Apparently, one musr be a pretty special person to get a wand. Only 306 individuals in 27 countries have been deemed worthy, although Jack's post gives some slightly different figures.<br /> However, as "The powers of a wand are infinite and unlimited" I would expect that a single wand should be able to get rid of our problems.<br /> I have no idea what this is about. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/987#post-21146 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:51:46 +0000 starion 21146@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Grace: Play on words...first post was selling a wand... I figured if I were to take the wand...(like a fairytale...) that perhaps it would get my point across. Yes, and wouldn't a prince be lovely..... naught....

It's yours be well! Hey Hun, be careful what you wish for! Fairies indeed! No substitutes will fill such a void. lol! Yet, as there are no random circumstance. Perhaps, a prince/princess arrives precisely when one first attends to matters of preparation for the groom/bride.</p> <p>Make way... with these blessings always! </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/987#post-21143 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:12:18 +0000 starion 21143@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>All these stars are shining bright...What I need<br /> (is a fairy godmother) a pumpkin...and eight mice, and a bit of bubbly to make sure<br /> I have a great time tonight..... oh, and a pretty dress, of course, so I can dance<br /> with the prince. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/987#post-21133 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 01:08:38 +0000 selfseeker 21133@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Another fake ! :lol:</p> <p>Hi star, how are you, dear ?

When you are talking on the phone to people you must deliberately be careful not to provoke... Once a week I work in an environment of a church, while not being a particularly religious, but spiritual person. There are words I say which are acceptable without giving up my spirituality... or provoking religious feedback. I do say God Be With You... But that is a long verse for Goodbye...original meaning of Goodbye... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951/page/2#post-20909 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 23:39:20 +0000 abstractprophet 20909@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>starion...</p> <p>"We can think, by our choice, the lowest, grossest, ugliest thoughts, or let them go and fixate on happier<br /> thoughts.

A trip to the grocery store, a walk down a country lane, a visit to a friend. A job, insane laughter...we choose what we see, what we think of what we see, what we hear, how we perceive what we think is outside of us and what we think of what we think... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20900 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:18:14 +0000 starion 20900@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>The event was known ahead of time; I had a dream in which the event was forecast only I didn't know what the dream meant, not until later. God did not promote the experience; it was not punishment, it was a happening, an event... My job as a person was to make the best of a difficult situation and learn from it... which I did... I hope. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20899 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:11:40 +0000 starion 20899@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>In the beginning it's difficult to find something positive to say about another, but after awhile it becomes second nature... but people learn faster and grow more aware with a positive attitude even during the most devastating moment.<br /> After my house burned down, I remember looking at the charcoal and saying "I won't have to do housework anymore!" and saying "Fastest house cleaning I ever saw." at the same time tears were streaming down my face. It was funny/tragic all at the same time. there was a part of me watching the whole thing...simply watching...and oddly enough everyone around me was keying off me...if that makes sense...and ego wasn't there until later.... when I realized how much had been lost that would not be retrieved... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20898 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:04:19 +0000 starion 20898@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Good question... we are multi-dimensional and multi-leveled... We can think, by our choice, the lowest, grossest, ugliest thoughts, or let them go and fixate on happier<br /> thoughts. Find better ways of thinking about something. For instance, I know a person who gossips a lot. I once repeated something she had said and felt the feelings inside me as I said it...it didn't feel good so I let that go and apologized for having done so. That is a conscious choice...and so if she begins that behavior I tell her, "Oh please don't do that! I work with that person and don't want to risk saying something stupid. I want to be as honest as I can for the job I do, so please say nice things..to me...and I know you are angry about something...but don't add that to me...and I do enjoy your company..." and so over the course of time, she has learned to think more positively as have I... It's so easy to do tongue lashing, word bashing, etc...to speak without thinking... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20886 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 05:57:22 +0000 Beckett 20886@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>And that no-longer-abstractprophet is how the skeptic finds his peace. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20884 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 05:48:08 +0000 abstractprophet 20884@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>"I question anything I can.

Arrving HOME, there is love, there is support, there is togetherness and wonderment... Ironically, to kill someone for murdering others is to immerse that KILLER in love he didn't express here.<br /> And since there is reincarnation, who did the KILLER murder anyhow???? The play goes on and the characters reenter the stage and play their lines.... But the killer having introduced the idea of killing will have those thoughts playing around in his/her mind for some time.... even upon reentry to the stage.... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20857 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:02:01 +0000 Beckett 20857@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>"what problems exists that a solution is not provided..."</p> <p>None, in my opinion.</p> <p>"if inclined you could conclude that in a sense there is no problem and solution"</p> <p>Indeed that follows. If no problem exists without a solution, and you cannot have one without the other, then what's the point of distinguishing the two? That seems like unneccessary complication. It would be like trying to cut a singularity in half.</p> <p>"there is no cause and effect..."</p> <p>I too have come to a similar conclusion. In order for a cause to become an effect it would have to contradict its current being. In order for ice to melt into water it would have to contradict the fact that it's ice. In order for summer to become winter it would have to contradict its current form as summer. But logically "A" should have NO potential to become "B." In order for "A" to become "B" it would have to be both "A" and "not A" which is impossible. The solution I arrived at was that there is no "A." It's just plain "not." The Universe doesn't change like a flip book, leapfrogging from a recognizeable cause to a recognizeable effect, it flows constantly like a river. Nothing is what it is before becoming what it isn't. Cause and effect are seamless and for that reason what's the point of trying to separate the two? Again it seems like unneccessary complication and again it's like trying to split a singularity. But just as time cannot contradict itself neither can space, so how can variation and multiplicity exist? Variation to being contradicts being, therefore the only viable conclusion is that being is also an illusion where space and matter is conscerned. HOWEVER if the whole Universe is one and indivisible, what's the point of distinguishing or disecting anything? Following that question what's the point of THOUGHT altogether? For what is thought but disection and distinguishment?</p> <p>"so you are only selectively skeptical... :p"</p> <p>I question anything I can. I believe questions are the only guide we have.</p> <p>"mind is a blob... no one owns it either..."</p> <p>Is the mind the owner of the person or is the person the owner of the mind? What's the difference between the mind and the person? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20856 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:57:02 +0000 starion 20856@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>There is a lot of stuff about that shadow world of things....and granted, clearer and happy thinking does eliminate problems caused by lousy thinking or what a friend of mine called "Stinking Thinking", but I think it is up to each of us to pull ourselves<br /> up to thinking happier, warmer, kinder thoughts....that improve ourselves and our little corner of the world. Optimistic??? You bet... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20855 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:53:39 +0000 starion 20855@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>But this leaves me wondering...what about the minds of people like Stephen King and those who write books in which substance is not trustable??? what we know and believe in, or depend on, becomes, alters, or changes into something malicious and evil???<br /> Remember being a kid and thinking of the grossest thing you can??? Trying to gross each other out???? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20854 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:50:15 +0000 starion 20854@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>OK, now to explain what I said... Living on planet earth can be hazardous to your health...or not...depending upon what you think, what you know, who you trust, etc.<br /> But&gt;&gt;&gt; if we are God pretending to be individuals experiencing this earth, then<br /> the fault cannot be the God who created us....so it boils down to x factor and what<br /> we think, dream, and consider. Yes a picture of a dead person is just an image.. but<br /> if you decide to do something about that image...ie duplicate it elsewhere, nightmare<br /> about it, etc...you may be introducing the idea into the mix that wasn't active before.<br /> My mother asked me to write a murder mystery and I spent some time writing it. There was the murderer everyone was looking for and 3 victims which I dispatched and a variety of characters wandering through wondering what happened and trying to solve<br /> the whole thing... After about a year of writing, rewriting, I found some of my book invading my dreams... the characters were wandering around in my dreams suggesting betters lines for them to say in the book and I realized that my indulgence in the subject had invited them to visit inside my mind. I dropped the book...let my mind restore itself... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/951#post-20842 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 05:31:07 +0000 abstractprophet 20842@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>missed the blob post... funny stuff... :lol:</p> <p>mind is a blob... no one owns it either... :D </p>
