Thoughts
are Things
Excerpt by © Alfred J.
Parker
How strange it is that two people will rush into the
state of marriage for the happiness that they never
find, only because they expect the other person to
provide it. Happiness lies in one's own
thinking. We see our sweetheart as an angel or the
acme of perfection, and then after a year or so of
self-satisfaction and there are no longer any new
thoughts or desires and life becomes routine,
innumerable obstacles arise from nowhere and the worst
in each person comes to the surface.
It is the same old
problem that in paramount in all of mankind's
affairs. Lack of proper objective and no
ideals. Marriage cannot be based upon physical
and mental satisfaction where mind has been centred only
upon self. Anything physical or emotional is only
temporal and subject to each person's capacity to enjoy;
for instance, one can eat only until satisfied and then
food loses its flavour and appeal.
All things, marriage
definitely included, must have a specific objective in
the same degree that a child studies and works for a
final graduation, which is a plane of thinking and
completion. Personal effort and constructive
thinking alone will guarantee happiness, provided the
objective is happiness and service.

So many people are
unhappy because they do not love the opportunity of
life. So many people whine and complain; they are
just like little children who cannot get their way and,
in so doing, they are ruining their lives. If they
could only learn to appreciate this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity and find joy in whatever they have to do!
It is so typical of
children when you ask them to mow the lawn, do the
dishes, hang up their coats, run an errand, or take the
garbage out, to whine, whine, whine, unless they have
been educated, unless
their minds have been reached by the parental guidance
to see life from a different, optimistic point of
view. Too often that attitude continues as they
grow older, complaining because they do not have a
better house, or because the car is a wreck. There
are so many things to find fault with and be
unhappy. Then they become critical of
others: "Look at what they are doing. Look at what
they are wearing." There is always that
down-in-mouth criticism, gossip, and destruction of
happiness because of a fundamental lack of appreciation
of life.
Life is to be loved and
as we learn to love life, life becomes a beautiful
experience. When the leaves are falling, raking leaves can be either a chore that
one detests or it can be an opportunity to get out in
the fresh air, even if it means rain hat and
slicker. Enjoy the experience of raking the
leaves, learning to accept life as we find it because,
whatever our life is, it is a result of our
thinking. Whatever experiences we have, we have
brought them to us as a result of either our creative
process of effort or our passive state of
acceptance. If we fail to steer the car, it will
end up either in the ditch or down over the cliff.
If we have not taken hold and steered our lives into the
experiences that we desire, then we still have the
responsibility of saying it is our own fault.
With the knowledge of
name and cycles, breathing and positive thinking, we
should be able to create happy lives. We should be
able to create lives of enjoyment and fulfilment.
It does not matter whether we are rich or poor, handsome
or ugly, beautiful or plain--or whatever-- those things
do not really matter. What matters is the
expression of the spark within. We all have the
same opportunity in mind to discover the Principle and
live it.
There is nothing more
challenging than dealing with oneself. When it
comes to dealing with moods, irritations,
self-discipline, and mental attitudes, it is
different. It takes a more specialized pattern of
thinking, a more specific pattern of
self-discipline. It takes a broader concept to
bring that development of mind to its fullest potential
of expression.

DWIGHT, MURDO, TIMMY, BILL, SAMUEL, AUSTEN,
LAUREN, LAURIEN, WILLOUGHBY, BRIGGS, MAUDE, PHYLIS,
BEULLA, LEONORA
These people enjoy working with others in
circumstances in which they can organize and direct
their efforts, preferably from an executive position.
They rely upon their self-expressive qualities to make
their way in life. Being philanthropic, they would like
to do something of importance in service to
humanity. They have clever, ambitious, discerning
minds, and like to specialize in whatever they
undertake. They can be shrewd in money matters and since
they have expensive tastes, their possessions reflect
quality and comfort. They have generous,
cosmopolitan, and somewhat flamboyant personalities and
are not people to enjoy too simple a lifestyle.
Because of their big ideas and vision, their desire
is to start at the top rather than the bottom of any
occupation, and sometimes they try to do too much with
limited finances. The monotonous details in any
undertaking do not appeal to their visionary,
idealistic, imaginative natures. They find it difficult
to be patient and persevering, unless other traits in
their names offset this tendency. As they are proud and
do not want to leave the impression that they are under
any difficulty, they always appear to have everything
under control, despite any hardships they may be facing
at the time. Occasionally, they are generous to a fault
but when they realize they have overspent, they watch
carefully how dollars are spent at home. They like to
leave the impression that everything is under control.
Sometimes their seeming lack of sentimental display
in personal affairs creates misunderstandings because
they tend to be matter-of-fact in the expression of
their deeper feelings. They must learn to be tolerant of
the weaknesses of others and to be fair in their
judgment, not measuring from their standard of practical
thinking but recognizing the needs of others. They
do enjoy home and family life.
Generally, they are good-natured; however,
occasionally, they may suffer with feelings of
self-pity, particularly if their financial success is
limited. They respond to praise and appreciation, but
could become over-critical and complaining if they do
not receive the recognition from others that they feel
is due them.
Stress may cause health weaknesses to centre in the
generative organs and/or the nervous system.

Questions?
Why does my name affect
all aspects of my life?
The name represents the mental pattern which stimulates
specific qualities of intelligence, either constructive or destructive. Destructive mental
weaknesses have an impact on our lives, limiting our
full potential. Some of us express the destructive
qualities of being stubborn, self-centred, blunt,
egotistical, or domineering. Others are limited by the
destructive characteristics of indifference, passivity,
or negativity. Qualities such as being argumentative,
intolerant, and scattering have never created
understanding or happiness. Being discontent,
small-minded, chaotic, and moody all diminish our
success and overall health. Whatever the negative
qualities we express, we are undermining the harmony and
balance of which we are capable.
These mental weaknesses are linked directly to the
unbalanced name. By changing to a balanced name, a name
harmonized to your inner potential, you can express
greater positivity and happiness in your life.
A balanced name is the starting point in the process
of developing mental freedom. As you become mentally
free of destructive patterns of thought and habits, you
will fulfil the greatest potential of mind: to express
wisdom and harmony in your words, deeds, and thoughts,
and bring your ideals into reality.

Plan
with Confidence
© Kabalarian writings
What does 2003 hold
for you?
As nature expresses both
negative and positive conditions in the depressions and
plentiful seasons of nature, so does the human mind have
its negative and positive conditions: times when
we are up and down in our thinking, when we tend more to
depressed, and emotional thoughts and our analysis and
good judgment is affected.
You should know the
cyclic conditions affecting your thinking and judgment
and you will know why you made poor decisions in the
past and why you could never understand the cause of your
mistakes. Only now, as you look back to any bitter
experience of the past, do you realize what vast changes
can take place in your thinking--depending upon the time
and conditions surrounding you at the time. There
are times when everything seems to come your way with
the least effort, and at other times, despite all you
do, nothing seems to work in your favour. These
are the conditions through which you are passing.
With knowledge of your
personal cycle, or the nature of the hour, day, month,
and year, the depressed conditions of the day will not
affect you adversely. The point is
to find the direct relationship of your mind to the
hours, days, months, and years, to know whether your
thoughts are positive or otherwise. The nature of
your decisions may well affect your entire life
materially, emotionally, and through the health.

Quote
of the Month
The universe cannot be
read until we have learnt the language and become
familiar with the characters in which it is
written. It is written in mathematical language,
and the letters are triangles, circles, and other
geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly
impossible to comprehend a single word.
Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)
