‘Manifestation and the madness of me’ A talk at the Vale Centre, Stoke Trister, 7pm with Simon Heathcote Manifestation, the flexed muscle of the spiritualised ego, belongs to an adolescent and primitive stage of life. The success of ‘The Secret’ and popularity of The Law of Attraction speaks directly to the little me that seeks to bolster itself. But who is this me? And does getting what you want work? Advertising media has cottoned on to the hypnotic power of ‘giving you what you want’, citing it as a seductive mantra. It understands that what ‘you’ want is never enough and that ‘you’ is forever hooked on more. At root is a fundamental misunderstanding and an ego out of touch with the unconscious world. www.soulvision.co.uk

7 WORDS, 7 WISDOMS, 7 SUBTLE FORCES Speakers: James Burgess & Richard Grey

Tonight James and Richard will briefly outline the essence and benefits of the '7 Words' system of personal transformation, including some short, insightful exercises and essays. 7 Words is a new way of thinking about life and all its challenges and mysteries. It's a 21st century portrayal of ancient wisdom that demonstrates how the 7 fundamental life principles can most simply be described and embodied as one of these 7 primary words: No, Hello, Thanks, Goodbye, Please, Sorry and Yes . Each of these 7 primary words, when authentically understood and integrated within an emotionally mature individual, creates a 'field of energy' that registers and heals most deeply on the level of psychology: an inter-play of thoughts and feelings. In other words, each of the 7 words has an effect upon the mind and the heart, which translates into how we think and feel.

The method is universally useful. Its applications range from self-development and communication to business management and love affairs. In every case, this new way of thinking brings greater clarity and increased effectiveness, no matter what the purpose. This is because each of the 7 primary words touches us very deeply, in fact at the very core of our being, where simplicity is truth. www.7words.co.uk
