A chance meeting

I was out riding today.  Took my mountain bike along the old railway trails that run for 100’s of kilometers around the lower island.  Met a man.  An older man who had just rode 115 k’s and was on his way to do another 40 or so in the afternoon.

To say that I was impressed is to state it lightly.  Especially when I placed his age in the 70’s.

He was so interesting.  His perspectives on the world were enlightening.  Leaving the Ukrain as a child and moving to Canada;  as an observer in several eastern European elections; as a retired medical technician; as an outdoorsman, cyclist, park host… We talked for at least two hours.

His perspectives on life were summed up in  a statement he made to me: “you cannot plan the next hour, only live it.”

and, “a person is not good because of his race, creed, or color; and he is not bad because of it: a person is either good or bad in spite of his race, creed, or color.”

Ahhh. Philosophy in the rain-forest!  Didn’t get his name — didn’t seem to matter to either of us.  Did get his vibe, however.  Alive, healthy, wise, happy, and doing alright financially.

I am ever grateful to have met this kindred forest spirit.  So clear in thought, so kind, generous, and exceptionally interesting.  I really do hope that he remembers the website address that he asked me for and does drop by for a visit or to say a few words.

Namaste all.

Piercing the Ego Consciousness

Section 25 — The Synergy in Life System

You really really have to read and digest this bit….  It is exceptionally powerful information.  Understanding ths construction of ego signals the beginning of a new path.

Piercing the Ego Consciousness

In each of our heads there is an ongoing stream of thought and even a voice that rambles on through nearly every moment of our existence.  In doing so, it is creating a resonance, yet most people are wholly unaware of and not in control of the thoughts and so not in control of the frequency; most people are not at all in touch with their resonance, it just happens haphazardly because the stream of thoughts go on without direction.  To a great extent this stream of thinking and the emotions associated with it is compulsive, reactive, repetitive, and involuntary – not at all under control – in fact, they are controlling you.  Read the rest of this entry »

Gratefully Appreciate; Gratefully Allow

The Synergy in Life System — Section 21

This next section reminds me of the dynamic tension needed to play a sport well or to do well playing an instrument, or to excell in the arena of academia, or being an excellent craftsperson… etc.  The dynamic tension I speak of is that needed concentration on the task at hand — that complete being in the moment — coupled with a gentle, positive mindset.  Too much mental focus, or ‘forcing’ will not allow the flow needed to excell.  To flow… you must flow. 

Gratefully appreciating and allowing is a mental state.  A mental state that is concentrated, dynamic, and pleasantly positive.  A dynamic balance.  Is there a better state of mind?!

Gratefully Appreciate; Gratefully Allow

Gratefully appreciate and gratefully allow affluence to be your natural state.  Gratefully appreciate what you have now and gratefully allow yourself the correct belief that you are meant to express life fully and with joy, meant to enjoy abundant affluence.  Be grateful for and nourish the health you have now.  Give fuel to that health by noticing it, exploring it, appreciating it and expanding upon it.  Be grateful for and nourish the wealth you do have.  Give fuel to that wealth by noticing it, exploring it, appreciating it and expanding upon it.  Be grateful for and nourish the happiness you do have.  Give fuel to that happiness by noticing it, exploring it, appreciating it and expanding upon it.  Gratefully allow affluence to abundantly increase in your life, as it is meant to.

Gratefully focus upon what you desire with such clarity and enthusiasm that you leave no room for other thoughts and actions.  Focus your mind upon affluence.  Believe in affluence, give thought to affluence, and feel it within you, for this authentic triad of belief, directed thought, and feeling is the first experience you will have with a concept that will be given more attention later called Inner Management. For now, however, and in logical progression, Step three is to gratefully believe in the rightness of your desire for affluence with such force of thought, intensity and pervading feeling that there is no room left within you to hold contrary thoughts or to take contrary actions.  Give everything to your positive development, save nothing for the negative.  Affluence was intended for you upon your inception, and now you must prepare to meet it at the source.  Pursue your natural expression, resonate with your natural expression, and gratefully appreciate, gratefully allow.

The highs and the lows of life…

“Life is a gift when you know how to create and enjoy the highs

and survive and build strength from the lows.”

This quote is from the “about DRL” section of this site.  I didn’t really remember writing it until a good friend mentioned something about it hanging on many office walls in her hospital. 

At this, I twisted my head and said, “what is hanging on many office walls in your hospital?” 

“Your quote!” she said. 

“What quote?!” I remarked ever more intrigued.  Well,  you get the idea. Eventually she got out her Blackberry and brought up my page and read it back to me.  “Wow,” I said.  “That’s pretty good!”

I smile even now.  What I wrote was and is true and I am very honored that Heidi has it on her wall and others have taken to making photocopies and putting it on their walls….  Absolutely fantastic. 

What is very interesting to me is that I forgot that I wrote this little line, and even more so, that people would be inspired by my words.  Thank you!  Thank you; thank you.

Its amazing what effects we have, every day.

What is Systems and Synergy.

There are always good questions and comments regarding Systems and Synergy.  Orlando recently checked in with a nice comment.  In my daily life, people keep asking me questions like: ”So, just what is this systems and synergy you write about.”  I always try to explain with… well, too many words. Then I realized just the other day that to have a practiced, concise answer to this good question is not slick or glib.  I realized that a precise and concise answer is important and necessary.  Here is the answer: Read the rest of this entry »

Positive Self Talk Reduces Stress and Happiness Makes you More Successful!

I like the ABOUT website because it hosts experts in many fields.  I have an application on my igoogle page that feeds headlines from several sites to my desktop each day, including those on ABOUT.

This morning, the following articles really caught my eye.

Happy People — Secrets of Happy People

Now, these sites have all sorts of advertising, but that’s okay.  The information is sound.  It just goes to show — once again — how important directed thought is.  The resources I studied and synthesized for my book go back as far as 2000 or so years right through to the present.  Here is another example of modern science discovering the power of thought.  Systemitized synergy… its the best!  Have a great day!

Health, Wealth, and Happiness!

Section 18 of the Synergy in Life System

Your Desire for Affluence is Natural

Your desire for affluence and your desire to discover and act upon your higher purpose is the reason you are reading this book and progressing through this system.  As you have read this far, it is likely that this system is making sense to you and is believable.  You likely resonate with the belief that a good life is led through the performance of constructive and generative and purposeful action and in its highest form finds expression through ideal health, abundant wealth, and sincere happiness.  You likely also know that when you make the most for yourself, you will have the greatest possible chance of making more for others.  You will most certainly create more life within yourself by realizing your desires of affluence.  You will create more for you and others by being affluent, by: eating the best foods; resting well and without worry; being surrounded by and appreciating beauty; seeing amazing sites; reading nourishing words; creating; experiencing joy and wonder in others; realizing your purpose; engaging in excellent activity, engendering health, enjoying wealth, and glowing with happiness.  Allow yourself to believe that you were brought to life in this life giving universe to rise to your greatest possible heights during your time on this earth.  Allow yourself to believe that your desire of affluence is natural and good. 

You can live your life completely and as it was intended through your realization of your desire for affluence.  Just like the flower is able to be moved, so can you move yourself and create conditions of affluence in your life.  Seeking affluence is seeking the capacity for a larger and more fulfilling expression of natural life; it is a natural energy that is seeking fulfillment within you.  It is a natural desire and a natural birthright.  Your desire for affluence is natural and right.

The Community Earth Council Movement

Margaret has provided the following comment:

“I would suggest anyone who is interested in the power of groups taking action to look in to the Community Earth Council movement.”

The Earth Council site welcomes you to their page with the following statement, followed by even more introduction:

Community Earth Councils (CECs) are groups of elders (50+) and youth (16-28) working together to address global environmental and social challenges at the local level. CECs build community, helping young people find meaning and purpose while providing elders with a way to give back, inspire, and impact the future. Participants in a CEC explore how, together, they can bring vision into action.

First, however, they spend time getting to know each other, sharing their stories, hopes, and aspirations. They then explore possible projects for addressing a community need, possibly by partnering with other individuals and/or organizations. After a period of planning, they move to implementation, working shoulder to shoulder.

Is this not worth doing something with… about?  Anyone with any connection to this that would like to comment.  I am watching the numbers on this site, and they continue to grow — a lot of onlookers?  Anyone have a contribution on this topic?

More Effective Just By Listening to Music?!

More Effective Just By Listening to Music?!

During the 1970’s I was introduced to a book called Superlearning.  I can still remember the book and the many lessons within it though I was young.  The single most important part of this book was what it taught me about increasing effectiveness and success through music and learning — particularly Baroque music.  Hey, why not make learning and performing easier and more effective and save time? ! You’d have to be crazy not to go with this research… Read the rest of this entry »
