Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 31, 2017

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality. Do we make Impartial Choices in our lives? Now, *REALLY*??? We wear our Biases (often literally "wearing them" say, in our clothing) in all of our Choices. So how can we get closer to impartiality? How about honestly exploring situations, locations, and philosophies that take you your "Comfort Zone". For example, when we went to War against Iraq in 2003, I was confused, about Islam. For example, I did not know of the issues, behind the split between the Sunni and Shia versions. So, I purchased a book, "Islam for Dummies", and learned a lot. But I still think that the main idea of a Religion is, to Love God and Love your Neighbor.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 30, 2017

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence. And it is *quite* true that you create Consequences, when you make Choices. But there is a "special kind" of Choice, well known, but often misunderstood: It is the Choice, to "Skip making a Choice". First off, things don't actually *work* that way! (For one, you are the *only* person, who can live your life). But, even in an "illusory" Universe, where something like that were "possible", the Consequence is likely to be Severe, since it "kind of" appears that you, at least temporarily, would be "choosing" not to fully live!

Word for the Day: Monday, May 29, 2917

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination. So are we talking about the "Elimination of Choice"? I Sure *Hope* Not! But Choosing to Eliminate things in your life that you, either have outgrown? Perhaps. Also, it's possible that we're talking about Eliminating things, that interfere with making informed choices. Good luck!

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 28, 2017

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance. So are you using Self-Reliance to make better Choices? Or are you Choosing to be Self-Reliant today? Hopefully, a bit of both! But please note the complexity of the second question: It is also good, to choose to include others in your life. For example, it is always good to have a Support Group. (As well, it is also good to be part of the Support Group of other people). Happy Choosing!

Weekly Theme: Week of 5/28 - 6/03/2017

The Theme for this Week is Choice.  What does this mean?  According to Google Define, Choice means "an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities".  And, when I add principles from Quantum Physics to this, I often tell people, that "When you make choices, you Create Worlds!"  Why?  Becomes, somewhere "upstairs" from "mainline, Waking Consciousness", "someone" (usually, more than one "part" of you) wants to know what occurred, with the "other Choice".  One example, which I believe is easy to understand:  Imagine you are working for a firm, located in multiple states (or even countries).  In our example, you are working for the Office in New York.  Also, you are "happily married" (however you might define that).  So, one day, you are called, into a Management Office, and told you have an "opportunity" for, both a Promotion and a significant Raise.  The catch?  It would require you to, indefinitely relocate to the "Corporate Office" in Chicago, Illinois.  You are told to "think this over", but "don't take too long, as we must make a final decision, 'soon'".  You go home, quite excited (as you have been hoping for a promotion, for a "long time"), and tell your Spouse.  His/her response is *QUITE* surprising!  It goes like this:  "What?  Chicago???  I absolutely Loathe Chicago!!!"  And then, after an awkward silence, he/she says, in a dangerous, almost sulking manner, "If you want to go to Chicago, go ahead.  But count me out!"  So, the parameters, for a an obviously, emotionally charged decision is set.  In one, you take the promotion, perhaps hoping you can make Chicago temporary, and/or gradually warm your spouse, on the virtues of the "Windy City".  In the other, you turn down the promotion, possibly preventing future promotions (because you aren't a "team player"), and perhaps not even making your spouse happy in the long run (because your Salary isn't going up).  And so, one Choice is considered "Primary", and the other might show up in your Dreams.  Good luck, folks!

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 27, 2917

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion. One type of Transition, is a change in size. For example, your Chest expands and contracts, as you breathe in and out. But that is not the only thing you can expand: You can also expand your Intellect, as you learn more and more, through your lifetime. But be careful about expansion around your "Middle", if you eat excessive amounts of delicious food!

Word for the Day: Friday, May 26, 2017

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith. Do you Trust your Transitions? Do you have faith in your Transformations? Many people have issues in this area, as change, of any kind can be scary at times. But, since change occurs, whether you like it or not, why not play a part in your Life Transitions. Take charge, folks!

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 25, 2017

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude. I obviously have Gratitude for, at least *most* of my Transformations. (And some, that didn't "seem" harmonious, when they occurred, turned out to be important to my life, later. So I can now say I have Gratitude for a Job Burnout, that occurred in 1997, due to how much I learned about, both myself, and Reality itself!) So feel free to treat Today, as if it were Thanksgiving.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 24, 2017

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality. Are some projects "more Equal than others"? That would beg the question: What *does* Equality mean, anyway? There are two major "contexts" for this Word, shown by "word usage": "Equal Opportunity", or "forced Equality" (by, say, conformity). The second can be found in some Private Schools, where there are "School Uniforms", such that all students look, "sort of" alike! And office Dress Codes can come close to this, when all male employees are "required" to wear suits and ties to work. But the usage I prefer can be seen in the following phrase, "Equal Opportunity for All!"

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 23, 2017

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence. Are personal Transformations Prudent? It depends on the details of the Transformation involved, of course! What were you like, before the change, verses afterwards. There are a number of categories involved, of course, such as how you treat other people, how you treat plants and animals around you, and how you treat Mother Earth herself! Change is inevitable, of course, but it's up to you, what that change looks like.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 22, 2017

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence. Sorry to do this (very rarely), but I am posting this, when an "alleged Suicide Bomber" detonated an explosive, outside a concert in Manchester, England. (And yes, I'm reporting on the Parallel [or Probability] that I'm in so, if anybody has evidence, to show me they are in a different Reality where this didn't occur, reach out to me in some way). But, in a rather unfortunate way, this keys in with our Theme, because, in an instant, a Music Concert was transformed into a Crime Scene, as well as a "Royal Mess"! At least 19 people (many innocent, but at one [or, possibly more] not) Transitioned, from living human beings, with relationships and careers, to an Afterlife where, the first thing needed is to figure out what just occurred, and why they're not relating well to Physical Reality! More were injured, many of whom will never feel safe in a concert again! In my opinion, if a living being hurts, a part of God (whatever your definition) hurts too!

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 21, 2017

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness. Hopefully, you won't feel the need to ask forgiveness for your personal Transformations. And a way to minimize that, is to strive for positive transformations (as opposed to, for example, "transforming" from a law abiding citizen into a criminal. That usually backfires). But no matter what, keep in mind that Change is always occurring!

Weekly Themes: Week of May 21-27, 2017

The Themes for this Week are Transition and Transformation.  Both of these include change, but possibly in different ways.  For example, Transition denotes change around you (like the transition from autumn to winter), yet Transformation is a "personal change".  And, in the second case, it's not only humans --  a caterpillar transforms into, either a butterfly or a moth.  In either case, this should be, quite an interesting week!

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 20, 2017

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity. Are you an Authentic person? (If you ever bought a plate from franklinmint.com, it would come with a Certificate of Authenticity). Now, with our Theme, I could ask if your "Project" came with such a Certificate. But, even more important: When you were born, did your parents get such a certificate? Why not?

Word for the Day: Friday, May 19, 2017

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation. Others, who experience your "project of the week" will need to Interpret it, so it makes sense to them. You, yourself had to do some Interpretation, so as to understand it, enough to work on it. And, of course, this matters, whether the project was "Precipitated" into your lap (i.e. assigned to you), or Initiated by you, yourself.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 18, 2017

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization. Does Socialization help, in the completion of projects? Yes and no: It can, if you "bounce ideas off each other", while you are in contact (whether in person, or on a Social Network, such as Facebook). But, on the other hand, the socializing can become a distraction, especially if the topics discussed, are irrelevant to the project at hand. Balance is the important keyword here. In other words, "be Social", but don't go overboard.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 17. 2017

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration. And most certainly, a project, whether assigned or self-initiated, requires a certain amount of concentration, at different times, to get to a proper conclusion. For example, a well known (and used) study aid is to focus your attention on the subject at hand, for a finite amount of time, without distractions.This is a good use of Concentration.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 16, 2017

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability. So what makes a project Acceptable? Lawful? Ethical? Helpful to others? Educational? Those are some terms that, at least partly come to mind. What might be "easier", would be to describe "attributes", that might make a project Unacceptable: Criminal? Unethical? I have two examples, from the news, of unacceptable projects: Ponzi Scheme, and Computer Virus. Just keep this in mind, and be Acceptable.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 15, 2017

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. It's always [at least usually] good to be Generous. But, in the context of our Themes, you have a Project, one way or another. Generosity, in this context, can even work in your favor. For example, if you are generous, about what you are offering, someone who you describe the project to, might know something that helps you to complete it. So, in this case, Generosity can work in both directions. Good luck!

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 14, 2017

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing. And what better thing to share, but a project you are working on, either dropped in your lap, like water out of the sky, or initiated by you, yourself? In my opinion, sharing is good, as long as it's not a communicable disease. That, you can keep to yourself!  :-)
