This month, it will be "private in person readings" at the Grand Blanc Comfort Inn from 12noon to 5p.m. This is NOT a psychic fair. This is just us two meeting with you for individual readings. If you book a half hour with me, you get the half hour with Joe, complimentary. We have five slots left. But you must call ahead of time 810-659-6886 to book. You get numerology, astrology, tarot, intuitive, relationship reading and more.

Nice Letters We Get

Hi Maria,

I guess I am the same Lisa you were just telling me about on the phone because I just ordered this CD from. Thanks so much for your help, I pray this works, I have a good feeling about it. God Willing I will lose this weight that's draining me of my vitality and positive outlook!

Thanks Maria! I thank God for your Caring Nature, and for your being a light in an otherwise dark place. Your willingness to help others find their way is a precious gift.

Hello Maria, my name is Ben. I bought a Moldavite pouch from you in February. Well you warned me and ever since my life has been on super fast forward. Unfortunately, I haven't enjoyed the ride. So may question is how do you slow things down? Do I just throw the Moldavite away or do I need another.

Hi Ben – no you do not need another moldavite. Just don't wear it for a while until you are ready for more change. Maria

PS. Or try labordorite which is good for slow change.

Hello Maria,

I see Holly is doing a skit on the Mass. witch trials. Several years ago I did research on the European and American witch trial histories in anticipation of a future book.

Although there is a wealth of info available on the web, I have a bookcase full of these books, including copies of some of the court transcripts. If Holly needs any double checking done, I'd be glad to help out.

Also, if you plan on doing this again in a year or two, let me know if you might want a pamphlet done on the Malleus Malificarum. Have a museum copy of the Latin text which uses the term 'roast' rather than 'burn' a subject alive.

Although it some areas, a compassionate executioner could strangle an-about-to-be-burned-victim, it was the intent of the Pope, the Dominicans and the church to have the accused suffer a long, slow death in order to fully repent for theirs 'sins.' This is just a snippet of the shocking material found in the 'guidebook for witch convictions.'

Glad to see you and Joe are doing so well and living life to the fullest!

Looking forward to seeing you at your Cosmic Conference,
Cheers,
Darlene

Loves Evolution - Rising In A Dream
By Christopher Lawrence Castro

Creativity is the only way to understand life. It is an act of faith and belief which fills it; it is required.

I am left alone at a large round table with a plate of food that has lost its taste four bites ago. A door slams shut and now the house is in total silence. The clouds are folding around my part of the world and I trust that soon my lack of watering the grass and flowers will soon be forgiven. I take a deep breath and close my eyes for a longer second than usual. A warm flame runs up the small of my back, up around my shoulders and into my neck. It only takes another second to acknowledge the source of my pain.

Words have always hurt me more than anything I can think off, even the person who helped themselves to my checking account…a thousand dollars later. But words have always seemed to strike the core of who I am. But there are particular words that maneuver themselves strategically into my spirit like the word dreamer.

But she is right. That is what I am. When we don't move in the direction of our dreams we are only "dreaming".

Dreams like love or anything else is the scent of cinnamon apple, a favorite Glade candle. Its fragrance is light but sensual. It is there but in a few minutes it will be gone. I am a dreamer, full time dreamer in fact and I have never told anyone this. In fact as much as I have hinted no one has ever bothered to say;

"Wake up"

Dreams come true when we decide to be true to them. They have energy unlike any other. Waking up is not always fun because we are faced with another word; Reality. But here the word reality is also filled with invisible energy; the word "reel." Reality is a movie pressed onto an old film reel. It uses our eyes to project the image and our hearts to sit down long enough to watch it. The day I decide to shift from "I would love to write a book" to "I am going to write a book" is the day I will have awaken into another dream.

Shifting the inner statement with powerful words from "I would" to "I will" fuses a power inside our hearts that sends biogenetic currents straight to our spirits.

Love operates with the same principle. Life operates with the same principle. First we must acknowledge the largeness of our dreams, of our love, of our life. Then we take small steps moving just a notch closer downsizing the capacity of it. By chipping away at a dream or a relationship strengthens us so when "it" arrives it will actually look simple, small and do-able.

My dreams usually begin with the end, how it will finish. This is where I have faulted, thinking that in order to begin I must know the end. Basically what I am asking my God for is a guarantee before I even take a single step. Many would say that writing over a thousand pages is a lot more than asking for a guarantee but secretly what I have been asking for is to complete the desire my heart has been yearning for.

I have hungered for my dreams the same way I have hungered for my Soul mates love.

It began as a desire and desire requires that we act upon it if we are to manifest it. Though the word desire is frowned upon in other spiritual practices it is not in the one I exist in, the one that takes our hearts and raises it to live our dreams and our passion. My weakness has always been the instant gratification of things, people and emotions. I have lived for over thirty years this way. But creative love, creative dreams work different than I had anticipated. It requires thought, feelings and courage. I have always been trained not to trust, to second guess my life and talk myself out of living. Now it is time to move into a new part of myself. The kingdom of heaven is inside. Now I am beginning to understand!

Loving my Dreams. Thanks Cobb.

Chris is doing readings at all of the Maria Shaw psychic fairs.

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's who has passed away- could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate. Joe and I had his daughter's Kelly Carlin was a guest on our radio show last year.

A Message by George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side..

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin

Astro News
By Maria Shaw

The full moon September 23 is in the sign of Aries at 0 degrees, a powerful degree and is part of the cardinal climax. This full moon is about your personal power and also bringing your life into balance. Moon (Aries) and Sun (Libra). This is also the Fall equinox; a time of rebalancing; when the balance of light and dark change places. The influence on the Full Moon means we too are shifting in how we direct our energy.

In a recent newsletter I wrote about Venus and mars in Scorpio and how it could be a crazy few weeks/months for relationships. It could be a very good time or a very intense time, depending on your astro chart. This past weekend was intense for many and early this week, a healing time. But many people are making new discoveries about themselves, on a very deep level. Many people are finding that inner child wounds affect their current relationships and even success in life. The astrological energies we have before us now also is part of the Cardinal Cross and climax we have been under this past summer. Think back to the past five months. What have been your greatest challenges? Are you still fighting between your old way of life and a new one? If it has been a challenge to stay focused and calm because of the intense energies, you are not alone. Use your meditations CDs, many of you have bought from my last newsletter offerings. Those were personally picked by me, to help with relaxation during these stressful periods. (See last newsletter for info.)

What ever you have been challenged by or with, are pushing you take action now on this full moon. The full moon in Aries is about taking a new road and putting your thoughts into action. You may feel as if you are on a teeter totter; ready to move upward but then you may push yourself back down again; scared to stay on course because the past is what you know. High in the sky on your teeter-totter, reaching higher, you're not feeling safe or in control. You want to feel grounded with feet firmly planted on the grass again!!!!

But the full moon in Aries is pushing you to get out of your comfort zone and move upward.

The lunar energy this week will uplift and help you reach higher if you are willing to make a decision NOW and take action. I know because I have heard from many of you, that this is a time to make major moves in your lives. They are not easy but many are meant to happen. As I've always said, trust God, because he has a plan for your future. Allow Him to take the wheel on this month's journey.

Have a safe and blessed week. Love, Maria
