July, 2008 Newsletter
 

Thanks for subscribing to the newsletter for LiveOnPurpose.info. Live On Purpose is about helping you become conscious of your thought patterns, so you can make better decisions in your life. Don't live an accidental life! Live on purpose. This month's focus is on spirals and growth.

But first, an On-Purpose maxim:

My purposes are the geography that marks out my line of travel toward the person I want to be. ~Alice Koller

There has been quite a bit of activity on the Live on Purpose blog this past month. Here is a synopsis of the posts:

Purposeful Parenting
I share three resources to help parents, including my favorite, The Love and Logic Institute.

James Arthur Ray
I bought his book Harmonic Wealth and have seen him in person. Harmonic Wealth is like the outline for a quality system of living that eradicates stress, frustration and depression. I would recommend his book and workshop to anyone.

How to pull yourself up when you're down in the dumps
I find it interesting that the question what are you eating is not the first approach for a health care practitioner or alternative care specialist when seeking to alleviate the problem of depression in patients.

Purposeful Healing
The body is capable of healing itself if we reduce the stressors to it. If we are to create our health on purpose, then of course, we have to give attention to our bodies, in the form of the proper nutrients, exercise, healthy mental attitudes, the proper rest, etc.

Awareness and Purpose
In order for a person (lets say you) to arrive at a state of being where you can find your purpose (and live it, to boot!), there has to be awareness.

On Grace
The phrase "grace like rain falls down on me" has been running through my head. When rain falls from the sky, it doesnt fall just on one person! It falls on everyone around that person, too. What else engulfs not just one, but everyone near? Light.


For the month of July, I am starting a new tradition! I will create one uplifting inspirational image as a desktop wallpaper for your computer and offer it freely to my newsletter subscribers. Please forward this message to your friends, and encourage them to subscribe!

The wallpaper for the month of July has been archived on the main wallpaper page. It is about growth and spirals. The image is my own original photography of spiral seashells with this quote: "Growth is a spiral process, doubling back on itself, reassessing, and regrouping."

This image is a perfect introduction to the theory of spiral dynamics. Every person is living on their own particular point on the spiral of development, and can only see their problems from that viewpoint. Growth to a new section of the spiral is the best way to more easily solve problems. (Need I say it? Holosync helps this growth happen faster than normal meditation!)

What Is Enlightenment? Magazine
"No theory or system will alter how you see yourself and the world more immediately and profoundly than Spiral Dynamics. What is Spiral Dynamics? Spiral Dynamics is a powerful model and predictive theory of human development and cultural evolution. Under the guidance of Spiral wizard Dr. Don Beck, it has emerged as a powerful new tool for understanding the complexity of human behavior."

Spiral Dynamics Integral
"Briefly, what I am proposing is that the psychology of the mature human being is an unfolding, emergent, oscillating, spiraling process, marked by progressive subordination of older, lower-order behavior systems to newer, higher-order systems as man's existential problems change." ~ CWG

Holosync is an excellent way to guide your personal growth and increase your ability to be creative, to learn, and to cope with life's problems. I have used this CD program since about 2004 and I completely recommend it to everyone. If you have never tried Holosync, go see the web site for yourself.
