After reading a bit on blondie’s blog about a John Lennon CD, I decided to check it out. Actually her link was to a video on YouTube. While there I noticed a video entitled God-John Lennon. It sounded interesting enough to check it out.

The essence of the video/song is quite simple yet profound. Ah, the dream is over. What does that mean to you?

This time of year is a special time for many folks for family and friends. For some, who are isolated, it can bring about memories and sadness. In other parts of the world it is meaningless. Others find it too commercialized and detracts from their interpretation of what it really means to them.

A special prayer goes out to those who are homeless, isolated, in poor health and those lacking in abundance of any kind.

Whichever way you chose to celebrate, or not, as the case may be, I wish to send you a positive message, a warm greeting, love even if and especially if you are not surrounded by family or friends. A wish for peace, love, joy and happiness, not just for this time of year. Let the spirit carry us though out the year and years.

I received a message in one of the groups I am in. They are doing a meditation, which I won’t post here, for World Peace, Abundance and Freedom.

All good things to aspire for and hope for in the world. I am not into some of the wording and such so I won’t post that. What I will post is a bit of what I would suggest you do if you so choose.

The suggested starting time is Dec. 24th at 9 AM or if you cannot do this start at 9 PM Dec. 23rd in whichever time zone you are in. In simple terms, just think of Peace, Abundance and Freedom for everyone, put your thoughts and attention on that. Thoughts are energy and we are energy as is everything else. It is said to raise our vibrational energy and affect consciousness. It is not voodoo or magic. It just is.

Do this until 9 PM Dec. 25th at anytime you choose to be part of the “wave” effect. Now you can do this all year round if you wish.

Important: Include your own spirituality into it, God, Buddha, Jesus, Allah, Universal Energy, whatever is meaningful to you. I believe that it must feel right to you and not be someone else’s beliefs. That applies to anything in life. Respect, honor the differences in everyone and follow your own truth.

Mediation and prayer has been demonstrated to affect things positively. Mass meditations have shown to reduce crime in certain areas so anything we can do in this regard is positive, in my opinion.

In a previous post I mentioned another planned meditation that you may wish to consider.

I will post a few messages for this time of year in several languages. Again, this is just in the spirit of this time of year. Also these are greetings written in these languages and not to mean all celebrate this event. I am not an expert in languages so please forgive any mistakes.

One of my favorite authors is Wayne Dyer when I was introduced to his book, “Real Magic“. I was fortunate to have been in the audience to hear one of his presentations. Amazing how he can talk for hours without referring to a note. His presence is amazing.

If you are exploring a sense of purpose you may wish to view the following video for some enlightenment and divine inspiration:

. For the word for today which I found in the free rice part of the helping others section here, the word I chose today is blench.Here are the choices:

1.subside

2.behave

3.flinch

4.exaggerate

Now as for my behavior surrounding this, I am not exaggerating, nor am I flinching away from it, or letting it subside into the abyss. So give it a guess or if you know, good for you! Perhaps when you do the helping others for today you will discover it in there also.

Wishing you much good fortune, today and everyday, in all ways and always.

Genes “Easy Ways” of the day.

………..

How about the word of the day. It is arroyo.

I must confess I guessed this one. It did seem “Spanish” to me. Well it seems I guess quite a few of them, of deduce or something. Left brain right brain combo I suppose that is what it is.

So what is arroyo?

sunroom

So there you are, have a go at it.

I used to do the word games in Readers Digest many years ago. I had some word tests done while in early high school and drive the counselor mad. I ended up about 4 or 5 years ahead of what level I should have been at.

He kind of discounted it saying you had to get two wrong consecutively before you were done. I kept getting the second one right it he said and we kept going on forever until finally I hit that magic number. But only way I knew those words I am sure was due to RD and their word games.

Not sure what is up with Google. I tried to place some videos onto the blog using the adsense system. All it displays is a link to Youtube rather than the videos. It looks like they do not want the videos to show on the site for some reason. ?? Plus the ads are not reflective of the content and posts I have made.

I will leave you with a video I can post here as it is direct.

Cheers,

On my travels to help others today I came across the word, stentor. So this will be the word of the day for today.

Stentor means which of the following?

• puzzlement
  loud-voiced person
  embroidery
  obesity

Hint, it’s origins is in Greek mythology. Well that is a good word game over there. Each right answer gets 20 grains of rice. If you are forgetting to click, just use the reminder service.

If you have any ideas about helping others, be sure to leave a comment.

Wishing you much good fortune, today and every day.

The path to success is wide and varied. Each is on our own I imagine. Yes clues, and techniques can be used, learning from others etc. But!!

I reckon you could put 3 people through an identical course on something, set them up in identical business, similar locations etc and each would get different results. Each of us have our own individual programming, issues, beliefs and who knows, karma?

Many of the writers or other successful people eventually find success then they wish to tell others how they did it so others can do the same. It is a noble gesture but many are not even sure how they did it, do they? Again so many variables, they may think they know and go on writing book after book. But when you know the secret how many new secrets are there? And why did not you reveal them all in the first book?

It is strange to me how a book evolves, usually from a central idea. Then many words, pages and chapters are created to fill in the book. How much is enough? 10 pages, 100 pages, 500 pages? Words tend to expand and fill in the pages. Much of it, to me, is intellectual do do. Intellectual may be a tad strong. Well, perhaps gobbly gook.

Then again, following all this advice, if we try to become or emulate someone else, who are we really? Do we become some facsimile of that person rather than our own true nature.

Desire is good, desire is bad. It depends on what that is. Is it primal desire? Uncontrolled desire? The desire of something then the creation of that? In a worldly sense?

Does spirituality have anything to do with religion? Can you separate the two? Can you separate the two? Is spirit not part of everything?
Is being rich not spiritual? How was it achieved? Can it be achieved with being spiritual? Is being poor spiritual? Why or why not?

I know some people who ascribe to the idea of intellectual spiritualism or spiritual elitism, or so it seems. How can this be? How can there be an elevated form or spiritualism. More left brained games? Is there such a thing or is it just mind babble to stimulate their creativity and satisfy that desire?

Well, perhaps I should write a book on this? What do you think?

Looking at the stats for this site, the visitors have dropped off considerably. Does that mean we are no longer Helping Others? It really only takes a few seconds to click though and contribute at no cost to you. Use the Reminder Service if necessary to remind you to come back and do it.

Easy ways choice to help others, is it not?

Well easy ways has found out about this challenge being tossed around like brain waves unleashed. So maybe you want to get those brain cells clicking into a higher zone.

If so just click this link below if you are interested:

Develop the habit of meditation in 2008!

This is a global challenge to help 100,000 to become habitual in the meditation world! Some have challenges with meditation so perhaps this can help you along the path of least resistance. Compliments of Lisa Hepner.

So if you are new to meditation or want to freshen up you skills in that arena, give it a whirl. Some do have challenges getting the mind to quieten down. That is the left brain working “on” you. Relax and let the right brain in and access another world of love, beauty and peace.

Hey, as far as habits go, this one is a good thing!

In love and peace,

Here is some Great News.

The free rice site is now donating 20 grains of rice through the United Nations per right answer in the word game. That is a fun word game to play. You can continue to guess even if you get it wrong.

Just go Here to Help Others.

Then you get easier words so you will win and so will those people who need the rice. That, after all, is the important part of all of this.

If you know of other ways to help others out. Please post in a comment. Your email is required to post but it is not released to others.

Word of the day is cotillon.
