I really wanted to post this up, so you guys could get a close look at something very special starting to happen. We are here (in this time) for a reason… hold on to your bootstraps…. we’re going for the “Big Ride”!!

Emotional Investment

At our core we are all emotional beings. Virtually every decision, reaction and behavior comes, on some level, from an emotional need or desire. While we love to see ourselves as essentially logical, rational, pragmatic creatures, the truth is, often we’re not. For the most part, we are overwhelmingly emotional beings.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you have a finite amount of emotional currency to spend each week (just like the wages you earn from work) and that you need to invest those dollars wisely to ensure the best possible return. Of course, we could argue back and forth about the notion of having a finite amount of emotional dollars to spend each day or week, but I think we can safely say that our emotional bank account is not some bottomless pit. It can run out from time to time. And for many people it does – sometimes for months or years at a time. I think we all know people who have invested their emotional dollars poorly and have suffered the consequences of living on or below the emotional poverty line.

What happens with most emotional investments is this little issue called “life”. We make the investment, expect a return, and then watch as life changes the rules. A double blow if the investment fails to return. What we need to explore is balance, common sense, and a little less attachment (all your eggs in one basket). By simply remembering you are not a bottomless pit of energy, you will begin to question what (or who) you invest your emotions in and hopefully avoid the huge disappointments that happen when your expectations are dashed

Sound and Vibration

In the same way that organs in the body pursue amalgamation, seeking to create perfect communion with every new cell, so the body in its entirety seeks harmony with its environment and the surrounding world of which it is a part. Increasingly, this is becoming harder to do.

Today’s lifestyle unfortunately entails living with noise. The etymology of “noise” derives it’s meaning from the word “nausea”, and we all know what it feels like to be nauseated. Everyday, we are bombarded by stress-inducing sounds. Loud “obvious” noises include lawn mowers, construction trucks, airplanes, ambulance sirens, police sirens, and crowded bars. Other subtler noises such as the buzzing of your computer hard drive, a faulty rheostat or overhead florescent light, cycle at frequency below audible range (16,000 cps) and are considered by some to be “dirty noise”.

Dirty noise has become the newest form of stress causing frequencies. These are the vibrations and sounds that we cannot hear, but do feel. Research has concluded that exposure to these (very low) frequencies for long periods of time can cause depression, anxiety, nervous tension, and irritability, not to mention headaches, nausea, and sleep disorders. Noise pollution is among the most pervasive of toxic pollutants to which we are exposed.
