Welcome to issue 30. It's been another cold, wet, and windy couple of weeks, with winds gusting up to 53knots (about 60mph), at the Bodrum Bulletin Weather Station. Also, due to the roadworks associated with the new water pipeline all around the peninsula, it's been a muddy time too.

• Part 4 of Steve's finance article - showing you how to get the most out of your savings.
• Fortnightly Weather update,
• GBP-TL exchange rate update,

The Kos ferry and the customs office have now moved from the old Harbour Bodrum to the new ferry terminal area.

All resident permit applications and renewals need to be made at the new office.

The new ferry terminal (Yeni Liman), is located towards Içmeler, just beyond the Halikarnas nightclub. It's the area where the cruise liners arrive and leave from.

Ed: Thanks to reader Graham for this information.

There is a new fish market in Bodrum on Atatürk Caddesi, called "Su Balıkcılık" They sell fresh fish, all caught daily from local waters using their own private fishing boat. They also sell farmed local fish and seafood such as calamari, octopus etc...

The owner is an excellent (English speaking) fisherman and chef and is happy to advise on which fish to buy and also how to cook it! They will happily gut and clean the fish for you and will also deliver to the local area. Special orders are also welcome, just speak to them about your requirements.

What are your New Year’s resolutions? What would you like to have different in your life? Would it be better health, better sex life, or perhaps more money? How much effort do you anticipate it will take to create these changes? Is current manner of doing things working?
Would you like all those changes and more to really happen this year? What if all of this could truly happen and with ease, joy and glory. How about receiving more abundance in your life than you ever imagined possible?

Guess what! This CAN be your reality. One of the things that makes Access different than any other self-actualization method (or whatever else you would want to call it), besides the fact that it works faster, easier, deeper and with more fun than anything else, is that it comes from your BEING not from DOING.

Does that sound like it might be a bit less work? How about a LOT less work?

You are correct! Due to the phenomenal power of the Access clearing statements, issues that you haven't been able to resolve are cleared at their origin (point of creation, as we call it), no matter where that is. Yes, you will be cleared in all times, spaces, dimensions, and realities (including ALL of those pesky past lives, wherever they were) instantly and just by asking the universe. How DOES it get any better than that?

The result is that you HAVE changed and because you ARE now different, what you perceive, know, be, and receive in your life expands too. People react to you differently and you react to them differently, your health improves, your cash flow and creation are on a whole new level, all because YOU are now a more expanded you. How does it get any better than that?

And unlike most other seminars these changes are lasting. You won't be back to the same old you on Monday morning. Yes, because you created everything in your life including all of your messes, you can uncreate them all with Access in the blink of an eye. Now, you could re-create them if you choose but for what reason?

What is Access?

Access is the one technology that has the ability to produce broad sweeping changes in your life for the better and do it faster and cheaper than anything else I have ever found.

Access can facilitate you to shift anything in your life that is not working or is undesirable. For some, this might be just achieving more mental tranquility or freedom from the stress and worries of life. For others it might be more serious issues such as achieving better relationships with others at work or with a family member. For others still it could be an inability to learn or not achieving the financial success they believe that they deserve. Access can also address the more intangible aspects of human behaviour such as hearing voices in your head or absorbing the emotions of others around you. It only requires a willingness and the desire to actually change you.

Who is Access for?

Access is for anyone who desires to change anything about their life that's not working, who wants to be happier, who wants to have more fun in life, and who desires to take the "game of life" less seriously. It's for those who wish to create more affluence, prosperity, and abundance in their relationships, finances, health, etc. Access works on people of all ages, from newborns to senior citizens who believe that nothing can work at their age.

How does Access work?

In Access you take the energy of a trauma or issue and command it to return to the point of creation and uncreate it or erase the whole chain of energy, thus releasing you from the compulsion to keep recreating the same drama in your life. How it works precisely is like this. First let's take a painful event at some early point in time. Something happens that is an uncomfortable, overwhelming incident. Just after that exact place in time there is always a consideration or thought you adopted to make the trauma "yours" forever and hold it in place. We do this to make an unreasonable event or experience "right" so it computes in our logical mind. For example, you are in a car accident as a kid and right after that you vow never to ride in a car again because you decided that it was too "dangerous". Now, years later, every time you drive your car you get panic attacks and can't remember why. It's because you keep re-energizing the chain of energy that has to do with the trauma of riding in cars every time you so much as look at a car. With Access you merely start at the present-time point of the chain of energy and send it back to the point of creation and erase the entire chain and everything on it forever, even if it includes thousands of past moments in time where you were in anxiety about cars. This whole process by the way, in most cases takes only seconds to eradicate the whole chain of stuck emotional energy and release you from the issue.

Imagine doing this to every thought, belief, painful memory, phobia, etc. that you have and you quickly get the idea of how fast you can transform your life from dull, lacklustre mediocrity to that of magnificent abundance in all areas. At last you can be free from the endless cycle of pain, suffering, stress, and the traumas and dramas of life. It's sort of like you are a shiny gold statue plastered with layers and layers of gunk. Everyone sees the gunk as "you" and even you believe that all of that is "you" and that is just the way life is. Access assists you to strip away all of the gunk that constitutes the lies you bought over the years about how limited you must be and how misery and strife is your fate in life. This way, the brilliance of this gold statue that is the real you can shine forth.

How great could your life be?

As an infinite being you possess the capacity to perceive, know, be, and receive the greatest abundance that the universe can offer. So why is this not the case? Quite simply, because you are plastered with gunk that is all of your painful memories, beliefs, attitudes, fixed points of view, lies that you bought as truth, considerations, false purposes or false goals, negative subconscious control programs called implants, and all of the outward manifestation of such, i.e. your lack of money, failed relationships, unachieved goals, poor health, etc. If you could imagine life without any of these constraints then could you visualize that your life would indeed be a vast paradise instead of a barren desert.  The tools and processes of Access are the key to achieving heaven on Earth.
