This morning I stumbled again upon a video of Tellman Knudson titled “Sexual Transmutation”, and I wanted to share it here with you for several reasons. Please note, this video is not geared toward sex and it goes about something much deeper that is buried within each one of us. It’s about the strongest of desires and how to re-rout it and get the motivation that is lacking, and shifting the flow of energy so that you achieve what you want. You will become an unstopable force, finally…
Of course, after watching it I re-read chapter 11 of “Think and Grow Rich” and am planning to try this out for myself. And if you lack enthusiasm with your work, and with the achievement of your goals, than by all means - go and try this out for yourself
Sooner or later in life we all have to make some radical choices. Imagine now that you have only two options to choose from.
Option #1: Forget about your interests and what you like doing and embark in a business which you know you hate doing but the money issues are getting worse than ever and you have no other ways of earning that much, or at least as much as you need to be earning and meet all your expenses.
Option #2: You keep doing what you are doing and keep hoping that somehow, and soon you will be earning the kind of money that you need.
So, these are the options that you have and the decision you take is a lasting one.
According to the Law of Attraction (The Secret) - people’s thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) dictate the reality of their lives, whether understand it.
Is it possible that instead of creating a life filled with all the blessings you’re looking for - you are creating the one pushing you to make the choice described above?
And what about the teachings of most business Guru’s: While working on something that you love - you will succeed because working on what you love will be pleasurable and will keep you involved always? How come you haven’t been successful at all while doing what you love to do?
Think now of the famous quote of Einstein: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Making a choice is actually less freedom than many of us think. There are options to choose from but choosing you shall. The option of not making a choice is not there. Or is it?
Would really love to hear your opinions and views on the above.
And if you were wondering how come I am not posting more often - due to health issues I’ve been off line for longer than a month. Will post as often as I can and wishing you a splendid week ahead and may you always make the right choices
Have you ever wondered how come we humans react so much more, and with so much more passion to the negative or shocking news than to the positive and uplifting? What is it that makes us crave for the worst instead of the best? Because of it - I feel so repelled by people that are using their negativity to spread it around as some kind of disease, a virus of hate… And for sometime now I am ending relationships with anyone who is spreading negativity and bad feelings around. As I wish NOT to be “sickened” by them, and help spread unknowingly perhaps, this virus.
No matter what I do, or am trying to do however, these folks do seem to thrive and go on with whatever they are trying to achieve. Take as example the blog review about “Totallly-Useless” that was posted today on BlogCatalog.com:
Robert Said:
The word philosophy is from the Greek..philo love Sophia wisdom. A lover of wisdom or more to the point a searcher for absolute truths. You cannot have a personal philosophy only a personal viewpoint, as absolute truths are not personal by definition.

This “Robert UK” figure did not even have a blog submitted on BlogCatalog, and yet, he came there and trashed with his “rating of a mere 1″ this blog.
Besides, who is he, this anonymous Robert UK, to come to tell me that there is no such thing as a “personal philosophy” but only a “personal view point?” And is it not that on my own blog I can call things as I decide to call them? And having a “personal philosophy” is very much part of it… No matter what such Robert’s of UK decide to rate my blog with
Another example of how the Negative is getting more attention than the Positive are the amounts of people checking for such news stories, and when they find them, be it online, or on TV, or in newspapers, they have no time or attention left for all the positive news stories there. Research has shown time and time again the people feel more alive, and energized when they can react strongly on a negative story than in the same manner to a positive one. How come? Because the negative is feeding us with hormones that make us feel ready to fight, or ready to start a tirade with strong words. The positive on the other hand makes us relax and enjoy whatever we are reading, or hearing, or viewing. When we feel at piece we could easily be alone and feel great. On the other hand - negativity needs company, and makes us search for an audience with which we could share how upset we are. Perhaps we humans need the stress more than we need happiness and bliss. And if this is indeed so, I do refuse to be part of it…
And, than I think that making my point won’t be a problem. Trying to stop myself from elaborating on every possible detail - well, that might be.
What is “absolutely out of the question” you might ask. The expectance of a straight answer from particular folks is… So, that alone should answer it for you.
I was planning to post several times in the last week but due to circumstances I couldn’t. And I was fighting with folks as described here above, and I was fighting with my own procrastination and unwillingness to get down to it and write. The 2nd part of myself, the negative one, was winning on all fronts, and my 1st me, the positive one, was too overwhelmed by the “bad me” to be able to fight it.
The photo here above was meant to be posted on the 08-08-08, however, as I explained above it did not happen. It was chosen to be displayed on an article talking about the opening of the Olimpics in China and I did submit there. The 8-8-8 was a very special day for especially the light workers. It is expected that many more “doors” will open on this particular day, and more, much more magic will start happening all around Earth. I really hope this is true as I am in need of more magic into my own life, and the life of my loved once…
And with this photo here I am leaving you until my next post. A friend of mine wrote about it the following:”THIS IS A TEST for “humanity”. the comp, angle , colors and DOF have set so well that this is a mood spinner…”. So I hope it will bring you joy, as this is what it was meant for
Even though I am so exhausted and have difficulties staying awake I wanted to post and let you know that I am still planning to go on with my blog(s). If you are following my Flickr account and see the daily uploaded photos, my partner uploaded them and not me, and he has been the one doing it for almost 3 months now. As for me, I have the flu due to getting soaked under the rain, and I was able to get under the hot shower it was already too late. In any case, the fever is down now but I am sleeping for the most part of the day as my body is demanding it.
The question in the title has to do with the latest uploaded photo of mine that I wanted to share with you. A break triggered it - between me and a girl-friend. I am not about to discuss why I had to end the friendship, but rather the exact opposite. So, here is my question, have you ever helped any one to fly? Helped in whatever way, and in any type of relationship - have you helped and stood by someone who was depressed? Or did you help another person to become better in whatever they are striving for? Or did you do exactly the opposite, and later blamed yourself for having acted nasty instead of being friendly and helpful? It will be really great to get some answers on the questions here above.
Today I received an email from Jason Mangrum where he was telling about the latest song of his wife Skye. She is so very talented and beautiful young woman and I was filed with admiration for her ability to sing and write her songs herself. And have to agree with Jason that she is indeed with so many talents, and it will not surprise me if she becomes a star next to being in the marketing, and busy with helping people getting an understanding of the spiritual world. Enjoy her video and I will try to post again soon. And have a great week ahead
Kind of strange post this one will be, however, I did it on purpose to pose the question as the title without letting you know beforehand what it is all about.
The question was referring to - do WE hold Destiny in our hand, or is it the other way around, that Destiny is holding us in her hand?
Most people that I know, believe in karma, and in destiny, and so do I. Years ago I also believed that karma and destiny are un-changeable, and once set up by the Creator we might as well give all hope fare that we could ever change what was set up for us. My earlier belief in regards to the above has changed considerably lately, and now I belief that we do hold Destiny in our hand.
Imagine how you would feel when you discover that you are holding your Destiny in your own hand. Somewhere deep inside your heart you know it. Yet, you don’t trust the feeling entirely simply because you have been made to believe differently. And you’ll need some kind of solid proof to convince you otherwise. I believe that most people are presented with the possibility to find that out, and be it sooner, or be it later - it will come for you too. It did come for me, and I feel so good about it. So much stronger and self-assured than ever. It’s like that I was blind and now I can see, and even though this is a cliche`- it’s true. The capture here under is my answer to the question title of this post.

And to stay on the same track as in my previous posts, here is what George William Childs once wrote:
Do not keep the alabaster box of your love and
friendship sealed up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving,
cheering words while their ears can hear them
and while their hearts can be thrilled and made
happier. The kind things you mean to say when
they are gone, say before they go.
And the photo here above is a Self-Portrait shot a few days ago. What Dick Eastman wrote seemed very appropriate with it: “Only those who see the invisible can attempt the impossible.”
With these thoughts I am wishing you a splendid weekend and will talk to you soon

The above photo and also the one here under were taken on the same day. The one bellow was dedicated to all of my friends on Flickr, and I placed it with the following poem, which is by an Unknown Author and was published on the Forward to a Better day ezine.
Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But don’t forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that have passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.
Enjoy your week and let me know your thoughts and feelings if you wish. Talk to you soon.

Many of you know the saying: “Don’t cry over anything that won’t cry over you.” But do you agree with it? And do you act this way with any of the circumstances that you encounter and have to deal within your life? As for me - I simply can’t work it out and keep crying over things that won’t cry over me. Not always with the real tears, but, than my heart is crying, or my soul, and everything brings out some types of tears. Even so with my photography.
Or the things that I write. But than artists are overly sensitive and easily hurt.
This is why I am always trying to be sweet and friendly with people, also with the once that I don’t know. A person cannot always be sweet, but one could be polite, and friendly always, and should be really. Think about it for a minute… A simple smile could mean the world to someone who is feeling lonely and abandoned, or simply sad. It’s much cheaper than the petrol prices at the present, but the energy and power a simple smile could bring is enormous! A good word could make this person feel better right away, and make him/her see the world and everything in a new light.
And with these thoughts I am wishing you a splendid week ahead…

As most of you know I am away from home, and have a very hard time keeping up with all that I have to do here, and my online business is suffering from it too.
But to get down to the story, and the why of this title…Yesterday night, about 24 hours ago, I found through StumbleUpon.com (where from much traffic is going to my Crystal skulls blog) that someone has STOLEN the following photo of two of my crystal skulls… To be more exact, from Elie together with Jolly Zee.
I know it’s happening to about everyone placing their photos online without taking as precaution an ugly watermark in the middle of the photo, so that it cannot be cut off without ruining the photo completely.
Even while my partner Willem cautioned me I did not want to ruin the beauty I was capturing with the cameras and decided to take the risk, thinking the people will be honest and appreciative enough to link back to the site of mine that they found the photo on at the least. And even better, if they contact me and ask permission first and, before doing it. I will most certainly consent it as the photos are online already. But to steal, to not even link back to where the photo was found is downright STEALING. This is totally obnoxious and unacceptable behavior and I will definitely fight it.
I wrote the guy last night and gave him 24 hours the time to either link back to where he took my photo from, or take the photo off his blog ASAP. No reply until now whatsoever, and I decided to write about it on Totally Useless, and to write a review on his blog on Stumble Upon too. And if he does not as I am asking I will take it higher up.
Who knows how many of my photographs have been “stolen” until now online. In any case, if any of you have used any of my photos without linking back to where you found them posted - I’ll find you sooner or later, and will act exactly in the same manner as I am doing right now. And hopefully people will use their mind in a better way than this guy did, or I will be forced to start using an ugly watermark somewhere in the middle of my photographs from there on. So friends of mine, enjoy my photos without watermarks while I am still in the mood to leave these as they are.
Totally Useless is all about my personal philosophy, and how I interpret what is happening
in our lifetime, what is important to us, and how
come. It is about all those things that often
appear as totally useless but mostly are not.
