September 3, 7pm – MOVIE: NO END IN SIGHT

This in-depth, Oscar-nominated documentary from filmmaker (and former Brookings Institution fellow) Charles Ferguson examines the decisions that led to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and the handling of the subsequent occupation by President George W. Bush and his administration. Featuring exclusive interviews with central players and detailed analysis, the film pulls no punches as it chronicles the twists and turns America took on the path to war. The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq’s descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider’s tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003) as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers, and prominent analysts. NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy – the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government, and the disbanding of the Iraqi military – largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today. How did a group of men with little or no military experience, knowledge of the Arab world or personal experience in Iraq come to make such flagrantly debilitating decisions? NO END IN SIGHT dissects the people, issues and facts behind the Bush Administration’s decisions and their consequences on the ground to provide a powerful look into how arrogance and ignorance turned a military victory into a seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a war. http://www.noendinsightmovie.com/

Great singing, special music, inspiring and challenging messages, and loving people! Coffee and lite refreshments served after every meeting.

Sue's series for August is: WILL THE REAL JESUS PLEASE STAND UP!
Much of what we have been taught about the life of Jesus has gotten in the way of the greater truth. He has by most popular accounts been entombed in the caskets of another world, another time and another place. I hope we can remove the myth to uncover the deeper meaning of the Jesus experience, the power of which caused the story to be written in the first place.

Mondays, 6:30-8:30pm – CHOIR PRACTICE at The Gathering

Facillitated by local graduates of Oneness University, Sue Bailey and Nancy Thompson. Contact either for more information. At the Aquarian Building, 238 Peachtree in Cocoa; ($20 suggested love offering). "We believe that ultimately deeksha leads to what we call Oneness. You lose the sense of separation. People feel as though they all belong to the same family. We believe the world will become one global family." Sri Bhagavan, Oneness University. "The way that the Oneness Blessing affects the brain brings a shift out of the mind into pure experiencing... The healthy brain does not create endless thinking but instead brings the capacity to experience life in an ecstatic way." Arjuna Ardagh.

6) S.T.A.R. GUILD & ASTOLOGY CLASSES W/LESLIE MARLAR

Leslie is a degreed, licensed, and certified astrologer who has been studying astrology for 30 years and has practiced and taught locally since the late ‘80s. She leads a monthly astrology group that meets the second Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Cocoa Library. All who are interested are welcome, and it is Free! Call Leslie Marlar for more info at 321-779-0604. Her web site lesliemarlar.com/ has a monthly sun sign column, a monthly new and full moon column, and a look at the astrology of each day column. You may want to take a look. There is also a piece on 2007.

2nd Wednesday of each month, 7pm – STAR GUILD ASTROLOGY in Cocoa Library

On Wednesday, June 11 we'll revisit what Mars has been doing and its effect on our charts, so bring your charts. We'll look at a couple of charts of earthquakes, and revisit the idea of signatures in our charts. We have seen Mars activity in the sky correspond to events on earth. The opposition of Mars to Jupiter, in April and early May while Mars was still in Cancer, brought a number of events. Stimulating Mars opposing religious Jupiter brought a visit from the Pope. Troublesome Mars in the domestic sign Cancer opposing Jupiter in the government sign Capricorn was mirrored in the event of Texas authorities disrupting homes by removing children from the polygamist sect camp. The devastating cyclone in Myanmar happened under this opposition. Difficult weather corresponding to these planets makes sense when you remember that the 4 Florida hurricanes of '04 happened under Mars conjunct Jupiter and in '07 two cat 5 hurricanes hit Mexico while Mars was opposing Jupiter. An interesting addition to this opposition was that Jupiter was near the 1st magnitude star, Antares, and Mars was near the 1st magnitude star, Aldebaran. In April and May, Saturn has been near the 1st magnitude star, Regulus. This added to the correspondents in the Myanmar cyclone and the China quake. As hurricane season starts we need to look at what is coming astrologically. Mars will be in the same sign as Saturn in July and the 1st 2 and ½ weeks of August. This is an important correspondent for storms. Fortunately, it does not happen during the peak of the season, but I will unpack and fire up the new generator just in case.

19) KUMARI HEALING: ANIMAL COMMUNICATOR AND REIKI MASTER

Rev. Kumari Mullin, JD, was a practicing attorney when her father died suddenly from lung cancer in 1988. Sitting by his bedside in intensive care, she felt there was much more to offer than merely tending to his physical needs, even though he received the finest medical care. This led her on an intense quest to deepen her spiritual understanding of illness and death and to discover ways to ease suffering for all beings. For the past 19 years she studied and lived with internationally acclaimed Meditation Masters, Reiki Masters and also with interspecies tele pathic communication pioneer Penelope Smith. Kumari is a Reiki Master, Animal Communicator and intuitive healer, attorney, author, and counselor. Kumari is the owner and president of Kumari Inc. and member of The Reiki Alliance. Her healing experience spans a wide variety of venues, including psychiatric practice, private practice, social services, youth and family agencies and an AIDS and cancer respite. Kumari's first love was an ex-race horse named Happy. Her passion for unveiling the deeply spiritual connection between humans and animals evokes the mystical from the mundane. Her clients and students include doctors, veterinarians, trainers, holistic practitioners and other animal and medical professionals. Contact: Kumari Mullin, PO Box 1354, Roseland, FL 32957 ~ 772-589-9803 ~ kumarijaya@bellsouth.net ~ kumari-healing.com.

The Herb Corner and Learning Center, 227 N. Babcock St., Melbourne, FL 32935, www.herbcorner.net. If you have any questions please call Cecelia at the shop: 321-757-7522 or email: herbcorner@cfl.rr.com. Green Blessings and Good Health.

Any day, any time during business hours – AMETHYST BIOMAT = ENERGY ERUPTION!

Got a few "old age" creaks and groans? The BioMat uses far infrared rays that "soak in" at least 6 inches...and your cells (blood vessels, lymph glands, nerves in the deepest parts of your body) use that energy for healing. Infrared rays are what the sun sends out, so just think of it like warming in the sun...with the sun beneath you! The mat also puts out negative ions like waterfalls and the ocean do (that's why you end up feeling invigorated after a morning at the beach). As you relax on the mat, your cells suck in negative ions, purifying blood, improving your immune system, controlling your automatic nervous system. It vitalizes cell metabolism and relieves pain. Sound like something you'd like to "cook" your aches and pains on? Call us and reserve a spot...I'll bring the spatula to flip you...(just joking).....and by the way, while the BioMat works well by itself, you will get much better results when Maria works with you using Quantum Touch to "pull out the negative energy". You will be that something which science can't fully explain can work so wonderfully! Call Maria or Cecelia for more information and to schedule an appointment at 321-757-7522.

Have you experienced the death of a family member, loved one, or friend? Did you have unresolved questions, concerns, or lingering issues that couldn't be resolved? Do you sometimes wish that you could contact those people who have passed on in hopes of receiving closure, answers, or maybe guidance? People have been trying to contact those who have crossed over for centuries using a wide variety of means. Today, people are going to psychic mediums in ever increasing numbers as the media opens up this avenue to larger audiences across the globe. The desire to seek a medium's help has gained a much broader acceptance due to the greater visibility and study of psychic phenomena. Most people are now familiar with John Edward's show where random audience members are given messages from the other side. Popular TV shows like Medium depict psychic investigators who aid law enforcement agencies in solving crimes. However, interest in happenings on the other side is not exclusive to Hollywood. The Herb Corner and Learning Center of Melbourne is proud to present Cross Over Readings with Maria. In a small group setting, participants will have the life-affirming experience of receiving messages, insights, and comfort from those who have passed on before us.

Thursdays, 7:15-8:15pm – MEDITATION NIGHT with Lilac Rose

FREE Event! Health benefits of Meditation: Though meditation is usually recognized as a largely spiritual practice, it also has many health benefits. Meditation techniques are being implemented in management of life threatening diseases; in transformation of molecular and genetic structure; in reversal of mental illnesses, in accelerated learning programs, in perceptions and communications beyond the physical, in solving problems and atomic and nuclear physics; in gaining better ecological understanding; in management of lifestyle and future world problems. Some benefits of meditation are: • It lowers oxygen consumption • It decreases respiratory rate • It increases blood flow and slows the heart rate • Increases exercise tolerance in heart patients • Leads to a deeper level of relaxation • Good for people with high blood pressure as it brings the B.P. to normal • Reduces anxiety attacks by lowering the levels of blood lactate • Decreases muscle tension (any pain due to tension) and headaches • Builds self-confidence • It increases serotonin production which influences mood and behaviour • Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression, obesity, insomnia and headaches • Helps in chronic diseases like allergies , arthritis etc. • Reduces Pre- menstrual Syndrome • Helps in post-operative healing • Enhances the immune system. Research has revealed that meditation increases activity of 'natural-killer cells', which kill bacteria and cancer cells • Also reduces activity of viruses and emotional distress. How meditation busts stress? Meditation comes to the rescue in such a situation and induces 'RELAXATION RESPONSE' . Dr Benson (used to work at Harvard Medical School, did a research of physiological effects of meditation) found that there was a counter-balancing mechanism to the fight-or-flight response in most stress-inducing situations. As stress is induced by stimulation of the- hypothalamus of the brain Relaxation can achieved by countering this stimulation - by stimulating other areas of the brain. This is achieved by doing meditation, which leads to state of deep rest. So come join us for a night of Meditation
