The experience of this historic EFT Tapping World Summit has been life-changing for so many people…whether they’re just been introduced to EFT Tapping or are seasoned “veteran tappers.”

Check out just a few of the hundreds of amazing stories being shared by some of the participants so far:
“I would like to share with you something very exciting. The day you [Margaret Lynch] were online, with the theme “debts” at the EFT World Summit I tapped along for hours, because my husband and I have really lots of debt. And yesterday we looked on our bank account and we couldn't believe our eyes…we were out of the red figures and we had money on our account, how could this be? We got payments we didn't even expect and I thought straight away: "That was because of the tapping with you, it must have unblocked the barrier and the flow is coming now. We repaid a big amount of our debts and the mountain has become so much smaller. I just had to share this with you, I'm so excited! Thank you so much to give your tools out so generously! Bless you!” ~Klara from Bavaria/Germany
“Just wanted to send a quick note to say THANK YOU!!! This has been an extraordinary event...time definitely well spent! I've only recently heard about EFT and have been curious to find out about it....guess the universe knew it too...and brought this right to me! :-) Thank you for all your hard work and efforts in getting this valuable information out to all. Keep up the great work!! God Bless!” ~Sunita Maru Kirpal, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“I have gotten SO much out of these talks...and the session I have done with myself have been profound...getting into the deepest layers of trapped emotions that I have ever gotten to on my own. What a remarkable journey!!!! Thank you so much for your hard work, dedication and for the marriage of Abraham principles and EFT. What a brilliant pair. Thank you...and thank you to all the presenters who are doing this brilliant work.” ~ Laurie Attridge - Cazenovia, NY
“I wanted to be one of the 40,000+ people whom I hope will contact you to tell you what a fabulous job you have done in putting this amazing event together! I am so grateful to be able to hear these amazing leaders in the EFT and related fields, thank you so much...Jessica is fabulous as the Hostess and her questions are insightful and divinely inspired, as to cover the most important areas of expertise of each of your guest speakers and it is wonderful to listen to these nightly sessions.” ~Robin, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“What an amazing program you have put together for this symposium. The information presented is so varied and brilliant. I'm almost on overwhelm. The speakers are exceptional. They have so much to offer. I'm learning a lot... and we're only half way through!” ~Anita Arsenault, Golden, BC Canada
“Thank you so much! I've just listened to the first evening's sessions and already I've had a major breakthrough in understanding about a big problem in my life. As I've been tapping, the root of the problem finally became clear. Carol Look's presentation has helped more than any other EFT instruction I've bought and listened to in the past. Perhaps because of my intention to finally understand and use this powerful energy work and because of her clear explanation of how to word things. Thank you! I will continue listening and tapping. I'm so glad I bought the platinum VIP pass because I want to be able to review this wonderful information and share it with my family. ~Catherine Clark - Clearwater Bay, Hong Kong

There are literally dozens of people every day sharing their personal experiences of the EFT Tapping World Summit…it’s amazing and heart-warming to see how the world has embraced the tapping experience…if you'd like to read more amazing stories...the organizers have created a page where dozens of people have shared their stories and comments:

Do we Really HAVE to Explain…

noreply@blogger.com (Gregory Miller) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:15:00 +0000

Bill Gates

Bill Gates can be reached on LinkedIn.com™, If you know his e-mail address; he might network with you. (Really!)

Bill Gates recently stepped away from Microsoft™ Day-to-Day Operations.

This has not lessened my day-to-day frustration with Microsoft Windows™

This Site is Dedicated In Continual Futile Frustration to Microsoft™ Founder Mr. William H. Gates, III

Helpful Hint

How to open your Microsoft™ packaging

Microsoft Windows Vista™ hasn't been well received by many people, regarded as cumbersome and memory intensive, incompatible with too many other products, and just not what it was promised to be. Positive remarks talk about how nice it looks. The package that Microsoft™ has chosen for its new software is very similar to their latest operating system offering--great to look at, and impossible to figure out how to open. I was contemplating smashing it with a hammer, when the alternative of searching on Google™ for a method to open it was suggested. There is something inherently WRONG about a package that requires a Google search to find out HOW to open it.

So, for everyone out there contemplating the purchase of Office 2007, Vista, or whatever the next offering from Microsoft™ may be hidden inside of this bizarre package, here is a link with the photos to illustrate how to open the package. Maybe Microsoft™ will offer a down-loadable video presentation illustrating package opening for us in the near future. Of course, if we have Bill Gates on national television to show how to open the package, he won't be able to get it open either.

Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ucsfpharmacy/sets/72157600095134188/

The classic clip showing Windows™ 98 crashing: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1039/bill_gates_win_98_crash_on_live_tv/

The Windows Vista™ crash on German TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFx62_Iadjg&feature=related

But, Bill Gates obviously has a sense of humor (besides the humor found in operating system after operating system)
