auto-suggestion

[lavender1]

it seems to me
(too?) many of today's survival
strategies and tactics
rest or are built upon
auto-suggestion
couéism

its inventor may have become irrelevant
but this methodical indoctrination
of willpower
that positive thought is the justification
for
is a dangerous error
imo

it is a manipulation of the frequency spectrum
man has with nature
the universe and all living beings

our early ancestors were humble
and the masters from such traditions
too
the spirit realms were accepted as
that of god's

our five talents are our five senses
to use for perception
and then add to them in prospering
expression
thus (cor)responding with love and appreciation
once this principle is understood
it must stop us from going against our nature
no happy person would do that anymore

It seems that
Norman Vincent Peale took a free ride on this
I am of two minds on this
rather than repeating a private mantra for self development
which i do occasionally
i have developed my own theory on the positive nature of our collective evolution
and prefer to remain connected to where we all are now
believing in and sharing in our slow forward pace
instead of flying off up ahead to some cloud in the sky

There can be no lasting joy in heaven
while one soul suffers in hell

our five talents are our five senses
to use for perception
and then add to them in prospering
expression
thus (cor)responding with love and appreciation
once this principle is understood
it must stop us from going against our nature
no happy person would do that anymore

Very nice observation

i did not know peale, nor where he comes from, nor could i have known how such authoritative schools of thought arise: only one thing is clear to me who only can grapple with occidental histories and environmental experiences, it's me plus followers, hopefully them seeing themselves as attached enough.

communities are extremely fragile constructs, not too supportive of strong individual membership ~~~ such never survive the egoes of their "leaders".

and in times of crisis, it's a friend in need is a friend indeed.
too often, substance is too scarce to team up with a doubtlessly perfect spiritual concurrence.

but such is by no means new. the basic tenets of our beliefs need more scrutiny than ever. imho.

this apparent global 'cult of positivism' has simply rubbed me the wrong way for too long. i had to track this discomfort to its origin.....

to me, it is very, very sad that such could cause an ideological rift even in all personal relationships.

well, being practical and pragmatic ~~~~~ what else can one be in this world?
if there is auto suggestion, and auto perception, then soon the perfect world may consist of automated beings.

in pursuit of "happiness", it appears, one upmanship has crafted the hierarchies and much incompatibility thereof with life-sustaining ingredients like a divine law.


any wolves? any priests?

"i like your style"
ilove philosophizing....

positive expectations and painful truths behind them. how they have cancelled out each other..





getting to the "flip" side of nothingness. not fast enough though.

A Magical Potion
Morning Dew

The world awakens each day from its nightly slumber, transformed by a sparkling layer of morning dew on the grass.

The world awakens each day from its nightly slumber, transformed by a sparkling layer of morning dew on the grass, on flower petals and leaves, on cars and car windows. These glistening droplets last only a little while, an integral part of what imbues the early morning with its aura of magic. If we sleep too late, we miss the magnificent display of sunlight playing upon an infinite amount of tiny crystal balls. To step onto the dew-covered grass is to anoint our feet with a form of water that comes only once a day for a short time, a rarefied gift of the night air that will soon evaporate in the full light of the sun. If we inhale slowly and consciously enough, it is almost as if we are drinking in this magical elixir formed in the boundary between darkness and light.

In one myth, morning dew is believed to be tears from heaven, and in another, the droplets are poured from the vessel of the goddess of dawn. When we see the earth draped with these shimmering drops, it is easy to imagine fairies bathing in the water, or a sky god weeping from a longing to be closer to his beloved earth goddess. Seeing the sparkling beauty of the earth emerging from darkness, we may understand this longing in terms of our own gratitude; how blessed we are to be here.

Perhaps heaven really does long to be here on earth, and perhaps that is why we are here—as conduits between the divine and the earthbound. As we drink the morning dew in with our eyes, our skin, our breath, it is easy to imagine that it really is a magical potion, a gift from heaven, a reminder of our true purpose, and a daily opportunity to be transformed.

The songs actually is called "Split Personality"

Half I'm it and half I'm she
What a shame it is to be
Such a split personality

No one knows the real girl inside me
Because of all my dreams, I wonder...
Where's the he for this mixed up she
Fish or man who will marry me?
Cause I'm longing for a wee
Little split personality

Gregarious and Lively

A gregarious mood today may find you enjoying the spotlight. While you are feeling extroverted, it is a good time to reach out to others with whom you may have fallen out of touch. Organizing a party or casual get-together may give you the chance to be the center of attenion, while acting as the lively host or hostess may make you feel like the life of the party. Your joy will be infectious and will affect the mood of everyone around you in a positive way. Don’t be afraid today to let your mood lead the way to social interaction.

When our light shines so brightly, it reaches out to touch others. In the process, we let down the walls that most people use for protection and show others that it is a joy to be free from such burdens. Our energy is like a spotlight that focuses attention like a lighthouse beacon, attracting others but also illuminating those around us. You may find yourself returning the smiles of strangers whose awestruck faces show them to be temporarily hypnotized by your glow. In this state, we teach by example, showing the benefits of reaching out to others and making connections. Such connection is like an electrical current and gives all involved a surge of energy. So today as we shine our light and enjoy the attention, we can know that we are also rekindling the spark within those around us, helping us all to glow more brightly.
