“THE POWER OF HABIT – Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business”
By Charles Duhigg

From JZ Knight:
“This book should be required reading for everyone and to thoughtfully consider adopting Duhigg’s recommendations to ‘transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.’”

From the Publisher:
“In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.”

“At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work.

Habits aren’t destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives,” quoting the book’s publisher, Random House.

JZ Knight said, “This is an extremely important work.
I recommend Mlodinow’s landmark book to everyone.”

- From The Economist
“The unconscious mind”
“Hidden depths – “New thoughts on how the mind works”

“In his latest book, “Subliminal”, Leonard Mlodinow, a theoretical physicist who has been developing a nice sideline in popular science writing, shows how the idea of the unconscious has become respectable again over the past couple of decades. This development has been helped by rigorous experimental evidence of the effects of the subconscious and, especially, by real-time brain-scanning technology that allows researchers to examine what is going on in their subjects’ heads,’” quoting the April 28th edition of The Economist.

SuperConsciousness Magazine’s Publisher and Managing Editor Jair Robles wrote March 19, 2012:
“Almost five years ago the decision to create this publication was made, in part, due to the encouragement of JZ Knight. This week we would like to share with you the first of two interviews with this best-selling author, inspiring teacher, and visionary of our true human potential as she celebrates another year of her remarkable life.”

- How to Become a Master of Time
“One of the most remarkable things related by those who have gone through a near-death experience is all that happens to them during the lapse of only seconds or minutes that go by until they are brought back to life. They have a life review, meet with people who have already passed, and in some instances even get to see some aspects of their future, which completely challenges our concepts and experience of time. JZ Knight has gone through this process thousands of times as she channels Ramtha, a spiritual teacher and enlightened being, which has allowed her to gain a unique perspective about time and our relationship to this elusive and often little-understood concept.”

The Columbia Basin Farmer published the following report February 3, 2012:

“In December, the Washington Supreme Court issued a decision in the matter of JZ Knight v. City of Yelm, finding that Knight had the legal right to challenge Yelm’s approval of residential subdivisions without first obtaining adequate water supply. The Center for Environmental Law & Policy (CELP) filed a “friend of the court” brief supporting Knight by arguing that ownership of water rights in a watershed can serve as a basis for challenging land use decisions.”

‘Water is a key component of land use and if a city doesn’t have sufficient water rights to supply prospective hook-ups, then it has no business approving developments,’ said Rachael Paschal Osborn, staff attorney for CELP.”

“Concern over water rights continues in Yelm. The City of Yelm recently obtained approval of new water rights from the Washington Department of Ecology. A group of landowners in Yelm, the Thompson Creek Downstreamers, have appealed Ecology’s decision out of concern that additional pumping by Yelm will harm their own water rights and instream flows.

The Court’s decision in the JZ Knight case complements an August 2011 water and land use decision involving Kittitas County. In that case, the Court held that the Growth Management Act requires the county to protect the quality and quantity of groundwater supplies when making land use decisions.

‘Water scarcity is an increasing problem throughout Washington state,’ said Osborn. “Improved legal linkages between water availability and land use decisions will protect public values in our rivers and aquifers.’”

“The opinion of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington was filed on December 15, 2011, and became final on January 4, 2012. This cause is mandated to the superior court from which the appeal was taken for further proceedings…,” quoting Ronald R. Carpenter, Clerk of the Supreme Court, State of Washington.

What does this mean?
“This is a formality – issuance of the “Mandate” – which means that the appeal proceedings are over and the case is returned to the Superior Court (Thurston County Judge Chris Wickham). The effect of this is that the decision of the Superior Court will be reinstated (as if there had been no appeals).

The Superior Court decision required the City to change the language of the water availability condition of approval for these five plats and required that Knight receive special notice prior to final plat approval of any one of these five subdivisions [WINDSHADOW, LLC; WINDSHADOW II TOWNHOMES, LLC; PETRA ENGINEERING, LLC; SAMANTHA MEADOWS, LLC; TTPH3-8, LLC (Tahoma Terra)],” quoting Knight’s attorney Keith Moxon.

This is a final victory for Knight.

This anonymous phone message was left on a voicemail message for JZ Knight Friday, December 16, 2011.

“Hi, I’m a non-student, however in the Tacoma News Tribune today on page 3 there was a wonderful article and I think everybody should be dancing in the street to know that the water rights issue that JZ and everybody associated has fought; I know she spent a lot of money. She has a voice that speaks also for non students. I just was so happy to read that!

It’s a wonderful article and I’m very happy for everybody that was involved with this fight.

I’m an old-timer here. I’ve lived here 35 years and there have been many things that have happened in this town that have been shoved down the populace’s throats and now there’s a voice that represents a lot of us out here.

I’m really thankful that this came this way that the decision was made this way.

And I thank her and everybody whose mind was set and focused on this issue. It came out in a positive manner for all of us.

So, I recognize the good work that the people in school have done for this community.

The school seems to be our only voice here. Unfortunately Steve Klein never got to be mayor. This city would have just risen up instead of this group of jerks that we have representing the city of Yelm.

So, good on all of you and thank you and have a great and very Merry Christmas!

My husband and I are really pleased with the outcome of this!”

“The Supreme Court has ruled that mystic teacher and author JZ Knight has standing to oppose several proposals to subdivide property into single-family residential lots in Yelm. The hearing examiner granted preliminary subdivision approvals in five decisions. Knight later filed a Land Use Petition Act challenge, and the trial court ruled in her favor. On appeal, the Court of Appeals held that Knight could not show she would personally be harmed by land use decision, thus requiring dismissal of her LUPA petition. In a 7-2 decision by Justice Charles Wiggins, the Supreme Court held that Knight established that the land use decision is likely to prejudice her water rights and satisfies the statutory standing requirement.”
