nor have the planets' dance created a show like the one I'm watching in my personal life right now.
If anyone else is having their life affected, can we please cry together?
Shared sorrow might make it all a bit easier.
YesQuote:

"Hey, I was in the middle of a movie..." :)
About sharing sorrow, and I hope you're doing well, Ulli and Nora, if I understood it well, a so described Saturnalian force is now trickling, or pouring, over my Mercurian ponderings. Pushing and forcing things into a demanded format. Venusian pleasances also being spoiled by that hovering cloud :angry:
It does seem that much speaking is required now, and that any type of speaking is an all-or-nothing, no half gains. On the other hand, preparation (evt. one does get the gist), however profound, seems to yield only half of the results you'd expect at other times.
Challenging times for vibrating vocal cords.

I’m intentionally staying away from everyone because I don’t want to infect them with the ickies. Thank Gawd, there’s no one around to struggle with but myself. There’s been two of me for the last couple of weeks. One that’s task oriented, feverishly gathering information and skipping bedtime. And the other that’s closet eating, guilting over bad food choices and escaping through movies to hide from all that’s going on.Quote:

Best meditation aide I have heard ...
Then that was pretty amazing, given your subsequent post about needing to cry together. This is an example of another advantage of communication: you get bonus points for trying. We need to hear more from Playdo and from anyone else who is holding back.Quote:

Posted by araucariaUlli, I was not thinking of anyone in particular (least of all present company) when I wrote my above post; but of course if something is to have any relevance, it is going to resonate with someone. Sorry if that was uncomfortable for you.Quote:

It was just such perfect timing for you to share those thoughts.
There are as many ways into this as there are people doing it. As you know, I am not into astrology at all, but I find myself very much on the same page as Tom. I used the word ‘uncomfortable’; he says ‘we are not comfortable’. I talk about communication; Tom says ‘we have to talk’. He talks of Venus putting on a quality ‘London Philharmonic’ performance on Leo’s stage for a demanding audience (Saturn); I show Simon Rattle telling his audience to ‘stop smiling, this is the [Berlin] Philharmonie’! It helps to have knowledge of things like astrology, but nothing is indispensable. We can be on the same page simply by being attentive to where we are, i.e. through feeling the same planetary influences together as we inevitably do. This is proof of how this form of communication definitely works, and leads to harmony: synchronicity seen as the physical manifestation of a desire. Or of a non-desire: I would like to know more about astrology, but I find I don’t need to.
A couple of Christmases ago, my wife went to buy a loaf and the baker’s wife started explaining how there would be no chocolates because her supplier had let her down. My wife replied that as it happened she was just on her way to visit a family member who is a pastry cook to help him with his one-man chocolate factory; she could take an order and bring back the chocolates in a couple of days. This sort of occurrence is on the increase, even in the commercial context of ebay, online bookstores etc. It may seem pretty routine these days to receive in Europe an out-of-print book from South Africa, the US or even Australia, often for pennies, but when you think about it, you are finding a needle in a haystack. But you have to ask first. Often the hard part is not giving, it is asking. Most people are probably better at giving than at asking. Asking means accepting the imperfection of needing something. If you can’t accept that, the alternatives are taking (stealing) or doing without. The über-rich elite steals and doesn’t give, the scarcity-driven populace does without and gives (is robbed of) what little it has. These two behaviour patterns both fall away when we learn to apply Jesus’s simple formula, ‘Ask and you shall receive’. It also means a) having no possessions that one is not prepared to give away to someone in need and expressing that need and b) having nothing that one is prepared to be robbed of by someone with no need, i.e. owning little worth stealing to attract thieves and subsequently grieve over.
Sync, Araucaria, just telling sibling they should ask and how you can gain from asking.
Thanks, meeradas...you made my day :ROFL:Quote:

This one deserves it, for sure.

The audience: they laugh as if it were a good joke and have no idea, that they are laughing at themselves. Not in a humorous way, full of self-irony, no, they realize nothing. Such has always made me sad.Quote:

edit: I confess, each time I watch it, I'm laughing harder. Confusing times . .
Btw . . Nietzsche declared: God is dead. But . . who is dead now ? Ok, just joking . .

lol to This made my day!!! Thanks Meeradas
a true story:
little story: I was coaching a manager managing a group of blue collars and he would get very upset at times, even vindictive. I worked with him to find out what he would tell himself internally right before getting upset, in order to replace those beliefs leading to his difficult behavior impacting on those situations he was aggravating (I should do that for myself too!!!).
Then he found words to replace the detrimental ones (while holding the same fundamental values he wanted his worker to share, such as work ethics, perseverance, etc).
The short sentence he found which worked marvelously with him was : not Worth a fu ck. (we just agreed he should not tell his company's higher management about his new mantra).
He is much more patient with his employees now.;)
(yes this is the kind of work I used to do, plus training in corporations - I just got overworked, plus personal problems, and tired to have no colleagues to work with. And some other work related detrimental stories - I really could make wonders for some employers or companies - I do not understand why I am overlooked, even if I am older)

Possibly because you threaten their current order?Quote:

That they think they need someone like you when things are broken and they don't want to understand that things are broken?
It's all in the NLP of the presentation.
Get them on the after effects, not the current situation.... which is the thing that sits like a pained turd in the middle of the room/business.
Advertizing is about presenting the cart as being a done deal, before the horse ever arrives on the scene. That the world is beautiful now, but no mention of the issues of now - or how to get there.
Ie, do you create and make better and beautiful worlds, or do you fix problems?
People don't want problems, they don't want to deal with problems, they don't want to know of problems...they want and will grasp for better worlds.
This is why advertising is full of worlds and moments that have yet to be reached.
Place the beauty in their mind (their desire, as a projection)... once they commit... then the pain can come along and be dealt with.
On other subjects... I was wondering why 'they' (the ever ambiguous them) were so upset with me as of recent. The Goldman Sachs angle of the Greek issue is now coming up, and it seems no one was speaking about it, even a week ago. Except for.....(cough cough)
Yep ... you haven't been talking to my wife have you???Quote:

Thanks Carmody,
I will reread you, this time not because I do not understand, because I do, but to have therse words immersed within me. Project the postive and the dream world using NLP if needed, then on a daily basis help with the problems.
What you are telling me is to always have the targets in front of my eyes, the targets for them, to make their life better, and flash the better in front of their eyes. In other words, implement the future positive and growth happennings in the now. Create the future now, while talking to them.
Yes, I will change my pitch. Thank you
And read this post of yours again, to refine my présentations.

Oh Meeradas, I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. That’s friggin hilarious!Quote:

The f- word is a magic word because it is a place-holder for just about any feeling that people want to express without bothering to explore exactly what it is they are feeling. If you use the same word to describe feelings of say anger, frustration, delight, love or hate, the danger is that you only ever experience one single emotion of anger-frustration-delight-love-hate. It is not so much that God is dead: language and communication are dead, and ultimately man is dead; the beast has taken over with a vengeance.
In contrast, you have the original French version of the Smurfs, Les Schtroumpfs, (I don’t know how this is done in English), in which the nonce word schtroumpf is likewise a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, with various meanings to suit the context. This is the exact constructive opposite of the f- word because small children delight in working out the words and meanings that are being expressed, thereby expanding their vocabulary and their range of feelings as they go along. In other words, what we are seeing is more dumbing-down, which inevitably leads in only one direction, with the finer feelings losing out to the coarser ones. To describe something exquisite, one is typically lost for words in a very different sense, going through several to find them all inadequate, and trying out more to build up an overall impression that is increasingly subtle. This is the creative direction of art and literature; it might be said that Proust wrote 3,000 pages solely in an attempt to capture the feelings he experienced on tasting a madeleine cake dipped in some tea. On the other hand, ‘f-king’ will be used to qualify words that are themselves weak and vague; phrases like ‘f-king great’ and ‘f-king awful’ are still incredibly sloppy notions that any remotely careful writer or speaker would try to replace with something richer or more precise.
This is why I am rather ambivalent about that meditation video, because it works if you are trying to empty your mind of, to use another in word, all the sh!t in your life; but if you are trying momentarily to empty your mind of finer feelings and concern for loved ones, to me ‘f-k that’ leads to the wrong sort of emptiness. It causes a disconnect between meditation and the active form of living instead of meshing them together as two contrasting aspects of the act of being in the world.
What I am saying can also be applied to emptiness itself. It is all very well exploring the 49 or however many forms it takes, emptiness, nothingness, vacuity, the void. The trap lies in the fiftieth form, which is nihilism. This takes us from the existence of nothingness to the reverse: ‘nothing exists’, meaning nothing at all, that there is no reality. A self-contradiction since that thought is real enough. Pascal, cogito: I google those two words for French sites, and there you go, the English f- word pops up in third place:
http://www.liberation.fr/societe/201...r-trash_840342
This means that anyone who were truly to adhere to the doctrine that nothing exists, creating that non-reality… would not exist other than being a figment of the imagination of those of us who do exist. Our collective imagination is currently in overdrive, a definition of insanity. We need to forget about what doesn’t exist and focus on what does, by moving from thinking to knowing. There is a mathematical proof for how we get from ‘I think, therefore I am’ to ‘I know God exists’.

To sum up what I’m trying to say, there is an infinite gulf between seeing oneness emerging from nothingness and seeing oneness disintegrate into nothingness, and only an infinitesimal distance between a ‘f-k that’ meditation and the one-size fits-all anger-frustration-delight-love-hate non-spectrum of the ultimate dumbing-down. That meditation would be fatally incomplete without the subsequent ‘love that’ love everything return to physical reality that it builds up to.
