KING COTTON 1858 Senator James Henry Hammond South Carolina

King Cotton
        In 1858 Senator James Henry Hammond of South Carolina replied to Senator William H. Seward of New York:
        "Without the firing of a gun, without drawing a sword, should they [Northerners] make war upon us [Southerners], we could bring the whole world to our feet. What would happen if no cotton was furnished for three years? . . England would topple headlong and carry the whole civilized world with her. No, you dare not make war on cotton! No power on earth dares make war upon it. Cotton is King."
Hammond, like most white Southerners, believed that cotton ruled not just in the South but in the United States and the world. Many economists agreed. In 1855, David Christy entitled his influential hook Cotton Is King. Cotton indeed drove the economy of the South, affected its social structure, and, during the Civil War, dominated international relations of the Confederacy through "cotton diplomacy."

Cotton in the Antebellum Period
        In the early eighteenth century, long-staple cotton was grown in Georgia and on the Sea Islands of South Carolina, but it depleted the soil and proved unprofitable to market. The intensive and laborious hand method of picking out cotton seeds severely restricted the amount of cotton that could be prepared for making into cloth. Cotton could not compete with rice and indigo for commercialization, and Southern colonialists experimented with the crop primarily for domestic use. Despite some increased cotton production during a tobacco depression between 1702 and 1706, few attempted to produce cotton commercially before the Revolutionary War.
        Extensive production of cotton awaited the advent of Eli Whitney's cotton gin in the spring of 1793. To separate the seed from the cotton, gins first used spikes placed on rollers and then saws. The influence of the gin was instantaneous; soon Southern mechanics set up gins as far west as Mississippi. By 1804 the cotton crop was eight times greater than it had been the previous decade. The cotton gin made practical the use of the heavily seeded short-staple cotton, which could he grown in upland areas more readily than long-staple cotton. An increase in market demand growing out of England's textile industry ensured favorable prices and spurred the ascension of the short-staple cotton industry.
        Cultivation of cotton, on both small and large farms, utilized relatively simple methods. Hoe ridge cultivation was developed after 1800 with ridges set apart about three to six feet, depending on the fertility of the land. After 1830 farmers used V-shaped harrows, which were converted into cultivators, side harrows, and double shovels. (Harrows raked soil with metal teeth to remove debris and smoothed out and leveled the soil once it was broken; cultivators turned the soil under; shovels were used as more traditional plows and also turned the soil over while digging deep furrows.) Cultivation procedures changed little throughout the nineteenth century. A bed for the cotton had to be prepared by clearing out the old stalks from the previous crop. Sometimes these stalks were beaten down with clubs, but if they were large (four to five feet), they had to be pulled by hand. Manure or commercial fertilizer was placed as deeply as possible in the furrow. Usually the cotton bed was built up in February and March. The actual planting of the cotton seed in most areas was in April: early planters risked frost; late planters risked dry spells. Planting was done by hand. In about a month, the plants were thinned. The crop was cultivated with a sweep plowed between the rows four or five times and hoed by hand three or four times. In the middle of June, when they were anywhere from six inches to a foot high, the cotton plants bloomed. Around the last of July or first of August, forty-two to forty-five days after they had blossomed, the cotton bolls opened. Picking usually began about August 20. Most of the crop was ginned immediately after picking.
        Cotton prices fluctuated wildly over the years. Prices were high until 1819, then down, up, and down again. In 1837 they hit a crisis low and remained rather low until 1848. Prices rose sharply in 1849 and 1850 but dropped in 1851, though not as low as previously. Throughout the remainder of the 1850s prices rose.
        The average amount of seed cotton used to make a 400-pound bale of lint ranged from about 1,200 to 1,400 pounds. The bales had to be transported from the gins to a local market and then on to larger markets. Cotton was shipped to market continually from September through January. Wagons loaded with bales of cotton often lined roads. The moving of cotton demanded better roadbeds, sometimes even plank roads, near market towns. River transportation to seaports was common from market towns located on rivers or canals. Major cities grew up at railroad stations as rail lines began to link the hinterland to ports and then to the Northeast and Midwest.
        Improvements in the production and transportation of cotton and the new demand for the fiber led to a scramble for greater profits. To reap the most profits and to provide the labor needed for cotton picking, a large number of slaves were imported into South Carolina and Georgia, and slave labor became a valuable market throughout the South. The way into the Southern aristocracy was through the ownership of land and slaves, and the way to get land and slaves was to grow cotton: the crop provided the cash and credit to buy both. At this time, too, the cotton kingdom pushed ever westward with planters searching for new and richer soils to grow more white cotton with the labor of more black slaves. Ironically, just as abolition-1st sentiment was increasing in the United States, the invention of the cotton gin instigated a deeper entrenchment of slavery into the Southern economy and society.
        The Southern aristocracy, which slavery created, dominated Southern society and inhibited the development of efficient methods for soil use. In the face of soil exhaustion, Southern planters needed to extend control into the fresh lands of the western territories. Hence, territorial expansion became a sectional issue as both North and South realized that western lands were essential for the survival of the Southern slave culture.
        Most discussions of cotton dwell on the short period when cotton did rule as king. This "mature" period of cotton and slavery was not necessarily typical of or relevant to the earlier periods of plantation agriculture that accompanied the emergence of the cotton mono-culture. Discussions also tend to treat the South as one unit rather than the large and varied region it was. The cotton kingdom extended west through Texas and north about six hundred miles up the Mississippi River valley.
        Antebellum history often seems dominated by scenes of plantations worked by slaves. Although thousands of large plantations employed slave labor and produced most of the South's cotton, numerically there were more small farmers, mostly whites, who cultivated the upland areas. Many of these yeomen were subsistence farmers and produced only a surplus of cotton for market. Southern farmers who did not grow cotton sold some of their foodstuff to the planters. Cotton could bring prosperity or depression, according to changes in the market, and these fluctuations meant very differing experiences for whites, slaves, and antebellum free blacks of each different region of the South.
        When at its peak, the demanding cultivation and transportation of cotton required the labor of the majority of men, women, and children in the rural South. Most Southern life was regulated by the agricultural economy, and more and more over time, this came to mean the cotton economy. Although free workers and slaves pursued a diversity of agricultural and industrial occupations in the antebellum South, by 1850 the routine of taking care of the white-blossomed, white-bolled, short-staple cotton plants increasingly typified rural Southern existence.
        By 1860, cotton ruled the South, which annually exported two-thirds of the world supply of the "white gold." Cotton ruled the West and Midwest because each year these sections sold $30 million worth of food supplies to Southern cotton producers. Cotton ruled the Northeast because the domestic textile industry there produced $100 million worth of cloth each year. In addition, the North sold to the cotton-growing South more than $150 million worth of manufactured goods every year, and Northern ships transported cotton and cotton products worldwide.

Cotton in the Confederacy

        As the U.S. cotton industry developed, other countries became more dependent on cotton produced in the American South. The power of cotton allowed the Confederacy to employ cotton diplomacy as its foundation for foreign relations during the Civil War; Southerners attempted to use cotton to pressure countries such as England and France into the war on behalf of the Confederacy. Southern leaders were convinced that the key to their success lay in gaining international recognition and help from European powers in breaking the blockade that the Union had thrown up around coastal areas and ports and that was increasingly effective as the war went on. (Although the Union blockade never thoroughly sealed the Confederate coastline, it was successful in causing Southern imports and exports to drop drastically at a time when the Confederacy needed to fund its huge war efforts.)
        Southerners saw cotton as the great leverage in this effort, and at the time this made sense. More than three-fourths of the cotton used in the textile industries of England and France came from the American South. Between a fourth and a fifth of the English population depended in some way on the textile industry, and half of the export trade of England was in cotton textiles. About a tenth of the nations wealth was also invested in the cotton business. The English Board of Trade said in 1859 that India was completely inadequate as a source of raw cotton; England apparently was dependent on the American South for cotton. This concept of King Cotton led many Southerners to believe that England and France would have to intervene in the Civil War in order to save their own economies. The Confederacy began applying pressure on the neutral powers through a voluntary embargo of cotton. Although Congress never formally established the embargo, local "committees of public safety" prevented the shipping of cotton from Southern ports.
        To exploit their leverage, the Confederate States sent William Lowndes Yancey, Pierre A. Rost, and A. Dudley Mann to England in the spring of 1861 to confer with Lord Russell, the British foreign secretary. As a result, the British and French granted the Confederacy belligerency status. It was a small victory, probably not very effective in helping the Confederacy. The cotton diplomats failed to arrange with England a denunciation of the blockade or the negotiation of a commercial agreement, let alone diplomatic recognition of the Confederacy.
        Regardless of wishful beliefs and England's real economic dependence on cotton, at the time of the outbreak of the Civil War an overabundance of cotton existed in Europe. Furthermore, British hostility to slavery decreased the likelihood of intervention. Moreover, it was not in the vested interests of the neutral powers, particularly Great Britain, to denounce the blockade. The Confederate government attempted to convince the Europeans that the Federal blockade was ineffective and thus illegal under the terms of the 1856 Treaty of Paris. The Confederacy failed to acknowledge that Great Britain, as the worlds foremost naval power, would desire to let stand any blockade, regardless of its legality or actual effectiveness. And to make matters even worse, the South's voluntary embargo undercut its own argument that the Federal blockade was porous.
        Although the South never succeeded in convincing foreign powers to intervene against the North, cotton diplomacy was successful in obtaining financial help from abroad. This came in the form of loans and bonds, which Confederate Treasurer Christopher G. Memminger guaranteed with cotton. The Confederate Treasury Department issued $1.5 million in cotton certificates during the war for acquisitions abroad. One such loan backed by cotton was the Erlanger loan, signed on October 28, 1862, and modified on January 3, 1863. This loan, amounting to $15 million, was secured by cotton. At the time cotton was worth twenty-four pence a pound, and the Erlanger loan made cotton available to holders at six pence per pound.
        This reliance on cotton for the security of loans, bonds, and certificates placed a great deal of responsibility on the Produce Loan Office, whose agents had to ensure that planters would fulfill government subscriptions of cotton at a time when many planters were unwilling to sell to the government. Ultimately, however, cotton enabled the Confederacy to realize $7,678,591.25 in foreign exchange.
        The Confederacy also hoped to raise tax revenue on the sale of cotton abroad. On February 28, 1861, Congress passed an act levying an export duty of 1/8 cent per pound on all cotton shipped after August 1 of that year. The government hoped to raise $20 million through the export tax in order to pay a $15 million loan funded by an issue of 8 percent bonds. But because of the tightening blockade and the South's own voluntary cotton embargo, the measure raised only $30,000. When the secretary of the treasury lobbied to have this minuscule tax raised, opposition from the planter class kept Congress from increasing it, even when the Confederacy's finances were desperate.
        To a degree, planter opposition also undercut Southern efforts to shift from cotton production to the planting of foodstuffs. The Confederacy was convinced it could become self-sufficient. It would produce all the food and cotton it needed, and revenue from cotton could buy weapons, blankets, and other manufactured goods until the Confederacy started manufacturing its own. Planters believed that the yeomen and pout would fight in the army and that slaves would continue to produce food and the South's greatest weapon, cotton.
        By the spring of 1862, however, there was already an abundance of cotton and a shortage of foodstuffs. In April 1862 yeomen soldiers could not go home to plant spring crops, and their families would again have no food. To encourage the growth of foodstuffs, every Southern cotton-producing state attempted to limit the amount of cotton that could be grown. State governors issued proclamations urging planters to reduce their cotton acreage by as much as four-fifths and encouraging them to plant enough wheat, corn, and beans to feed themselves, their slaves, and the armies in the field. The planters responded, cutting their usual acreage of cotton to about half and devoting the rest to food crops. Many planters even had enough surplus foodstuffs to sell to the families of the yeoman poor whose husbands and sons were away in the wan Still, the planters did not reduce their cotton production as much as the state and Confederate governments wanted. Some scholars argue that this is an example of how the Confederacy contributed to its own defeat by refusing to disturb the interests of the planter class.
        But even with resistance by the planters, the shift to the production of foodstuffs combined with the drain in manpower and the eventual Union occupation created a drastic drop in Cotton production as the war dragged on: 4.5 million bales were grown in 1861; 1.5 million in 1862; 500,000 in 1863; and only 300,000 in 1864. As production dropped, the price of cotton skyrocketed on the world market, and blockade runners decided the risks were worth raking; cotton-exporting corporations formed throughout the cotton kingdom. In addition, Mexico traded cotton directly across the Texas border.
        In an attempt to control the flow of cotton to Europe and rectify the declining economy, Southern politicians in late 1863 introduced an approach called the "New Plan." Through this series of administrative actions and congressional laws, the Confederate government became directly involved in blockade running. Rather than making contracts for supplies payable in cotton, the government itself began selling the cotton abroad and buying supplies with the proceeds, thereby cutting out the middlemen. The plans supervisor, Colin J. McRae, gained direct control over cargo space on blockade runners. Those who refused to accept a fair rate to transport cotton for sale by the government would have their vessels confiscated. The War Department increasingly turned to the sale of cotton to purchase needed supplies, and by the end of 1863 it bad reserved fully one-third of all cargo space on blockade runners.
        As a result of these measures and other financial consolidations under the plan, Confederate foreign financing was greatly improved and 27,229 bales of cotton were exported for $5.3 million in sales. But because of the Confederacy's early confidence in the diplomatic leverage of King Cotton, it did not institute measures such as the New Plan soon enough to make a considerable impact on the war effort. The South could nor keep its vital ports open or continue to endure Northern attacks on the battlefield.
        Some scholars have written with hindsight that the Confederacy might have been more successful, had it pursued a different strategy with its cotton. If Confederate leaders had confiscated all the cotton in the South and stored it, they could have used it as a basis to obtain credit from European nations. With credit, some scholars believe, the Confederacy could have bought a navy strong enough to break the Union blockade. Others argue that the Confederate government would have been better served if it had made cotton, nor gold, the basis of its currency.
        Although the Civil War ended the slave plantation system, it did not end the South's legacy of cotton. Cultivation of the crop had worn out much of the land. Many planted up and down on slopes, which then eroded. The concentration on cotton production meant complete reliance on a one-crop system; crop rotation was uncommon, and farmers did nor plow under clover or peas to restore humus to the soil. Diminishing fertility of cotton lands was a major problem farmers continued to face after the Civil War.

UNION COTTON TRADE
Selling to the Enemy

        If the Confederate government was able, albeit partially and belatedly, to gain control over the cotton trade with Europe, it had much less success in curtailing the cotton trade with the Union. On May 21, 1861, the Confederate Congress prohibited the sale of cotton to the North. Yet an illicit trade across military lines flourished between Southern cotton farmers and Northern traders. President Abraham Lincoln gave licenses to traders, who followed the Union army into the South. On March 17, 1862, the Confederacy gave state governments the right to destroy any cotton that might fall into the hands of the Union army. Some devoted Confederates burned their own cotton to keep it out of enemy hands. Other Southerners, however, discovered that Union agents were willing to pay the highest prices in over half a century for cotton or offered badly needed supplies as barter. Ironically, valuable currency for cotton from the North saved some small Southern farmers from starvation. But this selling of cotton to the North undermined Confederate Nationalism, as did the official Confederate trading of cotton with the North conducted in the last years of the war.
        As the price of foodstuffs reached astronomical heights and Confederate currency became worthless with inflation, the smuggling of cotton out of the South to the North increased. Women whose husbands had been killed or were away at the battlefield or in prison were heavily involved in forming these caravans. Rich planters and factors also made large deals with Federal officials. The situation became totally absurd when cotton was sold to Federal troops to get supplies for the Confederate army. Even President Lincoln approved an arrangement to send food for Robert E. Lee's Troop at Petersburg in exchange for cotton for New York. Ulysses S. Grant stopped this exchange because he was attempting to cut off Lee's supplies, but other such exchanges occurred through the Civil War.

POST 11/12/2018
Today I posted on Twitter the following:
I hope that some understand, around 1997 I took a new formation of my Christianity/Faith becoming an undercover christian- that which has been damaged/broken in society of mans creation: Serves GOD best as they heal De Mon Faire!

Those years 1997 and pre 1990. I remember dealing with my faith and trying my hardest to understand where I was going considering what I was feeling. I asked my family members (some Masons) as to my path in life regarding my decisions to put God to the side while I focus on my academics in Sociology and Social Service...He responded..."well you'll end up taking the long way to end up in the same place as us. That's how God/Jesus works." Well he couldn't be more correct uhm....There are a lot of Christians I have met on the way, that do the same. I remember me and one friend explaining to a younger Christian in Boulder City,  the fact that he had started using meth, doesn't mean that he has to surrender his faith and christian life. In fact the opposite is true, he should embrace it even more and especially dive into routine fellowships that keep him occupied! Our mistakes are not taken for granted in any way! Especially when the opposition utilizes the "Satan" (an Angel himself) to break or shatter a places faith!

Once Again THANK YOU FAMILY for keeping me strong in will and spirit, in presences and without presences...your love is FELT!

All in Christ are actually damaged goods

by Mike Ratliff
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV) 
There is a push in the United States to make it illegal to preach the truth from God’s Word where it pertains to the sin of homosexuality. Of course the emphasis of those laws or initiatives is to protect the rights of certain people based on their sexual preference, which is also called gay rights. They say that to preach what the Bible says about homosexuality is to foment hate; therefore, the laws are placed under the umbrella of hate crimes. On the other hand, some who preach against certain sins are also guilty of trying to force morality upon the unregenerate. How can an unregenerate person stop sinning? When Christians focus on sins that are abhorrent to God that should be just as abhorrent to believers, the focus should be on cleansing those sins from the Church itself. At the same time, we must never stop reaching out to the lost, no matter what sins are consuming them. God saves sinners.
Carefully read the passage above from 1 Corinthians 6. No one who is unrighteous will inherit the kingdom of God. Who is that? It is those who are fornicators (sexually immoral), idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, thieves, the greedy (covetous), drunkards, revilers, and swindlers (extortioners). There are more, such as liars, etc., however, what I want to focus on here is the statement by Paul in which he states that the Corinthians were guilty of all those sins, but they had been washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. It didn’t matter what they used to be, now they were new creations, behold all things were new.
We were all damaged goods. All of us were sinners whom God saved by His grace through faith as His gift to us. We did not earn nor deserve it and it was not by any work we did. It was all of God by His grace. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Therefore, no matter what sins consumed us before our salvation, God is able to quicken what was dead in trespasses and sins, putting life where death reigned and light where darkness ruled.
Prior to our salvation, all of us were guilty of viewing God and His ways as less valuable than whatever we really worshiped in our hearts in our idolatry. In fact, our view of our idols was that they were far superior to God.
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:21-32 (NKJV) 
Please carefully read this passage from Romans 1. What is the emphasis here? Why do men reject God and pursue their own way? Of course, when we do this, God does give us over to our reprobate minds, but why is it that we do this in the first place? What is it that we are really doing? Let’s look at one verse here.
28 Καὶ καθὼς οὐκ ἐδοκίμασαν τὸν θεὸν ἔχειν ἐν ἐπιγνώσει, παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς εἰς ἀδόκιμον νοῦν, ποιεῖν τὰ μὴ καθήκοντα, Romans 1:28 (NA28)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; Romans 1:28 (NKJV)
The phrase “did not like” is one Greek word (ἐδοκίμασαν). It means to try, prove, discern, distinguish, or approve. It has the notion of proving a thing whether it is worthy to be received or not.  In other words, what men, women, and children actually do is make a preference to worship or idolize someone or something other than God. In fact, if you go back and reread Romans 1:21-32 it should be plain that the one who is being worshiped is self. We worship self over God. We do not hold Him in our thoughts and concerns and focus. Instead, we put ourselves on the throne and all we do revolves around the god “self.” Prior to salvation, we are all just like this. However, after salvation things are different.
Prior to salvation we really had no choice. We are all created to worship someone or something and we are desperate for fulfillment. We seek those things that we believe will feed that hunger. However, nothing works. After salvation, things are different. We now have the ability to be fulfilled in Christ, to have joy and peace that lasts and satisfies like no fleshly pursuit ever could. You may be asking yourself what is wrong with you because that really doesn’t describe your walk. Please read and mediate on the following passage.
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV) 
If this is missing from your walk then you are not where you need to be. Let’s unpack this wonderful passage. Paul tells us that everything he has shared from Romans 1-11 should be taken and considered and in light of all of those wonderful truths, we need to present our bodies as living sacrifices, by God’s mercy and grace, to Him. This means that our lives should be walked before the face of God as living sacrifices. We are to die to self and live for Him. This is our spiritual worship. This is not just on Sunday mornings. This is all the time. All that we do, all day long, everyday must be lived out like this. How do we do this?
We cannot do this in our own abilities. In v1 Paul told us that we must do this by God’s mercy. It is through His grace that we can do good things. Jesus said that we cannot do anything good without Him. (John 15) How do we place ourselves in position to live this way? In v2 we have the answer. We must not be conformed to this world. Instead, we must be transformed by the renewal of our minds. The Greek grammar of the words “conformed” and “transformed” is Present, Imperative, Active. This means that these are commands that involve continuous, repeated action. This is something we do as we live and it never stops until we go home to be with the Lord.
The word “transformed” is the Greek word from which we get our word metamorphosis. It describes a process by which a tadpole becomes a frog or a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. For a believer it describes maturing from a flesh bound person to one who is spirit-filled. How does this take place? It takes place in continual mind renewal. What is this? This is what we do when we pursue God and stop pursuing what our flesh wants. We worship God with our lives. We read and study the Bible instead of feeding our flesh. Instead of watching TV or movies, we devote that time to prayer and reading godly books. Instead of listening to secular music, we listen to music that edifies us and glorifies God.
What happens to us when we do this? Remember that Greek word we looked at in Romans 1:28, ἐδοκίμασαν? Here it is again in Romans 12:2. In the NKJV it is the word “prove.” If we become transformed by continual mind renewal then our minds are changed. God opens them up so that we now hold Him in there as our most valuable treasure. We possess this treasure, our God, in our Hearts and know that there is nothing higher or more wonderful, or more desirable than knowing and loving Him as well as being His child whom He loves.
We were all once damaged goods. We were lost in our trespasses and sins and were guilty of some of the most heinous sins imaginable. However, none of that is a barrier to God’s saving grace. When God washes us clean through our regeneration, we are no longer damaged goods, but are new creations that are spiritually complete in Him. We will always have sins to deal with because our flesh is still with us, but we now have the ability to say no to what it wants and draw closer to God. When we fail, and we will all fail, we must come boldly to the throne of grace for cleansing and forgiveness (1 John 1:9). Then we must get back into the race with our eyes firmly fixed on our Saviour, as we once again become living sacrifices whom God transforms from damaged goods to the fulfillment of who we are in Him.
We are complete in Christ, but we are all relatively immature. When we are saved, we are spiritual babies. We are complete in that we are completely saved and will always be so, but we must grow and become mature believers by learning to be living sacrifices. When we do this we grow into the mature believers who live up to their completeness. In light of all of this we must ask ourselves if we are still damaged goods or, if not, if we are becoming living sacrifices who are growing into those who possess God as their most valuable treasure.
Soli Deo Gloria!

The Method of Christian Meditation

 

Fr. Tom Ryan, CSP
Contemplative awareness is regarded as a gift of the Holy Spirit. When we speak of “Christian meditation,” we are referring to a way of opening ourselves to receive this gift which we believe God most wants to give. Meditation is a preparation for contemplation. It is a way of reducing the hyperactivity of our lives and bringing us to a state of quiet, open receptivity wherein we are ready to receive the grace of contemplation. Today, Christian meditation represents a recovery and renewal of the fifth century teachings of John Cassian, the Eastern Christian practice of the “Jesus prayer,” the fourteenth century classic The Cloud of Unknowing, and other sources. In the 1970s, leading monastics such as John Main, Basil Pennington and Thomas Keating put order in the scattered elements of the tradition with an eye toward our contemporary inclination for simple, clear, “how-to” instructions.
Get started by meditating each morning and evening for twenty to thirty minutes.

THE ESSENTIAL TEACHING

  • Seek a quiet place
  • Sit in a comfortable, upright position, relaxed but alert with your eyes lightly closed. Remain as still as possible.
  • Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word or short phrase, e.g. Jesus, Abba, or Maranatha. Say it with faith and love. Some people find it helpful to say the word in equally stressed syllables in conjunction with their calm and regular breathing, e.g. Je-sus, Ab-ba, or Ma-ra-na-tha.
  • Do not think or imagine anything, spiritual or otherwise. When thoughts and images come and your attention strays, gently return to your word.

commentary

SEEK A QUIET PLACE

Choose a quiet corner of your room. A space which you use only for meditation and which is free from other associations is ideal. Decorate it with an icon, a candle, or an open Bible. If there is no quiet place in your home, look for one along the way of your daily route, e.g. a church.

Sit in a comfortable, upright position

Find a posture in which you can be settled, still, and alert. Be comfortable so that for the duration of the meditation period the mind will not need to tend to the body. A quiet body inclines a quiet mind. An erect but not rigid spine facilitates easeful breathing and alert wakefulness. Examples: sitting in a straight-backed chair; sitting with one’s seat on a prayer bench and one’s knees on the floor; sitting cross-legged on the floor with the buttocks slightly elevated by a cushion.

silently repeat your prayer word

Take a word from the context of faith; it will serve as a “pointer” for the mind. For example, “Maranatha” is Aramaic (Jesus’ own language) and means “Come Lord!” It is probably the most ancient Christian prayer. St. Paul ends his first letter to the Corinthians with it, and St. John ends the Book of Revelation with it. Because it is a foreign word, people generally do not have a lot of thoughts and images attached to it, which is an advantage since meditation is a way of prayer that goes beyond thoughts and images.
Another four-syllable mantra that easily accords with the breath is “Jesus, Abba.” Praying the holy name of Jesus has a long and rich tradition, and “Abba” evokes his own intimate communication with God. The breath on which the mantra rides is the Spirit, the bond of love uniting “Jesus” and “Abba.” Other prayer words or phrases are possible, and the tradition has many of them. Whatever your sacred word, by saying it with faith and with love, you generate the flow of faith and love in your own heart. Prayer’s first effect is in us. Once you have chosen your prayer word, stay with it and do not change it so that it becomes rooted in your consciousness.
Faithful repetition of the word is significant both in terms of attention and intention. The nature of the mind is to produce thoughts. One cannot expect the mind to all of a sudden come to a screeching halt just because it’s time to meditate. So the mind is given something to occupy it: a single word, which “thins out” the flow of thoughts in the mind and holds one’s attention on the Presence within. The word also carries one’s intention, one’s consent, to the work of God in us.

Dealing with Thoughts, Images, Feelings and Memories 

All of these are a normal experience in meditation. Expect a constant flow of them. To try to suppress all thoughts and feelings is both impossible and unhealthy. It is a question of not entering into dialogue with them, of not investing any energy by reacting, resisting, or retaining them. Just let them go. Their surfacing and passing up and out is part of the healing process of emptying, purification, and liberation that makes meditation a divine therapy. Each time you become aware that you have been “hooked” into dialogue with thought, gently return to your word, allowing it to repeatedly express your intention to be before the One Who Is, in full, loving attention.


Time and Frequency. 

The traditional times of meditation in all the world religions are early morning and late afternoon/early evening, before meals if at all possible. The recommendation of twenty to thirty minutes is made with an eye to two things: one, the minimal amount of time generally considered necessary to establish inner silence; and two, the maximum amount of time most contemporary people can realistically afford. The end of the prayer period can be indicated by a timer provided it does not have a loud tick or make a startling sound when it goes off. At the end of meditation, some make a gradual transition back into cognitive activity by slowly, interiorly reciting a prayer which expresses the attitude of openness and surrender which they have embodied during their time of prayer.

FINDING SUPPORT FOR YOUR PRACTICE

The “how-to” of meditation is simple. What is difficult is faithfulness to the discipline, holding that priority in place, interrupting what you are doing in order to pray. A support group praying and sharing together once a week helps maintain one’s commitment to the prayer and provides an opportunity for further input on a regular basis through talks, tapes and discussion.
The Christian Meditation School offers further explanation and resources for Christian Meditation. Contemplative Outreach offers excellent resources for Getting Started with Centering Prayer.

It's amazing that we can increase the joy in our lives, by understanding our spirit has an unlimited capability within this physical world.  Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's expressed, 
"We are spiritual beings, having a human experience."

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

By: Jeanne Moreau [P]
http://famous-relationships.topsynergy.com/Pierre_Cardin/

His desire for harmonious relationships and surroundings is so strong that he avoids personal confrontation or any expression of intense, unpleasant emotions. Pierre Cardin is an idealist who would like to paint the world in pastel colors, and live in peace and harmony with others at all times. He is able to see points of similarity and unity with people who are vastly different from him, and befriend many different types of people. He is a considerate and thoughtful friend, and has a real flair for making others feel accepted and appreciated. Inwardly, Pierre Cardin is often torn with indecision and is much more at odds with himself than others would ever guess based on his flawless disposition.


His own feelings and emotions are something of an enigma to Pierre, and it is often difficult for him to share with others what he is feeling. Pierre Cardin frequently withdraws from contact with the world, and needs a healing, peaceful environment in order to blossom and come out of his.
Cardin identifies with the oppressed, disenfranchised or underdog in any situation and he wants to help them or care for them in some way. Pierre Cardin genuinely appreciates and understands women, and is likely to have many female friends, a network of women who love and support him. It is relatively easy for Pierre Cardin to attract companionship and affection, and there will never be a lack of such relationships in his life. Children are very important to Cardin also.

Pierre Cardin tends to surround himself with people who are gentle, sensitive, peace-loving, and artistically or spiritually inclined, and there is a strong element of mutual compassion and sympathy in his personal relationships. It is easy for Pierre to tune in psychically to other people's feelings and emotional worlds. Pierre Cardin may share this type of telepathic link with his mother, sisters, or female friends in particular.

Pierre Cardin seems to be happy in his environment and is likely to be the center of attraction in his surroundings. Pierre Cardin has a kind, warm-hearted and cordial nature and he treats others with sympathetic and compassionate understanding. Warmhearted and generous in love relationships, Pierre Cardin cannot tolerate pettiness or stinginess in his partner. Pierre wants a hero to idolize and adore, someone to wholeheartedly admire and be proud of. Pierre Cardin is tremendously loyal and devoted once he gives his heart to someone.

Pierre Cardin craves love, appreciation and attention from others and hates to be ignored. He is rather susceptible to flattery and loves to feel special. Cardin enjoys a touch of drama and color in his love relationships and he is impressed by grand romantic gestures or extravagant expressions of generosity. Promoting beauty, the arts, or entertainment can make Pierre Cardin very happy. Pierre wants to contribute something positive and loving to the world at large and he wants to be recognized for his beauty, artistic gifts, or loving generosity. Pierre Cardin may "marry" his work - that is, being more involved in his career than in his private life. Cardin is a natural host or diplomat.

Pierre Cardin is warmly romantic and he openly expresses his appreciation and love of the opposite sex, though rarely in a crude or insensitive manner. He enjoys playing matchmaker and bringing people together romantically. Cardin is likely to find fulfillment and harmony in love relationships because he knows what he wants and needs in a romantic sense and expresses his desires honestly.

While he may seek loving relationships and an "everlasting" love, this is not easy for Pierre Cardin to find - or more precisely, to sustain. When Pierre becomes romantically involved with someone, either he or the other person will create rifts once a certain level of comfort and predictability has been achieved. Even if there is no outward break in the relationship, a certain emotional aloofness or dissatisfaction is apt to develop. This is because Pierre Cardin really wants both closeness and absolute freedom - a combination that is difficult to attain. However, if he does not at least attempt to honestly fulfill both of these urges, events seemingly out of the blue will wreak havoc in Pierre's closest relationships.

He is very romantic, idealistic and imaginative about love relationships. Pierre Cardin yearns for his "true love" or "soul mate" and may become disappointed in those who never quite live up to his dream image of the perfect lover. Cardin frequently fantasizes about love and often falls in love with someone he can only love from afar. He may avoid making a definite personal commitment. Gentle and sensitive, Pierre Cardin does not like to be approached in a very direct or aggressive manner. He is attracted to those with artistic or mystical inclinations.


Pierre Cardin has a merry disposition and a strong desire for pleasure and amusement. Interested in art, he has a sense of beauty, but also could be somewhat extravagant. His outgoing personality puts others at ease and Cardin tends to discuss love and beauty with them.

Poem of the One world
This morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the water
and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to
where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else
which thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself.

 INTUITION
Intuition is the process of gathering data from the environment, via an accumulation of sources. Besides the 5 primary sensory receptor sources (EYE-EARS-SMELL-TASTE-TOUCH). There are infinite ways by which the data/stimulus exist.  Webster, defines INTUITION as : Quick and ready insight. Immediate apprehension or cognition. Knowledge or conviction grained by intuition. The power of faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inferences.


The ability to cognate data/stimulus is one instance of intellect. Intellect again, only pertains to the ability to gather data, by which one is able to accomplish an objective. Daily  we all utilize intellect to maneuver ourselves through-out the environment.  When we use data that is without evident rational as defined by Webster. It becomes an issue as I posted on earlier blogs, regarding Michael Shermer and data by which a person utilizes non-rational decision by which they make decision. To rationalize these decision making variables, might seems ridiculous to the individual with the objective. It is by any means accessible that data can be obtain. Thus why limit ones self to a range of possible absolute terms. http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2018/03/why-i-never-believed-in.html

Intuition is often explained in actions. Action by which a person seems to be or suggest that they are guided by feelings, emotions, unclear visions, all representing data that involves cognition, to be explained.  I have often wondered, that in Shamanism, when a Shaman returns from the other realm (Non Conscious Reality) the data that they return with, is cognated or is it simple energy that then must be cognated to be understood. This is the difference between the information that Websters states as being, 'without evident rational'--WHY, because it can not be explained in terms of the human physical realm. In general some articles which explain this subject, bring into existence subjects such as Coded DNA and intuition and the process by which data is in some non-mass form (light, energy, smoke) and cognition along with patterns of Phonetics. The patterns in indigenous cultures have rhythmic beats that directly affect the individuals emotions and mood.  https://wakeup-world.com/2011/07/12/scientist-prove-dna-can-be-reprogrammed-by-words-frequencies/     and https://www.youwillchangetheworld.com/articles/brent-phillips-ignite-your-intuition-12-layers-of-the-dna .

In religion intuition is the connection one may be able to obtain by synching with the environment by which one lives. The term and conditions by which CHI is obtain, is the syncing advantage that empowers an individual. Some are more apt to render the data that is provided from God and the word (Bible) and in turn present that into something that is more advantage to others. It's a collective learning experience. When it takes on a faith basis, the factor of collective become even more rational. Seeming some will intentionally go through great lengths to prevent data from being obtained. I always think of earlier times in history when Christians may not have been able to fully developed full interest  Sir John Polkinghorne and thoughts of what would come to be quantum physics and faith. When I learned about Samuel Longhorn Clemens, regretting the fact that he left GOD out of the equation of life, that had been good to him. He stated the fact that 'God channeled those Great American Literary works through him. Using him to bring them into development until they where PERFECT!'

Wednesday's Google Doodle Celebrates Astronomer Guillermo Haro


, Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
Google
Today's Google Doodle celebrates Guillermo Haro's 105th birthday.
Today's Google Doodle celebrates the 105th birthday of astronomer Guillermo Haro, who discovered a new class of nebula and helped promote astronomical research in Mexico.
Haro, born on March 21, 1913, discovered a type of nebula now known as Herbig-Haro objects. These bright clouds form when jets of ionized gas from young stars collide with nearby clouds of gas and dust. Herbig-Haro objects are short-lived by astronomical standards; they last just a few thousand years, and they change dramatically over just a few years. Haro was one of the first to realize that these objects were the result of the cosmically violent process of star formation; astronomer George Herbig, working independently, came to the same conclusion at around the same time, so the two astronomers share the honor of the name.
NASA, ESA, and P. Hartigan (Rice University)
If you look closely at these Herbig-Haro objects, you can see bow shocks from waves of heated gas and dust.
And Haro also discovered a type of star, now called flare stars, which flares bightly across the whole electromagnetic spectrum for a few minutes at a time, on apparently random intervals. Today, astronomers believe that most flare stars are dim red dwarf stars, although there are some more massive exceptions, and their flares are high-intensity versions of solar flares, caused by changes in the stars' magnetic fields. Our two nearest neighbors, Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star, are flare stars.

In addition to new classes of astronomical objects, Haro also discovered several planetary nebulae, a number of young variable stars called T Tauri stars, a supernova and ten novae, and a comet. He also spent much of his career composing a catalog of blue stars toward the north galactic pole and a list of blue galaxies.
When he wasn't looking skyward, Haro advocated for astronomical research in Mexico, and in 1959 he became the first person from Mexico to be elected to the Royal Astronomical Society. He died on April 26, 1988.

 Our Universe is so beautiful!!!

Why The Game…Is It Any Wonder (No Mass: Cosmic Games) by: Paul Goree 2011-2014
WHY THE GAME…IS IT ANY WONDER (1 of 5 Why the Game-Sectional Chapters of No Mass:Cosmic Games) (by: Paul Goree  2011-2014)

Lot seemed perturb, only to be further frustrated; as he attempted to cognate some feelings of discontent. If it was nothing to be felt, then why would a settled suggestion exist. A suggestion, from the No Mass, stating as usual, what they would like to implant into Lots mind. As long as he fought the thoughts, which were not internal: he had the upper hand on this very exhausting communication.

LOT to ST. P
I dont’ get it? What is the feeling, of which nothing is felt, yet something is thought, ought to be felt!

ST.P to LOT
It’s just the game. The Game insist on having total control. Thus No Mass, pound upon a mind, like a constant jack hammer. It’s intent is to cement, seeds of conformity. By creating confusing within the internal mind, No Mass knows that sooner or later, the subject will break! It’s a cruel tactic, but no different than the one used on earth for brain washing.

I remember when I first came into contact with No Mass. They seemed like the most rudest creatures on earth. They had a way of sizing up entire events, without any regards to the universal error they had made. The error was because they lacked to include within their total, 80% of the totals variables. Their equation, left out unknown values, which are the core of 3rd dimensional social dynamics. It is termed, Simple Social Interaction. It hypothesizes that:
Wij = aj + B jE ( Wj) + yj Xij + uij


(This equation is altered, using individuals as the expressions, instead of countries, as stated in Daniel Felsenstein work.) The equation supposes that two individuals are identical except for the fact that A had more space than B. If the populations are the same where both resided, the inhabitant of B would have more opportunity to interact, considering proximity. This equation would have to take into account other variables, such as the earning levels of each, characteristics, education, sex, health, etc. The entire scope of defining an individual, is much more than it’s 20% sum. Yet No Mass, in their attempt to re-condition a mind. Selectively removed all variables that accounted for individualism. This way, they could have more control of the collective.

No Mass attempts to prevent Kiais-Spiritual Kiais, the soul shouting out to the universe. Unfortunately in the 3rd dimension, the majority are unaware of this fact. They may pray, but their prays are not complete in proportion to the essence to their faith.  Many over come this, through empowerment and human discipline. When such great events occur, the critic of such triumphs are shadowed. To make matters worst, the triumphs are often diffused early in their stages, by professional, who out of their own jealous worth; intentionally attend and not attend to create failure.
They didn’t want self pride to become a characteristic of the collective. They instead wanted the collective to be the pride of their individual defective souls. Each soul was ugly, damaged, sinful, manipulative, evil, and could not be trusted. However as a collective, the individual souls, formed a new identity for themselves. And this is where their pride should encompass.

They hated individualism. The ideal of an individual seeking internal peace, through reflective dialog within the self, was not tolerated. Negativity streamed the air, to interrupt such people, as they sought to meditate. There was noUNCONDITIONAL RESPECT for any person, seeking peace first for the internal, then the external. Such people were considered dangerous, because they socially isolated themselves from the external. It was considered offensive to be alone, think alone, dream alone.  It isn’t a wonder-it is incidental and it conditions, preventing the TAO humble tolerance. I was hated for my silence. While in my silence, I was reflecting my entire life. I was laughing inside to my silly antics. I was crying inside for my non-compassion. I was redeeming myself for the many times I wasn’t loving. And by doing this in silence, in my mind, alone, I was hated. People like to learn from one another-yes this is true. But before one can learn from another, shouldn’t they let that other learn of themselves first. Thus preventing chaos!

The feeling of frustration that you may feel, Lot. I understand-seeming the soul is captured within the physical elements of the 3rd dimension. Now that you are quasi physical in the 4th dimension, you have a clearer understand of energy. Your soul energy here is the same as it was in the 3rd dimension. One exception, you had less control of it. Seeming it was restricted by the physical body. The physical body prevented the soul from existing as a total. In-fact the conditions by which the soul existed, were quit cramped, and created an invisible pressure, equating to stress. Many awakening thoughts and practices in the 3rd dimension, sought to clarify the soul energy. They expressed such thoughts of the internal self seeking peace. Well that is in direct contradiction of 3rd dimensional reasoning.

The awakening thoughts suggest that the conflict of the internal soul seeking peace, creates external fixations. These fixations become psychosis to the peace seeker. When the peace seeker is in meditation, they are able to move the fixations into bubble like containers. These bubble containers rise above the peace seekers head, and become separate from the peace seeker, reliving prior stress. The more advance the peace seeker get, the bubbles start to burst. The objective is to burst all of the bubbles, thus removing the soul from the manifestations of the external world, that have occupied the mind/wit/soul/sub-conscious. Once this free empty state of mind is obtained. The soul can attempt to do what it does best. Transmute it’s self into the spectrum of the universe. Very few in the 3rd dimension get the opportunity to enjoy this wonder.

Lot you speak of feeling something, with nothing to feel, but ought to be felt! Well considering your quasi 3rd dimensional state, that is what it is-confusion. Yet imagine 4th dimensional existences, feeling the same as you, but towards a 5th dimensional lacking. In which they soulfully seek. Is it any wonder?

No Mass Cosmic Game
(By: Paul Dewitt Goree)

In the 3rd dimension, we have physically and mental existences. This is pointed out in Genesis 2:7 (the spirit, soul and physical). The spirit is the energy/animated essences of life, which was created by God and is returned to God. The soul is the free energy essences, which develops over a life time. The soul is the valuable unit sought after in the underworld or 4th dimension. This is where the spirit returns to the divine: as the soul is left to fend for its self. While in the 4th dimension, the soul is used by demonic entities through contract soul slavery. This demoic entity is named, No Mass (seeming it has no physical mass). No mass appear as invisible entities. There seems to be an electric silver strand that outlines the parameter of a figure, similar to a human. The silver strand is pure electricity. The No Mass float in a rapid order and there entire structure transmit waves of total thought. They can stand beside you and receive your entire life history in an instance. Knowing your weakest points and your total universal effort.

There is an area within the 4th dimension, in the underworld, that resembles Hollywood. This area is called Teusia. Teusia is the largest purchaser of contracted souls. And uses the souls for workers in an industry portrait of life as perceived in the 3rd dimension. Teusia is the soul receipting area of the underworld. It is where all souls arrive from the 3rd dimension. The population of Teusia exist of newly arrived souls, children of the stream (Ilts), Angels Zareasar , Saints of divine discourse and No Mass entities. The new souls that arrived every hour of every day, represented about 60% of Teusia’s population. These souls were in transitioned into the 5th dimension. 30% of Teusia remained in the underworld: while 10% die somewhere in the process, and their souls descended to hell.
No Mass’s goal is to drive a person insane, in an effort to obtain ownership of their soul. Once ownership is obtain, No Mass take the packaged souls, onto the 4th dimension world, where they are sold at auctions. The usual purchaser of these packaged souls, are the underworlds malicious leaders. It’s an odd arrangement in Teusia, although all is under the umbrella of the divine law of nature. A settled evilness exist. This existence is partly due to the need for evil to have some victory. On earth in the 3rd dimension, good prevails. However in Teusia, bad prevails: but only under certain circumstance.

For example Falcon Benign, a vindictive monster who enjoys his job producing the enactments of 3rd dimension humans into 4th dimension movies. Falcon owns Falcon Productions. Falcon is a top member of the No Mass clan. It is his job to assist in the visual production of a human’s life. On earth the 3rd dimension is divided into 50 life spans. Upon the 50th life span, the soul of that human usually moves forward with in the cosmic order of divinity. That is it moves into the 5th dimension. But if the soul is plagued with menacing ways for a majority of its 50 year total life existence. It is adjudicated by cosmic order and avoids descending into hell, by adult rebirth into the 4th dimension. However if No Mass is successful at contracting the soul, before 50th life ends, then the soul avoids the natural acesnsion into the 4th dimension, and becomes a contracted soul. 80% of human souls ascend naturally. That is, reach their 50th life, and during the 3/4 quarter mark, No Mass enters with Falcon Productions.

It is during the ¾ quarter of the 50th life, when No Mass enters the human’s life. They enter as an internal voice of deceit and decree. They utilize V2K (Voice to Skull communication) technology. V2K is a tool which sends frequency voice sound waves to the brain. The waves are received and cogitated. The voices reflect the logistical advantage audio/vocal radio frequencies. These are the vocal tones by which each individual is most familiar with, thus most easily influencing tool. Thus at first the voices in one’s head, might be a loving family member or a dear friend. Later the true identity of the voice master is revealed as one becomes more comfortable with what’s going on. Their intent is to prepare the human for their final ¼ of life, before death. Falcon’s job is to record highlights of that final ¼ of life: then produce it into a motion picture. These life movies are the rage in Teusia and are used to introduce the coming of new souls. The shows are released daily, and thus each souls enjoy one hour of fame in Teusia before they actually arrive.

Regardless if a soul enters Teusia as a contracted slave or naturally. Their purpose is the same. They must resolve all the issues which brought them to the 4th dimension in the first place. These issues are detailed in the life biography produced by Falcon Productions and No Mass, but are irrelevant to the No Mass community of Teusia. Teusians find the life portrayals humorous in nature. All aspects of life on earth are opposite in underworld. Thus murder and violence are considered artistic endeavors, highly desired and admired. Mal sexual morality is considered top comedy, and tragedy is considered top rate comedy. A person who lived a destructive, un-moral life on earth is bound to be a hero in Teusia. But it is these very characteristic by which they person must blindly resolve.

Image result for space balance

The topic is the universe and it's cosmic alignment. The affect of this alignment upon us on earth is something that is enriching and should be taken into thought and action. EQUILIBRIUM is the body as it balances to ultimate phase of functioning and relaxation. It is during the moment of total equilibrium that an individual is able to full utilize their body (physical), their mind (spiritual) and interact within the environment with ease. This even includes syncing frequencies with others forms of life upon earth as detailed by Daniel Fels. The total concept of energy that is balance is the healthier assumption, by which growth and expansion can occur. Also included with the thought of equilibrium is the ability to defy physics as in quantum physical realities. Such realities as diffusion by which an exchange of matter enables a person to walk on water.

 The Power of Alignment



“It takes a while to show yourself- because, words don´t teach – of the leverage of the power of the Universe, from ALIGNMENT.
It takes a little while.
It takes a little while, to stop trying.
Because all of you can apply action, and you can apply words,
and you can gather together in force, and you can cause construction or destruction – In other words, you can make a lot happen with action.
But compared to the creation that happens, when you get in sync with this energy that creates worlds – those are paltry and not usually very satisfying or longlasting creations.”
Abraham Hicks

...and today, as with yesterday, I LAUGHED with myself in the delight of God's beautiful nature CREATION!...Knowing that at any time, ALL of US are only 7 Seconds away...and not until that 7 seconds, nothing of our human creation (besides LOVE) matters! We Are Not Maneuvering (De Nous ne Faire pas )!  Me, De Mon Faire, until I realized, I'm not Maneuvering (De Mon ne faire pas)! It's time to think about UNIVERSAL LOVE (Love that God from the creation of the Universe, has rooted in all of his creation)! Also considering this is the Age of Aquarius we can't tolerate not to consider the opposite side of negative emotions: We can not continue to blame the victim of sorts, when it takes all of us, in every single day to day interaction! No one is acting alone or doing anything alone. Thus all are just as guilty or not guilty!

The following song is by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry and was released in 1994. It is Chi-Espirt, as it seeks to remove the differences of what it is that we don't do-regarding LOVE. And point out that which we lack to consider in our own "Des Faires" the future, each and every child that's born!

LYRIC:
Don't see me from a distance, don't look at my smile
And think that I don't know what's under and behind me
I don't want you to look at me and think
What's in you is in me, what's in me is to help them
LOVE....
Roughneck and rudeness,
We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle is not over
Even when it's won!
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in
(CHORUS)
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting,
I'll be waiting
I assume the reasons that push us to change
I would like that they forget about their color,
so that they can have hope
Too many views on race that make them desperate
I like the doors wide open
So that friends can talk about their pain and their joy
Then we can give them information, that will bring us all together
(CHORUS)
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting,
I'll be waiting
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone of the skin he's living in
And there's a million voices!
And there's a million voices!
To tell you what she should be thinking!
So you better sober up for just a second!
Seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

THE AGE OF AQUARIUS
 The Age of Aquarius refers to, every 2,150 years, the sun's position at the time of the March, or vernal, equinox moves in front of a new Zodiac constellation. The Age of Aquarius begins when the March equinox point moves out of the constellation Pisces and into the constellation Aquarius. The beginning of the Age of Aquarius is based upon IAU constellation boundaries, which astrologers or New Age practitioners might or might not choose to use in their computations. Nevertheless, the world computations are based upon, The International Astronomical Union (IAU) which began it's duty of defining all things astronomical in 1930.

For the purpose of Chiespirt, I will assume like most Astrologist that the Age of Aquarius actually began in 2012. That’s because they believe the star Regulus in the constellation Leo the Lion, marked the ancient border between the constellations Leo and Cancer. This star moved to within 30o of the September equinox point in 2012, meaning that Regulus left the sign Leo to enter the sign Virgo in that year. Presuming equal-sized constellations in antiquity, that places the border of the constellations Pisces and Aquarius at 150o west of Regulus, or at the March equinox point. By this reckoning, the Age of Aquarius started in 2012.


From 0 A.D. to the present we have been in the Age of Pisces. Pisces values are being wiped out, causing unprecedented change and upheaval in our lifetime. And we're not done yet. The Piscean values of money, power and control are being replaced. Today with the growth of BITCOINS and a shift to a Service Economy, the change from a materialistic collective people to innovative co-assisting people is occurring. This change is also seen in Abraham Maslow's work, which details the accomplishment of the physiological level of existence in the United States. We have accomplished all but one of Maslow's variables and that is housing. It is no surprise that across the nation, housing and homeless is becoming a huger issue of social non-equality and improvised standard of living.  Read: #4 Maslow Theorem, which details Maslow's Coping Mechanism Society of today as we shift to a Expressive Mechanism Society, marked by societal co-assisting each other to a higher quality of physical living and spiritual living. http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2015/08/maslow-theorem-great-society-poverty-in.html

The Aquarian Age will be dominated by networks, and information. The key phrase for this age is “Be to be.” The key to the astrological sign Aquarius is “I know.” This is the age of information. Nothing is secret anymore. All information is available at your fingertips. Where the Piscean age was organized in a vertical, up and down structure of hierarchies, the Aquarian Age is organized in a horizontal network, opening the world up to true equality.  Chiespirt represents the conscious awareness of the universe creator (GOD) and his creation of all things on earth and within the universe. The more people become consciously aware of CHIESPIRT, the more we will embrace the Aquarian shift, the easier this transformation will go for humanity. It is a spiritual truth that a small percentage of people who have shifted their consciousness can influence the rest of humanity. If you are reading this, then you are most likely one of these pioneers. Find a way to spread your light: teach, heal, create community networks, serve, sacrifice, love. Welcome to the Aquarian Age!

In Sarah Davidson's work,  'It's Happening: The Global Shift in Consciousness Is Underway and Right on (Mayan) Time', she details events that have changed us as individuals and as a society.

It’s undeniable, impossible to describe and whatever it is, it’s manifesting into an intense and palpable energy, crossing all boundaries and all sectors and affecting everyone on every level.
It’s the uncertainty. It’s the cliffs. It’s the freaking apocalypse. It’s the shootings — my GOD, the shootings. It’s the desire for something different, the fundamental recognition that things need to change, and it’s the nervous excitement suddenly present because we know they just might. The world is “at a critical juncture in human history,” according to the recently released National Intelligence Council’s Global Trends Report, and tomorrow — Friday, December 21st, 2012 — just so happens to be the day the Mayans predicted would be the end of the world as we know it; a global shift in consciousness. 

Today we are facing unprecedented tragedies and challenges both in the United States and around the world. These are coupled with the past year of “century” weather patterns, and topped off by the sluggish global recovery from the most interconnected economic downturn our planet has ever known. 

All of these are indicators that things are not alright.
At the very least, things are shifting. According to geologists and economists alike, we’ve entered the Anthropocene — the age of man — which follows the relatively stable Holocene period. According to a report released by the Smithsonian in October, 2012:

A consensus has been reached that the tremendous scope of transformations now occurring on the Earth, with profound effects on plants, animals, and natural habitats, is primarily the result of human activities.... On a geological scale the planet has entered a new era. Natural processes that control the functioning of the planet have been interrupted, refashioned, or accelerated over the last thousand years by human civilization. No longer can nature be studied or understood in isolation from the human world.
This is the first time that human beings have lived in a world that we have created through human activity. Our growing population and subsequent demand for natural resources has caused us to extract to the extreme and to unintentionally impact the world around us to such a severe degree that we have formed our own climate, one that produces less snow and more Sandys, one that exposes our vulnerabilities in the face of extreme weather, and one that calls us to question whether or not we are safe in our current surroundings. It’s not just the weather, either. We’ve also created a world where we are seemingly more interconnected than we have ever been, yet we have lost our ability to really connect; we’re terrified of each other.

So here we are, today, facing these global challenges as a divided species. But these challenges are not insurmountable and now, the day before the alleged end it all, it is time for us to charter a new course and recognize that we can take these challenges on as one unified group...

 EMOTIONS:

Emotions are the feelings we express as we interact with ourselves (reflective thoughts), others and the environment. They are derived from the state of mind, by which circumstances, mood, temperament, personality and relationship toggle associated stimuli and natural hormones. There is also an instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge that comprises our emotions. Cognition provides the basis by which emotions in some aspect are mentally processed. For example:  One may have the realization that makes them believe,  they are in a dangerous situation and the subsequent arousal of their body's nervous system responds by -rapid heartbeat and breathing, sweating, muscle tension-. All of this is integral to the experience of our feeling afraid.

 Emotions are complex. According to some theories, they are states of feeling that result in physical and psychological changes that influence our behavior. The physiological of emotion is closely linked to arousal of the nervous system with various states and strengths of arousal relating to emotions.  Emotion is also linked to behavioral tendency. Extroverted people are more likely to be social and express their emotions, while introverted people are more likely to be more socially withdrawn and conceal their emotions. Emotion is often the driving force behind motivation, positive or negative. Emotions involve different components, such as subjective experience, cognitive processes, expressive behavior, psycho-physiological changes, and instrumental behavior.  Overall, emotions can be defined as a positive or negative experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity.  Emotions produce different physiological, behavioral and cognitive changes. The original role of emotions was to motivate adaptive behaviors that in the past would have contributed to the survival of humans. Emotions are responses to significant internal and external events.

The following work is by Aristole, and beings a Chi-Espirt focus on emotions.


Aristotle: Theory of Emotions

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/emotions-17th18th/LD1Background.html

Aristotle's preferred term for the emotions was pathos [pl. pathe], which makes the emotions largely passive states, located within a general metaphysical landscape contrasting active and passive, form and matter, and actuality and potentiality. The pathe are first and foremost responses found in the embodied animal to the outside world, very much like perceptions. They can thus be associated broadly with matter insofar as they represent capacities or potentialities that need to be actualized by external causes, which also explains how they are directed at objects. Of course, the pathe are not pure potentialities. They are actualized in the experience of an occurrent emotion, and even the mere capacity to experience pathe requires a determinate form, a soul. Moreover, the pathe have close connections to action, and Aristotle treated them as movements of a sort. For all these reasons, the pathe can be attributed to the soul insofar as the soul informs a body. Yet since their causes lie outside of the animal who experiences them, the question arises whether and to what extent we can control them.
That is a question addressed in several different ways by the most important Aristotelean texts on the pathe available to later ancient and medieval authors: the Nicomachean Ethics and Rhetoric. Each work presents lists of emotions, although where the Nichomachean Ethics serves up 11, the Rhetoric dishes out a full 14. They differ too in their aims and tenor: the Nichomachean Ethics is concerned with the place of the pathe within the economy of acting according to our habits and desires as moderated by reason, whereas the Rhetoric concerns the arousal and management of pathe in the context of producing persuasion. In both cases, however, the pathe are treated as susceptible to rational influence and voluntary action, although not directly subject to choice.

The Nichomachean Ethics characterizes pathe as the “feelings accompanied by pleasure or pain,” listing appetite, anger, fear, confidence, envy, joy, love, hatred, longing, emulation, and pity as examples (1105b21). Nonetheless, it will be easiest, as well as consistent with the bulk of Aristotle's analyses, to treat pathos as more or less equivalent to desire, or appetite in the broad sense. (The Rhetoric makes the identification explicit, e.g., at 1378a31. But just to keep things interesting, De Anima, treats the pathe, along with “desire” and “wish,” as a species of appetite at 414b3). The pathe form one of the three main categories found in the soul, distinguished from faculties, on the one hand, and states [hexeis], on the other. They are, however, very closely associated with the latter. States constitute the virtues [arete] or vices of the non-rational part of the soul, which can, however, either conform to or violate right reason. They do so through their connections with actions. The pathe, along with the appetites, motivate action (even to the point of provoking bodily changes such as internal temperature, color and expression). The dispositions to feel them in certain ways are, in turn, shaped by our habits of action, and states may be understood as the dispositions to feel particular kinds of pathe on certain occasions. States are, in fact, “the things in virtue of which we stand well or badly with reference to the passions [pathe]” (1105b26).

The pathe are not themselves virtues or vices. But states are, and that means that the pathe are morally significant. More generally, because emotional experience is intrinsic to any life, any account of the good life must give them their due. Now, certain pathe (spite, envy) are always bad. But despite characterizing the human good as a life exercising “activity of the soul in conformity with excellence [or virtue]” (1098a16), and despite counting reason (but not feeling pathe) as a distinctively human activity, Aristotle took the excellence of the excellent human to consist partly in experiencing pathe in the right way, to the right extent, and on the right occasions. Indeed, the cultivation of character is largely a matter of cultivating the disposition for appropriate experience of the pathe, which is as important as developing our abilities for deliberative reason. The appropriate emotional dispositions may, in fact, be even more crucial to the good life, since our capacity to feel the passions seems intrinsic, while our ability to reason develops with maturity and can be crucially affected by our emotional dispositions. In any case, the truly excellent person will not only reason well about what to do in particular situations, but will feel the appropriate desires and pathe in those situations. For this reason, the intellectual virtue for deliberating about what to do, phronesis, is distinguished from the other practical intellectual virtues of techne in part by its involvement with pathe.


This comfortable relation between the emotions and reason, however, hits some snags when Aristotle turned to the distinctive ways in which we can fail to act well. For example, the akratic, or weak-willed person, recognizes what should be done without actually doing it. Aristotle's solution to this puzzling, if common, phenomenon, was to lay the blame at the feet of some pathos, particularly the pathe of either anger or pleasure. Here these pathe might seem to oppose reason. Aristotle, however, appears to have thought of them more as exercising a cognitive interference that disrupts our completion of the practical syllogism than as an external force overturning our otherwise smoothly operating reason. (For this reason, the pathe seem to have cognitive aspects themselves; see Kraut 2005). In contrast, the enkratic person feels the same disruptive pathos, but does not give way to them in action. The enkratic is thus superior to the akratic, but still not as admirable as the person who feels the pathe as the virtuous person would, that is, in accord with the dictates of right reason. So Aristotle's ethical works treat the pathe both as susceptible to reason and as integral to the good life, even as they allow that the emotions can impair our reason.

The risk of emotional disruption of our reason and the management of the emotions are topics explored much further in the Rhetoric. That Aristotle would even consider the topic is noteworthy, for it suggests that techniques for producing belief, among which appeals to emotion are prominent, need not be relegated to sophistry, but make a proper subject for philosophy. Things seem a bit less rosy, however, when we turn to the three distinct sources of persuasion Aristotle admitted: trust in the character of the speaker, the passions of the audience, and the “proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech [logos] itself” (1356a4). The first and last seem sources that are themselves reasons – either reasons for holding it probable that the speaker's conclusions are true, or reasons for the conclusion itself. But arousing the audience's passions seems another matter altogether. Indeed, Aristotle here characterized the pathe as “all those feelings that so change men as to affect their judgments, and that are also attended by pain and pleasure” (1378a21), for which he produces the example of anger, exactly the interfering pathos held responsible for any cases of akrasia. But despite the acknowledged risk that the pathe can be used for sophistic ends, warping our beliefs and decisions and producing commitments on indefensible grounds, Aristotle did not hold that all emotional appeals must do so. The problem with sophistic rhetoric is that it makes its emotional pitch in ways independent of the subject under discussion, perhaps even distracting from the subject at hand (e.g., by invoking anger at Al Qaeda, while considering the merits of invading Iraq).
 Presumably, however, a particular subject may have characteristics that themselves provoke certain emotions, indeed that should provoke certain emotions, and appropriate rhetoric will highlight those features without ever leaving the subject at hand. In this respect, the arousing of emotions might even count as a kind of salience argument for the beliefs so produced (e.g., anger at particular outrageous events can serve as a reason for believing that a politician should be impeached).

More generally, the pathe pervade our lives; our judgments are always affected by our emotions and moods, not just in perverse and pernicious cases. In this respect, any rhetorician attempting to produce belief must take account of the emotional state of her audience. This is true whatever her motives might be. Aristotle considered the true to be inherently, but not overridingly persuasive, and so even the rhetorician most sincerely devoted to the truth will need to consider how to manage the emotions of her audience so that it will be amenable to belief in truth. Doing so will require not only some assessment of the character of the audience, but also a great deal of insight into the nature and causes of the pathe, and Aristotle devoted a great deal of Book II of the Rhetoric to a kind of taxonomy and physiognomy of the emotions (thereby inaugurating what was to become a popular sport). Aristotle's list is copious, listing some 14 passions. Each receives an analysis of its causes (qualities) and objects (persons) – which together provide a complex intentional content for the emotion. Aristotle also described the mental conditions under which a pathos is felt, that is the relations between the person feeling it and that which provides its content. But it is an odd list, comprising anger, calm, friendship, enmity, fear, confidence, shame, shamelessness, kindness, unkindness, pity, indignation, envy, and emulation.

Presumably, Aristotle thought that these were the pathe most likely to be of use to the rhetorician (even if he ought not raise envy or shamelessness in his audience), but there seems little other rhyme or reason to the selection, and no reason to think that it is comprehensive (especially since it excludes pathe enumerated in the Nicomachean Ethics). One notable organizing feature is Aristotle's assumption that the pathe fall into contrasting pairs, although it may be a bit of a stretch to see the contrast between, e.g., envy and emulation, or to take certain candidates, e.g., calm, as a full-fledged pathe. Also interesting is Aristotle's discussion of how the general psychology of the emotions will map onto different types of character, ages, and fortunes, again a topic he might have considered particularly useful for the rhetorician.

So Aristotle's assessment of the pathe is mixed: they can be cultivated by reason and figure in the good life; they can also disrupt our reason and action, and be used for nefarious ends. Indeed, by rendering our judgments unstable and prone to conflict, the emotions may pose a basic threat to human social life. But whether happy or dangerous, Aristotle certainly thought that the emotions are a fixture of human life that cannot be ignored. Ethics cultivates them in developing character; rhetoric manages them to produce belief. To these techniques, we might also add the psychological discipline accomplished by poetry, particularly tragedy. The notion of katharsis, or “discharge” of the unpleasant emotions of pity and fear may be the most famous part of Aristotle's Poetics, although the text mentions it only in passing. It did not, in fact, have much influence on literature and aesthetic theory through the seventeenth century (although the Poetics was an important model in other respects, especially for considering how emotional responses could be directed at different kinds of characters). However, starting in the eighteenth century, the notion of katharsis gained ground, particularly since it addressed a question of enormous importance to 18th century aesthetics, namely how something like tragedy, which would seem to revolve around situations invoking unpleasant emotions, can nonetheless be enjoyable. The notion of katharsis at least hints at the complex and multivalent emotional states that would be further analyzed by later theorists such as Hume.

ENERGY COMMUNICATION AND INFLUENCE by: Paul Goree ASU Social Welfare 1/19/2013
ENERGY COMMUNICATION AND INFLUENCE
Paul Goree ASU SOCIAL WELFARE, PHOENIX AZ 1/19/2013


(This was written as a factor of manipulation by Stephen Price to demean me and create a thought of a writing contest. In the contest you must detail you knowledge of a subject and it must be in it's entirety. The subject must represent something you are concerned about. You can not use the internet or notes to develop the essay. You must reference all data correctly and can not use the internet or note to find references. You must complete the essay first and you can not save it on your device, internet or external device (usb, sd card). I wrote this essay, following all of his rules and posted on the ASU Blackboard, which is where student post their homework and assigned essays. The next week at ASU, if one student informed the instructor that she could not post her assignment early. The instructor informed us, that the Black Board has been locked down. Someone posted something on it and now for the rest of the semester, the Social Welfare Department will be doing things manually. But that's o.k. seeming that class is the APA Writing assignment requirement, thus we get a benefit by doing the APA paper manually-like they use to do in the past.).

Daniel Fels caught my attention, when I read in Scientific American’s June 2009 issue. What was so interesting was his research on the communication that occurs between cells PARAMECIUM CAUDATUM. Placed individual test tubes, the cells were able to exchange some energy by which they altered the “feeding behavior and growth.” This is interesting because it suggest that behavior can be influenced by factors other than sensory stimuli. When I first read this, I immediately thought of Carl Jung and sub-conscious mind. Jung sub-conscious mind was a parasympathetic system by which some body functions are automate, and others are related to memory, intuition and mystic occurrences.

The conscious mind is a cognitive system, by which stimuli is received through the sensory receptors. These stimuli with cognition determine our ability to identify the environment we live in, thus constructing our social reality (Berkeley University 2010). How we perceive the world by which we live in, is determined by our ability to full inter-grate societal behavior. This cognitive system is fueled by potential action, creating a synaptic response. A synaptic response is instruction from the brain and nervous system on how to maneuver. Action potential is the accumulated energy needed to start a connection, resulting in movement (Gorman JM, Kent JM, Sullivan GM, Coplan JD,2000). Thus behavior is a result of individual and collective perception.

The sub-conscious mind operates on similar but different foundation. The sub-conscious mind is in continuous operation. Whereas the conscious mind has sleep to refresh and rest. The conscious mind is 24/7 (Soren R. Ekstrom, Watertown, MA 2000). The sub-conscious mind is the source of intution. Such things as hunches, deja vu, GUMPTIONS are a factor of a process which may not be fully cognitive (Gorman JM, Kent JM, Sullivan GM, Coplan JD,2000). Jung believed that the sub-conscious mind in its defense, against the cognitive actions of the conscious mind, creates a entity, he termed “SHADOW” (Soren R. Ekstrom,Watertown, MA 2000). I believe that Jungs “Shadow” is similar in communicating, like Daniel Fels, electro-magnetic energy. “Returning to the research which was the basis for his earlier book, The Emotional Brain (1998), LeDoux describes how emotional states monopolize brain… The brain has a number of emotional systems—detecting and defending against threat…” (Gorman JM, Kent JM, Sullivan GM, Coplan JD,2000).

For Jung, that “monopolized emotional state, defending against threat”, is the “Shadow”. The “Shadow” protects the sub-conscious mind, yet is not a fully cognitive, thus able to stream stimuli without the social constructed reality filter: otherwise termed “norm” in behavior. Have you ever had a hunch that the telephone was going to ring, and at the same time recall a sudden thought of your mother. Well that hunch is the sub-conscious mind at work (Gorman JM, Kent JM, Sullivan GM, Coplan JD,2000). Considering Jungs “Shadow”, Fels “Electro-magnetic communication, I think that this “energy” source is a means of communicating that exist without cognitive processing. This energy is fluid in nature in that it is not block, and thus can spark intution and mystical thoughts, which if processed by the cognitive mind, would be denied as possible or not confirmed consciousness. I am think about individual operating in the sub-conscious mind thus influence behavior, through a similar mechanism founded by Fels.

When I am in a good mood, simply by standing by another individual I can transfer that energy. That energy is a frequency (Doc Childre ). That frequency is able to operate outside the realm of the brain. I look to Dr. Hank Wesselman, who explains the journey of a Shaman, by which the “spirit” takes Shamanistic journey into the non-conscious reality (Wesselman, 2000). The energy by which the a shaman harvest is similar in action of Fels electro-magnetic energy. Wesselman suggests that the shaman spirit, while in the non-conscious reality is able to receive resourceful energy by which when returned to the conscious reality, is able to assist in healing, empowering and altering states of minds of individuals. This energy is also capable of forserting energy of loved ones that may have passed on.

Sandra Engleman who worked with Wessleman, stated She points to the Azuni tribes of new Mexico that vanished suddenly all at once (rapture). She believes that they didn’t vanish, they evolved to a higher state of existence and presently still live where they did in the past, just in a different dimension than we do, so we are unable to feel them, but their energy can be felt alive. She this is what will happen to us: some of us will evolve out of out physical existence into a new dimension..” (2012).

With this I believe that we are able to utilize our sub-conscious mind in a more influential matter. By which social ills can be resolved. It is stated by many, that you get the life that you perceive. Your perception is energy, resulting into behavior. If you think happy, you will be happy. If you think sad, you will be sad. This is also found in the work of Dr. Albert Ellis. Ellis, determined that some psychosis are self created. (Ellis). I think that if some self created psychosis individuals are able to influence other, in a peer-pressure manner.

That negative behavior is the SHADOW in action. The shadow unable to deal with the conscious cognitive processing, reaches out into the reality affecting those near. Just like the cells of Fels individual test tubes. Another factor to consider is Dr. Weilheim Reich. Reich was the creator of “orgone” energy, which was able to fully remove negative energy from the environment, thus healing various elements of an illness or mental state of mind.(Reich, 1932). Reich developed the “Orgone Box” where he placed individual to remove the negative energy. It is believe that this energy is able to influence others by changing the energy level within the environment. Acting similar to Fels electro-magnetic energy.
 
I believe and am interested in exploring the possible benefits of energy communication,by mean so electro-magnetic energy and sub-conscious energy, within the social service field. Developing means by which negative factors of social development can be altered resulting in empowered individuals, who exchange energy, instead of WORDS to communicate. Wayne Dyer states that, ‘every time you see someone do an act of kindness, your seratonin level increase and so does that person, also those who witness it.” That is electro-magnetic energy exchange influence, as detailed by Fels.). Other theorist that suggest this energy exchange is Dr. Emoto, Joe Rogan, Sandra Eckelman, Rollin McCarthy, Carl Jung (sychronicity).

Today Posted: 12/29/2017



Rituals are specific courses of actions, done by social collectives. The rituals extend from the root of the society and represent the terms of the constructed reality as lived. The principles, moral, beliefs, virtues and expectations placed upon each individual within the collective. Rituals include collective behavior that is utilized in religious worship, rites of passages, community development/witch doctor, and sacraments. As with Christian Sacraments, rituals involve a physical activity within the environment, which is observable. Sacraments signify God's grace in a way that is outwardly observable to the participant. That grace of God is defined differently in different cultures around the world. The grace of God, being the blessing by which we are in existence-becomes more interesting as we observe it from different cultural lenses. All of the variation have basic core elements. One being the need for humans to interact with the spiritual realm of the divine/universe. The way this is done in all cultures is through rituals, where by repetitive drums beats, creating waves of sound cause a hypnotic state of consciousness, by which the spiritual realm can be contacted. There is always some type of olfactory natural to the earth. Many indigenous cultures use sage, lavender, or cedar to create a olfactory pleasant offering to the energies of the universe. There is usually a verbal hum, that is accompanied by a physical dance/body movement, that corresponds to the drum beats. All of these practices provide a way for the human to interact with the spiritual realm.

Also included as rituals are prays, in psychology it is the used in a technical sense for a repetitive behavior systematically used by a person to neutralize or prevent anxiety; it is a symptom of  obsessive-compulsive disorder. There are praise rituals for the human living experience such as the Swahili 'matunda ya kwanza' - first fruit of the harvest. Which evolved into African Americans celebration of Kwanzaa.  Another harvest ritual is the Native Americans description of a "Strawberry Moon" which becomes a Farmer’s Almanac to agriculture.

The following is a ritual of the Kiowa Indians, and explains the metaphysical powers of various animals on the planet as they interact with humans and the environment. It details how the powers of these animals can be utilized by humans and like wise for them. This is another great way of detailing the dynamics of CHI as it is the order by which God has created the world. And all living things upon it can share the energy for growth.


KIOWA BELIEF AND RITUALS

(page: 79-80)
Kiowa country is home to venomous rattlesnakes, water moccasins, copperheads, spiders, and scorpions. Snakes allegedly have power because they are without friends. Those possessing snake or spider power typically doctored snake, spider, and scorpion bites. Hunting Horse, Haumpy, Lone Bear and Mary Buffalo remembered that in earlier times three women and three men practiced Snake medicine, including Kiowa Charley’s father, Tonsatoma (Heating Tallow), who used the sucking method to remove venom and sometimes snake fangs from snake-bitten victims.
Bagyanoi told the story of how Heating Tallow once treated Red Otter, who had stepped on a rattlesnake skeleton while barefooted during a fast on Hunting Horse Hill, east Mt. Sheridan. Within a day, Red Otter could not walk due to paralysis in his legs, so he was taken to Heating Tallow, who recommended fasting in the Wichita Mountains because his condition was incurable.

Taken back into the mountains by horseback, Red Otter lay on a bed of sage for four days and nights, smoking and praying to the spirit world. Snakes appeared in a vision during the second night, informing him that the “sickness you have is very hard to cure, because the snake which harmed you was dead.” On the third day, an enormous thunder cloud passed through the area, pelting Red Otter with rain and hail and pipping at his bison robe. Weak and dehydrated by the fourth day, Red Otter was surrounded by snakes and lizards that scurried away when a large, two headed snake –like bird twenty times larger than any bird he had ever seen swooped down and grabbed his legs with its talons.

Red Otter felt something icy cold withdrawing from his legs and a voice saying –“now you’re already cured.” Horned toads and lizards are associated with certain powers that Jim Ahtone and Haumpy could not specify, though Sankadota claimed that in his youth he once sat under a tree when a “green lizard with black stripes” said to him  “You are a poor boy. I will take on you. “ This spirit represented by the lizard became his special proctector.

When we can step into our power and step outside of blame, then we become truly free. To take this idea further, Patchman explains how we co-create a collective Earth experience together, and how we can use this creation to bring harmony back to Earth. It is a choice to allow negative energies to bring you down and stay in that state, instead of understanding it as a lesson to learn from. Our thoughts are perspectives of our experiences, by creating positive thoughts within ourselves for everyone around us, our past, and ourselves we begin to create more positive experiences in everything around us!

This video is perfect to start with if you are just beginning your spiritual journey. It’s important to understand these fundamental concepts before jumping into topics of something like lucid dreaming or how energy works – because this video is about you and your personal experience.

Towards the end, the video covers the incredible research of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who has shown how thoughts affect water on a molecular scale.

JUPITER IN THE WOMB
BY: Paul Goree 2016  LACA




I feel I can breath –Exhale, the carbon of confusion
Early, early, early this morning I greeted the rising sun
And I felt blessed again, yes I know I’m LOVED
Yet that short lived glory in my mind, went as it came
Knowing the fact remains – It’s another day to be…
(another day to be, another day)

CHORUS:
How did Jupiter
Get into the womb?
See- was it right or lies?
How we’d come unglued?
Tell me how did Jupiter
Get into the womb?

Are some still playing games?
Is the Phoenix way, so true, it turned BLUE…?
How did Jupiter
Get into the womb?

I’m still feeling the same pain
Feeling the same joys….
So how did Jupiter
Get into the womb?

Is he DEAD or ALIVE?
(He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead in the background)
(He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead in the foreground)
Yet I always thought LIFE, is for the living, yes the living
So how can it be
That Jupiter got into the womb?


My soul, my soul to Jah I know it home and where it belongs
It was that breath of life, which made me a LIVING THING
(Not man!)
And all these facts we share, we share them all the same
I’m still in awe that it just can’t be explain…
IT’s  UNCONDITIONAL, UNCONDITIONAL, UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE, love, love, love…
Love is unbounded, spinning the universe…
It’s all that JAH/GOD knows, GOD LOVE, GOD AND JAH all in one
So as I walk this earth, knowing that I carried (so carried and loved)
Every bump that I stumble, every person misleading-becomes…
Becomes part of the LOVING again…
And still I am in AWE, of the total connection I’m feeling in my soul
And yet the ear that I have, from the words other say, just don’t do much good.

I pray that there are no lies… Only love, only peace on CHI in the world for everyone to praise- PRAISE JAH!

Food is derived from nature. It is from God's creation of the earth, that the forces of nature exist and by which we are blessed with the best essential elements of development-seeming we to are from the same creator.  In our modern world it is so great to come across great companies like GT'S Living Foods. Their story is one of total ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and APPRECIATION  to our creator and this beautiful planet he created. They effort on earth is one of love as they express in their creation of drinks and foods which are living. Below is the story of GT'S Living Food. They are very CHI-ESPIRIT! 
http://www.gtslivingfoods.com/our-story/ 
Humble Gift
We started making our Kombucha based on the belief that it could touch people’s lives and make the world a better place. From our family to yours, we are honored and humbled to share this gift with you.  Peace & blessings.


For GT Dave, unconventional foods have always been a mainstay in the family kitchen. Raised a vegetarian and instilled with Eastern philosophy, GT adopted a spiritual view of the world from a very young age. He recognized, early on, the importance of honoring and respecting all living things.
GT’s parents, Laraine and Michael, had an affinity for “funky” foods, always curious to explore and uncover the many unique offerings brought forth by Mother Earth. That was how, quite organically, Kombucha made its way into their home.

In early 1993, a Himalayan Mother SCOBY, handed off by a Buddhist nun, was gifted to Michael from a family friend. Intrigued by Kombucha’s ancient healing properties, the Daves used this living probiotic culture to brew their own homemade batches of the fizzy, fermented tea.
In late 1994, Laraine was diagnosed with a highly aggressive form of breast cancer. Doctors estimated the tumor had been in her body for about four years, and that it had likely already metastasized and spread to other parts of the body – specifically her bones – giving her less than a year to live. When the results of her lumpectomy came back, everyone was joyfully surprised to learn that the tumor was precancerous, and the cancer itself was dormant. With curiosity, doctors asked Laraine if she had been doing anything differently in the last four years. She explained that she was a long-time vegetarian, but for about the last two years she had been drinking this very pungent, homemade tea, which she believed to be quite healthy and, simply put, just made her feel great.
Inspired by his mom’s story, GT wanted to share Kombucha in its truest, most natural state, so that everyone, everywhere, could potentially reap the same healing benefits. As friends and family members unsuccessfully tried to craft their own Kombucha, it became GT’s mission to bottle his brew, making it easily accessible for all people in a ready-to-drink form.

So, in 1995, at the tender age of 15, GT Dave began bottling his Kombucha in the kitchen of his parents’ Southern California home. He had no business plan, just a personal passion and an earnest desire to share his handcrafted gift with the world. Over 22 years later, GT’s Kombucha has stayed true to the sacred brewing process of this ancient elixir. Using heirloom cultures from that Himalayan Mother SCOBY, we handcraft our Kombucha in the same size small batches that GT brewed back in his family kitchen, with lots of love, just as nature intended. To this day, our founder is still very hands-on, continuing to sample every single batch before it’s bottled. With a commitment to the integrity of the ingredients, as well as the process, GT’s Kombucha has established itself as the best-selling brew on the market.
Now, under the umbrella of GT’s Living Foods, we’ve expanded our product offerings beyond Kombucha, and are proud to say that we remain a family owned and operated company – always cultured, never compromised.

At GT’s Living Foods, we believe that food can be your medicine or your poison. That’s why we’re dedicated to handcrafting products that are 100% raw, organic, and rich with living probiotics. It is our purpose to bring Beautiful Living Things together, helping people live happier, healthier lives.

Titled “Thoughts”, this video explores the way in which we create our reality together, and how our thoughts are the first step into manifesting our experiences. While it might be difficult to come to terms with, you create your reality, you are in the driver’s seat, responsible for your actions and reactions to everything you experience, even when it doesn’t seem like it. When we can step into our power and step outside of blame, then we become truly free. To take this idea further, Patchman explains how we co-create a collective Earth experience together, and how we can use this creation to bring harmony back to Earth. It is a choice to allow negative energies to bring you down and stay in that state, instead of understanding it as a lesson to learn from. Our thoughts are perspectives of our experiences, by creating positive thoughts within ourselves for everyone around us, our past, and ourselves we begin to create more positive experiences in everything around us!

This video is perfect to start with if you are just beginning your spiritual journey. It’s important to understand these fundamental concepts before jumping into topics of something like lucid dreaming or how energy works – because this video is about you and your personal experience.

Towards the end, the video covers the incredible research of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who has shown how thoughts affect water on a molecular scale. Check out the different forms and fractals of the water particles in relation to the thoughts that were projected onto them. If thoughts can do that to water, imagine what thoughts can do to us. Practicing kindness is so much more valuable than we know.
At the end of the day, we believe that you can have, do, or be ANYTHING you want! Why not make life amazing, and live in a way that uplifts those around you? Global change starts when each and every one of us recognize our own inherent creative potential, and step into it fully!

CHAPTER 10

POWER OF THE MASTER MIND

THE DRIVING FORCE
The Ninth Step toward Riches
  By: Napolean Hill


POWER is essential for success in the accumulation of money.
PLANS are inert and useless, without sufficient POWER to translate them into ACTION. This chapter will describe the method by which an individual may attain and apply POWER.
POWER may be defined as "organized and intelligently directed KNOWLEDGE." Power, as the term is here used, refers to ORGANIZED effort, sufficient to enable an individual to transmute DESIRE into its monetary equivalent. ORGANIZED effort is produced through the coordination of effort of two or more people, who work toward a DEFINITE end, in a spirit of harmony.
POWER IS REQUIRED FOR THE ACCUMULATION OF MONEY! POWER IS NECESSARY FOR THE RETENTION OF MONEY AFTER IT HAS BEEN ACCUMULATED!
Let us ascertain how power may be acquired. If power is "organized knowledge," let us examine the sources of knowledge:
a. INFINITE INTELLIGENCE. This source of knowledge may be contacted through the procedure described in another chapter, with the aid of Creative Imagination.

p. 250
b. ACCUMULATED EXPERIENCE. The accumulated experience of man, (or that portion of it which has been organized and recorded), may be found in any well-equipped public library. An important part of this accumulated experience is taught in public schools and colleges, where it has been classified and organized.

c. EXPERIMENT AND RESEARCH. In the field of science, and in practically every other walk of life, men are gathering, classifying, and organizing new facts daily. This is the source to which one must turn when knowledge is not available through "accumulated experience." Here, too, the Creative Imagination must often be used.

Knowledge may be acquired from any of the foregoing sources. It may be converted into POWER by organizing it into definite PLANS and by expressing those plans in terms of ACTION.
Examination of the three major sources of knowledge will readily disclose the difficulty an individual would have, if he depended upon his efforts alone, in assembling knowledge and expressing it through definite plans in terms of ACTION. If his plans are comprehensive, and if they contemplate large proportions, he must, generally, induce others to cooperate with him, before he can inject into them the necessary element of POWER.
GAINING POWER THROUGH THE "MASTER MIND"
The "Master Mind" may be defined as: "Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of

harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose."
No individual may have great power without availing himself of the "Master Mind." In a preceding chapter, instructions were given for the creation of PLANS for the purpose of translating DESIRE into its monetary equivalent. If you carry out these instructions with PERSISTENCE and intelligence, and use discrimination in the selection of your "Master Mind" group, your objective will have been half-way reached, even before you begin to recognize it.

So you may better understand the "intangible" potentialities of power available to you, through a properly chosen "Master Mind" group, we will here explain the two characteristics of the Master Mind principle, one of which is economic in nature, and the other psychic. The economic feature is obvious. Economic advantages may be created by any person who surrounds himself with the advice, counsel, and personal cooperation of a group of men who are willing to lend him wholehearted aid, in a spirit of PERFECT HARMONY. This form of cooperative alliance has been the basis of nearly every great fortune. Your understanding of this great truth may definitely determine your financial status.

The psychic phase of the Master Mind principle is much more abstract, much more difficult to comprehend, because it has reference to the spiritual forces with which the human race, as a whole, is not well acquainted. You may catch a significant suggestion from this statement: "No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third,
invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind." Keep in mind the fact that there are only two known elements in the whole universe, energy and matter. It is a well known fact that matter may be broken down into units of molecules, atoms, and electrons. There are units of matter which may be isolated, separated, and analyzed.
Likewise, there are units of energy.
The human mind is a form of energy, a part of it being spiritual in nature. When the minds of two people are coordinated in a SPIRIT OF HARMONY, the spiritual units of energy of each mind form an affinity, which constitutes the "psychic" phase of the Master Mind.
The Master Mind principle, or rather the economic feature of it, was first called to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, over twenty-five years ago. Discovery of this principle was responsible for the choice of my life's work.
Mr. Carnegie's Master Mind group consisted of a staff of approximately fifty men, with whom he surrounded himself, for the DEFINITE PURPOSE of manufacturing and marketing steel. He attributed his entire fortune to the POWER he accumulated through this "Master Mind."
Analyze the record of any man who has accumulated a great fortune, and many of those who have accumulated modest fortunes, and you will find that they have either consciously, or unconsciously employed the "Master Mind" principle.

GREAT POWER CAN BE ACCUMULATED THROUGH NO OTHER PRINCIPLE!

ENERGY is Nature's universal set of building blocks, out of which she constructs every material thing in the universe, including man, and every form of animal and vegetable life. Through a process which only Nature completely understands, she translates energy into matter.
Nature's building blocks are available to man, in the energy involved in THINKING! Man's brain may be compared to an electric battery. It absorbs energy from the ether, which permeates every atom of matter, and fills the entire universe.
It is a well known fact that a group of electric batteries will provide more energy than a single battery. It is also a well known fact that an individual battery will provide energy in proportion to the number and capacity of the cells it contains.
The brain functions in a similar fashion. This accounts for the fact that some brains are more efficient than others, and leads to this significant statement--a group of brains coordinated (or connected) in a spirit of harmony, will provide more thought-energy than a single brain, just as a group of electric batteries will provide more energy than a single battery.
Through this metaphor it becomes immediately obvious that the Master Mind principle holds the secret of the POWER wielded by men who surround themselves with other men of brains.
There follows, now, another statement which will lead still nearer to an understanding of the psychic phase of the Master Mind principle: When a group of individual brains are coordinated and function in Harmony, the increased energy created through that alliance, becomes available to every individual brain in the group.
 
It is a well known fact that Henry Ford began his business career under the handicap of poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance. It is an equally well known fact that, within the inconceivably short period of ten years, Mr. Ford mastered these three handicaps, and that within twenty-five years he made himself one of the richest men in America. Connect with this fact, the additional knowledge that Mr. Ford's most rapid strides became noticeable, from the time he became a personal friend of Thomas A. Edison, and you will begin to understand what the influence of one mind upon another can accomplish. Go a step farther, and consider the fact that Mr. Ford's most outstanding achievements began from the time that he formed the acquaintances of Harvey Firestone, John Burroughs, and Luther Burbank, (each a man of great brain capacity), and you will have further evidence that POWER may be produced through friendly alliance of minds.

There is little if any doubt that Henry Ford is one of the best informed men in the business and industrial world. The question of his wealth needs no discussion. Analyze Mr. Ford's intimate personal friends, some of whom have already been mentioned, and you will be prepared to understand the following statement:

"Men take on the nature and the habits and the POWER OF THOUGHT of those with whom they associate in a spirit of sympathy and harmony."
Henry Ford whipped poverty, illiteracy, and

ignorance by allying himself with great minds, whose vibrations of thought he absorbed into his own mind. Through his association with Edison, Burbank, Burroughs, and Firestone, Mr. Ford added to his own brain power, the sum and substance of the intelligence, experience, knowledge, and spiritual forces of these four men. Moreover, he appropriated, and made use of the Master Mind principle through the methods of procedure described in this book.
This principle is available to you!
We have already mentioned Mahatma Gandhi. Perhaps the majority of those who have heard of Gandhi, look upon him as merely an eccentric little man, who goes around without formal wearing apparel, and makes trouble for the British Government.
In reality, Gandhi is not eccentric, but HE IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAN NOW LIVING. (Estimated by the number of his followers and their faith in their leader.) Moreover, he is probably the most powerful man who has ever lived. His power is passive, but it is real.
Let us study the method by which he attained his stupendous POWER. It may be explained in a few words. He came by POWER through inducing over two hundred million people to coordinate, with mind and body, in a spirit of HARMONY, for a DEFINITE PURPOSE.
In brief, Gandhi has accomplished a MIRACLE, for it is a miracle when two hundred million people can be induced--not forced--to cooperate in a spirit of HARMONY, for a limitless time. If you doubt
p. 256
that this is a miracle, try to induce ANY TWO PEOPLE to cooperate in a spirit of harmony for any length of time.
Every man who manages a business knows what a difficult matter it is to get employees to work together in a spirit even remotely resembling HARMONY.
The list of the chief sources from which POWER may be attained is, as you have seen, headed by INFINITE INTELLIGENCE. When two or more people coordinate in a spirit of HARMONY, and work toward a definite objective, they place themselves in position, through that alliance, to absorb power directly from the great universal storehouse of Infinite Intelligence. This is the greatest of all sources of POWER. It is the source to which the genius turns. It is the source to which every great leader turns, (whether he may be conscious of the fact or not).
The other two major sources from which the knowledge, necessary for the accumulation of POWER, may be obtained are no more reliable than the five senses of man. The senses are not always reliable. Infinite Intelligence DOES NOT ERR.
In subsequent chapters, the methods by which Infinite Intelligence may be most readily contacted will be adequately described.
This is not a course on religion. No fundamental principle described in this book should be interpreted as being intended to interfere either directly, or indirectly, with any man's religious habits. This book has been confined, exclusively, to instructing the reader how to transmute the DEFINITE PURPOSE OF DESIRE FOR MONEY, into its monetary equivalent.


Read, THINK, and meditate as you read. Soon, the entire subject will unfold, and you will see it in perspective. You are now seeing the detail of the individual chapters.
Money is as shy and elusive as the "old time" maiden. It must be wooed and won by methods not unlike those used by a determined lover, in pursuit of the girl of his choice. And, coincidental as it is, the POWER used in the "wooing" of money is not greatly different from that used in wooing a maiden. That power, when successfully used in the pursuit of money must be mixed with FAITH. It must be mixed with DESIRE. It must be mixed with PERSISTENCE. It must be applied through a plan, and that plan must be set into ACTION.

When money comes in quantities known as "the big money," it flows to the one who accumulates it, as easily as water flows down hill. There exists a great unseen stream of POWER, which may be compared to a river; except that one side flows in one direction, carrying all who get into that side of the stream, onward and upward to WEALTH--and the other side flows in the opposite direction, carrying all who are unfortunate enough to get into it (and not able to extricate themselves from it), downward to misery and POVERTY.

Every man who has accumulated a great fortune, has recognized the existence of this stream of life. It consists of one's THINKING PROCESS. The positive emotions of thought form the side of the stream which carries one to fortune. The negativemotions form the side which carries one down to poverty. This carries a thought of stupendous importance to the person who is following this book with the object of accumulating a fortune.

If you are in the side of the stream of POWER which leads to poverty, this may serve as an oar, by which you may propel yourself over into the other side of the stream. It can serve you ONLY through application and use. Merely reading, and passing judgment on it, either one way or another, will in no way benefit you.

Some people undergo the experience of alternating between the positive and negative sides of the stream, being at times on the positive side, and at times on the negative side. The Wall Street crash of ’29 swept millions of people from the positive to the negative side of the stream. These millions are struggling, some of them in desperation and fear, to get back to the positive side of the stream. This book was written especially for those millions.

Poverty and riches often change places. The Crash taught the world this truth, although the world will not long remember the lesson. Poverty may, and generally does, voluntarily take the place of riches. When riches take the place of poverty, the change is usually brought about through well-conceived and carefully executed PLANS. Poverty needs no plan. It needs no one to aid it, because it is bold and ruthless. Riches are shy and timid. They have to be "attracted."

How stress affects your health
By Paul Goree 12/11/2017 San Francisco



It is so critical that we understand and acknowledge the stress we cause upon each other as we interact. This stress minimizes us as it is a silent killing medical factor: that leads to strokes, heart attacks, and anxiety, paranoia and self-esteem issues. As we interact, we have the capability to consciously consider how our actions, words and thoughts might affect another individual, creating stress on them. By which they go throughout the day passing that stress and anxiety on to others. If it is know that proximity to someone who is happy with a positive perspective, can increase our attitude, cause us to be more positive. This is a great STRESS REDUCTION and collectively inspires positive growth and empowerment. As American our individualism is attacked daily, with negative comments. These comments may not be directed at us, but the reception of that negative comment towards someone else, has the same affect, considering we are a collective of individuals with individuals liberties. This enhances our liberties of what it is we want and can accomplish in this nation. Why would those who are directly linked to us, want to bring the collective down with negative comments.
Negative comments are intentional expression that aim to attack an individual’s liberty! They also linger in the conscious mind and causes passive stress. This passive stress grows and grows, leading to the worst paranoia. Why do we do this? My liberties and freedoms are vested in your liberties and freedoms and at this era of human history-we can consciously acknowledge this and decrease negative energy, thoughts, expression and passion verbal assault. We then can learn and grow from that by which we are linked. The individualism/difference is where we all have an advantage, to increase and cement our liberty.
The following is report is from the American Psychological Association, detailing the importance of recognizing the health dangers of stress. This is something that is very Chiespirit as it --makes us consciously consider our creation from God and how we are all linked as one. So let's start consciously doing some things that are extreme POSITIVE. Knowing that negative energy will still and always be presence (Ying-Yang). But we can serve God by loving one another and helping one another come to higher understanding of our existence on this beautiful planet. 
How stress affects your health


Stress: We've all felt it. Sometimes stress can be a positive force, motivating you to perform well at your piano recital or job interview. But often — like when you're stuck in traffic — it's a negative force. If you experience stress over a prolonged period of time, it could become chronic — unless you take action.



A natural reaction

Have you ever found yourself with sweaty hands on a first date or felt your heart pound during a scary movie? Then you know you can feel stress in both your mind and body.
This automatic response developed in our ancient ancestors as a way to protect them from predators and other threats. Faced with danger, the body kicks into gear, flooding the body with hormones that elevate your heart rate, increase your blood pressure, boost your energy and prepare you to deal with the problem.
These days, you're not likely to face the threat of being eaten. But you probably do confront multiple challenges every day, such as meeting deadlines, paying bills and juggling childcare that make your body react the same way. As a result, your body's natural alarm system — the “fight or flight” response — may be stuck in the on position. And that can have serious consequences for your health.

Pressure points

Even short-lived, minor stress can have an impact. You might get a stomach-ache before you have to give a presentation, for example. More major acute stress, whether caused by a fight with your spouse or an event like an earthquake or terrorist attack, can have an even bigger impact.
Multiple studies have shown that these sudden emotional stresses — especially anger — can trigger heart attacks, arrhythmias and even sudden death.1 Although this happens mostly in people who already have heart disease, some people don't know they have a problem until acute stress causes a heart attack or something worse.

Chronic stress

When stress starts interfering with your ability to live a normal life for an extended period, it becomes even more dangerous. The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body. You might feel fatigued, unable to concentrate or irritable for no good reason, for example. But chronic stress causes wear and tear on your body, too.
Stress can make existing problems worse.2 In one study, for example, about half the participants saw improvements in chronic headaches after learning how to stop the stress-producing habit of “catastrophizing,” or constantly thinking negative thoughts about their pain.3 Chronic stress may also cause disease, either because of changes in your body or the overeating, smoking and other bad habits people use to cope with stress. Job strain — high demands coupled with low decision-making latitude — is associated with increased risk of coronary disease, for example.4 Other forms of chronic stress, such as depression and low levels of social support, have also been implicated in increased cardiovascular risk. And once you're sick, stress can also make it harder to recover. One analysis of past studies, for instance, suggests that cardiac patients with so-called “Type D” personalities — characterized by chronic distress — face higher risks of bad outcomes.5

What you can do

Reducing your stress levels can not only make you feel better right now, but may also protect your health long-term.
In one study, researchers examined the association between “positive affect” — feelings like happiness, joy, contentment and enthusiasm — and the development of coronary heart disease over a decade.6 They found that for every one-point increase in positive affect on a five-point scale, the rate of heart disease dropped by 22 percent.
While the study doesn't prove that increasing positive affect decreases cardiovascular risks, the researchers recommend boosting your positive affect by making a little time for enjoyable activities every day.
Other strategies for reducing stress include:
  • Identify what's causing stress. Monitor your state of mind throughout the day. If you feel stressed, write down the cause, your thoughts and your mood. Once you know what's bothering you, develop a plan for addressing it. That might mean setting more reasonable expectations for yourself and others or asking for help with household responsibilities, job assignments or other tasks. List all your commitments, assess your priorities and then eliminate any tasks that are not absolutely essential.
  • Build strong relationships. Relationships can be a source of stress. Research has found that negative, hostile reactions with your spouse cause immediate changes in stress-sensitive hormones, for example.7 But relationships can also serve as stress buffers. Reach out to family members or close friends and let them know you're having a tough time. They may be able to offer practical assistance and support, useful ideas or just a fresh perspective as you begin to tackle whatever's causing your stress.
  • Walk away when you're angry. Before you react, take time to regroup by counting to 10. Then reconsider. Walking or other physical activities can also help you work off steam. Plus, exercise increases the production of endorphins, your body's natural mood-booster. Commit to a daily walk or other form of exercise — a small step that can make a big difference in reducing stress levels.
  • Rest your mind. According to APA's 2012 Stress in America survey, stress keeps more than 40 percent of adults lying awake at night. To help ensure you get the recommended seven or eight hours of shut-eye, cut back on caffeine, remove distractions such as television or computers from your bedroom and go to bed at the same time each night. Research shows that activities like yoga and relaxation exercises not only help reduce stress, but also boost immune functioning.8
  • Get help. If you continue to feel overwhelmed, consult with a psychologist or other licensed mental health professional who can help you learn how to manage stress effectively. He or she can help you identify situations or behaviors that contribute to your chronic stress and then develop an action plan for changing them.

 14th DALAI LAMA
The 14th Dalai Lama: Tenzin Gyatso, shortened from Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, born Lhamo Thondup, 6 July 1935) is the current Dalai Lama . Dalai Lamas are important monk  of the Gelug  school, the newest school of Tibetan Buddhism  which is formally headed by the Ganden Tripas  . From the time of the 5th Dalai Tripas  to 1959, the central government of Tibet, the Ganden Phodrang , invested the position of Dalai Lama with temporal duties.
The 14th Dalai Lama was born in Taktser village, Amdo, Tiber and was selected as the tulku  of the 13th Dalai Lama  in 1937 and formally recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama at a public declaration near the town of Bumchen in 1939. His enthronement ceremony as the Dalai Lama was held in Lhasa on 22 February 1940, and he eventually assumed full temporal (political) duties on 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, after the People Republic of  China's incorporation of Tibet.  The Gelug school's government administered an area roughly corresponding to the Tibet Autonomous Region just as the nascent PRC wished to assert control over it.  

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. 14th Dalai Lama

Krishna is a name of the Supreme (God). It means "all- attractive." Anything that might attract you has its source in the Supreme. Therefore the Supreme is also known as Rama (rhymes with "drama"). "Rama" means "the highest eternal pleasure." All of us are pleasure-seeking creatures. So you can say that directly or indirectly we are all seeking Krishna. Chanting Hare Krishna is a way of seeking Krishna directly. As for the word "Hare" (pronounced huh-ray), it's a call to Krishna's divine energy. Just as the sun shines forth to us through its energies like heat and light, the Supreme reveals Himself through His multitude of energies. If the Supreme is the source of everything, then whatever we see--and even what we don't see-- belongs to the energy of the Supreme.

Now we're trying to exploit that energy, but the more we try the more entangled we get and the more complex our life becomes. But when we place ourselves in harmony with Krishna and Krishna's energy, we return to our natural, pure state of consciousness. This is what we call "Krishna consciousness." Krishna consciousness is not something imposed on the mind. On the contrary, it's already inside of each of us, waiting to come out, like fire in a match. Chanting Hare Krishna brings out that natural, pure state of mind.The chant is called a mantra, a vibration of sound that cleanses the mind, freeing it from anxiety and illusion. And this is a mantra anyone can chant. It's for people of all religions, all nations, all colors, and both sexes. No need to pay any fees, join any group, or turn your life upside down. Whoever you are, whatever you do, you can try the chanting for yourself and experience its result. Krishna and His energy are fully present in the sound of the mantra, so even if we don't know the language or intellectually understand how it works, by coming in touch with Krishna we'll become happy, and our life will become sublime.

Like a Skyline Is Etched in His Head

In a helicopter above the city on Friday, Stephen Wiltshire of London looked down at the streets and sprawl of New York. He flew for 20 minutes. Since then, working only from the memory of that sight, he has been sketching and drawing a mighty panorama of the city, rendering the city’s 305 square miles along an arc of paper that is 19 feet long. He is working publicly in a gallery at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

“I always memorize by helicopter,” he said on Tuesday, pausing from detailing the corners of a street on the Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge.
Mr. Wiltshire sees and draws. It is how he connects. Until age 5, he had never uttered a word. One day, his kindergarten class at a school for autistic children in London went on a field trip.

Stephen Wiltshire and the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn are very CHI-ESPIRIT, READ MORE AT:
