"The Universe appears to be more of a living thought than a thing."
"You cannot omit the outward if you wish to know the inward. The inward is reflected
in the outward world."
- Ananda Moyi
Attitude Adjustment
Some of us are inspired - we're tuned into our spirit guides or muses (or our angel, if we're
lucky). The rest of us need to do a little "self work". Before we get effective results, we need well
thought out plans. Before we get the plans, we need a wholesome attitude. To trick ourselves into a good attitude,
we need to meditate, or get into an appreciative mindset, or stop are value judgments, or stop or stinkin' thinkin'
mean-spiritedness. The ploys employed to adjust our own attitudes are called meta-programming or psychocybernetics.
Ten 'Other' Commandments
to Live by by Vickie Baker
1 - You shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
2 - You shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
3 - You shall not carry grudges, for they are the heaviest of all life's burdens.
4 - You shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway.
5 - You shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.
6 - You shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for them than you.
7 - You shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening
in your life and be happy now!
8 - You shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own.
9 - You shall not become "bogged down" by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will
only interfere with positive action.
10 - You shall count your blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a
big one.
