I am in the process of rearranging my brain. Yes it's like a house cleaning session, removing what doesn't work and enhancing what does. It takes time and energy to do these sorts of things, but it comes out better in the end.
Coming soon, applications to be able to always know what the Word is. Perhaps something like an App for iPhone and Android, coupled with a Wiki of information about these Global Jobs / Weekly Themes, and Community Responsibilities / Words for the Day. I'll probably need some help on that. Anyone following this, who knows how to set up a Wiki can contact me through email. I appreciate all of the help I get!
Thank you and best regards,

My current physical situation.
Hello,
My current situation is a long story. Much of it has been told on my Facebook Account: sea7kenp.
Note: If you apply to be a Facebook "Friend", please identify yourself as a follower of this, or one of my other blogs, via sending a short, personal message with your "Friend Request", for a faster "vetting" process, up to same day service. (I may look for actual evidence, however, like the "Follower Lists" for my list of blogs). Why do I need to do this? All the Robots, SPAM and otherwise, that regularly try to "pretend" they are human (like Corporations regularly do. Hint hint, Republicans...)
One example of another blog is http://greenlibertarianparty.blogspot.com The Green Libertarian Party, an actual United States Political Party that I could use to run for office, national or otherwise. My motto: "Neutrality -- With Attitude".
While my right arm is messed up, please consider this blog suspended, as far as new activity is concerned. I promise to return to this, as well as my other blogs, as soon as both of my arms both work for typing.
Thank you and best regards,
Kenneth Wayne Parker, Seattle, Washington
P.S. The Theme for this Week is Mediation, my "home" Global Job on the "Michael DNA Entity Chart". The Word for Today (end of Wednesday) is Absorption (the Community Responsibility for my Artisan Essence Twin). Today (Thursday's) Word is Study. Friday's Word will be Reflection (think Mirror), and then we get to Saturday, position 567 [Love] of the Michael DNA Chart, my home Community Responsibility on Ring 17, Cadre 1, Entity 3. There will be two Words that day, Overview and Perspective, two huge reasons I dislike having to be stuck in "endless details". (Think "Executive Summary"). Perhaps I'll be able to add an entry next week. (If I get bored enough. LOL!)

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.
Cooperative Endurance? I like that, as having to endure something by yourself can be quite unpleasant.
Incidentally, I've said this before, but I suggest Yoga as part of Endurance Training.

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.
To tie this to Cooperation (our Theme), marriage sounds a lot like "cooperative fertility". And collaborating on, say, a book, sounds a lot like Cooperative Fertile Ideas.
I like our theme this week!

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 27, 2011
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.
What better foundation, than Stability, to be able to cooperate with others?
My personal philosophy is, "Ken Parker is Calm, Relaxed and Neutral". That is, of course, easier in a stable environment. But I find an inner stability, such that I was able to function effectively in a dream two nights ago, where I was one of many "angels", helping a planet, who's sun was about to go Supernova. (Most of the planet was already evacuated, but these were the last, the strongest, and basically calm and stoic about having to deal with death. It was actually quite a pleasant assignment! And the Nova itself was spectacular! To bad I couldn't bring back any pictures, but it was only my consciousness that survived, and I awoke in my bed, here in Seattle).

Weekly Theme: Week of 2/27 to 3/05/2011
The Theme for this Week is Cooperation.
I like this theme better than last week's (Circulation), as it's easier to be concrete about Cooperation. I wish to contrast it with Competition, a Young Soul concept, currently popular with the United States Republican party.
Let's see how this concept plays out with the Words for each day.

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.
Some of these words appear tie in better to the theme (in this case, Circulation) than others do. What? Aspire to effectively circulate?
What I do suggest is to aspire to be the best you can be.

Thursday, February 24, 2011
Word for the Day: Thursday, February 24, 2011
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.
So how does Contrast interface with Circulation (our theme)? Well, with blood circulation, high blood pressure sounds like high contrast (and unhealthy). Low blood pressure sounds like low contrast (and can also be unhealthy). The best is a happy medium, otherwise known as being in balance.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 23, 2011
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.
How does this word tie to Circulation (our theme)? Let's see. Certainly, allowing blood circulation to occur in a healthy manner can help one be flexible, as I've heard of correspondences between hardening of the arteries and hardening of the opinions.

Weekly Theme: Week of February 20-26, 2011
The Theme for this Week is Circulation.
So what, exactly does Circulation mean? Well, blood circulates. Books at libraries circulate. My feeling is that this is about not sitting on ideas, but letting them circulate also.

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.
It is always good to acknowledge those who help you in your life. In fact, I find it appropriate to celebrate, and invite the main people you are acknowledging (or at least those you still are in contact with) to that celebration.

I'm feeling encouraged enough to maybe do a bit of celebrating today. Last night, I caught the Republicans going a bit too far in their Budget Cuts, in a rather hilarious way.

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 15, 2011
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.
There is a concept in the Michael Teachings called a Support Circle. There are 12 parts to it (13, counting yourself). This is part of a concept called Interdependence, where we all need each other.
Finding your own Support Circle would be grounds for a celebration.

When you stand in front of a mirror, are you comfortable with what you see? If so, that is worth a celebration.
Also, happy Valentines Day.

Sunday, February 13, 2011
Word for the Day: Sunday, February 13, 2011
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.
This word goes together frequently with celebration (the theme), as they often include food. Now, whether the food is nourishing is another thing entirely.

Weekly Theme: Week of February 13-19, 2011
The Theme for this Week is Celebration.
People generally celebrate when things appear to go their way. What we don't know at times, however, is that things are not always what they seem to be. For example, sometimes the best opportunities can look more like challenges at first, and extreme challenges can appear great at first.
Be careful, but also have fun.

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.
To tie this to Revelation (the theme) is as simple as describing a prosperity of truths and ideas to be revealed.

Thursday, February 10, 2011
Word for the Day: Thursday, February 10, 2011
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.
This ties to our theme quite well, as there is nothing better to reveal than wisdom. Also, paying attention to honest revelation can help you be wiser.

Wednesday, February 9, 2011
Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 9, 2011
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.
I see at least two relationships between this word and Revelation (the theme). One is, of course, "impartial revelation". I am not even sure what that would sound like. The other is "impartial living", which could provide the ability to be a clear channel for pure revelation.
I'm still looking for impartial news. It is hard to find these days.

Tuesday, February 8, 2011
Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 8, 2011
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.
As far as our theme goes, revelation itself can have consequences, if you reveal what people do not want to know.
Be careful what you say or do. It is all meaningful.

Word for the Day: Monday, February 7, 2011
The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.
What this does NOT mean, in my opinion, is eliminating revelation itself. Instead, it would be better to eliminate what stands in the way of revelation.

Sunday, February 6, 2011
Word for the Day: Sunday, February 6, 2011
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.
To tie this to our theme, I guess being self-reliant makes you better able to reveal what you know.

Weekly Theme: Week of February 6-12, 2011
The Theme for this Week is Revelation.
The funny thing is that this word has a simple meaning: the act of revealing or disclosing. For some reason, it's picked up a connotation of disclosing heavenly secrets.
My take is that this is a week where you may have an urge to reveal something to others.

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 5, 2011
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.
As far as philosophies go, spiritual expansion has a lot of advantages. However, eating too much, expanding your body in the process, is something to watch out for.

Words for the Day: Friday, February 4, 2011
The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.
As far as Philosophy goes (the theme), it is good to have faith in your personal philosophy, especially if it was developed from personal life experience, and as long as the faith isn't blind. Well placed trust in those around you (where the trust is in degrees, modified by behavior) has a place in this life experience. And remember that this trust must be earned, never demanded.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 2, 2011
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.
There are two philosophical takes on equality. The one I like is equal opportunity for all. One I'm not so sure of is an outer appearance of equality, via forced conformity. The worst of this is noted in the book, 1984, by George Orwell, with thought crimes, if your thoughts aren't "equal" to the accepted thought patterns.
You can have diversity with equal opportunity.

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.
A general philosophy of forgiveness is a great thing to have (and then, still handle individual situations by their merit).
Often, the most important person to forgive is yourself, by the way.

Weekly Theme: Week of 1/30 to 2/05/2011
The Theme for this Week is Philosophy.
My favorite take on this topic is from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series: A search for information on Life, the Universe and Everything.
In my opinion, it takes life experience to gain a well-rounded philosophy. Book reading, by itself is not enough.

Word for the Day: Saturday, January 29, 2011
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.
This fits in with Education and Teaching (themes) by its lack: It doesn't work well to be "taught" by a counterfeit teacher. A class doesn't go well with students who aren't out to seriously learn.
The bottom line is that it's best to be authentic to yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, January 28, 2011
The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.
Language studies are, of course, a big part of Education and Teaching (our Themes). Those who know more than one language have a lot of jobs open to them that are not present for those who only know one language.
There are, of course, other aspects to Interpretation. For example, how do you interpret your moods?

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.
This ties in well with Education and Teaching (themes), as schools are very social places. Also, people learn how to socialize in school, either formally (from teachers) or informally (other students).

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.
The tie-in to our themes (Education and Teaching) are actually a bit controversial, as people don't agree on what is acceptable and what is not in today's schools. Where a person stands on this topic often is related to his/her political views.
The most important thing is to be acceptable to yourself.

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.
There are multiple connections between this Word and the Themes (see prior post). For example, a good part of classroom education is having students sharing their own insights on the topics in the class. Sharing comes across as more voluntary than being called upon.

Weekly Themes: Week of January 23-29, 2011
The Themes for this Week are Education and Teaching.
There is a relationship between these two themes, but they are not the same. Training is very focused and specific (such as how to make lattes in a coffee house), yet teaching is more general, such as learning a major in college. Education is a cumulative thing, over time.

The Theme for this Week is Retention.
This theme has good aspects and less good aspects. For example, it is good to retain what you read or learn. But even some aspects, such as retaining water in the body, can be a good thing, when compared with the opposite, which would be to be chronically dehydrated.

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.
This ties both ways to Preservation (the Theme): "Preserve our Resolve", as well as "Resolve to Preserve".
It is interesting that this Word came within 15 days of the New Year, when people make (sometimes only to break) Resolutions.

Word for the Day: Friday, January 14, 2011
The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.
This is a loaded word, using a word that the right wing does. To tie this into current events (Tuscon, AZ), it takes courage to be yourself, especially when there are those who might not even want you to be alive.
Hint: The world will be quite boring if everybody thinks alike.

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.
I guess a good question for me to ask myself: "Am I a competent enough Scholar to retain what I learn?"
A good step for anyone, by the way, is to be competent to be yourself.

The Theme for this Week is Preservation.
This marks the Scholar Month and Warrior Week. And Scholars love to preserve, especially for history.

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.
Tying this to Analysis (the theme) is not as clear today, unless I say, "I aspire to be the best analyst I can". On second thought, that sounds good to me.

Word for the Day: Thursday, January 6, 2011
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.
Good analysts recognize the need for contrast in their lives. However, how much? Too much is scary, yet too little can get a bit boring. It's sort of like a sine wave going down a stream.

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.
Even analysis (theme) can require agility and grace at times, especially if a change in location is desired, to assist in an analysis.
To develop these traits, I recommend Yoga.

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.
How does Analysis (theme) fit with Acceleration? Practically, analyzing your speed (for example, watching that speedometer) can help prevent speeding tickets. On the other side, there is an acceleration in information, including analysis of that information, available on the Internet.

Words for the Day: Sunday, January 2, 2011
The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.
The best Analysts, in my opinion, are both patient, and tolerate what they are analyzing. And this is often found by its opposite: If forced to figure out something unpleasant, a person often is impatient to get on to something else.
In general, a little patience goes a long ways.

Weekly Theme: Week of January 2-8, 2011
The Theme for this Week is Analysis.
The two Michael Roles for this Theme are Scholar (month) and Artisan (week). To analyze is to study, in a way, but usually via direct examination, rather than book study (though you can certainly look up what you are analyzing).
Incidentally, I have a lot of fun analyzing my life, and analyzing reality itself. Try it some time.
