LETTER FROM JOHN HARRICHARAN
-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Reader:

It has been entirely too long since I've been in touch, with you. The problem with email these days is everyone sends tons of emails selling everything on Earth. The problem I have is that I only send you three or four newsletters a year and hardly sell anything. If you look carefully, you'll see that this is the second newsletter I am sending out this year.

However, that is about to change. I will be trying to send out a newsletter, at least once a month. Those of you who've written to me asking me to send my newsletter more often, I've heard you. I am glad you enjoy the life-affirming articles, the inspirational quotes and the other information.

But please, please do me a favor. If you do not read or intend to read my newsletters, please go to the bottom of the email you used to get to this page and take yourself off the list. I will be sad to see you go, but I will know that only those who really want to benefit from Insight2000ezine will remain on the mailing list.

At least, I won't have to contend with readers like the one guy who wrote irate emails that he hated my newsletter and that I was not spiritual because he read somewhere that I eat chicken. He said that anyone who eats chicken is evil. All he had to do was to unsubscribe.

Or the other person who told me to stop writing these "silly newsletters" and prepare for the imminent invasion from Saturn so that I will be saved. I guess that with thousands of readers from over 150 countries, there will always be a few who would have major, divergent views about reality. And that's OK. There's an easy way for them to solve the problem. All they have to do is to take their names off the list.

And, yes, every once in a while, I recommend that you buy something that costs a few dollars. The reason for that is I really believe that the recommendation would help you. Most times, I send you gifts -- like free copies of my award-winning bestsellers, valuable audio files and such.

So again, if you do not read or intend to read my newsletters, if you think I shouldn't eat chicken or that I should prepare for the invasion from Saturn, just go to the bottom of the email that brought you to this page and follow the link that will remove your name from my list. I will miss you for a while, but life will continue. It always does.

Please read the section later in this newsletter that is called, "Some Important Information." It'll tell you about my writing and publishing course, which I give somewhat infrequently. It will offer you a chance to become an author. If you're at all interested in writing a book, or in getting your manuscript published, please let me know right away since this eclass always fills up quickly.

And now, thank you, and on to the newsletter.

John

P.S. I am also on FaceBook if you search for "John Harricharan"

QUOTEs TO REMEMBER
-------------------------------------------------------

"Prepare yourself for that which you are seeking. Know that what you are seeking is also seeking you. Know that the forces of the universe will rush in to bring that which you want, provided of course, you want it badly enough and believe that you can get it -- or better yet, deserve it."
--John Harricharan

"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet."
--Franz Kafka

ARTICLE: "A Dog's Tale"
-------------------------------------------------------

A John Harricharan Article

Long, long ago, I once had a dog. He was a beautiful dog, a purebred collie called Rajah. It's not that I didn't have other dogs before -- dogs with names that didn't seem dog-like, yet they were my dogs with names I picked for them -- names like Gelert, Magnet, Titan and such other monickers. But I digress, so let me get back to Rajah.

Rajah and I would run around the yard, go for long walks and generally enjoy life as only man and dog could. But one day, in that long ago time, my dog taught me a lesson that has remained with me and serves me well even to this day.

I had just returned from an overseas trip to East Africa. In those days, I traveled extensively and was able to visit some of the most fascinating places on Earth. But no matter how beautiful the scenery, how wonderful the visits, returning home was always a joy.

Soon after I arrived home, I decided to take Rajah for a short walk. After all, I hadn't seen him in almost two weeks. He must have been very excited to see me again because he started running all over the place, coming up to me, running away from me, returning back and then running away again.

After a while, it was time for me to go back into the house so I walked up to Rajah with the thought of putting the leash on him and taking him back. The minute he saw me coming to get him, he turned around and started running away. I ran after him, but to no avail. The more I chased him, the faster and farther he ran. This kept on for about five minutes and I was beginning to become a bit frustrated.

Perhaps, Rajah thought it was a new game to have me chasing after him, but whatever he thought didn't matter to me anymore. I was tired after my long flight and wanted to rest a bit and spend some time with my human family. So again, I ran after Rajah. Again he ran away. Every time I stopped running after him, he'd stop and look at me.

Suddenly, a new idea came to mind. I turned around, and started running away from Rajah. Immediately he chased after me and came right up close, so that I could put the leash on and take him back to his dog house.

You may be wondering what all this has to do with a lesson. Well, you see, solutions to our problems are somewhat like Rajah. That's what I learned many years ago. The more we chase after solutions, the farther away they seem to be. The answers seem to run away from us. However, when we stop running and put the problem out of our minds, the answers start running toward us.

Don't run after the answers to your problems. Just relax, become quiet and let the answers flow into your mind. The longest conversation we have is the one we have with ourselves from the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep.

Because we're busy talking to ourselves, the internal noise crowds out the very answers we're seeking. It is in becoming still that we start to hear the answers to our problems, we start to recognize the still, small voice of the universe.

It doesn't matter what the problems are. It could be a matter of money, relationship or health. The same force that solves one problem could solve any of the others. All we have to do is stop running, get quiet and create an environment in our being where the solutions come to us.

Rajah has been gone for many years, but he left me with a lesson that has served me well to this day. Desperately run after solutions to your problems and the very solutions you need will run away from you. Stop running and become quiet, and those solutions you thought were beyond your reach will come to you and change your world.

POEM: "My Wage"
-------------------------------------------------------

Jessie B. Rittenhouse

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you've set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have gladly paid.

STILL MORE QUOTES TO PONDER
-------------------------------------------------------

"Seeking after security, at the cost of all else, will bring security at the cost of everything else. Seek security as a means to an end and never as an end in itself."
--John Harricharan

"Wherever you go in the midst of movement and activity, carry your stillness within you. Then the chaotic movement around you will never overshadow your access to the reservoir of creativity, the field of pure potentiality." --Deepak Chopra
