL !"
I worried and was anxious and I asked, Where are you taking
me?" He just laughed, but didn't answer, and I started to learn and trust. I
forgot my boring life and entered into a new adventure. And when I'd say,
"I'm scared," He'd lean back and touch my hand.
He took me to people with gifts that I needed, gifts of
healing, acceptance, and joy. They gave freely of their gifts to me to
take on my journey, our journey, God's and mine. And we were off again.
He said, "Give these gifts away, they're extra baggage, too
much weight." So I did, to people we met along the way, and I found the
more I gave away, the more I received, and still our burden was light.
I didn't trust Him at first, in control of my life. I thought
He'd wreck it. But God knows bike secrets. He knows how to make it
bend to take sharp corners, jump to clear high rocks and fly through scary
passages. And I'm learning to shut up and pedal in the strangest places.
Plus, I'm beginning to enjoy the view and the cool breeze on my face,
with my delightful and constant companion, my Higher Power.
And when I'm sure I can't do any more, He just smiles and says,
"PEDAL !"

MORE HEALTH TIPS:
***Be aware of color in your life. The clothes you wear, the sheets
you sleep in, the colors your home and office is painted. Color
is vibration. We are vibration. Colors affect us. People that wear
black all the time are depressing their energy and immune systems.
Use calming, peaceful colors in your bedroom. Wear healing colors, etc.
***Therazyme Trauma is wonderful for clearing congestion, mucus,
junk, out of the body. Use it if you have the flu, an operation,
an injury, or simply to clear out your body. Take it between meals
on an empty stomach. Only people with ulcers or very irritated
stomach linings should avoid using it. It is high in protease.
If you do have ulcers or an irritated digestive lining, use Therazyme
Stm to clear in up. I like using Stm along with the Aloe Caps for this
problem.
***Are you pregnant? Have small children in the house? Play classical
music in the background. It is very calming, healing, and will raise
intelligence. This is also true for adults.
***Want joy and love in your life? Good health?
acquire up Ballroom and Social Dancing. Involve your children too.

Try visiting a Unity church near you. All spiritual faiths
are invited. I have been to some of these services
and different classes that they give and they are quite
wonderful. Every congregation is a bit
different.
