Affirm
& Learn Program
I
talked about the Affirm and Learn Program for Children in our
September Passport. We are pleased to announce that the Affirm and
Learn Program is now in effect as a pilot project in a Grade Three
class in a County School in Washington State.
As we stated in the last Passport 20000, this is a program
that motivates students to learn and enjoy studying. The Affirm
and Learn Program stirs the creativity in the students and
motivates them to learn more as well as have fun studying new
things. Students learn how to think positive, happy thoughts, how
to work in teams, respect and how to interact successfully with
other students.
In this program there are many writing and oral assignments,
class interaction, exercises and various projects to assist the
students in learning. They will learn new positive words such as
love, respect, co-operation, consideration, etc. and exercises to
help them be happier, more relaxed and open to learning and
achieving self-growth. They are also encouraged to draw, write
skits, poems and stories. The best ones will be awarded prizes and
so be published in this Passport 2000 newsletter.
Look for the first one in our next Passport 2000. This
program is based on positive thinking and affirmations.
Affirmations are simply goals or wishes; only they are more
structured and specific. To affirm is to make firm and the basis
of all affirmations in positive thinking.
We also presented the Grade Three class with the Affirmation
Family. They were very well received and it was my pleasure to
attend the Grade three classes in person at the beginning of the
school year in September.
The children loved the Affirmation Family. They thought Aff
the dad was great, Irm the Mom was very nurturing and Ation the
boy was full of life and Mai the girl was sweet. They also loved
Master the cat and Short Form the Dog.
After presenting the Affirmation Family to the Grade Three
Class, I asked students if they could remember the names. They
were incredible and the only one they had a little trouble with
remembering was Short Form the Dog they called him Sort or Shorty.
This pilot program will run for the school year and then it
will be offered to School Boards in both Washington State and
Canada. We are very excited about this project.
Marjie,
my wonderful friend, partner and teacher, who is implementing this
project, reports that the students are responding very well to our
Affirm and Learn Program and enjoying learning. If anyone is
interested in learning more about this program, etc. please e-mail
me Anne Marie
We
are always very pleased to receive your input, information, ideas
and suggestions.

Dear Anne Marie:
I have been reading and enjoying your Passport 2000 for several
months now. I was wondering if you have ever considered printing
them out and mailing them out? My mother does not have a computer
or email, but I know she would greatly benefit from reading your
Newsletter.
What
would it cost to have copies of each month’s newsletter mailed
directly to her in England?
Thank
you, Trudi
Dear
Trudi:
Please
e-mail me or drop me a line with your mother’s address and I
will be delighted to mail a copy to her each month. As
for cost, I would appreciate a donation just to cover the postage.
Love
Anne Marie

Hello Kit!
Here are two affirmations that you can use – One for the
morning (a.m.) and the other for the evening, (p.m.).
A.M. Sample Morning affirmation
“I Kit deserve and now am filled with
peace, joy, love and happiness. This day I am filled with
wonderful, loving energy. Learning comes easy for me and I excel
at my studies. I am happy the whole day to the good of all parties
concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,”
(Kit to make this even more effective, you can do the following
exercise upon rising)
Everyone has an aura (energy field around them.) I refer to it
as my Magic, Magnetic Circle.
The Magic,
Magnetic Circle Procedure:
If possible stand in front of a window or outside.
Stand with your feet a few inches apart. Raise your arms from your
shoulders and turn slowly around (clockwise). If you are able to
do this in front of a window or outside visualize the wonderful,
positive energy coming into your Magic, Magnetic Circle (your
personal aura or energy field) from the God, the Universe, stars,
sun, moon, clouds, sky, trees and all of nature.
As you turn, say slowly to yourself,”
I, Kit now magnetize into my Magic, Magnetic
Circle peace joy love and happiness to me, which extends to
everyone I meet today. I am filled with God’s loving energy. I
attract the right people and circumstances to me now. Studying and

Have you ever wondered what is the greatest power that has
ever been discovered? I believe it is the power of your thoughts
and the power of your mind!
The first time you have an idea or a thought about some
particular thing, it can be difficult. Think that thought again
and it becomes easier. Eventually it becomes a mental habit. This
habit when becomes automatic. Now you have actually created new
brain cells to accept this thought. Thought is creative.
Can you think of a time in your life when you actually
created new brain cells? Think about it. When I realize that
humans could actually live until 120 years of age and be healthy
and that human can think themselves healthy, I had to create a
whole new set of brain cells to accept the fact as the usual span
of life is only 70 years, not 120.
Do you think thoughts are powerful? Think about it. Thoughts
are similar to electricity, which is also very powerful. We think
with our minds and we have the choice what to think. No one can
ever taken our thoughts from us or think them for us. It is a very
individual process.
Did you know that the human eye cannot see thoughts, but a
particular machine can register thought vibrations? They can be
tracked and seen as squiggly lines on a special graph. We now have
an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagining Machine) that is so powerful
doctors can actually see thoughts change. They see the form of the
thought, not the actual thought itself.
Have you ever wondered what a thought would look like if you
were actually able to see it? I think it would probably be a wavy
line or it could like a cluster of grapes, going around and around
large ones, small ones, and all sizes.
When problems occur in your life ask yourself, “What must I
be thinking and concentrating on to create this chaos?”
The ability of an individual to think is his or her ability
to access and act upon the Universal Mind.
To access your thoughts, decide what you desire, think about
it, say it and write it using the Personal Contract Affirmation
Method.
For a moment let us give thought to thought itself. Thought
is mental action that takes place in the mind. The more we study,
think and mediate on thought, the more we come into the
realization of the fantastic force it is and how unlimited its
power is. Thought, like electricity cannot be seen, but it
certainly can be felt. It is primarily our ability to think that
sets us a part from the animal kingdom.
Do you think animals can really think about a problem and
come up with a solution? I really don’t; but I think they have
sketchy thought patterns. They must think about eating, mating,
being killed, being safe, scared, etc. I do not think they could
solve a math problem. Do you agree with me that they must have a
limited thinking capacity?
Effective thinking is an art that must be kept alive by
constant practice and use. There are two things required to think
(a) knowledge and (b) organization. You need the knowledge to make
the right decision. If you had nothing to plan for or think about,
think how boring life would be. If a person were completely
satisfied would there be any reason to think? Can a non-thinking
person be a happy person? I think not!
If a person is completely satisfied he or she would have
nothing to look forward to and nothing to work for. Human beings
are goal oriented and when one goal is completed they are eager
and must go on to the next one.
Thought means life and thinking makes the person. Thinking
clearly and effectively is the greatest asset of any human being.
Thoughts or ideas created all objects. Everything started as
a thought in someone's mind. First the thought, then the word,
discussion, then the plan then the action and ultimately the
manifestation of that thought.
It is true we do have control over some of our thoughts, but
a greatest majority of them spring up from our subconscious mind.
These thoughts and ideas express through association with one
another. One thought prompts another thought. Thoughts bombard us
constantly. Ideas and thoughts come from space and you give life
to your thoughts and make them real to you.
We can direct our thinking process but a great deal of our
thoughts bubble up directly from the subconscious mind.
Most of our thinking is a circular series of odds and ends
that we are only vaguely aware of. Little gnawing details of our
lives… what we will and will not do. They nag, gossip and worry
us in endless repetition.
Thoughts can make or break a person. They exhibit outwardly
what they are inwardly. You choose what you wish to think and
belief from the huge procession of thoughts that march through
your mind continuously. This procession is never ending. Each
thought follows another one in an endless stream. You discard some
thoughts and accept others or tailor them to suit your individual
needs. When you totally accept a thought, it becomes part of you.
It is then added to your reality. You put that thought into words.
Can we completely take back what we say? I personally do not
think so. We can explain or mitigate them but we are unable to
take back words spoken entirely. Until words are spoken
you are in control, after words are spoken, they control you.
Did you know that you can locate feelings and thoughts in
your body? Your body changes with or without your knowledge and
with no help from you. In fact you would not have the faintest
idea of how to help your subconscious mind. Did you know that
yesterday's person disappeared with the night and a whole new
person appeared in the morning? This person can be full of new
thoughts, choices and ideas. You have a whole new chance to change
your method of thinking.
You have the power of thought at your command. Imagine the
impact of that statement. Positive constructive thought gives you
the power to create something that is fine, great and noble. When
you think, you impress the subconscious mind and the subconscious
mind does not distinguish between a positive a negative thought.
It must respond. You can change negative habits with the practice
of the Personal Contract Affirmation Method.
Think of the power generated by a single thought!

Dear
Maya:
I
loved your poem and story. I have a story that I would like to
share with you and the Passport readers.
This
event took place three months ago. My three-year-old son Nicolas
was taking his usual afternoon nap. I was very tired and had been
working very hard house cleaning as my relatives from overseas
were coming to visit.
I
thought I would lie down for a few minutes while Nicolas was
sleeping. I woke up with a start. It was two hours later.
I rushed to see if Nicolas was awake and to my horror he was
not in his bed. I panicked ran out of the house and started
running down the street, yelling at the top of my voice “Nicolas,
Nicolas where are you?” Some neighbors came out to see what all
the fuss was about and I cried, “Please, please help me my son
is missing. He was not in his bed. I can’t find him, please
help!”
The neighbors and neighborhood children got into the act and
started searching with me. It was about 4:00 p.m. and it was
beginning to get dark. All sorts of horrible pictures flashed into
my mind about Nicholas being taken by a stranger, him falling in
the near by creek, lying hurt or dead. I was beside myself.
I tried to calm down, but I could not. My neighbors called
my husband, and the police. I was distraught. “Please
God” I prayed, “If I must go through this, make the people who
took him be kind to him. He is such a sweet, little boy.” Then I
beat myself up for oversleeping. I was mad at my relatives for
coming to visit, my house, my husband and I was mostly at myself.
About an hour later, I heard a voice in my head saying to
me. “Check out your bedroom.” But I argued with
myself I had already searched my whole house as well as many other
people.
Again it came to me very strong. “Check out your bedroom.”
I thought I better listen and ran back into the house. I searched
the bedroom and no Nicolas. “Now what I thought, what can I do?”
I was wringing my hands, and in so doing I dropped a card
containing a telephone number that someone gave me. I bent down to
pick it up and just then my eyes fell upon a small crack between
two mattresses that we were storing in our bedroom.
I could not believe my eyes, there was Nicolas curled up
sound asleep between the two mattresses. We had not even thought
to look between them. He was safe!
What a relief and I know that it was my miracle. I am so
happy to share it with you and the readers. Also now I do listen
to that small, still voice that speaks within us.
Thank
you for printing my letter.

Dear Caroline:
I have
been going with this fella Jack for about two years. He told me
that he was starting a new business and needed some help. My
girlfriend is an accountant and I asked her to come over to talk
to him about how she could be of help, etc.
Would you
believe... he started hitting on her. I could not believe my eyes.
When I confronted him the next day about it, he said he was so
drunk he could not remember anything. He also said he was sorry if
he did anything to hurt me. Jack and I had been speaking about a
long-term relationship leading to marriage, but this situation has
thrown a monkey wrench into the relationship. What would you
advise in this sticky situation? Gail
Dear Gail:
Trust is very important in a relationship. When you are at a
party and your boyfriend is drinking are you going to be able to
trust that he does not come onto another friend. He is
showing his true colors when he drinks. Alcohol lessens
inhibitions and reveals something about his real character.
Why would you want to expend any more time before getting married.
Two years is long enough. If you have doubts now, I would
suggest you forget about marriage to Jack. Do an
affirmation and the right man will come along.
Happy Hunting – Caroline -- Psychic & Counselor
Dear Caroline:
I was
rear-ended by a drunk driver several months ago. When I saw him
get out of the car and come staggering toward me, it brought back
memories of my uncle being drunk and beating me.
On top of
this horrible experience, the insurance company is not helping in
the least. In fact they are inferring that it was my fault! They
have not paid for my expenses, time off work or any compensation.
Do you think I am being foolish about the flashbacks about my
uncle or is this a real issue for me? Would forgiveness help? How
would you handle the insurance company and their fancy, high paid
lawyers?
Thank
you for your help Lorraine
Dear Lorraine:
You are not being
foolish about flashbacks regarding your uncle. This seems to
be an issue with you and I would suggest you get some
counseling. In regard to the accident, run do not walk to
your own lawyer. One who specializes in accidents and
personal injury. These lawyers will accept your case on a
contingent fee basis. That is, you only pay them a portion
of what they recover for you. Ask around and make sure you
get a lawyer who deals with insurance companies and their
lawyers. I would also suggest doing an affirmation for
success in obtaining the right lawyer and winning the case.
Good Luck -- Caroline -- Psychic & Counselor

Are You Present in the Now?
"Alphonse, you look incredible, what happened?" I asked
at the annual Spring Festival in Naramata the last part of April.
This bright 60-year-old handsome man looked directly with his warm
brown eyes into mine and said, "I am surrendering to whatever
and whoever is right in front of me."
The change was so remarkable. I had met Alphonse throughout the
years at different events and at friend's houses and I never got
his full impact. He had the eyes of the future, a bit glazed and I
never really 'felt' him. He always seemed to be looking for
something or someone.
Back to the retreat. When Al and I talked face to face, I felt
bathed in a Holy Presence. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in The Goose is
Out writes: "When you withdraw all your energy from past and
future, a tremendous explosion happens."
Not only was Al totally present with me but his surrendering
felt like sweet warm honey. He was this way with others as well.
What greater gift can we give ourselves and others than being
totally present, completely ourselves? Another friend is close to
taking a course and doesn't look forward to being with his teacher
who is always smiling. What are we missing by not being genuine at
every moment?
Sometimes we get more goodies when we're honest. The owner of
the restaurant came by and said, "Ladies, how is
everything?" I was just ready to mumble "Ok." ,
when I piped up, "I didn't get a very big piece of
chicken." He went to kitchen and brought me some more.
How does one become genuine? We are born with it and usually
not encouraged through childhood or even adulthood. There was a
'whatever' time for me in my twenties which was my answer to
everything. "What do you want to do?" "Oh,
whatever." "Where do you want to eat?" "Oh,
wherever." I find it easier to be genuine the older I get and
it's addictive. It feels so good.
It seems like the more we let go of our beliefs, issues and
assumptions about others and life, the more we can be present. Try
being close to someone who is so intent on converting you with
their religion or multi-level marketing product that all they see
you as is a future convert.
These are some of the things that help me keep present.
- tell the truth
- take enough time by myself so I know my truth (walking in
nature is a favorite) feed my body, mind and soul with what's
good for them
- surrender and relax in the moment to get its full
impact-letting go of any preconceptions of what this moment
should look like.
Here's a quick exercise that helps me become present instantly.
Put your hand on your heart and feel your chest rise up and down
as you take a few slow deep breaths. and remember... this very
moment is a gift, that's why it is called the present!

The Phoenix News Network presents Ask
Anne Marie -- The Affirmation Column (Re-printed
with permission from Nicole M. Whitney, Publisher of Solution
Oriented News, The Phoenix North Shore Edition -- August, 2000).
Dear
Anne Marie:
I have a copy of your book on Affirmations and I read your
column regularly. I found the Angel Letter Method you spoke about
in your column for the past two months very intriguing. I used the
Angel Letter Method on my husband when we had an argument. As I
was writing out my Angel Letters, I had a very strong feeling that
I should bake an Angel Food Cake for my husband and I. My question
is what thoughts should I be putting into the ingredients when I
am baking the cake? I thought about saying, "Please give me a
sign if Rob and I are meant to stay together." What words
would you suggest that I use? Tami
Dear Tami:
What a great idea! I just love the idea of adding another
dimension when doing the Angel Letter Method. Actually you would
be adding the sense of taste to the exercise. I would suggest
using the following words. "Divine Love, Divine Order and
Divine Wisdom in my marriage." Think these thoughts and words
while making the Angel Food cake and allow them to blend in with
your ingredients.
Then enjoy eating it with Rob knowing than you are
sharing these wonderful, powerful words with him in this very
creative, interesting process.
I would not say, "Please give me a sign if you and Rob
are meant to be together" is that statement could be
construed as being negative. Please let me know how the whole
process works for you!
Happy Affirming -- Anne Marie
Dear Anne Marie:
You have encouraged me for the past year. You have been an
earth angel to me and you have inspired and encouraged me. I am so
grateful for your friendship and kindness. Your book, Passport to
Happiness has taught me to thank God and the Universe every day
for all my blessings. I thought I had the affirmation process
just right, however it was not until I read your book and spoke to
you personally that I realized I had overlooked some very
important factors in my daily regime of doing affirmations. Thank
you, Thank you, Thank you. Bettie
Dear Bettie:
Thank you so very much for your kind letter. We all do need
encouragement. Please keep on doing affirmations and living in an
attitude of gratitude for all your blessings. When we do this, we
open the flood gates of Heaven for even more blessings. Also more
gathers more and when we say thank you, we obligate the planet for
more happiness. I, too thank God daily for my blessings. Anne
Marie

“I, (your name) deserve and now am thankful for my blessings.
I know this is a time of giving thanks and sharing with family and
friends. I appreciate all God’s blessings. I enjoy the simple
act of ‘hugging a tree.” I stop and smell the roses. As I
enjoy my thanksgiving dinner with my family and friend, I really
feel gratitude bubbling up in me.
I give thanks for the soft, gentle rain that makes the trees,
flowers and plants grow. I am thankful for each and every day and
I live it to the fullest. I am happy and contented to the good of
all parties concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”
