120 John E. Fetzer - The Quest for the New Age 122 What's Self Love Got To Do With It?
John E. Fetzer: The Quest for the New Age By Victor Fuhrman Interview with Brian C. Wilson and Bruce Fetzer
This is an age-old quest going back to the philosopherscientists of ancient Greece and other civilizations in antiquity. The 20th Century’s New Age, as it is called,
Omtimes.com
was thought to have been birthed in California and other progressive thinking communities. What most are not aware of is that it was the Midwest that was the first cradle of advanced spiritual expansion and in the forefront of this quest was a successful media mogul and venerated owner of a baseball team.
John E. Fetzer, born in 1901, was a radio pioneer who built a telecommunications and communications empire and was the sole owner of the Detroit Tigers from 1961 to 1983. Behind the scenes, he was a seeker who believed that happiness, positivity, and peace on earth could be found through a pathway to higher intelligence.
He used his resources to fund this quest with research studies including Stanford, Duke and Princeton and the groundbreaking research of JB Rhine into ESP. This hidden quest is being revealed for the first time by Fetzer biographer Brian C. Wilson, and Fetzer’s grandnephew, Bruce Fetzer. Brian C. Wilson is a professor of American religious history in the department of comparative religion at Western Michigan University. He’s the author of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and the Religion of Biologic Living and Yankees in Michigan. Bruce Fetzer is President, CEO, and Trustee of the Fetzer Memorial Trust, a former Trustee, and Treasurer of the John E. Fetzer Institute, a former Trustee and Member of the Foundation Financial Offices, Group Chairman of the FFOG Compensation Survey and advisor to other non-profits.

8 tips to live a great life being an HSP By Humanity Healing
What makes us unique as human beings are the different characteristics that we possess. These define, in a way, the way we live and the personality we Omtimes.com
have the behaviors we adopt in certain situations. People who need to live with high sensitivity, for example, have some distinct features. If you are or live with someone like that, in this article, we will talk about some recommendations to deal with this more easily. Highly Sensitive People (HSP) are singular in their own way, and their perception of life is usually very different from the rest of the people. They tend to be very attentive and can analyze everything internally with a 360dgree of level and perception, and then try to fit what has been investigated in their social environment. Also, HSP’s are cautious and always alert. To be a Highly sensitive person can be a spiritual gift. There are those who rate this type of person with
an introverted personality. However, the truth is that this feature represents only a small percentage of the HSP’s out there. Most of them are outgoing and in love with everything they do, most of the time. This makes them live intensely and abundantly, always listening, being good listeners, observers, empathic and conscious of life. They also tend to develop their creativity and perception at high levels, which makes them very ingenious, original but somewhat vulnerable. There is no reason why a person that high sensibility should feel out of place or bad about itself. Just on the contrary, they must find a way to channel each of their characteristics to make the most of their abilities. Here we gathered eight tips to live the high sensitivity life with Joy

Learning 4 Life lessons From Your Cat By OMTimes
Felines have been revered and admired by many great cultures throughout History. Napoleon brought them from Egypt to kill rats and other small
Omtimes.com
animals with infectious diseases in Europe. Since then, they have become such silent companions with supernatural gaze and incredibly cunning skills, with whom we have much to learn. As Albert Einstein once said: “I do not have great talents, but a deep curiosity.” 1. Curiosity didn’t kill the Cat Absolutely. Curiosity is the trait that makes us grow as living beings, expanding our knowledge and exploring options and paths based on our own needs. It is not common to find a fearful cat, who does not like to look through the window. If we look at our world with fear or stop experiencing certain things for fear of consequences, this little hunter inside us will not open all the doors that, from time to time, are offered by life. One must dare to
explore with the secrecy and craft of a feline and know that the consequences can sometimes bring great discoveries to you. 2. Small Negotiators Cats do not submit, they negotiate. They accept us if we receive and accept them. That simple. It is difficult to get their affection if we make threats or promises of aggression, or even through expressing orders. Felines require a certain amount of patience, a touch of understanding and a universe of affection. Once the bond is created, their loyalty will be absolute. The deal with the cat is a simple metaphor of respect and tolerance that human beings should consider since we are often involved in our private, hurried and competitive little worlds. 3. Sense of Opportunity Another characteristic of these little beings is

Is Living Apart Together a Relationship Style That’s Right for You? Marcia Sirota, MD.
Some engaged couples are stressing out about the rising costs of getting married. The average cost of a wedding in Canada today is just over 30 thousand dollars. Some couples try to save money by choosing
Omtimes.com
to go the city hall route, but there’s one group of people that are trying something altogether different. Whether or not they choose to get married, many couples follow the familiar model of relationships in which they meet, fall in love and then move in together. Lately, though, some people are defying the stereotype and choosing to be in loving, long-term relationships without the benefits of cohabiting. They’re doing what’s called Living Apart Together, or LAT. According to 2011 data from Statistics Canada, almost two million Canadians were in a LAT couple. I imagine that there are even more people doing this, today.
majority of people plan to eventually move in with their partner, whereas in the older group, the majority have no such plans. These individuals want to maintain their own homes and their own lifestyles while being in a committed relationship with their partner. In the older age group, most have been married before and have grown children. These individuals don’t want to give up their autonomy, and many aren’t interested in starting all over again, doing all the things involved with caring for a spouse. Some don’t want to complicate their kids’ inheritance. Some just like having the space to do their own thing.
For younger couples, the choice to be together but live apart is often due to financial circumstances or because of separations brought on by work or school. For couples aged 60 and over, however, the most common reason for choosing this type of arrangement is to remain independent.
When thinking about this type of arrangement, many advantages are immediately obvious. People in a LAT couple can have a strong sense of independence while also enjoying the benefits of intimacy. They can bring more romance, passion, and novelty to the relationship when they come together after time spent apart.
In the younger age group, the

Secrets of Compassionate Relationships by Guy Finley
We all Share the Same Emotional Pool Compassion for others starts with the understanding that every human being on the
Omtimes.com
planet looks different from us – because physically we are different – but inwardly we all live in the same pool. We all have pain and pleasure, we all share emotions that move in waves through that pool. People may live on the east bank of the pool so that the waves they know are different from the waves we know on the west bank, but if we look close enough, we can see that we share east bank waves in us as well. Have you ever looked at someone and thought, “How could that person be like that?” and then by the grace of God, discovered that you had done the same thing before, only called it something different? This is a beautiful realization because it proves to you that it is intended for those of us who would have a higher
life to use everyone’s life for our own development. We Help Others When We Don’t Take Part in Negativity Instead of walking through our days meeting people with the closed-off nature that we presently act from, we can begin to let down our guard. This doesn’t mean to identify with negativity or cruelty in other people. We can certainly see their negative emotions. But because we have known hostility, fear, and hatred in ourselves, instead of punishing others for their states, we can begin to help them do what they must do, which is to fall back on themselves when we don’t take part in their negativity the way we have always done.

6 Things you Should know about Finding Your Soul Mate By Ascending Hearts
Here is the ugly truth about Love: Before you meet your soul mate, you must find yourself, know yourself and love yourself; only then you can genuinely connect with someone who enriches you. Finding your soul mate is Omtimes.com
not a matter of magic, nor waiting for fate to secure the opportunity of a serendipitous encounter, it is a matter of vibration. You need to put out the vibrational signature of what you want to attract. Yes, it is this simple, in theory.
The Idealization of the model couple, of that romantic meeting with emotional, psychological and even spiritual harmonization, all perfectly balanced and magical, will require, first of all, that we carry out adequate and intense internal work. We will not find an emotional partner that fits our essence, values, and principles if we do not first define what we want, who we are, and what identifies us. As they say, “we attract what we are.” Therefore, let us become magical by ourselves, be mature, safe, valuable and able to offer the best to others with authenticity, with charisma. Finding your soul mate may be easier than you think, but if you dare to work on those inner dimensions, they will undoubtedly help and inspire you. “What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life? They are there to strengthen each other and to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories. “ - George Eliot
To help your search, here are some pointers. 1. Be clear about your priorities Most of us have previous experience, our personal “baggage” full of emotional stories, joys and, why not, also of many Love disappointments. To concentrate in the past is never good thing. However. Have we really learned from all these experiences? Everything that we have lived in the past should serve as adequate learning. Only in this way do we understand better and clarify what we want and what we do not want. It is necessary to be very clear about our priorities to put filters before our eyes, in front of the people that cross our path. It is not advisable to fall into the same errors or repeat the same unwanted patterns as yesterday. 2. Enjoy your way, of life and of yourself More than an obsession with finding your soul mate, let her do it. Let love find you as you enjoy life, yourself, and surround you ... Omtimes.com
Is Technology Making it Harder for Couples to Stay Together? By Marcia Sirota, MD.
Recently, I was interviewed by radio host John Gormley about my article on how technology could be making it harder for us to
Omtimes.com
find love. After the interview, Gormley suggested that technology could also be making it harder for us to hold on to our relationships. I think he might have a point. All we have to do is look at couples sitting together in restaurants and coffee shops. They aren’t talking or laughing together; they aren’t touching or kissing. Most often, both people are totally focused on their laptops or smartphones. The question comes to mind: how do we expect our relationships to endure if we’re spending more time engaged with our technology than with each other? Love relationships aren’t easy. They take the effort to keep them healthy and fulfilling. There are our own needs and the other person’s needs to contend with; our own feelings
and theirs. We have to cooperate, compromise, negotiate and problemsolve, all of which require ongoing communication and connection. Spending so much time with our technology can eat into our one-on-one communication time. It also disrupts the time that we’d be spending just hanging out together, building our emotional bond. Intimacy is built by just enjoying being in each other’s presence, and technology is depriving us of that time to connect. One of the nicest aspects of a romantic relationship is the attention we pay to our partner, and they pay to us. Now, we have to compete with our technology to get some face-time with our romantic partner. Intimacy can be defined as “knowing and being known.” To really know each other, we must spend quality time

Are YOU Intuitive? By John Holland
To be intuitive or psychic is not only something we naturally possess — it’s also a way of being. This natural soul ability is not purely limited to transcended masters or to people who have devoted a lifetime of both studying and practicing meditation. It’s not about fortunetelling, crystal balls, or predicting the future. In fact, we’re all using these special abilities most of the time, even though many of us never realize it. Take a moment to consider these questions: Have you ever just thought of someone and then by coincidence, you run into them later that day? Omtimes.com
Can you sense the mood of someone even before you meet them? Have you ever had a hunch that you didn’t follow through, only to regret it later because it turned out to be correct? Was there a time when you were talking to someone on the phone, and even though they sounded fine, you just knew that something was wrong? Have you ever known the outcome of a situation or an event before it happened? Can you walk into a room and tell what the atmosphere is like instantly? Do so-called coincidences and synchronicities keep happening in your life? How many questions did you answer yes to? These are just a few examples of what being intuitive or psychic is all about. It’s a sense of an inner-awareness that can be quite subtle. Of course, I urge you to keep your feet firmly on the ground as it’s not always overly dramatic like you see in the movies!
JOHN’S LESSON Intuition is the language of the soul. I believe it is what keeps us connected to God, Divine Source, Spirit, call it what you will. Since it is a natural part of us, and our birthright, you should understand how it works and use it! Making time for activities that contribute to your spiritual growth and psychic development is not a sign of selfishness. By doing so, it can have a major impact on your overall well-being and spiritual vitality. Spending time to focus on your soul’s needs enables you to nurture yourself and expand your spiritual boundaries. Therefore, for just one week I encourage you to do things that are uncharacteristic for you. In other words, things that you wouldn’t normally do. During this week, surrender and trust your intuitive psychic abilities completely. If you feel that you’ve always wanted to have lunch with someone at work but never made an effort, then make this week the time to ask. If you feel drawn to call a relative Omtimes.com
Get to know the Children of the Zodiac The solar sign suggests the characteristics and interests of our children By OMTimes

zodiacal sign and get inspired in the best way to educate those you love. It is worth remembering that in younger children, besides the zodiacal sign, aspects of the ascendant can also be readily perceived. If you wish to know your child in depth, it is essential to study the entire Astral Map, not only the Solar sign. ARIES The Aries child is full of energy, vitality and loves to live great adventures. With such a disposition, it is possible that this little one is always able to learn new things. However, those responsible for their education must be aware of their fearless way, which ignores the dangers that may be present most of the time. For this reason, the ideal is for the child to be told that extra steps for proper care must be taken in some situations. Another important teaching for the little Aries child is the ability to share his toys with friends, for example. Aries is a sign that likes to imagine that the universe revolves
around itself. To channel and control that much energy, we strongly recommend the practice of sports that involves playing with a team. Aries is also good with the artistic use of their hands. TAURUS Quietly, the small Taurus are usually more emotionally stable than other children of the same age. This is because Taurus prefers to focus his wills toward specific interests. It is possible for the children of this sign to cling to a single toy, to a friend or activity, for example. Therefore, those responsible for the education of this child should guide her to be more flexible and, mainly, in how to adapt to changes. As they are very stubborn, they may have some resistance to the novelties. But just have patience and respect the slower time that this child takes to accept the new situations.

Have You Met the Lesser Version of Yourself? by Dr. Nickolas Martin
What a difficult question to ask. More so, quite unpleasant to answer. Partly, due to its sensitive nature as well as the distractions of everyday life. Work, family, bills, and the

like keep us at a distance from answering this fundamental question. It becomes something we eventually get to if we feel that we must. Until then it remains filed away near the bottom of one’s “to do” list. Though often ignored, the answer to the question is having a significant impact on our lives. Even though we are kind, intelligent, and well-meaning people doing the best that we can, the answer is often weeding its way into how we interact with people. It affects our closest relationships, ability to love ourselves, achieve our potential and know our life’s purpose. It impedes growth and the quality of mind, ability to experience genuine happiness, and deal with the change, adversity, stressors, and conflict that life brings to our door. Ignoring this question often directs us to live a lesser version of ourselves and experience of life. We settle for less than the great life we are meant to live. As Jesus said, “For many are
called, but few are chosen.” We fail to choose ourselves when we fail to get to know all of ourselves. Working on becoming a better person or the best version of ourselves is intended to address the question “Have you met the lesser version of yourself?” We talk about being more open, honest, assertive, sensitive, friendly, responsible, trusting, trustworthy, considerate, mature, supportive, etc. All too often though, it’s like a New Year’s resolution. While the intentions are good, grasping the challenges connected to the decision is ignored or lacking. Meaningful and permanent change requires insight that allows us to see how, where, and why we are “getting it wrong.” It involves getting to know a person we don’t want to meet but need to, that is the lesser version of ourselves. It might be unpleasant, but we have a lot to learn by getting to know this version of

Emotional Sensitivity: Anniversary Reactions by Carl Greer, Ph.D., PsyD
A man finds he is irritable for no particular reason and suddenly realizes that it has been two years to the day since his divorce became final.
Omtimes.com
A woman who lost her father to brain cancer gets a terrible headache on the anniversary of his death. A woman feels mildly depressed every year over the holidays, wishing she could return to the happier days of the past—and develops respiratory illnesses every November and December. Can the body somehow know that a person is holding on to grief? Could memories lower our immunity or trigger psychosomatic illnesses? Could our bodies remember an anniversary of a loss or trauma that our conscious mind has forgotten? Many believe its possible to have old, unprocessed anger hidden in the unconscious— anger that affects a person’s energy field and body, even causing illness. Jungian analysts have suggested that unresolved emotional issues that have become buried in the recesses of the mind can
cause people to become sick or develop physical pain and diseases. Sadness over a loss might arise as melancholy or emotional sensitivity on a particular day or at a certain time of year, or perhaps as a psychosomatic illness or flare-up of symptoms of a condition. When you have an anniversary reaction of psychosomatic illness, the body might actually be creating a biochemical response to thoughts and emotions that the unconscious is holding on to. An anniversary reaction, also known as the anniversary effect, can be linked to a day or perhaps a time of year or a season such as autumn or summer. Holidays often bring a complex mix of emotions as memories of joyful times, sadness, and disappointment intermingle. Maybe you feel you should be cheerful during the holidays but can’t sustain the emotion because the old feelings creep in. As a parent, you might feel obliged to
