2003: ISSUE 12 of the Light and Life Journal 118 pages of powerfully connected, spiritually laced narratives.

L&L Express 05: Exploration "Breaking Barriers" This wonderful photograph of the Sound Barrier being broken was an inspiration for entitling this month's Exploration: "Breaking Barriers." When I was a kid, the Sound Barrier was an awesome thing to break! The speed of Sound! Imagine breaking the Sound Barrier. What could be next? In our short lives there have been many such milestones that quickly became part of the everyday landscape. "Been there! Done that," we say. As important and as exhilarating as those many barrier-breaking events were, 20, 40, 60 years ago, the accomplishments seem passe, today. We Humans are curiously eager; always getting ready to break through into some previously forbidden or uncharted territory; take on new roles; dream new dreams; do the impossible; prove the un-provable; and create New Paradigms. "What's next?" We ask.

L&L Express 04: Cosmic Solutions Our "Cosmic Solutions" Major Exploration leads us to investigate universal meanings and worshipful problem-solving, with the reward being the search itself. The quest is ours; search parties are out everywhere. We get guidance from writers and philosophers such as Walter Cronkite, Patricia Diane Cota-Robles, Michael Albert, Sayahda, Ramzi Kysia, Amadon of the Living Love Fellowship, Kirael of the Honolulu Church of Light, the Galactic Federation of Light and others. Also explorations of bio-cell therapy, earth birthing and rebirthing with Kiara Windrider, awakening to spiritual callings with Herlinda Valles, lessons from the Teaching Mission, Surfing for Spirituality, Raymond Wolf on world brotherhood, James H. Young on the peace option, Gerdean transmitting a plethora of personal lessons for metaphysical seekers, and Jest the Facts, featuring a new age adventure with Snake Pleskin.

L&L Express 03: Enlightened Imagination: Our focus in issue 3 is on what we might accomplish with the aid of an Enlightened Imagination. Just as we have helped create the “reality” in which we currently live, we will help build our future reality. It is time to actually put our dreams and visions to pen and paper. We get this sense of immediacy from everyone and everywhere ... from Tribal Elders to dead Mystics; from Archangels and ex-hippies; through channels and receivers to activists and archivists; from the edge of the Universe to the center of your heart ... everyone becoming more sensitive to what’s “in-the-air,” getting a case of psychic goosebumps every so often. We’re coming to grips with the shattering of realities caused by the events of 9-11. “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again.” Perhaps the actions we choose to take will create something better. And perhaps that is the way it is meant to be. Enjoy.
