The Word for Today is Forgiveness.
People often think that to forgive means to forget. The problem is that the harder a person tries to forget, the harder it is.
An alternative definition of Forgive is to Give Forth, as in to Give Forth Love. It was Jesus that suggested that we Love our Enemies. [Luke 6:27] Think of how fast our wars could end if even a percentage of people (including those in Government) started doing that?

Weekly Theme for week of August 31 to September 6, 2008
The theme for the week of 8/31 through 9/06/2008 is Vision.
Every so often, it is a good idea to step back and take a big-picture view of your life. With this vision, you can better plan for the future.
People talk about 20/20 hindsight. How about developing 20/20 foresight?

Word for the Day for Friday, August 29, 2008 -- Correction
The word for today is Interpretation.
(Sorry for sending tomorrow's word out as today's! I guess that isn't very "Authentic" of me!)
So how do we interpret what goes on around us? That is actually quite important, as misinterpretation often causes problems, even arguments or even fights.
(Yes, I relate misinterpretation with misunderstanding, as to interpret something wrong absolutely means to not understand it!)

The Word for Today is Authenticity.
To me, this means to relax and simply be myself! If you put yourself out as something you are not, then you have to work to maintain that illusion. Why not simply be who you actually are?

The Word for Today is Socialization.
Yes, folks, human beings are Social animals. That is one lesson I am most certainly learning myself, as I tend to stick to myself. But it feels good to be part of a friendly group of people.

Word for the Day for Wednesday, August 27, 2008
The Word for Today is Concentration.
When I was a child, I remember a game show called Concentration. In it, you were shown clues on a multi-square game board. When you would see the same clue later on, you were supposed to remember the original square with the same clue. Not only a test of concentration, but of memory.
The idea is that when you concentrate on a task, it is easier to complete it. Not only that, but you can often do it quicker.

The Word for Today is Acceptability.
Do you accept yourself? Can you stand in front of a mirror and accept yourself as you are?
That can be one of the toughest questions in a person's life. But it can also be a healing one.

The Word for Today is Generosity.
This is, of course a wonderful trait to develop.
There is a paradox associated with this one: The more generous a person is, the more that person tends to have to be generous with.

Weekly Theme for August 24-30, 2008
The Theme for this week (Sunday - Saturday) is Union.
The idea here is that nobody is an Island to themselves -- we all are united. Find the connections between us, rather than concentrating on what divides us, and there will be no reason for any more wars in this world.

Word for the Day for Saturday, 8/23/2008
Actually, there are two words for today: Overview and Perspective
This is about not getting stuck in the details. Make sure you always have the overview, or big picture view of what you wish to accomplish. But also keep your perspective, how you relate to what is outside of you.

Word for the Day for Friday, August 22, 2008
The Word for Today is Reflection.
At first glance, this would appear to match last Tuesday's word, Review. However, I now understand (at least partway) the difference. Whereas Review comes across as a fairly active evaluation of "what was", Reflection is defined as "A calm, lenthy, intent consideration", which would better match Friday's "Priestly" influence.

The Word for today is Study.
I know this is a bad word for some people, including myself as a child. (What they wanted to teach me in school didn't often match what I wanted to learn).
But you know what they say, "A little Study goes a long ways".
Hope your day goes well!

A Partial Explanation of this BLOG
My sincerest apologies if this entry confuses you more than it enlightens you. Part of this may be the fact that I'm not experienced in expressing to a large audience, but part of this is the fact that I am being very careful (maybe more than is necessary) to avoid any copyright entanglements.
In the Michael Teachings, there is a basic concept of a Role in Essence, of which there are seven.
Likewise, in the Michael Teachings, there is a concept of an Individual (called a "fragment" in some of the books), but then, moving "up a ladder", or, perhaps more accurately, "up an octave", there is a concept of an Entity, which contains a varying number of individuals, but, if all "spaces" are filled without any wild cards, it will contain 1029 individuals. If you divide this by three (to account for the real meaning of the Holy Trinity, which is Truth, Love and Beauty), then you come up with 343.
There is a document that I would like to share with you in some form. However, I am holding back at this moment, due to a wish to avoid copyright entanglements, which could add Karmic Threads to this physical life, an added complexity I would prefer to avoid. So I will describe it in a "vague", big picture view: Imagine a three-dimensional array, seven by seven by seven. I'll describe them my way, and then let people come forth from the other facets of the Michael Teachings to provide me with good links, or "bridge pages", where my BLOG could possibly go seamlessly to, say, a page on the Michael Educational Foundation site, if it is appropriate to do so. But, getting back to my array, I'll now ask you if you know the concept of "role in essence" and, if not, if you followed the link a couple of paragraphs above and read up on this concept? Good. This three-dimensional array (and days of the week), uses these roles, but in a possibly different order than you may be used to: To save time, I'll put days of the week with the corresponding role now, but, obviously, when talking about "Michael Month" or "Michael Year" (whether lesser or greater), days of the week would not fit quite as well.
So here goes: Sunday corresponds with Server, Monday with Artisan, Tuesday with Warrior, Wednesday with Server, Thursday with Sage, Friday with Priest and, finally, Saturday with King.
My discovery of this correspondence with my life occurred gradually in 2007, finally culminating in August 18, 2007, when I figured out, beyond a shadow of a doubt (meaning in my own, primary experience), where I fit in this chart. All of the help that I needed from "above" was to "know" one day, because then, I can calculate anything else. (Advise to Michael students: Don't ask the same questions over and over again! You will only invite confusion. In other words, be as clear as you can be with your question and ask it once. If you need further clarification, bring Michael up to date on what they were talking to you before, because they deal in multiple versions of you! If you try to "trip up a Channel", you'll only be tripping up yourself. Consider this a word for the wise for both Skeptic attitude and, to a lesser degree, goal of discrimination).
So what did I find on August 18th, 2007? That I was, on that day (a Saturday or King day), moving from one Michael block, the Priest block (which I had just started getting used to), to the King block, where I would really need to know what I was doing. Because this was a process, which I will describe in further detail in another essay somewhere, which finally needed all of Ken Parker on board, even the Personality. So, on Sunday, August 19, 2007, a big shift occurred in my consciousness, corresponding to the movement to a new block. The old one is, of course, still experiencing, but I'm now home.
The very recent dream discovery was that a universe I created uses this as its actual calendar. Now this is something I really need to develop, and probably will be discussing on the other site more than this one. But anything is possible.
One more point I will make for those who know their "address" in the Michael system, we are currently in the Love side of the Entity. So today, Tuesday, August 19, 2008 (at least in the Pacific Time Zone), the "magic number" is 661.
So, to sum this up, today, Tuesday, August 19, 2008, corresponds to the King Mastery Block, the Scholar Integration Row, and the Warrior Casting Column, with the number 661, making this "Lesser Year" the Love portion of the "Greater Year".
Now, coming up, we have three more "weeks" in this "Michael King Month" (corresponding to Sage, Priest and King). But on Sunday, September 14, it all changes, as we shift to the New Lesser Year, corresponding to Beauty or Energy.
Try this on for size. See if it fits. It sure seems to fit what I see in the news, as well as what I personally experience here in Seattle. Finally, have fun and keep your sense of humor.

Word for the Day, Tuesday, August 19, 2008
The word for today is Review.
To me, this means what it says. For example, when I go to bed at night, I review the day so far, even as I am planning tomorrow. In addition, one of my regular Sunday activities is reviewing the prior week, even as I consider what I wish to do in the week to come.

The word for today is Experimentation.
Yes, try something new, that you haven't done before. Go ahead. What's the worst that can happen? :-)

The Weekly Theme for August 17-23, 2008
Hello everyone. Sunday begins a new week. This post is on Monday. So I guess I'll say a few words about Sunday after presenting the theme.
This week is about Integration. That is a loaded word for sure! My take on it is that we take in all the possibilities, even those we didn't think we needed.
Sunday came and went. The word for the day was Recognition. Like who do you recognize that has provided you with what you needed to live your life up to now?
