How I Create My Life

I got it! Had it all along, really. It is about my perspective. What I saw as "intrusive" thoughts were actually "programmed" thoughts emanating from false core beliefs. Furthermore, what I saw as "unwanted" thoughts were "wanted" but not in the sense that I understood "want". Rather, they were only a byproduct of those false core beliefs and by holding onto the false core belief I was, in essence, "wanting" them. The weight of those lies I believed was pulling me down into a lower energetic state. A self-fulfilling cycle of negativity. Finally, my fears that my negative thoughts were manifesting into the world as war, pain, suffering, etc. were true and by taking responsibility for my part in creating these things, I could finally take responsibility for my own beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions by "choosing" to believe the truth of who and what I am. Thus a simple direction to "Be the change you want to see :)" as Alison states above, finally makes sense. My life makes sense, I could not have experienced who I am if I had not experienced who I am not.

Heist of the Century

In my opinion, the most egregious act of unethical business practice to be found in the news is the $700 billion dollar bailout. Should this action becom law, it will represent the largest state sanctioned theft in history.
The rules of ethics should apply to all. Form your corner market to the largest financial institutions. You wouldn't back the investment in a business with a record of poor decision making, or bad credit. You wouldn't sell a home to someone with no down payment, bad credit, and no job. Most of all, you don't steal money fom hard working Americans to pay off the crooks/CEO's of companies that are failing because of the actions of those same individuals.
The CEO's and Presidents of these companies are guilty of greed, poor judgement, and unethical, if not outright criminal behaviors.
Of course, in my opinion, the government will overlook the ethics of the issue and allow everything to go on business as usual. The taxpayer is being coerced into going along with the plan out of fear of losing everything.
Ironically, if you took the $700 billion dollars and wrote a check for every American over 21, they would get $1.75 million each. Enough to pay all thier bills, put their kids through college and thoroughly stimulate the economy. If they all paid 10% of the $1.75 million to the government in taxes, it would amount to $35 billion towards the national debt.
By taking this action, the government will be sending the message that if your big enough, unethical business practices will we rewarded. It will create far more long-term problems than it fixes and will go down in history as the biggest boondoggle we evry made.

Stretching My Wings

So, I posted some stuff in the group forum. That is part of my weekly assignments, as is this blog post. I know this must be hard for some people. I'm lucky I guess, since I get to work 40 hours a week from home on my computer. As a customer service person on the technical help desk for a huge software development company, I get to type a lot.
It makes it easier for me to speak to you in this forum. I must say, it was hard to post in the group forum though. Probably because the stock market is something I don't know a lot about. That's why I took this class!
I am very excited about investing the $1000,000 with Donna. I already set up the Investors Business Daily subscription last week. They have a 4 week free trial going on. That gives me a month to get the money into my debit card account.
The professor says we are going to use Twitter. That's cool, I've been using it for about 6 months. A lot of people use it on their phones too, not me.
Here is a good video on how to set it up:
This is a funny video exaggerating how someone could be obsessed by it. Please forgive the use of the term "Twitter Whore", it's not a dirty or nasty video.
