Unity Founders: Charles and Myrtle Fillmore:
"God is the one perfect life flowing through us. God is the one pure substance out of which our organism is formed. God is the only reality of us; all else is but a shadow that is cast by some foolish belief or unwise combination of thoughts and the elements of being. When we let light flood us with its sunshine, all clouds vanish and we begin to
see ourselves in n
ew ways of doin
g, whic
h lead to wholeness and health and satisfaction and grow

Nanaimo Metaphysical Network presents:
Anna Christine Doehring on "The Keys of Enoch"-
June 2nd, 7pm
|
Nanaimo Metaphysical Network Presents Anna Christine Doehring, RHFP, RCP: Talk Title: The Keys of Enoch; Preparing Mankind for the Quantum Changes Affecting every level of Intelligence on this Planet on June 2nd, 7pm
Anna Christine Doehring, RHFP, RCP, is a certified practitioner of Reflexology, JinShinDo
®
-Acupressure,
®, CranioSacral®,
Reconnective Healing
®, and The Reconnection®. In
1998 she received the
Spiritual Gift of Healing
which one of her clients called Brain Rejuvenation. Not realizing the significance of this Divinely guided form of healing she had received, she kept looking for a very simple healing modality.
In 2007 she had found what she was looking for - Reconnective Healing
®. During her first
seminar she heard about Dr. Jakob Hurtak`s The Book of Knowledge - The Keys of Enoch. Since then she has been studying it and actually became addicted to reading it. This book came into existence to prepare mankind for the quantum changes affecting the planet and every level of intelligence upon this planet. In 1973, during a very long and intense spiritual experience, Dr. Hurtak was taken by Enoch and Metatron into the presence of the Divine Father. When he was before the Throne of Light a burning scroll was projected into his third eye along with the 64 Keys of The Book of Knowledge - The Keys of Enoch were transmitted. After his spiritual experience Dr. Hurta started to write The Keys of Enoch. All 64 chapters cover various areas of science. Dr. Hurtak has been in contact with many scientists to inform them about the changes in their field of expertise. The reason this book was presented during the seminar was that two chapters are about 'electrical medicine' and 'astronomical medicine' and are related to Reconnective Healing® and The Reconnection®.
On June 2nd, Anna Christine will talk about some interesting aspects of 'The Keys of Enoch' ... for example radio-physics, radio astronomy, communication, earth changes and our state of consciousness, what the 'Fall' of Adam and Eve meant for mankind, the three different types of humans that are on this planet, the twelve time warped areas, and the contact areas for the Brotherhood who tried several times to upgrade intelligence on this planet.
Now is the time and therefore the knowledge in this book is so important to mankind.
The last ten Keys are in the process of publication because humanity did not have the understanding before this time.

| Amy Bishop Concert-June 13th |
Amy Bishop will be here in concert on Thursday, June 13. We still have Tickets and they are $20 and are now available.
Amy Bishop's voice is a combination of smooth gravel and rough pavement, with the ability to charm listeners with her sweet tones, yet stun audiences with the ability to hit any high note.
Amy has collaborated with Moby, April Wine, Farmer's Daughter and Chris Cummings and was a finalist on season 1 of "The Launch".
More than a half a million people watched Amy Bishop as a finalist on CTV's "The Launch" and her voice was compared with those of Barbra Streisand, Carol King and Faith Hill.
This is the knockout singer-songwriter who made Scott Borchetta cry with her version of "Hallelujah" and producer Dan Huff comment that she is a "record-producer's dream" and with producer Dann Dunn saying, "She's among the top two percentile of female vocalists in the world!
Amy's vibe is Pop-Rock-Gospel-Blues and just about anything else. She can be smooth, she can be gravelly, she can exude love and she can blow the roof off! One night only.
Amy has sung for us before and we are very excited to have her back. She is Music Director at the Centre for Spiritual Living in Calgary. Amy's playlist is a surprising combination of original Spiritual songs, Bluesy old favorites and complete surprises. She has a fabulous sense of humour and her powerful voice with knock you out!! Please invite your friends!
Get you tickets now. She is sold out in Parksville already. You don't want to miss this!

 Sacred Hawaiian Healing & Manifestation
with Shaeah Love
Tuesday, June 18th

The ancient Hawaiians had a powerful connection to nature and the cosmos and believed in our ability to channel mana (life force) to heal ourselves and others. Engage in a lively evening where you'll learn some ancient Hawaiian chants, Huna Principles and we will perform a Kalana Hula (manifestation ritual) so think of a seed of intention or creation you would like to plant. There will be a live demonstration of Kahi Loa (Oneness through the moving or flowing of Sacred Energy). Kahi Loa, also known as Magic Touch Massage, is a Hawaiian Shamanic Healing modality that taps into the elements of nature to catalyze healing and it refers to a state of Unity with Life in its entirety.
7 lucky people will get to experience one of the elements.
Open to all ages and abilities.
