• Are you more left-brained, right-brained or somewhere in between?
• Do you know why you are here, what is your purpose?
• Do you care?
  
• Have you discovered the meaning of life?
• Is there one. No Q mark? Is that a question or a statement?
  
• If so what is it? What is what?  The meaning of life, of course!
• I think many of us want to know and are seeking. So if you know, please share it.

Well, I have no idea, do you? Well perhaps that is not quite on the mark. I do have a few suspicions, inklings and such!

• Those are just a few things to think about and if you have the answer, let me know. It will be different for different folks I reckon. Ok, don’t go getting dyspeptic on me now. Ha, got that one from the Free Rice part of the Helping Others section. Lots of interesting things over there. Boogie on over when you got a chance and set and click a spell.
  

I do have other things to present here but I am preoccupied with a few things at the moment.

• Here is a bit from Sri Chinmoy. Which Sri Chinmoy I am not sure. I attended some mediations in Winnipeg some years ago in one of his meditation “houses”. May not be the same person. The one I knew of had New York connections and used his mind to create much and was quite powerful. There was a “wow” factor to what he could do using his mind.

Here is one of his quotes:

• “Your mind is full of questions.
  Only one Master can answer them.
  Who is this Master?
  Your heart in love with silence.”

Sri Chinmoy

This also is an interesting quote:

• “Thought is a language that has no sound,
  while words are the symbols of a language.
  When language and thinking are excessive,
  they become a hindrance to wisdom.”

Zen

• Of course language is left-brain oriented and that is one form of intelligence. Symbols and such, perhaps the way to explore higher consciousness is accessing the right-brain.
• Just a few things to think about, or not. Perhaps the “or not” is more like it and it means more intuitively.

Some thoughts to follow these moments of inspiration.

“The Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow charity;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; and
Where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying to ourselves that we are born to eternal life.”
I am presenting this “peace” prayer after being reminded of it when listening to a cd by Wayne Dyer. This uplifting and comforting prayer is believed to have been written around 1900 and is attributed to St. Francis of Assisi mainly as it expresses his beliefs and spirit.

Another inspirational work, shown below, is an adaptation of the work of Mother Teresa.
“The Final Analysis

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; …Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; …Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; …Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; …Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; …Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; …Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; …Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; …Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.”

I wanted the above to stand on it’s own so I will post some thoughts afterwards, below.

I am not an expert on this, I came across some things that brought me to a place of wanting to present some things. I prefer to keep it light for the most part and not to get too hung up on words, not to analyze them or dissect them, just let the overall feeling emerge and see how that feels.

I generally look beyond the religious aspect of things to a place of spirituality that transcends main stream religion. While I say transcends, this still includes that aspect of spirituality that is foundational in religion and the concepts that seem to be incorporated in all the world’s major religions. When examined they do have, at their core, the same or similar messages.

The differences and interpretations of mankind bring about the challenges that are faced from a historical viewpoint and today. This starts when words come into play, as the Tao would have it. What does it matter the name assigned to this Universal Energy, whether it be God, Buddha, Creator, Allah, etc?

As Harry Palmer of Avatar would say, we are all the same, it is only our beliefs that separate us. I interpret that as being “we are all one”.

Just a few light thoughts for today. I was looking at some others. That will come later.

Namaste,

I finished my helping others banners for today and here is a word of the day. I found it in the free rice category.
This is great also (You have now donated 320 grains of rice.)

Word of the day. Guesses anyone?

Here it is:

omphaloskepsis means what?:

navel-contemplation
peace
takeover
outcast

Lots of fun and a great learning tool.

Gotta love those words!

This is “out of sight” and some may say out of mind! Well, many things are and everything is a form of energy, most of which we cannot see, physically. That does not mean it is not there or does not exist in some form. Some will like this alternative and may prefer it to drugs and other things. At the very least it is something to try as an alternative and a way to take some control of your health, moods, body and mind etc.

You can access this alternative healing method and they have plenty to sample for free. These alternative methods are not meant to bypass medical treatment as such. They can be used in conjunction with and to supplement or experiment. While it is called “music”, it is not what I would think of as regular music and it takes some getting used to.

A site is being worked on to provide an explanation. It is called The Sound Of Stars. Check under frequencies for a link to a Yahoo Group. I just noticed it does not go to the yahoo group so I made that link clickable. The group contains much info, testimonials etc. Use the digest method if you sign up, I suggest, otherwise you may get too many individual messages coming to you at once.

Some other alternatives besides health involve attracting a mate, money, performance etc.

This is experimental and may not resonate with your beliefs, if so and you cannot make the leap to try it out, then best you let it pass you by. If you are open to alternative methods, then give it a go and try it out. The “science” and technological stuff is not my “bag”, however I am curious about this alternative healing method.

Be sure to read all about it before deciding to try it out.

If you decide to try it out, drop back with a comment or two and let me know how it went.

P.S. For those who are into Helping Others – Click Here

Inspiration can come in many forms and as beauty is, it is in the eye or heart of the beholder. I wanted to present some videos on a separate page yet there is a challenge with imbedding them. I can do it but adding to or making changes creates the challenges as the page then does weird things and the videos do not show properly. So for now I will do them in post fashion.

I came across this video on gratitude, appreciation and can be a form of meditation for some.

It is entitled:

A Good Day- Brother David Steindl-Rast

I do hope you enjoy this moment of inspiration.

I have added a banner to Easy Ways To Help Others page to Feed 3 Million Children, which is another program to support. To view just go here:

Free, Easy Way To Help Others and Make a Difference!

At times I will add a new banner or two. I will likely keep it to about 10 maximum, at least that is my thought at the moment.

I was quite pleased at the numbers of visits coming to this site, although that has dropped off a bit. So perhaps I need to remind about the reminder service.

If you feel you may forget to do the clicking, just use the Reminder Service and you will be reminded once a week. I am using it myself! I considered doing one daily but that may be too many emails coming out but I would do it if I have enough requests. It also is a good reminder to come back to see if there have been any additions or changes.

Keep clicking to keep helping out. It is your call whether you do this daily or which ones you wish to support by clicking the banners.

I just noticed that it was announce that Belinda Stronach, Canadian businesswoman, breast cancer survivor and politician has raised $1 million towards establishing and academic chair at Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation to assist Canadian woman. She also pledged to raise an additional $1M for the project.

I am working on a few other ideas.

Best wishes to all.

A warm welcome to everyone. As mentioned elsewhere I have done things a bit backwards, setting up this part of the blog site first.

Free, Easy Way To Help Others and Make a Difference!

I consider it the focal point of this blog and wish it to remain so going forward:

I was just excited to get it launched as a way to help others. Many people are unable to contribute for lack of funds or other reasons. Now there is a way that folks can help other folks and they do not have to spend their own funds. All they need to do is click on a few banners each day and when enough people do that this will really make a significant impact on people’s live and bellies!

I have been looking for something that I can do to help facilitate this. I have found a way and I am glad to have found it. Now I am presenting this and with everyone’s help it will work.

Yes it will make a difference in people’s lives. Let us succeed one person at a time. Turn the little picture in to the “big picture”.

You can help. I cannot do it without you. Your help is key to the success of this. It is crucial. There is no doubt in my mind that we can do this together and make it a great success for those who truly need it. I believe it and I know it is possible.

There are many good people on the net who are willing to help. I have met quite a few and I am glad to know them. They are willing to share of themselves to help others.

Let’s Do It!
