Introduction

We humans possess a number of qualities. In addition to the individual properties of each individual, collective characteristics of holding on to old patterns is also a tendency. Most of us are very good at that, which is why we often get stuck. We do not know why the mountains that life seems to place before us have grown into such exorbitant proportions, and it seems impossible we will ever be able to solve the riddle.

This newsletter attempts to look at this problem from different directions. It is meant to give recipes to handle this, to give you the feeling that it is just life that is smiling at you, and to give you a helping hand.

There are many paths that lead to release. The one road is not the other, but consider that you did not choose

your path for nothing. It will help you to stand more firmly in life. An unknown writer says: Whatever one loves, should be released. If it comes back to you, it is meant to be. If not, it has never been intended to belong to you.

Running Fox wishes you much release.

Quiet waters; the ultimare release ~ by Hans Brockhuis

Looking down a gently slanting slope, abundantly decorated with flowers and the greenest grass, I watch a meandering quiet brook in the shrubbery below. Birds are a singing and every thing is joyful, gentle and calm.

This is it; gone with the wind, the end of the road. I walk down the hill but suddenly I feel someone touching my shoulder.

“Slow down, my friend,” I hear. When I look over my shoulder I see a tall bearded figure who is friendly nodding to me. He carries a huge bunch of keys. “Saint Peter, the guardian,” he says, yet I realize no gate of heaven is to be seen. Peter smiles. “That business about the gate is a fable,” he says, “but in this bunch of keys your key is included, the key to your very heart.” He rumbles for a while and shows me a big old-fashioned key.

Release ~ Nora Pelgrims

Although I walked many paths of life several times already, that of letting go seems to be the road that is the most hurtful. We often get these lessons very early in life, some earlier than others, but we certainly will Receive them… And just as we think we digested the gist (?), they will come back, in another outfit, another form, another level. Then it will start materializing and acts upon all layers of attachment. Be it a member of the family, a friend or a relative, it cuts, slashes through the heart and leaves back Traces. Traces that are clearly obvious for others. It is our task to decide which kind of traces we want to leave behind.

By making choices on surrounding features we create possibilities in which we will become terribly lonesome or either very rich. We cannot see that many of these things to which we are devoted only stay with us if we in actual fact are able to release them. During those hurtful moments we cannot see that it would be much better to let them Be as they Are. Often it feels like it is outside of Your Will, although in reality it is The Path.

Release ~ by Tara Tabor

I look at you
You look at me
Like signs on the road
You North
Me South

Like a magnetic accord
Time and again I let you go
To stand closer to myself
My Love is Unconditional

I love you
I love myself.

Farewell to Deshney ~ by Maja Kluvers

Almost two years ago I acquainted you with our dear cat Deshney and how she helped me to look at my fears and become in the long run able to release them. I the also told you that I had ‘seen’ that together we were underway and at one point saw her disappearing through a doorway.

And now the dreadful moment, where I had to face one of my greatest fears, had come. Almost fifteen years of age, in May she would be 15, it has become obvious that Deshney is ill, although you wouldn’t recognize it, looking at her looks or appetite. The vet observes that she has a tumour and he is very worried. Because of her problems to her bronchial tubes she has, when she would be operated upon, just about a fifty-fifty chance to survive. My next question was about the chance of recovery.

In the past we had said to each other that, if Deshney was to become gravely ill, we would not try to extend her life with all kinds of artificial tricks, however excellent the intentions or implementation.

Letting go ~ By John Cali

As you may recall from last week’s newsletter, "Listening To Your Inner Voice," I had technical problems getting it properly sent to all of you. In one of my emails apologizing for the mess, I described it as "a day from hell!"

That remark unleashed a flood of emails from you. You said I was being too hard on myself. Here are some of your comments:
• "Try not be so hard on yourself, we are fine."
• "Thank you for your diligent and selfless work that you and Joseph do."
• "No apologies necessary for sharing your gifts with us."
• "REALLY glad to know I am in good company -- being human!"
• "No worries. After all, you are human. Such little goofs make the rest of us feel better; so thank you for that service."
• "You're FUNNY! I love that your version of "Hell" is having to send out a newsletter 3 times."

Your letters made me painfully aware I was being hard on myself -- too damned hard! I was tenaciously clinging to something out of my control, desperately hoping I could resolve it with sheer, intense action.
That, of course, didn’t work. No surprises there. It never works.

I love life ~ Annette van den Wijngaard

I love life
I love myself
I accept like
all comes and goes
with a smile and
a tear
I am full
And I am mySelf

A day full of changes
A day full of remembrances
released
Overcame a fear? Yes... I just
did
release and I feel
fulfilled

Trust the Almighty and learn from the present about your mistakes

Handling turbulence; transmuting fear by Myriah Krista Walker

Ah Oneness, it is grand isn't it? Someone sends you thoughts of Love and you feel them. Friends faces pop into your "mind" and you are beginning to communicate through the veils and speak on the levels of the Higher Self.

You are sensing and playing in this Ocean of Oneness we are all connected to. Learning to change your intent and harness your emotions. Learning to focus on Love.

But sometimes the waves get rough. Sometimes we feel energies we don't want to feel. Sometimes we feel the energy of fear that is seeking to uplift itself.

As we ascend our thinking and work with Oneness, the old fear energies that are no longer needed seek a way of release. It is no longer comfortable for fear to manifest itself on a planet of such Love.
