Maximizing your Luck opportunities

Ok, so there are four principles to having good luck manifest in your life. The first one is Maximizing your Luck Opportunities.

What does this entail? Well, there are three basic parts to this:

  1. Build a strong "network of luck"
  2. Have a relaxed attitude toward life
  3. Enjoy new experiences
So, what does this mean?

Well, to build a strong 'network of luck', you have to go out, meet people, and be interested in them just for the sake of meeting people. Extroverts tend to be lucky. They meet a lot of people, they talk a lot, and when they meet people and talk to people who can help them, they manage to make the connections they need.

The Relaxed attitude toward life means you're a) open to spur of the moment or new things, and b) not too wound up when things go wrong. You don't hold grudges, you're not neurotic about what people think about you or what the future holds. You roll with it. Go with the flow. You have a goal, but the route is open.

Enjoying new experiences gives you the means to try different things, take (responsible, moderate) chances, and being open to finding something new that you love.

All of these things help you to increase your luck. New things and new people bring new opportunities.

The sun came out. Many things were brought to light. And it was good. What? They can't all be deep. Psalm 36 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life:

100 books to read

I went and found this over on my old livejournal. I've decided to start working on the list again.  I have read a few of the books since I posted the original list in July 2008, but I'll update it as I go along. "Someone" reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they’ve printed. It's not the Big Read though -- they don't publish books, and they've only featured these books so far. In any event... 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you started but did not finish. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Reprint this list in your own blog so we can try and track down these people who’ve read 6 or less and force books upon them.

The Masonic Egregore

A reasonable summary of the concept of the "Egregore" can be found at the following link: http://salemos.tripod.com/index-50.html My question is this: Does anyone share my feeling that Freemasonry has an egregore that is fed by performing its ritual, regardless of the intent of the ritualists? In other words, for those of us that are inclined to find a truly deeper spiritual aspect of our Craft, is there truly a "house not made with hands" that is sustained by the many who regularly perform the ritual, but which - at least on a certain level - is only accessible to those "with eyes to see"? Many people are attracted to Masonry looking for a deeper level of spirituality than they can find in daily life, or in a merely personal, individual search. For many, contemporary Freemasonry is a disappointment in this regard. Yet the power of its symbols & rituals are undeniable. I, however, feel that Freemasonry has an inherent "built in" spiritual as
