"John, your site has the calm and quiet of still forest glades, of ancient holy places. This essence, this gentle peace, is the spirit you have somehow embodied here. You have taken what appears at first just another house of page-views and crafted it into a chapel of electrons, a refuge where business and other travelers can pause and recharge spiritually. Today's fast-forward world offers so few havens for re-centering ourselves or for re-grounding our spiritual energies. Thanks so much for making this site, John. Its quiet impact will soothe every soul who pauses here."
Charles Burke - Author of "Inside the Minds of Winners" www.sizzlingedge.com

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

Dear Reader:

I've been away from the office for a little while and,
now that I'm back, it's time to send you another of my
infrequent newsletters.

I was fortunate to be in New York City recently to take
part in the memorial service held by my cousin who lost
her only two children in the tragedy of 9/11. Today's
article chronicles some of my observations during my
visit.

In less than two weeks, Bob Scheinfeld's new book,
"Busting Loose from the Money Game" will be released.
Much as the name suggests that the theme is "money," it
goes much deeper than that to the very core of our
being. I will send a special email when it is released
so that you, too, could add this fantastic volume to
your reading list.

There are three very important announcements, which
you'll find in the section below called "Some Important
Information". Please take a few minutes or so to go
through that section.

Please pass the article or the entire newsletter on to
as many friends and family as possible. Let's all join
to make this world a better place for everyone.

Thank you. Now on to the newsletter.

QUOTES TO REMEMBER
-------------------------------------------------------

"In the end we'll remember not the words of our
enemies, but the silence of our friends."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"No one can give you wisdom. You must discover it for
yourself, on the journey through life, which no one can
take for you."
-- Sun Bear

ARTICLE: "A Time to Remember"
-------------------------------------------------------

A John Harricharan Article

It was early in the evening when the phone call came.
Reaching over, I grabbed the phone and was greeted by
my cousin who lives in New York City. There was a deep
sadness in her voice as she told me that she personally
wanted to call me and invite me to the 5-year memorial
service she'd be having for her two children.

Although I have spoken with this cousin a number of
times since that tragic day, September 11th, five years
ago, it had been about 30 years since I last saw her.
My work and other time constraints made it highly
unlikely that I would be able to attend the event. And,
so, I told her that I wasn't sure that I could come,
but I'd try.

After the phone call, I dismissed the matter with the
thought that I'd send a card with beautiful words of
comfort and hope. As days went on, my thoughts were
absorbed with other things such as my writing, my
websites, my business associates, my books, my friends,
my children ... .

My children? Yes, many of us who have children always
think about them and trust that they do well. Mine were
doing fine, but I still worried a bit. Someone once
told me in jest that the first 40 years of raising
children are the hardest.

Here I was, thinking of my children who were happy and
successful whereas my cousin would never see her only
two children on this Earth again. Her daughter and son
were both in their twenties and were at work at the
World Trade Center when the planes struck. What a
dreadful affair that must have been for their
mother.

And so, I decided to attend the memorial service. It
was one of the best things I ever could have done. Just
being there with friends and family members I hadn't
seen in years served as a reminder to me of what was
important in life.

Though nothing could bring back my cousin's children,
my presence and that of others brought a small degree
of comfort and hope and made it possible for her to
"keep on keeping on." I would have been selfish indeed,
had I let my work and other commitments prevented me
from making that trip.

We may not usually think that we have an effect on the
lives of others, but we would be amazed at how wrong we
could be. We do not need to make great contributions to
the world -- just small, consistent ones to those whose
lives we touch. We could help so many people by just
taking the time to listen to them, comfort them or just
bring them hope.

I am glad that I visited my cousin. I gained so much by
being there. I will never be able to understand exactly
how she feels. Nobody could really understand exactly
how someone else feels, but we could get a general
idea. If we are understanding and compassionate, we
will not only feel better about ourselves, but we may
have a tremendous, beneficial effect on those whose
lives we touch.

MORE QUOTES TO REMEMBER
-------------------------------------------------------

"It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to
put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and
the power of contemplation rather than upon mere
survival."
-- Aristotle

SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------

If you've ever wanted to write a book and make it a
success, I will help you. For the first time in almost
two years, I am again offering my eclass on how to
write your book and promote it using methods most
authors, or authors-to-be are not aware of. There are a
few spaces remaining in this eclass. It normally fills
up quickly once I've announced it to the readers of
this newsletter. You'll find all the information at the
website by clicking this link

However, if you already are an author of one or more
books and find that you have difficulty in promoting
and marketing your book, (remember that you are
responsible for promoting your book -- your publisher
will do very little) you may want to check out Alex
Mandossian's "Virtual Book Tour" teleseminars. He has
successfully promoted authors such as Mark Victor
Hansen, Joe Vitale and others. I was so impressed with
what the course has to offer that I've personally
signed up. You'll find the information by clicking here

(I understand that the offer ends on September
22nd so please check it out right away if you're
interested.)
------------------

Between November 10th and 17th, there will be a unique
opportunity to listen to and learn from over 35 special
speakers. It's the first time I've seen something of
this sort put together in one place where it could be
accessed by telephone or the internet. Among the
speakers will be Mark Victor Hansen, Bob Proctor, Marc
Allen, Barbara DeAngelis, Scott Martineau, T Harv Eker,
Jay Abraham, Senator Bob Graham and many others.

I consider it an honor to have been asked to
participate in this great event. I'll be interviewed on
the topic, "The Awesome Powers of Belief and
Abundance." There will be something for everyone. Those
who check it out right away may be eligible to receive
a valuable coupon, which could be used on the signup
date of September 26th.

The best way for you to get all the information is to
go directly to the site by clicking this link.

I hope I get to meet many of you during my interview.
I'll also be listening to most of the other speakers.
And you don't have to listen live to the information.
You could get the MP3 files and the notes of each
speaker. This is destined to be a rare, special event.
Please don't delay. The discount coupon is still
available and signup is on September 26th

------------------

One of the most fantastic books that came on the market
recently is "Dying Was the Best Thing That Ever
Happened to Me." It was written by Dr. William E.
Hablitzel and rather than being a book of sadness, it
is one that brings tremendous hope and joy to the
reader and shows the dignity and triumph of the human
spirit.

The true stories are so moving and filled with wisdom
that at one point I found myself wiping a tear from my
eye. This is definitely one of my highest
recommendations.

You should visit his website and download the free copy
of Chapter 1. Read the introduction, the foreword and
the testimonials. You'll want to add this book to your
favorites. Go to the website by clicking here.

POEM: "Abou Ben Adhem"
-------------------------------------------------------

James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859)

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the Presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?" The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so,"
Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still; and said, "I pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow-men."

The Angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,
And, lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest!
