			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Possessiveness has a lot of s&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t it, had to use spell check, anyway I have noticed on the internet that a lot of people take possession of websites, people and the weirdest of all experiences, I do not know if this is a mental issue we have with ourselves or is possessiveness in our genes and because we are alone and anonymous do we as people believe it is ok to do this or do we do it subconsciously, to me possessiveness is actually quite frustrating and annoying as well as unwarranted.<span id="more-255"></span></p>
<p>I know the internet is for all to use and to express one self but I have been looking through blogs and forums and reading articles and people expressing themselves seem to be possessive and selfish about there experiences and the worst thing is looking at some things I write I am doing exactly the same thing, is this normal are we all subconsciously possessive and selfish?</p>
<p>The realization of this has made me realise that we can not keep taking possession or control of situations, the part of us that needs to be tamed but not hidden unless we want to go back to mindless armies hell bent on taking over the world, is it really human nature to want to posses everything in there path.</p>
<p>What I am getting at is people who comment or post in forums, announce that it is there forum or it is there information, which I really don&#8217;t think they would do this on purpose would they? Articles that are written like they are the first people to discover the article topic, yet it just seems to be a a rewrite of a previous article I had read only a week prior.</p>
<p>Am I just reading to deeply into this or is the internet just a bunch of rehashed information put in different formats so someone someday may understand it, different view points from the masses on the one subject, maybe the re-wording of a subject may just change the world?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Massaging your body is a good way to keep healthy as it releases toxins from your muscles and allows the blood to flow through your muscles after they are relaxed, it also awakens the inner mind that is locked inside these memory cells, relaxing your tired weary body is a must and massage is a way that you can revitalize your body.<span id="more-253"></span></p>
<p>While I was getting a massage I decided to meditate during this massage and I did with ease, lost total track of time and was truly relaxed I even went to a dream state and discovered that I was wishing for my day to be grand, as I was already in the happy state all I wanted to do is to achieve my goals for this week, which I did by 2 pm this afternoon and had time to spare, only a few things left to do tomorrow which is only minor stuff which should not take long.</p>
<p>Solved a lot of things I was worried about over the past couple of weeks, by starting the day of with a massage I had a clear mind and was able to achieve these goals in record time and with great ease. Massage is great way to become one with mind and body, so next time you get a massage why not meditate while your getting it done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most misinterpreted name we name each other, a misconstrued observation, most people see as arrogance as are either shy or just uninterested in the world around, which to me is not arrogant at all, it is just who they are.</p>
<p>How I see arrogance should be interpreted as more I am the best forget the rest attitude is more of how I wish to view arrogance but the world mostly disagrees with me, or is it just a large group of humans that see how this is the way of survival.</p>
<p>Some people go by looks, is this a way to see arrogance in people.</p>
<p>All of this is just a judgement, an opinion that makes no one happy, except the arrogance of the person judging the moment in time, there is no point to it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The art of being truthful to yourself and others is not as easy as it feels, some have trouble even knowing what is truth or even the fact that they are not telling the truth, being who you are and finding yourself is all about the discovering the truth and being truthful to others.<span id="more-204"></span></p>
<p>But what if the lie is not yours and is someone else&#8217;s &#8220;truth&#8221; and you find that it is just gossip or a unkind person who is giving you disinformation to knock you over for what ever reason,the negativity of people not trusting in themselves and showing fear brings this nature out, showing the worst in them.</p>
<p>Being truthful too yourself so you actually can know when someone is lying, it  requires you to be emotionally sensitive and street smart &#8220;aware&#8221;, able to determine the difference between right or wrong, and learning to trust yourself and not in others, to some this may sound selfish but if you really like your sanity you may see otherwise.</p>
<p>Finding the art of truth is in you and you can easily master the art over time buy rephrasing the comments you make that you heard, under no circumstances do you make it yours or start something that is not truthful, only talk about facts and keep them positive, if every person chose to do this every one would actually be happy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Encouragement how many of you encourage people without doing the, &#8220;your doing well aren&#8217;t you!&#8221; or the gentle encouragement, &#8220;you did your best!&#8221;, well the last one I see more as a put down the first one seems cynical to me, its not about what is said though is it, it is how you say it, or even how it is heard from the other person so how would you encourage a stranger or even someone you have interviewed for a job or have you had encouragement form a stranger.<span id="more-158"></span></p>
<p>The fact is sometimes just a smile is encouragement enough to help lift someones spirits, if someone has let you down do you still give that half wry smile, the smile is but the slightest effort and must be used daily an with everyone you meet, this is not a request, just do it, but your not in a good mood you say well stiff shit, your mood moves from you too another person too another person, all you do is complain?, smile no matter how you feel emotionally and when you get that smile back from the other person your mood is gone. <img src='http://numinousjourney.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>To accomplish encouragement is to focus on the weakness last as the first and begin by giving the person there strong points when disciplining someone, the fact is the good emotion out weights the bad in any circumstance, being the person on the receiving end of discipline is never good but giving that little edge over at the start will be the encouragement to make the change that is needed wether in a relationship or at work this works, but I am sure a few times it hasn&#8217;t for me but that was between male and female, which is a delicate situation that I have not figured out yet.</p>
<p>But I will give it a go here, to male your best to be blunt and to the point, we can handle it, but to a female it can be a dramatic moment if you all of a sudden take the encouragement and turn it in to you need to fix this or that, that&#8217;s just a no no, just send her and email or even just leave it until it&#8217;s your birthday. <img src='http://numinousjourney.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (I am scared, giving up now!)</p>
<p>Mannerism is the true key to giving someone encouragement its all about the delivery and when, to list someones spirits for doing a good job or being a great friend, always use an upbeat excited to be complimenting them and be genuine about every word you say with out sounding cynical or down right nasty, smile and say it from your heart. <img src='http://numinousjourney.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The perspective of one persons view point is skewed by another&#8217;s  point of view , we all know that right? The fact that some people think there view point is all there is and is always right is the total opposite of someone who will always takes the other persons word, these too worlds collide especially in our current society of free speech.<span id="more-143"></span></p>
<p>The fact that we have right and wrong is a good thing, but everyone views things differently and has there own experience viewing this perspective, the right maybe wrong and the wrong maybe right in most situations, is it wrong to fight a war? Is it wrong to kill? for what purpose is this for could change your perspective depending on your thought.</p>
<p>The most controversial perspective views of our times is we have digital cameras and the Internet, all this technology makes us more aware of the entire world, we have CNN BBC SKY and CBS just to name a few these ENTITIES or Companies push view points on us but they also bring attention to the world around us, but is the harm they do when they force a view point on us worth there perspective?</p>
<p>The fine line between art and child pornography, between defending a country and destroying another country, the difference between right and wrong depends on your own perspective of right and wrong, making your own judgements through processing thought and emotion is the biggest thing we must overcome, we must stop allowing others to pushing opinions about important issues and make own decision, this is all that is needed to change our world.</p>
<p>To live your life your way is the of the IAM, you must forget to remember otherwise you already know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well its nearly a new year but why do some of us make new year resolutions at this time of year, are we just coming down from the high of Christmas and have the need to judge or change our self&#8217;s, shouldn&#8217;t a resolution be made when you are ready to make that transformation in your life? How many people actually make those said changes and how committed can you be when the first thing you do is make a promise to your self that can not be kept.<span id="more-141"></span></p>
<p>It just shows how trust worthy you are to your own self, you are just judging yourself in a moment that you make the list of what to change, most resolutions consist of losing weight or quiting or becoming more of something in your own life and it is all in that moment that the judgement is made, if you really wanted to change yourself wouldn&#8217;t you have done it by now or why not make a monthly resolution and make you goals more achievable and without judgement and leave new years eve to bringing in the new year with joy.</p>
