http://www.mainstreetantiquescollectibles.com/ I just published a story about the service we should and can do for others as humans.. being a humanitarian has somehow lost a little in the translation of what it really means to do something for those humans around us.  in SOUL and SOIL I published a short story and there is a great deal more behind it... about my step mother and her facing death last year ... and another family who owns a small antique store that has also overcome so many things. THE human spirit is amazing. keith

Our souls are so complex and have organic origin far beyond what any Science has been able to determine.  I believe that we are just a small portion of the intelligence in all of the galaxies.  However, our human souls, the part that gives us the higher level of reasoning power, the light , the knowledge , comes from all kinds of sources.  We humans are so complex, the universe is so vast and so complex, and as we have seen on the history channel recently, there are so many galaxies and suns like our and then an infinite amount of stars, hundreds of universes that it is my firm and total belief that intelligence and spirit and spirituality exists here on our planet and exists throughout the entire system of universes.  TO me it is com...

I have followed many of your thoughts and comments and really like the effort you put into this one! I think one part of the equation that many of us forget about is that all relationships are based on the ability to be able to COMMUNICATE effectively. Whether your communication style is direct, authoritative, etc. most of us forget the basic principle of effective communication... and that is first... to listen:... really listen. Meaning, don't comment until you have heard everything the other person has to say. the other: is to ask QUESTIONS and NOT make statements . Making statements first always gives the impression to the other person that you might know it all or that you are being condescending. This is true in every com...

My new website : www.soalsource.com is now www.nuorganicsnow.com www.soalsource.org and .net... are working but org has to do with the organic brain issues and net deals with the organics of growing , using , recipes of all organically grown items. This talks about exactly what it states in the website name.. where as soalsource .. you had to read to see it was about organics.  My journal entry today is about communication.  Whether we are speaking to a group or our spouse ... our communication skills can be very beneficial.  There are several books but one I refer to in my groups is written by John Gottman along with other authors.  A past professor at U of Illinois Urbana.. this author shows and expresses along with activiti...

I have been persuaded by Linda's new face lift on her POWERINWE.org site ... to write something about what the vision she presents means to my stage in development in my life.  Many of you have taken the opportunity to join me in looking over the journal entry to look at New Year resolutions in a different way.  While going through the exercise of changing my resolutions to evolutions I discovered a very powerful addition to my way of thinking about setting any type of goal or self improvement challenge.. and that is to also add the DIMENSION OF HUMANITY/HUMANITARIANISM... how does what I am doing/going to do effect my humanity and contribute to the world as a humanitarian... in other words, WE ALL NEED TO BE PEOPLE WHO PROMOTE HUMAN WEL...

please visit http://www.brainazone.com   THere are four accepted brain wave electronic cycles in the brain.  Delta, 0-4 cycles first , then Theta. 4-7 cycles , second, third is ALPHA is 8-13 cycles and then Beta, 13-40 cycles.  Each pulse cycle has it's advantages and disadvantages.  Without Delta, we would not be able to sleep deeply and would have insomnia.  HIGH BETA has many problems which is discussed below. ALPHA, we should all be very diligent in the process of accessing , changing, finding out about our alpha levels, and then making sure we change the level to have the maximum amount of alpha automatic responses possible for each individual.  This EEG . Biofeedback training, Alpha training is one of the most valuable scient...

THE main context is located here: www.soalsource.org it allows you to get a picture of what is needed to do to fully recover from all kinds of pain. Also, there are EEG Biofeedback centers that retrain the brain using the Alpha waves to calm the nerves and allow brain functionality in its optimal performance.  Athletes , trainers, and all kinds of professionals have caught on to this new FAD of BRAIN retraining.. getting to know themselves and the level of calm one can achieve through relaxation and training with tapes, hand temp thermometers, and also following  a regiment daily using centers of the brain .. in essence .. exercising our brains on PURPOSE..

I have followed many of your thoughts and comments and really like the effort you put into this one!

I think one part of the equation that many of us forget about is that all relationships are based on the ability to be able to COMMUNICATE effectively.

Whether your communication style is direct, authoritative, etc. most of us forget the basic principle of effective communication... and that is first... to
listen:... really listen. Meaning, don't comment until you have heard everything the other person has to say.
the other:
is to ask QUESTIONS and NOT make statements . Making statements first always gives the impression to the other person that you might know it all or that you are being condescending. This is true in every communications and effective relationship class/book/neuroscience testing and evaluation manual/etc. IF you, however, ask questions that clarify or allow the other person to feel that you are TRULY wanting to hear their side and also it allows you to actually offer up your opinion without coming across as a complete know it all.

I have many references and books written by PHD's on this subject and all of them have so many ways to approach relationships. ALL of them base the most fundamental part as the most important and that is effective communication.

I have referred many family members to psych. either MD or PHD, counseling to challenge them to learn how to better communicate and most everyone should take a class or learn how to do the same NO MATTER how much you are asked to assist with problems.

I thought I was a very good listener and communicator because people ALWAYS seemed to be comfortable coming to me with their problems. I learned that I was more approachable than most but I also learned after taking classes and being coached for two YEARS, yes two, by an MD, psychiatrist including monthly group sessions of six to twelve people, that I had a great deal to learn about really knowing how to effectively communicate to another person.

Most of the time, dealing with a family member is greatly enhanced IF that family member will go and get communication training , coaching, and professional medical assistance with their communication skills.

Thanks for your posts as all four of the areas you mentioned are included in the communication answer to this problem area.

Thanks for the comments... yes, my sister grounds me and she is the youngest and I am the oldest of NINE children... so we get info from all sources. I loved all your comments and I also believe that regardless of the unknown or knowns, this is the time we live.. fully and in the present. The purpose of most of my comment was that humanitarianism is a great deal more important to me and a focus that is spirituality of believing in an unknown or tortuous God that rules with guilt. I love the teachings of treating others as you would want to be treated .. but, as we know, some people treat themselves with disdain and horribly, so that doesn't always hold true! I like you , believe and think we should all know we are connected by this earth and the places we live. WE all should learn from each other, enjoy each other's talents and passions, and earn the trust /confidence/ and faith from our humanity at large... not unknown..unseen...etc. non tangible intelligences. Thanks for all your comments. KEiTH
 
New Year's Evolution--part 1
 Posted at 09:10:35 AM on Jan 11, 2010
I wanted to leave you with one resolution I did change. This resolution was to make a video/cd/dvd/download of an exercise in bed for bed ridden or otherwise challenged (post surgery mostly in bed, etc) and have it ready to distribute and marketed before June and by the end of the year, have sold on-line and paypal as many copies as possible. This goal was certainly attainable but it lacked exactly what Linda inferred in her journal entry: a challenge to make the resolution evolve into an evolution with regard as to change, development not only for me but for the interreated world around me which allows me to fit into the horizon of people exactly where I want to fit. SO, in order to change and develope I used the six areas of what I call disciplines which the goal might fit. Mental, physical, etc. I also added creative... as it was on the list of another well known life planning site...

THE type aerobics which is something I've done for several years now combining physical therapy with exercise in bed... because of injury, spinal problems, surgery, and other physical challenges. FOR me this was physical. So, I made a notation as to why, where , what and how this evolutionary project would benefit me physically. Then, I also noted how it might/or how I see it effecting others. Then, I also added creative and humanitarian challenges in writing. Once I had the now Evolution Exercise had many new dimensions. I scheduled in my mind going to retirement centers, where I had lead music in the past on a volunteer basis, and not only taking the video/cd/etc. but also providing on-site live demonstrations and actually taking the elderly through the paces of the physical exercise. I filled an entire page... making a one line goal EVOLVE into an entire more well rounded and more pervasive in my change,development, and in the community/humanity that I am a part of. Now, the challenge was making this resolution into something that through self discovery this an amazing tool makes me look forward to next January when I actually sit down and review how much I have been able to add to my own life as well as others around me. Resolutions tend to be "me" specific and evolutions are "we" specific by definiton and I envision an entirely new phenomean evolving with Linda's catalytic challenge to really look at a widely practiced tradition call New Year's resolution and make the tradition evolve with the progressive attitude she calls, "Power In WE"... that is one example and I've only finished one ... before I seal my evolutions, I hope to read what others are doing so that I might learn more from others doing the same/similar thing... evolving.

Of course, setting GOALS, as I've often called my resolutions will be enhanced by this ever so enlightening approach as to view these goals or commitments, things I would like to accomplish, as I view each one of them, I will apply the principle of New Year's resolution/evolution... how will and what can I do to evolve every one of these ideas to make certain I don't just meet the goals and accomplish them on paper, but in an added very real sense, I should be committed that each one of my goals or evolution statements apply real change and measureable examination as to how, once the year has ended, these evolution statements have really made me more of what I am and what I would to like be. SO, it is an exciting applicaition to goal setting. I have to now open my sealed resolution envelope and accept the challenge Linda has so adeptly indicates, "which is growth and development", instead of just measuring my growth my checking off the list to see if I had accomplished the goals I set the year before or not.

It is more meaningful, as I look at these goals, to me now because I have added to each one of the goals on my list how and why I want this to allow me to grow and develope into ... whatever the goal was in the beginning has now changed , into a very real way to measure my growth and developement. I have even now challenged myself to make the evoluation is all areas of development. SO , now I look at the spiritual, mental, physical, social, behavioral, and humanitarian aspects of my life and I have identified goals and grouped them in all of these areas.

This change has made 10 resolutions become 60 real areas of identifiable ways that I can grow and develope. Significantly these old resolutions as I have always called them have now EVOLVED into real measurable and identifiable ways that I as a person can commit to and really change/develope/evolve/"be" the best type of person I can be for THIS year.

Now, every goal has to be divided into several areas of definition. Meaning, one statement/goal/resolution has now been divided into why, how will it make me grow/develope? How will it effect others around me and allow me to develope as well as share with others as I change and develope?

I am sure this will EVOLVE over the next month and I will seal my envelope one more time BUT I have already changed in just making the annotations and comments on each goal and mulitipled by 6 times the amount of ways I want to challenge myself to grow and develope. Wow, this certainly is a more effective approach. THE PROCESS of simply changing these resolutions and goals into each area of growth and development that each area of change that we as people can change and grow and then also adding how I am going to be able to accomplish and measure what I have done with each area of my life... well, it has just started making the changes and finished five goals. Five statements that I usually just check off became 30 pages of growth and development in a spiritual, mental, emotional, humanitarian, physical, and social way.

This is a new journey that I am sure will evolve and change over the next month. I am going to anxiously await what else Linda will add to her next "chapter" and until then, I am working on my EVOLUTION Statements ... as with everything old and traditional it is always going to evolve and change!

I have done the same thing tradionally for several years. Of course, it is more complicated that just checking off a goal that you have met. Several things do happen during the year that challenge you to meet that goal. Through the years, my RESOLUTIONS have developed into challenges and accomplishments instead of just being a checklist of things like, "I will join a gym and workout five times a week" ... looking back, that was a goal I had when I had graduation from High School and now needed a place to exercise as I didn't have a gym like the one at school.

Even that goal, now that I look at it as a EVOLUTION instead of just a statement. I would have added... why am I going to do this and what will it do for me as a person? How will it effect my appearance, my self esteem? How can I use this goal to assit others? Should I be involving others around me so they can benefit and change along with me over the year though my example and efforts?What benefits other than having a nice body will I gain .. including how does this effect my daily ability to do school, work, and leisure time? Will it change the way I feel and help me emotionally and mentally? What effect does it have on society as a whole and does it effect the community? How can this also assist humanitarian efforts or who should I be volunteering to help attain the SAME change/evolution/ where it use to be simply a goal.

Did some of the above things happen when I accomplished my resolutions? Of course, some of them did. But, I never measured them or thought about how they were effecting myself, others around me, how I could make my goal meaningful to humanity, etcetcetc.

THE evolution/growth/change/and development now becomes a tangible, measurable, and effectual set of statements and questions that becomes a complex challenge. What once was a simple one line statement... has now evolved will and will evolve even more before I reseal my envelope, and once I have done that, and read what else Linda has to offer, I will elaborate on how this ONE change , this idea of EVOLUTION not RESOLUTION, has effected my ability to be the best I can be and involve all those within my reach and beyond, to change and develope into the best human they can possibly be.

Thanks for the ever so subtle change and idea that if followed will revolutionize ... yes, fundamentally change ...the way we approach our GOALS/Resolutions... so, by all means possible, change your RESOLUTION to be EVOLUTION... or as Webster defines it as one of it's definitions, " progression of interrelated phenomena" that in itself shows us if we, as one person, makes several evolutionary changes in ourselves, we are so connected, interrelated that we will automatically effect others around us......
