At each point there is a progression choice and a regression choice. There may be a movement toward defense, toward safety, toward being afraid; but over on the other side there is the growth choice. To make the growth choice instead of the fear choice a dozen times a day is to move a dozen times a day to ward self-actualization. Self-actualization Is an ongoing process: it means making each of the many single choices about whether to lie or be honest, whether to steal or not to steal at a particular point, and it means to make each of these choices as a growth choice.

A human being is not a tabala rasa, not a lump of clay or Plasticine. He is something which is already there. at least a "cartilaginous" structure of some kind. A human being is, at minimum, his temperament, his biochemical balances, and so on. There is a self, and what I have sometimes referred to as "listening to the impulse voices" means letting the self emerge.

When in doubt, be honest rather than not.... Looking within oneself for many of the answers implies taking responsibility. That is in itself a great step toward actualization. This matter of responsibility has been little studied; It doesn't turn up in our textbooks, for who can investigate responsibility in white rats? Yet it is an almost tangible part of psychotherapy. In psychotherapy, one can see it, ean feel it, can know the moment of responsibility. Then there is a clear knowing of what it feels like. This is one of the great steps. Each time one takes responsibility, this is an actualizing of the self." (43386948) + +"Fifth. We have talked so far of experiencing without selfawareness, of making the growth choice rather than the fear choice, of listening to the impulse voices, and of being honest and taking responsibility. All these are steps toward self-actualization, and all of them guarantee better life choices. A person who does each of these little things each time the choice point comes will find that they add up to better choices about what is constitutionally right for him.

It is. for example, a matter of becoming smarter by studying if one is an intelligent person. Self-actualization means using one's intelligence. It does not mean doing some far-out thing necessarily. but it may mean going through an arduous and demanding period of preparation in order to realize one's possibilities. Self-actualization can consist of finger exercises It a piano keyboard. Self-actualization means working to do well the thing that one wants to do.

Peak experiences are transient moments of self-actualization. They are moments of ecstasy which cannot be bought. cannot be guaranteed, cannot even be sought. One must be. as C. S. Lewis wrote, "surprised by joy." But one can set up the conditions so that peak experiences are more likely, or one can perversely set up the conditions so that they are less likely.

They find out who they are and what they are, not only in terms of their mission in life. but also in tenns of the way their feet hurt when they wear such and such a pair of shoes and whether they do or do not like euplanl or stay up all night if they drink too much beer. All this is what the real self means. They find their own biological natures, their congenital natures, which are irreversible or difficult to change."

This includes people who have discovered, who have created actually, who have published things which were advances in human knowledge. Actually, this is not too difficult to understand. This finding tells us something about the nature of science rather than about the nature of creativeness. If I wanted to be mischievous about it, I could go so far as to define science as a technique whereby noncreative people can create. This is by no means making fun of scientists. It's a wonderful thing it seems to me, for limited human beings, that they can be pressed into the service of great things even though they themselves are not great people. Science is a technique, social and institutionalized, whereby even unintelli sent people can be useful in the advance of knowledge. That is as extreme and dramatic as I can make it. Since any particular scientist rests so much in the arms of history, stands on so many shoulders of so many predecessors, he is so much a part of a huge basketball team, of a big collection of people, that his own shortcomings may not appear. He becomes worthy of reverence, worthy of great respect through his participation in a great and respect-worthy enterprise. Therefore, when he dis covers something, I have learned to understand this as a product of a social institution, of a collaboration. If he didn't discover it, somebody else would have pretty soon. Therofore, it seems to me that selecting our scientists, even though they have created, is not the best way to study the theory of creativeness."

If this is so. if you can accept this instead of the tabula rasa model. the person as pure clay which is to be molded or reinforced into any predesigned shape that the arbitrary controller wants, then you must also accept the model of therapy as uncovering. unleashing, rather than the model of therapy as molding, creating and shaping.

At the very least, they bridge the dichotomy between fact and value which is conventionally and unthinkingly held by most scientists arid philosophers to be a defining characteristic of science itself. Many people define science as morally and ethically neutral, as having nothing to say about ends or oughts.

Children were taught to keep a notebook in which they wrote down passages in the books they read that struck them as important, or moving, or worth serious thought; those passages then became themes for meditation. Selected Bible verses were also common themes for discursive meditation. Another common approach was to take a list of virtues, and devote (say) a month to each of them; the child would spend a little time each morning thinking about that month's virtue, and then would try to do every day at least one thing that expressed that virtue in everyday life.

Please think about that for a while. It's not just that the problem of ethnic conflict in the United States "is unlikely to be resolved at one go." It will never be resolved at all.

Human beings are not angels; we are one and all -- no matter what our skin color and ethnic background might be -- guided by tangled motives in which greed, jealousy, and self-centeredness all play important parts; and those motives will guarantee that human beings will continue to be human beings and will continue to behave unjustly to one another. + +I know that seems harsh, but it's true.

Each of us, while we live, are the intersection between two currents of life: a current of biological life descending from our ancestors, and a current of spiritual life descending from our previous incarnations.

Everything you do changes who you are; every one of your actions makes it more likely that you will do the same thing again, and less likely that you'll do the opposite; actions become habits, habits become character, and character becomes destiny. + +For example, every time you use magic to deliberately hurt someone, you turn a little more into the kind of person who deliberately hurts other people; hurting other people comes to mind a little more often when you consider your options, and doing anything less nasty comes to mind a little less often; and since other people respond to the "vibe" you give off as well as your actions themselves, everyone else will be a little more likely to treat you as someone to avoid -- or to hurt.

It is a lot of work, and feels like the mental equivalent of tense muscles. I can do it with an acceptably good amount of visual detail, but it gets to be a strain after a while. These imaginings have a dense feel to them. It is difficult to perceive information about these places or objects in a receptive mode as I seem to be expending a lot of mindspace in creating them and maintaining their presence. If I let up on my concentration they lose their fullness. + +The other kind is much more gossamer and relaxed. An example- I lightly but clearly direct my mind to say SEASHORE, and a whole panoramic view of a seashore and every little thing in it glides into view, like I am focusing a camera lens. It is much more spacious and expansive than the previous kind of vision but it is also much harder to maintain. It's more remote, lighter. It's like when you are dreaming and catch yourself noticing that you are dreaming, and as a result the whole thing vanishes to vapor. In contrast to the previous kind of imagining, I must stay more receptive to maintain the vision. I can "make" things in it, but almost everything else does not feel made by me. Staying connected is often tricky and unstable. + +What's going on here? Do I have two different sets of "visioning" eyes? Should I be concerned that this faculty seems to be divided in me rather than unified? + +Thanks so much! +Bonnie + +From: ecosophia +Excellent. You're beginning to perceive the two functions of imagination. The first is the ability to act on the astral plane; the second is the ability to perceive on the astral plane.

Since reading in your Encyclopedia of Natural Magic that iron is not good for a tool to use to harvest things for magical purposes, I've been on the lookout for something with a decent edge I could cut with, and these stones are pretty sharp. I just have one worry, The land here hasn't been treated how I personally feel is respectful. My Grandpa is partial owner of a hay farm, and they practice pretty conventional agriculture, plowing (that's how the stones got broken), planting with heavy machinery, and generally using roundup ready alfalfa so that there's a certain amount of spraying done as well. + +It's not the way I would choose to farm but I don't feel I currently have the knowledge or the skill to suggest anything else, and don't know if my suggestions would be wanted, so I don't really discuss my misgivings too much. + +That aside, my question is: do you think these stones would be affected by these practices in any way that would negatively affect their use as a magical tool for cutting or harvesting plants, or other things? + +Thanks as always, + +- WindMan + +ecosophia: +Get some tobacco, the best quality you can find, and take it to the field where you got (or will be getting) the stones.

Hold your right hand over the water and imagine a beam of white light descending from your palm into the water. Say aloud: "May light descend into this water and cleanse it. May all impurities depart from it that it may be made holy." + +Now move the same hand over the salt and repeat the same words, but say "salt" in place of "water." + +Now pour the salt into the water. You now have holy water. + +4) Friday at the hour of Venus, and a green candle. + +--- + +In the southern Puget Sound version, for example, after a long and intricate backstory, Moon leaves the land of the salmon people under the sea and starts walking up the river toward the mountains. All the beings who live there know that he’s coming, and they prepare various weapons and traps to stop him, because they don’t want him to change the world. So he meets a man who’s sitting at the water’s edge carving a big flat board out of wood. “What are you doing?” Moon asks him, and he says, “There’s someone coming who’s going to change things, and I’m going to hit him over the head with this board and kill him.” Moon takes the board, sticks it onto the man’s rump, and says, “From now on your name is Beaver. When the people come they’ll hunt you for your fur.” + +Moon goes further up the valley, and he meets another man who’s looking anxiously around from the top of a hill. He has two weapons, one in each hand, and they have many sharp points. “What are you doing?” Moon asks him, and he says, “There’s someone coming who’s going to change things, and I’m going to stab him with all these points and kill him.” Moon takes the weapons, sticks them on the man’s head, and says, “From now on your name is Deer. When the people come they’ll hunt you for your meat and your hide.” + +And so the story goes. In the hands of a skilled storyteller—and storytelling was one of the fine arts in Native American cultures—the story of the Changer would be spun out to whatever length circumstances permitted, with any number of lively incidents meant to point up morals or pass on nuggets of wisdom. There’s no rising spiral of action leading to a grand battle between the Changer and the beings whose world he has come to change; there’s just one incident after another, until the Changer finally reaches the source of the river and leaps into the sky to become the Moon, or turns into a mountain, or goes to whatever his destiny might be, leaving the world forever changed in his wake. + +Notice, dear reader, just how often this pattern is repeated in American history, in the great changes that transform our public life for good or ill. Almost never do you see a single great struggle in which everything is decided. Where the battle of Waterloo came at the end of the Napoleonic Wars and settled them once and for all, our nearest equivalent, Gettysburg, came only a little more than midway through the Civil War, and simply marked the high tide of the Confederacy, the point from which all roads finally led to Appomattox. The changes that matter very often focus around one person who becomes the focus of change, and who proceeds up the river of our national life, encountering one crisis after another and somehow overcoming each one of them, until death or retirement ends the tale—and by the time that happens, the world has changed decisively and nothing will ever be the same again. + +That’s the archetypal pattern I see unfolding in American life right now. I don’t happen to know of a Native American myth in which the Changer’s role is played by a frog with magic powers, but that does seem to be the situation we’re in now. + +Two features of the Changer myth seem particularly relevant at the moment. The first is pointed up skillfully in the stories. The beings who try to stop the Changer and keep the world the same just keep doing whatever they were doing when the Changer arrives: the man with the board keeps carving tree trunks, the man with the many-pointed weapons keeps looking around—and there they are today, the beaver beside his dam, the deer on the hill. Having refused change, they become unable to change, and keep on going through the motions of their failed plans forever. That’s exactly what Trump’s opponents have been doing since his candidacy hit its stride, and more particularly since his inauguration. “From now on your name is Protester,” says the Changer, and sticks a pussy hat on the person’s head and a placard in her hands… + +The flipside of the same narrative can be traced in Trump’s own trajectory. Ever since the beginning of his campaign, his opponents have convinced themselves that this or that or the other thing will surely stop him; incident follows incident, and he just keeps going up the river and changing things. There’s never the grand dénouement they want so desperately. The crisis never comes—and what’s more, it never will come. diff --git a/margin.txt b/margin.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f2729f1 --- /dev/null +++ b/margin.txt @@ -0,0 +1,41 @@ +Live on the Margin + +Money appreciates, time does not.

That got an extremely lively response – lively enough that I agreed to post a series of entries here discussing numerology in more detail. This is the first of those entries. Since it’s an expansion of the material I learned from my late teacher John Gilbert, it also counts as the first installment of the teachings of the eccentric Golden Dawn offshoot he inherited and I received from him. (There will be plenty of those as we proceed.) + +A couple of details probably need to be mentioned before we proceed. First, there are many systems of numerology. The one I practice and teach, which is generally called Pythagorean numerology, was the most widely used version in early twentieth century American occultism. I originally encountered it in various books I read in my teen years, learned it again as part of my studies with John, and more recently found it discussed in a great many out-of-print books on the subject in online archives. It’s the one that reliably works for me, but your mileage may vary. + + +Second, there are many different theories about why it works. I don’t propose to get into those. If you follow the rules you’ll get meaningful results: that’s the promise of the system. Will it work for you? Try it and see. It's fashionable to reject numerology out of hand because it seems so absurd that the sum of the digits in your birth date, or (as we'll see) the sum calculated from the name you generally use according to a distinctly arbitrary system, should provide useful insights into your personality and destiny. I freely grant the apparent absurdity, but as Galileo said, _eppur si muove_: the universe is under no compunction to behave in ways that make sense to us. + +With those points out of the way, let’s go on. In using numerology for personal guidance, three numbers matter: the birth number, the name number, and the time number. Each one of those has its own meaning and importance. I discussed the time number in the entry mentioned above, though there’s more to say about it and we’ll get back to it in due time. For now, we’ll start with the first of the three numbers: the birth number. + +You find your birth number by writing your birth date in numerical form, adding up all the digits, and continuing to add the digits until you get a number between 1 and 9. For example, if you were born on September 3rd, 1987, you would write that out 9 3 1987, and then add 9 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 37; 3 + 7 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1. The birth number for a person born on that day would be 1. + +There are two exceptions to the rule of adding up the digits. If you were born one day later, 4 September 1978, the digits would add up to 38, which equals 11. If you get 11, leave it – that’s a significant number, not simply an intermediate stage on the way to 2. Similarly, on those rare occasions (say, 6 June 2008) when your sum adds up to 22, leave that as well – that’s also a significant number. 11 is a rare birth number and 22 is a very rare birth number, but both do happen, and when they do, it’s worth noting. + +Take the necessary minute or so to add up your birthdate. When you’re done, we’ll go on. + +----- + +Got your number? Excellent. Now let’s talk about what it means. + +Your birth number is sometimes called your life path number or soul path number. It represents the fixed framework of your personality and your life, and it sums up the things about you that won’t change no matter what. It defines the lesson you have come into this incarnation to learn That’s not all of numerology by any means – the name number, which we’ll examine next, represents things you can change, and the time number (or, rather, the numbers generated by it) represent the things that change all by themselves. In any life, however, there are things fixed in place. You can learn to live with them, work with them, and build a happy life around them, or you can slam your head repeatedly into them until you pass out, but either way they won’t move. There are nine birth numbers, and then the special birth numbers 11 and 22. We’ll discuss them one at a time. + +**If your birth number is 1,** the challenge this incarnation places before you is to be yourself, to go your own way and achieve something original with your life. You are equipped for this task withe a strong will and a robust ego. You dislike complexities and have no talent for dealing with them, but given a definite goal and a straightforward way to get there, you are in your element. Winning is everything to you. Your understanding of the world is always shaped by your own interests—your instinct is always, quite literally, to look out for number one—and you generally insist on having your own way. Your emotions tend to be blunt instruments, and you have little if any tolerance for subtlety; you are honest and frank at best, clumsy and rude at worst. Strong, self-assertive, and ambitious, you need to cultivate a sense of fair play and honesty, and remember that the needs and rights of others also have to be taken into account, or your selfishness will turn potential allies into enemies and lead you into fights you can’t win. You tend to suffer from back trouble and respiratory illnesses, and your fortunate colors are red and yellow. The Sun rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 2,** the challenge you face in this incarnation is to interact well with other people. You are prepared for this task by being naturally tactful, considerate, and kind; you can be very persuasive and are skilled at supporting others. You prefer quiet and peaceful surroundings. You rely on your emotions more than your intellect, and this can result in mood swings and in veering back and forth between extremes of feeling. Left to your own devices, it can be very hard for you to make up your mind or choose a definite course of action, but you are skilled at helping others achieve their goals and can develop a talent for diplomacy and negiation. You give good advice to other people but have a much harder time taking care of your own needs. Patience and the ability to see both sides of an issue are your strengths. To thrive, you need to learn how to make decisions, even if you have to flip coins to do so, and learn how to give the same care to yourself that you give to others. You tend to suffer from headaches; your fortunate colors are white and gold. The Moon rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 3,** the challenge you face in this incarnation is to express your creative abilities. You have been equipped for this task with talent in some field, and you also have a quick and versatile mind. You are easily entertained and easily distracted, and you have little tolerance for other people’s demands. You are best suited to work by yourself; it will be difficult for you to learn to keep your surroundings neat and clean, but if you do this you will find that it makes you happier and more productive. The difficult part of the work before you is learning to take life seriously, put your abundant energy to good use, and finish the things you start. It is very easy for you to think only of the present and let the future take care of itself, but if you let yourself follow this inclination you will land in one scrape after another and accomplish little with your life. Learn to make the most of the opportunities that come your way, and put your talents and your adaptability to good use, and you will accomplish marvels. You tend to suffer from illnesses caused by bad habits, excess, and personal neglect; your fortunate colors are light green and rose red. Mercury rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 4,** the challenge you face in this incarnation is to learn self-discipline and build solid foundations. You are prepared for this task with a serious, sober mind; you are naturally risk-averse and prefer stability and security to change for its own sake. You will face some amount of hardship and labor in this life, but you can overcome them and achieve great satisfaction by patient effort. You can work hard, but only when you want to—otherwise you respond to demands with a stubbornness that others sometimes mistake for laziness. You like to take your time making sense of new ideas and new situations, and need to understand what you have to do before you do it. It is easy for you to become fearful of change, but if you let yourself fall into this trap you will miss opportunities for happiness and prosperity and condemn yourself to poverty and misery. Take things a step at a time, follow the rule of honesty and fair dealing, choose high goals you can work toward steadily over the long term, and then apply your talent for disciplined effort, and you can achieve a successful life and leave a meaningful legacy for the future. You tend to suffer from poor circulation and from illnesses caused by stress; your fortunate colors are dark green and dark blue. Venus rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 5,** the challenge you face in this incarnation is learning the lessons of freedom, for you will spend this life in restless seeking and you will always choose your own path. You are equipped for this challenge with abundant energy and overflowing interest in the unfamiliar; you are impatient with routine and prefer change and excitement. You tend toward the eccentric and the extreme, and you tend to have sudden intense enthusiasms which do not always last long. You are quick to accept new ideas and are genuinely interested in people, you do unexpected things and are constantly heading for new places, and when you get into trouble – which happens fairly often! – you are good at finding a way out. Your great weakness is that you often have your eyes fixed so intently on the distant horizon that you fail to notice what’s right in front of your face. You tend to suffer from health problems caused by your own unhealthy habits; your fortunate colors are light blue, light green, and pink. Mars rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 6,** the challenge you face in this incarnation is learning how to accept responsibility for others. You are prepared for this task with an open, generous spirit; you tend to be optimistic, tolerant, honest, and sincere, and people are naturally attracted to you. Treat them fairly and you will thrive. Good fortune tends to be come your way more often than not, so that you have plenty that you can share with others. You dislike conflict and discord and like to live in comfortable, pleasant surroundings. Your great weaknesses are complacency, self-satisfaction, and self-indulgence; if you are not careful you risk falling into hypocrisy and abusing the trust that others place in you, and this will land you in troubles from which you cannot easily extract yourself. If you avoid these mistakes and cultivate a sense of justice and balance, you will earn the trust of others and may rise to a very high position in life. You tend to suffer from heart trouble, nervous conditions, and problems with eyesight and hearing; your fortunate colors are orange and brown. Jupiter rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 7,** the challenge before you in this incarnation is that of achieving wisdom through reflection and insight. You are prepared for this task with a keen and penetrating mind; you are contemplative, imaginative, and intuitive. You prefer solitude to crowds and the life of thought to the life of action. You are likely to have considerable talent in some field of scholarship or creative activity, but you will have to learn to put that talent to work and to overcome a reluctance to move from contemplation to action. Depression is your great obstacle; it is easy for you to become moody and dispirited, and to blame the world for its failure to recognize your talent when you’ve never given the world a fair chance to notice you! Patience, careful planning, and the courage to show yourself and your work to the public are essential if you are to shine. You tend to suffer from psychosomatic illnesses caused by mental and emotional issues; your fortunate colors are purple and gray. Saturn rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 8,** the challenge this incarnation sets before you is that of worldly accomplishment. You are equipped for this task with drive, ambition, and a talent for some field of practical endeavor; you have a forceful nature and have no fear of hard work, and you like to see others working as hard as you do. You like to set things in order and get them moving, and you are good at details. Opposition simply spurs you on to greater effort, and you are rarely so happy as when you are facing a challenge. You are naturally good at business and can thrive under high pressure. Your great faults are a tendency toward selfishness, on the one hand, and a habit of judging everything and everybody in terms of superficial factors such as wealth and status, on the other. Learn how to help others be succesful on their own terms, rather than simply drafting them into service in your own quest for wealth and power, and you will accomplish great good in the world. You tend to suffer from digestive trouble; your fortunate colors are canary yellow and light brown. Uranus rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 9,** the challenge that is set before you in this incarnation is that of service, for you must serve humanity in some way. Public attention is your life blood and you have some ability, talent, or gift that may enable you to get it. You can influence people – in fact, it will be difficult for you not to influence them! You are destined to some form of achievement and so it is essential that you recognize the difference between the things you can do well and the things you can’t, choose a course to follow, and pursue it. You face two serious obstacles, one at the beginning and the other later on. The first is failing to rise to the challenge your talent sets you, and refusing to try to become what you dream; the second is the overconfidence that comes from success, which can lead you to attempt things you know you can’t achieve. Avoid both of these and you will make your mark on the world. You tend to suffer from circulatory troubles and from problems with the reproductive system; your fortunate colors are red and dark brown. Neptune rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 11,** you have the basic characteristics of 2, but in addition you have a gift for vitality, energy, and decisive action, and your intuition can enable you to do the right thing at the right time. You must cultivate these factors, however, or your life will simply unfold as though your birth number was 2. Develop your talents, and your patience, tact, and kindness then becomes a basis for achievement, and all the time you spent weighing both sides of each question enables you to choose your course of action with great skill. You have the capacity for great power and knowledge, but this can be a serious danger if you abuse it. This is the traditional number of the occultist and the mage, and you will likely be drawn to the study of one or more of the occult sciences. You tend to suffer from nerve problems; your fortunate colors are white and violet. The Moon rules this number. + +**If your birth number is 22,** you have all the basic characteristics of 4, but with a rich inner life that often bears at least a trace, and often much more than a trace, of mysticism; this is the traditional number of the mystic. That inner life is your gift and your burden, and deserves its place at the center of your world. You will probably pass unnoticed by most people, and if you let yourself become obsessed with attracting public notice you will be frustrated and miserable. Be patient, and if you feel you must express your personal vision and your inner life in some form that other people can see, do it in a form which will outlast you and have an impact on the future—some of the great classics of mysticism and spirituality have come into being in this way. You tend to suffer from respiratory troubles, and from illnesses caused by neglecting your health; your fortunate colors are cream and coral.

This week’s lesson in numerology focuses on the other half of the equation: the name number, which represents the things in yourself and your life that you can change. As the label suggests, the name number is the sum of the numerical values of the letters of your name, reduced in the usual way to a number between 1 and 9, with 11 and 22 (and possibly other doubled numbers) as special cases. + +The conversion of letters to numbers is handled as shown in the table below. This is the Pythagorean set of letter values, and it’s one of two systems in common use in modern English language numerology—the other is the Chaldean, which takes its letter values from Hebrew. If you find different values in other books or online sources, no, you’re not confused; they’re probably using the other system. This is the one that I learned and that has always worked best for me, but of course your mileage may vary. + +There’s a trap here, however, for those of my readers for whom English is a second language. The table shown above only works if your language has the same letters as English. If it doesn’t, you need to find a different table. No, I can’t point you to one, but in theory all you need to do is write out your alphabet in its normal order and assign the letters to the numbers 1-9, repeating as needed. That’s the principle on which the Pythagorean system works. If English isn’t your native language, give your own language a try and see what you get. + +With that settled, let’s go on to name numbers. Which name do you use as a basis for calculating your name number? Whichever one you usually go by. Yes, this means that if you don’t like your current name number, you can change your name number by changing what people call you. Let’s say that your name is John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith, and everyone knows you as John Smith. That’s 1 + 6 + 8 + 5 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 8 = 44; 4 + 4 = 8. If you don’t like having a name number of 8, you don’t have to keep it: start going by Jacob Smith, 1 + 1 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 8 = 37 = 10 = 1, and you’ve got 1 for a name number; go by J.J. Smith and you’ve also got a 1; go by Jay Smith and you’ve got a 6; or go by J. Jingleheimer Smith if you prefer that, and you’ve got a 5. And that’s without even doing a legal name change! + +Yes, I know that rationally speaking this shouldn’t have the kind of effect that numerology claims it does. Let me whisper one of life’s great secrets in your ear: the world isn’t rational. That’s why occultism flourishes in every age and among every people: it deals, as rationality can’t, with all the places where human reason trips and falls flat on its nose in dealing with a universe too vast and complex for our minds to process. + +Take the few minutes you need to calculate your name number, taking the name you normally use as the basis for the calculation. When you’ve finished, we’ll go on. + +\* \* \* \* \* + +Got your number? Excellent. Now we’ll discuss what it means. + +As your birth number represents the lesson you came into this life to learn, your name number represents the methods and strategies you’re using to achieve it. You can use any name number to meet the challenges of any birth number, though some work together more easily than others! (To know how a name number will influence a birth number, add them together and consider what the sum means—we’ll discuss this in more detail later on, when I post about adding numbers and interpreting the results.) + +The name number is also known as the number of development. There are nine birth numbers, and also the special numbers 11 and 22. We’ll take them one at a time. + +**If your name number is 1,** your best strategy is always to get moving, make things happen, and deal with problems as they come up. Don’t try to plan out everything in advance—that’s not your strong suit. Instead, hit the ground running, choose the best opportunity you see, and stick to that. Avoid speculative ventures or long range projects, take each day and each project as it comes, and move straight ahead to your goals. You have the energy, courage, and ambition you need to succeed; you are likely to make plenty of money, though you also tend to spend it just as easily. Keep moving and deal with problems as soon as they come up, and you’ll be fine. + +**If your name number is 2**, you are good at planning and you have the potential for excellent judgment, but you lack the initiative to take the lead and make things happen. You have a changeable disposition that can leave you subject to mood swings and vagaries of action, and if you let this get the better of you, you will land in trouble. Instead, focus on expressing your naturally friendly and agreeable qualities, avoid arguments, and remember that patience and careful judgment are your strengths. Choose friends and associates who can take your advice and guidance and do something with it, and beware of sentimentality, which will lead you into unhappy relationships, failure, and spitefulness. + +**If your name number is 3**, you have the capacity to become a jack of all trades and a master of some. You tend to be impatient with things that you think are small or trivial; rein in that habit and pay attention to the subtle details, and you will achieve much. You have a gift of self-confidence that will help you, but be careful not to let it go overboard and lure you into making promises you can’t keep, or thinking you know more than everyone else! Learn to take advice from others, and focus on making the most of situations where your versatility and quick thinking can shine, and you will flourish. + +**If your name number is 4**, you have a talent for hard work and reliability that can take you very far indeed. Your steadiness and dependability make you a valuable friend, partner, and employee. Choose your path with care, after adequate time to research and reflect, but once you’ve chosen, move steadily toward your goal and you can achieve almost anything you can imagine. You will attract friends, though you will need to be careful to avoid people who simply want to exploit your dependability for their own benefit. Remember to learn new things as you go, and don’t let yourself fall into the common 4 habit of underestimating your own capacities—you can accomplish much more than you think. + +**If your name number is 5**, you have an independent mind and shine best when working by yourself. You find it easy to learn from experience but hard to take advice or apply the lessons of others. You will be most successful in life if you can make it an adventure, for change is essential to you and risk adds spice to your experiences. You will have to work to overcome your restless nature when steady work is required, but if you do this you will excel. You are naturally lucky, but don’t count on luck carrying you through every obstacle, because your luck is as unsteady as the rest of your life. A little ordinary caution and some practical preparations for trouble will help stave off the risks involved. + +**If your name number is 6,** you have a gift for making people like and trust you. Follow through on the promises you make to them, respond to their trust and loyalty by being loyal to them in return, and you will attract them to whatever you do—as customers if you are in business, as students if you teach, as supporters in you go into politics, or what have you. Integrity is your great strength, while your great weakness is the temptation to take the love and loyalty of others for granted. Avoid drastic changes and radical action, remember that each day builds momentum that will pay off in the long term, and you can rise very high in the world. + +**If your name number is 7**, you have the capacity for original thought and deep reflection. You will do best in a situation that makes use of your mind and your creative talents. Learn to plan your activities in advance and move step by step toward your goals, and always take the time to think through every important decision before you make it, and you can accomplish great things. Your great weaknesses are depression, on the one hand, and a tendency to chase impractical daydreams on the other; focus your efforts on things you can reasonably hope to accomplish, and remember that you will need help from others if you wish to achieve financial success, since you have no natural talent in that direction. + +**If your name number is 8,** you have the capacity to achieve great things in business or in any practical field, and if you want to make money you can do so—though you will have to work at it. This is a number of hard work and big plans, and it requires you to set realistic goals for yourself and pursue them over the long term. You will need to learn how to tell the difference between real opportunities and illusory ones, for not every door you encounter leads to success; if you learn from the experiences of others you can avoid many problems. Jealousy and self-indulgence are your great weaknesses; think big and enlarge your heart to make room for others, and you will do well. + +**If your name number is 9,** you have the capacity for great accomplishment in at least one field of activity, but you will need to set your sights high if you are to fulfill that capacity. Drudgery and boredom are very difficult for you to tolerate. Your great weaknesses are pride and arrogance, which can lead you into self-defeating behavior. Strive to live up to high ideals and to be fair to others, and you will avoid that pitfall. This name number can lead to great success or great failure; you will need to work harder to achieve the former and avoid the latter than most people, though you can succeed if you give others the same respect you give yourself. + +**If your name number is 11,** you have the keen judgment of a 2 combined with the capacity for decisive action. This will tend to surface spasmodically—that is, you may go for years living life as a 2, suddenly accomplish something that relies on decisive action, and then settle back to the relative calm and balance of a 2. Choose your goals carefully, think through all the details of your plan, and be sure of your timing, and you can accomplish your goals. Pay attention to intuition and inspiration as sources of guidance, and consider learning and practicing one or more of the occult sciences—they will benefit you. + +**If your name number is 22,** you have the capacity to venture into unexplored fields of thought and action. As a name number, this is the mark of the eccentric and the genius, but it can also be the number of the misfit and the misunderstood failure. The patient discipline and capacity for work that characterizes the number 4 is essential, and must be cultivated in order to put your unusual talents to good use. Focus on practical results rather than airy abstractions, or you risk overvaluing your ideas and becoming one of the legions of unsuccessful cranks. + +\* \* \* \* \* + +So there you have it. Take the time to think about your name number and see how well it fits the way you habitually tend to deal, or not deal, with the events and challenges of your life. If you have the chance to work out the name number of other people you know well, do the same thing. Always remember that your name number is only one of the numbers that numerology uses to understand your life; it needs to be assessed alongside the birth number, and certain other, minor numbers to give a complete picture—and then the time number needs to be factored in to see how the number influences are working at any given point in your life. In the next installment, we’ll discuss how to use the time number to make sense of every day and every year. diff --git a/otr-apn.txt b/otr-apn.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cf8618d --- /dev/null +++ b/otr-apn.txt @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +Thank you so much for that information, Scott.

Ingredients
1/2 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano, divided
2 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
8 (5-ounce) pieces skinless black cod, Pacific cod, or haddock fillet (about 1 inch thick), any bones removed
1 lemon, very thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata-style black olives, pitted and cut into slivers
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer; 8 (12- to 15-inch) squares of parchment paper; kitchen string
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F with a baking sheet on bottom rack.
Cut potatoes into very thin slices with slicer. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Divide potatoes among parchment squares, arranging them in center, slightly overlapping, then top with a piece of fish. Sprinkle each fillet with a scant 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, then top each with a lemon slice, a few garlic slices and olive slivers, parsley leaves, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/2 tablespoon oil.
Gather sides of parchment up over fish to form a pouch, leaving no openings, and tie tightly with kitchen string. Put packages on hot baking sheet and bake until fish is just cooked through, 15 to 22 minutes.
Cooks' note: Fish can be assembled in parchment 4 hours ahead and chilled.

Most years, my year is made by an ousized performance over a relatively short period of time.

And level three, if nothing else is available nearby, is to just pick a % that you are comfortable with. Maybe 3%.

Rather than an all or nothing approach, this one has you sell half as soon as you have some profit and have an itch to sell. The remaining balance though, becomes much more systematic. Here is how it works: + +Let's say the position size is 20% and we buy where it shows on the chart. At that moment, 20% of our capital is at risk, and it could fall all the way down to the bottom red line before we would stop out. Our entry is the moment when our principal is at its greatest level of risk. That's when we could lose the most. If the trade immediately goes against you, you get stopped out of the full position for a predetermined loss. + +But what if it goes your way, but not all the way to your target? When you are trying to catch some momentum, like the precious metals right now, I will sell half or 1/3 when the stock stops rallying and looks like it wants to fall again. At that moment, I move the stop on the remaining shares up to break even. Now I have a guaranteed winner already booked and a stop at break even. + +After that, I try to systematically move my stops up each time there is a swing low. You can see how that works on the chart. It doesn't always work out, because the stock might not be trending higher or lower and is instead choppy. But creating a systematic approach that let's you harvest part of your gains early makes it a little easier to hold on to your remaining shares for a higher gain than you otherwise might. + +## leveraged ETFs + +Not sure exactly how they work, but I think I understand how to trade them. Look at the chart for the underlying asset to make you move. So for QQQT leveraged, use QQQ to make your chart. If it's a setup you like QQQT should theoretically move 3X to QQQ. But that's only over the short term. Long term the leveraged is nowhere near the actual asset. because of the math: + +> If a $100 etf were to go up 10% one day, and then down 10% the next day, how much would it be worth? $100? No. It'd be worth $99. Now what if that etf had a 3x leveraged counterpart? That would mean it would go up 30% one day, and down 30% the next day, leaving it worth how much? Just $91. That means that in just two days the leveraged etf was down 9% versus the underlying etf's drop of just 1%. It worked on day one perfectly, but by day two the whole concept had fallen apart. diff --git a/viral-treatment.txt b/viral-treatment.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4ec3bf1 --- /dev/null +++ b/viral-treatment.txt @@ -0,0 +1,134 @@ +Dr. David Brownstein’s antiviral protocol for his patients during acute illness or exposure to someone ill: + +Vitamin A (NOT beta carotene) + +– Adults: 100,000 IU/day for four days for adults (not pregnant or breast-feeding women) +– Children 25-50 pounds: 20,000 IU/day for four days +– Children 50-100 pounds: 50,000 IU/day for four days + +Vitamin D3 +– Adults: —50,000 IU/day for four days +– Children 25-50 pounds: 10,000 IU/day +– Children: 50-100 pounds: 25,000 IU/day + +(Note: Both Vitamin A and D are fat-soluble vitamins.

When it triggers, we can feel pretty confident that the stock's momentum is headed our way. Obviously, this isn't the case with every trade, but by sticking to this, we increase our odds of at least some follow through of the current move. + +### Rule #2 - Short-Term Moving Averages headed the right direction + +This goes hand-in-hand with the Wanderer Signal. If there is a buy signal we want to see both a rising 20-DMA, and a rising 50-DMA. This is sort of added protection that what we are buying has the short-term momentum headed our way. With a sell signal, obviously then, we want to see a falling 20- and 50-DMA. Do not enter an option trade with the MAs headed the wrong way. + +### Rule #3 - Option Bid/Ask spread of 5% or less + +Switching gears now to the options side of the trade. When looking for an option to trade, you want to find a stock whose option bid/ask spread is under 5% wide. In an illiquid stock you'll find that an option market exists, but that the spread is very wide. This means you'll be losing both on the way into a trade, and the way out. The tighter the spread the better. An example of a good spread would be $4.00 Bid / $4.10 Ask. Ten cents wide, divided by $4.00 gives you a 2.5% spread. Not bad. + +### Rule #4 - 3% Trade Size + +This is a rule, but really just a rule-of-thumb. If you are totally new to options trading, a 1% portfolio size option trade is reasonable. I think 3% is a pretty good level for most traders. Occasionally you'll go on a run of losses. At 3% trade size, a long string of losses still won't be too damaging. But if you were trading 10% size, a string of losses could mean real trouble to the size of your account. Remember, 3% refers to the size of your portfolio. If you are trading a $100,000 portfolio, then you'd trade $3,000 worth of options on a trade. If the calls you were buying are $3.00 each ($300), you would buy 10 contracts. + +### Rule #5 - At-The-Money Strike Price, Roughly 25-45 Days Until Expiration + +You shouldn't need to spend any time agonizing over what strike price to buy. Simply pick the at-the-money strike. For expiration, keep it right around a month or a little more remaining. Do those two things and you won't have a lot of time decay to contend with. + +### Rule #6 - Stop Loss at 25% Max + +Now that you've made your trade, it's time to manage it. Number one rule in all of trading is to manage your risk. Our Wanderer method puts a hard cap of 25% on your trade. That's it. There is nothing else to think about. If the trade has gone against you 25% then clearly something wasn't right. End the trade and move on to the next. There are three ways to do this. One is simply to watch your trade. Two is to set an alert on your charts near where you calculate the risk to be ~20%, then go in and manage the trade if that alert triggers. Three is to set a stop loss order. In the past I haven't been a big fan of stop orders, and I'm still not, but I recognize that they can be useful. A couple of tips for using stops with options. Only use day orders, and don't place the order until after the market opens for the day. Also, use a stop limit order, with the stop one price and the limit a few cents lower. Lastly, set an alert on your charts about where you think that will trigger, and try to go in as soon as you can to double check that your stop has filled. If you can't be around to do any of these things, simply close out your options trade before you leave. + +### Rule #7 – Sell First half at 25% Profit + +Exactly like it sounds. When you've reached a profit of 25% you sell half of your position. Traders new to options often sell too early, or hold too long, forgetting that you don't have to close a trade all at once. + +### Rule #8 – Sell Second Half on a 20% Trailing Stop + +Once you have reached the 25% profit level you will sell your first half, and then use a stop at 5% profit. As your profit climbs, you move the stop higher. At 40% profit, move stop up to 20%. Do this continuously until the trade runs out of steam and stops you out. Over time we've found that this results in around half of our trade's second half stopping out for less than 25%. However, the profits from the trades that continue to run, result in an overall higher return. + +These are the rules of the Wanderer Options Momentum Strategy. We've designed this to be as simple as possible to follow along with, and to be as hands-off as is possible with options trading. As with all of our trading at Wanderer, we consider risk management to be the most important aspect, and this system is no different. But, a system like this is not automated, which means that the trader himself is the automator. We suggest you follow the system robotically. When it is time to buy, you buy, when it is time to sell, you sell. Don't second guess. After you have a long history of trades, you can begin to tweak the system to suit your needs, and we'll list some possible ways to do that, but in the beginning, just follow the rules. diff --git a/wired guide list.txt b/wired guide list.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d26c3f3 --- /dev/null +++ b/wired guide list.txt @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +Password Managers +Drones +Amazon Fire Tablets +How to Improve Wi-Fi +Barefoot Shoes +Kids Podcasts +Action Cameras +Portable Grills +VPNs +Photo Printing Services +How to Buy Used on eBay +How to Start and Keep a Healthy Habit +Tents +Chef Knives +Best Tea Accessories +How to Backup Your Digital Life +RSS Readers +Best Mirrorless Cameras +Organic mattresses +Best Binoculars +How to Buy a Laptop +Portable Hard Drives + +Planned +Best crypto trading wallets +Best podcast apps +Camp cooking guide +Lenses every photographer should have +Do more with your gopro action cam (accessories, etc) +Control the Content of Amazon Kids+ +Full size grill guide +Guide to video formats and terms |
