Mary Shelley’s Vampires Enter Invited

What harms lay in lies?  “If a lie is told often enough even the teller comes to believe it.  It becomes a habit. And habit is like a cable.  Each day another strand is added until you have woven a cable that is unbreakable.”

So said extra ordinary confidence artist Yellow Kid Weil who on reaching his 70’s immortalized his Great Depression era cons in autobiographical form.  Since its writing, many of Weil’s stories have been further immortalized in sundry media forms including movies such as “The Sting” starringPaul Newman and Robert Redford, “The Flim Flam Man” starringGeorge C. Scott etcetera, etcetera.

Weil continued as he lamented, “It was that way with me. I found it far more interesting and profitable to romance than to tell the truth. It has taken me five years to break that cable.”

In his long career confidence career, Weil claims only to have met one honest man, whom he did not fleece and claims only to have taken men were no more honest than he, easily able to afford the loss, and didn’t care at whose expense they got it and were willing to go in with Weil in schemes they fancied would fleece others. 

“They wanted money for its own sake… They knew little — and cared less — about their fellow men.”

“If they had been keener students of human nature, if they had given more time to companionship with their fellows and less to the chase of the almighty dollar, they wouldn’t have been such easy marks.”

“Every swindle I ever developed had a hole in it somewhere. But I made everything plausible — to anyone who did not dig too deep or ask questions.”

How interesting that this idea of Weil’s taking only the dishonest is so very consistent with The Law of Attraction (LOA) which says that things which we have not invited cannot come into our existence.  That as we think, so it is done unto us. 

That as we think of fleecing, so we are fleeced.

Doesn’t this also bring to mind what we have so often seen themed in many Dracula movies?  Isn’t it interesting how Mary Shelley’s vampire cannot cross thresholds and enter home and hearth uninvited. 

What vampires and lies do we manifest?

How long will it take to cast them out?

According to Jack Rosenberg, better known as Werner Erhard, founder of EST, transformation always occurs in an instant and cannot occur in anything other than an instant.

And after our transforming instants we can manifest any new future, in our present, as we choose. 

How bout we choose truth?

Yes, let’s all choose truth now, Yay!!!

Truthfully yours,

Shoot for the moon even if you miss it you will land among the stars — Les Brown

“Shoot for the moon even if you miss it you will land among the stars.”
 
I recently was exposed to this phrase as attributed to Les Brown.  Being more familiar with:
 
“If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it’s OK. But you’ve got to shoot for something. A lot of people don’t even shoot.”
 
 I became curious.  The web attributes the phrase I’ve know for years to Confucius BC 551-479.  Wow, that dude is old… and wise, huh?
 
Evidently worth paraphrasing for a quote of your own too.  How cool is that?
 
High hopes for yours truly with the likes of these guys.   I’m aiming high I am.  Yay!!!
 
Isn’t it interesting how both of these phrasings are about aiming high, missing our original point of aim, and how that works out fine too?  Life is a lot like that, isn’t it?
 
Is it because we miss, or is it because along the way we notice a trail we hadn’t seen before we get onto the path and on which we decide to take a really cool detour? 
 
I’m all about cool detours.
 
In Confucius’ case, the miss (detour) works out okay on the moon.  We’ll leave out the part about no air to breath on the moon.  Heck, you make it to the moon, you probably bring your own air like Neal Armstrong.  It’s all good, I mean okay…  Okay?
 
Les on the other hand, misses his aim at the moon, and lands among the stars.  Les by missing goes even farther than his original aim.  Way to miss Les.  Yay!!
 
The key phrase with Confucius I think is his advising that “you’ve got to shoot for something.” 
 
That is really the key.  You must determine what you want and aim and focus on it.  Loading and pulling the trigger probably helps too… 
 
Both men strive for something sublime, something high.  Something out there.
 
Both men suggest a miss is still a fabulous outcome, given the high aim.
 
Both men tell us we have to choose something to get to the moon or the starts.
 
Confucius tells us, many of us will not choose, yet urges us that we have to choose.
 
We each get to choose what heights we will aim for if any.
 
What will you aim for?
 
Yours in choice,

The Beauty of Choice

Every day you choose and as you choose you commit.  This choice and commitment sets the Law of Attraction (LOA) in motion.   The universe  then responds to your choice.  This then sets Creation in motion.

Creation then begins to manifest according to your choice and commitment more and more of what you chose.

This is true with regards to choices of commitments, relationships, careers,… well, with regards to everything really.

So if choice is so powerful, what if we hold off choosing in order not to create too powerfully something we may not want later?

What would happen if your choice created something for you that later decided you did not want?

That what you chose is not for you?   

That you have enough of it?  That maybe you want something else? 

What if you have learned you just plain do not want this any more? 

Or that you have learned all of what you had to learn from this choice? 

What are you to do then?

Yikes, what to do now?

Are you buried forever in this choice?

The beauty of choice my friends, is we always have choice. 

Even when we choose not to choose again, this too is a choice.

By always, I mean as long as we have conscious life at least, we have choice.  Some would say we have choice outside this bound.  I am not sure about this.  I can tell you, you always have choice when conscious and alive.

So, if you have had enough of your previous choice, you can choose something else in the now.

You can modify your past choice.  You can choose something completely different.  Or, you can choose not to choose any differently.

It’s all choice.

You can choose again.

Every day you get to choose and commit.  The next day ( or second ) you get to choose again or not.

It all starts with choosing.  Then the universe delivers.  Till you choose again.

You are always choosing.  Old choices are in your subconscious, creating from there, until you consciously choose again something else.

In any event, you have and are choosing it all.

Why not choose what you want?

Choose it now.  Choose it again.  Or change it to another choice.

It’s all your choice.

It always has been.  It always will be.  On this, you have no choice… or do you?

Yours in choice,

Yucel

One Door Closes, Another One Opens

“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.’   When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.  Concentrate on this sentence… ‘The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.’  Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear.”  

I had been planning to write on “One Door Closes, Another One Opens” for a bit now.  I place little drafts or reminders of blog topics into a saved folder, then I come back to them and off I go…

Today, I decided to write on this topic and was going through some old emails, there was this one going back to April, 2009.   It’s title was “read this sentence closely.”  Nothing spectacularthere… then I read inside, and it was spot on the topic I intended to blog.  Coincidence perhaps?  Anyone here believe in the law of attraction (LOA)?  Synchronicity? 

In any event, I believe firmly that we create our own reality, and in order for something new to come into our lives, we must create space for it.  That is, One door closes, another door opens.  It is not the other way around.  It is not, one door opens, another door closes.

Sure sometimes a door opens; however, if we have not closed a door first, then we seem unable to go through the open door.  We are stuck.  Stuck until we have a closed door first, creating space for a new door.  Then when another door opens, and we are free to go through.

Perhaps you had a great deal available to you on the perfect house… yet you already had a house… so you passed on the perfect house.  Perhaps you had the opportunity to try out for a great new job, but, you already had a job, changing jobs was risky… so you stayed put…  perhaps a great new relationship opportunity came along, yet the potential partner passed you on, knowing you were already committed, or you were too afraid to fully make the leap yourself, being half in something else. 

Around May or June of 2008, I was getting over a relationship, but was still carrying its pangs with me… and, though I dated a great deal, nothing was sinking in.  It was about that time I was learning about LOA, and put out to the universe exactly what I wanted…  within two days, I found her.  Exactly her… sitting in a bar at a casino.  I said hello.  We had a nice chat… it was exactly her… She liked me, and politely refused to date me…  because her time was too valuable to date someone who was emotionally unavailable, thank you very much,…  My doors had not been closed yet in order to be able to open with this lady…

Quickly, thanks to this awakening slap (spun my head clear around it did), I shed the energy around the past relationship, and within a few weeks that door was closed.  Being closed, a new door then opened quickly for me.  This door I was able to walk through.

Where haven’t you seen this?  One door closes, another one opens.

Who among you have noticed this in your life?

 Or in the lives of your friends or loved ones?

Who will use this?

Yours in peace,

Yucel
