Merry Christmas!

I wish one and all the very merriest of holidays, and hope that Santa brings you all you desire.

Thank you for reading me this past year. More to come in 2013.

Creative Writing - Day 23, New Self-Improvement - Day 11

Essentially, the Creative Writing program is done. However, I'm going to stick with it until the end of the year, then start 2013 out fresh. I know Santa is bringing me an Android pad, for which I am very grateful, and much looking forward to. Then, I'll be able to listen to the subliminals on repeat, which I haven't been able to do with the little MP3 player I've been using.

So, armed with new tech and an Amazon gift card, I shall be able to make all sorts of playlists for self-improvement to be listened to while reading my Kindle books. One of the new subliminals I'm planning on getting is Subliminal Speed Reading Program - Binaural Beat Brainwave Subliminal Systems , which will be added to the Subliminal Speed Learning Program - Binaural Beat Brainwave Subliminal Systems, and both will help me to learn new material for the writing of my books.

Follow along and grow with me!

Creative Writing - Day 18, New Self-Improvement - Day 6

The Creative Writing subliminals must be working, as I feel the need to write. About what, though, I have no clue.

I stare at this blank page and wonder what the muses would have me write. But, the muses are silent tonight. I hear only the baby's video in the background and the noise from the traffic outside of the apartment. It's a busy night on our street, for some reason.

The New Year may bring a move for us. I have a line on a 3 bedroom house that is affordable to us. I just have to wait until the gentleman who owns it gets back to me about it. It has a fenced-in yard, finished attic and basement, two small bedrooms and a large master bedroom. Only one bathroom, if I remember correctly. It's on a dead-end street, so there won't be as much traffic as there is through here. Oh, and a detached one car garage, which we would undoubtedly use for storage of some of our stuff. How we would pull off this move is another matter entirely. But, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I'm keeping good thoughts towards our acquisition of this house. I, for one, am tired of apartment living. Upstairs neighbors can be very noisy!

Creative Writing - Day 12, Self-Improvement - Day 3

The thought has struck as to what the blook should be about. I'm going to blook about starting and running an herb growing, crafting, and selling business. Yes, I know, there are all kinds of books just like this one on Amazon's shelves alone.

But, there's more to what I offer than just a bunch of dried out plants! Herbal salves, cremes, and other beauty product for women, as well as salves, tonics, and concoctions for men, mostly in the area of marital aids. And it doesn't stop there!

Culinary packets, good health herbs, absinthe-making packs and bundles. Along with classes on cultivation and harvesting. I think that's a pretty good idea so far, don't you? I'm sure I'll add to it and try not to take too much away from it.

But we shall certainly see!

Creative Writing - Day 9, Self-Improvement - Day 1

I've come to the conclusion that I cannot shotgun these subliminals into my brain and expect them to stick. So, what was an 8 to 16 day project is now a 21 day project. Overlapping this project is a short Self-Improvement project consisting of 3 subliminals - Stop Self-Sabotage , Attract Money in Abundance , Raise Your Vibrational Frequency - that I will listen to throughout the day and/or whenever possible. The S-I project will use the computer and headphones only. It will not be moved to the MP3 player until ALL others have been run through.

As the S-I project is so short, I will not give it a defined time period to fulfill. I will try to keep track of the S-I project and will cease it when 21 days/usages has passed.

I hope you are all following along!

Creative Writing - Day 8

Not all experiments go as planned. Case in point, I'd intended to be done as of today with the first set of subliminals - Inspiration, Motivation, Creating. Turns out I could only manage to listen to then twice a night and sometimes not even that. So, I've managed to listen 12 times solid out of my goal of listening 21 solid times. So, another full week is in the offing for this project. I've also upgraded the program to 10 "chapters", as it were. In addition to the "Creative Writing Short List", I have "A New Me", "Increase Sex Drive", "A New Me 2", "Enhanced Writing", "Alpha Male", "IQ Boost", "Manifestation", "Psychic", and "Akashic". The order as presented here does not necessarily denote the order in which they will be listened. But, I'll keep you posted here, of course. At present, "A New Me" is next, to be followed by "Increase Sex Drive" and "Manifestation". I also will be supplementing these subliminals with learning outside the program or herbal supplements as can be created. I have a book called Hot Plants: Nature's Proven Sex Boosters for Men and Women that I'll be using for the "Increase Sex Drive" chapter, as well as other herbal concoctions for the "New Me" chapters.

More to come!

Creative Writing + Focus & Memory - Day 4

I've added Subliminal Powerful Increase of Focus and Memory to my listening list, as I've got some learning to do if I'm going to achieve my goals for the coming year. This MP3 will help immensely.

In addition to this list, I have five more mapped out, which will take me up to the end of March, 2013 to complete. The big list is number four - A New Me - which is eight solid hours of listening and should take up half of the month of February, 2013 to get through. Anyone want to follow along?

Inspiration, Motivation, Creation - Creative Writing - Day 2

Or, Inspiration, Creation, Motivation. Or however makes the most sense to you. Point is, I've picked up three subliminal recordings from Amazon - Become Truly Inspired With An Ocean Track , Developing Extreme Motivation , and Subliminal Creative Writing Skills - that I'm going to listen to in my sleep for the next seven nights. At the end of that time period, I'll post here again to let you know how I feel, whether anything has changed or not.

I think things will change, as I've already listened to these three recordings yesterday and today, and I have an almost nervous energy begging to be used somehow. If I didn't hurt so much from my injury, I'd probably be up doing dishes or cleaning the house. Instead, I've been inspired and motivated to create a post here today. Just imagine how I'm going to be after seven nights of listening to these recordings!

Immersion

A thought struck me a little bit ago (no, it didn't hurt) about the noise and pictures we are immersed in on a daily basis. This thought came because of something I read in The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Beating Writer's Block , where it said the block is not caused by an *absence* of thought but rather an *over-abundance* of it.

What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Consider this. Could it be that A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. are caused not by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, but by the overwhelming technological B.S. that we find ourselves immersed in on a daily basis?

Even just here at home, I am immersed in the noise of the heater under my desk, the noise made by a game my house-mate is playing on her computer, the noises her one-year-old daughter makes as she plays in her playpen, the heat under my desk competing with the cooler air of the apartment around me... you get the idea.

Now consider this. Finding a nice quiet place to be, just be, for at least half-an-hour a day (or every-other day, if that is your choice). For the first few days, your mind will overwhelm you, now that there is nothing else to take your attention away from it. After a few days of that, your brain starts to quiet down, questing for something, *anything*, to think about. This is when you say to your brain/mind, "Today we are going to work on this!" Then!, work on it! The next day, finish up what you started the day before, or start on something new. The point is, you are no longer immersed in the noise and lights of out world. You are, instead, immersed in your own thoughts, in your own place and at your own time. Just give it a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Blook

What is a Blook, you ask? Quite simply, it's a blog that has been turned into a book. I'm seriously considering taking that route and creating a new blog to that end. The book I'm reading now - How to Blog a Book: Write, Publish, and Promote Your Work One Post at a Time - is designed to help one create a non-fiction book, but it can be used for fiction works as well.

Once I have a better idea of what I want to write, I'll announce the creation of the new blog here. When I publish it as a blook, I'll announce that here as well. See you soon!

Out of Focus

Well, the metaphysical research didn't last long. I'm still interested in it, and may find a way to use it in my current vocation. Lord knows, I need to do something!

Once again I've taken up the pen and tried to put my thoughts in order enough to write them down. I've even found a decent book on breaking through writer's block. I think my "pen" this time around will be electronic, so as to be able to format it later should I decide to self-publish to Kindle.

So, mentally, I'm a jumble of thoughts. Physically, I feel like I'm falling apart. I apparently have ruptured a disc and it is causing me a bit more pain that I'm used to in my back and left leg. The doctor feels that it should heal itself within the next two weeks.

Let's see, what else to talk about? How about the speed at which this year has passed? Has anyone else noticed this? It seems like just last week it was January. Now, it's November, very soon to be December. At least we haven't had any of the dreaded "s" word yet.

My pain meds are making me sleepy, so I think I'll wrap this up. I'll try to add more within the coming week.

Metaphysical Work

Well, I'm working on three areas of the metaphysical now. Psychic Intuition, Astral Travel, and Spirit Guides. Come the first of the month, I'll be working with a new subliminal CD to work on all my overall psychic abilities.
So!, I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far. There are, of course, specific abilities I'd like to work on and shall once I figure out how.

I'll try to keep you up to date as things progress. I'm sure something will happen!

Focus

I realized, recently, that my life has little focus. Oh, I'll get started on something and work at it for a little bit, but there's no real focus, no true direction that I'm moving in.

Then, I realized something else. The "little" focus that my life does have is the paranormal, the psychic. I keep coming back to it, exploring it, working to ignite my abilities.

I'm nearly half a century old now. Middle-age. I think it is time I gave more focus to my life's work.

Just to talk

With no one around to listen, I guess I'll just type out my thoughts here for no one to read.

I've got three really cool ideas to increase the production of energy from the sun, yet no means to show off even a small prototype.

I've got two really cool ideas for new means of transportation that use renewable fuels or free (read wind) fuel to run on.

I've got a couple more fringe-like ideas that need work before they can be presented to the public.

And I found my "Madonna holding the Child" lint figure again! Things are definitely looking up!

Now, if I could just find time to write, with my pen, on paper. Two story ideas wait to be written. One is Tin Horse and the other is Wonderland. And if we'd win/find/receive about $5000 extra money, things would get much MUCH better. Perhaps the Madonna will help.

Not So Far This Time

Only a little over a month, this time. Not bad.

I've decided, for the moment, not to be in ~any~ business. At least not one that needs to be named. I'll just be creative for myself and submit those ideas that I think can be licensed, to the proper people. I've started collecting information in a number of areas. I'm mostly sticking with the alternatives - energy, transportation, farming, and so on. I may also dabble in steampunk, self-sustainability, and robotics. I'd love to build an earth oven and bake some bread in it! We shall see. So much I could do! So much I'm ~going~ to do!

More to come!

Nearly Five Months Full Agone

Well, so much for -that- thought!

I learned a few new things in my exploration of energy healings. First and foremost, the chakras are a lot more than just energy centers. I won't bore you with the things I've learned.

In other news, I've begun to be creative again! I pulled my creativity notebook out for the first time in nearly five months to write down "THE BIG PICTURE". From there, I'll explore each of a set of parts or processes that make up "THE BIG PICTURE". Also, I'm considering re-naming Benjamin Eclectic Explorations to Sebastian Andrew Benjamin Enterprises. Anyone have any input on this?

Some future projects will include alternative energy production, alternative transportation, alternative farming methods, and alternative buildings. More on these to come.
