A Self Imposed Curse</title><content type='html'>I once met a man who had convinced millions he was a God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My time in believing he was something extraordinary was around 9 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then my eyes were opened; I realised how easy it is for simple, craving folk to be duped into believing and to be beholden to a creation of manipulation. Unlike many I did not have an upbringing in a conventional 'church', so this realisation was fascinating and totally empowering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My religious instruction came from a heart felt and conveyed world view my parents engendered. Although faulty in parts, it certainly had its intentions in loving kindness. It was to be much later in life I became witness to devotion that merged solidly into blind faith and mind control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are strong words, however I have learned  religion per &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;se&lt;/span&gt; is one massive control system that through its power brokers and variations on a theme,  subjects, most times, willing participant into a state of less, guilt ridden impoverishment and a receptacle of some outside influence that many times has no real relationship to things spiritual other than in name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However this man &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uttered one phrase I hold to me to this day. As with most things that came from his mouth they were definitively not his own, though accredited to him. The phrase was:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"It is good to be born into a religion but for God's sake do not die in one."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the world is locked into a struggle greater than we have ever experienced. One that is heightened and indeed its odds increased, because of and through the extraordinary power to communicate we have all embraced and been fed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This struggle is one of domination for our minds, both collective and individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;sheeple&lt;/span&gt; went to church, mosque, temple or wherever and were told to believe in whatever &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;deity&lt;/span&gt; they were fed. Ignorance and non critical thinking led them to fear, a fear increased by descriptions of vengeful gods and terrible consequences.  That fear was fed by those dishing out the dose of religious dogma and we ended up having a creed usurped by the state as well as the church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Values were cemented in this doctrine. The entrapment of beings almost complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That religion did have a positive focus for many, in as much as it acted and still acts as a positive focus, albeit highly tainted and misunderstood, has led to a great degree of compliance in all things seen as daily life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has also given rise to major disconnects in truly comprehending our position in the great game of life. For many this means we become and accept our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;disempowerment&lt;/span&gt;, subservience and enslavement to a system that has anything but our best interests at heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we are faced with the rise and final push, so far, of the psychopathic power platform. The accreditation of individuals, placed in positions of responsibility and dominion, yet with their tendencies allowed to run rampant through a sea of ignorance and blind faith, inculcated by religion, mass media mind control and the threat of ultimate annihilation by an unseen, unknown yet terrifyingly real threat to the general people of earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whilst blinded by these lies, frozen in their deceitful headlamps, we find many running for the spiritual panacea - be it New Age, Catholic, Pagan, Moslem, Buddhist, Ascended Mastery or any other 'systemic' life raft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we are all running away from is our Self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear is our main threat and the one so far removed from Love, we are finding ourselves spinning in circles of confusion, credited and discredited at one and the same time, yet all the time being fed mixed messages that inevitably lead us to complete paranoia, hopelessness, devoid of the will to know ourselves any more and at a point where any great Master, Godhead, Leader can appear and seem to be &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'The Answer' &lt;/span&gt;to all our problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The extra-terrestial solution is propagated. The 2012 phenomenon will come and go as all these things do with those believing an enormous shift has occurred, those that believe those that believe this are crazy and then there are those that have no idea at all what they believe and just sit and become even more brainwashed by TV and Media and are happy for others to rule their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only when we start to seriously question ourselves, doubt the very facts and beliefs we are fed, use our critical faculties to determine what is truth, what is fact and what is what...will we be anywhere near growing in our evolutionary process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trial and error is a great place to start. If it feels right, then take full responsibility for running with it, if it then subsequently fails you, recognise why, let it go and/or transform the experience, learn from it and move forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing is lost from experience and everything is to be gained. Take full responsibility for everything you do, think and say and wisdom will seep into what may have been previously a very befuddled thought process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember there is a sell by date to everything. Our lives, our loves and our being. The freshest and most complete is the present. Live it, know it, experience it and celebrate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and remember.... you are the only one who truly is going to recognise your divinity. When that moment arrives, it was not down to religion, it was not down to the intercession of any other, it was totally because you have arrived at the point were you love yourself completely, unreservedly and without a trace of less or fear of failure....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujia! ......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-2095452142660200846?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/2095452142660200846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=2095452142660200846' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/2095452142660200846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/2095452142660200846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2011/04/tyranny-of-religion-self-imposed-curse.html' title='The Tyranny of Religion - A Self Imposed Curse'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-9173012522117981911</id><published>2011-03-06T12:50:00.003Z</published><updated>2011-03-06T12:52:19.974Z</updated><title type='text'>The Lie Repeated Becomes the Truth</title><content type='html'>One of the most prevalent tactics of any regime is to promote a way of  thinking, a belief. A belief that becomes the modus operandi of said  regime. The tenet of all subsequent actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is true for any structure be it religion, government, ideal and organisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l6jgQJpj9cE/TXOBcgBBK7I/AAAAAAAAAEA/Qpo-5bho9e0/s1600/montsegur.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 171px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l6jgQJpj9cE/TXOBcgBBK7I/AAAAAAAAAEA/Qpo-5bho9e0/s320/montsegur.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580946689872702386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;he  more this belief or factual story is discussed, thought about,  engineered into the minds of the listeners, it becomes through  repetition, a version of the Truth. When consistently referred to as a  source of reference, by alluding to its truth content, albeit a lie.....  it becomes the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the fundamental nature of passed down misinformation and control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  oral tradition, before the age of information, printed word and the  like was absolutely strict about who passed the word forward. They knew  not only the value of the original but also the tendency of '&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chinese whispers&lt;/span&gt;' that distorted the original content and teachings.&lt;br /&gt;=================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The  greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter  their lives by altering their attitude of mind" Dr Williams James&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=================&lt;br /&gt;When  studying all regimes, oppressive, repressive and benign it is  transparent the way we are led to believe anything is conditional on the  amount of emphasis given to the facts determining where we focus on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  a totalitarian state we are fed the truth of "terrorists" who are out  to blast us to eternity. These said terrorists are so ephemeral, awkward  creatures to capture that means and ways to control the set upon (us)  becomes an imperative more important. "for our protection" than the  exposure to the fact that said terrorists are merely a figment of  convenient imagination for these governing bodies to excuse the abuse of  their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fM-MSeWP4x8/TXOCQj9bORI/AAAAAAAAAEI/CG5UiIbHg7k/s1600/iStock_000002949161XSmall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 197px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fM-MSeWP4x8/TXOCQj9bORI/AAAAAAAAAEI/CG5UiIbHg7k/s320/iStock_000002949161XSmall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580947584284571922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  do not deny terrorists are real. Dissent creates them in a world where  fee expression is stifled. They are also created as means for a power to  manipulate public opinion, in the cause of furthering their ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The State of Israel was in greater part created by the terrorists of &lt;span class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Menachem Begin &lt;/i&gt;and  tempered by Ben Gurion, yet an executive arm  manipulating all this saw  a Zionist no Jewish cartel move into this arena and is even today  responsible for many of the atrocities of state terrorism we see around  us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The venom and anger ensuing when it is pointed out that the  Jewish people have been used as pawns in a power game that used and  abused Semitism as a rallying cry against unilateral foul play,  spotlights the overt way we have been manipulated into believing the lie  of transgression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not even the Ashkenazim Jews escape  vilification as some of their number are the greatest perpetrators of  evil in this world. Jews they are not, yet to all intents and purposes  they have painted themselves as part of that diaspora who have bee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NHiz_5NFVKk/TXOCm0Q399I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/WHRahp4jPes/s1600/iStock_000003529744XSmall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NHiz_5NFVKk/TXOCm0Q399I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/WHRahp4jPes/s320/iStock_000003529744XSmall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580947966618236882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="bodytext"&gt;n historically disabused of their right to statehood and existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So  complex is this deception, most ordinary folk are as confused as to  believe the Israelis, Israel and the whole Jewish people are a  persecuted and misappropriated race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing could be further from the truth, or should I say fact!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One person's truth is another person's lie. Facts are just that facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  fact that the Rothschild dynasty has in no way real blood line Jewish  existence is a fact. Calling yourself  'Schindler' does not make you a  Jew. Mere name calling semantics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The money lenders origins are  as far from the biblical tribe of David as the moon is from Alpha  Centurii, though that metaphor is too close. Their humble birth place in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  lie of persecution is an emotional one and one that is fed daily with  invective, spite, jealousy, envy, hatred and skewed historical  inaccuracies. Yet because it seems true it is consistently promoted as  The Truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cautionary tale here is to use one's own  discrimination as to what feels true for you. Be in no doubt there are  forces in this world wishing for your compliance in all things contrary  to their policy and thought. To raise the head above the parapet is to  get blasted from a heavy cannon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear is a control mechanism  wielded with uncompromising diligence. Submit to it and you will find  yourself bereft of discrimination, self control and the ability to see  beyond the fog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule One is to banish fear through development of  your own personal integrity, discrimination and realisation as to your  own powerful being. This may not be an overnight process, as for most we  have allowed our conditioning to become ourselves. This identity  problem needs some serious cleansing, as otherwise we will continue to  identify ourselves with others' projections of us,them and the whole  caboodle of insanities that make up who we are led to believe we are and  told we are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those brave enough to challenge the truth, put it  to the test align it with the facts will ultimately become free, in the  knowledge of who they then discover they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live that and you live your own truth.....and that is a fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-9173012522117981911?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/9173012522117981911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=9173012522117981911' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/9173012522117981911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/9173012522117981911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2011/03/lie-repeated-becomes-truth.html' title='The Lie Repeated Becomes the Truth'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l6jgQJpj9cE/TXOBcgBBK7I/AAAAAAAAAEA/Qpo-5bho9e0/s72-c/montsegur.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-2485388151595114781</id><published>2011-03-02T13:00:00.004Z</published><updated>2011-03-02T13:22:47.887Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poverty consciousness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beauty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self worth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hero&apos;s journey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glastonbury'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tramp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poor'/><title type='text'>Times of Change Are Rare Times Indeed</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t1D4xEQGmZA/TW5EnRqclaI/AAAAAAAAAD4/EyCT9Ehte5c/s1600/fire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 158px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t1D4xEQGmZA/TW5EnRqclaI/AAAAAAAAAD4/EyCT9Ehte5c/s320/fire.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579472429905647010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Hero is awoken, his/her slumber acts as a cloak thrown ground wards in a specific act of action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Action is the imperative of every one of us as Hero. Without it we are mere rotting piles of dreams. Dreams already dead from inert and putrefying nothingness. The stench of inaction can never be eradicated by perfumes and unctions created to cover up. It becomes a pervasive odor we carry with us everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever noticed the smell of those that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;tramp&lt;/span&gt; the streets and byways? The odor they give off has nothing to do with whether they wash or not, though that has its own &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;malodorous&lt;/span&gt; part. No, this is an odor akin to old wood, to rotting bark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my home town of Glastonbury, in the leafy shires of Somerset in the UK, it can be sniffed out quite openly. On buses, trains and other public places, there seems almost a celebration of this odor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However it is nothing to celebrate. It is the stench of inaction, of an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;intransigence&lt;/span&gt; to move forward, change circumstances and life patterns to something akin to evolution on a personal and collective level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Do&lt;/span&gt; I sound harsh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope so. As it is this endemic slovenly and downright lazy attitude people have towards themselves and their worth that feeds a sense of nihilism, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;reliance&lt;/span&gt; on others to support them and a loss of human dignity that ought really to be a shining star, not only in their personal firmament but to enlighten all those they meet in the celestial grounds of Life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is neither my place, nor right, to shove them out of their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;stench&lt;/span&gt;y comfort zones, however since their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;malodorous&lt;/span&gt; presence does impact me as I stand in line at the store or bus stop, train station etc, I raise the flag of awareness and encourage them each and every one to search their souls for purpose and take the challenge of that hero who like each of us, is capable of changing the world - one by one......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then times of change will multiply and manifest as a sweet smelling rose of beauty, sharing her intoxicated perfume with all.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hero will rub slumber from its eyes and march out on quest.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-2485388151595114781?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/2485388151595114781/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=2485388151595114781' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/2485388151595114781'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/2485388151595114781'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2011/03/times-of-change-are-rare-times-indeed.html' title='Times of Change Are Rare Times Indeed'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t1D4xEQGmZA/TW5EnRqclaI/AAAAAAAAAD4/EyCT9Ehte5c/s72-c/fire.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-6736479590048784567</id><published>2011-01-13T22:27:00.005Z</published><updated>2011-01-14T02:21:47.682Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poverty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hero&apos;s journey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='awaken'/><title type='text'>At What Point Does The Hero Start His Journey</title><content type='html'>"Between the crack forming around the sphere the long, languid lines of temptation began an hypnotic dance inviting participation. Every sinew in his body screamed &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO&lt;/span&gt;, every one except the curiosity curve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was this small, well rounded reminder of his one year old self that refused to lie back and  rest. It scratched at the part of his brain that craved knowledge and that sought enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So small was the curve that its quiet, yet furious feeding belied the rate of growth it spawned. Before he had time to even assess its expanding parameters, it had swollen enough to devour a small but major part of his resistance. Sinews began falling away as if melting in the heat of the intensity to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In spite of himself his journey had begun. Turning back was no longer an option."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most of us we launch our journey in a state of blind or unwitting unconsciousness. No road map, no instruction, vague idea of destination and most times, little will to launch such an epic campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unwillingness to be the focal point is strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet the harvest has failed, the people are dying, the water contaminated, freedom has become a distant memory of its pristine form. Plastic is all around. Abuse, extortion, denial, poverty are everywhere. Out of all this noise comes the calling....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hero steps up to the plate and lays his life on the line for resolution. Foolhardy maybe, flawed genius probably, fallible human being most definitely, yet he speaks where silence reigns, he puts his head above the parapet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His destiny is to lead by example. That example even through death may waken a few more and a few more and a few more.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His role is thus the role handed down through the ages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you this job description?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you awake?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-6736479590048784567?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/6736479590048784567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=6736479590048784567' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/6736479590048784567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/6736479590048784567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2011/01/at-what-point-does-hero-start-his.html' title='At What Point Does The Hero Start His Journey'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-5639505614029895829</id><published>2010-08-26T02:31:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-26T03:39:57.641+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom cycle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='against the grain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='different'/><title type='text'>Developing sinew against the grain</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;left&gt;&lt;b&gt; "I think being different, going against the grain of society,&lt;br /&gt;is the greatest thing in the world." &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elijah Woods&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conformity is the killer of all dreams. It eats away at the very fabric of our being, till we one day look at ourselves in the mirror and see a grey, wizened, depressed image of our former self. That we may even recognise this self is miraculous. Yet, it is these very features, impressed on our image,  we have allowed cultivate and define not only our image but our mindset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The walking dead are more alive at this point than we are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It demands a certain sense of self, of independence of thought and enquiry to develop enough sinew to strengthen the seeker in its own investigation of the known and yet to be known.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;====================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/left&gt;&lt;b&gt;"The hardest struggle of all is to be&lt;br /&gt;something different from what the&lt;br /&gt;average man is." &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles M. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Schwab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;====================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the great doorways toward the true freedom in &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'different'&lt;/span&gt;, is an ability to ask with sincerity the question - Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To consistently question the need, the right for life to dictate on our actions, thoughts, ideas and goals, is a prerequisite. If we are able to posit the question and listen to the answers, filter out agendas and propaganda, sift through until we can determine rightful discourse and argument which equally acknowledges the right to question, we may just be on our way to an intelligent debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To meekly accept the status &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;quo&lt;/span&gt;, the powers that be under the pretext that someone or something knows better, is to curl up and surrender. The morass of mediocrity that creates  mountains of compliance, also create an ugly landscape that has little semblance to a true reality of being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;left&gt;&lt;b&gt; "When we lose the right to be different,&lt;br /&gt;we lose the privilege to be free." &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles Evans Hughes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/left&gt;=================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allowing others to take from us our choice to determine to be different, is the foundation of an enslaved society. In little ways at first - "We don't do that round here", or "I would not if I were you..." are pointers to adherence to a crowd mindset. Fear of standing out from the crowd, being an outsider is a major factor in keeping people inside the cage. Letting powers of control determine what is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt; to think, say, do is by its very nature an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;abrogation&lt;/span&gt;  of our right to be free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Developing sinew is developing strength. When an army of power crazed idealism, authoritarian correctness is ranged against us it needs all the strength one can muster to say NO, to counter with walking the opposite direction and to ultimately stand and fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The road against the grain may seem rocky and ill trod, yet walk it for a distance and you will find it the smoothest path, the one that goes with the flow and the one that ultimately delivers the satisfaction that creativity has overruled normalcy and new frontiers come rapidly into sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natural trepidation is a good quality to maintain. Outright fear, especially fear of consequences and what others may or may not think, is the enemy to going against the grain, to striding out on the road less travelled. We are surrounded by the repetition that life is fearsome, people are to be feared, doubted, watched and reported on for anything that smells of difference. The media, culture and cultivation of lifestyles encourage us to be fearful of outcomes not predetermined by those that hold the reins of power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their agenda for the most part is not selfless, but selfish. The individual may be paid lip service, however the truth is that they fear any flow against the popular tide to be a point of resistance. This resistance must be obliterated for their designated flow to be maintained. Yet what is essential for us to recognise is  the flow built around the grain is in fact the upstream path. Our resistance to the grain and going against it, is the downstream. A downstream leading to an ocean of freedom, a celebration of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if you dare to be different, to go against the grain, then know that you are committing yourself to a glorious path. You are answering a fundamental and ancient '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;crie de coeur&lt;/span&gt;' that is everything epitomising the freedom and the joy of living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open your mind, open your heart, step up and away from the sheeple  littering the graveyards of despair and self defeat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Not a few men who cherish lofty and noble&lt;br /&gt;ideas hide them under a bushel for fear of&lt;br /&gt;being called different." &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martin Luther King, Jr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-5639505614029895829?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/5639505614029895829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=5639505614029895829' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/5639505614029895829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/5639505614029895829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2010/08/developing-sinew-against-grain.html' title='Developing sinew against the grain'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-4941525172607323082</id><published>2010-07-09T01:56:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-07-09T01:59:25.135+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Dreams and Realities -

Another 20 percent said no they did not want to be rich, though they added they would like to  become rich. Strange &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;dichotomy&lt;/span&gt; within there, eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10%  pretended not to hear the question and fidgeted their way out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13%  said definitely they wanted it but all were not prepared to do what it  takes as there was, as several put it, always a catch. (Well yes there is and it is called commitment to action and smart work)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1% said they were already rich  in areas of their life  that may not be financial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not one of them said yes that is fascinating, please tell me more. It seems the hunger for self advancement is something too onerous to approach, let alone engage in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now in  fairness the Car Boot is a bargain hunter's paradise, allegedly, and  thus most people there were there because they were in dire straights or  nowhere near where they dreamed to be. Discount the professional  dealers, normally dodging the early hour opportunity, and you have  people who are the most in need of improving their circumstances but are  at a complete loss, apart from the aspirational Lottery path, as to how  to do it. A cheap 2 dollar cuddly toy for the kids seems to be their level of aspiration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We offered, as a 2 dollar handout, the hard back  volume of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;The  Science of Getting Rich&lt;/span&gt; by Wallace Wattles. Most laughed at the  fact that if they read this, internalized it and then led a life based  on it they would develop a mindset and pathway to enriching their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seemed too easy. Sure an easy read but absorbingly challenging to put  into action. That is so often the stumbling block. Dedication to educating oneself towards improvement on all fronts is a wearysome thing, so better reside in the good old comfort zone of &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'same old, same old'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instant  gratification seems to be the only option people want to take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why  is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would surmise because they are &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NOT &lt;/span&gt;prepared to do the work, to take  the necessary steps towards a goal. The desire for other people to solve  their problems is one of the greatest barriers for individuals to  overcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Self Responsibility is one of the bedrocks of a  meaningful and rich life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Becoming a man or woman of independence and substance demands we  leave the nanny state and comforts found in having others look after us - be that the State, the family,  partner or welfare in any form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support  and dependency on others is fine as a stepping stone, but as a  foundation, it is as sand to build on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Progress in life, from any  angle is as fast as the willingness of individuals &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;in&lt;/span&gt; WANTING  to change and desiring to bring a new dynamic to their lives and circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For  most it become an imperative only when pain enters front of stage. Illness,  tragedy, loss, misfortune are not really negative elements but are so often interpreted as such. They ought to  be seen as the dramatic "wake up calls" we are forced to recognize,  if change is where we want to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The preference would be to  wake up before the necessity of pain becomes the only course of action  left. However because of the deep slumber most are in, they have to feel the butt kick before realizing anything is out of kilter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, asking people the question, do they want to be rich can  have surprising results. Hopefully it may spark them to question where  they are and ask themselves if they really wish to remain there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the result is, one thing is for certain. A chink of light filtering through a crack always illumines something richer and more fulfilling. The trick is to wish and then push that crack open more and more until the whole picture is revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles -&lt;a href="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/wattlessgr"&gt; a free download&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-6315417227713387788?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/6315417227713387788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=6315417227713387788' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/6315417227713387788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/6315417227713387788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2010/07/do-you-want-to-be-rich.html' title='Do You Want to Be Rich?'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-393316367959241793</id><published>2010-07-02T09:00:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-03T17:57:58.755+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rich'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mindset'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poverty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lottery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poor'/><title type='text'>Can't Afford It!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times have we heard....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;I CAN'T AFFORD IT !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times, more pertinently, have you told yourself or others that in life?&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/TC2ujmmfVWI/AAAAAAAAADg/ekTN1edKfYg/s1600/cantaford.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 253px; height: 251px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/TC2ujmmfVWI/AAAAAAAAADg/ekTN1edKfYg/s320/cantaford.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489235447515141474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The path from poverty to riches is a thorny and stony one for those of this mindset.

The solution comes way before the money arrives. When have you ever seen a bucket filled with water to quench a thirst, only to drain as quickly as it was filled because no-one thought of repairing the holes in the bucket before filling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to repair our holes in our thought processes. We need to change our mindset to prepare for the new conditions. You see money is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;pure energy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Energy just is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;.... it cannot be changed, made better or worse, it just is. As such the receptacle  for this energy must be as clean as possible for this energy to be operated at its  most effective level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the mindset of "I am never any good with money" or "Oh! I cannot afford that" is still ingrained into your system, then it will affect the relationship you have with money even when there is an influx of wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deal with these states of mind before the means to &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/TC2uRNB8xcI/AAAAAAAAADY/6q8jFFtn2ww/s1600/riches.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 256px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/TC2uRNB8xcI/AAAAAAAAADY/6q8jFFtn2ww/s320/riches.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489235131413349826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;release are offered.

Then change it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, the mind can be a tricky ally since an embedded thought paradigm colors a lot more than just thinking it.

Self interest and greed of those whose job it was to look after our deposits, having abused that trust, now are given excruciating handouts preventing their bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Our money, our lives are being disabused like never before. Most people, after years of this abuse, have been hypnotized into believing they are powerless to rebel against such injustices. So the cycle perpetuates itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   However, the inability to do something else, to break free of this hollow prison, lies fairly and squarely in our own hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;img src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/hourglasstoto.jpg" alt="hourglass" align="left" border="0" height="289" hspace="14" vspace="14" width="289" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Yes, others' actions may have caused the worst economic climate change in history, but that does not mean that we have to be forced to sit out in the storm and get beaten and battered. What it does mean is that for those of us who &lt;strong&gt;want different&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;we must do different&lt;/strong&gt;, we must &lt;strong&gt;seek out different&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;mobilize it&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   That &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;different&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a different way of creating an economy that is serving each and everyone where the parity of reward goes to those that focus on serving others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Fear is a monstrous burden. It is also one that is self created. No matter how big it gets and it can become huge and, fed from other sources outside our own fear mongering, gargantuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   It is still essentially a self created monster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Release fear, gain &lt;strong&gt;knowledge&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;discrimination&lt;/strong&gt; and the means to sidetrack, reroute and dissipate it and we leave that territory and cross into a landscape of &lt;strong&gt;confidence&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;assurance&lt;/strong&gt; and a whole territory of &lt;strong&gt;prosperous potential&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Believe at your peril what you are told exists out there in Poverty Land, in the states of Lack. Buy into the end of economic stability if that is the reality you want for yourself. Feed the doom machine, as that is what some depend on you to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Let me tell you what the wise, the wealthy and the prosperous are doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NONE OF THAT.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Those that know they can create their own destiny are getting on with it and doing just that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   What are you doing about improving your lot, about changing forever the ccycles of boom and bust that litter your past?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Now as incredible as it may seem, there are those that are so inured into poverty consciousness they believe it has to be so and their own control is impotent against these slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. They believe anything which proves otherwise is mere scam and Pollyanna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;It is they who continue to live the nightmare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   There is a New Economy out there and this one supports and helps each and everyone to benefit, build and broker a new way of being.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.mistnetwork.com/image-files/ukbentley.jpg" alt="" align="left" border="0" height="214" hspace="14" vspace="14" width="290" /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Each one may choose a particular avenue for growth however the basics are the same. For minimal investment into a better future, we all have the opportunity to grow so far beyond the economic mess we see around us that very soon it becomes something others maintain and believe in and no longer our reality. This reality ceases to have thrall on us or those we work and play with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The world then truly splits itself into two very different realities. The&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 'Haves'&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'Have nots'&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   This has everything to do with inequality and at the same time nothing to do with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   The inequality is between the two poles, they are so far apart. There is no inequality by design between the two. It is merely between a chosen set of beliefs, of mindset, possibility, of potential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;If you feel unequal to the challenge of change, then you will find change an ellusive creature of myth and legend. If you decide to become the hero of your own life and circumstances, the golden door will, as if by a miracle, open before you to reveal a treasure house of prosperity and life change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   On any journey it is essential to have a guide. To have one that has been there, done that. This way the hurdles, the barriers and the challenges are already known and can be alleviated or negated, thus making the path smoother and the journey shorter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   For myself I found a plethora of mentors, a seriously serial amount of millionaires and multi-millionaires who are giving their time, experience and knowledge to me and thousands of others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Their purpose, apart from the transformation of &lt;strong&gt;Panic into Prosperity&lt;/strong&gt;, is to make sure that the critical mass involved in changing the collective lot is reached sooner rather than later and thus expedites a new way of being that fosters &lt;strong&gt;Abundance&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Prosperity&lt;/strong&gt;, a Life of shared&lt;strong&gt; Joy&lt;/strong&gt; and uplifting progress. The speed of this change around is determined only by the willingness for each and every one of us to participate, progress and share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Economic Collapse may be imminent, however the other side of that coin is a New Economy that is not only fruitful but sustaining for each and every one that actively participates in it. Neither is is reliant on any group or organization to control its wealth, to own the wealth or to stifle the wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   To find out more as to how you can be mentored to new horizons, greater prosperity and a new dawn &lt;a href="http://www.mistnetwork.com/millionairementor"&gt;go here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;START THE JOURNEY TODAY......&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-263579331512469931?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/263579331512469931/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=263579331512469931' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/263579331512469931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/263579331512469931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2010/06/panic-into-prosperity-mentors-role.html' title='Panic into Prosperity - A Mentor&apos;s role'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-9101118083015577664</id><published>2010-06-12T19:30:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-12T20:25:37.592+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='death'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='elysian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bondage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom cycle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='methuselah'/><title type='text'>TIME - the great equalizer - Hardly!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/TBPcWABbiyI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ihoL0uN_N1c/s1600/melting-clock-dali.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 246px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/TBPcWABbiyI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ihoL0uN_N1c/s320/melting-clock-dali.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481967441961257762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may come as a shock to some of you out there, but .....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;THERE IS NO TIME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time is not something that is tangible. It is neither something that the Creators ever created, if that is what their job title was anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time has been created, of course, however it is a human construct. One that was specifically created to contain. Contain and imprison. keep within bounds souls that needed boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An honorable idea, and timely for infants when growing and learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However there were those that saw this as the ideal tool to contain and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"  &gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;disempower&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are bound into believing Time has dominion over you. "I haven't got time for..." "Time has run out"  "You cannot go back in time"  "I have lost time"  etc, then surely as night follows day you are strapped and ruled by time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet what if..... you could make up time, go back in time, find time and recreate time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you suppose that you might act somewhat differently?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see if it never existed, then you never have lost, been &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"  &gt;strapped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt; for or whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time the Great Healer - well yes, there is always a period of development. But why should that period be something that exists on a - wait for it.....timeline or straight line?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gestation, growth and development all have their phases, however we can, as creators manifest any time line we wish. We can expand, contract and evolve our time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"  &gt;Methuselah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt; lived to ripe years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? He willed it so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Medieval times the life span was short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They believed that this was so and so along with conditions they created to make it come to pass, boom! so it was short....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, we are told that science will, through genetic tampering, elongate our life span.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Utter bull..... a great excuse for their genetic experimenting and agendas, but not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;neccessary&lt;/span&gt; for anyone wishing to overcome time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is up to each and every one of us to rediscover the power of creation within.  All we need to do is recognize how we  take control of time. When we begin that journey in earnest and with utter belief it is possible, then and only then &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"  &gt;will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt; time begin to lose its meaning and its thrall over us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death, I hear you say is the ultimate divider. Something that overrules time on earth. If you believe so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is just a point on the journey when things change in our perception. In reality nothing changes as all is energy and energy cannot either be created nor destroyed....&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;it just is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you  believe that a loved &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"  &gt;one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt; goes away somewhere, to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"  &gt;Elysian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;  fields, Heaven, Hell, wherever, then so be it. That is your interpretation. The individuated being that was Eric, Susan or whoever will never be again, but who and what they are never dies or leaves. We just have a limited viewpoint/understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change that and everything changes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We get so caught up in the drama of death, passing, time lost, historical time that the present moment, that golden reality is hardly ever considered, let alone lived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet the irony is - that everything is in that moment....everything. We just do not believe enough that this is so. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;minutiae seems to be so much more absorbing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is about time (ha ha!) that we began to understand the true nature of time and cut ourselves loose from its manacles and the imprisoning tool that others impose on us when they ask us to believe that we cannot be rid of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It needs considerable intelligence, adept awareness and a will to break free from the bondage of limited thought - but having said that it is the ultimate freedom to become free from the bondage of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-9101118083015577664?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/9101118083015577664/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=9101118083015577664' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/9101118083015577664'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/9101118083015577664'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2010/06/time-great-equalizer-its-timeless.html' title='TIME - the great equalizer - Hardly!'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/TBPcWABbiyI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ihoL0uN_N1c/s72-c/melting-clock-dali.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-6190595062441950188</id><published>2010-06-12T18:17:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-12T18:37:33.311+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craig pruess'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bride and prejudice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sacred chants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom cycle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='moses jones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ganda boys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mind body spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bend it like beckham'/><title type='text'>Thank You - as only the Ganda Boys can sing</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;My dear friend&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;

Blasphemy is merely disputation, albeit of a deity or something held sacred, with a view to consider alternative realities. If such realities offend, then so be it. Sacred Cows are merely hardened belief structures embedded with concrete resistance against change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;============================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the 7 day rule applies. It was written down. Thus it applies, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let us without too much limpet like emotional attachment, consider the actuality of creation over a 7 day cycle. I know, it becomes awesome in its consideration. Makes one wonder whether with that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;sort of industry the 2012 Olympic building efforts in East London could as quickly be concluded and ready in short order. Let alone how life could have changed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;had we had the same efficiency supplied to the London to France high speed rail connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, unless we are so embedded in literal interpretation as to be unaware of the fact that geology challenges this in its entirety, it is safe to say this time line is metaphorical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bless the Creationists, they must live in a beautiful Pollyanna world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let us fast forward to the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve and the rest of the host of first family. This story is a most beautifu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;l metaphor for the start (or restart - a later article) of all things human.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taken literally it makes for easy digestion and simplistic interpretation. Yet here, behind the family is a process of introduction that is so far more magnificent, so blindingly brilliant that the original Biblical tale does very poor justice to the facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History is for the most part, a coll&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;ection of facts, assumptions, projections that collectively tell &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;some one's&lt;/span&gt; story and for the most part that someone is from today looking back, not of the time. So unless we blindly accept someone &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;else's&lt;/span&gt; interpretation, we have to dig deeper than the superficial gloss, no matter how eminent, and interpret the spin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The subject is vast and I do not intend to cover every bit here. I would need to have my divine cap firmly on to do so, and that is still at the milliners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I would like to take are four verses in Genesis and look a little closer at them. Bear with me as this really gets fascinating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Gen.1:1  - 'In the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Gen.1:26 - 'God said, "Let us make man in our image, in the likeness of ourselves..." '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Gen.2:8 -  'Yahweh God planted a Garden of Eden which in the east...'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Gen5:24 - 'Enoch walked with God. Then he vanished because God took him'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These translations come from the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jerusalem Bible&lt;/span&gt;, published in 1966. An &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;authoritative&lt;/span&gt; and scholarly translation.Now just taking the word &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;God&lt;/span&gt; in the first three verses. This is taken from the Hebrew word &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Elohim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - while the fourth is expanded to&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ha-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Elohim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;the&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ha&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;referring to the Hebrew for &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;the&lt;/span&gt;. Elohim is actually the plural of &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;el&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and thus Elohim means 'gods', and &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;ha &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Elohim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; means 'the gods'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fascinating conundrum deepens when we read 'let &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;us&lt;/span&gt; make...in &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;our &lt;/span&gt;image....'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why is this important? First because the English translation of Elohim is singular and the Hebrew is plural. So which came first the chicken or the egg. Let us take the Hebrew as correct.

The urge for answering the question &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;"WHY?"&lt;/span&gt; is an impetus that has no equal. Whenever we begin to feel the lessening of that question in our lives, the poorer our lives develop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As co-creators of this magnificent play, it is easy to get wrapped up in the glory at the expense of true authorship. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;The tendency to take credi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;t is sometim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;es a transparent and ragged garment for covering a shaky self esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do I mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just that, creation is a process of collective endeavor as much as individual investigation, let alone Universal Mind tapped into. Yet at the moment or even during the process of creative evolution, one person feels the urge to take credit for its conception, birth and roll out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An ego inflated can be a cruel b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;edfellow and whipping master against the real talent behind a project. Team work and co-creation credit are as much part of the creative process as the end result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we are able to acknowledge the part played by the whole as well as the individual, the creation becomes so much more authentic.

Much time an irritation to a control &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;strategy&lt;/span&gt; that has its own time and agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For many this thought may be far fetched and hopelessly fantastical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the truth is that yours or my thoughts about how &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;fair &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;things ought to be, have never impinged on decisions that Control have forced through for its own ends. Like ants in a colony, we go about our ordered lives in complete ignorance as to what drives these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The panacea of choice, of people's power and media that keeps us subservient to our lazy instincts allows others to tune and play the harp of hegemony, whilst decimating the very structures we hold so dear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the Gulf of Mexico has started a very public and emotional resonance that in its perfection of divide and discord, allows many to rise up in fear, terror and recrimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High powers, rulers, economic and political are seen to be set against each other. The fundamental Christian right, the ecological movement, the poorest workers laid naked on the slab of ruin as well as a tourist industry  wailing  its lost revenues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These all are in their own way justified to cry foul. Yet none of them recognize that all this is just one more pillage of our human &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Beingness&lt;/span&gt;. It is the ongoing serial rape of our strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These present actions are not new. They are dressed in today's fashion, yet not new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lust for power and control is as old as the fall from grace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I posit, it is older, yet that will be revealed in later volumes of the Freedom Cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However my point is that, despite its longevity, despite its honed precision, the one element it cannot ever hold control over or alter, is the very nature of our being, individual and collective, that has allowed this state to flourish and can by the same token banish it from our midst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This my friends is the very journey we must embark on, and embark on sooner than later, if we wish to see different outcomes, changed futures and the re-establishment of divine order on the human level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is none other than the Hero's and Heroine's journey to Freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

This leads to a sort of misty order from the menu of life and is subject to all sorts of interpretation that had we been clearer, might have saved a load of suffering, frustration and being pissed with our lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That great and wondrous servant, Life, will deliver precisely what we ask for, so of course the admonition of - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 102); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Be careful what you ask for"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" &gt;, is no more important here and now than at any time gone by or to come.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/blog/uploaded_images/mindmap-763880.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 202px;" src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/blog/uploaded_images/mindmap-763876.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clarity brings so much to our table. A clear map, even subject to the changes along the journey, is ultimately a clear map. It allows us to be sure of our footing as we advance. So when we slip we may just notice the added banana skin we threw down having consumed its deliciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responsible Travel is just that. To be responsible for everything that we invite onto the path is clearly wisdom in action. Denial, apart from not being a river in Egypt, is purely a placement of a huge stumbling block to be engaged with and faced when we least expect or wish for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So time goes by, life chuckles with us at our ineptitude and brilliance - both the same things yet utterly different, and we are constantly encouraged to view both Triumph and Disaster, these two great imposters for what they are  - imposters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah! Joy, the quill calls as Toto nears the crux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we see so much that he was visioned with.

There is no getting away from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The responsibility is here within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That which is found to be difficult is implementing thoughts that create who we wish to be.So often we do not know who we are and therefore our thoughts are creating that which we are not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does this sound as if we are going round in circles? Because most times we are. We spend so &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;much&lt;/span&gt; of our lives repeating ourselves, our habits that cause us grief and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;aggravation&lt;/span&gt;, yet we rarely attribute all this suffering to what we instigate in our thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gain control , absolute control of your thoughts &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; you are free.

Most times in ancient times it has been for a mixture of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/bonsai.jpg" alt="Bonsai Autumn" align="left" border="0" height="392" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="214" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;notching the proverbial post to giving impetus and encouragement on the journey forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Of course the New Year so often signifies a determination for new beginnings by giving up things that we feel have not served us in the past year and many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;If we were  to look perhaps at this time as a time for drawing to us and taking up rather than giving up might it become so much more fruitful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;One reason that we constantly are in this state of giving up, releasing and then falling back into our old ways is that we have not yet got the point as to why we did it in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Resolving that one might help. Though I am not condoning a trip to the psychoanalyst. Your choice but there are easier routes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;It is quite simple in origin, yet more difficult in implementation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;That which allows us to continue old patterns that do not serve us is our inability to change the way we think. For it is our thoughts that bring us both our joy and our misery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;It is our thoughts  that create the potentials and help bring them into manifest form as well as create the illusory giants of less, loss, insufficiency and lack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/finland.jpg" alt="snowing in deep winter" align="left" border="0" height="189" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="262" /&gt;We may witness financial upheavals around us but why do they have to be ours and brought into our thoughts that these times are hard times and these times spell disasters in waiting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;For sure as bullets is bullets, what you think about will happen. You are drawing it to you at the speed of thought.&lt;/span&gt; Think of lack and bingo, it's here. Think that you are less able to do this or that and sure as eggs is eggs the Universe delivers the ordered package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I will not frighten you with the speed that these thoughts convey to central order command but rest assured it is faster than light.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Fearful, now? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;....Well do NOT be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;The point is we do not have to own and claim these thoughts that others fear and believe. We can produce exactly what we want by thinking and vibrating with the energetic reality of that which we do wish for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Do not spend your time trying to prevent yourself from what you do NOT want. That vibration will give you precisely what you do not want and speedily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;The opening of doors to our true being and potential is what really needs our attention. What you place your attention on is what you get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Yep, it is as simple as that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;If you were to really watch the way your thoughts create what happens to you, you would be truly shocked. The problem is that we hardly ever are aware of what and how we think. Like driving after years at the wheel, it is automatic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Therein lies the deal.&lt;img src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/finland2.jpg" alt="Into the future" align="left" border="0" height="157" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="248" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Watch what you think, when you know it does not serve you, as in I am miserable, sad, lonely, poor, wretched etc turn that around and notice what the opposite is - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am joyful&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am happy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am surrounded by friends and company&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am so blessed with a wealth of riches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am uplifted and inspired.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Now, find something in your life presently, in the past or something positive and uplifting you associate with these feelings and thoughts and focus on that to the exclusion of any of its opposites. Touch the feelings they inspire, let these suffuse your being and notice how things begin to feel a whole lot different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;All you have done is chosen to think something different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;By the very nature of the Law of Attraction that better feeling vibration is attracted to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Now, you know you have absolutely no excuse in not knowing what to do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;A resolution to change negative thinking patterns will surely reap benefits far beyond mid February when most other resolutions fade and fail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Open the door to your future of abundance and joy - it's there for the thinking...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Next...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;who knows&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-94231529517765134?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/94231529517765134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=94231529517765134' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/94231529517765134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/94231529517765134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2009/01/opening-doors-to-eternity.html' title='Opening Doors to Eternity'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-7112322029994605738</id><published>2008-09-11T11:13:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-11T12:32:40.107+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Heart Thing, I think I love you....</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;Clearing out brings with it discoveries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;Making space for  the new creates a vacuum as the old is dispensed with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;Since Nature abhors a vacuum, the clear space can be filled with the new.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;In this case the new came in the guise of the old.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;Don't you just love the play of equal and opposites?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;So, in the clearout appeared a long lost (or so I thought) manuscript  of a  novel I began many years ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/palm.jpg" alt="Beach of Life" align="left" border="0" height="293" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="198" /&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;This novel is born out of the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;A period of my life where I took a sabbatical for reflection and whose outcome was an opening of the heart centre that changed my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;The book is the story of two love tokens that journey and part, come together and find themselves in union of the most high.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;It is based on a  true story, as are all my writings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;The heart is the physical motivator of the life blood (literally). It is also the alchemical centre that transmutes vision, hope, desire, creative purpose and of course love into a higher vibration that can move mountains, create  new worlds and exemplify the very power and potential of us all as reflections and manifestions of the Great Orginating Developer's project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;That we so often ignore or are oblivious to this, our true nature and being, is indeed sad. But then sadness passes and we can raise ourselves to the happy highlands of contentment. It is down to us and us alone to seek out, find and utilise the utterly unresourced infinite  source of all our potential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;It lies within. There is nothing we need that is without. All that lies without is the summation and reflection of what we have so far found within. To change the without we need  to change  the within.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;Developing the love and beauty that is reflected around us to whatever degree is attained simply by further development of that which we carry within.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="para"&gt;Simple is an attitude and a commitment.

How much I achieved, be it beneficial or constricting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Whatever the outcome, the results were filled with a power that drove them to fruition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Looking back I can see how these feelings alongside the thoughts that drove them, brought me exquisitely to the goal they epitomized.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Just as night follows day, the inevitable outcome was marked down as certain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Most times I dwelt on the lesser. That is to say, I sowed and watered them with thoughts of not good enough, not deserving, ultimately not wanted, unable to through lack of money, means, savvy or other petrifying thought forms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/blog/uploaded_images/DSC00004-771227.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 220px;" src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/blog/uploaded_images/DSC00004-771096.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Just as powerfully as I focused on these and repeated them as daily habits through the mantras of negative thoughts, they accumulated a power that delivered big time, on time and proved my beliefs beyond measure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Yet I mostly blamed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt; outside external forces for these results and continued the process anew. The self flagellation of this mind set was, mostly, brushed off as the residual dust of energy zapping activity of achievement towards a distant goal that I always believed was achievable despite the knocks and bashes of what often turned into dead end deliveries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Conversely, when I was in an &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'up state'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and using all the power, beauty and magnificence of my positive and life enhancing thoughts and processes, the results came to deliver me the goals I knew were mine for the achieving. Often the scant gratitude that I honored them with, allowed for a short and energized high of achievement. But then gratitude had not registered its potency to my enfeebled appreciation at that time and thus success was a long distant dream still.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;img style="width: 246px; height: 147px;" src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/dorsetdusk.jpg" alt="Dusk in Dorset" align="left" border="0" hspace="12" vspace="12" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Another disempowering disadvantage was that often or not I gave these constructive and rewarding thoughts less emphasis and practice than their opposites, so the delivery process was a lot slower and had to negotiate barriers and hindrance of my negative outlook as they threatened to sabotage the progress of great ideas, actions and movement forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Today I am testament to all the inner and outer battles that I had created for myself and the fact that I am inwardly and outwardly far happier, content and authentic, richer by far that those days of yore and outwardly able to express all that I have learnt in ways that have been developed from the rich storehouse of gifts that I carry, is a joy and inspiration that exceeds words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;It now gives me the greatest pleasure to wake in the morning and know that today I am on course and empowered to share the joy of life with all that cross my path. To use my gifts to reach out and connect, touch and enthuse others to do likewise and better than I.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 51);font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 140, 0);"&gt;I  am also so grateful to all those known and unknown who have enabled this journey of mine to continue and be shared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;So today is a beginning of great adventures, wonderful potentials to peruse, pursue and propagate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;In denouncing and then changing to its opposite any thought that does not serve you is a powerful and immediate tool, resting in the set that we all carry. That it changes lives and brings all that is dreamed of and actioned in a certain way, is possibly a miracle of humongous proportions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;I am now off to tend the new shoots of creative endevour and water the soul they are nurtured within.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Bless life, Bless love and all that flowers from Her.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Next.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 232);font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Writing from the heart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/514107920152337550-8439560246933399902?l=thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/feeds/8439560246933399902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=514107920152337550&amp;postID=8439560246933399902' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/8439560246933399902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/514107920152337550/posts/default/8439560246933399902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefreedomcycle.blogspot.com/2008/09/beginning-at-beginning.html' title='Beginning at the beginning'/><author><name>Jonathan Louis Trapman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04390581812940183826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L-W1npKqIDI/SNFb2zgGPVI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Ch-CgigyUkA/S220/selfportjlt100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514107920152337550.post-1244250309723146708</id><published>2008-08-28T00:57:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T08:30:27.938+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Burden of Power - The Potential for Change</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;With Power comes responsibility...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;This truism holds never more forcibly than today. Today we hold more power in our hands and in our understanding and knowledge than for many millenia.&lt;img src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/lightning.jpg" alt="lightning power" align="right" border="0" height="170" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="264" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;How we implement this power and how we interpret it has been a judgement call down the ages - since time immemorial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;The difference today, with information and knowledge being so immediately available and at our fingertips (literally), is that we have as a whole the ability to change, transform and make huge leaps of awareness in the mere twinkling of an eye, compared to time gone by.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;Yet in spite of these available sources, there lies a vast sea of habitual slumber and resistance to change that becomes an impediment to progress on a physical, mental and spiritual level.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;Was it always  so?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;If we are to believe those that have handed down the history of evolutionary process, yes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;Looking at the development of humankind we perhaps construct a Darwinian fable of survival of the fittest and recognise that the hierarchy of power is for the higher good of all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;Yet systems come and systems go and surrounding so many there is the constant repetition of  control, competition and subjection of the many.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.thefreedomcycle.com/image-files/01brain.jpg" alt="brain power" align="left" border="0" height="235" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="214" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Where this has not been the case, we can find a benign and sensitive understanding and co-operation  aligned with an awareness that the individual parts are merely the &lt;/span&gt;operation&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of the whole&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif;"&gt;When this is respected, acknowledged and co-ordinated with, the growth of a powerful, interdependent and unusually creative state blossoms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
