Approach Tasks with Interest ( A lesson written for young people)

One should always approach one's tasks with interest, and with the thought that, "What is worth doing, is worth doing well." Mind is a funny thing and sometimes a creature of habits; i.e., it can fall into a pattern of thinking and of doing things. In some respects this is good, although not in all things. System and order is good, but if too much of it, it spoils imagination and creative thinking. Thus you see that mind can be very versatile and can change its attitude to certain tasks and to planes of thinking. There are some tasks that do not require much concentration, for instance, cleaning up, washing dishes, dusting, etc., and working with some machinery where the work is under your supervision. In this systematic work, your mind is free for thinking of other things, perhaps a little more pleasant.

Let us adjust our thinking to the tasks ahead of us and always approach them in a happy state; life is full of many things, and there are some things that we like to do better than others. So as to balance all things, and make all tasks easier, let us lump our tasks together-- the happy and the monotonous ones--and imagine that we are painting a picture that requires many strokes of the brush to complete; any strokes left out would never allow the picture to be finished.

Life is like that picture; it is filled with many and varied experiences, and if we desire to continue to live, all experiences must be met with resolution and interest. Sometimes we can learn by doing the things we dislike doing. Not liking or liking things is merely a plane of mind in any case, a passing emotional thought or mood, just the way we feel.

If we desire to live a full and happy life, we must be ready to face any and all experiences with happy thoughts: taking the bad with the good and being happy in the living. There is another point of interest in attitude. How can we know just how good something could be, without the comparison with the bad? If everything we did was good, we would never know which was the best because there would be no comparison for measurement and distinction and then the best would be as monotonous as the worst, for there would be no variation. Variation is the spice of life, through which we learn to be ready for all contingencies; i.e., we must always learn to master our situations.

We can always succeed in our tasks if we approach them upon a relaxed and happy plane of mind. Have you noticed how when you are in a bad mood things do not go right? It is then that the most simple tasks seem impossible. Actually, when negative in your thinking, you are subconsciously telling yourself that you cannot and will not do it, and then you become belligerent and look for an argument. One can never accomplish under these mental conditions.

Life is a very hard taskmaster; therefore, each little child should be schooled to meet tests in life--situations that require patience, perseverence, and concentration.

3) Excerpt from "The Cyclic Law"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Alfred J. Parker

Time is the unfoldment of the reason of being through its being, the involutionary and evolutionary forces of nature endeavouring to create and mould a constructive pattern of living through the creative mind of mankind. Time is the mathematical and dimensional law of life; it discerns movement and motion in mathematical gradations of time and symbolizes distance, which we term the ages, the quality and nature of which are the sum total of human thinking. Whether an age is primitive, confused, one of murder and repression, chivalry, culture, or of musical and dramatic expression, is the result of human mind. Thus humankind colours the age, and not the age, humankind.

If we are ordained to reach spirituality of mind through an earthly existence, there must be basic laws creating a foundation from which to build a spiritual civilization. Each phase of life, abstract (mind) and finite (materiality) must have its individual laws and expressions of being.

Let us view time as the vehicle of expression, expressing the mathematical gradations of spiritual unfoldment. This we see working through the law of growth in plant life, through which is termed the Cyclic Law.

Cycles have been termed by science as rhythms of nature expressing through mathematical balance pulsating in perfect regularity and bringing specific conditions or qualities of life, such as seasons of growth and of weather and the rhythmic movements of planets and comets. These, and numerous other examples of the cyclic rhythms, bear out how quality or Universal Reason manifests through dimension or form and quantity--called nature and life. This is the proof of the divine intelligence behind all phases of existence.

The greater concept I am endeavouring to paint is that of Divine Consciousness through human mind. Time does not force you to do any specific thing, except to advance in age; neither can mind interfere with or stop time, but we can and must harmonize efforts with it, and do the things relative to it. If each age is supposed to record human growth and achievement, is it not logical that we should create that achievement--a specific age, the things relative to that age? Is this not God's Plan?

3) How to Make Each Number Happy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Kabalarian writings

Over the past issues of the newsletter, we have talked about the qualities of the birthpath. In this newsletter, we are offering thoughts on how to understand the different qualities, whether they be found in the name or the birthpath, and how to bring out the best from that quality. To calculate your birthpath, add the month, the day, and year and reduce the number to a single digit between one and nine.

June 12, 1975
6 + 1 + 2 + 1+ 9 + 7 + 5 = 31
3 + 1 = 4

A person born June 12, 1975 is a 4 birthpath. Calculate your own birthpath using the method above. The birthpath measured from the date of birth is the spiritual potential to be fulfilled by the development of the mind to a constructive plane of Spiritual Consciousness.

1 birthpath or name quality

How can we help the 1 find happiness? First of all by recognizing the inner needs of that 1 quality for independence, individuality, and self-expression. You can never crowd 1s. You cannot push the 1 quality by being demanding or forceful in any way. What you have to do is plant a picture in clear, simplified terms, because the 1s see the basic highlights, not the subtleties, not the details, but the simple premise involved. Deal with 1s in such a way that the plan is there to be seen and they have the freedom to choose and create their own responses, their own decisions. Give the 1s the opportunity to create something new and original.

2 birthpath or name quality

The 2s must have support and assurance from others. Never force the 2's into the circumstances where they are required to stand alone and battle opposing forces. The 2s have great strength in company with others, and that is not a sign of weakness. The 2s must have the assurance of being loved, understood, and appreciated. These are the nutrients that bring the best growth.

3 birthpath or name quality

The 3s need spontaneous expression. You can help 3s find happiness by not making life too serious, by not pounding them with too many details and decisions and forcing them to be too regimented. Give the 3s the chance to do their best in outward expression by giving them a chance to talk and demonstrate, to express musically and creatively. Encourage the 3s humour.

4 birthpath or name quality

The 4 is the quality that requires stability, and it cannot be rushed. When you are raising children in the 4s, you must give them the encouragement and you must show the patience to let them build step by step. The 4s need a solid foundation so prepare the 4s. For the 4s to find happiness, they need security, stability, and routine.

5 birthpath or name quality

The 5s are searching for new expression. The 5s must be given the challenge of doing their best at new things. The 5 quality responds best to the challenge without the restrictions of definite limitations--in other words, guildelines, but not limitations, the free hand. The 5s do not like to be tied down by restrictions, regulations, rules, and limitations. Of course, the 5s have to learn to find the balance. 6 birthpath or name quality

The 6s are happiest when they have stability in home, business, marriage, and family. All these things provide security--a form of personal strength. The 6s are happiest when you place in their hands the chance to use their minds and to control through their ingenious ability and intelligence.

7 birthpath or name quality

The 7s are happiest when they have security in association based on mental companionship and personal understanding. You have to reach the 7s and make them feel the confidence that they are not alone, that there is someone right beside them thinking as they do. 8 birthpath or name quality

The 8s are happiest in positions of control, where they have absolute freedom to direct and act in an unrestricted manner. The 8s are happiest when their reasoning creates harmony, happiness in others, and cooperative goodwill amongst all concerned. The 8s are happy when they can sense or realize that they are responsible for improving the welfare of life around themselves and around others in their sphere of influence.

9 birthpath or name quality

The 9s find greatest happiness in being able to give to others in every way: materially, artistically, emotionally, and spiritually. The 9s respond to love, applause, affection, and adoration. The 9s cannot cope with criticism and depreciation. They find encouragement in love and praise and this is the power upon which they draw for more giving and greater inspirational expression.

4) Quote of the Month
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
