Sparse blogging (Again)

Sorry about the lack of blogging but I am on the way to Arizona and it is taking longer than I thought. :-(

Back soon...

Can one person make a difference? Really?

There are highly visible people that seem to make changes in peoples lives. For instance, without mentioning specifics, there are charismatic leaders or inventors that do things that can ultimately make changes in peoples lives. These people are examples of what can be done to instigate external changes that effect peoples lives.


I think that it if far easier to make world wide changes than the preceding paragraph indicates.


For another perspective, lets look at some statistics:


If one of one hundred people would do something that would make a significant positive change in someone else’s life every three months, how long would it take to make a world wide difference? Simple arithmetic says that in five years 20% of humanity would undergo a significant positive change in their life. In 25 years everyone would have made a positive change. Yes, I know that the statistics are way simplified but the point is that it doesn’t take a lot of effort for a few people to make changes in peoples lives.


I think that it if far easier to make world wide changes than the preceding paragraph indicates.


For another perspective, lets look at environmental influence:


If one person becomes more balanced and better understands their own potential, then people around them are affected. The balance spreads into the immediate environment. This makes it easier for others that are in close proximity to find a better balance, thus creating a widening spread of balancing influence. The widening influence combines with other spreads of influence, creating an ever growing spread of influence.


I think that it if far easier to make world wide changes than the preceding paragraph indicates.


For another perspective, lets look at etheric influence:


People are connected in ways that extend beyond physical contact. The hundred monkey theory is a good example of influence that extends beyond physical contact or, for that matter, technology. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth-monkey_effect for a good description. The one hundred monkeys were focused on good clean food and they helped many more monkeys solve their localized food problems.


I think that it if far easier to make world wide changes than the preceding paragraph indicates.


For another perspective, lets look at more universal influence:


If one hundred monkeys can help with food problems through their combined need or thoughts, what would be the influence of one hundred people combining to help bring peace to their location or their culture? What would be the influence of one thousand or even one million people visualizing or focusing or meditating on a common peaceful goal?


The key is a common localized focus without judgement and without preconceptions. Nothing more, nothing less.

Magic is personal.

Every once in a while, while meditating, I experience something that seems to be well beyond my knowledge, yet alone my experience. That happened today. Below is what I immediately wrote down.


There is a place where magic is known.

There is a place where magic is used.

There is a place where magic is real.

Magic is hidden in plain site.

Magic is within the heart and mind of yourself.


Don’t be afraid of magic.

Look for magic.

Expect magic.

Recognize magic.

Practice magic.
