One is the number of unity, and not two.

Ease, peace, and eternal rest are in the truth of the AT-ONE-MENT.

NOW is the time to BE,

to DO,

and to HAVE the example or result.

God is infinite;

God is all;

and because He is ALL;

You are ALL;

then know that all true claims are true of God,

and what you claim that is true of God you are -

-the same has come unto you.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness and Thy law is truth.

There is no power but of God.

M.E.Cramer 1895

Merry Christmas to all,

and to all a good night.

Christmas

The sign of Christmas is a star,

a light in darkness.

See it not outside yourself,

but shining in the Heaven within,

and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come.

The power of suggestion misuse.

In 1921 Thomas Troward wrote:
THERE is a very general recognition, which is growing day by day more and more widespread, that there is a sort of hidden power somewhere which it is within our ability, somehow or other, to use. The ideas on this subject are exceedingly vague with the generality of people, but still they are assuming a more and more definite form, and that which they appear to be taking with the generality of the public is the recognition of the power of suggestion. I suppose none of us doubts that there is such a thing as the power of suggestion and that it can produce very great results indeed, and that it is par excellence a hidden power; it works behind the scenes, it works through what we know as the subconscious mind, and consequently its activity is not immediately recognizable, or the source from which it comes. Now there is in some aspects, its usefulness, its benefit, but in other aspects there is a source of danger, because a power of this kind is obviously one which can be used either well or ill; in itself it is perfectly neutral, it all depends on the purpose "for which it is used, and the character of the agent who employs it.

This recognition of the power of suggestion is in many instances taking a most undesirable form, and I commend to your notice, in support of this observation, numerous advertisements in certain classes of magazines--many of you must have seen many specimens of that kind--offering for a certain sum of money to put you in the way of getting personal influence, mental power, power of suggestion, as the advertisements very unblushingly put it, for any purpose that you may desire. Some of them even go into further particulars, telling you the particular sort of purposes for which you can employ this, all of them certainly being such uses as no one should ever attempt to make of it.

Therefore, this recognition of the power of suggestion, say even as a mere money-making power, to leave alone other misapplications of it, is a feature which is taking hold, so to say, of certain sections of the public who do not realise a higher platform in these things. It is deplorable that it should be so, but it is in the nature of things unavoidable. You have a power which can be used affirmatively, and which can be used negatively, which can be used for higher purposes, and can be used for lower purposes, and consequently you will find numbers of people who, as soon as they get hold of it, will at once think only of the lower purposes, not of the higher.
The Hidden Power - Thomas Troward - 1921


Troward talks of "shop assitants being trained to decoy or compel unknowing purchasers into buying what they do not want".
And of the unsuspecting purchaser? They will say: ""How in the name of fortune did I come to buy this rubbish?" Well, I must have been hypnotized into it. It does not make much difference to me, but it makes a great deal of difference to the young man or young woman who has hypnotised me, because it is the first step on the downward path.".

And that was the core of his teaching. Mental Science/NewThought/ The Hidden Power were Spiritual revelations.

What he said then is still prevalent and applicable today.

The Hidden Power

Make a promise take a vow
And trust your feelings it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the changes already beginning


In the widest sense everything is a symbol of that which constitutes its inner being, and all Nature is a gallery of arcana revealing great truths to those who can decipher them. But there is a more precise sense in which our current life is based upon symbols in regard to the most important subjects that can occupy our thoughts: the symbols by which we strive to represent the nature and being of God, and the manner in which the life of man is related to the Divine life. The whole character of a man's life results from what he really believes on this subject: not his formal statement of belief in a particular creed, but what he realises as the stage which his mind has actually attained in regard to it.
The Hidden Power - Thomas Troward - 1921


And how many words have I got to say
And how many times will it be this way
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past
You're already falling it's calling you
On to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The ONE it's calling is you
The Voice

Master Teachers

Students of ACIM would appreciate the works of Phineas Quimby, Thomas Troward, Emma Curtis Hopkins and Julius or Horatio Dresser.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
Thomas Troward was the father of Mental Science. His books and lectures from the early 1900's are insightful. I find him reminiscent of Kenneth Wapnick discussing A Course in Miracles. The Dressers were great at putting all the pieces and summarizing Mental Science. Emma Curtis Hopkins writes with heart and conviction as she speaks of the "Science of Truth". She truly was the "Teacher of Teachers" in it's every day practical applications.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
New Age stuff, no. Really new age stuff. What they taught was the power within and how to harness it. How to see the Good in all and make the world a little Lighter. Those with an internal frame of reference, such as myself, will resonate to it. Those with an external frame of reference will seek outside themselves. The lure of much of the New Age.

Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion

"There is no apartness".

Ancient metaphysicians taught in their practise, "There is no apartness".

The Truth is that God is Good, and God is omnipresent and omnipotent, thus the Good is omnipotent.
If the Good is omnipresent, the evil is nowhere present, and there is no apartness.

They realized the OneNess of God.
Duality suggest there can be good and bad. Which the above negates.

Your whole life conditions change if you change your modes of reasoning.

Your entire life you've had the notion all was not Good but now you change your notion/belief.

Can you have poor eyesight, or must it give way for the good eyesight to show up.
Some changes are instant,
some are more gradual.

Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati, 1840, ...

Dr. J.R. Buchanan discovers, that of a class of 130, 43 of them experience the effects of substances (medicines, heavy metals, sugar, salt, pepper, acids) while holding an envelope in their hands containing same. The effects are the same as if they digested or administered them by normal means. Certain people were acutely sensitive and could distinguish and name the various substances. ("The Mental Cure", Warren Felt Evans, 1869) 

Ask, Believe, Receive

"Anything you pray for and ask, believe that you will receive it, and it will be done for you."

(The Gospel According to Saint Mark, CH11, 24)

Teachers

Of her Charles Fillmore wrote: "She is undoubtedly the most successful teacher in the world. In many instances those who enter her classes confirmed invalids come out at the end of the course perfectly well. Her very presence heals and those who listen are filled with new life. Never before on this planet have such words of burning Truth been so eloquently spoken through a women."

Called the "Teacher of Teachers" Emma Curtis Hopkins(1853-1925), the author of "High Mysticism" and "Scientific Christian Mental Practice" was a student of Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science, who started her own school , the Emma Hopkins College of Metaphysical Science in 1889.
"When the Lord is your confidence you will never find yourself at all deceived by the ways and speech of men and women, though they be very brilliant, if they speak outside of the Principle that demonstrates healing and goodness and life."
I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away

Genevieve Behrend (1881 - 1960) in "Your Invisible Power" quotes from a letter of Thomas Troward (1847- 1916), the master of "Mental Science." to her regarding her inquiries to become his (only) student:
“I have studied the subject now for several years, and have a general acquaintance with the leading features of most of the systems which, unfortunately, occupy attention in many circles at the present time, such as Theosophy, The Tarot, The Kabala, and the like, and I have no hesitation in saying that, to the best of my judgment, all sorts and descriptions of so-called occult study are in direct opposition to the real life-giving Truth, and therefore, you must not expect any teaching on such lines as these.

We hear a great deal these days about initiation; but, believe me, the more you try to become a so-called “Initiate” the further you will put yourself from living life.

I speak after many years of careful study and consideration when I say that the Bible and its Revelation of Christ is the one thing really worth studying, and that is a subject large enough in all conscience, embracing, as it does, our outward life and of everyday concerns, and also the inner springs of our life and all that we can in general terms conceive of the life in the unseen after putting off the body at death.
You have expressed a very great degree of confidence in my teaching, and if your confidence is such that you wish, as you say, to put yourself entirely under my guidance, I can only accept it as a very serious responsibility, and should have to ask you to exhibit that confidence by refusing to look into such so-called “Mysteries” as I would forbid you to look into. I am speaking from experience; but the result will be that much of my teaching will appear to be very simple, perhaps to some extent dogmatic, and you will say you have heard much of it before.

Faith in God, Prayer and Worship, approach to the Father through Christ—all this is in a certain sense familiar to you; and all I can hope to do is perhaps to throw a little more light on these subjects, that they may become to you, not merely traditional words, but present living facts.”

After her studies with Troward, Behrend established school's in New York and later Los Angeles before touring other major cities throughout North America for the next 35 years as a celebrated lecturer, teacher, and practitioner of "Mental Science". Millions heard and enjoyed her, not only on the public platform but over the radio. Her students numbered tens of thousands all over the English-speaking world.

In “Your Invisible Power”she writes:

In prayer for a change in condition, physical, mental, or financial, for yourself or another, bear in mind that the fundamental necessity for the answer to prayer is the understanding of the scientific statement:
“Ask, believing you have already received,
And you shall receive”
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today
In “Prosperity”, 1931, Charles Fillmore wrote:
“Old thoughts must be denied and the mind cleansed in preparation before the affirmative Christ consciousness can come in. …
That is the state of consciousness that Jesus had, the Christ consciousness.”
I have moved and kept on moving proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing found others on the way
As Richard Rohr writes in “The Naked Now”:
“The enormous breakthrough is that when you honor and accept the divine image within yourself, you cannot help but see it in everybody else, too, and you know that it is just as undeserved and unmerited as it is in you. That is why you stop judging, and that is how you start loving unconditionally and without asking whether someone is worthy or not. The breakthrough occurs at once, although the realization deepens and takes on greater conviction over time.”
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”: Ghandi
I have tried and I've kept on trying stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind

"If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it,
then what you are undergoes a transformation." : Jiddu Krishnamurti
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow Oh I will disappear
As A Course in Miracles says in the INTRODUCTION
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.Herein lies the peace of GOD.

“The ancient Celts saw a direct link between the fertility of the land and the wisdom and spiritual health of their kingdoms”. : Celtic Tides CD

Remembrance Day ….

For me, this year, will be the Saturday after.
A year ago on that day I helped spread someone's ashes in the spot they requested.

That's thinking outside of the box.

And they held onto their husbands ashes for over 20 years.
Until they could be together.
That's love.

A spot over looking a lake.
Their lake.
At their camp.

Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'.
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.

A Course in Miracles teaches us:

“The goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it will play his part in it's accomplishment.”. (Text,C17,VI,6.5)

and that

“You will recognize the outcome because you are at peace.”.
(Text,C17,VI,5.7)

Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.

When we are in doubt the course reminds us:
“I will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful,
and to whomever can follow my guidance through you.”.
(Text, C4, VII, 8.8)

So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy.
I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you.
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend.
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end.

“The truly helpful are God's miracle workers,
whom I direct until we are united in the joy of the Kingdom.”.
(Text, C4, VII, 8.7)

We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1973)



What goal have you set?

When I took a hypnosis course on that last day the instructor recounted this story:
“When she completed a fire walk, some years earlier,
her husband had grabbed her at the end and said:
“We did it!”.
They were married soon aferward.

Maybe marriage is about being able to sit back some day,
when all is said and done,
and being able to say:
“We did it!”.

The Truth about the Flu Shot!

"By 1853, Parliament began passing laws to make the untested vaccine compulsory throughout the British Empire. Other countries of Europe followed suit. Once the economic implications of compulsory vaccinations were realized, few dared to disagree. Then, as now, the media were controlled by the vaccine manufacturers and the government, who stood to make huge money from the sale of these spurious vaccines."... Tim O'Shea, D.C.

What experience and history teach is this -- that people and governments never have learned anything from history or acted on principles deduced from it.”

A Prosperity Treatment

The Twenty-Third Psalm
(Revised)
The Lord is my banker; my credit is good.
He maketh me to lie down in the consciousness of omnipresent abundance;
He giveth me the key to His strongbox.
He restoreth my faith in His riches;
He guideth me in the paths of prosperity for His names's sake.
Yea, though I walk in the very shadow of debt,
I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me;
Thu silver and Thy gold, they secure me.
Thou preparest a way fro me in the presence of the collector;
Thou fillest my wallet with plenty; my measure runneth over.
Surely goodness and plenty will follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall do business in the name of the Lord forever.
Charles Fillmore
“Prosperity”
1936

The Unity School of Christianity was founded by Charles Sherlock Fillmore(1854-1948)
and Mary Caroline "Myrtle" Page Fillmore(1845-1931) in 1889, and was later incorporated as a church in 1903 by the Unity Society of Practical Christianity in Kansas City.
The Fillmores were students of Emma Curtis Hopkins, herself a student of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, who was a student and healed by Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a mental healer and metaphysician. Unity, therefore, was birthed by the Fillmores, but its roots go back to through Mary Baker Eddy and directly to Phineas Quimby.
A spiritual breakthrough came for Myrtle in 1886 when she attended a meeting lead by Dr. E.B. Weeks(a student of Emma Curtis Hopkins), a noted metaphysician. Dr. Weeks made a statement that would change Myrtle's understanding of herself and set her on a new course of spiritual development. Myrtle was in a state of mental and physical illness and had come to a point where she was not helped by either medicine or physicians. Dr. Weeks's statement that day brought her the healing she sought. She cherished each word of the phrase:

"I am a child of God and therefore I do not inherit sickness."

1845
- John L. Sullivan, editor of the United States Magazine and Democratic Review, criticizes American temerity toward Mexico and argues that it is "our Manifest Destiny...to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions."
- TEXAS AND THE MEXICAN WAR - Outgoing President John Tyler signs a congressional joint resolution to annex Texas and make it part of the union. In response, Mexico severs diplomatic relations with the United States. When Texas accepts annexation, newly-elected President James K. Polk sends a force under General Zachary Taylor to the Mexican border.
- At the same time, Polk sends a representative to Mexico City to offer financial compensation for the loss of Texas and to explore whether Mexico will sell the territories of California and New Mexico for a combined $40 million. Insulted, the Mexicans reject the American proposals and prepare for war. Texas enters the Union at year's end.
1854
- British Baronet Sir George Gore organizes a 6,000-mile buffalo hunting expedition on the Great Plains, leaving Fort Leavenworth for a three-year adventure. By this time, the increasing presence of travelers on the plains has divided the buffalo into a northern and southern herd, where once they roamed freely from Kansas into the Dakotas. Gore's expedition represents a more direct threat to the herd, and to the Indian peoples for whom the buffalo defines a way of life.
- Conquering Bear, the Lakota chief who signed the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, is killed when troops from Fort Laramie storm into his encampment to arrest a warrior who had shot a Mormon calf. Meeting resistance, the troops open fire. All but one of the troopers is killed in the Lakota counterattack, and in retaliation the army sends a force against the band which kills 86 and carries off 70 women and children. Though Conquering Bear had offered to make restitution for the calf, as the treaty required, the incident instead proves to the Lakota that Americans cannot be trusted to keep their word.
- After much bitter debate, Congress approves the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which repeals the Missouri Compromise of 1820 by allowing these two territories to choose between slavery and free soil.
1886
- Anti-Chinese mobs in Seattle kill five and destroy parts of the city before forcing 200 Chinese aboard ships bound for San Francisco. Leaders of the race riot vow to sweep the city clean of Chinese within the month.
- Geronimo, described by one follower as “the most intelligent and resourceful...most vigorous and farsighted” of the Apache leaders, surrenders to General Nelson A. Miles in Skeleton Canyon, Arizona, after more than a decade of guerilla warfare against American and Mexican settlers in the Southwest. The terms of surrender require Geronimo and his tribe to settle in Florida, where the Army hopes he can be contained.
1889
- Wovoka, a Paiute holy man, awakes from a three-day trance to teach his tribe the Ghost Dance, with which they can restore the earth to the way it was before the whites arrived in the West. His teachings will soon touch many tribes across the West, stirring a spiritual revival that whites nervously misinterpret as a return to hostilities.
- President Benjamin Harrison authorizes opening unoccupied lands in the Indian Territory to white settlement, an order put into effect on April 22 at noon, when a gunshot gives settlers the signal to cross the border and stake their claims. Within nine hours, the Oklahoma Land Rush transforms almost two million acres of tribal land into thousands of individual land claims. Many of the most desirable plots are taken by "Sooners," so called because they crossed into the territory sooner than was permitted.
- At the urging of the National Farmers' Alliance, Kansas adopts first-of-its-kind legislation regulating trusts, providing an early portent of the agrarian-based progressive movement preparing to sweep through the West.
- Farm and labor representatives meet with prohibitionists in Salem, Oregon, to form a progressive Union Party.
Washington, Montana and the Dakotas join the Union.

“The world is awakening in a wonderful way to the truth about the creative power of the mind.” - Charles Fillmore, “Prosperity” 1936

Save the tabs feature in IE7 which was removed in IE8

Internet Explorer 7 had a feature to open the last browsing session next time (the tabs open), while closing IE.

The tabs would be saved and will be opened when you use IE7 next time.

But with the release of Internet Explorer 8, this feature is not available when you close multiple tabs which are open in IE8.

Even though this feature was removed, IE8 has a new feature where in you can reopen the last browsing session, but the only difference is that the tabs will not be automatically loaded when you open IE8.

A wise man once wrote...

All effects produced on the human frame are the result of a chemical change of the fluids with or without our knowledge, and all the varieties and changes are accompanied by a peculiar state of mind. If the
mind should be directed to any particular organ, that organ might become deranged or it might not. In either case the trouble is in the mind, for the
body is only the house for the mind to dwell in, and we put a value upon it according to its worth. Therefore if your mind has been deceived by some invisible enemy into a belief, you have put it into the form of a disease,
with or without your knowledge.

Psychic Readings

Andrew Collins in "Twenty-First Century Grail : The Quest for a Legend" points out that the best Super Psychics (he has known) are around 90 percent accurate and it's a sliding scale from there. Which is probably accurate. Most stage performers are 30 percent accurate and it declines to 10 percent which is anyone on the planet (Reticular Activating Device, Synchronicity, Fate, Divine Intervention we call it). Remember, what you see on the boob tube is so heavily edited that you only see the hits not the number of misses. (Look up "Cold Readings" on the web). How do you really know who writes their books. There are ghost writers (no pun intended) you know.

Let the buyer beware. Check out all the information you can.
That being said I had a reading yesterday. My past car problems, head games with a brother, the fact one eye has gotten stronger and the rough time last year she was correct about. Someone I took care of, "He was there for me" she said she was told and the fact the estate isn't finalized that I know of(For some people it's about what they want not what the deceased wanted. Great forgiveness lesson fo me.) Fascinating, I was impressed.

What the significance of "New Brunswick" and February are I look forward to finding out about.

10 Ways To Give Yourself A Procrastination Inoculation

Ask, believing you have already received, and You Shall Receive

In prayer for a change in condition, physical, mental, or financial, for yourself or another, bear in mind that the fundamental necessity for the answer to prayer is the understanding of the scientific statement:
“Ask, believing you have already received, and You Shall Receive”
“Your Invisible Power” Genevieve Behrend , 1921

Pa Kettle and DDT

I watched a couple of old Ma and Pa Kettle movies last night.

There was one scene in that modern house that floored me. A couple of delivery guys drop a couple of cart loads of some beverage. The next scene showed Pa Kettle standing beside the cases and he remarked "I'd rather drink DDT".

And what year were they made?

The paradox of our time in history.

We have taller buildings but shorter tempers,
wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less,
we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families,
more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense,
more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much,
smoke too much,
spend too recklessly,
laugh too little,
drive too fast,
get too angry,
stay up too late,
get up too tired,
read too little,
watch TV too much,
and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information,
to produce more copies than ever,
but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character,
steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,
fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips,
disposable diapers,
throwaway morality,
one night stands,
overweight bodies,
and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window
and nothing in the stockroom.

A time when technology can bring this letter to you,
and a time when you can choose either to share this insight,
or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones,
because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,
because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart
and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, ' I love you ' to your partner and your loved ones,
but most of all mean it.

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment
for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak!

And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.
George Carlin (1937 – 2008)

Busting Loose ...

from the Money Game and
from the Business Game
both by Robert Scheinfeld
Substitute Holy Spirit for Expanded Self and it almost reads like a subset of ACIM. In any event it does tie Lynne McTaggart's book "The Field" in rather nicely.



George Lamas translated a version of the Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text. The Aramaic (the language of J) scriptures - called the Peshitta - remained virtually unchanged from the time the bible was assembled. As opposed to the western version from which the King James version was extracted.


For example Mathew 19:24 (King James): "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the the kingdom of God.
The Peshitta reads : Again I say unto you, It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Errors are attributed to mistranslations and the fact the western version went from Arabic to Greek to English and was subject to tinkering.


The Lord's Prayer
Our father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs from day to day.
And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven or offenders.
And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (means wrong, wickedness, error) For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen
Mathew 6:9-13

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs every day.
And forgive us our sins, for we have also forgiven all those have offended us. And do not let us enter into temptation; but deliver us from error. ( anything contrary to the truth; evil)
Luke 11:2-4

Another interesting thing is the names of places change.
Joseph of Arimthea becomes Joesph of Ramtha.

Warren Felt Evans vists P.P. Quimby for treatment. Versed in the Swedenborgian faith he immediately latches onto Quimby's explanation. And with encouragement from Quimby he returns home to Claremont, N. H., and duplicated Quimby's work. He went on to write six volumes upon the subject of Mental Healing.

Meanwhile elsewhere:

• President Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation.
• Union forces prevail at the Battle of Gettysburg.
• Congress organizes the Arizona Territory.
• Quantrill's Raiders, a Confederate guerrilla band operating out of Missouri, terrorize Lawrence, Kansas and burning most of the town. Among the Raiders are Frank and Jesse James, and Cole and Jim Younger, who will use the hit-and-run tactics taught by their leader, William Clarke Quantrill, to create vicious outlaw gangs in the post-war West.

P. P. Quimby

P. P. Quimby's perceptive powers were something remarkable. He always told the patient, at the first sitting, what the latter thought was his disease; and as he was able to do this, he never allowed the patient to tell him anything about his case. Quimby would also continue and tell to the patient what the circumstances were which first caused the trouble, and then explain to him how he fell into his error, and then from this basis prove to him, in many instances, that his state of suffering was purely an error of mind, and not what he thought it was.

Phineas Parkhurst Quimby

"Suppose a person should read an account of a railroad accident, and see, in the list of killed, a son. The shock on the mind would cause a deep feeling of sorrow on the part of the parent, and possibly a severe sickness, not only mental but physical. Now, what is the condition of the patient? Does he imagine his trouble? Is his body not affected, his pulse quick; and has he not all the symptoms of a sick person, and is he not really sick? Suppose you can go to him and say to him that you were on the train, and saw his son alive and well after the accident, and prove to him that the report of his death was a mistake. What follows? Why, the patient's mind undergoes a change immediately; and he is no longer sick. It was on this principle that Mr. Quimby treated the sick. He claimed that 'mind was spiritual matter,' and could be changed; that we were made up of truth and error; that disease was an error, or belief, and that the Truth was the cure. And upon these premises he based all his reasoning, and laid the foundation of what he asserted to be the 'science of curing the sick.' " * The Philosophy of P. P. Quimby, p. 18. (1895)

John Wooden Quotes

• It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
• Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
• Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
• Be prepared and be honest.
• Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
• Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
• Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.
• Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
• It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
• It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
• It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
• Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.
• Never mistake activity for achievement.
• Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.
  

John Robert Wooden (born October 14, 1910, near Martinsville, Indiana) is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player (Class of 1961) and a coach (Class of 1973).

The Way of Peace(1907) , by James Allen

"I looked around upon the world and saw that it was shadowed by sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked for the cause. I looked around, but I could not find it. I looked in books, but I could not find it. I looked within, and found there both the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy. I found one Law, the Law of Love; one Life, the life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the Truth of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of writing books which would help men and women, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly to find within themselves the source of all success, all happiness, accomplishment, all truth. And the dream remained with me, and at last became substantial; and now I send forth these books into the world on a mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that they cannot fail to reach the homes and hearts of those who are waiting and ready to receive them."

Warren G. Bennis

• Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.
• You need people who can walk their companies into the future rather than back them into the future.
• Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
• The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
• There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.
• Managers do things right, leaders do the right things.
• The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
• The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
• There is a profound difference between information and meaning.

Warren G. Bennis is an American scholar, organizational consultant and author, widely regarded as a pioneer of the contemporary field of Leadership Studies.
Bennis’ impact on the fields of leadership and management theory is significant. The Wall Street Journal named him as one of the top ten most sought speakers on management in 1993; Forbes magazine referred to him as the “dean of leadership gurus” in 1996. The Financial Times referred to Bennis in 2000 as “the professor who established leadership as a respectable academic field.” In August, 2007, Business Week ranked Bennis as one of the top ten thought leaders in business.
Bennis has been ranked as one of the top 30 Leadership professionals in the international Leadership Gurus survey for 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Bennis

ACIM does have re-occuring themes

I will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful,

and to whoever can follow my guidance through you.

(T4,VII,8.8)


I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do,
because He Who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes,
knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
(T2,V,18.8.2-6)

Jim Rohn quote

"The Bible gives us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. One list of human stories is used as examples - do what these people did. Another list of human stories is used as warnings - don't do what these people did. So if your story ever gets in one of these books, make sure they use it as an example, not a warning."

Commitment

Although it's not always easy,

this is part of loving someone

unconditionally

with all your heart and

with all you have to give!

It's a promise that should last a lifetime.

It

describes you as a person

and

describes the essence of your soul.

It's a promise to be there,

one for the other,

no matter what happens,

no matter who falls.

For better or for worse.

For better

or

for worse.

Mahatma Gandhi

"My life is an indivisible whole,
and all my attitudes run into one another;
and they all have their rise in my insatiable love for mankind."

The Financial Crisis of the 1870's : Lessons from history

The Long Depression
The financial crisis of the 1870's has been called The Long Depression. Its effects were still being felt even in the 1890s. The Long Depression was a worldwide economic crisis experienced in the 1870s. Low wages for farmworkers speeded the drift of labour from the land towards the towns.

How Did The Long Depression Start?
The depression began with a building boom in Europe, with rapid building construction taking place in Vienna, Paris and Berlin.
Mortgages were easy to get and large British banks happily made loans to developers. Mortgages were also available from new savings banks designed for the middle-classes. People used half-completed buildings as collateral because credit was so easy to obtain. This created a housing bubble.
The crisis hit when Russia and Central Europe couldn’t compete with American exports of wheat and other crops, including kerosene which undermined the use of rapeseed oil for cooking. Banks no longer wanted to lend so easily. Eventually the stock market in Vienna crashed and the crisis spread to Western Europe.

The Crisis in America
In the United States, the Long Depression began with the Panic of 1873.
Before this the United States had seen an era of unprecedented prosperity. Housing and construction boomed. Shops were full of customers. Prices of commodities reached new levels.

The Panic of 1873 was the start of the Long Depression, a severe nationwide economic depression in the United States that lasted until 1879. It was precipitated by the bankruptcy of the Philadelphia banking firm Jay Cooke & Company on September 18, 1873, following the crash on May 9, 1873 of the Vienna Stock Exchange in Austria (the so-called Gründerkrach or “founders' crash”). It was one of a series of economic crises in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
America became affected when the inter-bank lending rate shot up. The country had seen a boom in railroad construction financed mainly by large banks, such as Jay Cooke & Company.

They had created complicated financial instruments little-understood by investors to finance the railroads. Eventually this became impossible to sustain. Railroad companies went broke and large banks failed. Jay Cooke’s inability to pay its debts led to the stock-market crash of 1873, which is often called the Panic of 1873. The stock market closed for ten days as Wall Street attempted to deal with the problems.

More than 100,000 businesses failed after the Panic of 1873. Railroad construction was curtailed and building and manufacturing declined. Mass unemployment (unemployment reached 14%), demonstrations, and strikes beset the nation. In 1874 thousands of unemployed demonstrated in New York’s Tomkins Square Park. This was the largest demonstration that had ever occurred in New York.

The National Bureau of Economic Research dates the contraction following the panic as lasting from October 1873 to March 1879. At 65 months, it is the longest-lasting contraction identified by the NBER, eclipsing the Great Depression's 43 months of contraction. Following the end of the episode in 1879, the U.S. economy would remain unstable, experiencing recessions for 114 of the 253 months until January 1901.

"Man is made or unmade by himself...

In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master."
-James Allen As A Man Thinketh
