The Word for Today is Acceleration.

It's like breathing in and out, speeding up and slowing down. Life is like this.

The key is to gain control over this.

Sunday, August 30, 2009

Words for the Day: Sunday, August 30, 2009

There are two Words for Today: Patience and Tolerance.

It is amazing how well these words go together. For example, a patient person generally is more accepting and tolerant of people different from him or her.

Another way these words go together is through their opposite. For example, in the Michael Teachings, the negative pole of the Chief Feature of Impatience is Intolerance.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 30 - September 5, 2009

The Theme for this Week is Health.

Remember that there are more than one types of health. Besides bodily health, there are emotional health and mental health.

The Word for Today is Kindness.

It doesn't take much kindness to warm up a frigid room. Likewise, I firmly believe that true kindness can thaw out relationships between people and nations, eventually ending wars forever.

Inside this word is Courage. It's like you're helping another person by adding your courage to theirs.

The Word for Today is Thoughtfulness.

Breaking this word up, we get Full of Thought. One part is to think before you act or speak. The other is to think of the others around you and be thoughtful: For example, open that door for another, regardless of gender. Give help when it is needed.

The world can be a better place.

Monday, August 24, 2009

Word for the Day: Monday, August 24, 2009

The Word for Today is Comfort.

What I find amazing is how strenuously some people will ruin their lives, as well as lives of others around them, in search for personal comfort.

True Comfort comes from within.

Also, there is a triple King aspect today, with a triple Server aspect tomorrow.

Fasten your seat belts, folks, and enjoy the ride.

Friday, August 21, 2009

The Word for Today is Liberation.

This word is often used in different ways, often politically. In its negative pole, governments often call a violent takeover of a country "liberation". However, in its positive pole comes the statement, "The Truth will set you free".

Liberate yourself.

The Word for Today is Impartiality.

A neutral, Scholarly attribute, this is what news agencies try for, yet regularly fail at.

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

The Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 18, 2009

The Word for Today is Consequence.

This is the law of Karma. What comes around goes around. What you sow, you reap.

Monday, August 17, 2009

Word for the Day: Monday, August 17, 2009

The Word for Today is Elimination.

If I combine this with our weekly theme, I get Complete Elimination. That sounds ominous!

Sunday, August 16, 2009

How do you know when an issue is complete? If you are still working on it, it's probably not!

Remember that the process is as important as the outcome.

Saturday, August 15, 2009

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 15, 2009

The Word for Today is Expansion.

Once again, I believe that the Michael Teachings are looking more at Spiritual Expansion than expansion of the weight of the human body.

Expand wisely.

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 12, 2009

The Word for Today is Equality.

Tying this to our theme, do we get equal vision or vision of equals? My take on Equality is equal opportunity.

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 11, 2009

The Word for Today is Prudence.

If we combine this with this week's theme, Vision, we look Prudently at the world, not jumping to conclusions about every little thing we see. In other words, not throwing Judgment at everything around us. (In the bible: "Judge not lest you be judged". -- Matthew 7:1-6 [Continue reading for some explanations]).

I put a joke in my Facebook post: "Is it Prudent to be a Prude?"

Monday, August 10, 2009

Word for the Day: Monday, August 10, 2009

The Word for Today is Innocence.

To blend this with the theme, innocent vision, or a purity of vision like a child would see something.

Note that this is the home position for my Energy/Beauty aspect.

Sunday, August 9, 2009

The Word for Today is Authenticity.

Authentic, as opposed to counterfeit? What would it mean to be a counterfeit person?

One interpretation of Authentic that I have is able to simply relax and be myself. In other words, no requirement to live a lie.

Friday, August 7, 2009

Word for the Day: Friday, August 7, 2009

Note that the role combination for this word is Sage and Priest.

Thursday, August 6, 2009

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 6, 2009

The Word for Today is Socialization.

What does it mean to be Social? We blend together? There is a recent word that came from Michael Educational Foundation (mef.to): Embracement. This is being put out as a new word to account for the positive pole of the Goal of Acceptance.

I like this.

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 5, 2009

The Word for Today is Concentration.

Concentration implies focus. And a little focus goes a long way towards accomplishing what you need to. And, as I remind people on Facebook, there was a game show on TV.

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 4, 2009

The Word for Today is Acceptability.

Let's turn this word around: Acceptability? Ability to Accept?

Need I say more?

Monday, August 3, 2009

The Word for the Day: Monday, August 3, 2009

The Word for Today is Generosity.

This is something else that this world needs badly. What do we see in the news? Republicans fighting tooth and nail over how we will NOT fund healthcare? (Like how bad a tax on cosmetic surgery would be, for example).

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 2, 2009

The Word for Today is Sharing.

Like I stated on Facebook (where I now also share the Daily Word), the world can certainly use more of this.

My feeling is that the act of Sharing is a gift from Heaven. What you often find in some of the less evolved realms is, "No. You can't have this. You didn't pay me enough!"

The topic in the news that reminds me of this is Healthcare.

Weekly Theme: Week of 8/02 to 8/08/2009

The Theme for this Week is Union.

The feelings I get from the word Union is joining and connections. Like networking with other people. (This is the opposite of Separation and Loneliness).

My friends say I should be out there with people more. I think they may be right.

Saturday, August 1, 2009

Words for the Day: Saturday, August 1, 2009

The idea here is to step back and take in the big picture. This is what is known as King casting.
