"Oh no, what's this ? A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle..."
En entendant les paroles de la chanson Trouble de Coldplay qu'affectionnait mon fils aîné Fahd et qu'il écoutait sans relâche dans son lit avant d'être emporté par la mort, je fus saisi d'une peine immense et d'une douleur intense car je compris subitement la douleur morale et physique que Mon Grand éprouvait et endurait en silence. Les larmes ont envahi mon visage et je fus secoué de pleurs spasmodiques incontrôlables à l'idée que Fahd avait le pénible sentiment d'être pris au piège et enfermé dans une toile d'araignée d'où il ne pouvait plus se dégager. L'horrible araignée (LMNH) a paralysé ses membres inférieurs en ayant provoqué au passage des ravages dans les autres parties de son corps.
Seuls son cerveau et son coeur ont pu rester intacts et Fahd a résisté vaillamment aux assauts de l'araignée en s'accrochant à la vie et à l'espoir de sortir vainqueur de cette bataille inégale. L'air lancinant de la chanson m'a transpercé le coeur et les images dans la vidéo m'ont permis de visualiser les efforts désespérés de mon fils qui étaient condamnés d'avance et voués à l'échec.
Tu as peut-être perdu cette bataille terrestre Mon Grand mais tu as gagné le Paradis où tu retournes vers Dieu ta mission hardiment accomplie et emportant la grâce divine. Ton passage sur Terre n'aura pas été vain parce que tu auras suscité un vaste mouvement de compassion après ton départ et généré un élan d'amour inégalé. Puisses-tu retrouver la paix de l'âme et comprendre les choix qu'elle a effectués ici sur Terre notamment sa décision qui te paraissait incompréhensible de vivre une terrible épreuve morale et physique afin de permettre aux autres de se racheter. Tu as comme disent certains permis le bouclage de l'expérience "karmique" terrestre de beaucoup d'entre nous afin que nous puissions élever notre fréquence vibratoire et être à même de convertir nos erreurs passées en bonus et ticket de voyage vers le Paradis où tu résides en ce moment sans l'ombre d'un doute.
In the famous and now well-know 'Double Slit Experiment', "the photons changed from the particle form that could pass through one opening at a time in the barrier (the single slit) to a waveform that could pass through multiple openings in the barrier (the double slit)", says Gregg Braden in his 'Spontaneous Healing Of Belief'.
"What caused the particles to change into waves to accomodate the situation ?" asks Gregg.
"How did the particles know that there was more than one opening in the barrier ? " continues Gregg questionning the experiment.
He concludes that "photons are influenced just by being watched and the more the watching, the greater the watcher's influence on how the particles behave :
our bodies and the world are made of the same quantum stuff that changed in the experiment when it was watched ;
we are all watchers."
"The quality of our beliefs and expectations have a direct and powerful effect on what happens in our everyday life.
"From this perspective, says Gregg, our reality works like a great cosmic screen that allows us to see the non physical energy of our emotions and beliefs (that is, our anger, hate and rage; as well as our love, compassion and understanding) projected in the physical medium of life."
"The studies concluding 'Observation Affects Reality' demonstrate 2 keys in translating the possibilities of our minds into the reality of our world :
beyond any doubt, reality changes in the presence of our focus ;
the more we focus, the greater the change."
"Both science and mysticism describe a force that connects everything together. Both are saying that from within, we each hold the power to influence how matter behaves and reality unfolds simply through the way in which we perceive the world around us."
Gregg used the patterns of sound in water as an analogy for the way our 'beliefs waves' ripple through the quantum stuff of which the universe is made. Without describing exactly how the ripples move, the idea was that the experience we call 'belief' has an effect that extends well beyond our bodies where it's created. In that effect we find our power, says Gregg.
He went on saying "as we learn to hone the quality of our beliefs in very precise ways, we're learning to change the belief waves of disease into healing, the patterns of war into peace, and failure and lack into success and abundance in our world. What could be more powerful ? adds Gregg. What could be more sacred ? Is it any wonder that everything from religions to nations have been built around the power of our beleifs ?
Here are some quotes choosed by Gregg that I loved :
Neville Goddard : we must enter the image (of our heart's desire, our dream, our goal or our answered prayer) and think from it.
William James : if you want a quality in life, act as if you already had it. If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
Neville Goddard : the way to do this is to make your future dream a present fact.
William Blake : man is all imagination. The eternal body of man is the imagination, that is God Himself.
John Mac Kenzie : the distinction between what is real and what is imaginary is not one that can be finely maintained...all existing things are...imaginary.
Gregg Braden : we live in a reflected universe, and we are creating the reflections.
Neville Goddard : all we need to do to transform our imagination into reality is to assume the feeling of our wish fulfilled.
William James : the world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working.
Geoff Heath : we are what we come to believe ourselves to be. To change our beliefs is to change our identities. That's why it's difficult to change our beliefs.
Neville Goddard : all that we experience - literally everything that happens to us or is done by us - is the product of our consciousness and absolutely nothing else.
Gregg Braden : when we ask ourselves to transcend our limitations, what we're really asking is to change our beliefs. And to do so, we need a good reason.
Gautama Buddha : every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body.
These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.
W hen doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies.
These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells.
Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.
A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts.
Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color.
Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract.
Cancer feeds on mucus.
By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.
A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork.
Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.
About 20% can be from cooked food including beans.
Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.
To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day.
Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.
Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties.
Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water.
Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes.
Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering.
By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.
Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.
A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.
Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment.
Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit.
Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.
Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level.
Oxygen therapy is another mea ns employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.
Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.
He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.
This especially applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.
You get the same results, only without the dioxin.
So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.
The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.
As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.
Cover food with paper towel instead.
This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.
Specific - A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six "W" questions: *Who: Who is involved? *What: What do I want to accomplish? *Where: Identify a location. *When: Establish a time frame. *Which: Identify requirements and constraints. *Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, "Get in shape." But a specific goal would say, "Join a health club and workout 3 days a week." Measurable - Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal. To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as... How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished? Attainable - When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals. You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them. When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them. Realistic - To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress. A high goal is frequently easier to reach than a low one because a low goal exerts low motivational force. Some of the hardest jobs you ever accomplished actually seem easy simply because they were a labor of love. Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal. Timely - A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? "Someday" won't work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, "by May 1st", then you've set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal. T can also stand for Tangible - A goal is tangible when you can experience it with one of the senses, that is, taste, touch, smell, sight or hearing. When your goal is tangible you have a better chance of making it specific and measurable and thus attainable.
We are fed this myth in so many different ways and through so many different channels.
There is the prevailing idea that you cannot be yourself and succeed.
You are taught to change yourself to fit a certain ‘standard’, to accept certain ideas… to blend in!
In fact, you are even rewarded for blending in, for losing your natural essence, for dropping your own way.
The rewards are piecemeal.
Often consisting of minor promotions, small raises, stars on sheets of paper.
All the time, the big reward, your life lived in passion, is held at bay, unlived.
Look, you may copy successful ways of life, but you don’t have to stop being yourself.
In fact, being yourself is the best thing you can do for your success.
Accept your strengths and weaknesses, then apply your strengths 100%.
Whatever they may be.
Accept your passions!
Then follow your heart 100%!
Know your natural path and ways, then harmonize that with the world and follow your path.
I am not calling for a rebellion for the sake of rebellion.
That is just as unproductive as conforming.
What I am saying is, be at peace with who you are, leverage your power and passions, learn what you need to learn from those who have succeeded at what you wish to accomplish, then follow your way, and you will succeed so well, and you will be happy because it will be in doing what you love!
BUT WAIT!
Didn’t they tell us, when we were younger, that we can’t just do what we love, that we have to do what we are told, and work in careers selected from a menu that was presented to us when we were too young to know any better?
Yes, they did tell us these things!
And now we believe them, we accept them as facts of life.
La notion de leadership a été pendant longtemps, et encore aujourd’hui dans une multitude d’entreprises, synonyme exclusif de commande et contrôle.
Dans ce cadre, le leader exerce les fonctions de commandement hiérarchique, généralement de manière unilatérale, en donnant des ordres à des exécutants, qui sont ensuite encadrés et contrôlés dans la réalisation de leurs tâches.
La seule relation d’influence entre leader et suiveurs, dans le contexte de commande et contrôle, est basée sur l’autorité du leader d’une part et l’obéissance des suiveurs d’autre part.
Aujourd’hui, les recherches abondantes sur le sujet mettent en évidence une variété de capacités éventuelles du leader à influencer le comportement des autres et les différentes sources possibles d’influence :
Le pouvoir de légitimité qui vient avec la position hiérarchique dans la structure managériale et qui est donné par une autorité supérieure, généralement accompagné par les conditions et les attributs d’autorité ;
Le pouvoir de coercition qui est la capacité de punir les autres quand ils ne s’engagent pas dans les comportements souhaités, tel la critique, la suspension, la lettre d’avertissement, la mauvaise notation, la pression psychologique (harcèlement professionnel et familial), le congédiement ;
Le pouvoir de récompense qui constitue la capacité de contrôler et de procurer des récompenses valorisantes aux yeux des autres, matérielles ou pas, tel une promotion, une augmentation, un bonus, un projet intéressant, une recommandation, un meilleur bureau, un véhicule ou un logement de fonction, des missions à l’étranger ou un programme de formation, des félicitations, des congés ;
Le pouvoir d’expert basé sur le fait de posséder une expertise qui est valorisée par les autres, que ce soit un savoir-faire technique, des connaissances ou une expérience ;
Le pouvoir d’information qui provient de l’accès à des informations importantes pour l’organisation et son avenir, et le contrôle sur sa dissémination ou pas ;
Le pouvoir de référence qui vient du fait d’être apprécié personnellement, d’avoir un esprit d’équipe, de créer une bonne atmosphère, et qui pousse les gens à vouloir suivre votre direction et à vous être loyal.
Ainsi, il existe clairement dans la plupart des entreprises, particulièrement celles avancées, d’autres manières d’influencer les autres que la version « commande et contrôle », celles basées sur des valeurs personnelles intrinsèques (les types de pouvoir classés ci-dessus 4, 5, 6).
De plus, les valeurs personnelles et un pouvoir de légitimité réunis sont plus à même de contribuer à obtenir un engagement fort et volontaire des suiveurs qu’un pouvoir de légitimité couplé à un pouvoir de coercition uniquement.
Nous verrons plus loin qu’en combinant ces différents types de pouvoir (en jouant donc sur plusieurs cordes) et en les modulant selon les conditions, il est possible d’augmenter les facteurs persuasifs auprès des suiveurs.
Il est néanmoins courant, jusqu’à aujourd’hui à notre avis, d’observer dans les entreprises sous-développées que le leader (souvent utilisé de manière interchangeable avec le chef ou le patron), ne tire la plus grande partie de sa légitimité qu’à travers son autorité coercitive, elle-même octroyée par une plus haute autorité (qui peut être d’origine financière, familiale ou spirituelle).
Elle est souvent basée sur la croyance que c’est la seule légitimité que les gens reconnaissent réellement en tant que telle et sont prêts à suivre.
Les qualités personnelles feront qu’il y aura éventuellement plus d’enthousiasme et d’adhésion de la part des suiveurs.
Dès notre plus jeune âge, nous sommes influencés par nos parents, notre famille, nos amis, nos professeurs…, et nous formons une image de nous-même notamment basée sur les attitudes et les opinions de ces personnes vis-à-vis de nous.
Avec le temps, nous accumulons une série de croyances sur nous-même, sur les gens qui nous entourent et sur la vie en général.
Cette perception que nous construisons va déterminer nos comportements, nos attitudes et donc la direction que va prendre notre vie.
Elle va déterminer également comment nous réagissons face aux situations et ce de quoi nous nous sentons capables.
Dans le livre de référence dans le domaine de l’éducation des enfants, « Pygmalion à l’école » de Rosenthal et Jacobson (1968), on décrit une étude où des élèves, normaux, d’une classe sont présentés à leurs professeurs comme étant surdoués et on recommande aux enseignants de stimuler ces enfants intellectuellement pour qu’ils puissent exercer toutes leurs capacités.
Il s’avère alors que les résultats scolaires de ces élèves sont nettement meilleurs que ceux des autres enfants de la classe.
L’attitude très positive des professeurs vis-à-vis de ces élèves « faussement surdoués » développe chez ces enfants la croyance qu’ils ont des capacités supérieures à la moyenne, ce qui les conduit à adopter le comportement idoine pour valider ces croyances.
Ce besoin de cohérence entre l’image que nous transmet la société, celle que nous avons de nous-même et notre comportement se manifeste en toutes circonstances tout au long de notre vie.
Chacun peut réaliser à quel point il est primordial de choisir de façon très judicieuse ces étiquettes que nous nous attribuons et qui déterminent nos performances et créent notre destin.
Nous évoluons donc dans cet espace, que nous avons construit dans notre cerveau et dont les limites sont déterminées par la perception de qui nous sommes, en fait ce dont nous nous sentons responsables.
Ce ne sont pas en fait les événements de notre vie qui déterminent la direction que nous prenons, mais l’interprétation que nous faisons de ces événements.
La plupart des techniques de développement personnel, notamment la PNL et l’analyse transactionnelle, considèrent que l’être humain est essentiellement motivé par deux choses: rechercher les situations qui lui procurent du plaisir et éviter celles qui lui procurent de la douleur.
Toutes les décisions que nous prenons sont basées sur cette relation douleur/plaisir.
Pourquoi par exemple une personne qui veut se remettre en forme physique est très motivée quand elle commence un programme de sport puis très vite abandonne.
Elle veut pourtant se sentir bien et le sport lui procure à terme un bien-être certain mais elle ne persévère pas.
Pourquoi ?
Parce que la douleur associée à l’effort du moment l’emporte sur le plaisir que procurent les bienfaits du sport à plus long terme.
Le fait de se projeter dans l’avenir et visionner son image en meilleure forme physique représente à cet égard l’objectif qui donnera le plaisir ultime recherché et qui mobilisera l’énergie et la motivation nécessaires aux exercices.
Ou bien encore, pourquoi tellement de personnes ont la fâcheuse habitude de remettre au lendemain des choses qu’elles devraient accomplir sur le champ.
Elles reculent l’échéance jusqu’à ce que la pression soit telle qu’elles sont acculées à passer à l’acte.
Pourquoi ne pas ressentir cette pression dès le premier jour ?
Parce qu’elles n’associent pas assez de douleur au fait de ne pas accomplir la tâche sur le moment.
Elles n’ont pas atteint ce seuil critique au delà duquel passer à l’acte est leur seule alternative, parce que ce n’est qu’à ce moment précis que le fait de ne pas passer à l’acte devient trop douloureux.
C’est en comprenant et assimilant l’impact de ce concept plaisir/douleur sur nos comportements, en utilisant les forces porteuses de progrès et en brisant celles qui nous limitent, que nous pouvons produire des changements durables.
Ainsi et seulement ainsi, nous nous donnons le pouvoir d’accéder à un niveau de performance et d’optimisation de nos potentiels.
John Harricharan wrote this inspirational article in his Insight 2000 :
How often do we come to a place in life where we feel there is no hope, no purpose for going on, no anything to live for? Some of us come to this place often while others just visit once in a while. But I am sure, most of us have been there one time or another.
During such times, the pain is intense, the fear is beyond comprehension and the confusion is great. What do we do at such times? Where do we go? Who do we ask for help? Where do we turn?
I have always maintained that there are only three problems in life -- money, health and relationships. Any or all of these three could turn us around from self-confident, happy human beings into fearful, sad and hopeless underlings.
But there is always hope, always help if we can clear our heads, still our minds and listen to the deep calm voice that comes from somewhere deep within us. This voice has always been there and it will continue to be there. All we have to do is listen.
By being quiet within and listening to the guidance that comes from our soul, we will be led to take the right actions, meet the right people, ask the right questions and find the perfect solution to the problem which haunts us.
The story is told of a prophet of God who was visiting a small town. It is an ancient story and holds a secret to solving all our problems. In that town lived a woman whose husband had died and left her with tremendous debts.
In those days, if you were unable to pay your debts, the creditor took your children as bond servants until the debt was paid. The woman was beside herself with fear and anxiety. She had two sons whom she loved dearly and could not think of losing them.
In a rare moment of quiet, she had the insight to meet the prophet as he came to town and to ask his advice. So as the man of God approached, she ran up to him and told him of her plight.
As I sit here writing this, I can almost see the tired face of the woman as the prophet looked at her and asked her what is it that she wanted. She told him about the death of her husband and about the creditors who were about to come and take her sons away. She explained how times were hard and how she had no money to pay. She seemed to be at the end of her rope.
The holy man had compassion on her and asked, "What do you have in the house?"
"Nothing, O man of God," she replied, "except a small pot of olive oil."
"Go," said the prophet, "You and your sons, and borrow as many pots as you can. Then take the pots into your house, close the door and pour the oil you have into them."
Surely she must have thought him mad, but nevertheless, she did as he suggested. And then the miracle occurred. The pot of oil she had, filled all the pots she had borrowed and only when all were filled did the oil stop flowing.
She went back and thanked the man of God, who said to her, "Now, go sell the oil. You will have enough to repay your creditors and to live comfortably."
This story was taken from the book of Second Kings, chapter 4 and it carries a simple message for all of us. When besieged by problems that seem insurmountable, stop, be quiet and ask yourself this question: "What do I have in the house?"
You may not think that you have anything, but you would be wrong. Each and every one of us has a "pot of oil". It may appear insignificant to us most times, but it is still our pot of oil. Our "pot of oil" might be our ability to sing, to write, to fix a car, to do Internet marketing, to comfort others, to communicate brilliantly, to pray deeply, to heal others ? whatever it is, let's not ignore it.
Trust that you are a child of the universe with all the help you need. You were not just thrown here on a seemingly inhospitable planet that has seen its share of pain, sadness, terror, poverty, distrust and all negative things. We are not trapped by the ups and downs of the Dow Jones average, or the numbers on the 401k. We are not slaves to the economy nor are we horrid creatures to be punished for our past failings, although we can choose to believe any or all of these.
We are bright, beautiful children of this space-time and we have within us a "pot of oil" that no one else has. We are unique in all of Eternity. Let us discover this "pot of oil" and use it to bring us joy, peace and all good things.
Do not be afraid or too proud to ask others for help. There is another powerful saying that goes like this: "Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find and knock and it shall be opened unto you."
An old man I met by the sea one day, long ago, said to me, "Go to God first and then to man as God directs." I never forgot his words of wisdom. Approach your God with hope and trust. Then listen for the guidance, which is always there. Follow the guidance and your "pot of oil" will overflow into all areas of your life.
Do not take my word for it. All you have to do is try it for yourself. You'll be amazed how seemingly impossible problems disappear as the mists before the morning sun. Look deep within you and then look way beyond you. And remember, to solve your problems quickly, help others solve theirs.
A great part of success depends on attitude and the proper balance of mind, body and spirit.
Some of John's articles such as "A Little Used Business Secret", "On becoming Rich" and "Seven Tips to Help You Transform Your Business" are packed with little-known or little-used internet marketing secrets.
His site is by no means a "Get-Rich-Quick" solution to becoming wealthy on the Internet.
Success takes work -- not hard work, but smart work.
John hopes to help you work smarter by sharing with you some things that have helped him to make a decent living on the Internet.

My new friend Akbar NOUR,Smoothjazznow.com's Contributing Editorsaid about Nabil KHEMIR :
Nabil KHEMIR is a talented guitarist/'oud' (Arabic lute) player, singer and composer from Tunisia, blending Western and Arabic influences in his music.
He started to play when he was nine years old, receiving an oud for his birthday.
He carried on fostering his musical skills with Tunisian oud master Ali Sriti and started to perform regularly with local orchestras, while listening to jazz giants such as John Coltrane, John McLaughlin and George Benson.
Being immersed in both Western and Oriental musical cultures, KHEMIR decided to create in 2004 a hybrid instrument, called "Ray Jam", a custom double neck oud/electric guitar.
This unique instrument was assembled both in Tunisia and the Netherlands.
As the musician puts it: "The first part of the word, "Ray", I chose it, because the "Rayjam" gives off/clears a ray like the sun.
An energy I feel while playing it.
The second part, "Jam", I chose it, because the lute and guitar are jamming together when I play".
After having gained huge success in his home country, the artist came to the USA in 2007 and won an Honor Award at the 8th Annual Great American Song Contest for his tune "Parfum d'Orient et d'Occident" (Western and Oriental Fragrance).
This award enabled KHEMIR to seal a deal with an American jazz record company "Blue Canoe Records" and he released his debut album, "Ray Jam", in September 2007.
This delightful CD includes five original compositions and arrangements (his hit "Parfum d'Orient et d'Occident", "Hanin", "Nadam", "Gitane" and "Hkaya"), blending in a masterful way Nabil KHEMIR's Arabic-Andalusian musical heritage, contemporary jazz and Tunisian rythms.
Therefore, do not hesitate to listen carefully to fusion artist Nabil KHEMIR, for whom "the Rayjam is an instrument that permits to make travel all musical styles all over the world and to unify those who listen to it."
