Rich Beyond Words

Would you believe there are a whole lot of chocolate health benefits growing on trees right now? The sought after cocoa bean which is indigenous to Africa and South America should be eaten in it’s naked raw form for the ultimate chocolate experience.

The taste is quite heavenly. I’m talking about the real thing which comes from the cocao plant , pronounced kuhkow and not cocoa. We are all familiar with the commercial chocolate made from roasted cacao beans. Actually the cacao bean is one of nature’s most powerful foods.

The typical cocoa which we use for baking, or use in chocolate fondue recipes has been defatted and treated with chemicals and alkaline salts.

So lets take a squizz at raw chocolate health ingredients:

Raw cocoa is abundant in flavanoids. What the heck is a flavanoid you be asking now. No it’s not an added flavorant , it’s a class of phyto chemicals called polyphenols. Thousands of flavanoids exist in ample amounts in plant based foods. Latest studies reveal that some flavanoids protect from certain diseases, especially heart diseases.

Potent antioxidants – more than in red wine, We all know that sipping too much red wine can get you into trouble! So rather nibble on chocolate. Antoxidants significantly reduce the risk of heart attack.

Copper- a lot of women have a copper deficiency. A good source of copper is in liver. Yuck – I’d rather eat chocolate.

Phenylethylamine followed closely by theobromo which is the magic ingredient of lifting depressions.

Raw chocolate also has small amounts of straight caffeine, great for a little lift me up snack.

Magnesium which is also credited for giving one those euphoric feelings when eating chocolate. If you’re a woman then take note that magnesium levels drop during menstruation so it’s a good time to tuck into chocolate.

Serotonin and tyramine are also in raw chocolate, which have a gentle calming effect.

So when you get the blues eat chocolate – no wonder it’s called a comfort food because it has exactly that ability – to comfort. But I must warn you dear reader that only raw chocolate has these chocolate health qualities. If commercial chocolate lures you and you like to munch a lot of it, then don’t expect to have to have these astounding chocolate health affects.

Stop anxiety by putting an end to those nasty feelings that creep up on you and turn you into mush.

If you’ve suffered anxiety for years or even decades, you know that it takes only a fleeting thought to throw you into the anxiety pits.

Folks with anxiety symptoms operate on low batteries which don’t seem to be chargeable. Common if you’re an anxious type you know exactly what I mean. That crummy feeling of being strangulated is not what I call exhilarating.

You need to stop anxiety some how.

What can you do?

• Visit a Dr. on a regular basis who goes over your past till you’re so tense with anxiety that you die a painful death each time you’re on the couch. Never mind the anxiety earned cash you’re paying to go through the torture.
• Get a prescription for feel good drugs which leave you numb in other areas .
• Infiltrate new thoughts into your cerebral area.

Personally I prefer the last option to stop anxiety. It’s not an overnight process but by monitoring your thoughts it can be done. Monitoring thoughts requires some discipline but is well worth it because it ensures genuine change from the inside out.

Affirm new statements into your soul and mind. Tell yourself uplifting things like, “I’m free of imprisoning thoughts.”

Now you may be accusing me of positive thinking woo woo stuff which never got you any where. You’ve read all the silly literature about comforting your inner child and you still feel tense. Well that’s because just reading about it won’t help. You have to genuinely want to change and then take some sort of action. And changing your thoughts is an action. It’s enough action to change a whole lot of conditions.

Easier said than done?

Yes. You can record yourself affirming the things you’d like and hear your own voice telling you all is fine. Or even better get a CD of statements that have been recorded professionally and played over a background of relaxing music using binaural beats to get the message home. It may seem like woo woo nonsense but I promise it works because all anxiety originates in your cerebral area. That’s all it is. Thinking about your anxiety will only worsen things and make you more anxious.

You can stop anxiety and you should stop anxiety so you can have a life.

“My grandfather took me to the fish pond on the farm when I was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone.
Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone person.

“You may create lots of splashes in your life but the waves that come from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures,” he said.

“Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles.
You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both.”

That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger. We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often.”

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

Today I’m discovering great things by Abraham!

I truly appreciate this source of knowledge on the Law of Attraction. It makes sense and is spoken in modern day English. There odf course other wonderful people who make great teachers, some of them dead like Jesus, Wallace Wattles & Charles Haanel.

I’m finding that the more I get into this stuff I’m remebering information I seemed to know as a kid. Adult hood seems to have removed it.

As you’ll see Abraham explain in this video that we are really the source of every thing we experience. I remeber reading that in The Master key by Charles haanel as well.

Watch this and get a clear understanding of what’s going on.

Ever heard about the movie “The Secret”?

You know the one by Ronda Byrne, which has people explaining that we creat our own reality and that we can have what ever we want. It’s a run away hit movie. The hype about it has slowed down at this stage. But still I liked the orginal movie with Abraham in it. The 2nd release just doesn’t have any power in it for me.

Here’s an interesting clip.

I get off on parables. Modern day people also have a nice selection. Not only the dude in sandals knew how to talk in parables.

Here’s an interesting one by an unknown author:

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered – he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”

The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr.

Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said, “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house — like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.

But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral; the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

The next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember — when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage and help one another.

Hey, want to really change the way you think and sort out your life?

Never let is be said that faith doesn’t work.

It does if you let it.

Let me tell you about Princess and Charly my pet rabbits.

Princess and Charly came to live with me after living in a small cage and being pretty much ignored by their owners.

The first thing I did was release them into a big pen so that they could hop and do rabbit things.

Then somebody I know told me you can let rabbits hop in the garden, they know where “home” is after they’ve settled in for about 6 weeks.

It was a pleasure to watch these two hippty hop around the garden, grazing grass just like sheep do.

One morning I went into the pen to let them out, like I do every day and Princess came to my feet which was very unusual as normally you couldn’t catch them.

I picked her up and to my horror I discovered that she was being eaten alive by maggots. It was not a pretty site.

What amazed me is thatI hadn’t noticed earlier due to her doing rabbit stuff until she was completely drained of energy.

I took her to the vet where I was told she had little survival chance.

The vet put her to sleep when writing with kind words. In truth I made the decision to take her life.

Princess was not used to freedom and even worse she was not accustomed to eating green food. Her body reacted with diarrea. In warm weather flys come and lay their eggs on the feces which is still sticking to the fur. The eggs hatch and the maggots eat their way into the rabbit.

You can be sure that this is ghastly to see.

Anyway after having put an end to Princess and feeling guilty about my lack of faith I discovered that Charly also had rectal bleeding and was loosing his fur.

Off I ran to the vet again who gave injections and medication.

But it didn’t help, the bleeding got worse.

Feeling desperate I just decided to see Charly getting better.

I thanked God for his healing and firmly stuck to my faith.

Slowly after about a week, the bleeding got less, the fur grew back and Charly got wilder!

Now Charly lives in my garden like a field rabbit and is very healthy.

I didn’t give up, every time I saw him ill, in my minds eye I saw him perfect and at the same time I thanked God for his healing.

Call it what ever you will. I call it God helping when I asked. And then trusting that the healing will happen.

I think Mr. Bean is hilarious.

He makes me laugh and laugh. Laughing is good for you. It just feels so freeing to laugh. It’s true that most people laugh too little.

I know I laugh too little. I take myself far too serious.

How about you?

Watch Mr. Bean do the Mr. Beanbastic to the sound of Mr. Bombastic.

In real life Mr. Bean is played by Rowan Atkins. He plays Mr. Bean with such passion he is Mr. Bean.

I wonder if in private Mr. Atkins is surly and wears a stylish black suit?

Here’s another wonderful parable:

Once upon a time two brothers, who lived on adjoining farms, fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a conflict. Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s tool box. “I’m looking for a few days’ work” he said. “Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?” “Yes,” said the older brother. “I do have a job for you.”

“Look across the creek at that farm. That’s my neighbor; in fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll do him one better.”

“See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence –an 8-foot fence — so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation.
Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.

The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge — a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all — and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched. “You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand.

They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said the older brother. “I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, but I have many more bridges to build.
