Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

On Health, Wellbeing and Forgiveness


"Forgiveness is the first requirement which permits man to be in harmony with the Law of his being."          Raymond Holliwell - Working with the Law

No real healing has taken place until forgiveness is realized.
If we wish to experience complete happiness, fulfillment, peace, joy, and health in our lives it is imperative we learn how to first forgive others, and then to forgive our Self. A guilt-ridden resentful mind is the breeding ground for all disease. By our thoughts we are the sole creators and possessors of our joys and our ills. Not God, not our neighbor, nor any other outside influence can be held accountable.

In her book Your Word is Your Wand, Florence Scovel Schinn states; "Fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, resentment, pull down the cells of the body, shock the nervous system, and are the causes of disease and disaster.
Happiness and health must be earned by absolute control of the emotional nature."

When we harbour feelings of guilt, anger, jealousy, remorse or any of the myriad of negative emotions toward others or our Self, we essentially reduce or cut off the supply of all that is good, coming to us.  We become disconnected, in disharmony with our creative source, which brings us love, peace, joy, prosperity, health and all that is good.  Forgiveness is for our well being and that of the other person.  By releasing you, I also free myself. We only hurt our Self, by refusing to forgive.  In essence we are punishing our Self. Why would we want to do that?

These negative emotions set up an environment conducive to sickness and disease of all kinds.  This is not theory but scientifically proven fact.  These emotions create an acidic environment in the body making it a breeding ground for all manner of sickness from mental illness, to seasonal colds, to cancer.
In his book Working with the Law, Raymond Holliwell refers to an experiment conducted by Professor Elmer Gates of the Psychological Laboratory of Washington, D.C. In his experiment, Professor Gates analyzed the perspiration of his subjects representing a wide range of emotional states. All negative emotions indicated a strong acid environment with guilt displaying the strongest result.

Florence Scovel Schinn also gives us; "All disease begins in the mind. Resentment has ruined more homes than drink and killed more people than war. Our release leading to lasting freedom and happiness is found in forgiveness."
                                                       from - Your word is Your Wand


Keep in mind forgiveness does not mean we forget the valuable lessons to be learned when we are wronged, or we wrong someone else, and correct it.  What it does mean is we are able to recount the incident free of blame, without attaching negative emotion to it.  Until you have done this you have not truly forgiven the person or yourself.

To forgive we must reconnect with the Infinite Intelligence that is in all of us and see each person as their true self, which is love, peace and harmony.  We must understand it is through ignorance and small mindedness we are done ill by.  All has purpose, being presented for our benefit. Develop compassion for those who are out of touch with their Inner Self and wish for them what we would wish for our Self.  Be grateful for the growth they allow us to realize. Wish love, peace, joy, wisdom, and all the blessings of life to others and yourself but above all love, for love is the only way to wizen the roots of unforgivness.

Jesus said, (for our well being);"But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you."
                                                 Matthew 5:44

Of Health & Attitude

I had an interesting question posed from a member the other day.
Now you must understand, this member, like many of us, suffers annually with the usual seasonal colds, allergies during allergy season, some year round, and of course receives their annual flu shot religiously.

Member – “How is it that you are never sick? You are continuously in contact with cold sufferers yet never become sick. You always have more than enough energy even though you work ridiculous hours, often 16 hours per day. What is your secret?

My answer in short was – “My secret lies in my attitude of mind. What I believe disease to be, and that we, originally, were created in perfect health. Therefore we are entitled to, perfect health.”

Now, was I always this way? Absolutely not. I have access to records that show, I, at one time, was one of the worst allergy sufferers on the planet I am sure. Typically admitting myself to hospital several times each year for albuterol sulfate treatments because I could not get my breath due to asthma. I had been an asthma sufferer since age 5. I never went anywhere without my inhalers. I allowed myself to be embarrassed by my attachment to the inhalers, believing them to represent weakness. I suffered from hay fever, three seasonal colds each year and strep throat on more than one occasion.

Through nutrition and exercise I was able to improve my circumstance by about 80%. However I would still wind up in hospital a couple of times each allergy season with a ventolin mask stuck to my face. I was forced to modify my exercise program because I could not breath well enough.
Today I am 100% allergy free. I cannot remember the last cold I had. This level of health eluded me until one day I thought about what disease truly is vs what I had accepted as truth about disease. Since that day of discovering the truth about disease I have not been sick one day, nor have I once experienced any allergy or used an inhaler.

Everyone is able to attain this, but not at the level of thought we as a society currently adopt about disease.


A personal healing will ever be the most convincing evidence of our subconscious powers. Over forty-two years ago I resolved a malignancy—in medical terminology it was called a sarcoma—by using the healing power of my subconscious mind, which created me and still maintains and governs all my vital functions. The technique I applied is elaborated on in this book, and I feel sure that it will help others to trust the same Infinite Healing Presence lodged in the subconscious depths of all men.
Through the kindly offices of my doctor friend, I suddenly realized that it was natural to assume that the Creative Intelligence which made all my organs, fashioned my body, and started my heart, could heal its own handiwork. The ancient proverb says, “The doctor dresses the wound and God heals it.”

Effect of Thought on DNA


"Every thought brings into action certain physical tissue: Parts of the brain, nerve, or muscle. This produces an actual physical change in the construction of the tissue. Therefore it is only necessary to hold a certain number of thoughts on a given subject in order to bring about complete change in the physical organization of man."
                       Charles F. Haanel

Assuming this statement by Haanel is accurate, (there is plenty of scientific evidence to show that it is), how important is it that we are aware of our thoughts surrounding health?
Could it be, that our physical condition is  a direct result of our thoughts, causing an emotional state, leading to a definite chemical environment responsible for our overall wellbeing? 
 
For an interesting read here are several quantum experiments that suggest this is so.

Good reading – Master Key Arcana – Charles F. Haanel
