A Message from
Wayne C. Allen
A big welcome to those of you
that are new to
"Into the Centre"!
|
It's time for our Summer vacation, which means, like last year,
that I'm taking a few weeks off from writing Into the Centre. We'll
be returning for the September 8th issue. We'll be designing a new series of
articles in the interim, so if you have some "I wants," let us know.
We'll also be gently reminding you of our Voluntary Subscription idea. In
the mean time, from Dar and me, have a great rest of the Summer! 
Warmly, Wayne

For the technically inclined, we've devised a newsfeed for
the website, which specifically lists Into the Centre, our What's
New page and our What We're Reading page.
Point your Newsreader to The Phoenix Centre's website,
and if your Newsreader auto-detects it should pick up our feed. If you need to
type in the feed location, it's: http://www.phoenixcentre.com/livefeed2.xml
Lastly, if you want a great FREE Newsreader, check out FeedDemon!
This week's book recommendation!
This connects to Amazon in the US of A, and the price listed
above is current!
For Canadians, you'll have to do it the old way, or order from Amazon US. The
old way is to go to the website and click from there.

About Into the Centre - Voluntary Subscriptions
We'd like to give you the opportunity to make a donation toward our work, both with Into the Centre and with our website and free booklets.
We've set up a "product" at our Company Store, where you can use VISA or MasterCard to send us a donation. When we were exploring a subscription model, we thought 24.00CDN per year made sense - that's 50 cents an issue!
There is no suggested minimum (or maximum...;-) ) donation for using the "Voluntary Subscription" button, just below. There is no necessity that you do anything. If you choose to donate, you decide how, how much and how often.
Please note!:
1) Our Store uses Canadian dollars, so take that into account.
2) We hand process credit cards, so you won't receive automatic confirmation. We send an e-mail when we put your donation through manually.

This e-Zine is NEVER sent unsolicited or unconfirmed. If you ever wish to remove yourself from our list, or believe you're on the list in error,
and want to be removed, click here.
You'll find a link below and to the right that links to an archive of past articles.
We really appreciate subscription referrals and encourage you to send this E-Zine to friends. All we require is that you send the whole E-Zine, as opposed to clipping text.

Universal Rules
# 25 - There are no Universal Rules.
Including These.
click
here for the full list of rules
We've finally come to the end of our list of 25 Universal Rules, and of
course, at this juncture, we need to remember that there are no rules.
What we've actually been going through for 25 weeks are ideas or concepts to
be considered. As I've said before, the test of the effectiveness of anything is
whether it gets the results you want. It's this same with this list of
rules.
One of the dangers of learning something new is the curse of fundamentalism.
Pretty much any system of thought can be fundamental-ized - simply by demanding
that others see things the way the "true believer" does. And it
doesn't matter if the reason we give is, "this belief and behaviour is for
your own good." At the end of the day, we're not trying to create a
"cult of true believers." We just want you to examine your life and to
strengthen behaviours that work. Take some time this summer to gently
look at who you are, what you believe and what you want, for your self, your
relationships and your life. Use this opportunity to get quiet, go inside and
meditate on what we've been talking about. Re-read the past issues in this
series and see what appeals to you. We'll see you in a few weeks!
