I used to be involved with seminar work. It was a time of my life that revolved around intense growth and self-awareness. Following each seminar there would be a celebration. Sponsors of participants, past participants and family would gather just to enjoy the energy. It was always a joyous time, a time of community and fellowship. During the celebration the people who had just completed the basic seminar would be encouraged to sign up for the advanced seminar. There was a $200 savings incentive to sign up that night. Well, a woman who had just completed the basic really wanted to sign up for the next advanced seminar, but she could not afford it. She was a single parent and could barely afford the basic seminar. What she needed was $1,000, and she needed it that night. At some point during the evening, the owner/facilitator of the organization approached her and asked if she was going to do the advanced seminar. She told him she would love to, but she could not afford it. His response was, “So, what are you going to do about it?” Now keep in mind that for the last four days he had been drumming into their heads the idea that “Intention=Results.” He asked her, “What do you want?” She said, “I want to sign up for the advanced seminar tonight.” Then he said, “Think about what your action step needs to be.” Then he walked away, leaving her to fret, and she did.
No one in the room had any idea that this personal drama was unfolding, but there was a huge gift coming to all of us. About 30 minutes later, she had figured it out. Jeff, the facilitator was on the mic and addressing the group. All he said was that someone wanted to speak to us. He handed the mic to her and she told us her story. She asked us to help. When the celebration was over she had over $1400. She reserved her seat for the coming seminar, she gave the rest to their scholarship fund, and everybody in the room learned some very important lessons. She left that evening in tears.
What I learned was that if people understand, they will help. I also had the opportunity to experience what Abraham Maslow described as synergy. There is no good reason for people to not support each other. The competitive and non-supportive nature of our culture is not who we are as souls. We are all in this together. That is our strength and our salvation.

Josepha ext 5170 in answer to Psychic Phillip
Well put Psychic Phillip. What an inspiring article, for more then one reason. The first being that we should help one another. It is not in our “spirit” nature to compete. The other inspiration it bring up for me is that we can bring about what we want if we put our intention and attention on it.
Thank you.
Hi Phillip,
As usual, another great article…..and I agree, I remember my GrandParents telling me years ago…..” Just ask,at worst, all they can do is say no, but you will never know until you ask.”
And, over the years, when I have, brushed aside my PRIDE, and asked for help….I generally receive it.
Once, back in the 70′s during THAT recession, some neighbors had fallen on hard times…the husband worked for manufacturing company International Harvester which was on strike…the longest strike in UAW history to that date…a whopping 9 month long strike…the wife had just had a babygirl,6 weeks old.
We used to have huge block parties in that neighborhood about once per month and we noticed they were not attending, we found out,AFTER ASKING, they had no money to chip in for party treats, etc, and couldn’t even pay their mortgage payment and buy groceries……
Well, long story short,….we all threw another block party, ( actually about 5 blocks total because we ” recruited ” more party goers, again, we ASKED OTHER NEIGHBORS FOR THEIR HELP on different blocks down the street)… to raise money to see this couple and their 5 kids thru the strike…we all raised enough money to pay their mortgage for 4 months….plus stock them up on groceries.
They made it thru the UAW strike..and kept their home…..and WE kept some really nice neighbors and friends….and ,even made new friends and neighbors…
All because we asked.

Thank You, Phillip…..great article…yet…again .
I agree with your article and actually have to credit Mick Jagger when he told us in a song long ago….”you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need!” Good point!
Now I could be kicking back at home and say “I sure could use a Cappucino Moolatte!” I can be pretty sure one will not materialize.
On the other hand if I say “I wish my neighbor would quit giving me dirty looks!” Within a few days an opportunity will arise in which I can help her. Hence, the end of dirty looks. Self interest and the quality of the wish are factors. Needs and wants, know the difference.
Ahhh, you’ve had it peaceful for way too long. Remember all the deep things I would say to you to bring out your inner Ram? Like….”life is a Twinkie”. Among other Scorpio specials. You would literally be bent at the waist like you were going to butt me with your head. Ram on!
OK, I’ll close on my Libra rising and be nice.
Love Ya,
Lorna
