Dear
friend,
The
gift of that which triggers the remembrance of Home is not inconsequential, and
I am sure you will agree that it is much needed at this time. The enclosed
issue of Conversations with Raj addresses
the call for Awakening in most relevant ways without distracting one from the
here and now where Vision will reveal the Kingdom of Heaven, which has always
been at hand. That these triggers, these reminders of Reality, remain visible
and available, both to those who are seeking and haven't found as well as those who have, is important to the graceful and unretarded shift of
consciousness called Awakening.
At
the present, you are one of a minority who have become aware of the Raj
Material and/or A Course in Miracles, and having done so, you stand in a
position of facilitating the ease with which others can likewise become aware
of that which triggers the discovery of what they are seeking. To this end, you are needed, like a member of a
bucket brigade passing the "water of Life" from one set of hands to
the next, extending the Father's love in an ongoing gift which seeks nothing in
return, but in having given, has
received.
I
am inviting you to join in extending these materials wherever there is an
inquiring mind by remembering that you are free to copy them and pass them
on—both the printed materials and the audio tapes. I am inviting you, as well,
to replace the transactional element of business dealings—“What do I get out of
it?"—with the joy of knowing what another will get out of it. It is in
this way that you join the brigade of love, establishing "the attitude of
Heaven" on earth—an essential element of Awakening, and an essential
element of this work which is identified by the words, "Northwest
Foundation for A Course in Miracles."
Since
those on the Foundation's mailing list are the only ones who know the value of the Raj Materials and
are therefore the only ones who can extend them, I am specifically inviting you
to remember your significance in that
extension and ask you to make a commitment to the financial support of the
Foundation as well.
I
am aware that some do not like my decision to make all of the Foundation's
activities available at no charge, operating instead on the basis of Gift. I am
also aware that although others don't understand what I'm doing, they are curious,
watching to see what happens. Some have assumed that if it doesn't work, I will
once again set a charge. But while everyone is holding their breath to see what
will happen, nothing is happening. What the Father is extending is not being
extended and the meaning of Gift is lost to the ones watching and waiting as
well as to those whom the "watchers" would bless by their
participation in the extension.
And
so, I need to be very clear on two points:
·
First,
we will not reestablish any form of pricing for the Raj Materials or
Gatherings. They will always remain a
gift.
·
Second,
the Foundation is severely in arrears.
There
is a simple remedy, however: You are one of 1,019 who have asked to be on our
mailing list, and if you and everyone else make a gift of $20 a month for the
next three months the Foundation's monthly expenses will be met and back
payments will be able to be brought current. After that if everyone were to
make a simple contribution of $10 a month, it would keep the Foundation
operational and provide the freedom to then plan and hold much-wanted and
requested Gatherings which it is presently financially unable to do.
In
closing, I extend gratitude to all who have felt inspired to support this work
over the years. Gifts, both large and small, have contributed globally to more
hope-filled lives. I receive the
thanks almost daily in letters of appreciation, but it has been everyone's gifts in this "brigade
of love" which have carried the inspiration in a network of Brotherhood to
those who have expressed their thanks to me. And so, I pass their gratitude on
to you.
