	She sat at the farthest distance in the circle, stoic face; at one point a few silent tears rolled down her cheeks, then she slipped out before the lecture was over. Who was she? How to connect?

	A few weeks later she returned, bringing her sadness with her, wrapped tightly around her like a cloak. She was almost impenetrable. At first it was simply a nod hello, guarded energy saying “please don’t talk with me,” then slowly she began to open. First was an occasional smile, and after a while she stayed for tea after the lecture. Several more weeks passed and she asked a question. Now, after six months, Tatyana is smiling more often than not, and is becoming a regular who will soon begin Introduction to Science of Mind classes. It is like this for many people, not only in Ukraine but all throughout the world. People come because of the inner pull of their search for wholeness, the yearning to be free of pain or to experience love and acceptance, the need for connection, and ultimately the destiny to be reunited with themselves. We all want to feel safe and secure, to be valued and appreciated, to love and be loved, and to give our gift—to be and do what we came here to be and do. This is true for even the “toughest” of us—all around the world we want the same things. It’s 5:30 AM on a cold and snowy morning and Natasha is awakened by the internal call to practice. Lying still, she begins her morning with gratitude as she has done for several months now, ever since making the commitment to become a licensed Science of Mind practitioner. Natasha turns and looks at the man sleeping soundly beside her and she smiles, giving thanks for this miracle—her new husband, this new ability to really love and be loved. She thinks back to when she started her spiritual studies just three years ago—oh my, life was different. Defying the odds, here she is at fifty-four, recently married, thriving in her own multi-level marketing business and eager to share what she is learning about life, the nature of Spirit and the consciousness that allows her dreams to become reality.
