I wanted to wish those who celebrate this a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year.  This is meant in the best of spirits and if you celebrate something else I wish you the best also. Even if you celebrate nothing I still wish you the best. For me it is all in the “spirit” of things.

I have indeed been lax in posting of late and there are a number of reasons for this.  As you know I have stopped doing most of the things that are out there.  I only like to support things that have a good chance of success.  I hope to soon send an alert for a program I have been beta testing. It has a way to succeed even if you are not able to promote or do not wish to. I will try to post it here as well.

I also made a few notes on the previous posts.  MCS is no longer accepting new members directly as you can now join the forex program with $25.

Take care and enjoy the season.

This may be a bit off topic.  I recall Lydia posting something like this for js aka John Stankiewicz etc blogger guy from 9Planets, see links for that.  In any case js may be better looking however when it comes to duck appeal.  Not a chance my friends. Notta.  Zippo. Zilch.  Only the truth gained from years of experience from treading water.  Yes sir/ma’am.

There seems to be a pecking order, no duck pun’d intended, as js recently moved up a blogger to near top spot.  I am on the bottom and sometimes that can be fun but at other times, maybe not.  It depends.  But it cannot be a big deal can it?  I tend to view that as an ego thing anyway.

The more I think of it.  I like the bottom.  Yes I do.  Just another point of view from the bottom.  Well hey, I used to like lobsters and they are bottom feeders.  Which reminds me.  Keep buying those Canadian lobsters folks.  The fisherman need your support.

In any case what I am talking about here is the Playgirl thingy that Lydia did for the young looking and handsome guy,  js.  That complicated and spiritual guy who is well intended.

Ok, this is not really about js, just to put it into some kind of perspective.

So without further ado do I present to you the real Playgirl Man Of The Year, aka The Big Quacker.  Nothing micro about this fellow.  He is surely pretty and ready to take them all on. I love this guy he is so man err duckly. Or is that ducky!

Ok, while I am all for giving that duck Top Billing,  I think it is time to take off for Mars.  I am ready for that too.

As usual, this is all in bad taste and good fun.  Or is that all in good fun and bad taste? Any resemblance to humans is purely accidental, co-incidental and contains the usual unknown disclaimer.  He (ME) knows knot what he do’s and the writer is about to go into orbit soon.  Well who knows really?

Wishing you great fortune, good health and all that you truly desire to flow your way today and everyday.

Cheers,

Gene

PSS.  Yes the Pittsburgh Penguins won Lord Stanley’s Cup. But like usual they have to give it back next year and get to try all over again.  Even with Sid the Kid, Sidney Crosby, the pride of Nova Scotia,Canada, sitting on the bench for the final two periods.  Imagine benching the star player for getting hurt.  Sick I tell ya. Sick.  Just kidding Sid. Put down that hockey stick.  Whack. Whack. Whack.  Penguins, aren’t they just big ducks that cannot fly?

PSSS. What happened to the Mighty Anaheim Ducks? Never mind the Vancouver Canucks,  do you think another team will ever win the Stanley Cup?

So Sid the kid was not really sick, just got creamed into the boards.  Just thought I would clear that up.  Whack Whack Whack.

This just in from several sources and I decided to present it now.

I’ve adapted most of the following from a couple of those sources.

RevolutionaryMatrix

This is one you have to actually watch to be convinced. Go to the site and watch the video . Impressive to watch this video.

This guy describes what is going on out there, very convincing.

I’ve joined this one, even before viewing  the video! Based upon what a couple of people told me already.

One reviewer said:
He shows honesty, truth, and more, right in that video. I am truly impressed. Am glad I did not pass this one by   . but did decide to at least glance at it and am glad I did). Go and watch! At least. I mean… the guy is even Spiritual!

And was the 2nd most successful member in GDI! Wow! A powerful video. Ok, I can’t stop. Ok, I’ll stop

RevolutionaryMatrix

And:
I like their attitude and so on and am sure you will get your ten bucks back, each month, either from overspill or from your own enthusiastic praise and promotion of this one! Just let the video do the talking for you! You don’t need to say much to your friends! Ok? Or even strangers.

Just say…Watch the video!

More on this, below:

Co-founded by former world leading GDI sponsor, James Al-Oboudi
Are you tired of the same old affiliate marketing programs built on systems that serve only the people at the top?  So were we.  That’s why we created Revolutionary Matrix.

Join our 5×6 Forced Matrix where everyone gets free sign-ups from their upline through a “spillover” effect, and trust me when I say that we’ve brought in very serious marketers who are heavily promoting our system to build the downlines of all our members as quickly as possible.

Get paid $2 for every person on the 6th level of your downline, not just $1 like every other company.  This is truly revolutionary.  By doing this, we are dramatically cutting into our profits to pay you as much as possible.

Receive a monthly income of more than $35,000 once you and your upline work together as a team to fill up your downline.

Receive free advertising from us as we pay to advertise your link through our free rotator.  Other companies charge for their rotators, but we’ve decided to dramatically cut into our own profits to offer you this service for free and advertise your business for you.

Freely receive the very same marketing strategies that made our co-founder (James Al-Oboudi) ranked 2nd in the world with Global Domains International without spending a dime on marketing.

Join our community forum in which members continually share information to help our Revolutionary Matrix family thrive.

Welcome to Revolutionary Matrix. Why do we call it “Revolutionary Matrix?”  Because this is indeed a revolutionary system that will completely out-perform any online affiliate marketing system available.

I know you’ve heard all the big talk from other programs out there, but when you come to learn who has created this program, and why it’s been created, you’ll start to see why it’s different from anything else out there and is indeed revolutionary.  We have developed every single aspect of our program to serve you first and us last.  We’ve gone out of our way to make this program as supportive as possible while continually putting the interests of our members first.  We even go so far as to dramatically cut into our profits to not only pay you as much as possible, but also to advertise your business for you.  We pride ourselves on being selfless servants of our members, and we always look out for the little guy, because we once were the little guys, and we know what it’s like to be lost in a sea of endless affiliate programs and money making systems that are all saying the same thing – or even worse, lying to rip people off through a system that only serves it’s founders, creators, and owners.

Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is James Al-Oboudi, and I was formerly one of the top performing sponsors worldwide for Global Domains International (GDI) until I decided I no longer wished to promote their company for various reasons I’ll discuss in a moment.  In less than three months with GDI I was already ranked second in the entire world, and I got there without spending a dime on marketing.  Much of my success came from exposing very fraudulent programs that were built up on a great deal of hype from clever marketing but left their members struggling to make money, leaving the vast majority of them with less money than they began with while the creators of the system became extremely wealthy.

If there is one thing I want you to be sure of, it is that I am adamantly opposed to deception, which is why I’m so insistent on exposing corruption among various affiliate programs, or even among individual sponsors who promote them.  My brain just isn’t wired in a way that allows me to deceive people, and I honestly can’t comprehend how people who are lying to, cheating, and robbing others can live with themselves.  I’ll never understand it, and quite frankly, I never want to understand it, so you can be certain that Revolutionary Matrix is founded on nothing other than pure truth, and truth is all you will ever receive from us, as we are committed to operating with the highest of ethical standards.

Speaking of the voice within, music, art etc. goes beyond into the realm of which I will speak here.

Intuitions, The Voice Within:

Sometimes I receive intuitions about people or situations that come to me in the form of subtle signs. So subtle that it may be difficult for me to recognize it. It is important to pay attention to these messages which originate from the right side of the brain as these come in the form of symbols as opposed to our normal language. Perhaps it is a little voice whispering about some thing to do or not.

The left hand side of the brain may try to talk me out of it and this center of my universe may steer me in the wrong direction. Other times the signs may turn up in other people or events pointing you (me) in a new or different direction. This too may easily be overlooked or over thought. Sometimes the logic points to the wrong direction even though it seems very logical to go that way.

True intuition is never wrong. Like when you do something you just know is not right for you. You get that sinking feeling or just a “knowing” that it is wrong. If it feels wrong then it is likely is.

I may sometimes be swayed by others and their interpretations of the “truth” or what they may think is best for me. It may be but then again it may not be. In the end I must decide what makes sense or is valid for me.

Thought for the day:

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.

Oprah and Eckhart Tolle Announcement.

Previously, I mentioned the Eckhart Tolle, “A New Earth and the Power of Now”, and Oprah connection, Oprah’s book of the month club. There has been an announcement of an online 10 week series starting March 3, 2008.

Go to Oprah.com, check it out and register if you are interested. This looks like a golden opportunity to be “awakened”, a transformation of human consciousness, as they suggest.

“In his insightful look into humanity’s ego-based thinking, Eckhart Tolle provides practical teachings for waking up to a new, enlightened mind-set. If you’re seeking a more loving self and a more loving planet, A New Earth has the tools to begin your transformation.”

I suspect this will be much more than merely omphaloskepsis. That is a deep subject, however, I am not going to explain that word again.

Could this be part of the “Big Picture”?

….

To work on “victimization” or eliminating it can be a challenge. One author I like is Eckhart Tolle and he has some practical advice and methodology to do just that.

I just read that Oprah is endorsing Eckhart Tolle’s book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose. I have read several of his books including The Power of Now and Practicing The Power Of Now. I have found them to be very powerful and profound and I highly recommend them.

Practicing the Power of Now is a very easy read and packed with great information about living in the now.

Tolle is originally from Germany and now lives in Vancouver, BC.

If you have not had an opportunity to do so, check his work out. It could easily change your life.

Of course being in Oprah’s Book of the Month Club will certainly ensure this latest work will be well read.

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?

Cheers,Genes “Easy Ways”

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?

…

• 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,
