Recently, I got a surprise in the mail. A long-time reader, Mark Herms, let it be known (in a big way) that he'd like to see the Awakening Path newsletter continue. I'd like to share with you what Mark wrote...

Vidya, In 1995, I was looking for some answers to a lot of religious questions I had. Through a friend, I read Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch. For me, it was the answer to a lot of questions I had. To this day, I still consider it the best book I ever read. From this new outlook on religion, God, and who and what I am came my next spiritual Adventure. I found the Ishaya Ascension methods in 1996. After attending a 3 day session, I knew it was a method of meditation I would use. Although I have only experienced a few deep experiences, I still practice whenever I can. For me, the experience of a deep ascension makes me feel like I am vibrating as I wake up. Then I seem to have perfect 20-20 vision on who I am and where I am going. It keeps me centered. As far as my donation goes, for years I have enjoyed reading the Awakening Path Newsletter. And like the path to hell was paved with good intentions, I several times intended to send a donation. I finally did. I hope it helps keep the Awakening Path going. Keep up the good work. Thanks for everything.        -- Mark
