Freedom Surfaces When We Let Go of Our Resistance to the Way Things Are

Resistance is a conflict between one emotion and another. You want that feeling you get when you win and you seek to avoid the experience of losing. Have you ever not done something because you spoke too early and you couldn't change your position because of your stubbornness or maybe didn't want to look bad in front of your friends? You know, your assessment of the situation is different than you thought but you continue to hold your position even though you know you may be wrong. We learn to resist certain people and come to assume that everything they say must be doubted. They were wrong before why should I trust them now?

What are we resisting when we are resisting? It is our emotions. And when we do, we do not recognize it as gripping tightly to the emotions we are experiencing. There is little awareness that that is what we are doing. We resist most emotions and are unwilling to release them. Picture the person ready to leap out on his first parachute attempt. As he grips to the overhead bar he needs to pump up his courage to let go. There is an emotion of fear that if it was not present at all, he would jump freely. This example is logical and easily understood but there are far more subtle resisted emotions.

Consider your friend who might think of herself as otherwise brilliant but has come to believe she is not good enough or deserving enough to be happy. Every belief you have even the most subtle conclusions you made about yourself, others and life in general, are attracted so to speak by an emotion. It is what holds the belief in place. The question is why? The law of attraction clearly shows that energy precedes everything. Thoughts, rather small 'things' are a kind of reflection in the physical world of the present moment. The present moment which you seem to be experiencing is like a light bulb shining brightly and as long as it is on. It can only be noticed in the present moment; because that is the only time you can experience the light being on.

When the energy is not moving into the vortex of now, energy intersecting with the observer, there is no light. The only evidence that light exists is in the present. Your emotions are like the energy and they are given rise by your intent. Our emotions range at the higher end, happiness, joy and bliss, to the lower vibrations of despair, hopelessness and powerlessness. The cells in your body are healthy when they experience no resistance to their natural expansion, where they are free. This is the reason happiness and joy is the optimal conditions for success.

Low Voltage Lighting Products - Tailoring Them For Your Use

When it comes time for a home designer, decorator or even a homeowner to put together a lighting plan, low voltage lighting products gives them flexibility and power. By permitting the designer to simply move setups around and make an easy, tailored layout, most low voltage lighting units give the designers more freedom.

Inefficiency, bad design and weight were the obstacles bringing track lighting down when it was first introduced over thirty years ago. They were far too hard to adapt, and way too bright for anyone to look at. Today's track lighting is very different, based largely on the initiation of low voltage lighting products.

It is easy to tailor the lighting in your home without being concerned about troublesome installation or wiring by using low voltage lighting products. Using low voltage lights are cheap, and can be moved on the track to establish the type of lighting you prefer. By using a set number of preset places where the light units may be attached, fixed track lighting give the designer a substantial degree of freedom. Free track lighting is even more adaptable, permitting the designer to move the lights on the track at any given point.

In terms of adaptability, free track lighting is truly the best while fixed track lighting is actually more cost-effective. For those designers who would prefer a free form look in their layout, putting out some effort to locate curved track sections that are able to be connected will work very well. But, they have to be prepared to shell out a little more money, too.

With the inception of "bare wire" low voltage light products, some new developments have been seen. Using only a 12V power supply, the bare wire system is absolutely safe, and permits the lighting units to be moved around easily. It allows more freedom in the design of the system, and the lights can go wherever you want them.

Remote controls can be used in some bare wire systems, telling specific lighting units to move along the wire. Business and homes are finding more use for the bare wire systems, although they are the most popular in museums. When picking out products for home design, affordability is a major concern. Happily, track lighting just so happens to be rather reasonable, even in its, free for selection.

Twin Towers Lights Are Awesome To Behold

The symbolism of the twin beams of light as they thrust skyward from the site of the now ruined but once majestic twin towers in New York is obvious to all who see them.

The first time I saw those twin lights on my television screen, I thought: what a wonderful tribute, what a magnificent way to celebrate and remember the lives of the nearly three thousand people who died there on 9/ll. As their families and friends know, those lights carry a heart-warming message of both encouragement and defiance that is far beyond the power of any of our well meaning attempts to comfort them. But, there is more to it than that.

In my lifetime, there was only one other occasion that compares with 9/ll. That was December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor Day. I was fourteen years old back then. We first heard the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor as it was announced on our family radio that Sunday afternoon. The next day, everyone in my school gathered in the auditorium and together, we listened as President Roosevelt's declaration of war was announced to the nation, the world and us.

The sleeping giant, that was the USA, was awakened by the attack on Pearl Harbor. We went to war. Then, with the attack on 9/11, the sleeping giant was re-awakened. President Bush immediately declared war on terrorism. As we knew in 1941, and again in 2001, as one nation under God, we have a worldwide responsibility to fight for and defend the freedom of people everywhere...or else.

Back in WW2, and in today's 9/11, lives were both lost and changed. As Americans we will always enthusiastically rise to the challenge to: pray, work and support the God-given rights of all people, everywhere to live in freedom. This means, as citizens, we must enthusiastically vow to support patriotism, our troops, and our leaders.
