Editors Notes:

Dear Friends,

How’s it going?

I have almost totally given up making any plans or having any deadlines, especially for newsletters. Mike’s been working overtime and I’ve been putting in 10 hour days and just crashing when I get home. I know that you are probably experiencing the flow of life just as rapidly keeping you on the go also.

It’s been difficult. Just the other day I was entertaining the thought of becoming an atheist. I tried talking myself into believing that this presence of God and all these beings I’ve been talking to really do not exist. Thought it might make things easier.

Silly Me!

I try to keep reminding myself to stick to the basics and keep it simple! Here’s something I came across to remind us all of where God IS. Thank you to the unknown person who gave this to me.

P.S. We get letters and notes from readers enjoying the newsletter. Thanks for your input and support.

Love and Blessings,

Karen and Mike

 Spirit Communication

Spiritualism has and continues to prove that communication with the so called dead is a fact. It provides environments to develop mediums to accomplish this gift and to learn more from these communications about God and the universe.

We don’t see many physical mediums around these days. A person of this sort would have ectoplasm produced from their bodies to manifest spirit life forms for others to see and converse with. We also have had many mediums who did trumpet seances. Both of these experiences were done in a darkened room with great caution and care given to the medium’s physical body. Those who could and still can produce these phenomena went through much development and physical difficulty to achieve these abilities.

People question why we don’t see a lot of this today. Look how communication abilities today in our world keeps changing. Smaller phones, computers, satellites, you name it and it’s becoming more refined and easier and accessible for people to communicate..

Maybe we no longer need to prove that life is continuos.

Maybe we’ve grown in our spirit communication to have it be more refined and less difficult for it to take place.

We find that more in depth mental mediumship and by today’s terminology, channeling, is taking place. No more darkened rooms. Maybe Spiritualism is going through an evolvement of its own. Being brought out into the light so everyone can fully see and experience this abundant phenomena.

Our communication skills to contact spirits and/or other entities are becoming more refined and something everyone should know that they can do for themselves.

LOOKING THRU The Web

By Rev. Mike Gutzmer

First off in this issue, I want to send an appoligy to anyone who has tried to contact us in the last couple of months. We upgraded our computer to Windows 98 from Windows 3.1, heck of a jump. Anyways, when I did that I lost our connection with MCI One. Now before I made the jump, I called them and asked for upgrade software. They said they would send it but I could also get it from their Web Site. Well after I upgraded I went to their Web Site and attemped to down. I promply got a message back saying that they didn’t recognize my platform. After 3 more calls and still no software, I get the bill from MCI with 4 charges for the Internet. So, to make a long story short, I have dropped MCI and we are now connected through Prodigy, so please make a note of our new address. Oh bye the way, if you wrote to us during that time MCI refused to pass on the mail, so please write again.

Now that that’s out of the way, I want to let you know that I should finally have everything in line to be doing the FSCA Web Site on my own. Check it out and see what you think. Also, please sign our guest book.

Just a reminder for all of our Members and Auxilery Members if you have a site please send that to either myself or to Al and he will put in a link to you site thru ours and/or his, and if you would be kind enough please link to us. And, if I mention something here and you are not able to get on the Web to find it, call or write and I will try to get you a copy.

Love & Light,

Mike

Points of Intrest:

Here is the latest on Earthquakes from the last couple of days: http://www.nbc4la.com/seismo

Sept. 25, 1998 - 5.2 Magnitude - Ohio

Sept. 26, 1998 -4.6 Magnitude - South of Alaska

Sept. 26, 1998 - 4.2 Magnitude - Northwest Territorise, Canada

Sept. 27, 1998 - 5.0 Magnitude - Southern Alaska

 

And, here is the latest on a Volcano that is near us: http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/ USActivity.html

Popocatepetl, Mexico

Location: 19.0N, 98.6W

Elevation: 17,925 feet (5,465 m)

Last Updated: September 26, 1998

A moderate explosion produced a steam, gas and ash plume stretching about 2 miles (3

km) above Popocatepetl on September 23. The activity lasted about six minutes. Ash fall

was reported in several towns on the southwestern side of Mexico City. This is just the

latest in a string of explosive activity at the volcano over the last few days. Due to ejected

rocks during one explosion, one of the main seismic stations on Popocatepetl went out of

operation. As explosive activity could perstist, a warning has been issued for no one to

approach within 2.5 miles (4 km) of the crater.

Earth Changes **** Things To Be Aware Of

Did You Know?

FEMA has presented a report advising people to build a safety place within their residence to withstand winds over 200 mile an hour.

The Red Cross has detailed brochures for emergencies and survival items you may needed.

You already may be gathering water and food. Don’t forget to put aside extra clothing especially warm ones and also your personal items.

Keeping a reasonable amount of money set aside is good, but also remember that one may want to consider buying coins to keep as a trading commodity.

Consider what reading material you may want to put aside when there maybe nothing else to do.

I was channel surfing one night and came across Pat Robertson's show. Pastor’s were on explaining how they are getting their congregations to gather items for their church community when changes occur. Each family would be responsible for an item — one family may gather honey and another is responsible for flour.

The Russian computer system for their missiles will have no difficulty when the year 2000 arrives. The data fields can handle the 2000 shift.

Watch for 4/1/99 for any difficulty with Y 2 K computer problems. This day is the financial new year for Japan and the state of New York.

 So, Do You Really Think This Is Going To Happen?

 Some folks believe it’s awfully silly to be putting aside survival items and/or being concerned with our computers when we arrive at January 1, 2000.

Some folks will believe it when they see it.

Today, you can listen to many different religions and psychics who are saying it is time to prepare. We may have heard this before, but not from such a diverse group of people or organizations.

If you have chosen to “wait and see”, then I would ask you to go into prayer or mediation and ask God directly.

A long time ago, I remembered an experience that I had during sleep time. In this experience, myself and others were gathered in a large white room being instructed on what to do when the earth decided to make its move. We were shown maps and I remember walking up to the wall to view it. It depicted new land forms and what things would be looking like upon this planet. I also know that the detailed information we were given was veiled for the appropriate time of action.

I have usually been rather hesitant to share this with people, but I find that I must as time is of the essence.

Please know that this is not meant to be a message of fear. But instead one of love. We who are called forth to assist this planet gather with in the light of the creator and join with many of our planetary friends to assist humanity on its new journey of life.

You may be part of humanity which experiences inconveniences rather than turmoil.

You will be given intervals of time to adjust and reposition yourselves between earth's movement. Use what time is available to know your God. Review your life habits and ask your self Is It Really Necessary?

As we have stated before, Keep It Simple.

Your desire to know where, what, how is coming. We ask why?

What is pertinent for now is being shared. It is not necessary to burden ones mind with what is not important in the moment.

Be assured that you will be shown what to do. Have the knowingness of what you call faith that your God will not desert you.

Join with your family and friends to manifest the bond of love more fully. Talk about your fears and see them dissipate as you move that energy into motion instead of begin stored within you.

Begin to share with others your concerns and your truths. This will allow the energies to move and have the opportunity to change and heal.

Some of you may here this and ignore it, while others may run out tomorrow to buy, buy, buy.

We ask you to challenge this information for you yourself. Challenge it as if you were to challenge an unknown entity.

Don’t allow your ego’s pessimism nor your ego’s fear to live off balance with this.

Go to God directly, put your information in the light—does it still exist or did it disappear?

Hail To The Glory Of The Light

*** NATURAL CHOICES FOR LIFE ***

New Report Suggests At Least Four Supplements Daily Can Promote Health, Prevent Disease

Four supplements a day may deep the doctor away and promote long-term health, according to a new report released 3/31/98 by the Council for Responsible Nutrition(CRN). Daily use of four nutritional supplements (vitamin E, vitamin C, calcium and a multivitamin with folic acid) could cut people's risks of having heart attacks by 40%, protect vision during aging, prevent 50,000 hip fractures annually.... In addition, multivitamin use may substantially reduce infectious disease in the elderly. “We now have a substantial body of data showing that if everyone took a few supplements every day, they could significantly lower their risk of a multitude of serious disease,” said David Herber, M.D.,Ph.D., Director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition at the Univ. of California.

Optimal Nutrition for Good Health: The Benefits of Nutritional Supplements is a comprehensive report on the most recent scientific data on vitamins, minerals, fiber, carotenoids, fish oils and other nutritional supplements. The report’s author, Annette Dickinson, Ph.D., CRN’s Director of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs, highlighted the latest scientific data in the report and called upon government and private agencies that establish nutrition policy to recommend the regular use of supplements.

“While it’s sometimes argued that consumers can theoretically get everything they need from a diet, the fact is most people fall short,” Dr. Dickinsons said. “Poor dietary habits are the norm, not the exception.” (Pers. Note: Our soil today does not have the nutrients to give our food that value either. Karen)

Dr. Lester Packer, Ph.D., Professor, Dept. of Molecular and Cell Biology at the Univ. of California, Berkeley, observed that “It is difficult to obtain protective levels of some nutrients solely from diet. We know that generous intakes of the antioxidant vitamins C and E are required to reduce the risk of some chronic diseases. For instance, the amount of vitamin E believed to protect against disease is at least 100 international units (IU) per day, but most researchers think the optimum amount is more likely to be 400 IU. Supplements are clearly required to meet that level.”

Among the elderly, the routine use of multivitamin and mineral supplements could improve immune function and reduce infectious disease.

Regular use of antioxidant vitamin supplements including vitamins C and E could delay the onset of cataracts by 10 years and reduce the need for cataract operations by 50%.

This was taken off the Internet at Health World. http://www.healthy.net/library/news/nyt_yhd.html

Note: I’ve watched the Today Show for a long while. They had a doctor on regularly who in the past stated that vitamins didn’t work. Well, most recently I saw him on t.v. in which he said he was wrong in saying this and that there was proof that these things do help the body. Karen

FUNNY BONE CORNER

Taken from the Milwaukee Journal

Submitted by Mrs. D. Sowinski

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

 

Dear Abby: ...When I read the letter from “Lucky Old Guy in Oregon,” who’s wife is a health fanatic, I remembered the story about the couple who goes to heaven. It’s really wonderful- everything it’s cracked up to be, and more.

There is beautiful scenery everywhere they look, choirs of angels singing, superlative food and wine, the chance to hobnob with Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, or any of the great thinkers.

After a few days, the man turns to his wife and says,

“You know, I’m really mad at you.”

“Why?” she asks. “What did I do?”

He says, “you and your healthy lifestyle - no salt, no booze, no sugar, no meat, no

cigarettes, walk a mile every day. If it weren’t for you, we could have been here 10 years ago!”

Enough

To be spiritual

one must be unable

to harm another

In thought-word or deed,

but that is not enough.

One must be helpful

in thought-word and deed,

but that is not enough.

Not until one

forgetful of self,

lives to be of loving service
