Money is Power
Plain and simple. Money = power. Money, in many ways, equals the unnable force of the divine, manifested on the earthly plane. I have come to realize this by the simple act of possessing large amounts of money. In the grand scheme of things, the money I have had the luxury of possessing isn't even all that large; but compared to how I felt when I was scrambling for resources to sustain myself, now that I have the resource game [...]
Retaining relaxation
The key, I have found, is to maintain a cool head no matter what happens. Epictetus said that we have no control over our external circumstances. All we can control is our reaction to those circumstances. My manager called to say that the Windows upgrade which was originally scheduled for today, and cancelled, is now happening. All of my data is likely lost on my work computer. Can I get in right away, or call him with my password? If [...]
Feeling sickness
It is an odd experience, feeling sick and being cognizant of your own manifestation abilities. I can now see how being sick is a stiff roadblock in my ability to get things manifested according to my vision; I am drowned in a series of negative emotions. My body hurts, my energy is sapped, and my reactions are irritable in nature. While in such a state, is it any wonder I am having trouble manifesting? […]

I am getting a massage from my massage chair, typing on my new mac, with a belly full of beef stew and a happy body that has been exercised strongly for the past few months. I am preparing to move into a period of intense physical [...]
Watering the wine
I find it ironic that I now enjoy watered wine. The ancient Greeks, the culture that I studied for most of my higher education, thought it was strange when barbarians would drink their wine unmixed with water. (Barbarians, it must be noted, was a term inclusive of all non-Greeks. They all made funny sounds when they talked, "bar-bar-bar.") Socrates mixed water into his wine bowl, and I had never tried the practice myself, until I got a bottle of cheap [...]
Goal checking
Absent a journal that I like to carry around with me every day, I am finding myself without the handy habit of writing down my goals regularly. So now I am going to just spout off some of my goals. I want to be an elite-level athlete by my son's birthday, March 9. I want to be in the best shape of my life, I want to have a solid graceful backflip, and I want to be exercising for at [...]
