As a writer, you need to sell your work in order to make an income. But, as a creative person, sales can seem like a ugly thing that has to be done. It doesn’t need to be that way.

Loral Langemeier wrote in her book The Millionaire Maker’s Guide to Creating a Cash Machine for Life that many people are afraid of sales “because they don’t want to be seen as pushy.” This comes from the common misconception that sales needs to be pushy. It doesn’t.

Pushy sales people have money and their ultimate goal. They don’t care if their customer gains anything from the purchase, so long as they purchase. But sales is really a way of offering your unique expression of service to the world.

The Spirit of Life - a Shaman’s Perspective

Guest Writer: Howard G. Charing

The shamans work with the power of the plants in many ways, the colours of the flowers, the perfume, their shape, form, and associations.

He held that the inner nature of plants may be discovered by their outer forms or signatures. Paracelsus also applied this principle to food, “it is not in the quantity of food but in it’s quality that resides the Spirit of Life”.

Nowadays these are principles which are very familiar, in particular it one of the fundamental reasons for eating organic food. The huge concerns regarding the consumption of genetically-modified (GM) food is a powerful demonstration of the notion and ‘gut-feeling’ that it is basically wrong.

The human brain uses the senses and sees the world as “it appears to be” through these five senses. It sees disaster and destruction, it feels pain and suffering, it hears limitation and poverty, it smells disease and pollution, and tastes hatred and death.

The mind is perfectly capable of controlling the brain; the brain is only an organ, a tool of the mind. The mind is your spirit, it is who you are. Your spirit is what causes you to live.

The Law of Spirit is usually given in the shortened version that many of you have probably heard; “as above, so below” but is more accurately stated “as it is within so it is without.” Everything that exists now was started with a thought. Your mind, also known as your spirit, first thought of something and now it is real. You bring into reality that which you think of.
