Friends hello! It's been a while and there's a few bits and bobs of news to report. Hope you are all doing well. We're having lovely fall weather here in southern ontario and i can barely drag myself in from backyard sunbathing to get this done! Hope it's the same for you, wherever you are.
First up is the contract signing for "An American In Heaven". o-books has been interested in the project for some time now, but a final commitment has just been made to publish in Sept/Oct09. I'm excited by this project, as it's an attempt to move afterlife knowledge from the new age audience to the fiction audience. I believe the fiction audience is ready for more than just ghost stories and and tales of those just making the initial transition to the 'other' world, and I can only hope my intuition will bridge the inevitable doubt gap brought about by marketing and its conventions.
My work has been excerpted in two online newsletters this summer, both originating in Britain. www.spiritrelease.com and www.paradigmshift.info. The first listed, I believe does not share its newsletter but the second does, so sign up for it if you wish. Both, btw, are very good sites and well worth exploring.
I have finally plucked up my nerve and executed a couple of youtube videos right from my laptop webcam. After months of debating and thinking I'd get to it any day now, I finally laid down my resistance and did it. The older wordofgord videos were all done with professional help (camera/lighting/editing). Links will be soon added to the "audio and video" page. Do let me know what you think.
We had a lovely weekend seminar sept27/28 here at the house, with all attendees declaring some level of progress and satisfaction, (the orbs seemed pleased too!) and I am sorry more of you couldn't make it. The "Maitreya and Oct 14th" video contains the Maitreya message channeled that day, and thanks are due to Sheila C. for kindly taking and editing the notes. Perhaps next time for those of you who were unable to attend? Next time will likely be a sunday in november, exact dates tba soon.
Blessings and cheesecake to all !........... Gordon Phinn

May 07/08Friends, hello again, some news and chit-chat for you.
More Adventures has been out in the world for several weeks now and show every sign of making new friends in all the English speaking markets. Reactions have varied from warm to enthusiastic, and I thank all of you who have taken the time to express your appreciations. The book represents an intense period of spiritual growth for me (2003/4), one where I felt myself expanding in every direction at once, rather like a balloon being blown up and wondering who in heck was doing the blowing, and when oh when would it ever stop.
I'm sure you will all plug in at the place you personally need to and find the answers you are currently seeking. If not you can always email me. Store's open 24/7 as you know.
During these past few months I've been fairly preoccupied with distance healing/influencing and one-on-one counseling situations. All of them challenging and intriguing, with each situation as unique as the individuals experiencing them. Basically, never a dull moment.
The earlier mention of possible talks and seminars in Europe has not panned out as I would have liked, mostly because too many other teachers bagged the spots before me. Make no mistake it's competitive out there. Reminds me of that old Dylan line, from Blonde On Blonde I think, "everybody's hustling just to have a little scene..."
On the other hand, my friend from Scotland Jock Brocas, who originally recommended More Adventures to John Hunt of o-books, is doing very well with his book on psychic self-defense, Powers Of the Sixth Sense, and looks set at this point for his own tv show. So watch out for that. And as he and his wife Joann are planning a move to Niagara-On-The-Lake this year, some of you will no doubt meet him at some point. As a man who has worked for British Intelligence services and currently does the odd exorcism, he has many fascinating tales to tell.
My chic-lit goes to the afterlife novel An American In Heaven has been provisionally accepted by o-books. I've somehow managed to convince John Hunt that the book trade will accept fiction from a newage publisher if we market it well. So three cheers for me. Question is, how can I get Sophie Kinsella, of Shopaholic fame, to endorse it? Please send your suggestions in soon.
Two radio shows and one book signing on the horizon:
May22nd, 11.00pm, another Richard Syrett show, this time focusing on retrievals. Listen live on CFRB 1010, that's Toronto area, or on your computer at www.cfrb.com/shows/50137 or check the audio archive later at "www.richardsyrett.com/index.htm"
May31st, 10:30am, it's Exploring Unexplained Phenomena with Scott Colborn on KZUM-FM from Lincoln, Nebraska www.kzum.org. EUP is the longest running metaphysical paranormal show on us radio, and is well worth the listen anytime. They too have an audio archive that can be accessed anytime. "http://www.friends-of-eup.mypodcasts.net" Links to these two will be up on this site a short time after broadcast.
June22nd, in the afternoon hours I will be in attendance at Akasha's Den in Oakville, signing copies of More Adventures and engaging in the usual mystical chit-chat I'm famous for. Meaning Of Life? No problem!
Finally, the second segment of An American In Heaven is now online at www.youtube.com
Until next time, your chum in eternity, gordon

Jan 15/08Friends, my advance copy of More Adventures In Eternity arrived from o-books this morning, and what a pleasure it is to finally hold it in my hands, after all these years of waiting! Rereading it takes me right back to 2004 and all the psychic exploration and challenge of that year. Life has calmed down a bit since then ! As far as I know right now, the rest of the stock will be available by the end of April. For those of you who can't wait the electronic version is still available, ($7 to Paypal). Thanks again to those of who've already read it and offered up your reactions; it's appreciated. In November/December 07 Maria Watson of o-books offered me several promotional opportunities in Europe this summer. Talks, trade shows and seminars. While nothing has been finalised, it looks likely that I'll be in London and France sometime this summer. I'll keep you posted as events unroll.
Over the winter I'll be facilitating several seminars, two at my home and two (so far) at Akashas Den in downtown Oakville. The first home seminar is Sunday Jan 27 and its topic is "Past Life Regression and Future Life Progression". The second is Sunday March 2 and concerns "Orbs and Alien Life Forms". Both are $100 per and a light lunch is provided. These are not introductory courses, I would suggest you have some background in each before thinking of attending. If you feel yourself requiring an entry level course, then my two evening seminars (feb 21 and 28) at Akashas Den would be ideal. The fee is $50 and refreshments are available. Please contact the store to reserve your spot. Details as below.

Day after day we are surrounded by spirit, and it is only our busy-ness which keeps us tied to this narrow band
of vibration we call physical incarnation. Join us tonight as we transcend this apparent limitation, joining with
our guides and departed loved ones to celebrate our oneness in eternal life. Through group meditation and guided
visualisation we shall allow ourselves to leave the illusion of separation and spend some time in joyous reunion. Many of us have glimpses, dreams and visions, of other lives and other places. Tonight we shall pick up those threads and follow them to their sources. Join us as we move through Space and Time and see who we were and how that influences who we are. Come and feel that vibrating web of karmic connections; it's not harder than you expect, it's easier than you think.
Gordon Phinn, a two year Oakville rsident, has conducted a thirty year study of metaphysics and the paranormal. A writer, teacher and psychic facilitator, his aim is to allow students to experience the transcendental for themselves and help launch them on their own inner journeys. His books include "Eternal Life And How To Enjoy It", "More Adventures In Eternity" and "Jesus and the Christ"
I've finally scanned the cover of "Jesus and The Christ" for the word of gord site. I have several extremely viable excuses as to why it took me so long, but I shall not bother you with any of them. Back before christmas we had a lovely evening together at Gifts For The Soul in Waterdown sharing the wisdom and energy of the project, and I'm hoping to have another similar evening at Akashas Den in March/April. If you're wondering about the contents, the page "ascended masters" will give you a fair sample of the dialogues. At some point I hope to have a dvd available of the entire book. It's envisioned as a words, music and dance presentation. Until next time, your chum in eternity, gordon.
Thursday February 21st: "Linking Up With Our Dear Departed"
