As I read and listen to Dr. Schulze , one thing I have come to realize is what he says about giving material things away---scaling back. I had paid so much attention to his cleansing teachings, I failed to listen to obtaining true happiness by having less. If my memory serves me correctly, he wants you to give away a percentage of what you have. (not to him, either) I have been extremely blessed with material possessions.

So, as 2003 begins, I am scaling way back on different things. It won't be easy, but I know I can do it. The 1st thing I have done is to disconnect my 2nd phone line I have used for my computer. I downloaded a free answering service: www.callwave.com to answer my phone calls while I am on line. I also discontinued all the bells and whistles I had on my phone---call waiting, tracing, block, etc. I didn't need them anyway. Next comes cable TV.

I gave an appliance away that I still used to a family that needed it more. I am still in the learning stages about this giving stuff away and scaling down, but so far, it's a good feeling! Paulette G.
