11:43 pm	Hosted my first class on BlogTalk Radio - Preparedness Class Resources Online The Preparedness Class Resources from the Euless class held Saturday May 23, 2009 and the online class held on BlogTalk Radio on Saturday June 6, 2009 are now available for download. Class Description: This is a class on emergency preparedness and food storage. You will learn how to prepare a 72-hour emergency kit (and why), food storage basics (including shelflife), and how to develop a preparedness mindset. There is no need for fear when you have considered many of the what-ifs, resolved a manageable contingency plan for potential challenges, and allowed trust to bring you peace of mind. Preparedness instills within us trust of ourselves, trust of our intuition, trust of our decisions both pre-established and in the moment, and trust of a higher power. When challenge arrives, you can choose fear or faith. The preparedness mindset is one of faith.

11:46 pm	Ethics in Paranormal Investigation Ethics in Paranormal Investigation The topic of ethics and ethical behavior in the paranormal research and investigation field is one that keeps coming to me in various ways. It truly is time for us to examine the issue and determine how it affects us and our clients, what standards of practice we feel strongly should be adopted by ourselves and possibly others, what requirements we feel might be of value as more people are introduced into the field, and how we as investigators and researchers prefer to be perceived by society. I don’t have the answers, nor does anyone. Debate at this point would be nonproductive. But discussion and cooperation while sharing thoughts objectively and respectfully could yield positive results that could eventually form into a cohesive pattern of thought that might actually one day form into some common standards of practice. My friend on MySpace, whose username is spiritsofstpetersburg posted the following blog entry, which I repost with her permission: http://www.myspace.com/spiritsofstpetersburg Date: Aug 31, 2008 3:52 PM Subject: Ethics in paranormal investigation/SPIRITS blog - – – – – – – QUOTE – – – – – – - “I worry about the field of ghost/paranormal investigation. Since the inception of the television shows, paranormal investigation has exploded into the mainstream. No longer a fringe movement, it is open to public view through the lens of specially produced television shows that bring this unusual craft into the homes of millions each week.” “What is the result? An explosion of paranormal investigation groups, conferences, radio shows, more TV shows, books, ghost tours, and paraphernalia. Granted, the focus on equipment has certainly allowed for some improvements and mass buying has manipulated the market prices, usually for the better. There is a greater knowledge of what the paranormal is about. I remember starting actual on-site investigations 12 years ago and being treated as an occultist. My research before that tapped books that were a mixture of parapsychological and paranormal – Big Foot, UFOs, and the Loch Ness Monster, resided alongside of ghosts, poltergeists, and ESP. There was no separation of ideals, and all were regarded with equal suspicion.” “However, in the decades since this mixed uncertainty there are a plethora of groups with morals that range from pure investigation to fame and money making attempts. Ghost investigation groups tend towards the moderate, with mixed methodologies allowing for sensitivity and equipment, though some groups shun psychics entirely while others are only sensitive-based. Many aim for the empirical study (of something that is a mixture of belief, empiricism, and cultural ideals). Most aim for what they see on TV: What “Ghosthunters” do, they do.” “How should teams deal with each other? There is no regulation in this field. Schisms are developing over territory (I remember when we were pretty much the only team in the area. Now there are about a dozen in the same area). Politics are terrible. When does one team transgress on another? Is permission needed to investigate an area? What happens if multiple teams investigate (or inquire to investigate) a known haunt? (We have had one experience with a new team in the area that wanted to go into a business we investigated. The business owner had such a negative experience, and was also inundated with requests from other teams, that the business is now closed to all paranormal investigation teams). What happens if one group is doing a controlled investigation? Does that location become closed to others until the investigation is completed? (We also had that experience where one team came into a location that we were investigating for a year which culminated with a public presentation/conference. This group chose to come in one week before our results were to be released and our investigation was to end; the conference was an opening point to all investigation teams to explore the area for potential haunting). Business administration did not know they were coming, staff said that this team claimed to know us and were let in).” “Is this seen as an attempt by one team to undermine another, or was it simply a miscommunication?” “Another issue falls to how teams interpret data. Is there one right way to investigate? This field has no hard and fast guidelines. Many have standard guidelines that most people follow (use of EMF, thermometers, cameras, for example) but beyond a basic ghost hunting kit the field is wide open. The SPIRITS of St. Petersburg is a little different. As the founder, I come from an academic background with culture/religion/education as my primary focus. This group utilizes subjective and objective research that culminates in a mixed methods (stronger with qualitative research) study. Is this wrong? No. Qualitative research is a valid form of research utilized in many culturally-oriented fields, including education. Is it standard? Let’s just say that it is gaining in prominence. Yet, it is not displayed or shown on television, discussed by many groups, or utilized actively in the “scientific fields” that utilize hard-core empirical data as the only way to produce results (these turn to quantitative research). How many teams have dismissed us for this? Yet, do they even KNOW what qualitative research is? Or do they garner their knowledge from what they observe from the mainstream? In other words, what happened to the ability to critically think in paranormal investigation? If paranormalists are not critically thinking, this field will NOT grow or change.” “What happened to doing paranormal investigation simply to do paranormal investigation? What happened to the quest for knowledge? When did this become about holding conferences, meetings, workshops, fundraisers, press releases? There are groups who present themselves as investigators but who are, in actuality, money-making machines. After joining, they charge hundreds for “haunted tours,” yet publicity falls on the few yearly “no charge” investigations that they do in a year, circulating out investigators who may not have any true knowledge of the field. Conferences have blossomed into investments costing hundreds of dollars to simply attend, not to mention the need to check into a hotel, eat, etc. What has happened here? How can paranormal teams do investigation if they are constantly attempting to manage seminars, conferences, and meetings? It is not to say that some meetings are not appropriate but motivation is a factor. Is this for money? Publicity? Or education?” “What happened to team loyalty and unity? How many teams have had members break off to form their own teams? (I always love the “use ya and leave ya” mentality). How many teams have had turbulence from unstable members, or members who attempt to do a power grab? In another unique experience, echoing what I have heard from others over the past few years, the SPIRITS co-hosted a paranormal conference in June. It was the first time a score card was needed to keep up with which group will talk to whom. If one person is invited, this person won’t come. What does this create? Fragmentation. Disillusionment. Frustration. Aggravation. Cliques. Disunity.” “In the past 5 years, this field has become cut-throat and draining. As a founder, I spoke with others who said that they felt the same. One can NEVER rest. There is always another group ready to pounce; any weakness will be exploited. This field does NOT work together. It has created an atmosphere of animosity that sets out to tear “the other” down. This is detrimental to all of us. We will end up destroying the thing that we love: paranormal investigation, itself.” “If this writing angers you, good. Maybe you recognize some of what is going on, maybe you see it in yourself. If this saddens you, good. It saddens me to no end. I have seen my two other loves, arts and education, being torn apart over the years. I recognize the symptoms – over crowding in the field, lack of internal control/stabilization, self-applied morals and ethics that are easily transgressed, and poor motivation (money, money, money, and fame). The irony is that I see others recognizing these facts but, in true paranormalist style, we form individual conferences to deal with these issues. We can’t even seem to come together to form a meeting for unity (the irony there)!” “We must find a way to come together, to stay true to what we say we will do. I have met far too many groups who say one thing and do another. It is disheartening. Yet, there is one final truth that cuts through all of this: Ghost investigation is heading for a fall unless we come together to work together in a friendly atmosphere that is conducive for everyone. Unless leaders follow their own moral and ethical guidelines, treat other teams with respect, and utilize a humanistic rule base, this field is doomed.” “So, I ask you: What do you think? Is there a solution to this? If so, what is it?” “You are welcome to respond to the SPIRITS blog if you so wish.” - – – – – – END QUOTE – – – – – - BLOG: http://blog.myspace.com/spiritsofstpetersburg This is my response: Amen, sister! Your blog entry is well-written, clear, well thought out, and to the point. Kudos. You have identified the problems readily. (1) No universal standards of practice (2) No specific educational or life experience requirements (3) No ethical or moral guidelines in common between groups or individuals Since paranormal research and investigation is still a fringe pseudoscience being treated by many as if it were mainstream science, others as if it were a hobby, and others as if it were a party game, there simply is no standard. The ordinary people seeking help from a reputable paranormal investigation team are the ones who really suffer. They can easily waste months or years in misery trying to find a group who will help them; but only coming in contact with those who have no interest in actual research, investigation, and helping the people who called on them for help in the first place. The problem is so prevalent that there cannot be a single solution. As individuals one thing we can do is network with one another and share our resources with not only one another; but especially with those seeking help. As individuals and groups we can choose to adopt standards of ethics, make these known in print, and endorse others who also adopt standards of ethics. We should not, must not, demand that others have the same standards that we do. We MUST accept that there are different standards that are acceptable, different beliefs, and different needs. Just as there is a different religion for every spiritual place one might find himself or herself in life, there is also a differnt paranormal philosophy for every need known to man. We solve nothing by pointing fingers, arguing, creating disharmony, spreading fear, and confusing our clients. Yes, those who ask for help are our CLIENTS whether they pay us or not. It is time for us to acknowledge that we owe them our respect, our consideration, and our best efforts to provide for them that which we have been prepared to provide. * * * Let me also share my comments posted to the video, “Paranormal Investigator Tools” http://www.iamhaunted.com/videos/id_63/title_paranormal-investigator-tools/ Someone wrote, “Exactly when was the agency created that now certifies Paranormal Investigators?” This is my reply: Anyone can offer a certificate in anything anywhere anytime. If you give a class on pottery, crochet, cooking, housecleaning, or building a rocket to go to the moon, you can offer a certificate upon completion of the class or course. Now, how useful that certificate may be to the owner of it could be disappointing. If you give a certificate in cake decorating and the recipient expects to be employed as a baker based on that, he or she would be bitterly disappointed. But if the point was only to gain knowledge and have something to show for it, then the certificate would be cherished. No, sadly, there are no standards for paranormal investigation. There are no ethical guidelines. There are no educational requirements. There are no rules of practice. There is no agency to demand that paranormal investigators be educated, skillful, ethical, or moral. I think that’s the point. If we have ANY consideration for our fellow man (including Paranormal Investigators), for our clients (those who ask for our help), and for our world, then we MUST adopt standards of ethics, practice, and behavior. Since there is no standard, it is up to each individual and each group to determine what standards they feel are most important. Perhaps if we begin to publish our standards we will not only make it easier for clients to find the right person or group; but we might accidentally just find that we have certain standards in common, and that could be the beginning of a set of common standards some day. Helping others CANNOT be accomplished successfully from a position of tearing down others, ANY others. Paranormal investigation is about determining what is really happening for people who need help in doing that. We cannot help one person while ripping apart one another. No one is really helped in that process. So what if someone offers a certificate in Paranormal Investigation? Is there such a thing as an EXPERT in the paranormal? Of course not! How can you be an expert in the unknown? But if you do apply yourself to become knowledgeable and experienced in your field, why should ANYONE be upset because you received a certificate for your accomplishment? And, yes, I have one of those certificates, too. And no, I don’t make a big deal out of it or belittle anyone who doesn’t have one. * * * See more progress on: Promote ethics in paranormal investigation (Comment on this)

2:07 pm	Lightworkers & Healers Meditation & Prayer for Positive Outcome from Hurricane Energy Join in global meditation for positive transformation through hurricane/earth energy. Many blessings, Cathy The following is reposted from an email from Lightworkers.org . . . - On Sun, 8/31/08, lightnews@lightworkers.org wrote: From: lightnews@lightworkers.org Subject: URGENT: Please Read – World Intent – What can be done about Hurricane Gustav? Date: Sunday, August 31, 2008, 8:08 AM Dear Lightworker, This is not the normal email or newsletter announcement. I am sure this email comes to you at a time of rapid change in your own life, and I am sure you are aware of the many earth changes taking place right now. The question we need to ask ourselves is Are we a Part of the process? YES, and What Intention do we want to set for our growth and evolution on this planet?. Does it have to come at the price of great pain and suffering? No! It does not. I am not alone in having received the guidance as to how we can assist in the birthing of this new energy coming through the sun and earth at this time. You have been called into assistance, in your own way, through your own personal revelations and connectedness. This connection wanes, and wavers from time to time, but ultimately it is we as the individual conscious that we are, who mush choose our place in the greater body of humanity, the earth and the whole. That power some call God, that all encompassing, omnipotent power that feeds and nurtures us all. We have to align and recognizes our oneness. We have all received our calling.. And I would like to you partake in this opportunity to exercise your divine right, to shine your light in unison with lightworkers all over the world. As each of us are one, humanities pain is our own pain, our healing is humanities healing, which in turn is earths healing. We know that many of these earth changes are a part of the process, as the earth channels the higher density energies flowing through her sacred meridian grid, yet we are a part of that grid and a part of how that energy is used and processed. Will it continue to come forth as earthquakes and destruction, as hurricanes and tidal waves, or can it serve a higher purpose? I believe it can. And this is the crux of this message to you. Hurricane Gustav, a Category 4 Hurricane is slowly moving through the Gulf of Mexico. This is in close proximity to mainland USA, and we all saw the effect Katrina, a Category 3 hurricane had on the region, how it effected the most vulnerable people, the children, the mothers, the fathers, and anyone else who could not afford to escape its path. I want to ask you to join with me, in prayer and meditation. If you do not have a regular practice of meditation or prayer, I am asking you to start one now for this purpose, and in these prayers, I am requesting that you to add your voice to mine, and ask that these energies driving the hurricane be channeled into you to assist you in your own spiritual awakening, to ask that these energies be channeled into all willing lightworkers who are sharing in this prayer, so that the destruction can be transformed into a blossoming of hearts and minds. And that each of these meditators, each of these lightworkers, carries that energy with them, like an invisible hurricane Mandala, that can sweep through the consciousness of humanity where the real purification is needed. Ask of the earth, ask of God, ask of the Great Spirit, ask of yourself and ask of the One for this to be fulfilled. Ask your guides and spirit teachers to help you focused on this intent. Lets join our hearts, minds and voices in this request, and take up a greater responsibility in the well being of this planet and its people, no matter how big or how small they may be. Please join me, please spread the word. Hosted at Lightworkers.org we have a public voice server anyone is free to join and form group meditations to focus on this. I will be incorporating it into my daily practice and spending twice the time I usually do, giving twice the energy and twice the heart to this matter. You are free to use the services of Lightworkers.org to network and connect with others to help bring this about. You can find a semi-live update of Hurricane Gustave here : http://www.wdsu.com/wxmap/14516174/detail.html#- Send it your waves of love, call its energy into your heart and ask in sincerity for the above to be made manifest in your own powerful words. You know what to do, you have everything you need. You are a divine emissary of light. Shine On. Love Always. Adeon and the Lightworkers.org team.

3:15 am	NurseHealer Classes These are the classes I’m teaching now in my home and will be offering online. NurseHealer Class: Trust Your Intuition – Trusting Your Inner Voice 1 PM Euless Date: Saturday August 23, 2008 Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm REGISTRATION CLOSED – NO SEATS AVAILABLE Type: Class (Public) Location: Home of Cathy Miller City/State/Zip: Euless, TX 76040 This is a two-hour class on trusting your inner voice. Everybody calls it whatever their culture and beliefs dictate; but if I use the term “inner voice” everybody understands what I’m talking about. There are times that we all begin to listen to doubt rather than our inner voices, no matter how skillful, psychic, or intuitive we are. The good news that I have for everyone is that it is really easy to do. It’s just a change in mindset. We want to believe that we have to spend years of intense study, thousands of dollars, and immense amounts of energy in order to reach a level where we can trust our inner voice. We have to bury those old beliefs that don’t serve us well. Let’s have a eulogy for that old belief system and welcome the birth of a new one. It is easy to trust. All that other is hard. NurseHealer Class: Living with the Paranormal 1 PM Euless, TX 4th Saturday Date: Saturday September 27, 2008 Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Type: Class (Public) Location: Home of Cathy Miller City/State/Zip: Euless, TX 76040 This is a two-hour class on living with the paranormal that will address both positive and negative paranormal experiences and explain how and why these things happen in our lives. The class is designed for ordinary people attempting to understand the paranormal; but is also suitable for paranormal investigators, psychics, spiritual advisors, and counselors interested in helping their clients to deal with the unexplained phenomena in their lives. There is no prerequisite for this class, and it is suitable for people from any background, religion, or belief system. NurseHealer Class: Find Your Divine 1 PM Euless, TX 4th Saturday Date: Saturday October 25, 2008 Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm REGISTRATION CLOSED – NO SEATS AVAILABLE Type: Class (Public) Location: Home of Cathy Miller City/State/Zip: Euless, TX 76040 This is a two-hour class on reaching your inner spirit, connecting to source energy, discovering the spark of divinity within you. NurseHealer Class: Ascension 1 PM Euless, TX 4th Saturday Date: Saturday November 22, 2008 Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Type: Class (Public) Location: Home of Cathy Miller City/State/Zip: Euless, TX 76040 This is a two-hour class on ascension.

NurseHealer Class: 2012 and Beyond 1 PM Euless, TX 4th Saturday Date: Saturday December 27, 2008 Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Type: Class (Public) Location: Home of Cathy Miller City/State/Zip: Euless, TX 76040 This is a two-hour class on the year 2012 and beyond. Prophecies, the Mayan Calendar, the Great Awakening, ascension, and more topics will be discussed. What should we be doing now to prepare for 2012? Will there be any change?

3:33 pm	Law of One Society - ALL IS ONE (Yahoo Group) I’ve joined the Yahoo Group: Law of One Society – ALL IS ONE It is associated with the Law of One Society: http://www.lawofone.org/ the Law of One Society is a loosely structured, non-hierarchical network of individuals from around the world dedicated to understanding, exemplifying and practicing the truth we refer to as the Law of One. The Law of One Society is but one incarnation of a long line of groups and spiritual movements past and present that have and continue to spread the universal truth that All Is One. We are dedicated to re-awakening this awareness in others by being an example of Oneness and Infinite Love made manifest in our daily lives. Many within our network follow different paths. Some practice different religions or spiritual beliefs. Some find purpose through more practical applications of Oneness in our society, while others find it through its more mystical or metaphysical aspects. Nevertheless, we are all bound by our awareness and understanding that beyond all belief within the Illusion of Separation there is but one inescapable and underlying Truth—that All Is One.
