Just recently I have been looking into business opportunities and in particular looking at franchising opportunities.

Franchising provides you a route into business ownership with the back-up of a larger organisation. By purchasing a franchise, new business owners are able to avoid enduring the learning curve of operating a new business by taking advantage of a proven business model and product. It’s an opportunity to be in business for yourself but not by yourself. Franchises provide you with a supported business meaning you can get on with running it knowing that things like advertising and so forth are done for you.

I actually found a website devoted to helping folks like me find a suitable franchise. Believe me, this site has everything. Find franchise opportunity by business type, your level of investment, information on financing, legal stuff and much much more including a free newsletter to keep you upto speed with additions to the site content.

Hi guys and girls,

I have a method and philosophy I thought I would post on here.
I have this post on my website, www.liamsthoughts.com
But i will tell you about it in a little bit differently...

Liam's (My) Positivity Philosophy:

By Steps in Different Examples...

Step 1: Distract your self with the nearest thing, what ever fits you whether it be Music, Drawing, being with Friends, Blogging, or all at the same time, which i do...

Step 2: Think about a positive outcome, and a benifit of this situation whether it be negative or even nuetral, such as...
"this will only make me stronger", or "things can only get worse before better", so it gives you a reason to get through it...

Basicaly,
If you have a negative situation take all the out comes and turn them into positive ones, then repeat this in your mind and state them to people in conversation.
Basicaly,
You can't be positive about things without having negativity.
When negativity strikes, be prepared to think up positive outcomes and positive things about it rather then getting caught up in the negative side of it.
Get Caught up in the positive side of it until it gets annoying to people around you then you pull back a little bit and then when they aren't so annoyed anymore is where you are good and should stay at that point of positivity.

Hi everyone,

I wish to say to you all that I am extremely apreciative of your prayers, meditation and the giving of your energy.

And that there is now a new update on my back...
I visited the docter a few days ago, and after going over the MRI's, CT Scans, Bone Scans, X-rays and more he determined that I have what is called Sheuermann's Disease... But not everyday Scheuermann's Disease. It is atypical, meaning that some of the traits of Scheuermanns I don't have, but I have most of them and some of the main ones... But I'm missing a main Trait were the vertabrates are triangualar in shape, mine are normail shaped like everyone elses, Rectangular. But because of this, having the other Traits but not this one, it means that what I have moves and developes faster then if I did have this trait.. Basiacly In a year I was suposed to go paralized because they thought I had regular Scheuermanns, but then they determined that I could go paralized sooner then they think... Basicaly it has already started, I am now exreriencing the 1st stages. Loss of sensation in the legs, and electrical surges striking from my upper thys down to my feet.. Very uncomfortable, and hard to walk... So if you could, please still have me and my family in your thoughts and prayers, meditations and such...

Thank You,
Liam

There is no doubt that Obama captured the imagination of a great many people around the world. His ascent to the Presidency has been nothing short of startling and one has to admire his vision and his intellect. All of us can hope for better and more considered leadership from the US under his guidance I believe.

But there are two things I want to say about him and his dreams and vision.

The first is somewhat tongue in cheek and I am sure will bring a wry smile to all of us who are familiar with fundamental Christianity. In fact, it was my son Liam who first alerted me to this and that is that many fundamental Christians in the US believe Obama to be the Antichrist!!! If you go to Youtube you can find video after video there painstakingly pointing out the 'evidence' that this is the case (there are many who favor McCain in this role too by the way!). I sincerely find this amusing but it speaks to a deep hatred of all things not white, not unequivocably Christian and those of a left of center persuasion. Sad but true.

Sue Vincent has created a new website called Hearthfire and it is well worth taking a few moments to drop by.

In her own words the site "This site is designed to showcase the artistry of those who work in the realm of spiritual and inspirational art.

From paintings inspired by meditation and dreams, to mediumistic work and images rooted deeply in earth; music for healing and meditation, or simply for the joy of listening; poetry and the inner visions of writers.

Here there is no distinction made between the paths or approaches of our artists.

All seek to express their inner visions and communicate their thoughts and feelings with others.

We hope you will enjoy what you find here."

After extensive tests it appears that Liam has post-infection bone loss in his spinal area between his shoulder blades. What caused this is as yet unknown and testing goes on. However, this means he will face some reconstructive surgery early in the new year and so I would ask that you continue to keep him in your thoughts...

Many Thanks,

The old ones speak of winter
The young ones praise the sun
And time just slips away

Running into nowhere
Turning like a wheel
And a year becomes a day

Whenever we dream
That's when we fly
So here is a dream
For just you and I

We'll find the Sacred Heart
Somewhere bleeding in the night
Look for the light
And find the Sacred Heart

Liam is my 16-year old twin son and I have a request for those that visit these pages from time to time... two in fact.

Liam has a back problem and is currently undergoing a lot of tests to find out what the issue is. Without going into too much detail at this stage, I simply want to ask that you keep him in your thoughts, prayers and meditation and send him healing energy if you would.

That request over, you might also visit his little blog. Liam is a bright and animated boy with wisdom beyond his years - he even put me right from time-to-time and has humbled me on several occasions with his insights and viewpoints. His blog is at http://www.liamsthoughts.com. I'd encourage you to go there and leave a comment or two to let him know you have been. In particular, take a look at this post on his positivity philosophy....

Many thanks to all Asteroth's Domainers for your kind help with this....

A couple of months ago I began to feel the cogs turning again. The last two or three years have been a sort of static period in which no matter how hard I tried, things just wouldn't move. Just as I suspected, all of a sudden everything is now moving at once and frankly I'm not sure what is worse - nothing happening or everything happening all at once!

But now things appear to be moving I suddenly find myself questioning everything too. My spiritual life has become very dry. I barely meditate, the book writing has again dried up and that static-ness now appears to have gained a hold of my soul. I feel lazy, unmotivated and confused. I think I need to refocus and restart but on what path?

I am at a checkpoint. Which way to go and how?

I believe that we create our own reality and have written many articles on this site about that concept. Its the basis of Magick that we can and do create the world around us. But what if that were not true? Last night I had a dream in which I discovered that our lives were preordained. It was such an amazing dream that it prompted me to write this post....

Imagine that for each millisecond of time, our preordained life was captured. Our life comprised millions and millions of snapshots in time sequence a bit like a movie in which each frame is a still photograph but when run through a projector we get a concept of time and movement. Follow? Our life is already mapped out like a movie script and each millisecond of that script is there already waiting for us in sequence. Our consciousness then moves through the scenes reacting to events - to the script - so to speak. Instead of running the movie through a projector our consciousness is the projector. We don't have free will but we just react and learn. Learn and adapt to the journey created for us.

This is what I discovered in that dream last night. It shocked me to the core and turned me upside down... but it was just a dream.

Recently I had a chance to visit an old monastery here in the Czech Republic. You can read my 'normal' posting about the visit and the place itself on my Czech Republic blog for background details but in short Rajhrad is just outside of Brno and features an old Benedictine monastery that has been in existence for thousands of years. We actually visited the place to take a look at the Kodex Gigas which was on display there.

As I walked into the Monastery church however the atmosphere took my breath away. Such energy! As I began to look around, I noticed more and more strangeness in what is a Catholic church - esoteric and occult symbols everywhere and barely hidden at that.

I should have observed entering the building to be honest that this was a church with some sort of occult context. The front of the building features a beautiful virgin Mary inside what I consider to be quite an occult symbol - the womb opening....

But what initially struck me about the interior was the layout which appeared to fit the Tree of Life and the decoration behind the alter which surely is the Tree of Life!

Amazons electronic book reader - the Kindle - provides people the opportunity to download books and read them on the device. A few weeks ago I made Inner Journeys available to Kindle readers an was today surprised to find it is selling too!

Apparently my book is #8 in the Occult category, #11 in the Magic category and #13 in the Mysticism category....

Amazing.

A friend's email turned my thoughts to purpose which, coincidentally, has been a theme on my mind and in my life for the last two weeks anyway. Each of us is here with a purpose and each of us should try to live a purposeful life. The funny thing is that at times we do but then we drift until fate reminds us with a big prod that we should focus in on that purpose again.

When I read the bible, I get a sense of purpose in Jesus. At all times, in all actions, words and thoughts he is purposeful. In that regard, he is truly different to each of us. We get hooked into life. The little things, the mundane, the necessary and before we know it, we are drifting aimlessly through life again.

This has certainly happened to me of late. I got so wrapped up in stuff I lost the bigger picture - the one with a sense of purpose. I drifted and it felt like I was stuck in the thickest mud. A friend of mine reminded me to try to step back and see the bigger picture - see the purpose as it were. It was a jolt back into reality for a while but I know that being me, I will drift again... and probably sooner than I care to imagine.
