Nearly 7pm {well it was when I initially started this} and a quiet house after 10 days of interesting dynamics and the chaos of 11 people living in a 3 bedroomed "tardis". The last night was probably the most revealing.It would have been easy to feel excluded many times as they all flew about like a flock of birds, gave me an insight on how it must/could be for Del as the only adult male within the group.
Strong women all- yes - BUT - for some that strength comes from bullying and or manipulation, heard a lot of talk that went without the walk {OK OK I realise that I said I would make a cake and never got round to it and got the strawbs out and forgot them too so I too am guilty of saying something and not carrying it through LOL}
Little beings who have little interaction with the wider world{pre-school} learn their behaviour patterns from those that they have the most contact with, so if the knowledge/pattern/habit is that of - if I kick up enough chaos no-one will want to challenge me, therefore I can get my own way with very little effort......mmmmmmm
The other behviour that stuck out like a sore thumb, was how females with forgive/be more lenient/excuse certain behaviours in their female friends that would NOT be tolerated in a man - this I not only find illogical and unfair but rather bizarre, if men also witness this no wonder that are confused poor sods, one rule for the ladies and another for them - uh uh we are ALL human beings first and foremost and should equally tolerant or intolerant if you prefer regardless of gender/colour/creed or culture......we ARE trying to create a more balanced/harmonious future for this planet and inhabitants and some things cannot be blamed on the politicians and religious leaders!!..........on a personal level I realise that these situations arise in order for us to tweak our own selves :) Something is highlighted that we might review our own behaviour/patterns and on that note I will say that their was only one what I would call genuine person so I hope that this is also showing me something
Of course today is the full of hype day LOL 08.08.08 NO IT'S NOT it's the 8.8.1......ah well horses for courses believe what you will so long as it is for the greater good of the ALL
COOPERATION
Before any kind of unity can be achieved in any endeavor in which polarity reigns with the confusion, reclaimed from eons of learning about the differences between opposites, that might rightly be called oppositional juxtaposition of sources of power, opposites must master attraction of that which has been resisted........In himself, cooperation is achieved when, on consideration that polar opposite forces are equally valid and therefore equally exempt from judgment, he feels peace.
Emotions, Self-Control, and Correcting Habits
by Robert Wilkinson
From the Magic of Space, some thoughts about fear, ignorance, and how much power we have to overcome these fairly easily. From Chapter VII, The Self - Its Relation to Space and Matter:
First, you should realize that all uncontrolled emotions are the result of ignorance or undevelopment, and this knowledge will rob them of their power over you. You will know that you are at the emotional point in your evolution, which is an indication of ignorance of your own power of self-control. Then you will begin to see the need of development, and will set about correcting the fault. A child fears the dark because he does not know its nature of its cause. If he is carried into a dark room and the light is turned on, and he sees nothing there to injure him, his fear is immediately dissipated. His fear was banished when his ignorance was destroyed.
If you can show a person that there is no "bad luck" except that which he has created, and that the "evil" he fears he builds for himself, immediately you destroy the power he has given to these conceptions. If a man is vain of his knowledge, and he can be made to see that the field of knowledge is unlimited, and that his vanity over the small amount that he possesses is but an indication of his great ignorance, immediately his vanity disappears. So it is by enlightenment that any or all of our emotions are controlled or eliminated from us.
The second great aid is this: if we understand what habit is, and know the law which underlies it, and if we know that much of our yielding to our lower natures and lack of self-control is a matter of habit, we shall be able to destroy habits much sooner than if we do not understand them. There are two elements which enter into the formation of a habit. The first is what might be called the law of periodicity, or periodical return, and the second is the initial impulse. The law of periodicity causes a thought or an act to be repeated within a determinate time. The intensity with which the thought was projected, or the act performed, determines the time in which the tendency to repeat itself will manifest.
