The Conscious Connection - Spring 1998
The Newsletter of Rebirth International
RBI NEWS
Thank you for your support! The fund raising program was so successful that we not only bought the property, but have some seed money for the Public School Breathing Project. We not only have the waterfall property and another property for vision quests, but we also have a Training Center facility, in town, and a natural health food - book store and restaurant.
Your continued support through memberships and gifts will keep these projects moving. It would be good if we can pay off the mortgage of $108,000 by the end of the year.
Rebirthers Wanted
So I'm looking for a good experienced Rebirther - Breathworker for teaching school teachers and principles, etc. Having been a teacher in the public schools is ideal qualifications, but not required. However, having enough self esteem to work comfortably in the academic world is essential.
With the resources of the Training Center here in Walton we can easily subsidize a good Breathworker until the school system creates a budget for us. We are not only developing interest in elementary and secondary schools, but also in colleges and universities.
A related project is Holistic Departments at University hospitals. Salaries are already available for full time Rebirthers in hospitals. Ideal qualifications are an RN or masters degree or pH.
The Walton Rebirthing Community
Now that I am in one place and plan to stay here until I reach certain goals, I am upgrading the quality of the whole Rebirthing Movement in the U.S. as well as around the world. I'm building a model here in Walton, NY. This model will change the world when the Rebirthing - Breathwork leaders from other countries come here to study the model. Please schedule yourself now!
Susan Alden is the new director of Rebirth International. She has helped me construct the new standards for quality in Breathwork and certification program. Please ask for a copy if you are interested.
Rebirth International will build a list of qualified Breathworkers in every state and country.
We are going to build an organization of Rebirthers-Breathworkers that can be trusted. Breathworkers who have proper training, who have real ability, and who have not only personal discipline, but who are willing to accept the discipline of the team that makes a conscious, enlightened organization possible. This means that you have to participate regularly at the RBI Training Center in Walton to be a listed RBI Certified Rebirther-Breathworker.
I feel that the Rebirthing-Breathwork movement is ready for this. For over 20 years, aberrant emotional problems coming from birth trauma, the parental disapproval syndrome, the death urge, poverty consciousness, etc., prevented a conscious organization from evolving. Every attempt on my part was ripped apart by the emotional problems of the participants.
Susan Alden represents the new breed of Breathworkers. She has been kicking around the ideas of Rebirthing in her mind and life for 20 years. Although she has just recently become a successful Rebirther, she is no stranger to the death urge or the infantile power games that Rebirthers play while they are in the process of making the words "spiritual enlightenment" more than a shallow intellectual concept.
I have been waiting for 20 years until the Rebirthing-Breathwork movement produced some true comrades. Until enough "spiritual adults" have developed, trying to maintain an organization has been little more than group therapy - destructive to me and everyone we tried to serve. The real world is a mental hospital and needs some enlightened healers, not just healees pretending to be healers. All healing is temporary until you heal death - unraveling the birth-death cycle in human consciousness is basic to healing.
This is not something you can put into words - only an intuitive person can recognize another intuitive person. Most people (Rebirthers or not) cannot even stand to be present with themselves, much less in a group.
The ideal of Divine Equals working together democratically is still an ideal worth working toward until it becomes a more common reality - true spiritual community.
My experience is that organizations just don't work without spiritually enlightened people. This was the goal of the original certification program in 1975. That attempt failed simply because it takes time for people to develop spiritual maturity. The Rebirthing-Breathwork movement was too young. Without an adequate ratio of spiritual adults, spiritual communities automatically self destruct. And they should because the destruction is an enlightening process for all involved.
So I'm trying again 23 years later. We shall see what is real. I'm curious about the real results of the movement 23 years later - what have we actually accomplished?
If there are enough like minded souls out there, it will come together naturally.
The Walton Training Center
I'm happy to report that the staff who are now in Walton, NY with me are the best I have ever had. Susan Alden, Isabelle Grandidier, Heike Strombach, Paul Burton, Tony Borysewicz, and local supporters like Lora Colucci, Wendy Jayvanti, and Donna Calabrese.
The RBI Training Center offers high quality trainings every week. It has been a full time residential Training Center every week since 1974. Now, this international Training Center is in Walton, NY. You can come for a week long training, a three week training, a year long training, a three year training, or a forever training.
I have never thought or taught that one week of training is enough to make a successful Rebirther. I have always offered the training in weekly installments. Come as often as you need to. People have to work with the ideas until they master them and then their understanding opens to absorb so much more from me. My way of training has always been by doing. It is long term training based upon real results and mastery, not artificial theory. It is based on mature mutual respect and love coming from truth.
You can't train intuition, you can only plant it and watch it grow like a flower. It can be destroyed without care and cultivation, but no one can force it to grow. I am an expert at guiding people into the inner realization of their intuition and personal connection to Infinite Intelligence.
Then there is the One Year Seminar program. It is the ultimate training for enlightened, loving, and prosperous human beings. I am developing a team of OYS leaders as well as organizers.
It is the best training program for good Rebirthers. It is a one year training. I've been leading them all over the world since 1974. All the trainers at RBI participate in several One Year Seminars - in New York State, Eastern States, and around the world.
Heike Strombach, my chief trainer, also has a very successful RBI center in Wipperfurth, Germany, and is a Globe Trotter. She leads trainings and One Year Seminars around the world every year. RBI needs more trainers with enough self esteem and imagination to live this creative lifestyle. If you don't have the self esteem and the prosperity consciousness to live your dreams, I suggest that you move to Walton and study with us until you do. You don't have to give up your present house, you only have to add one here. You can have many homes around the world as Heike, Paul, Isabelle and I have.
RBI is now really cooking in Walton. I always create more clients than Rebirthers can handle everywhere I go in the world. It has been happening in Walton since I've been here last November. Training Breathworkers to consciously handle client relationships has always been the biggest need in the Rebirthing Movement and probably always will be.
Since 1974, I have been trying to keep up with the demand for good Rebirthers. All good Rebirthers are forever creating more business than they can handle. True Rebirthing is the River of Life. It nourishes and heals everyone it touches and attracts everyone who sees it flowing by. Good Rebirthers are self generating. If this were not true, it wouldn't have spontaneously spread to millions of people. Rebirthing is the work of the Holy Spirit. I don't cause it - It causes me.
The Prophecies
I waited until April 98 to produce this newsletter because I wanted to wait to see if any of the Earth changes prophesied for March happened....They didn't.
At one point many years ago I realized the powerful potential of the I Am Alive Now Project to change the prophecies.
I am alive now, therefore my life urges are stronger than my death urges. As long as I strengthen my life urges and weaken my death urges, I will go on living in increasing health and youthfulness.
If the death urges of the unwashed masses have not created the Earth changes already and the death urges are getting weaker, as long as we continue to spread physical immortality ideas and spiritual purification practices, the Earth changes prophecies are pushed further into the future until they are dissolved like personal death urge can be dissolved. Rebirthers - Breathworkers are the spiritual vacuum cleaners of the world. You deserve credit for saving the Planet so far. Maybe God is betting on us to accelerate our work and our results by holding up the destruction until we get humanity living in harmony with divine principles that enable us to win the purification game as a species.
It is clear we are not winning now, and are in danger of running out of grace. However, let's "make hay while the sun shines" and see if we can buy more time until we do actually begin winning the game.
Bear in mind that the number and severity of earthquakes on the Planet has been doubling every year for several years, especially on the ring of fire. The game for saving the Planet is not over yet. Spreading Rebirthing - Breathwork, physical immortality ideas, and spiritual purification practices is important and urgent business. It should be our major preoccupation until we get humanity and the Planet out of trouble.
People are still starving to death every day. People are killed in natural disasters every day from minor Earth changes, and then there is the unnatural disaster of ordinary death which kills 2% of the world's human population every year through disease and death consciousness. Transfiguration and ascension consciousness as well as birth control are necessary to control overpopulation. During one of my most successful trainings last year, most of the trainees were from a group of people practicing Tantra for many years. I actually met couples who had intercourse almost every day for 20 years without having an orgasm for 20 years. It is very great power and is a very practical power for this generation.
Healing & Success
The new booklet I just completed on the immortals is a new tool you can use to push back the death urge and the "Nothing" and to save the Planet. The two pages from the booklet that are in this newsletter will give you a taste. Note details on the order form.
All my books have been doing this since Sondra Ray helped me get the first one into print in 1977 - Rebirthing in the New Age.
It has always amazed me that all Conscious Breathers don't buy and master all my books and tapes. The people that work through all my books and tapes have a more conscious and enjoyable life. Each book and tape is a unique contribution to human knowledge. They make it easier for you to build an enlightened universe for yourself. See what your life is like on the other side of mastering this information. I'd like to experience what our relationship is like after you have mastered this information. My books in print are a bare minimum. What can we together build on this foundation?
What new books can we write after we have digested and mastered the basics? Let's write the Book of Life together. But nothing great will happen without the foundation.
As long as your death urge is killing you, you are in the prison on death row, waiting for your execution. You are condemned, doomed - trapped in the human condition.
Physical immortality philosophy may not make you immortal, but it opens the prison door. It supplies a motive and power to do the practices that clean your energy body - your soul. Physical immortality is part of the basic foundation for a healthy life.
Until you heal the parental disapproval syndrome, you will forever betray the people that you love. Loyalty and trust are not possible. This is why the One Year Seminars are so important. They enable you eventually to stop betraying your friends. Loyalty for one year is a reachable goal. You have to master one year of loyalty to this simple One Year Seminar form of relationship before you can master two years and eternity.
Our loyalty to and support of each other is the real test of love. We have to support not only our spiritual goals, but also our economic and financial goals. Physical survival is still a part of the foundation of spiritual community. Economic security is still a basic human need: food, shelter, clothing, etc.
Rebirth International has been alive since l974. When no one else supported it, I supported it alone. RBI leaders and participants have come and gone. I continue to endure. I am very thankful for the people who have came and contributed what they could. And I am very thankful for the people who are here now - some of them have high quality commitments. We have lots of room for more high quality people in RBI here and around the world. If you'd like to play with us, now is a good time. Come and play! Healers are notorious for neglecting money until it runs their whole life. Successful Rebirthers can only serve so many clients per week. When we have maxed our hours and our fees, then we can increase our income by organizing groups.
It is possible to become financially independent if you have enough participants in your own One Year Seminars.
However, our culture has given us an abundance of multi level marketing companies as the easiest way to become financially independent. If we pick a good company or better yet, 3 or 4 good companies and enroll 3 people per month, in a year or two, we can have a residual income every month that exceeds our expenses. This is financial independence. MLM is a practical way to recreate the money system so that it works for us. Check out my article on Financial Independence in this issue.
You can participate in RBI as a member or on any level that is comfortable for you.
Your support is appreciated and hopefully you will receive more than you give.
