To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless. There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills. G. K. Chesterton
Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant. Horace
Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment. Lao Tzu
Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. John Wooden
When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer.Harry Browne
A man should never be ashamed to own that he is wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. Alexander Pope
Activity and sadness are incompatible.Christian Bovee
The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more. Ursula K. Le Guin
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. Buddha
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.Marcel Proust
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many--not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."Charles Dickens
Want to be there before people live instead of die. c
Men talk about women like women talk about shoes. c Are you Interested or Interesting? Think back to your childhood. Who were the most influential people in your life that you remember before age 16? Write 3 down. Was it because they were Interested or Interesting? What if life IS unfinished business? what if it IS whatever you decide it is?
All control will return to it's rightful owner eventually. It's usually God in the end. People take control at the expense of others(un rightfully) and appear to be in control often. You will not keep control if you don't respect that you could lose it at anytime or have it taken away.
"With great power comes great responsibility"
He who thinks he can, can and usually does. He who makes himself a priority has everyone else cater to them.
"Man judges action, God judges intention"
So help you God, you are judged. God is "good" therefore if you experience a good action, it chose you because of your intention being good. The goodness you experience is to the level you cause it. Sometimes a little goes a long way. Sometimes goodness you cause spreads far and wide. Don't measure your success on actions. You measure an emotion by feeling it. You measure goodness by the way it feels. Sharing that feeling is similar to 6 degrees of separation. It immediately effects at least 6 people as soon as you effect one.
 You are the drop falling into a pool of water. The bigger the drop, the more force it sends out in the ripples of effect and the stronger the force coming back in, is.
Courage and control are attractive. Those who want it, follow. Those who need it obtain it however they can. Those who don't, give it up to someone else. Those who deserve it are given it. People may give control to others as a means to take it from themselves healthily or un healthily. It's the same as exiting a relationship before getting dumped. A way to control something "out of your control". A false sense of real power. It's wrong.
 If everything you do, does not involve, love, forgiveness, trust, integrity and self reliance, ultimately, responsibility and respect, then it's bad, not a lesson, causes pain without reward, and does not grow anything, instead kills. If you can't recycle "the shit" (bad experiences), it's caustic. If you are going to make a mistake, at least make it usable (productive), like compost.
"Don't recycle it for more than it's worth" (Baz Luhrman-Sunscreen song)
How many dead people do you know? You can base someone's emotional knowledge by the amount of dead people they know. I don't mean "know of". I mean, truly knew and constantly communicate with, via thought or remembrance.
Responsibility
Love, forgiveness, trust, integrity and self reliance, is only 5 rules. Ultimately I would advise following all 10 (commandments) but it's a lonely world out there. Otherwise, they say someone will rise again and watch out. Like my Mom said, "You want to cry, I'll give you something to cry about". That is life. Every time you complain selfishly, you immediately get something bigger to cry about. No one does this to you. It just happens. If you are the drop, the force you cause from your impact on another, will come back at you and be equally felt. Another way to say this is, every feeling you are having, you caused in another. So hard to believe. So true.
Excuses
What are you afraid of? What are you waiting for? What is inevitable is inevitable.
"Ignoring or avoiding anything won't make it go away."
"Life will find a way." (Jeff Goldblum-Jurassic Park)
Law of Attraction
One word- vibrations, maybe two, energy, maybe three, projection when you don't talk. The latter, 'Projection', when you don't say the words you think or feel, will come out of the other person back at you.
Winning
If you are not winning at what you are doing, exceeding your limitations, live the edge. Letting it go, giving up control, is a "take away close", "voodoo". It isn't the same as controlling control by giving it away. It is the thing that wins, ultimately. The Zone. Keeping your eye on the goal while paying mind body soul attention to everything. He who lets go, wins. Let go bigger, to win to the next level of the game. It wins for everyone.
Let go of being the star. Show people how they're their star. It's inside of them that wakes it up in us. We are each others life source if we really live.
Connection
Connection can be had with anyone, anything, but ultimately connection is felt to the degree it is felt with oneself first. The age old saying is, "You can't love someone else until you love yourself first."
Someone who does not know themselves, is not connected to them self, will drain you, not love you, not fill you up. It is stifling, exhausting, draining.You cannot give when you need. When you feel this way, ask yourself what you need, and find a way to get it without draining another. A way that may empower another eventually. "If you wear shoe leather, the whole earth is is covered with leather." My best memories are walking barefoot anywhere, being outside in rainstorms, running for your life and being really scared, walking in the night along paths difficult by daylight, swimming with the dolphins, jumping in the air surrounded by birds in flight, being naked in the sun. If you want to feel connection, take off the layers that protect you from feeling it. Sacrifice
Life is not about melting into lustful greed and gluttony. All growth and amazing ness of feeling is achieved through sacrificing ones own happiness. Without sadness there cannot be happiness. Strife, glory. Without all things, the other cannot be achieved. Know that utter bliss must follow and be followed by utter angst. Both extremes create each other."8"
If it's not hard it wasn't worth it. How fun is it to know everything?Is it exhilarating? Is anything worth your time that is easy? Anything that comes easy goes easy. So make it more. Make things last. Create a foundation of stone. You have to put the grit into it. Cry, beg for freedom, show you mean it. The biggest challenges have the biggest reward. The path of least resistance, is the path of least reward. That is what life is about. Don't need challenge? If you want to live or feel alive you do! Do it respectfully. Make everyone feel alive. Then everyone wins. Do you think you are great? Be greater. Turn off the TV.
Authenticity
Remember you have to get into the feeling to speak to someone on that level. You have to be on their page to communicate. The only place we all are on the same page is the feeling. Regardless of how we get that feeling, all different, the feeling is a common denominator. What makes another feel like they are stuck and in need of freedom and growth and adventure? Exactly what is found in you is what you find in getting away from who finds that in you. Many many movies about 3 way love. All a form of grass is greener. Show why your grass looks greener but is not. Why you must search for greener grass too, because yours isn't as green from your own view.

Attracting anything with the same Vibration. What we Focus on....will Expand. What we Resist....will Persist. FOCUS on what you LOVE...............Let GO of FEAR.
In a moment of anger, for example, whether acted out, verbalized, or merely seething unexpressed within, one trains oneself to become angrier by laying down a thin layer of angry disposition. A person so disposed to anger will more and more easily erupt in anger anew at any provocation. But in a moment of kindness a kindly disposition is deposited, and one becomes incrementally more disposed to kindness. The attitude with which we respond to an object of experience, with anger or with kindness, will therefore not only influence the causal field outside ourselves but also progressively reshape our very nature.
We inherit our karma from our past, from previous moments of existence in the form of a self—a bundle of dispositions, more precisely— and that past shapes how we understand and construct our present intentions. Yet every moment we also have our future karma in our own hands, as we shape a response to whatever is arising in present experience. This response, which may be more or less wholesome or skillful, is what determines what we will inherit downstream in the flow of consciousness.
The crucial factor influencing how well we can respond in any given situation seems to be the level of mindfulness we can bring to bear upon the moment. If we don’t care to be present, unconscious decision-making systems will function to get us through to the next moment, albeit in the grips of (often flawed) learned behaviors and conditioned responses. If, on the other hand, we can increase the amount of conscious awareness present by manifesting mindfulness, we expand the range of our possible responses. Even if disposed to anger, we can choose to act with kindness. This is the essence of our freedom in an otherwise heavily conditioned system.
The uncertainty and unpredictability of the quantum world is manifested in the fact that what ever can happen, does happen (this is often called the principle of totalitarianism, that if a quantum mechanical process is not strictly forbidden, then it must occur.
What is next is what you least expect. Expectations are resenrments in the making. We want to seek what we don't know and become bored with what we do. We seek to be illuminated. We search for the unknown while describing what we do know. We feel something else after we say it. We always end up back right where we started, all over again and again, the same, but different. :-)
Life is like an orgasm. A lot of effort goes into that one climax, but when you get realy good, you experience them deeper, more often and sometimes even unexpectedly. You can't fake it and what a waste of time to do so. But they have proven through MRI brainmapping, that through doing positive things it actually changes the brain. More astonishingly they cant explain that when a few centers of the brain are simultaneously activated, what looks like a firework show goes off. Another orgasm, of the brain?
"Follow me" is one of the best most intuitive forms of teaching. Careful who you follow. And when the person you were following disappears, remember.
Ignorance is bliss-fully blindsiding.
Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid. Earl Nightingale
Difficult times always create opportunities for you to experience more love in your life. Barbara de Angelis
The height of your accomplishments will equal the depth of your convictions. William F. Scolavino
All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that is was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. T.E. Lawrence
There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see. Leonardo da Vinci

Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it. William Durant
 William Whitcher
The only way to overcome anything, astrology, PSYCHOLOGY, anything, is to rise above.
By doing what is not natural, doesn't come naturally, you transcend.
It's like learning to ski correctly. Who judges what "correctly" is?
Who judges the value of art? It's all relative.
There is nothing natural about skiing. Sure you can learn by yourself,
if you teach yourself, but any well studied more experienced person is much better at
surviving much more difficult terrain. If you don't train, or learn, or ever
plan to ski difficult terrain, then you don't have the need.
With all learning, without much reflection, studying and understanding, examination,
experience and total immersion, you will do it un productively.
Some wish to soar, gracefully, to overcome greater mountains, what looks like radical to
others is not so radical to them.
Utilize, respect. Do what you can with what you have. Don't limit yourself.
Buckminster Fuller and Marshall Thurber were quoted to Inspire lateral thinking. Randomly selected strangers were encouraged to connect, be successfull, and win, through a series of games discovering the power and necessity of creating win win situations for all.
As a group, no matter how difficult or large to connect, we were showed via charts, through the 6 degrees theory, and first impressions selection, as well as other more vague ways i.e. through making animal noises similar to your own kind, somehow we are all connected and connect.
A business model recipe for success was given.
Lastly, through directed delving you 'untangle the mess you've weaved' to free any things that may be holding you back from being successfull, uninhibited.
Through love, forgiveness, integrity, trust and self reliance, we experience responsibility.
Experiential training backed by existential philosophy. David Neenan says, "Most gifted generals understand you can’t defeat people with weapons. You have to win their hearts and minds,” he said. Noting that you will get people mad at you for trying to solve problems differently, he said it is worth the effort, nevertheless.
Einstein: “‘Problems can’t be solved by the same thinking that was used to create them.’”
All upsets are opportunities to look at yourself a little bit deeper, to bring peace to your own life"
“No Excuses: Be the Hero of Your Own Life”
Adaptive issues include change of habits, beliefs, practices and behaviors.
In the future, if we’re serious about our culture, we have to create new practices to replace those of pure self-interest.
“We need to make change happen, by invitation versus a mandate. A mandate creates this rebel. An invitation is a choice to look at possible alternatives in terms of adaptive behavior.”
The purpose that drives humanity is a sense of deep engagement, to make this a better world.
“You have to light your own fire. How do you survive in a culture that says leadership is outside of you? I’ve always understood it’s inside of me.”
“My ‘Yes’ means nothing, if I can’t say ‘No.’”
According to philosopher Viktor Frankl, survivor of a Nazi death camp, there are three ways through which to achieve meaning in life — through good works or deeds, through tragedy turned to triumph and through luck.
"Teachers, have a career that hits on all three.”
Responsibility has many definitions. The one I find most meaningful is this: an ability to answer for one’s conduct and obligations.
The difference lies in whether we respond or react to events. Instead of reacting to what somebody did to me, I can ask, "How do I choose to respond to this challenge to make it come out so we both benefit?" Ask someone what they want in life. Is what they are doing right now going to achieve that?
Instead of asking what someone else should do about my problem, I can ask, What can I do to improve the situation? The answers to these questions mark the distinction between victim and hero.
Many existentialists have also regarded traditional systematic or academic philosophy, in both style and content, as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience.
We can only engage in discussions about meaning if we have been willing to question our own lives and can recognize that anxieties and doubts about meaning do not have to be equated with personal pathology or mental illness (Szasz 1961, 1965, 1992).
Three sources of the meaning of life...(Logotherapist Frankl (1946))
Firstly through taking from the world what is there, learning to savor and appreciate what is already given to us, as in aesthetic enjoyment of nature or the pleasures of the senses. Secondly to give to the world and add new enjoyments to it through acts of our own creativity and by giving to others in this way as well. Thirdly by suffering, which is to endure the harsh conditions we may be exposed to. If there is no alternative to our suffering, it is always possible to find an attitude of human dignity by enduring the hard labor, pain and disappointments, Frankl argues, even when we have to face up to extremes of torture and deprivation.
Some people have to suffer to feel worthy of recognition internally or externally. People that tell others about what they have endured, have to obtain it externally because they can't see inside.
Do I need to cause pain to feel alive, feel at all, to survive to know that I am here as to be pinched so this is real, or as a pathology to feel worthy?
He prepares the people by reading the words of strong, assertive revolutionaries of the past who took this choice.
We meet at Neenan's infused with highly trusted security. People are escorted to a place of dying by a strong personality ... who is loving, supportive but non sympathetic. At the place of dying (Neenan Company) they are metaphorically shot in the head and if the receiver does not believe they are definitely dead, metaphorically their throat is slit with a scalpel. They finalize the process by celebrating the sacrificial experience of death and rebirth.
As an ex marine, Neenan comes from the "Pain is weakness leaving the body" back round. Further emanating in his life as existential philosophy, he has arrived at a belief system he teaches through lecturing and participating his students in a series of games and experiences.
I felt like a rat in a cage being viewed as I wandered through the habitrail tubes to be watched as a mad scientist experimented and guided our direction. When it went awry to become the unexpected that was ironically being taught, the happenings were not so well received by the self claimed master receiver trainer creator.
Never say never, don't get too attached to the outcome, because all you can rely upon is, that life finds a way...
Revolutionary Suicide is when you commit suicide and call it something else. Inflicting pain to overcome? I think we do this to ourselves quite sufficiently when needed. At least I know I do.
Is it the strongest that kill themselves before being taken, or the the weakest? No matter what they might say, the weakest and the strongest would not kill themselves. Saving your life can be viewed as being the weakest or strongest as well.
The question is, do you feel alive after self inflicted death? I don't. But I felt good before I left. Maybe that type of thing is better for the suffering.
Thank you for the experience though. I have seen allot of other things in the process, as I do with everything I do. The one thing was the finding the moo's with your eyes closed.
But life put me with the same people over and over. I will see that as a sign that if anything, they are to add to my life and I theirs in way's I know not yet. So regardless of all intentions, the precision effect is always in force.
Thank you!"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." Oscar Wilde
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds. Wayne Dyer
