Friends, Brothers, and Sisters,
Personal Growth Alternatives is looking to expand and manifest community in new and interesting ways. Please check out Personal Growth Alternatives Healing Center Update Bulletin! This bulletin will be updated periodically to encourage dialogue and feedback between interested practitioners and myself. I apologize for not getting back to some of the people who did respond from my last newsletters. I have been healing from some of my own health issues and have become backed up with many business activities. Please be patient. I will get back to you.
Soon my website will have a new section called "Manifesting Community Cooperation Network" on the home page. This will be a different type of link service. Organizations and individuals with similar visions of community cooperation will be invited to submit their websites and purpose to me for review, dialogue, and feedback. My mission, vision, and purpose will be updated in the coming weeks to reflect this link service. The main premise is non-competition. This paradigm is essential to be part of this network. Abundance rules, scarcity fools! More to come….
Please read this message carefully as the FREE Manifesting Community Listings have changed for the better!! The listings are now separated by dated, ongoing, and classified listings. Directions are on my website and on this newsletter. This will provide more control over where listings should go and allow people to enter listings all the time. It will also free me up from administrative duties so I can concentrate on my passions. You will need to put an end date on the event if it is ongoing or classified and then re-enter the listing when it expires. All listings will be automatically updated as dates pass by and as new dates are added. All events will be in date chronological order.
The Holistic Integrative Breathing Part II Cd's are in!!! Please go to the Holistic Integrative Breathing CDs below to get more specifics.
There will be a featured article every month that will be different from my articles in Yoga Living Magazine. You are welcome to offer me feedback on any of my articles. All of my articles can be accessed on the achieved article list on my website.
The table of contents will take you wherever you want to go in my newsletter or directly to my website. Please take special notice of the free lectures, Reiki shares, and support groups that I support and/or offer. And, as always, if you like the work I do please pass it along to people you care about. I am grateful for any referrals that come my way. I am accepting new clients for integrated psychotherapy in all of my locations and encourage people to deepen their process through the workshops that I offer.
Get outside and enjoy the energy of spring! Show and extend your love all year long!
Peace and Love,

Now more than ever it is important to commit to ourselves. I have experienced how easy it is to get thrown off balance and off center by the energies of the world and the universe. These are accelerating times of change. Fear is generated many times by the different vibrations of unfamiliar energies. Like anything else, when we get triggered or blindsided it can trigger and make us more vulnerable with our unresolved shit. This in turn can open the door to familiar ways of numbing our pain and the fear of the unknown. Oh, by the way, we all have unresolved shit. It's just a matter of the degree of the stench and our reaction to it. So what does it mean to really commit to ourselves? First and foremost it means we have to be more diligent and persistent with our process. Notice I did not say do more!
The bottom line is we are all in this together. In order for us to evolve as a species we have to stay grounded and manage ourselves. Change happens from the inside out. If we allow change to happen from the outside in we give away our power. So in order to come from a place of power, compassion, forgiveness, and love, we need to be diligent and persistent in staying present, grounded, and purposeful. This means continuing to do our work and getting clear on taking action on our life's purpose. Nothing is finished as long as we are in bodies. It also means sticking with a discipline that promotes being present and mindful. Once again, these are accelerating and important times. Please join me in helping us evolve to a higher consciousness. It starts with me and it starts with you. We are not alone!
Personal Growth Alternatives Healing Center Update Bulletin!
As I shared in my last newsletter I am looking for committed healers who share in my vision. My intention is to find a core group of people (3-5), to create and manifest the beginnings of a healing center under the umbrella of Personal Growth Alternatives in the Main Line area. Presently that area is pretty broad. As more people share their ideas and intentions with me, it will become clearer where to look for space. Much of this year will be a fact-finding and brainstorming year with the intent on moving into a space in 2007. I hope to have a more detailed position paper for review by early summer. I am welcoming all interested practitioners for an open dialogue until a core group organically manifests itself. Commitment of vision and purpose is of paramount importance. We are not just sharing space and I am not a landlord renting space out. So this is an intimate process of getting to know one another.
I am currently thinking of the center being a combination of profit and non-profit. I don't specifically know what that would look like yet but given our state of economic complexities, having both entities may be the most flexible way to go especially if the non-profit sector happens to be partially or fully grant funded. All options are being left open until more clarity of possibilities are explored. This is a community-oriented project. The goal is to start off small and grow the center through the needs of the holistic community. The core group should be able to work together in healing clients through emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and energetic approaches. We will truly focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Please feel free to email me or call me (office) 215-658-1093, or (cell) 609-332-4663 to participate in an open dialogue and brainstorming. You do not need to be a practitioner to participate in this process. I need to hear from as many people as possible. All voices are important! If I do not get back to you quickly please know that your response is important and that I am frequently out of town and busy trying to answer all my emails and phone calls.
So let the fun begin!
Peace and Love,
Rusty

The Truth And The Matrix Revisited
This article speaks to the many energies swirling and promoting chaos as people contract in fear around the globe. It need not be that way. We just have to learn how to work with the energies and take care of ourselves. Now more than ever we must master our disciplines to stay centered during these tumultuous times. For many of us there is no turning back. Truth is truth, at least the truths we can experience in human form. There are, of course, truths of spirit that eclipse our worldly phenomenon. Before I continue I would like to acknowledge the book that inspired parts of this body of work. The book is called, The Journey to you: A Shaman's Path To Enlightenment by Ross Heaven. I have found it to be enlightening and pertinent to our times. The part I am referring to is subtitled, The Truth And The Matrix in chapter two.
For those of you familiar with Nemo and the Matrix movie trilogy this will be familiar ground. Use your imagination as I draw the parallels and metaphors from the "fictional" movie to our present world. The Matrix is the grid of illusion. What we see is not really what is real. What is real is beneath the surface. In essence, we have been sold a bill of goods, or brainwashed if you will. "In the linear world we have created, we have generated many specialisms and given birth to a long list of 'experts'. Now we do not need to heal ourselves as we once did, or to take personal responsibility for our own well-being. We turn instead to doctors who we expect to 'heal' us, to policemen, lawyers and politicians who will enforce the social dream for us according to the ethics our society has, almost randomly, chosen to live by. We do not need to exercise our own sense of what is right. Our psychiatrists and scientists define what is real and what is fantasy. Our TV sets and journalists interpret the wider world for us. And our priests stand before us to decide the words and the will of god, if, indeed, She is deemed to exist at all. We have placed a million intermediaries between us and our direct experience of life in all of its manifestations – and every time we turn to one of them, we give away our power and accept the dreams of someone else" (Heaven, 2001).
I say don't let them. Think for yourself. Heal yourself. Commit to yourself. Dream a different dream. Don't let the energies of the matrix unground your truth! Stay the course. Now that's a familiar phrase… except this time it will equal integrity and not war. "When it comes right down to it, there is nowhere else to look, no consistent external reality we can subscribe to which is unchanging and universally true, and no one else who can answer for us. Whether we look for answers in the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual world, we are only ever what we belief ourselves to be, or else we are the dream of someone else. As Castaneda tells us in 'A Separate Reality': 'The world is whatever we perceive, in any manner we may choose to perceive'" (Heaven, 2001).
This is where the power of community becomes so important. In order to walk the path of our truth we need support. It is easy to get swept up in the energies of the mainstream matrix and lose ourselves in another's dream. It helps if together, we dream another dream. One based on truth, compassion, love, forgiveness, integrated spirituality and collective cooperation. "Colin Wilson, in his book, 'The Outsider', estimates that only 4 percent of people can live with the tension of being both a part of and outside of society at the same time, living within the matrix but knowing there is more, sensing that there is something wrong with reality but not knowing what it is" (Heaven, 2001).
It won't necessarily be easy but we can learn to work with the energies that oscillate between the matrix and the truth. Remember fear is not real and truth and Love is real. We can choose to heal ourselves and extend it to the world and universe. And so I ask you how important is our role as nonconformist people? "If they can manage to do so, these people fulfill a vital function for us all as the innovators, the pioneers, the creative individuals, the urban shamans, who are able to shift our collective consciousness through the power of unorthodox thought and a willingness to explore new realities. But many – the drop outs, the burnouts, the isolated, the teenage suicides – fail to cope with the colossal existential task of recreating and redefining their lives and their worlds each and every day. And even those outsiders who succeed for a while – Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Van Gough, Hemingway, James Dean, Kurt Cobain – risk literal as well as psychic death in doing so. It is a perilous path we embark upon when we choose to live our own personal truth" (Heaven, 2001).
And so remember I said that for many of us there is no turning back. There is no time to hide or procrastinate. Please join me. Let's manifest a community of no turning back. We can support each other in becoming heroes of ourselves and each other and walk the path of truth, Love, and possibility. "A person becomes a Hero when he decides to take the journey, painful and disturbing though it may sometimes be, in order to discover the new truths that will help him to create meaning in his world. The Journey, in fact, is what makes him a Hero, instead of someone who ignores the calling of the quest and opts in to the social mythology of the majority worldview" (Heaven, 2001). Indeed there are more of us than we think. We just have to reach out and find each other. Then we can truly support each other in changing our perceptions from the inside out and take a stand for healing and Love. Then we will experience authentic change. "It is an experience captured elegantly by T. S. Eliot in the poem, 'Little Gidding':
- We shall not cease from exploration
- And the end of all our exploring
- Will be to arrive where we started
- And know the place for the first time" (Heaven, 2001).
