Creation

Written by Ed Howes


Inrepparttar beginning; inrepparttar 129274 beginning – God; inrepparttar 129275 beginning God created. Inrepparttar 129276 beginning of what? Inrepparttar 129277 beginning of all creation or inrepparttar 129278 beginning of a particular creation? Sincerepparttar 129279 Bible story appears to be about a particular people and their relationship to their Creator, it is reasonable to believe we are talking about a particular creation. Yet, we can just as easily see two creations or more, early inrepparttar 129280 first chapter of Genesis. Genesis, Chapter 1, goes on to summarize what was created andrepparttar 129281 sequence. What ought to matter most to us isrepparttar 129282 mechanism or process of creation, which is only partially described.

It is clear by Scripturerepparttar 129283 method of creation is in part, allowance - Letting. We know by history and experience how poorly forcing and violence works in creating a desired outcome. Yet, except in art, allowing a desired result does not occur torepparttar 129284 foolish orrepparttar 129285 wise. If allowance isrepparttar 129286 method of creation, it stands to reason disallowance can block or preventrepparttar 129287 creation of things unwanted, as a dam on a river preventsrepparttar 129288 natural flow of water.

Scripture is not designed to supply every detail about how to do a thing. One has to ask questions and read betweenrepparttar 129289 lines. It should be obvious allowing a thing to manifest is notrepparttar 129290 first step ofrepparttar 129291 creation process. Before a thing is allowed, it must be intended by someone. If it is not intended it will not manifest. If you should ask what about unintended consequences, such as we see inrepparttar 129292 evening news, I say to you it was someone's intention to create what happened and we all allowed it. There is no such thing as an unintended consequence. Adam and Eve did not intend to be expelled from Eden. That wasrepparttar 129293 intention ofrepparttar 129294 serpent. Adam and Eve allowed that intention to manifest.

Before any thing is intended, it must be desired. This explains much aboutrepparttar 129295 state of affairs in our modern world. The desires of a few disallowrepparttar 129296 desires ofrepparttar 129297 many and only allow their own to manifest. The few know what I'm saying butrepparttar 129298 many do not know. They accumulate material, political, psychological and spiritual power to manifest their selfish desires atrepparttar 129299 expense ofrepparttar 129300 world.

Before one creates a desire for something, one must imagine it. The thought isrepparttar 129301 very thing necessary to beginrepparttar 129302 process of creation. Martin Luther King knew this and told us that he had a dream. Dreams are oftenrepparttar 129303 precursors to thoughts if not thoughts in themselves and imaginings are muchrepparttar 129304 same as dreams. We can now see Martin Luther King’s creation process in his work. Inrepparttar 129305 process, first camerepparttar 129306 dream or image, which led to desire, which became an intention, which manifested asrepparttar 129307 Civil Rights Movement.

There is an important creation lesson inrepparttar 129308 Martin Luther King story. When he publicly announced his dream,repparttar 129309 corporate power of a mighty nation mobilized a great opposition to it and we might think he would have done better to pursue his dream in a quiet manner. Not so. Because he revealed his dream publicly, he attracted capable people who shared his intention to manifest that dream. He found leadership and volunteers forrepparttar 129310 movement. This forced him to commit to his intention and stand fast inrepparttar 129311 face of overwhelming opposition.

There is a theory of Master Mind Alliance, described in a fifty year old book, called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The theory goes thatrepparttar 129312 more people who intend to manifest a thing,repparttar 129313 greaterrepparttar 129314 chance of success. Today, this Master Mind Alliance is called critical mass. We can't know when we will reachrepparttar 129315 critical mass to guarantee manifesting an intention. We do know it does not require a majority by any means. The critical mass isrepparttar 129316 true power ofrepparttar 129317 minority.

Filtering Values in the Dating Game

Written by Brian Maloney


Ever noticed that when dating, no one really wants to takerepparttar first step and open up a dialogue on a subject with depth and substance?

It would seem only natural to try to obtain such vital information in order to make a reasonable assessment as to whether your date could have potential.

However, most people, due to either being too uptight, or merely too busy playingrepparttar 129271 “let me put on my best face front”, whether it’s you or just a fraction of you, do not probe forrepparttar 129272 others’ values initially.

This, yet not brain surgery, can become quiet a hurdle to overcome even forrepparttar 129273 most savvy of daters.

Unfortunately, it may take many dates to overcome this obstacle and if you find that this person, is indeed not someone worth proceeding with, then guess what? You not only may have wasted your money, but worst yet, you wasted that precious commodity called time..

Do this enough, and you can see and sympathize with good people who just want to find another good person to spendrepparttar 129274 rest of their life with.

Certainly, I wouldn’t advocate anyone attemptingrepparttar 129275 hard-line approach with a prospective mate by asking them to “not beat aroundrepparttar 129276 bush” or to “bottom-line me”.

This will more than likely cause a seemingly fun loving person to simply disregard you due to your edginess.

Therfore, if time is one ofrepparttar 129277 most important things inrepparttar 129278 world and wasting it is like sleeping on a bed of nails; one would definitely have to discern that filtering and sifting others’ values prior moving forward, would assist in this crazy game.

Yes,repparttar 129279 days of going on blind dates and getting set up by others is still alive, but not as alive as it used to be, due torepparttar 129280 Internet, newspapers, andrepparttar 129281 like.

With that said, this emerging concept allows a seeker to almost be able to pick and choose like shopping atrepparttar 129282 local grocery store. This fact may sound crass, but it’s true, and this is whererepparttar 129283 future of dating is heading, even though you still will find a more unafraid crowd which some people would call lonely hearts

I see this as intelligent people who, when they submit themselves to a database of others, want to immerse themselves into something worthwhile, sooner than later, instead of getting lost inrepparttar 129284 potential maze of dating.
