European Tour – Monday and an inspiring day at the conference
May 22. Monday.
Realizing that I had not taken advantage of walking around these beautiful grounds at the Grove, I decided to go out first thing in the morning with my camera and take a walk. I loved it. It was chilly but very peaceful.
I came back in time for breakfast, and caught Bill and Linda Pettit again. Only ate healthy this time, with some strange wet muesli, fruit and yogurt, despite the temptations of bacon and eggs and multi-choices of sausages. Then it was time to pile into the vans to the conference.
I found the speakers today to be much more inspiring. Chip Chipman in particular was so deeply spiritual; the feeling that he communicated was truly beautiful. And George Pransky closed the day with another inspiring talk on levels of consciousness, even though he didn’t call it that.
I was also inspired by three different things concerning the presentation I did on research with Linda Ramus and Elizabeth Lovius.
First I was inspired by my own work, because of what I uncovered by going through the research Tom Kelley and I did with a much closer look. I discovered that with every single mental health variable and well-being variable across two different studies, “innate health via a clear mind” showed up to be a more significant factor then thought recognition, sometimes much more, with one exception being Social Well-Being. That is incredible information for us Three Principles teachers. The fact is, it’s easier to teach Thought Recognition, so most 3P people do it, and it is less easy to teach innate health/our true nature/pure consciousness/its connection to the oneness of all things, so fewer practitioners do it, yet it has been found to be more powerful.
But the other thing that totally inspired me is that Elizabeth is putting together online website that will have all Three Principles resources and research studies listed in it in a very user-friendly way. I’m telling you, I was totally inspired by what she is doing.
The third thing that totally inspired me is a couple of people in the audience during the research breakout–I can only remember Karen McGrath’s name, and I hope I got that right–showed me data from a study they are conducting on the relationship between 3P understanding and various health related issues, and even though they use only a small sample size, 9 out of 11 people showed physical health improvements, sometimes very dramatic changes. Very inspiring. I’m going to see what I can do to have Tom Kelley and I work with them to bring this preliminary data to a peer-reviewed journal. The feeling at the conference today really picked up and became very beautiful.
Then I had dinner with Chip and Jan and Cathy Casey, none of whom I’ve had that much of a chance to hang out with before, and it was really very nice. Except we had now left the Grove hotel and even the Hilton in which we were put felt like a real comedown after the Grove. Any hotel would be.
