This is one of the points if the Enlightenment Intensive - to know who you are!

Is that a relief? thework.com

Just in case you have no idea what an Enlightenment Intensive is, I will share what it is not! It is not a lecture. It is not a new technique to learn and add to the list of dozens of tools you already know and don't use. Think of it as "spring" house cleaning for your soul. It is an event. An experience and a process. You do not go home and practice the process after the event is complete. Instead, it clears away the cobwebs so to speak, the gunk junking up your direct connection with your source. Leaving you cleaner and clearer so maybe you will use some of the tools you already have, or maybe you will realize you don't necessarily need them. It could very well be the most important thing you do for yourself ever!

Good Saturday Afternoon Enlightened Warriors!

I am so excited for Mystic Perception - The Opening Enlightenment Intensive in May I can barely contain myself! It has been way too long since we've had this event in Colorado!

Here is what a former attendee wrote to Martin recently.

As the title of the event indicates, it is specifically designed to allow participants to directly experience the Divine within us, i.e. “open to a direct enlightenment experience”. Although no words can describe it, opening to this Divine aspect within (that which is truly “you”) can leave a lasting and positive impression in your life. This is the same work done by the great masters, sages, and mystics throughout history.

This peak spiritual experience can be achieved within a few days by following a simple technique, which you will be taught at the event. Personally I can still recall in vivid detail my first direct experience from over a decade ago. It quite literally changed my outlook on how I viewed myself, others, life and what lies beyond my passing from this world. In a nutshell I realized I was part of something greater than just the sum of my parts (mind, ego, body). My journey of self-realization continues today as I incorporate the truth of who I am into my daily life.

If you are curious to experience for yourself what the mystics and masters have written about throughout the ages then this event is for you. All I can say is that you will not be disappointed if you go.

I believe in this event because I have seen the positive impacts it has had in my life and those around me. For me, unreasonable happiness is no longer just a phrase but something I can experience in each moment if I choose to.

Feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be interested or who might benefit from this event.

Love to you,
Marc Meyer

If that is not enough to intrigue you and convince you to join us . . . well I am not sure what will be! My own experiences were very similar to what Marc describes.

We have 3 participants confirmed at this time - which is fantastic! We are only 2 1/2 months out - so even though May sounds far off, the time to act is NOW!

Folks have been inquiring about transportation options. The closest commercial airport is Denver International Airport (DIA).

There is a regional airport if you pilot your own plane http://www.flynoco.com/

There are many transportation options, some of which are shown below.

I have put a post on the website http://mypieceofthepuzzle.com/index.php/2017/02/11/ride-share-board/ which hopefully will allow attendees to communicate via comments and coordinate ride sharing.

I would LOVE to see us hit 10 attendees before the end of February! Please share the word - I can send you an electronic flyer to help you do so!

Thanks! I am looking forward to seeing you in May!

A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone." -- Jo Goodwin

During this week's Banned Books Week, we celebrated an author who has defended the freedom to read for over forty years -- Judy Blume. The beloved author of many Mighty Girl favorites such as "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret", "Deenie", and "Tiger Eyes," Blume has been writing children's and young adult fiction for decades. But what her many young fans rarely realize is that her frank discussion of topics like religion, puberty, and sexuality in these books -- the same honesty that makes them so appealing to young readers -- has made her one of the most frequently challenged children's authors.

In our tribute post, we honor Judy Blume's career, both as an author of many beloved Mighty Girl books and as a determined and forceful voice against censorship and book banning. At a time when Blume's books still face frequent challenges, her experiences combating censorship -- and her powerful words about the value of making complex and daring books accessible to kids -- are more important than ever.

10-year-old Faith Jackson of Altrincham, England loves to read. How much? In 2014, this Mighty Girl read 942 books -- an average of 464 pages a day! It’s a remarkable feat all on its own, but even more inspiring considering that the avid reader used to struggle with literacy. Now, she’s thrilled to be spreading the word about the joys of reading with other kids.

When Faith was around six or seven, she could barely read at all. Her mother, Laura Jackson, says, “When they tested her it came back as having dyslexic tendencies.” However, both her parents found ways to encourage her to keep trying. "I think the main thing was we didn't push her and they didn't make her read all the time at school. We just read to her instead to help her enjoy books rather than making it a big deal. It finally did click for her -- and then it just went off into the stratosphere.”

After Faith's voracious reading came to public attention, she discovered that one of her favorite authors, Holly Webb, dedicated a recent book called “The Forgotten Puppy” to her. “It was a complete surprise,” Faith says. “I just saw it when I opened the book, I was so happy and super, duper, triple-duper flabbergasted. It was so surprising because why would she choose me? She’s a proper famous author who’s written so many books and she could have chosen any one of a katrillion people.”

After reading so many books ranging from Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl classics to newer releases, she's often asked about her favorite book. According to Faith, “It’s really hard to choose just one favorite but I’ll say the Harry Potter books, especially the first one because I love magic and adventure, and it has both, which makes it one of the best.” Ultimately, the young bookworm, who's also actively involved with karate, gymnastics and drumming, hopes to inspire other kids to discover the joys of a good book: “It gives you new ideas and you can get lost in another world, which is really fun.”
