Just For Today, I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything outside of me to my own desires. I will take my "luck" as it comes, and fit myself to it. I will become in the words of Eckhart Tolle, "transparent to" outside annoyance.
Just For Today, I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said: "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be". I will truly live the Law of Attraction that states that what we send out returns to us tenfold, and spread happiness and contentment wherever I go. For what I send out, will return to me.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s "Just For Today"
Come one, come all, to the new Quantum Bazaar MediaStore! After the thirtieth person in a row asked me for a recommend to good NLP and Energy Therapy books, I created my own list of books have personally read and recommend that links directly to Amazon.com reviews. You can read all about each book, CD and DVD, read a few pages of the books you’re interested in, what those who have purchased it have to say, and expand your library right from the store here:

Creating the "Spiritual Expanders" section of the MediaStore I chose as inspiration Eckhart Tolle’s Findhorn Retreat, and enjoyed a repeat listening of it as I worked. Doing web work really can take you deeper into consciousness…or out of it, depending. I marvelled at how swiftly one falls out of consciousness into the place we think is conscious but is only the illusion of what-is. The simplest things bring us back to consciousness. Breathing…the rise and fall of the chest and abdomen…seeing the gleam of quiet love in a kitten’s eyes and truly connecting…a lone leaf fluttering soundlessly through crisp air to the forest floor, speaking to you…the beat of your own heart.
Consciousness is quiet and self-contained. It does not thrive in those beginning to awaken, in busy crowded situations, in jangling and noisy environments. If you are just beginning a practice of conscious wakefulness, try meditating on a quiet environment or alone in nature. Observe what in your environment is the most "alive". And how you are connected with all that is living.
That which is connecting, that which is perceiving, is the true "you".

Shockingly, the site states: 7212964 people have been diagnosed with breast cancer since 5/11/01. My mother, grandmother and aunt died of it. I don’t intend to. Educate Yourself!
I’m replying to a comment Elizabeth made on the previous post about Women, Math and scientific ability. (BTW, you’re welcome to comment on ANY of my posts folks!) *** *** *** *** Hi Elizabeth, thanks for posting your story of the lesbian transsexual. Libido and math ability enhanced on male hormones, interesting! (but probably not suprising) I heard a geneticist on the radio a few months ago say that while all babies start out female in the womb, a wave of testosterone is released that masculinizes boy fetuses and also wipes out up to 70% of the communications center, among other areas in the brain. He likened the effects of testosterone to acid saying it could well be used as a weed killer, of all things.
I also think of the sex and the brain research I read in grad school in the early 80s. One thing that stuck with me that I read - in primitive tribal times, by virtue of biology, women looked after the children and needed to be aware of spatial relationships only as they concerned the space between toddling children and dangers such as a cave mouth or open fire for instance. Their use for such a spatial/relational skill was minimal however, and children were comparatively slow moving targets. They had a greater need to know what was going on socially to keep interactions peaceful to maintain the status quo for the stability of the whole tribe. The conclusions at the time were that this was how women developed intuitive, creative answers to problems.
In contrast, the men who went out hunting and gathering needed immense pattern recognition skills to tell friend from foe, when dangerous animals or geographical situations were present or imminent and the like. They had little need for social skills except to communicate around the needs of the hunt. This they theorized, was how men evolved logical, spatially oriented coping skills. (and yes, I realize this is a greatly, greatly over-simplified overview)
It seems like a reasonable theory to me, and as a woman or man, I’d not feel demeaned by it. Even in the lifespan of one person, they will develop new skills in relation to their occupation, geographical locale and the like. It’s a reasonable surmise. So to conclude, I see nothing wrong with acknowledging thousands of years of evolution that play towards men having a better shot at being math geniuses, women at being therapists for instance… but then there are always exceptions to that seeming rule.
And of them are women like Sophie Germain, a natural exception, who contributed significantly to solving Fermat’s last theorum by playing a man to do so. (www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/proof/germain.html) And take your pick of famous male therapists.
There is also a lot to be said for nature versus nurture. Until very recently, girls were not given all the educational opportunities boys were. Boys were taught a certain curriculum and girls, another, if they were taught at all. That curriculum certainly did not include the sciences. Until very recently in historic time. Many of the female savants that have come through the ages usually had a parent or other authority figure actively tutoring them or otherwise allowing free access to knowledge in the "male" domain.
It will be interesting for future writers several hundred years from now to look back upon this period and note all of the women AND men who excelled in professions heretofore barred to their sex, which have sprung from the 20th century on forward.
What might we all do, when unbound from the conventions of society - and even more, from the limits of our own belief systems?
The possibilities are literally, endless.

Namasté…
I truly detest few things in life, but cigarette smoke is one of them. I grew up under the tutelage of a shamanic practitioner who revered tobacco too much to ever smoke it, and on the rare occasion he did, it was certainly never casually. And of that handful of times, tobacco smoke was always an offering to Spirit or for a healing purpose. My Grandmother Mimi, an herbal healer, used tobacco juice as an effective and natural insecticide and a poultice of fresh tobacco leaves for arthritis pains. Grandfather Bampa, the pharmacist, prescribed a tobacco leaf and clove poultice for toothaches.
These are respectful and honest uses of a powerful herb that most healers and indigenous peoples regard as a poison to be taken in small quantities if at all. Cigarette smoking, the way most of the world has been indoctrinated, is an unhealthy and potentially fatal way to be in relationship with the powerful herb tobacco.
In this recent press release, Gary Craig, inventor of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), speaks of its power to free individuals from the tremendously addictive properties of tobacco and more - to relieve the emotional roots of the problems people use tobacco and other drugs to escape:
An easy to learn acupressure technique
could curb the tobacco-related death toll. Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT) addresses the root of cigarette addictions, believed to be
unresolved emotional issues. Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer
who developed EFT, explains, “In my experience working with smokers for
more than a decade, they use cigarettes to tranquilize emotions. But
conventional smoking cessations programs do not address smoking
addictions at the emotional level.”
EFT claims an 80% success
rate in reducing these emotional issues and a curbing of addictive
urges are the frequent result. It can be learned freely here:
