Word from Moderator
----------------------------

Well… perhaps I didn’t make myself clear in the last Digest…

I WOULD LIKE SOME INPUT FROM YOU GUYS…

What do YOU think the Digest should contain, and how can we make it more
interesting for you? Please click on “Comments” below and send us your ideas, OK?

This is YOUR Digest, not mine, not even Bogdan’s!! YOU are what makes this
publication what it is and what it has been for the past 6 years. 468 issues filled with
YOUR comments, YOUR questions, YOUR feedback… I will NOT accept
comments such as “the Digest is dead”, not while I am moderating it!

Have we finished with issues to discuss? Are there no more scams on the Internet? Is
everyone content with their expertise with website building, marketing and
recruiting? Are there no changes taking place in our environment any more?

I don’t think so!!

Let’s get a discussion going on what WE the MEMBERS want OUR publication to
contain!

Are you overwhelmed by email?
========================

When the e-mailing system first came out, it was hailed as the greatest invention
since the telephone… and it probably is!

At least until every Tom, Dick and Harry (my apologies to all Toms, Dicks and
Harrys reading this piece) found ways to break into the system, “collect” emails of
total strangers and s’pam them to death, ruining the best system of communication
ever discovered.

How are you handling this problem, or has it overwhelmed you to the point that you
are cancelling all your email accounts?

Re: Website hijacked
From: Kenny S.

Judy, your problem is mild in comparison to what our company went through when
our entire professional website was hijacked by these creeps! We had to shut down
the site completely and inform all our customers of what happened. We had no way
to trace the culprits.
I looked up your website in Altavista and did not see the problem you are talking
about. Is it possible that you have spyware in your computer? Check the Altavista
link from a different computer first. If you see the same problem, complain to
Altavista directly.
If it works fine in the other computer, you need a spyware remover to clean your
computer and you may also need expert help.

Here are a couple of programs that can help you:

Re: Website Promotion Through Newsletters
From: Amalia Sotiriadou

Newsletters are and will continue to be the best way to keep in touch with members
and customers. One of the problems of Newsletters nowadays is that they have lost
touch of their objective, which is to deliver NEWS. Instead, they have become the
main carriers of advertising with perhaps an article to justify their existence.

I realize the need of advertising in order to help support a newsletter – it’s not cheap
to produce, at least not if you are doing it right. On the other hand, too much
advertising will turn people off after a while.

Newsletters should be used to build relationships with people, to keep them informed
of developments in the Company and most of all to tell the readers how THEY can
benefit from whatever is going on in the organisation. Everything else, in my
opinion, is just icing on the cake.

Re: Can People Really Change?
From: Shifra Hendrie

MOST PEOPLE NEVER REALLY CHANGE

Sad, but true.

Some people never even try.

But those of us who do – and I assume that you are in that group – often experience
great frustration and disappointment as we encounter the same limitations over and
over again.

Life can start to seem downright repetitive.

CREATING SOMETHING FROM NOTHING

Why is it that in most cases your life keeps looking like some variation of whatever
you’ve experienced before?

The answer is: because you are creating something from something. You’re
attempting to create a new and different future based on the limitations of your past.

Imagine that you are a potter and you have a piece of clay. You can study your craft
and make pots that are smoother, sturdier, or more beautiful than before. But when
all is said and done, they’re still just clay pots.

Who says you have to be a potter? And who says you can only make things out of
clay?

G-D CREATES SOMETHING FROM NOTHING

There is a fundamental kabalistic principle of Creation known as ‘yesh m’ayin’ –
something from nothing.

This principle explains that G-d is bringing the entire world, including you, into
existence from absolute nothingness at every moment.

G-d didn’t create this world once and withdraw back into Heaven, where He
supervises from a distance and intervenes when appropriate. Rather, He is actively
and intentionally speaking the world into existence from nothing in the present
moment, again and again and again. In fact, if G-d would stop creating this world –
with all of its myriad details – at any moment, the world and everything in it would
disappear as if it had never been.

Based on this, two things are clear:

1. The world has no existence outside of G-d. Everything we experience in life is
part of G-d and His intention and purpose for Creation.
2. G-d desires the world – and you – with an intense and personal desire. Everything
you do has great meaning and significance to Him. That’s why He keeps on creating
you.

Remember those old commercials where a little kid said something like: “I must be
good because G-d made me, and G-d doesn’t make junk”?

Actually, the truth is much more powerful than that. G-d doesn’t make anything or
anyone without a profound purpose. He passionately desires you and just as
passionately wants you to desire Him. And He is waiting - with bated breath - for
you to embrace the Divine purpose for which you have been created. To make your
life, your relationships and your circumstances a “dwelling place” for the Divine.

WHAT’S NOTHINGNESS?

G-d creates from Nothing because Nothingness, ayin, actually means absolute,
infinite possibility. No limitations. No restrictions. None at all.

When you don’t need to be any particular something, you’re free to be anything.
Kabbalah calls this infinite potential nothingness – not because there’s nothing there,
but because there are absolutely no limitations that define or restrict this infinite
possibility in any way.

YOU’RE ALREADY CREATING SOMETHING FROM NOTHING

As a human beings created in the image of G-d, you are also empowered to create
something from nothing. And you do, all the time.

Unfortunately, most of the time what we create from nothing are the stories about
what we can’t do, aren’t capable of, will never have – together with all the reasons
why.

These stories are continuously being recreated from nothing in each of our lives. But
unlike G-d, who creates consciously, we create this reality unconsciously. It’s a sort
of default programming. Yes, I understand that you have reasons for what you
believe, but those reasons, while they may help to explain your past, do not have the
power to limit your future. Unless you think they do, and act accordingly.

Most of us don’t wake up in the morning in awe of our own potential, in touch with
our Divine purpose, filled with the joy of life, ready to create. More often we wake
up all-too-conscious of our limitations, our disappointments, our frustrations, our
unfulfilled needs, and the burdensome problems we need to solve. No wonder so
many of us are worn out before we even get out of bed.

HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON

You might have read a cute little children’s book called “Harold and the Purple
Crayon”. In this book, Harold, a baby, draws things with his purple crayon on his
bedroom walls. He draws things like castles, mountains, roads and tigers. The
interesting part is that then Harold climbs the mountains, runs down the roads,
explores the castles and runs away from the tigers. Sometimes he gets so far into the
picture that he can’t figure out how to get home again – but then, he just takes his
purple crayon and draws the road back.

Harold is always creating something from nothing.

YOU CAN CREATE SOMETHING FROM NOTHING TOO

Your life, your present and future, is actually an ayin – nothing. Yes, as a soul in a
specific physical body, there are some limits to what you can create.

But you have no idea what they are.

- - Do you want to experience unconditional love? How would you behave if you
were committed to love others unconditionally, especially those people who long for
your love? Your parents. Your children. Your spouse. Your friends. What if you
noticed, accepted and appreciated the way they love you – even if it doesn’t yet look
exactly the way you want it to look?

What might happen today if you behaved that way? What if you stayed committed to
that experience over time – what might happen to your most intimate relationships,
your family, your community, your world? Don’t shortchange yourself by skipping
over this question. Really think about it.

- - Do you want to experience your power to live as a creator rather than a victim in
your life? How would you behave if you refused to let your fears and past failures
put any limits on what you do right now?

What would you do that you’ve been putting off? What else? What might you
actually create or achieve over time if you do those things? And perhaps even more
important, what would life be like for you right now if you choose to be a person
who isn’t stopped by fear?

Do you want to be more intimately in touch with your Creator and your Divine
purpose? How would you behave if you were a person committed to seeing G-d’s
intimate, infinite and loving presence in all aspects of your life? What if every action
you take was based on the assumption that nothing is wrong – because G-d is
intentionally, creating your world right now on behalf of your ultimate purpose and
fulfillment?

What might your life be like – today – if you behaved that way? How about your
relationships? Your energy? Your happiness? Your peace of mind?

HOW TO CREATE MIRACLES

Like a farmer who tills his field, plants seeds, waters and tends them, sometimes it
can take time to see the results of your efforts. But if you are willing to create
something from nothing, you don’t have to twiddle your thumbs while you wait for
things to grow. The very decision to be a creator in your own life brings with it some
powerful, intrinsic rewards; rewards like joy, fulfillment - and miracles.
