                         an EVENT of National

                                Significance

                            "little 332" at Genesys Hospital ~ Grand Blanc, Michigan

                                                                                                                             Monolith

                               of Health Care

                               "ASCENSION"

Greetings and Hello!...sent Letter~ to Mark Taylor CEO/ Betsy Aderholdt President & shared with "ALL" Interested *January 23^rd 2010

In the recent December 2009 'Callings' published for and by Genesys Hospital / Ascension Health Care Industry , CEO Mark Taylor declares a New Mission statement: as a Ministry of Jesus Genesys Hospital in essence achieves church-like status in print.

This letter is a Call to All other existing Churches/congregations to give direction , guidance , and truthful meaning to this great undertaking. When Jesus Christ shared time in his ministry with the Apostles , were they co-workers or just expendable employees?

In past Radiology management directed meetings we were Invited to Awareness , Spirituality , and encouraged to see where God is in all of this? I'm sure some people are Wondering how this works.

President Betsy Aderholdt in the INK issue November 12^th 2008 states: I'm very thankful and proud to be part of such a compassionate organization that's committed to doing its best to make sure our poor and vulnerable are cared for. (...yet in the Industrial strength business background of Ascension , Genesys is creating poor and vulnerable employees.)

In the very astute book 'Mistakes were Made (but not by me) why we justify foolish beliefs , Bad decisions , and Hurtful Acts by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson self justification, dissonance , and blind spots are discussed. One interesting aspect is that: ...pain felt is always more intense than pain inflicted... Which is what Genesys / Ascension systematically does to its employees. I really don't believe that Jesus Christ included this in his repertoire but inclusive of God and the Universe he was driven by LoveY and not by organizational monetary incentives. ( ...maybe he was just a bad manager in that sense and would have had to be let go.)

Instead of a Genesy's Mission Story could this really be interpreted as Our Mission Spin? I don't mean to be cynical but maybe this is just marketing of Christ because it sounds good.

But anyway , in the January 28^th 2009 'Callings', Mark Taylor has stated a Priority of creating relationships with organized Labor to foster organizational excellence , ~ *this implies fair, in good Faith , optimal employee considerations*. ( However , the billboard off the expressway exit at Genesys remains and states history of facts otherwise:

Labor Relations Board charges Genesys with Destroying working lives of Good Union Employees.

As a measure of checks and balance to unwieldy power and corporate dominance, with their intention of creating an Employer's Paradise on Earth , your valued response , positive input , and suggestions toward viable solutions is very welcome and appreciated. I'm sure Mark and Betsy want to hear from anyone and everyone , after all it is part of their ministry in practice. Hell , I work at what I do , why not them?

Thank You ~with a Smile ~ Greg 3^rd shift ER Imaging Genesys Hospital

PS 2x ~ here's another one I like : Let he who has an ear Listen to what the Spirit has to say to the Churches.

3x PS ~ I Hope every Church in the telephone Book gets with Genesys / Ascension for a Good Jesus lesson or parable to share. ...and of course any Individual , or group , family member , or friend from all walks of Life.

Ascension HealthCare has 100,000 employees throughout the U.S.

( 94,000 non-union ) Genesys Hospital , Grand Blanc , Michigan is one of the very few with Union employees .

~below~ Purely Editorial Opinion & ?conjecture?~ Greg's Universe Publishing ~ Th. Trkstar~

Ascension is a blend of Corporate Industrial strength background management with Religion used for front end promotion. This is some of the HealthCare manipulation that goes on ,locking it up. Anymore , small community hospitals are being absorbed and pushed out by the BIG BLENDof Control. Of course , if they really became part of the " Jesus Christ Ministry of Healing " that would be Great!...but if not , just be Honest.

Genesys Hospital / Ascension , Grand Blanc , Michigan publishes and distributes 'Callings'.

The patient care model is called Visionscape. ( However , the words Valued Employee are never mentioned. ) This model could be broadened to encompass a viable Vision toward HealthCare workers through out Ascension , making long term foresighted Security a primary goal as well.

In this America of fearful , despondent , trepidations Ascension Health can boldly enact a Special Dual Purpose, and Healing alleviation to aspects of daily endeavor. Going beyond Fiscal policy and monetary bottom lines will Create New Potentials of Holism benefiting every person involved regardless of position. Health aspects within the hospital environment will balance and harmonize.

This would be good Visionscape 3D enhancement...INNOVATION.

Some concerns and cautions within Ascension or any other large Organization bring to mind God in the Office by Lake Lambert III ~USA Today ~ Monday , February 8^th , 2010 ~ ...Spirituality in the workplace may become a means to manipulate or control workers ...Spirituality can be an abusive tool to keep employees in line and discourage dissent. More important, Spirituality cannot maintain its own dignity and autonomy if it is subordinated to the Economic Laws of Supply and Demand.

A BUSINESS needs to stay in the black but how much black?(...or loaves and fishes... )

How do we avert increasing consolidated Authoritarian control ( *either knowingly or unknowingly used*) that is mentioned by Barry C. Lynn in 'Cornered'?

To do this there has to be Flexibility to the $$bottom line$$ of always making more and looking for more ways to take it. Compassion and Care has to be considered to those affected , for true long range social Human benefit. Creative responses allow Healthy differences that allow Humane growth in a Corporate Entity.

( We can still have responsive, responsible Individuals and freedoms with latitude.)

Even God didn't try to make everyone the same, Obviously!  What Fun would that be?

Dr. Patricia Gabow CEO/ Denver Health emphasizes Five Rights in Kaiser Health News. Five Rights--the right physical environment , built for quality and safety to support employees , patients and families , the right person in the right job , the right communication processes , and the right rewards.

Ascension Health implementing Right rewards to take care of HealthCare employees , combined ongoing security with peace of mind , enhanced economic freedom... would be a Valued Goal going hand in hand with Great patient care. Truly a tangible Blessing for sure!...just like this paper and print.

Best and a Smile~ Greg / **Greg's Universe Publishing / Th. Trkstar**

Religion and Philosophy

Dear Friends ~ Please share this where~ever you may!

The two letters will have given you an Idea of Ascension HealthCare attitudes and ideology...and Important HealthCare worker concerns , taking place at this time.

*Yet , Ascension Health Care is also under way proceeding with a Hospital in Saudi Arabia ...a 250 bed addiction treatment facility in Riyadh , to serve the entire Islamic Mideast.*

*Yet more Immediate , Our Native American friends in South Dakota , U.S. at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation , with Life expectancy lower than that of Haiti , could use some well deserved attention from Ascension Health ~ "Ministries".

Ascension needs to get a better Map... and pointed in the Right direction.

*Ascension Health*: Plans to OUTSOURCE Hospital to SAUDI ARABIA

(...and is Touting the Prestige involved ~ Hey, wait a minute not s00000000H fast! )

As a Free Lance journalist observer I believe the Exportation/Outsource of an
Ascension Hospital to Saudi Arabia could be a Potential source of
Pulitzer material and ...*CONCERNS*.

Ascension talks about :
" We are called to : Service of the Poor , Reverence, Integrity ,
Wisdom , Creativity , and Dedication " but we are seeing a MERCENARY
Negotiation team sanctioned by $$$$$CEO $$$$$$$$$Mark Taylor for the
purpose of destroying the 332 Teamsters Union at Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc/Michigan.

You have to WONDER what is on their WORLD view agenda of Future Conquest....and I am kind of a Curious guy.

The Saudi Arabia Hospital is projected to cost 60 million or more ,
and it won't be for the poor... what justifies putting the axe to
employees in the U.S. to do it? Also what about those AMERICANS IN
NEEEEEEEEED ... INNER City , Native American ...and the List goes on.
Mark Taylor and Ascension Head Quarters 'Honchos de lux' in Saint Louis are so far out of Touch they belong on another Planet among themselves , but the truth is that they don't really care and don't truly ascribe and adhere to everyday Values of the Mission Statement they PR and Gloss up to the public.

Money is the main Mission , and a lot of it for themselves.

This brings to mind flexian performance: the Tendency to HIDE behind one's most appealing role. In the World of Media and punditry , flexians want to appear objective and devoid of self interest.

Please reference ' Shadow Elite ' ~ How the World's Power Brokers UNDERMINE DEMOCRACY , GOVERNMENT , AND the FREE MARKET by Janine R. Wedel ***** 5 star

Ascension Health's worker wages, benefits, insurance , anything else they can think of as well as those of Retirees are under constant Industrial Corporate attack. ( Ascension wants to cut out Health Care Insurance for Retirees completely. ) Once again who's the one to suffer? ~ the poor little worker bee as the elite echelon takes most of the not for Profit?...would we call it HONEY?

But anyway , you get the Idea and your phone calls , letters of input and outrage can make the difference! ( the power of 1+1+1+1+1+1.......................................................

The SHAM Of Human Rights in Saudi Arabia The SHAM Of Human Rights in Saudi Arabia

by Mohammed H. Skiddiq  excerpt : May/June 2010 Nebraskans for Peace ~NEWSLETTER

..in Saudi Arabia , one can almost taste the repressive silence which the people (in fear for their personal well-being and that of their family) impose on themselves...Saudi Arabia lacks , thanks to the autocratic policies of the royal family and its minions, those institutions which give to a society in the modern World its stability : political parties , Labor Unions , and the numerous types of Independent Associations through which citizens exercise FREEDOM and RESPONSIBILITIES...

In an Expanded View to Human Rights in Saudi Arabia how can ASCENSION HEALTH Justify a position to build a Hospital beyond a monetary goal and Image of International Prestige? ....as it continues in its Determination to limit and weaken benefits of those it employs in the U.S.

Genesys Hospital , Grand Blanc , Michigan is an example of current "lowering the bar" of standards under way.

Again, in the Expanded View where is ASCENSION'S Heart of Human Rights , Conscience and Soul in Saudi Arabia?

ASCENSION HEALTH should actually create positive Impact by not building in Saudi Arabia and stating the very Human reasons why... this would be a true Mission statement and Advocacy to be proud of...otherwise they will become part of the "silenced majority" too or ... very "rich minority" that looks the other way.

UNION TEAMSTERS 332 PLEADS WITH GENESYS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER MANAGEMENT IN GRAND BLANC, MICHIGAN TO RESOLVE "NON-EXISTANT," "NO COLLABORATION" NOTED RELATIONS BETWEEN UNION/MANAGEMENT -- WEB PUBLISHER and HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE, GREGORY GARBULINSKI, BRINGS AWARENESS THROUGH WEBSITE

            For Immediate Release
            Date:  March 3, 2010
            Location:  Grand Blanc, Michigan
            Contact:  Gregory Garbulinski
            Phone:  (810) 667-3602

Grand Blanc, Michigan - March 3, 2010  According to Gregory Garbulinski, there are serious issues between Genesys Regional Medical Center in Grand Blanc, Michigan and its healthcare workers that remain yet unresolved.  Garbulinski brings attention to these issues through his new Web site:  332versusascension.com

The site, sponsored by Greg's Universe Publishing / Th.Trkstar,  presents the issues from a worker's point of view.  Garbulinski is a third shift ER Imaging employee at Genesys.  He has witnessed first-hand a struggle between the hospital management and Teamsters 332 as they try to resolve issues and create a better workplace for the employees.  Garbulinski wishes to create awareness through the Web site.  He hopes the site will help bring a resolution of conflict between Teamsters 332 and Genesys, which is a subsidiary of Ascension Health, based in St. Louis, Missouri.

"Ascension Health /CEO /Management has received material and recent letters from this website as well as the Union Teamsters 332 over the past two years to the current date concerning Genesys chain of events from July 2006 to February 11th 2010.  A copy is available upon request from Nina Bugbee, President of Teamsters 332, nina@teamsters332.com , toll free 1-877-443-9990," states Garbulinski.

Ascension Health's CEO Mark Taylor promised in the January 28th 2009 issue of Callings (the company's newsletter), "A priority of creating relationships with organized labor to foster organizational excellence."  This implies fair, in good faith, optimal employee considerations.

But unfortunately, those traveling southbound along I-75 at Holly Road near the hospital still see in plain view a large billboard stating, "Labor Board Charges Genesys with Destroying Working Lives of Good Union Employees."  The billboard, which was erected in January 2009, shouts for justice but yet the grim circumstances remain unchanged for many employees.

There are current negotiations with an extended Federal Mediated deadline date of March 17, 2010.  The negotiations are between Genesys Regional Medical Center, Ascension Health Headquarters and Teamsters Local Union 332.

Garbulinski and other employees simply ask that the not-for-profit organization honor its own mission statement, declaring it to be a "a Ministry of Jesus." Even the company's own president, Betsy Aderholdt, stated in the November 12th 2008 issue of INK, "I'm very thankful and proud to be part of such a compassionate organization that's committed to doing its best to make sure our poor and vulnerable are cared for."

Teamsters 332 and employees plead with Genesys and Ascension to honor these statements by also caring for their employees in a compassionate manner.

Healthcare workers and others with common interests may visit the Web site below for more information:

                   *Dear Congress members and Ascension Health , this is an Invitation to Awareness.*

We are going to start a series of discussions to help us be more aware of our spirituality in the workplace. We will have short discussions focusing on different aspects of spirituality: What it is? What it means? How it plays out in our lives? These sessions are meant to be thought provoking and to stimulate discussion ( if you feel comfortable doing so. ) We will ask questions and together explore how spirituality fits into our work life.

We are talking about every day , day in day out . Most hours of our ordinary time are spent at work! 9-13 hours per day for most people , and that does not even include folks who work 2-3 jobs!

                    So , where is God in all of this?

          Do you see , feel , hear , and know God at work?

• Do you see God in the ordinary and in the chaos?

• What does your spirituality mean at work when you are:

• Frightened of a new assignment / computer system?

• Challenged with a new idea?

• Happy over a success?

• Tired , ignored or unappreciated?

• How does an awareness of God help you at work?

• What does your work mean to you?

• Where is God at work?

• Is God with you?

• How is spirituality more than just a religious belief?

HELLO! Back to Earth...the previous message was a Radiology staff meeting on October 16^th 2008 at Genesys Hospital / Grand Blanc , Michigan.

This is the prelude to the fishbowl of religious Townhalls and huddles that have been going on to this date as we struggle to get a decent union contract with Ascension Health. I swim in Radiology too and work 3^rd shift Emergency Imaging. It is pretty much impossible over two years of this saturation to relate briefly , so let me just say this: "holy moly."

Does the 1^st article of the Bill of Rights give some parameters on this? ...or is it just a free for all? ( ...is Ascension Health working toward religious Wal-Martism?)

I know in some low paying jobs around the United States managers encourage workers to turn to God and go to church. In this case at Genesys Hospital / Grand Blanc , Michigan the chapel is transported to the workplace for thoughtful convenience.

Now , as a visitor to Genesys Hospital / Grand Blanc , Michigan take an elevator ride with Jesus. The prayer postings behind the plexiglass covers read: We believe the healing power of Jesus is working through each one of us ~ as we lovingly care for each person Body , Mind , and Soul ~ Genesys Staff & Volunteers

So if I ride that elevator with Genesys CEO Mark Taylor will he heal me or me heal him? ...Or are we both just riding the elevator for Fun or whatever? This could become a very important metaphysical study at some point later on. ( ...our group in Radiology can huddle on the megavator where there is plenty of room.)

Of course I always have a solution to everything so as a practical remedy we get all the heartless CEOS , corrupt Congress members , ...etc. together on the elevator with Jesus until they feel the warmth and healing power.

Then we let them out to do jumping jacks with Jesus in their matching glo t-shirts and Connection with Christ baseball caps. (...at this point they are elated , inspired , seeing the light of Understanding and they take reasonable salary for what they do or even just work for free.)

Then it's nap time for all of them on flower designed little rugs , after Twinkies and milk.

How hard could it be?

                 Best and a Smile ~ Greg

       *#1 Expressions and Thought*

Subject : Genesys Callings ~ Quote on cover with date: " a monthly publication for and about the people of Genesys ." mmmmmmm... Sounds benevolent enough but " people of Genesys " is possessive ( denoting ownership/property*) So I'm thinking to myself mmmmm...what?

In comparison 'Ascension' Health Care owns Genesys Hospital , so I Imagine they own this Magazine too and All of 'VisionScape' ...the Evil Plan to take over the World and place people into a submissive controlled Society with no voice in anything, whoa Sorry~ maybe not, I was thinking about something else for a moment. Anyway retract that thought to a reasonable degree and let's say that since Ascension owns Genesys and Genesys has "people of Genesys" * that there is some kind of connection and not necessarily a diabolical plan . It may only involve $$$Money$$$ , the root of all good and when properly used as a tool , the true implement of espoused Christian values of Integrity , Wisdom , Creativity and a better World.

Anyway not to get off on a Tangent, but I am also Greg 3rd shift ER Imaging at Genesys Hospital. Glad to meet you! (...I have worked 35 years on 3rd shift ...I do it but don't recommend it*) I also operate ***Greg's Universe*** Publishing . (* Good thing Ascension isn't over Greg's Universe otherwise I probably wouldn't have a job*) ...You know as I tell my lovely wife Diane and she says "yea yea sure sure" ( she also worked at Genesys and St. Joe's *Flint for 30 years , UNTIL but I'll say this kindly: she was "let go due to budget" cuts * ...on a Happy note she left proudly with an Excellent work record  & accomplishments*~ she's a Good person and I'm lucky to be kinda getting to know her - we have a 25th Anniversary on July 16th ) ...as I tell Diane:  " A lot of people think ***Greg's Universe***is a Glamorous job but It's just plain hard work...but I don't 'MIND' working hard- it's fun to me." My sister Kathy says I'm a nut but a good nut...an Ultimate compliment in my line of work! The stuff that encourages me and keeps me going for sure.

Yes! , that's what I really say.

But in short , getting back at it ...If you receive the Callings Magazine and you feel "people of Genesys" is obtrusive /invasive or whatever , you can just make a call telling them you don't want it. (...much like opting out of unsolicited annoying email~so there you go.) How did I ever get here? Who knows? Stop in now and then for a Visit ...More expression and thought is likely to follow.

The Ammendments to the Constitution : 1st Ammendment : Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion , or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ; or abridging the freedom of speech ; or of the press ; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble , and to petition the government for a redress of grievances .   (...as a small aside to this I'm thinking the Federal Government owes me Alot of money in 'REDRESS to continual INEPTITUDES.'...what a bunch of goooofs )

***Best and a Smile! ~ Greg***  Thursday 6-05-08 ...& Peace* Love , a Joke or two , maybe chocolate ...or a beer for me please...or glass of wine*... or a good strong cup of coffee 3rd shift style ~ no decaf. for me , it's high Octane all the Way , otherwise what would be the point! ...Adrenaline and cheap thrill junkie.

***Ps*** if anyone from Ascension (* Mark or Betsy*) happens to be Visiting ,  think of working toward the common Human notes ofcompassion all round without the standard high gloss "PR" propaganda and settle this accordingly. You have the Opportunity to place notes on a finer plane with enriched levels and chords of vibration which open the Future to better possibilities for all employees , as well as providing excellent health care. * It can be done in an exemplary manner of standards which others can set aspirations to. True Leadership! It doesn't have to be the sad depressing  example of what is happening across the United States ...as the bar is lowered to mediocrity and trudge. Below average is unacceptable and pathetic and 'UNAMERICAN.' ...Akin to economic slavery, killing inherent Hope that resides in every Individual with unlimited growth potential for each person. .......Brighten it up!************You may find yourselves discovering the Possibilities of A New previouslyUnknown Future Path that exists. It takes Hard work and is not the Corporate/Government easy way which currently just goes to the target of "WE the People." *This is enbodiment of True Service and MISSION.*

...I look at Living on this PLANET as being on assignment .

OH well , MIGHT as well make the BEST of it.

Cheap credit propped us up but now , the debt is due Without rules for the globalized economy or a meaningful national strategy for preserving and increasing their incomes , AMERICA'S workers were fully exposed to competition from low-wage economies.when the Federal government ceased in a meaningful way to protect workers right to organize and collectively bargain, fueling a dramatic decline in Union strength.Global corporations all have strategies for success in the global economy , but the United States has consciously refused to have a strategy for how to remain a middle-class society in a global economy. By Damon Silvers AFL-CIO www.aflcio.org                                   How We got into this Mess CONTINUED : By Damon Silvers from THE AMERICAN PROSPECT May 2008 ~ Fixing the Economy    www.aflcio.org   Labor-market rules have to begin with meaningful, enforceable recognition of the right of workers to Organize, starting in the United States.The first place we need to start is public investment , which has historically meant infrastructure. energy technology.energy conservation technologies The second big step is to change our labor-market policies to encourage high wage economy. That means National Healthcare and a National Pension policy to restore adequate retirement savings. It means rebuilding the connection between productivity and wages , making  a WORKER'S Right to organize and bargain again, by passing the EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT.These measures have to be paired with IMPROVEMENTS in our PUBLIC SCHOOLS at every level so that worker productivity continues to increase.based in part on the United States role as the provider of the Technologies at the  HEART of a Global Revolution in how we use Energy, in part on the vast work that must be done to retool our own infrastructure   So the next  President  will come into office facing a multitude of challenges a housing and credit market driven Recession , rising Energy prices , Global warming , a current account Deficit that is Spiraling out of control , the War in Iraq , a collapsing Dollar $ , a rising China and India , long term Crisis in Health Care and Retirement provision.The Challenge is to Understand that there is a Choice, a different Direction We can and must go in ...

( Visit: www.ThTrkstar.com for my "CEO Obama"  packages to the WHITE HOUSE updates... )   To paraphrase venerable Lincoln there are too many Big Pigs at the trough. What the heck , morph them to greedy B#s*?%ds who use modern media to over saturate us with a more refined OINK of communication. But anyway, Fruit Loops ~ I just wanted to say that to Brighten it up from my depressing downward Spiral ( a visual of that Big Pig Pen and those "PORKERS") They need to choose the menu-lite that is available. When they scam on the content of the Founding Fathers and U.S. Constitution in reference to "We the People" I do an auto-translate to what it really means: you the people who say and do whatever we tell you to. They make up the endless hoops maze of Absurdity to jump through. Read my lips (if you could see me) as I say the Federal Government is taking us to the cleaners but none of the laundry equipment works , so it Is just Dirty laundry. As everyone knows Shakespeare said to be or not to be (also one Touch of Nature makes the whole World kin). A number of our so called leadership display example by de-fault exemplifying what not to be. Do you ever get the feeling that your life is being assaulted by marauding pirates sent by hidden Mr. Big in the background? The Truth about George Orwell's 1984 or there about is that it Is happening with hardly a notice ...But we do have the Super Bowl Colosseum. Pretty smooth huh? Lots of money at the top where they know how to keep it, has gone a long long way since man's History of Domination over other men. Man , this is starting to sound bleak again so let me pull a poem out of my pocket. Our in common History will always have humor , laughter , and a smile. Connections of touch and being touched.   A shared laugh About half and half A joke , a smile Or something funny Gentle and soft As a bunny   Back at it again , I'm thinking you've got to be Leary of a Government that would put in God we trust on the money. Christ would have thrown them out of the Temple too! It falls somewhere in the category of usury and counterfeiting God's name without the Royalties for the #1 guy. God is probably pretty pissed. ( IMAGINE: now God is involved in a con of we the people , poor guy it's not easy being God on some days ~ Good thing there Is an Eternity out there ~ to look at the sunny side) Cold hard Cash sounds so unloving but really it's just a tool. Is there a better currency than this? PROBABLY. Not to go off on a Tangent but I'd rather talk about the real Web of Life which coincidently reminds me of another poem.   Moments of sublime emotion Catch hold of the breath In sadness or sigh In delicate sense of beauty or joy And spring with a tug At Our  Heart's Strings    Good I'm starting to calm down and relax again. I get so tired of taking it , taking it , taking this S..T , that I have got around to thinking it's My Turn as God is my witness , God is my judge . What the hell , as if I were God on Earth it's my turn now. Whenever , Wherever , Whatever it's my turn. (...many Others are very Deserving of Turns for the Better too...and how about the FUTURE turns ...and as the World Turns...) Of Course , I'll do it in a nice way!   As a Cosmic traveler you have shown Interest in the Future. It is a Good thing to know where we Are going. Ah, a Project comes to mind. ( no not a poem yet )    A sense of Purpose. A sense of Dedication. A sense of Direction toward the possibilities.      AI                      KI                       DO Harmony              Energy                   Way   Control is a funny thing. The more you try to control others the more Disappointing it is. ( * Ascension will discover this and Hopefully implement Intelligent corrections *...A current Update would be ADVISABLE for the U.S. Government too! Continued Brute force just looks like what it is ...BRUTALITY in "sheep's clothing" wrapped in Wool of the Lie. Sometimes I do a simple meditation called 'EYES OF THE WORLD' and that is what I see...and I like to Read too.  ) Control's Secret is to control yourself, the Discipline to do this is the Trick. It is not so much a hard physical discipline but physical makes a Healthy complement to Mental Powers. The brain is a muscle and likes to be used. (matter of fact it is telling me right now , use me , use me , use me) Oh , I forgot to mention a sense of Creative Adventure.       From This Season's People by Stephen Gaskin:                           Attention is Energy   What you put your attention on, you get more of. Each one of us is a Fountain of Energy , a valve through which Universal Life Energy is metered into the World , and we can each point our self at whatever we want to. We add Life Force to our surroundings to everything we pay Attention to. If you put your Attention on the Best , Highest , Finest , most Beautiful thing that you can , THAT will be Amplified.   The Project is anything you like. It does take effort but where do you think the word effortlessly comes from? ( ...no not an egg , although I would like to pull a Bunny Rabbit from the hat...  )   These Losers pulling all the strings could at least TRY getting involved in a Good Project too. ( Then I'll give 'em a Bookmark. ) I will finish with a poem because I'm scribbbbbbbbbbbbbbbling way too much.   Without an Iota Of Weatherman's worry Turn concern Into a plan   Truly ~ Th.
