"The paradigm shift we seek will not
come from inside the one we're in. To discover it, we must be willing to
let go not only of what we know but of how we
know, and surrender to the intelligence of the body. To do otherwise is
to crave the discovery of distant lands while unwilling to leave familiar
shores. "
Louise LeBrun

Spotlight On — The Call to Awaken!
You may recall from the February Newsletter that our Declaration of Evolution by Intention contains a reference to the fact that in order to be a living expression of this intention, who we must become includes:
An opportunity to engage life differently with:
- A call to women to lead and co-create with men differently;
and
- An invitation for men to relax into new ways of being.
We are now moving forward with a program experience for women to support this potential.
Sekhmet Rising: The Call to Awaken is intended to create an inviting, safe and compelling place for women to gather; to engage authentically and from the deep layers of their own insights; and to discover what really lights them up! Over the years of working with both men and women, we’ve discovered that when women are able to define and claim what brings meaning into their lives, and discover how to hold their ground in its creation, not only do their lives expand but they become the invitation to all around them to do the same, for themselves.
As women find their voice and become willing to express it, we are also noticing that the men in their lives – although sometimes startled by the first round of conversation! – are discovering that they too, now have permission to reconsider how else they might move through their world. It is truly an amazing thing to witness, when freedom comes to town. In the dance of co-creation that men and women engage, consider what becomes possible when both are already creators of their own experience. Consider how much more powerful co-creation becomes when both parties, as individuals, are themselves creators in their own right. Then – and only then – can co-creation become the powerful, generative process that it is possible for it to be.
If you’re ready to discover how else you might move through your world; if you’re ready to move away from the stance of ‘victim’, or being ‘at the mercy of’ your environment or the people in it, you’re ready for The Call to Awaken. Each of these conversations is unique, shaped by the interests of the women who create them. Without an agenda, manual, games or tests, The Call to Awaken is just that – a call to discover what moves inside you that is so potent for you that once heard, you can no longer ignore it.
Your one-day, power-house experience will wrap around you from the time you arrive until you’re ready to call it a day. Your environment will offer you comfort and privacy; good food and good service. Expect to be well taken care of! You’ll arrive to coffee, tea and hot muffins; be greeted by a Facilitator who is a co-author of the soon-to-be-released collaborative book called Sekhmet Rising: The Restlessness of Women’s Genius; share a complimentary lunch with other women on a journey of like mind; and leave at the end of the day, awakened to your own potential. When you go, you’ll leave having made new contacts and connections, knowing that on this amazing journey called life, you are never alone. And finally, you’ll have lots of opportunity to explore ‘where do I go from here” – confirming what you’ve always known deep inside you: There is always more.
We look forward to sharing this day with you, in the experience of discovering what life’s all about for you.

Quick Updates
It’s a Happening World: Interviews on the Web
It took awhile, but we’ve finally entered one of the fastest growing areas of the Internet: web broadcasting. It’s a Happening World is a new interview show that will feature conversations about what those of us at the WEL-Systems Institute and our business associates are up to these days. Our plan is to produce at least one interview each week, so stay tuned.
We start with two items that will be of interest to people who are curious about life and looking for opportunities to expand the horizons of their thinking:
Creativity and Huna– May 15-19, Oceanstone, N.S.
We all have those fantasies of a week away from it all …a few days to relax and reclaim who we are …a few days with time just for us …with time to discover something new about ourselves but that doesn’t involve sitting around in a dull classroom …a time to let our imagination expand and explore new frontiers …and a time to have our bodies pampered.
Listen as Gwen McCauley and Louise LeBrun describe what you can expect
at their up-coming Creativity and Huna retreat and as they describe why
they’ve selected Oceanstone
Inn as their retreat centre of choice. Listen now : www.WEL-Systems.com/articles/mp3
Registration for this transformative getaway closes on April 15 th so don’t delay. A maximum of 20 participants will be accepted. Call Gwen at 613-254-7218 for more information or register at Creativity@WEL-Systems.com.
Icons of the Fields Interview
In addition to Louise’s article in this month’s Thought Waves column, listen to Louise’s recent interview about her experience at the recent Icons of the Field Conference in London, England.
I explore with Louise what types of materials were presented at the conference, the relationship of the scientific discoveries she encountered there to a WEL-Systems perspective and the key idea that Louise took away from the conference.
Hear what Louise had to say now: www.WEL-Systems.com/articles/mp3

Your Opportunity to Make a Difference
In the coming year , we'll be working on a new book that will pull all of the WEL-Systems body of knowledge together, in one place - from its origins in the mid-80's to its current expression. Right now, you would have to read three books (Fully Alive from 9 to 5! , Phoenix Rising and When the Horse Dies, Get Off... ) to cover the context (WEL-Systems model of the world), the framework for enquiry (The CODE Model™) and the intervention/experience (Quantum TLC™ - and there would still be information missing.
By this time next year, there will be one book that covers it all. The working title for this book is: Portals Passages: The Magic of WEL-Systems® ~ The Miracle of Your Life. If your life has been touched by the magic of a WEL-Systems perspective, we'd like to include your story in this new book.
We want to hear from you! We know that our clients have
profoundly reshaped their world and how they move through it from something
as simple as reading one of our books or listening to our original and cutting-edge
audio material, or through completion of the more extensive and intensive
Mystery School experiences. We also know that your willingness to share
the truth of your own experience is often the key to inspiring someone else
to take the leap to creating a more meaningful life for themselves. Allowing
others to bear witness to your personal transformation is their encouragement
and invitation to experience their own.
If you'd like us to include the story of your WEL-Systems journey and its impact on your life, send us an email at Louise@WEL-Systems.com and let us know. No need to worry about how it's written - we'll work with you so that it says what you want it to say.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Help for Small Business Owners
If you’re ready for a different conversation about money and your small business, check out two up-coming workshops called “ Minding Your Dollars and Cents” and “Keeping Score”. Both workshops are offered by Mike DiLauro of DiLauro & Company. The theme of Minding Your Dollars and Cents is that there’s more than one way to define a successful business. Indeed the goal is to suggest that many of the generally accepted benchmarks of a successful business don’t always apply.
Targeted at non-financial types, Keeping Score is ideal for the small-business owner who wants to understand the art of financial management. Held here in Ottawa on May 16th and 17th, visit www.dilauro.ca to register or to obtain more information.
Magic and Miracles
Read what Jackie Zirpdji of Transformations+ has to say about our ACE (Accelerated Company Evolution) program.
"I was extremely pleased with the ACE program. It has helped me define and refine what I would like to create through my current strategy that I call Transformations+, it has opened up the whole world of writing as a possibility for creating and attracting, it has supported me in moving through some of the "issues" that prevent me from creating and finally, I feel connected to a much larger community and do not feel so alone. So thank-you to you Gwen, Louise and Paul."

"Icons of the Field"
London, England
March 18 and 19, 2006
An Adventure in Startling Thought
The genius of Lynne McTaggart (author of What Doctors Don’t
Tell You and
the best-selling book The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of
the Universe)
is not limited to her astute investigative reporting on the not-so-astute
practices of the medial/pharmaceutical establishment. Two
recent days in London, England attending the Icons of the
Field 
conference
have also proven Lynne to be a powerful force in creating an upwardly
spiralling vortex of curiosity, excitement and a deep and abiding faith
in our own potential.
In addition to her lofty talents as author and speaker, Lynne McTaggart was the organizing force behind this amazing two-day experience that called to a London stage some of the greatest minds in the field of quantum physics and field theory. It is unlikely that those scurrying to work on the sidewalks surrounding the innocuous looking building near Regent’s Park had even a hint of awareness of the irreverent thoughts going on behind those walls.
Inside, from one speaker to the next, those of us fortunate enough to be there were awed, inspired, prodded and challenged. The potential of the cutting-edge thinking proffered by these giants, whose work is pressing the edges of the structure of what we so often mindlessly call ‘reality’, was not missed.
People like Karl Pribram (one of my personal heroes), who first introduced us more than two decades ago to the possibility of a holographic Universe. Others like Gary Schwartz and Pim van Lommel – a University professor and former cardiologist, respectively – who have devoted their lives and their science to exploring the existence of consciousness beyond its connection to the functioning brain. Yes, Virginia, there may well be a Santa Claus - or even more fantastic, evidence that consciousness survives….calibrates and remembers!.....when for all intents and purposes, the physical body is declared to be deceased.
The work of Schwartz and van Lommel goes a long way to helping us understand the experiences of those who have received far more than a body part after having undergone an organ transplant. In addition to getting their physical lives back, we’re discovering that these recipients in numbers too great to be ignored are also getting new memories, new interests and new tastes in food! Although the owner is deceased, the body organ continues to receive transmissions from the original identity of its owner. Hmm...that one could keep you up late at night.
We also heard from Konstantin Korotkov, a Russian-born scientist who has developed a technology far beyond what has until now been allowed for with Kirlian photography. With the development of his GDV, Korotkov can use a bio-electrography image generated from a subject’s finger tips to determine the state of wellness of the entire body. Non-invasive, painless and able to detect aberrations in a multitude of areas, this technology allows us to go beyond seeing the auric field that surrounds the human body and begin to allow it to guide us through our own journey of wellness.
As I watched the images change from those of ‘before mediation’ to ‘after meditation’, it occurred to me that what we might be witnessing in the gaps in the field had less to do with holes appearing in a field that should be intact, and more to do with the freedom that comes from no longer being isolated inside any barrier to the much more expansive Universal Field. It may well be that the greatest nourishment is not to be had in the cheese but in the holes that weave it together. More food for thought……
Amazingly (and I know I have already used that word!), William Tiller walked us in great detail through a recent experiment that demonstrated that the energy of thought could be captured and measured; and that this very energy could subsequently alter matter. The reason for the detail lay in the incredible implications of such a statement. And yet, one frame to the next, the evidence of his process was sound. We were now moving even further down the rabbit hole, hot on the heels of Alice in her new adventure!
Hal Puthoff shared with us his now declassified information on the current research being conducted by the US government in remote viewing. This is about being able to get reliable information from people who are physically ‘here’ but able to project their awareness to far and distant locations/people and gather accurate and useable information. Turns out that the US got involved after discovering that the Russians had been at it for quite some time! Not to be outdone, they stepped into the game and startled themselves with their own results.
All these wonderful, brilliant, courageous souls gathering around the attractor that is Lynne McTaggart. Each of them involved in their own research, with their incredible networks of great thinkers, each of them connected to the other but worlds removed from our daily thoughts - until Lynne McTaggart decided to bring them together and share them with all of us.
For a very reasonable rate, we got to listen to these experts formally share their up-to-the-minute discoveries AND have access to them for conversations during breaks. To a person, each was welcoming, inviting and very willing to share all that they knew.
As I watched and listened in the last hour of the last day, I saw all of them take the stage and invite questions from the participants. As people engaged, I became aware of a sensation creeping through my body that I was not quite familiar with – and then I realized: I was awe-struck by them all! These are the people who are doing the work of the god of the culture – SCIENCE – and in so doing, are giving us all permission to reach far beyond our own limitations! These brave souls are willing to step into their genius and allow it to reveal to them, rather than trying to shape their discoveries to meet existing expectations. It takes great courage to do so and I, in the company of close to 500 other participants, am deeply grateful.
As the conference came to a close, I was aware of the degree to which those of us who also share a WEL-Systems ® perspective are also living the expression of this material on a daily basis. Through the frameworks of the Quantum Biological Human™, BioBaby™, Signals Dancing™, Quantum TLC™ and The CODE Model™, we have now, for more than 10 years, been able to engage the wonders of who we are – wonders only just now being named by this cutting edge science – in creating lives for ourselves that are not only meaningful but that also reflect the depth of our own potential.
On the long flight back to Ottawa, I had lots of time to revisit our Declaration of Evolution by Intention and to connect the dots from what I had just heard over those two days to what I’ve instinctively known for more than 20 years. And in that moment, I was reminded that the great discovery of Karl Pribram of the holographic nature of the Universe was indeed, only an intuition those 20-some-odd years ago. Today, it is science.
As I stand firm in what I know to be possible for us all as quantum biological humans, I hold myself in extremely good company to know that intuition is a gateway for something far beyond the platform it stands on. In our never-ending search for the new paradigm, it may well be time for us to notice that we will never birth a new paradigm out of the exiting one. The new paradigm we seek will not be a product of our knowledge or of our intellect but will come from where we least expect it.
I offer for you to consider that the quantum leap into the new paradigm of our existence will come directly from the body. When we learn to trust the incredible quantum biological instrument that we are; and when we become willing to surrender our intellect to our body and allow the body to lead, then – and only then – will it happen. And when it does, we will have become living expressions of the Field that we so intently explore!
