OK guys, have at it...

Dear Group,



The last step remains to be taken - we have to get this file into PDF form
including a suitable title page. However, the raw Word document form of it
has now been posted to the Files section here:

I think you'll find it to be quite an inspiration. It cuts right to the core
of the most important, most easily forgotten Law of One principles about how
to deal with experience and use it productively as catalyst.



I have another book scanned in and ready for transcription and will probably
get a third going today as well.



Peace be with you -



- David

Thanks to the wonders of Apple Macs it's simple to create a pdf from
any printable document.

I've made one from the .doc file and it came out at 1.2 MB. It might
be possible to compress it a bit
but I haven't tried that yet. I haven't made any amendments to the
source document (such as a title
page) either, but can have a go if necessary.

Shall I upload this or does someone (DW, Chris etc?) want to give it
the once-over first?

Of course, as and when the other documents are available I'm happy to
pdf them too.

Richard

Can I ask...is there any particular reason why the format in question *has*
to be pdf? Pdf's only real virtue is printability...it's undesirable in
probably every other respect. The files are huge as Richard said, they're
entirely non-editable, and in some situations they're a pain to read...a
browser has to load a plugin to view them, which can often be unstable.

Unless there's an intractable requirement for pdf, I'd strongly recommend
HTML. It's very editable for the web itself, it can be converted easily to
a better form for printing via Word, (or Wordpad/Open Office, for people who
don't have Microsoft Office) file size is much smaller, and it also
compresses much more efficiently if you want to zip it.

WOWWWW I love this. A few years back I had read from Gregg Braden that the Earth
is currently a initiation chamber.Mabe he is one of the 50 who have read this ?
Last week my sister said " It is so sad that so much bad things have happened
to such a nice person as you" I told her that they were blessings in disguise".
Also last weeK I was reading a web journal of a friend who was with me inside
the great pyramid in Egypt. She collapsed inside as we were ascending the
passageway into the Kings chamber. I was reading about her feelings and
wondering WHY? Why because I had felt the opposite. I was actually singing out
loud to myself " I love you, I love you on the desent. I had traveled alone (
even though I was with you, David & the rest of the group, It took courage to go
alone and leave my husband home.I knew that if I had not met &survived
challenges and much sorrow in this life that I would of never had the
COURAGE.Thanks for this material and I just love ther timing!

A : I wasn't a slave to fashion and read it all in its rinky Microsoft Word
glory. This came at such a good time, and I practically finished it as soon
as I got it. The things I had been working on in my writing this morning
before I cracked it open followed the same vein of painful experiences and
accepting them as catalysts, so I was particularly open and able to
assimilate it quickly.

I think it's good as is, standalone, and since her writing is so strong, the
introduction is almost unnecessary, but for someone who is foreign to the
Convergence concepts and the Ra sessions (though chances are if you're
reading it... you might not be) I could see it helping put it in a frame.

She's clearly drawing from a large pool of esoteric knowledge and knows
where to put it all together. And what she said, too, about multiple selves
existing within the body is true, and is what Robert Bruce says in "Astral
Dynamics" (just started reading). It was also part of the Egyptian
understanding of the human being-- body, name, shadow, the Ba, and the Ka,
and how they perceived the soul as being at least bicameral in nature.

But she touches on all the important things-- the function of adversity,
appreciating children, money attitudes, I Ching, etc. Very inspirational.
Right now, though, after reading about the divining methods, I really want a
book that is like that section, lists of various straight up intuitive
exercises, but without having to wade through cosmology again, for the
purpose of "now you read this stuff see for yourself" and spiritual muscle
tone.

Be well,
A

Why are you browsing PDFs from inside the browser? You lose tons of
screen real estate via the menus and toolbars hogging the screen!

If you use firefox, download the extension called "PDF Download" It
gives you a mini dialog prompting you if you wish to download, or open
it in the native PDF viewer (handy on OSX), with the ability for you to
customize how it should handle PDF links.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/636/

I understand your frustration with PDFs. I didn't care much for them
either, at first, but now I love them.

Acrobat Reader (on full-screen browsing) is MUCH nicer for reading PDFs
then HTML. HTML stinks for equation markup. With PDFs you get accurate
WYSIWUG. The non-editableness is only a problem if you don't have
Acrobat Professional. I usually print the PDFs and make notes in the
margins, for the "real" reference material, or make my own set of "Coles
Notes." These days I spend time distilling all books down to the
essential 1-10 pages.

Advantages of PDFs:
+ PDFs are self-contained. All images are embedded so no problems of
missing links/images. Much easier to distribute. Having just ONE file
that people can use shouldn't be under-estimated.
+ PDFs are compressed. When you have a lot of text, HTML is bloated.
+ PDFs are portable. Windows, OSX, Linux, etc. can all read them. (Why
force users to download yet-another-word-processor like OpenOffice??)

Most PDFs should be less then 1 Meg. Any larger and the author is using
an old PDF exporter, or the document has lots of graphics.

I've produced Professional Catalogs where the raw photo assets are
around 1 ~Gig! Using InDesign, the PDFs are ~4 Megs (all graphics are
exported as jpegs @ 72 dpi.) (My PDF of "Shift of the Ages" is ~3 Megs,
which I see I still need to upload to this group.) Our 600 dpi PDF that
we send off to the printers is 24 Megs.

Peace

possible to compress it a bit but I haven't tried that yet. I haven't
made any amendments to the source document (such as a title page)
either, but can have a go if necessary.

PI: Software i use converted file to 1/3 that size (400KB), also without
compression or title page. With title page in *.doc format, file size in
*.pdf might increase by 10KB, if consistent with current conversion.

What to do?

Peace & Love, pi
