Imagine you could clear away all blocks and obstacles to getting what you want – all pain, anger and fear from the past, all physical and emotional blocks that are holding you back. Doorways and opportunities open up for your physical health, and your emotional and financial wealth.

Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT) is a therapy that helps you to do just that. Developed by Robert Detzler, SRT involves working with the Higher Self or High Self.

As you may know, the Higher Self is a part of ourselves that exists on a higher plane of existence, or a higher vibration. The Higher Self has access to all knowledge, and its nature that it is totally wise and compassionate.

You may have had an experience of something suddenly coming to you – perhaps a piece of information that you really need suddenly appears at your fingertips. You open a book, and there it is. Or the phone rings and the person on the other end of the line has the answer to a question you have been worrying or puzzling about. These are just a few examples of how the Higher Self works.

SRT is a way of working with the Higher Self to find detailed information. Once the Higher Self has researched the information, it can then eliminate the problem.

You may have heard of the Akashic Records – sometimes called the ‘soul records’. The Akashic Records are a record of everything that has ever happened throughout time and space, and the Higher Self has access to these records.

Using SRT, the Higher Self helps us to access these records through using a pendulum and a series of charts. There have been many cases of people being healed mentally, physically, and emotionally by using SRT.

For example, many times our money problems are linked to emotional blocks that stem from past experiences. SRT practitioners would say that these blocks are often linked to past lifetimes and they keep repeating time and time again until the blocks are cleared. Through SRT, the Higher Self researches and clears these blocks. In his books, The Freedom Path and Soul Re-Creation, Robert Detzler gives examples of people being healed of cancer and other serious and life-threatening conditions by using SRT.

The Higher Self excels at helping us to resolve conflicts, both inner and outer. If we are in a conflict with another person or group of people, the Higher Self will help us to find the best possible solution for everyone concerned.

Similarly, if there is a part of ourselves that we feel conflicted about, or that we disapprove of or don’t appreciate, the Higher Self can help us to heal this. It can help us to come to terms with all different parts of ourselves and heal and integrate the different parts of ourselves in a loving, compassionate way.

If there is something about yourself or your life that you habitually complain about, make jokes or sarcastic comments about, or despair about, ask your Higher Self to help you resolve this difficulty.

Training in SRT is demanding. The actual technique is fairly simple and straightforward, but it requires time and patience to master. You need to attend formal trainings to become an SRT practitioner.

People who have already done a lot of personal growth work on themselves tend to be attracted to learning and practicing SRT. It is particularly effective for medical practitioners and other healers, as clearing their own issues helps them to respond creatively to their patients. I believe we will be seeing a great many medical breakthroughs as more and more people learn SRT and begin to practice it.

SRT is developing very rapidly. These days, you can even “download” books and positive affirmations. Your Higher Self can help you attract healing, wisdom and knowledge. If you are motivated, your Higher Self will help you and give you all the support you need.

We will be holding introductory evenings to give more information about the basics of SRT.

Whether people call it weed, Indica seeds, marijuana, cannabis seeds, hemp seed, or any other name this plant is called, it is interesting discover that cannabis is obtained from a diversity of plants among which the Skunk family is the best known. This is an aromatic sinsemilla often recommended to beginners. This plant is and Afghani variety of marijuana that is widely used to mix with graft with other types of hallucinogen plants, although Skunk, Skunk # 1 Ultra, Euphoria, and Bud Oranje are distributed in their pure form.

From the Skunk variety, another is also obtained Ice, belladonna, Mazar, Super Skunk, Leshaze, Big Kahuna, and many other including the “female” Skunk # 11. This plant is genetically heat-resistant and its origins are 50% Mexican and 25% Colombian. Skunk has a very characteristic odor and produces euphoric effect that is energetic and long lasting. According to its origin and composition the different varieties receives names such as “The Pure”, “The Flying Dutchman”, etc.

Sativa seeds (marijuana seeds) also come from the family White, a plant native to Brazil and Southern India that revolutionized the weed culture in the early 1990′s. This type of marijuana is the most famous and it has being recognized and recommended for its therapeutic use that won different prices in worldwide competitions during the past years.

Scott Blade is the developer of varieties such as the original White Widow, the Great White Shark, White Rhino, and El Niño, although there are many marijuana banks that claim it’s discovering. After graft, the variety of White includes other genetic varieties such as the Great White Shark, White Russia, Manolito, Cristal, White Widow Nirvana, White Widow Dutch and Passion White Widow or Sjamaan.

The Blue family was created and developed by DJ Short in the region between Oregon, USA, and Canada during the 1970s. This family of marijuana plants include varieties that comes from Purple Thai and Afghani, form which resulted varieties such as Blue Moonshine y Blue Velvet, Flo, and Blueberry. Short developed this variety along with Duth Passion, Sagharmatha Seeds, and the Canadian Steve Breeder, producing a variety that smells and tastes as fruits. From this variety, other weed banks have developed Blue Misty, Nirvana, Coyote, and Blue Crazy.

There is an Afghan variety that is believed to have the most authentic Sensi Seeds, from which are produced varieties that include Hindu Kush, Shiva Shanti, Northern Lights, Sensi or Star of Durga, along with other plants and seeds considered truly gems. Afghan cannabis is champion among all the species for its speed flowering, the size of the plants and their physical and narcotics effects.

When it comes to Sativa seeds, there is pure plant called Durban Poison that is considered a Power Plant, which rapid growth and good flowering produce high-level seeds that smell like a mix of fragrant spices and wood. This variety of marijuana has a cultural background and produces and energetic cerebral effect. There are many other varieties from California, Nepal, Africa, and even the Himalayas, but we will talk about them the next time.

Being a golf nut it was natural for me to collect a number of books on golf. In fact I have thirty three.  This collection is eclectic in the sense that it covers about every aspect of the game that has been written about.  Some of these books were given to me, but most were purchased over my years of chasing this crazy game.  (Or is it the game makes you crazy?)

For the interest of other golf nuts looking for a good golf book to read, I have categorized my collection by subject.  Admittedly, you can argue about my categorization, but it should provide some help to anyone looking for a particular golf subject.  Below my collection divided into the following categories.

•    Historical (Old writings on golf)

•    Collections of Commentaries and Quotes by Writers and Players

•    Golf Instruction

•    The Mental Side of the Game
