The Very Pulse in YOU is the Want
Now we begin to have the benefits of practical knowledge of the actions and reactions, the powers and limitations, of human beings, which gives us valuable awareness of how we tick and how our mainsprings may get out of order-too tight, too loose, or perhaps a little rusty.
We see that there are two powerful drives in everyone, which have been called self-expansion and love-absorption: first, briefly, the desire and purpose to express our capacities; and second, the need to merge with the opposite sex, to enjoy the interest, excitement, and comfort the other sex can bring us.
Serving these two basic needs are two forces of the mind that separate our natures into emotional and intellectual aspects. By emotional, is meant the whole force of your protoplasm; your hunger, thirst, desire for freedom of action, your need of love and intimacy, of companionship, of equality, the feeling of wishing to get forward in life, of accomplishing things; in other words, your emotions of rage, fear, sex, and wonder, and their natural reactions. All these are emotional, the urging of your physical forces, the power of your personality. But they have no directive capacity. They can be expressed negatively or positively at demand. They are mere power There is no direction in steam; it is also mere power. It has to be given shape to be of value. We contain it in some form - a boiler for instance - and its power is turned into use.
The intellectual processes are your imagination, your memory, your judgment, your reason, your ability to focus upon some aspect of experience. But all of these, imagination is the key to the functioning of your life. This creative impulse builds the series of images, the behavior patterns, the pictures of desire and purpose fill your mind. The deep, powerful, emotional drive then functions through these intellectual processes to bring purposes into being. To understand these important factors of human consciousness and learn how to use them for the benefit of your own life, is the very secret of living. It is the one and only promise of a successful future. It is, in fact, the way to the discovery of your SOUL, which should be the designer and builder of any future that is to be truly valuable to you and the world.
My blog will continue to uncover woman and young girls who live this and who also live knowing they have and can trust their silent partner.
The moment you touch YOUR want YOUR life begins.

Strange that we Belittle Simplicity
Strange that we so belittle simplicity. “To be simple is to be great,” said Emerson. And Lincoln is said to have remarked: “Make it so simple a child will understand, then no one will misunderstand. An absolute essential to planning your future is to know as much as possible about yourself. Some people, by instinct, or a kind of luck, do a fair job of understanding themselves. But since we are all suggestible, most of us have been influenced by the Niagara of notions other people pour on us as to who and what we are. And if their conclusions are even ten percent right we are fortunate. We have been too ready to accept confusing conclusions as to what we are like, and taken too little trouble to carry on our own self-discovery

Insist on Yourself; Never Imitate
Think of Galileo abrogating his love of knowledge to become an industrialist or Michelangelo surrendering his love of beauty to run a pile driver. So lets think again what sacrifice truly means. You do not sacrifice your automobile every time you use it. You do not abnegate your house because you live in it. To use things in the wrong way, or for the wrong purpose is what sacrifices them, injures them denies their usefulness. To use ourselves for the wrong purpose is desecration of life.
We must be willing to find a task that our abilities can fulfill and then obey the requirements that nature and that task demand. No purpose is fulfilled otherwise.

Born of Courage
I knew that it would be turned into a book, series and workshop, it would not not get done. In his Ode: "Intimations of Immortality,” Words worth writes about shades of the prison-house” that begin to close. As children, “trailing clouds of glory,” we “behold the light,” but gradually we lose sight of its radiance. Then comes a time when the only light we behold is that of “common day,” and we feel cut adrift. No longer a carefree child, we begin to hold ourselves in check, censoring those wild impulses toward creativity.
I now know the experiences I have been through are not just messages rather they are gifts and that I am to share them with others but first, I had to search deep to come to discover it within my own uniqueness.
Sooner or later, this shift occurs in each of us, thrusting us upon a lifetime journey of discovering and expressing creative self.
The life that urges us to create, however, can never be concealed or shut away forever. Ever present, it simply awaits our recognition and expression. It is our very nature and being. The deep envelops us, rises within us.
And so, I made a vow to again surrender and allow myself to be use as a vehicle of expression for this message that needed to be created and delivered. In the next weeks of posts these message will be delivered.

Ruling Love, Ruling Interest, Ruling Hope
There are three primary centers, or, let us say, one primary center with two others branching from it that form the spring board for success in life. The primary impulse of our nature we call the ruling love. The supporting inclinations we name the ruling interest and the ruling hope. The form these feelings take indicates what we might describe as the height, breadth, and depth of our natures. But whatever they may be, to discover and foster their function is the best guarantee for a satisfying future. To ignore or defy them certainly threatens the well being of anyone...in other words “Who am I?”
A useful way to get back into the truth of who you are is first to find your ruling love, someone thing in life that you know you love. You can have more than one, however, one is a great place to start. Question yourself. Do you love being on the water, or do you deeply love stars or trees? Do you truly love sunsets? Do you actually love music? Do you love gain more than anything else, or selling, or research, or homemaking? Make that one thing that is absolutely real to you your intimate companion.
