When is more
less, and less more?
I attempt
here to give you ideas that might inspire and
encourage you to a greater state of awareness.
See what
feels right for you: always exercise discernment.
Questions
matter more than answers....
Let's start
with this: How to be a better person
- Surround yourself with the kind of people you
would like to
be.
- Read good books.
- Listen to good stuff. Fill your mind with the
pure, the
powerful, the positive and the prosperous.
- Set goals for every area of your life.
- Think in terms of your blessings instead of
your
limitations.
- Forget blame.
- Abandon judgment in all forms.
- Speak only in positive terms. This applies to
yourself,
other people, and all conditions.
- Be reliable, flexible, punctual, available,
and decisive.
- Be a good listener.

Larry Winget, Just Do
This Stuff And turn off the TV!
"The right brain processes information in
wholes, leading to emotional rather than intelligent responses. We
cannot rationally attend to the content presented on television because
that part of our brain is not in operation. It is therefore
unsurprising that people rarely comprehend what they see on television,
as was shown by a study conducted by researcher Jacob Jacoby. Jacoby
found that, out of 2,700 people tested, 90% misunderstood what they
watched on television only minutes before. As yet there is no
explanation as to why we switch to the right brain while viewing
television, but we do know this phenomenon is immune to content."
The answer to many of
life's problems: - ask
yourself, 'is this
working?'
If you believe 'I suck,'
or 'I
have bad luck,' or 'I
have shitty relationships,' then what's the problem?
You're programming yourself for failure, and your program is working
just fine.
- cultivate
detachment - what suffering does
not originate with attachment - to an idea, person, belief,
self-concept, or possession?
- breathe:
breath is life. Breathe in,
accept. Breathe out, release. Repeat.
- I
can't speak for you, but it appears,
consistently, that when I take myself too seriously, events conspire to
remind me that I've lost my way.
- be
aware: every day you create your reality.
Yes, there is a weird shit in this world - does that determine how you
have to feel? Become an actor, not a reactor.
- Educate
yourself. No one else will do
it for you.

It's
not the situation that's
causing your stress, it's your thoughts, and you can change that right
here and now. You can choose to be peaceful right here and now. Peace
is a choice, and it has nothing to do with what other people do or think.

A
few
notes on the world
in which we appear to live:
What would you do if you didn't 'know' you couldn't? What would you do
if you
suddenly took responsibility for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING happening around
you?
What if every flaw in the 'outside world' turned out to be simply the
Universe
presenting you with parts of yourself that needed healing?
Most of us function like drones in The
Matrix, ignorant
of our true nature and power. The secret to controlling how we create
our reality
lies in how we feel, not through what we believe or think. Who
controls how you feel right now?
Much of what we feel derives not from genuine
experience, but instead
from programming. We're told, subconsciously, how to feel. Does this
programming
just 'happen'? As you investigate, that conclusion seems less and less
likely.
If watching television has brought you enlightenment, please counsel
me. Otherwise,
consider it the greatest barrier to your spiritual growth and turn the
damned
thing OFF.
I try not to focus my consciousness on fighting, since I think that
anger and
fear feed the beast. But awareness means just that, and we need to
understand
our environment if we hope to understand why we might have chosen it,
and how
we can change it for the better.
Alongside
each horrible thing I discover, another wonderful thing lurks
- if
I have eyes to see it. Stuart Wilde accompanied my discovery of David
Icke, Gregg
Braden provides a tonic to NWO-worry ills. We do, as individuals, have
power.
We always have.
Breathe in, acccept. breathe out, release. repeat.
