WHAT OTHERS SAY:

“I have taken many workshops, but this workshop “Meeting the Mystery of Money” is within my heart as the single most powerful experiential workshop I have taken to date. This 2 day intensive works on a cellular level and has completely regenerated my experience with money. My personal experience with money in the past was not that I held no value toward it. I could see that I was, in fact, not holding enough “value” for myself and my work in the world, where money was concerned. Immediately following the workshop I began to incorporate the “blue pot” into my work. I have doubled my earnings in very little time. In short, my world has been transformed.”
Deborah Cameron, Ontario, Canada

“I rarely sign up for workshops, but I felt these very Earth-connected chosen guides are fulfilling the seed of building a new paradigm community. This workshop brought my fears around money to a higher clarity for release in such a profound way. It then revealed how we can build a trusting community providing much greater awareness and support for each other.”
V. Airisun Wonderli, Charlottesville, VA

“The workshop (intensive) is a unique, experiential and interactive opportunity to discover, explore and transform old patterns/core beliefs that block one from fully experiencing financial abundance in their life. Through this deeper unfolding of personal insights and revelations, one is able to discover what is really going on beneath the surface in creating their financial reality and how those beliefs or attitudes relate to personal creativity and community. Louis and Sandra embody the enthusiasm and inspiration necessary in co-creating a love based approach for both community and finance and provide a safe, nurturing space for participants. This workshop is truly life-changing.”
Patty Snyder, Staunton VA

“The workshop took me to a place of strength and courage. Pushing through the fear of success I have opened my heart to new opportunity of community. Care first of myself was the missing link. I have a better understanding of the dynamics of Care First verses Money First. Louis and Sandra are compassionate leaders and teachers and I highly recommend this transformational healing for the planet.”
Jolly Stickley, Staunton, VA

Louis Bohtlingk is the author for Cosimo’s upcoming book Dare to Care: A Love Based Foundation for Money and Finance to be released in November. The book is filled with a collection of ideas and initiatives that could change the world of finance as we know it.

In an article published by Neiman Reports, Danny Schechter discusses the media’s misstep in reporting the Financial Crisis to the American Public. The highly informative article, goes back to the first signs of the impending Financial Crisis and how the media failed to report it and America failed to see it. In some ways Schechter is pointing out the denial we were all living with. Choosing instead to focus on the economic boom and avoiding what, many projected, was yet to come. Schechter’s article, Is the Financial Crisis also a Crime Story?, gives an interesting perspective on the financial crisis and is worth reading for anyone who is befuddled or frustrated by this crisis.

To read more of Danny Schechter’s work see The News Dissector, Danny’s blog. And to hear Danny speak more about this topic and the many others that interest him, check out his appearance on The Edge with Max Keiser.

At 80 years old, Budd Hopkins, a sculptor, painter, and UFO investigator died from complications of cancer. Though his art transformed over the years, his passion for it never ceased. His art is hanging in many museums including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington and the British Museum.

Budd Hopkins is widely thought of as the father of the Alien-Abduction Movement because he was the first to being collecting and recording the stories these people had to tell. His interest came from the siting of something flat, silver, and airborne, which he deemed unfathomable as belonging to this world. Many famous UFO writers credit him with their interest in this field. In addition to the books he published on UFOs, Hopkins also wrote the Introduction to the Cosimo Book Left at East Gate: A First-Hand Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, Its Cover-up, and Investigation.

Read his obituary from the New York Times.

We made it through July, complete with fireworks, maddeningly humid air, and dangerously hot days. Now, it’s August and yes that does mean even more perilously hot days, and insanely humid air, though probably less fireworks, but it also means Cosimo announces a new book of the month. This month, we’ve chosen a book that is just as mind boggling as the 105 degree days we have coming up. So get ready to bask in the soothing stream of your air conditioner and enjoy Psychic Exploration, A Challenge for Science Understanding the Nature and Power of Consciousness by Dr. Edgar D. Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and moon walker.

This book is a compilation of the findings and thoughts of some of the greatest minds in Psychic research. Touching upon parapsychology, the meaning of the universe, and life’s purpose, this book really embraces the science of psi and pushes the limits. Considered a controversial topic, because of what it could mean to human consciousness, theses topics were seldom discussed back in 1974 when the books was published. Now, with the creation of The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), this type of research has a specific outlet.

This book, originally published in 1974, is being republished by Cosimo. Though it has been over thirty years since the book was originally published, this timeless anthology still proves it’s relevance in today’s world. Enhancing the knowledge we have by providing insight from the past that some may have forgotten. For those interested in the history of parapsychology, fans of psi, and readers interested in learning about the possible meanings of the universe, Psychic Exploration is the book for you. And any out there who are skeptical, or feel they may not know enough about the subject to understand the book, there is an extensive glossary and index to help you out.

Colin’s eloquence as a speaker and knowledge of UFOs is clear and made for a very interesting discussion. If you missed it, listen to Colin’s interview here.
