To all,

If you have read what I wrote in the new Books Section of the OT site, you’ll know that I ended up bringing out TWO hardcover Keepsake editions because my first design did not print properly using the less-expensive Standard Color (inkjet) technology. The printer (Ingram) had another (but more expensive) technology (Premium Color) that was supposed to be the solution. I followed all of their guidelines and procedures and was able to set up two different editions by the time the publication date arrived.

Everything has finally gotten through to the marketing channels and last night I received my own order for 3 copies of the Deluxe Keepsake edition. When I opened the box this morning, I discovered that the color and images were absolutely beautiful, but the edges of the pages were rippled, which they shouldn’t have been from using dry toner and heat to print the pages. I don’t know what caused this, and it shouldn’t have happened, but it has, so the best I can do is adapt and move on.

I have placed a complaint with the printer, but I don’t want to have other people experience disappointment with their order, so I am sending out this update to the newsletter I sent on Wednesday to let you know about this and tell you what you can do if you have already ordered the Deluxe Keepsake edition. I am taking it out of print so this problem won’t continue to occur, but that will take up to two weeks to go into effect and in the meantime all orders that are placed before then will be filled.

If you ordered the Deluxe Keepsake edition from Amazon anywhere and your order hasn’t shipped, you can probably cancel the order and order the (less expensive) Keepsake edition instead. (I am still waiting to receive mine and am hoping that those will print properly because they have lighter-colored page backgrounds, so will put less ink on the pages, but I really won’t know until I receive and can see these books.) If your order has already shipped, you can wait to receive the book and if you aren’t happy with it, you can return it to Amazon for a full refund, as long as you do so within 30 (see Amazon’s return policy for details).

The Hosts have said that the Creator loves surprises and that seems to be part of “how it is” (see the Message, “On Probabilities” for more detail on that issue):

“So, the Creator likes surprises. It always has something up Its sleeve, so to speak. And here we are, sailing along in a particular direction, expecting such and such to happen, and then Wham! Out of the blue. A surprise. It could not be anticipated, not even by us. Something or someone shows up that was wholly unplanned for, and it spins things into a totally unexpected direction.

However, for a surprise to really be a surprise, you cannot even see an inkling of it coming. Those are the ones the Creator REALLY likes!

Here we are, going along, doing our best to carry out our service, trying to anticipate what we will have to prepare for, and then Boom! Along comes a surprise and it’s back to the drawing boards. And if WE — given the level we operate at — can’t make solid plans and expect them to last, just imagine how unclear the picture is for those in your state of consciousness who claim to “know” the future!

That’s why you never find anyone “batting 1000.” No channel, no seer, no prophet of any shape or size, can know the future with any degree of certainty. And this is both a source of frustration and a great comfort at the same time.”

So, I am only going to be offering ONE hardcover edition, and that’s the best I can do at this point in time. If any of you have questions about this, send me an email to sara@PROTECTED. I have already updated the Books section to reflect this change and now only the passage of time will sort out the rest.

I truly apologize in advance if this upsets anyone, but there was no way I could see this coming and now that it has, I am adapting as best as I can and will move on.

On another front, everything I expected to happen in the US elections is happening. The amount of polarization, turmoil, and division is increasing and it’s still not clear what the actual outcome will be, nor do I feel it makes any difference in the long run. The Time of Tyranny is already unfolding and the power elite are still moving forward with their plans for world control and domination, but as the Hosts have said, our side of things is also moving forward with its plans, so remember to detach from the drama and trust in the plan for your life. Each of is unique and has our place in the larger whole. Everyone has a plan for their life and that’s what determines their destination and ultimate outcome.

Two other things regarding the books: Ingram is moving part of their operations in Australia to another location there and Standard Color books won’t be printed there from December 4 to around mid-January, so any orders that come in from sellers after November 26 won’t be filled until the second half of January. This won’t affect ebooks or the paperback edition; only the Keepsake edition that is printed in Australia will be affected by this.

I will be bringing out the Spanish translation books next, followed by German, Korean and French, in that order. I will send out announcements about each of those when they are available and any other news that I feel to report as things unfold.

In the meantime, I hope your journey is smoother than mine has been lately!

All the best,
Sara/Adonna/Oriole
