ABOUT THIS ISSUE
This special issue #24 is all about lightworker internet resources. Over the past few years, thousand of fantastic web sites, newsgroups, mailing lists, chat rooms, e-mail newsletters and more have sprung up all over the internet. Of all the communities making use of the internet, the lightworker community is leading the way in showing others how to come together on the internet! It is truly inspiring to see so many people following their will and inner vision in order to make a difference.
Yes, there are hundreds, thousands, even millions of lightworkers around the world connecting with each other in a great new way. This is when we have power, when we amass in groups and work together to make a positive change in the world around us. Working together, we will help create the consciousness shift required to transcend the planet and all on her on it positively into the next millenium and the next dimension.
With this issue we have made an attempt to include many of the best internet resources that are available to lightworkers. Of course we would like to include all resources, but simply can't. And with each passing month and year this task becomes greater and greater. However, we have tried to include as many of the best resources we have found. We anticipate that this will be an annual special issue, so if we missed your resource this year send us some e-mail and we'll try to include you next time around.

NEW AGE WEB SITES
Without question, there are a huge number of spiritually-based new age web sites on the net. In most all cases, they are well-conceived, interesting, thought provoking and inspiring. Web sites are one of the easiest and most effective ways for people and organizations to help share their message with the world. Unfortunately, it is simply impossible for us to list all the great web sites in this newsletter. So, in our review of web sites, we have chosen to include the best directory-style web sites. These web site creators have done an admirable job of making a herculean effort to catalog, list, and compile various metaphysical web sites and lightworker resources, and thus are listed below

MAILING LISTS
What's the Best Kept Secret on the internet? MAILING LISTS! Now you know.
If you've never been on a mailing list before, it can be a lot of fun. Mailing lists are different from e-mail newsletters (like this one). When you subscribe to a mailing list, you receive other people's e-mail posts to the list. Thus, everyone receives everyone else's e-mail postings to the mailing list. This can generate quite a bit of mail, but it can also create a unique sense of community amongst members of the list.

MAILING LIST THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS
There are two things you should know before venturing into the world of mailing lists
1) Mailing lists can generate lots of e-mail.
2) Mailing lists have natural life cycles.
VOLUME OF E-MAIL - Although most mailing lists generate on average only about 5 - 25 e-mails a day, some mailing lists we've been on have generated 50, 100 and even 200 e-mails a day! But don't let this discourage you. To manage your mailing lists effectively, you may want to make use of the filtering capabilities of your e-mail program. Set your filters to filter incoming messages from your various mailing lists into their own mailboxes, and then read and respond to messages at your convenience. If your e-mail program doesn’t have filtering capabilities, download one that does! (more about this later)
CYCLES OF E-MAIL LISTS - All e-mail lists have natural cycles. Depending on when you join the list, the mailing list could be very active, quiet, or in the middle of a big discussion. All mailing lists change slightly over time, as people unsubscribe and new people join the list.
Mailing lists can be curious things. Sometimes people try to dominate or take over lists. Sometimes people try to steer the conversation to their view on the subject at hand. Sometimes people have bitter disputes with one another, usually about nothing special.
Many times only a minority of the list members post regularly, with the majority of the mailing list members content with simply reading posts and watching the action (called lurking). This can be compared to a room full of people, with some people taking center stage and others more inclined to listen.
Regardless of all these issues, most of the time mailing lists involve meaningful, helpful and varied communication and interactive discussion on a specific topic. Mailing lists are a fantastic way for both experts and newbies and those in the middle to get together and share thoughts and ideas about a subject. So don't be shy. Join a mailing list, send some e-mail, and make some new friends!

E-MAIL SOFTWARE
E-mail is the most commonly used internet program. If you plan to take advantage of some of these mailing lists, newsletters, and more we suggest that you download and use the latest version of one of the leading e-mail programs. You may be surprised at what you have been missing in your e-mail.
We might suggest that you consider using Eudora, Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Outlook Express, or Calypso e-mail program. All are excellent e-mail programs, and include mail filtering, html mail capability, address books, blind carbon copy features, and much more. Download these programs at

NEW AGE NEWSGROUPS
Newsgroups are large collections of posts or information, kind of like a bulletin board. If you are looking through a newsgroup you can simply read posts made by others, post a new message yourself, or reply to someone else's posted message.
Usenet Newsgroups have been around for a while, and can offer a very wide range of information. If you can tolerate some off-topic posts and some occasionally wild discussion, you can find some jewels in the rough. Here are some Usenet Newsgroups to consider

If you cannot find some of these newsgroups, it is probably because your internet service provider (ISP) does not carry them all. The amount of information on Usenet newsgroups is absolutely huge, and many ISPs struggle to carry all newsgroups. Ask your ISP to add a newsgroup you are interested in, and they probably will.
There are two very powerful internet tools you can use to search the huge database of information stored on Usenet, including both current and all past posts to all Usenet newsgroups

EARTH HAS RISEN
Dear Ones, this morning I was sending Reiki when I suddenly had a vision.
I saw people bending down and touching the earth, and as they did so, light emanated from their hands. Mother Earth's belly, which had been cracked and swollen, started to rise. I saw a soldier in the Middle East trip and fall, and as he did so, his hand touched the earth and he felt a warmth rise from his hand. Others watched this, and seeing the light from his hand, bent down to do the same. People could feel a rising in themselves, as they were lifted up on Mother Earth's vibrations.
In the cold places of Iceland people were reaching down to touch the icy surface with their mittened hands as they felt the urge to be near the earth. Light radiated from their hands.
Across the seas in Canada, and down into the United States, people were stopping from the usual rush hour and reaching down to touch the earth. Light flew from their hands as they did so. Motorists on the freeways and those on the highways, would get out of their cars when they were stopped at lights, and reach down to touch the earth. They felt the energy and had to touch.
Down in South America people stopped what they were doing, to reach down and touch the earth. Everywhere, on mountains, in valleys, in cities and on the plains, people were touching the earth. As they did so, the earth rose. She rose in her vibrations and people no longer felt the feelings of anger, hatred, greed, jealousy, frustration and fear. They didn't need to any more. Somehow everything felt lighter.
The earth, which had suffered man's torments - her plunder, her rape, man's bloodshed upon her, her destruction of forests and the poisoning of her waters and atmosphere, had FORGIVEN man. She knew that mankind was learning and was really a spark of Divine light, and she had forgiven him. She had lifted up into a higher dimension.
This, my children, is now what has happened. If we can all visualise this happening, and peace entering people's hearts, their hearts opening with the joy they are feeling, then we have achieved our purpose and brought Peace on Earth.
