Preparation

In business what is preparation . How robust is the preparation. In metaphysical law the ancients called it digging your ditches. A farmer tills the soil to plant corn, corn is returned, if he tills the soil plants carelessly and plants deadly nightshade he gets deadly nightshade in return and not corn. Be aware of the seasons, in other words timing, the seasons of the business world.

Preparation the corner stone , the foundation of business whatever business one is in. Sustainability of a business comes from solid foundation. Once sitting in the cotton field sat a boll weevil, the farmer challenged the boll weevil. " Nothing is a problem, just a challenge looking for a home" replied the boll weevil.

Face the challenges, let go the past, bless the future , live fully the now. Whatever the challenge, break it down to manageable sizes. Hence one step at a time.

Focus on the direction, no ship sets sail without setting the course and compass. The point of being in business is profitability, profits gives you choices.

An accountant once said. " It was not raining when Nohah built the Ark, the Ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals." Take the opportunity to listen to top advisers, but take control, take responsibility and make your business work.

Be not like "shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic" Faith and Hope are not accounting data but preparation ( planning ) in action, essential oil to the wheel as profit ( money ) is essential to move the business forward and is the second best thing to oxygen.

Money is a means of transaction, as was 1lb of flour for 1lb of salt. Rejoice the energy in business given out, rejoice in the return to enable choices.

Communication

Communication under the umbrella of the metaphysical law is essential as the heart beat in any living soul. Mankind for the 21st century communication speed is almost instant, with the technology available.

The conveyor of good news or information is readily welcomed, so should the conveyor of news that is perceived as bad news or information. As the law for giving and receiving is the principle behind life in action. Giving out and receiving.

What is the law of giving and receiving. Giving out whatever it is whatever the purpose it will return. Some through foolish pride or negative reasoning when receiving for example will refuse a gift thereby blocking the channel of the law. Freely you have given freely you shall receive. Be gracious.

Unwelcoming news should be blessed, do not hide from it. Like Daniel stood in the den with the lions, walk up to your fears and they will be stilled. Demand of money, demand of a business situation, demand of a domestic situation, give love and bless the situation giving it love.

Face the lions of your day with love in your heart, do not hide. Be open to communicate, answer the letter, answer the question, state your views.

Communication is how you serve the waking world, ask "who do you serve fear or faith?"

Justice what role does it play in Life today?

The ancient Greek word for "just" depending on the context , it can mean honest, legally correct, obligated, fair, pious, equity, punishment, to name a few possibilities.

Plato views on justice was integrity. Plato's answer to the question of justice "Why should I be a person of integrity"

Integrity meaning being whole and the many possibilities to name a few , four corners, wholeness, Alpha and Omega , integrality, like those that pursue physical fitness integrity is the psychological counterpart.

Psychological integration or integrated life is one of whole and justice. Metaphysical law applied or existentialism is the key to understanding justice, integration, the psychological health part of the human being , contributing to the whole human being.

Health and well being to the soul, when one says disease, break it down to dis - ease, when part of the whole human being is at ill- of -ease psychologically, physically, soul and the psychiatric components break down. Life itself moves in it's own court active constantly for justice and integrity.

Shadow Behind the Door

Shadow Behind the Door. Criss-cross filtered sun light struggled through the wires of an unbreakable window reflecting like strips of golden paper on the wall of the dark cell.

Shadow Behind the Door played noughts and crosses on the golden paper. Standing naked in the challenge of the dark cell. Challenge to survive. Challenge to keep the mind alert interested in life. Although life itself seemed a distant memory stolen by the robbers of the night.

Shadow Behind the Door finished the game crouched in the corner a tiny physical ball to keep warm. Midday sun floods the dark cell with strong broken light Shadow Behind the Door stands bathing in it's warmth imagining standing in a golden cloak of loving warmth.

Rising above Engineer Punishment , Shadow Behind the Door develops Pavlovian responses . Shadow Behind the Door kind to the dog , understanding, Engineer Punishment recklessly stealing time , the right to privacy, right to communicate, right to be informed, right to legal advice, right to visits, the right not to be treated in a cruel, inhumane degrading manner, or punished in a way that was cruel disproportionate severe treatment that was excessive enough to shock the communal conscience by it's extreme nature.

Fiduciary Duty sat at the gate of the mental institution without a care. Hippocratic Oath fought to get in and break free Shadow Behind the Door to take flight to a affordable place of sanctuary, afford to be free , a place of free choice.

The day was won and Shadow Behind the Door free . Dark Cell follows ringing the bell of incarceration Shadow Behind the Door retreats to being inside out.

Scales of Justice tightened her blindfold as Shadow Behind the Door shows the book of questions how does one measure human pain, physical, psychological, psychiatric. How to give back a life-time robbed.

Sabbatical

The woman is a psychologist, author, management consultant, existential psychotherapist.

Existential psychotherapy is a form of therapy a corner stone in philosophy more than psychology. Law of the mind.

Metaphysical law is a form of spiritual law of science present and absence science.
In the mixing bowl of life are all these laws.

Myths enter life, people identify to language that identifies spaces and places. The woman who is the psychologist, author, management consultant, existential psychotherapist roams globally with work/life balance living a full free life by choice appears to be outside the normal operation of a successful business.

To satisfy some enquiry to those of no conscience awareness of the myths of life they actually live in, to demonstrate by language the word Sabbatical is used. That is a word that one relates to and fits nicely in the mental box. Comfortable. Take it out of the box and examine the woman mentioned what part of your life have you set goals, objectives, the question is, is this a destination or a journey.?

Pressure to achieve goals, objectives , often lead to mental crushing defeat, understanding all laws integrating them by application to your life making it a journey. Be consciously aware of the myths of life that one lives with. No goal or objective, not reached is not a failure however a success . For what is not meant to be will vanish, what is meant to be will appear.

Understanding, work/life balance, integration, existential laws, metaphysical law, spiritual law.
A handbook as a daily travelling companion " The Myths of Life and the Choices We Have " by Clare Mann plus her many other works, an extension for her Sabbatical life , freely gives you a front door step back into your life. Once home cuddle up to the warm embers of your mental fireplace .

You have eyes do not be blind, you have ears do not be deaf.

Crumbs

A fat man sat at a huge table, filled with food he gorged on, crumbs on the floor. A man with a starving family crawled in and stole the crumbs. Which one is the thief?

A man works hard but his pay for an honest weeks work does not cover the basics of life to support his family, who is the thief .?

Thieves of time, of reward, of life, the robbers along the highway of life. A country with law, upholding the law, if the metaphysical law of conscience awareness of treating the work-force
an honest weeks work for an honest weeks pay that cares for the family, the extension of that principle, items purchased that supports business.

Rob the man, rob the business. Robs the country.

Sir Edmund Hillary's Passing

Aluminium Cans

Silver grey, corrosion-resistant,
Coke can,
Saw a man with hammer in
Hand,
Small girl without arms
Patiently waited.
Nepal hills quiet
Resting land,
Patiently waited.
Father passed by on the road to heaven,
Old oxygen bottles fashioned into bells,
Rang farewell.
Aluminium cans.

Value of Philosophical Quotes/Sayings

Any traveller of life who listens will hear philosophical quotes or sayings from teachers of life. That is from the philosopher or the counsel sought or the psychologists.

What is the importance of these such things. ? A story , quote or saying to the thinker is thought provoking. The meaning behind. The purpose of how to put in action, or demonstration of the ordinary day for example. " For all the work, at the end of the day there is always the laundry" or " The river cannot move the mountain, but a drop of water can." Solomon said ; "With all you are getting, get understanding.", Understanding is the spiritual law, metaphysical law in action. Heremes Trismegistus said several thousand years ago, " To change your mood you must change your vibrations." Today it is said " Paradigm, Mental Shift, being Positive, etc."

The saying "Be careful for what you wish for" Be aware of the spoken word as it will return. Be consciously aware of thought, the spoken word and actions in the day so is the wise man.

Once upon a time two monks were sent from the monastery to a city far away. One monk was elderly and considered very wise, the other monk young, learning and eager. Part of their strict vows was that they never talk or touch a woman.

On the long journey through fields, forests ,using the staff each had to lean on or push back the bush, they came across a raging river they had to cross however the bridge had been washed away. Testing the depth and speed of the river with their staff the decision was made to cross and continue the journey to the city.

As the younger monk proceeded to wade into the river, he and the older monk heard weeping. Looking up the river bank saw a young woman with a small girl child. The woman with the small girl child approached the monks begging to be carried across the river to get home as there was no other way across and dangerous to attempt alone.

The young monk ignored the woman and girl child, crossed the river, upon looking back to his surprise saw the old monk balancing himself with care crossing the river with the small girl child in one arm and the woman on his back. When the old monk reach the safety of the other side, he put down the young girl child and woman, without a word continued his journey to the city.

Many miles later the two monks had walked in silence however the young monk boiled with confusion and anger. The old monk had broken his vows, how dare he. Finally the young monk unable to contain his feelings any longer with anger vented them to the old monk.

"How could you carry that woman and girl child "

" I carried God, is God not all things,? it is you that has carried the woman and girl child, they are still on your back, I left God on the river bank."

"Explain that !!" The older monk with a twinkle in his eye replied " I will tell you a story, a young monk just like you was once on a journey, walking along the road on a wonderful warm sunny day, he heard a voice.

Startled he asked, Who are you Voice, Voice said, "I am God", Where are you God enquired the young monk looking around. Voice said, "You are God, I am God in all livings things" Excited the young monk half listening and not being wise skipped along the road shouting to all that could hear him 'I am God."

On the same road a while later an elephant was coming towards the young monk. The driver sitting on top of the elephant called out to the young monk in the middle of the small road "Out of the way, move over" Hmm thought the young unwise monk why should I move I am God. Approaching, the driver, of the elephant, again yelled at the monk to get out of the way. The young monk held his path as the elephant came closer, the young monk stood steadfast in the middle of the road. The elephant wrapped his trunk around the young monk and threw him unceremoniously into the dusty ditch at the side of the road. Shaken and cross at the elephants actions the young monk stood up, yelled at the elephant "How dare you I am God' The elephant turned his head and quietly said "So am I, you should have listened''

Voice quietly spoke through the dust " I am God, you are God, God is in all things , wisdom is listening, respect, seeing God in all things."

Training

To quote " We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be re-organised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by re-organising, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while only producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralisation."

Petronius Arbiter, AD 66

Captains of industry expectation of the work force is the production of that industry. Production creates sales that create profit for the continuuum of that industry, with return to the share-holder.

Training of the work force in any given industry what is the purpose.? For the worker is it like as quoted above. ?

Shifting the paradigm encapsulate the whole human being, intergration of work-life. How well is the man at the coal face rewarded. If those at the top of the ladder forget to care for those on the bottom rungs the ladder will surely crumble.

Wisdom

Wisdom, that of the wise, wisdom alone is a science of all other science and of itself. Wisdom is the science of science and the science of the absence of science.

Hind-sight, is wisdom looking backwards. Being wise after the event.

Science is the intellectual practical activity systematically encompassing the study of any structure, behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

Absence science is wisdom looking forward. Metaphysical Law is the science applied of knowledge ( wisdom) to the now, from knowledge past to looking forward. Belief is having faith . Faith is the science of the wise looking forward.

A wise Man knows himself and be able to examine what he knows and does not know. See what others know and do not know. This is knowledge. The arm of scientific law that is in all things.

How is it applied? procedure, what happens? process , what does it look like? it is the structure, what is it? it is the concept, what are the rules? principle applied, what are the facts? facts, what kinds are there? classification . What is this?, knowledge.

Disappointment

Disappointment, what does this really mean. Expectations not realised. Expectations of others create the disappointment. The question is where does the expectations come from. From ones own self. Expectations of others come in a variety of ways, for example setting a task for a work colleague who does not fulfill the task to your expectation. Disappointed.

To avoid disappointment is to realise the only expectations are within yourself of your own behaviour, taking self responsibility, knowing you are not responsible for some-ones else's action, success or failure. Your life is but a contribution.

Disappointment is a perception of expectations, man-kind asleep , Adamic dreaming man on the tree of illusion.

The awakened man guards thoughts of one condition the condition of good, positive and never disappointed, a superconscious awake , sharp as a surgeons knife understanding the true meaning 'as one door closes another one opens, the one that opens, nail back'

Donation

The Latin from 'donare' to give. from 'donum' to gift. Why does donation, gift, give, a contribution, play such an important role in life . It is metaphysical law in action.

Choosing to act in such a way is the art of 'to give , is to receive'. There are many reasons to why one gives and to what. An act of love, an act of support to a good cause.

Donation is expressed in many ways, a helping hand up, giving time and energy, or sharing wealth as in money. Whatever the contribution the benefits are the free choice to support the structure of life one believes in. The reward is the continued existence of that structure. A charitable act that benefits mankind.

If one gives it will return, not maybe in what was given, however being conscious of the metaphysical law, look at your life for the gifts you have received.

Receiving is a gift, the art of being joyful in what you receive as this is the metaphysical law in action. Balancing of the scales of what was given. Reflect on the statue The Scales of Justice. So is life.

Time standing still

Daisen comment. Article Cause and Effects. " How can one take time and stand still? What if time is an illusion? If so can we ever be still or are we all-ways still? Maybe it is just choice? "

Answer ; Time Standing Still

The question 'How can one take time and stand still' for every question there is an answer for every answer there is a question. As it has been for all time. The measure of man kind called progress. Standing still in time, what is standing still?

What if time is an illusion? if so can we ever be still or are we always still. Maybe it is just a choice?

Time is an illusion, there is no time, time is a calculated event by man to measure through the seasons for planting, growing, new life and winter the rest. To stand still is the stepping out of today's time set by mankind of visual reality by watches, clocks etc to the micron second... stand still allowing your mind and body rest without time. If we were always still nothing would move, it is a fine line in asking the question and living in removed sense of reality. The question could be you living in the question which is your existence.

Stand by your car, stand on the beach, sit on the park bench, watch , listen to the world around you be consciously aware of the universe conversation. Just do not look at your modern day watch.


The ancients once said...and believed ( faith) all mental states were accompanied by vibrations...
What are you listening to, listening is not just with your ears, listen to your mental state some call it intuition or a hunch. The best time to hear is when you sit quietly still.

Now is the appointed time. Today is the day for your amazing good fortune. Stand still.

It is your choice.. your state of consciousness.

Cause and Effects

For every action there is a reaction, or every cause has its effects, every effect has its cause, everything happens according to law.

What is Chance? Did a situation happen by chance? Chance is but a name for the law not recognized. Chance is being unconscious to the movement of existence. Existentialism a philosophical theory which emphasises the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent. A free and responsible agent is consciously aware that there is choice and by choosing the cause there is an expectation of resultant effect.

What is the law? Metaphysical law , the unseen law that lives beside you everyday. In your spoken word and deeds. There are many levels of causation but nothing escapes the law.

The understanding of the opening line applied to your everyday takes wisdom and discipline.

Stop and think, in other words take time to stand still. Standing still lets the mind rest gently weigh up your thoughts, that will bring you to a fork in the road. Choose one and let the other go.

Metaphysical Law

Metaphysical Law, how does this play a role in your life. Metaphysics is the wisdom of ancients. There should be a chair in all schools / university's to study this. It is as important today as it was centuries ago. However over time philosophy shrouded by a blanket of theology the art of metaphysical law became swallowed in the dark halls of obscurantism.

Biblical quote of "do not cast the pearls before the swine" holds a wealth of wisdom associated to the word secret. A word seen today over and over in advertising, books all claiming "Discover the Secret" what is the secret. What happened to the hermetic seal of philosophy. Thrown open before the "swine" no longer a secret as it was for many of the ancients embattled with theologians. Their way to be the only way , whereas the way is many roads. Hermes Triismegistus from where the Hermetic Seal or secret derives from is the heart of metaphysical law as said in the Kybalion "The lips of wisdom are closed, except the ears of understanding."

It is said " Every cause has its effects; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law" ( The Kydalion)

What is the purpose of being secret. Not casting the pearls before the swine, is it a conscious choice of self responsibility. How does one adopt wisdom, philosophy,theology in everyday life of choices. The fork in the road.

Further dialogue is welcomed. Just email me with your question. By way of a donation (note donation box) a full powerful answer will be returned.

Meaning of Life?

Meaning of Life? A question many ask and indeed search for. What does life mean to you. What is your purpose in life is the question. It has been suggested meaning was once given, handed down by our "elders and betters ". Through the ages so it has, a discipline to give order or governance across all race, colour or creed, people accepted, direction and purpose to the individuals lives their contribution within that structure was the meaning of life.. Picasso painting the agony of Spain. Charles Dickens portraying the real England promoting social change, I could write an endless list the point being the artists expression or the writers, is extensions beyond the self, through the works raising conscious awareness.

As a US President stated "Do not ask your country what it can do for you, ask what can I do for my country" in other words be responsible for yourself.

I have a saying "ABC" Action, Behaviour, Consequences. It is your action that is your behaviour therefore it is your consequence. This can be applied in any situation.

The meaning of life is within you, asking the question. We live in a world of great beauty and wealth for all to share if the conscious awareness is raised by the captains of industry/government the face of the workplace changes, social structure for the betterment of mankind. The key is self responsibility that becomes global responsibility giving the meaning to life.

Live in the question for infinite possibilities, if your attitude changes that is positive then things around you change so is the excitement and thrilling act of being human just being consciously aware.
