Out of the Psychic Closet
No. 51, June / July, 2009

from the writing desk
Since I wrote to you last, I finished the edits for Out of the Psychic Closet and returned them to the publisher, Twilight Times Books. I'm now waiting for a print proof copy, so I'm hopeful that I'll be able to tell you in the next newsletter (or before) when the paperback book is available for purchase. You will also be able to purchase an e-book if that is your preference.
To go along with the promotion of Psychic Closet, I've decided to publish my reincarnation series as a complete set. Three of the books have been available in the past, however the last two books have never been published. When I'm finished I'll have a five-book series entitled Alma Chronicles. I'm very busy re-editing the four completed manuscripts and finishing the last one in the series.
I did make time to participate in one dream experiment and again found amazing results. These experiments have convinced me that, when people intend to dream certain things, they can do so. Also people can meet and communicate with each other in the dream world. These are some thrilling ideas to consider because they point toward a broader organization of thought, will, and intention and to a grander design of human potential than previously believed.

ON LOCATION WITH SETH by Mali Berger
Take the D train from 125 to 34/Herald Square, walk down Sixth Avenue to W. 30th Street and continue down to Seventh Avenue, turn left and enter 352, take elevator to the 16th floor and open door to the Seth Workshop in Manhattan where travelers study and practice Out of Body Experiences, Dreams and Lucid Dreams.
Artists, authors, musicians, scientists and those who just wanted the unique opportunity for explorations from inner selves to multi-dimensional universal experiences gathered together to learn from Rick Stack’s instructions. Since he studied with and was friend of Jane Roberts who channeled Seth’s teachings when in a trance, the two-day conference was not only beyond anything students could imagine but very hard work including Quantum Physics.
Since my own books have often been ‘received’ at 4:00 in the morning and my characters and settings often reflected more than my understanding, I’ve always known that the separation of my physical, awake self and the dreaming, asleep self were producing wildly different stories. I had read the Seth material many years ago and when the opportunity to attend an actual intensive workshop close to home that promised, “safe, fun and often considered to be one of the most exciting and transforming experiences of an individual’s life,” I took the plunge.
And plunge it was. I wanted to know how many of my stories reflected the Seth material. Since Rick Stack and Jane Robert’s husband, Bob Butts, were responsible for the publication of countless books and CD transcripts now available to us, I had come to the right place, thanks to Toby Heathcotte who had alerted me to the opportunity.
“You are dreaming, while you are in your terms, awake. In the dream state, you tune into your dreaming reality, but it happens all the time. You are awake whether or not you are dreaming, and you are dreaming whether or not you are awake.” Seth
“The dream state and the waking state whatever you think of them, and regardless of your belief, are one.” Seth
We spent hours listening to tapes, learning from Rick’s knowledge, and exploring reasons that kept us from dreaming or experiencing out of body travel. We discussed our beliefs, safety fears, good and evil as well as our natural talents or powers for transformation.
The most wonderful aspects of the conference were the mats where we lay in trance learning how to dream while awake, enter lucid dreams and slip out of body if not then, surely later on.
Here is one of my trance states. It’s very personal but I want to share it with you. We were told to visit someone who had died. With my whole body very heavy and mind very awake I met Walt my deceased husband. He walked toward me in an extremely white shirt and the meeting was so sweet. He was there and so was I, believe it or not. Then we were told to say goodby and enter into some beautiful setting that we loved. I was in a plane with a pilot who gave me a tour of gardens. We landed in the Connamara of Ireland, surely one of the loveliest spots on the planet. I walked pass the Abbey and into the gardens where the glorious herbs and flowers smelled and felt to the touch so very real. Then we were told we had to leave and return to our bodies. We did reluctantly.
We all came home with a Follow-Up six-week program for Dream and OBE work. The next conference will be in November.
In my new book, Niamh River, characters moving toward energy evolution meet at 95 and Broadway where they are taught by vibrating instructors some of the lessons I learned at 352 Seventh Avenue. For years now I’ve been receiving the stories and incorporating them into my life style. It’s why I moved to Harlem, why I’m a ‘wannabe’ Irish woman, and why I love the human mind so much. And why seeking compassion I found it during this conference. My stories are filled to the brim with Seth material and I now understand the process. I’m firmly convinced that we know much more than we realize, and that a third of our planet’s people are far ahead of the rest in making their own reality.
