am I catching up with a past mind programme 2007-09-24 10:06:57 Monday 24 The catch-22 in spiritual intelligence is that we are all part of the same Great Everything – hence the admonition that what we do to even the least of society we do to Christ, or as I believe, to ourselves ie the Christ within. Theoretically, that means we should welcome and aid those less [...] ...

taxing politicians and parenthood 2007-09-23 11:49:42 Sunday 23 Someone on Facebook sent me a link to a video which appears to connect paying taxes with fascism. To be honest, I haven’t watched more than the first two or three minutes (it’s over an hour!) so I can’t comment. But, should we pay income tax? Surely the idea, in principle, is good: to [...] ...

addiction - a human weakness 2007-09-22 13:12:12 Saturday 22 Digital production is brilliant for the abundance of new magazines around. But, equally, some seem to disappear as quickly. Or not. Freelance Market News mentioned one particular title wanting articles that were frank, fresh, informative, didn’t patronise, were edgy and original. I think I could manage those. What they failed to mention, however, was [...] ...

blogging fame and a Portuguese ancestry or not 2007-09-21 06:52:37 Friday 21 Bloggers run the risk of becoming rent-a-quoters with varying degrees of clout. Me inc. Yet I do strive to write only about topics that affect my spiritual journey (ie mindset) in some way. Take the Portuguese, for instance. Portugal and the Portuguese seem to be having their rather negative moment in the spotlight right [...] ... Blogging

manifesting: but in which moment in time? 2007-09-20 12:14:07 Wednesday 19/Thursday 20 Years, and miles, of driving to sales appointments have left a seemingly indelible imprint, no matter what the purpose of the trip. My mind seems to flip into some ingrained, weather-related, memory, which is most disconcerting. Then, driving back as the sun sets, there is that familiar soul loneliness, and self-questioning. Most odd. [...] ...

criteria for a position in power & other delusions 2007-09-18 14:15:14 Tuesday 18 ‘Bloody hurrah’ said Adam Applegarth, CEO of Northern Rock. While savers ought to be protected, surely this man and his board should have foreseen the problems? Will the taxpayer have to bail out every corporate management bodge-up? Wonder how long before Labour start blaming Mrs Thatcher, as they usually do, now that they are beginning [...] ... Amp

institutions: hospitals and boarding school 2007-09-17 11:23:42 Monday 17 It seems bewildering that medical staff should even have to be asked to wash their hands or wear suitable clothing. That should include no jewellery. Yet, when Dad was in the Neurological Hospital in Russell Square, one of his female doctors not only had long flowing hair, but she kept tossing it around flirtatiously [...] ...

how do you let someone know you care? 2007-09-16 12:20:19 Saturday15/Sunday 16 Fears and feelings of abandonment in a very small child seem hard to dislodge, even through a conscious adult mind. In times of stress one of the NandDs recognises that mindset of a three-year-old, but cannot seem to do anything about it. Perfectly understandable behaviour by others simply reinforces that sense of isolation. Life [...] ...

deflated, david…. but never defeated! 2007-09-14 13:19:41 Friday 14 Famine and feast seems to be the lot of the freelancer, but if the opportunities that have come my way this week pay off, I’ll be very happy for the next few months. Of course, getting in sync with the mind of any new client is always a hurdle. What happens when you feel [...] ...

when TV is just what I need 2007-09-13 13:52:20 Thursday 13 Writing to deadline with a chainsaw loudly and monotonously droning in the background is not my preferred type of working condition. Thankfully, it only lasted till lunchtime and I managed to keep to my schedule. It has been so long since IT-speak was a constant in my life, that I needed a reasonable period [...] ...

overdue actions re blog directories 2007-09-12 12:12:16 For technorati et al (well, less than ‘al’) Technorati Profile WoW Private Servers The back of my neck is now aching. So that’s me finished for the mo… as a nice glass of Stellenbosch beckons. technorati ...

a south indian heritage and some painful ego lessons 2007-09-12 02:37:34 Wednesday 12 India has been getting a lot of TV attention recently, with Michael Wood’s Story of India among many interesting programmes. Regrettably, I have fallen asleep during all of the episodes shown so far, with the exception of last Friday. That episode was predominantly about South India, where my parents are from, and I found [...] ...

master numbers getting old & life’s ROI 2007-09-11 10:54:46 Tuesday 11 Among other features, Master Number days (11 and 22) tend, in my experience, to exaggerate predominant emotions. No guesses for my predominant emotions today, exacerbated by some uphill work issues. And wasting a staggering amount of time feeling sorry for myself. By the way, I continue to feel the Almighty enjoys teasing with missions and [...] ... Amp

a day of headaches of the physical and mental kind 2007-09-10 11:42:10 Monday 10 Did the feng shui flow better last night? Well I normally fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow but, in all honesty, it definitely took a little longer. I was then startled awake, around 01:30hrs, by a shocking image of the little missing Madeleine, her mouth wide open in a [...] ...

more feng shui and another aspect of China 2007-09-09 12:04:44 Sunday 9 Woke up wanting to do more energy shifting stuff again – but not before reading up yet more seemingly conflicting information (about feng shui). For example, the word ‘facing’ is very unclear. Do you sit or sleep in the inauspicious area in order to ‘face’ the positive energies? Or you place yourself where those [...] ...
