Guest Blog from Geoff Thomson
Know this: a small world, one that offers limitation as
staple, one that is circumvented by fear, one that has
guards of curtail at every exit is not reality - or should
I say it is reality, but just one of a hundred possible
realities.
A small reality is the product of a small under developed
mind.
And also know this: all monsters and mad-men and demons and
demigods and every demiurge, they come from the mind.
The weak body, the shit job, the poor wage and the putrid
future; they come from the mind too.
Bullies, bad men and ugly folk, trace them back and you
will find that they all stem from the mind.
The villain the vicious the vapid and the vainglorious, are
rotten apples that have fallen from the mind tree.
Depression comes from the mind.
So does the vanquished and the hemmed-in and the haggard.
The mind is responsible for all.
Don Juan Matus said that our reality is but a single room
in a house of a hundred rooms and with training we could
learn to access the other 99, in fact with training we
could actually get out of the house.
The 100 realties come from the mind.
The house comes from the mind.
The realities outside the house, they all come from the
mind.
But the mind is controlled by a gargoyle. The gargoyle is
called ego, and ego likes to feast on sense gluttony, it
spoils on food, drink, drugs, pornography, alcohol and
noise! And it thrives on limiting beliefs and doubt and
blame.
And small realities.
It likes small safe realities.
The ego comes from the mind.
So train the mind is the art of austerity and asceticism,
they are the anathema of ego, its harbinger of doom.
Foster perfect moderation, adopt self control and give
birth to integrity.
Build your foundation on famished ego, and build upon your
base large, expansive, palatial realties.
Once you control the mind you become the architect of all
that comes from the mind.
Because….everything comes from the mind.
Be well

100 Realities.

Make your Blokes Valentine's Day
I know, I know: Valentine's Day is all about women, and deservedly so. Women absolutely have earned the flowers, the cards, the love notes, the sensual kisses, and everything else they have coming on that day, aside from the typical three-hour restaurant wait.
The focus should be on women (not maitre d's). But as long as guys are chauffering the love limo on that night of nights, maybe we could take a look at what they might like, as a kind of side trip on the way to destination You? Consider this his wish list for the day. And relax. No chocolate boxes, fading roses, or £5 Hallmark cards will be necessary! But he'd love it if you'd offer up...
Romance Lite. He knows he better come up with innovative ways to show his affection. Some guys will go with a flowery card, some will pile on the rose petals, and some will even pull out their guitars and write a sappy song (thanks for making the rest of us look bad, guys).
He's not asking you to do any of that for him, but if he arrives at the office on Thursday to find an e-mail waiting with five examples of why you dig him, or if he receives an instant-message that launches a day-long e-flirtation, or if you interrupt his morning with a caress across the phone lines, then you've begun foreplay before you even get together, and your night will be a whole lot hotter because of it.
A Thank You-In Early March. If your man goes full tilt on Valentine's Day-dinner, with candles, a table-side violinist, and a special dessert from the kitchen, you won't have much of an opportunity to launch your own romantic agenda. He's already planned the big show.
But you are free to demonstrate your appreciation in a number of ways, and one of the best is by planning a darn good time for the two of you a few weeks later. A woman who takes the lead (especially in response to the man doing so) is one of every guy's greatest turn-ons.A Surprise. If you're planning to buy each other presents, consider buying him some underwear. But here's the twist: Buy lingerie for you to wear, but make it a dainty little nothing you know he'll love to see you barely wearing.
Wrap it up and present it to him as his gift. When he opens it, tell him you're going to wear it out that night. That way, the lingerie becomes the wrapping, and you're the sexy present he'll get to open up later. That gesture, and the night of romantic expectation it sets up, will supercharge your evening together.
A Steak. If you want your favorite diet meal , go ahead and choose your favorite place. (Agree to eat really early or really late, or you'll still probably be waiting for your starters on Feb 15!) But your man would also appreciate it if he could order a 10-ounce steak, and if you would take a few bites.
Red meat is a building block for testosterone, which is a libido booster for both of you. Not that the effects are instantaneous, but the promise of more testosterone down the line can rev you both up right now. You'd be amazed how good nutrition can revitalize your sex life - check out this red-hot menu of arousal. Get a peek at what guys think of the holiday with this hilarious and helpful Valentine's Day Survival Guide.
