Mastermind
Dreammakers
By
Debbie
Ellison
My
possession
of
this
book
came
about
through
the
very
principles
it
teaches
-
I
manifested
it!
Or
as
the
author
would
say,
I
“IN-VISIONED”
it.
When
Kathryn,
the
editor
of
Aquarius,
asked
me
to
review
a
book
she
had
just
received,
I
was
in
the
midst
of
researching
and
trying
to
create
a
Master
Mind
group.
I
had
just
started
meeting
weekly
with
a
friend
to
work
on
envisioning
and
manifesting
what
we
wanted
in
our
lives.
So
it
didn't
totally
surprise
me
when
I
went
to
the
Aquarius
mailbox
one
morning,
wherein
lay
the
book
I
was
to
review.
I
opened
the
mailbox,
pulled
out
a
large
envelope
with
my
name
on
it,
sat
in
my
car,
and
pulled
out
the
book.
Until
that
moment,
I
had
no
idea
what
it
was
about;
Kathryn
had
told
me
only
that
it
was
a
children's
book/workbook
she
wanted
me
to
review.
As
I
pulled
the
book
slowly
out
of
the
envelope,
the
large,
bright
letters
of
the
title
gradually
and
mystically
began
to
appear
-
MasterMind
DreamMakers.
I
almost
jumped
with
excitement,
but
I
was
too
in
awe
to
move.
I
e-mailed
my
partner-in-manifesting;
I'll
never
forget
her
simple
response
-
“Chills!”
As I read this book by Mimi Greek and Suzanne Smith Tillman, the principles I had been working on became clear. This is a book and workbook geared to children, but wonderful for adults also. The back cover recommends the book for “kids ages 5 - 13 and adults ages 14 - 150.” The workbook is a sequence of short stories, poems, games, activities, and visualizations, to be completed alone or with a group, a Dream Team.
The
authors
suggest
meeting
twice
a
week
to
help
Dream
Team
members
be
“IN-POWER”
and
to
“IN-VISION”
their
dreams.
The
MasterMind
Dream
Team
pledge
affirms:
“I
give
to
you!
I
give
to
me!
We
support
each
other
to
be
happy
and
free.
I
commit
to
love
and
bright
ideas.
I
commit
to
going
beyond
my
fears!
I
honor
you.
I
honor
me.
We
allow
each
other
to
be
happy
and
free!”
This
delightful
book
is
one
of
three
finalists
for
the
prestigious
Benjamin
Franklin
2002
book
awards.
Its
animated
illustrations
and
fun,
inspiring
text
present
the
ideas
of
positive
thinking,
manifesting,
and
believing
in
oneself
in
a
simple,
entertaining
way.
It
discusses
“MasterMind...
the
part
of
our
mind
that
tunes
in
to
bright
ideas
and
loving
thoughts;
being
master
of
your
mind”
versus
“MonsterMind...
the
part
of
our
mind
that
tunes
in
to
thoughts
of
blame,
anger,
fear
and
doubt,”
stressing
that
to
stay
positive
and
manifest
what
you
want,
the
MasterMind
should
always
prevail.
