My Excellent Weekend Pt. III

Auto Finishers of Rochester NY hosted a very nice auto show this past Saturday. The cars were gorgeous and the Auto Finishers staff were most kind and helpful including owners Richard and his wife Patty who also had a beautiful car there on display as well. vehicles ranged from classics like the Corvette Sting Ray to some really exotic modified CHEVY and FORD SUV's some of which sported well over 500 watts of cranking sound power. The weather was perfect for the event and all the car owners were happy to have the crowd take peeks inside and under the hoods of their cars.
These were some of the hottest rods in the Rochester area I hope the pictures truly do these rides justice.
Some rides that really caught my eye were the lime green Oldsmobile 442, the burnt orange Suburban with the shamrock on the back ..this was a pretty ride.

My journey through the internet
A Most Excellent Western Ny Weekend
without comments
This was a great weekend here in Rochester,NY. Thursday night led me to a Gavin DeGraw concert at Nola’s a local barbque joint/nightclub. Excellent food was had by yours truly. Garlic-cajun peel and eat shrimp followed by Memphis rubbed ribs, pulled pork, halfh chicken barbqued to perfection with sides of bourbon baked beans, cheesy mashed potatoes and corn bread.
Matt Werx opened for Gavin DeGraw and had an awesome show in his own right. As you will see in the video.
The crowd was in great form and the show was excellent. it went on until about 11pm and then Gavin even did a meet and greet for the fans who were kind enough to buy a t-shirt , hat or cd from the concession stand. If you’ve never tried Nola’s for food and music it quite a place to be if you like good bar-b-que, good music, stiff drinks and great service.
But thats just the beginning of the weekend. The HSBC banking fiasco had far reaching effects all across the country even here in Rochester, NY. I unfortunately along with many others at the work place were victims of the computer glitch. Sitting home and feeling pretty rotten about not being able to access my hard earned paycheck I resigned myself to a pretty boring weekend.

Tumbling all the way to the bank

This lady shows that you can sell just about any thing on the internet. Her name is Linda Katz and she is the internet tumbleweed queen. That's right I said the tumbleweed queen. Linda who lives on the Kansas prairie came up with the idea to sell genuine Kansas tumbleweeds on the web.
She sell them for $15, $20, and $25 apiece depending on their size and it seems that she sells at least 10- 15 per week. She has had customers from Hollywood movie sets buy her tumbleweeds, people in Dubai, even NASA has bought them from her and refuse to buy from anyone else.
Most people buy them to recreate that western ambiance in their homes or for western themed parties. She has even sold tumbleweeds to Barney the big purple dinosaur for his show.
Hats off to Linda Katz who shows us that with a little effort you can sell ANYTHING on the internet!

Lesson 1 - What exactly is money?

There is no idea that seems to be as misunderstood as the idea of "Money."On one hand we find many people engaged in a mad chase after money for money's sake. Then there are others who will tell you that money is the root of all evil, and severely criticize you for actively seeking it.
I am here to tell you that both groups are wrong. They are standing on opposite sides of the road and the truth found here as with many things lies in the middle of the road. The person who seeks money as a thing of value, worships it as a god is a fool, because he or she is mistaking a symbol for reality. likewise the person who decries the pursuit and desire for money as something foul or evil this person would make money a devil and is also foolish. the wise view is taken by one who sees money as a symbol of something else behind, and who is not deluded by mistaking the shadow for the substance either for evil or for good. wise thought makes money neither a god nor a devil, but sees it as a symbol of almost everything that he or she may obtain from the outside world and respects it as such. While avarice and greed are detestable and hurtful qualities of the mind, lack of proper desire for, and striving after money makes a person a creature devoid of all that makes life worth living.
When a sane person desires money he or she really desires the many things that money will purchase. Money is a symbol for nearly everything that is necessary for human well being and happiness. With it man can open the door to all sort of opportunities, and without it he can accomplish practically nothing. Money is the tool with which man can carve many beautiful things, and without the aid of which he is helpless. Here is an important point coming and i want everyone to get this. Money is but the concentrated essence of things desired, created, and established by society in it's present stage of development.
There have been times in which there was no money- there may be times coming in which the human race will have passed beyond the need of money as a symbol of exchange and posession but be this as it may the fact remains that now right here in the beginning of the 21st century there is nothing that is so necessary for man's well being and contentment as this much abused thing called money.
Remember this first , last and always that when i say man needs money, I mean that he needs the many things that money will purchase for him. And for anyone to decry the the desire for money is for him to deny the the desire for nearly all the good and desirable things in life. Here is a simple but powerfully true statement: Unless a person acquires money, then he shall not eat; nor be clothed; nor have shelter; nor books; nor music; nor anything else that makes life worth living for a thinking and feeling being. People who belittle the desire for money are generally those who have found themselves lacking in the qualities that tend to attract money; or else those who are in the possession of money that has been inherited or otherwise acquired without the labor, excitement or satisfaction of having been made by themselves.
with the first group it is a matter of "sour grapes"; with the second it is a case of financial indigestion which has left the person devoid of a normal appetite.
Money is still necessary in order that man may have the necessities of life, as well as a few luxeries. We cannot live on beautiful theories, but must have bread and butter, and potatoes, and sometimes a piece of cake or pie- and it takes money to get them. Money means freedom, independence, liberty, and the ability to do great good, as well as great evil. It means the opportunity to carry out great plans and fulfill great ideals. It means the filling in of those mental pictures that we have sketched out in our minds. It means the chance of materializing those airy "castles in Spain" that we have dwelt upon in moments of hopeful ecstasy. Yes , money is the wizard, able and willing to work wonders. It is indeed the genie who can and will do it's masters bidding.
I hold that in the present stage of evolution of man, money is to mankind what air, water , and sunshine and earth are to the plant- it is nourishment. and as in the plant, the desire for nourishment is a natural and worthy instinct, so is the desire for this financial nourishment in man a perfectly natural and worthy instinct- it is the working of the same natural law.

All Around Success....What most of us want

What most of us want is all around success, but no one can be an all around success with out financial independence. No matter how much good a person may want to do, he is handicapped by a lack of money. All the air castles that he has built, all the beautiful plans that he has created; all the cherished desires to do good- all go unfulfilled because there is no money with which to complete them. Before these air castles can become real building, before these plans can become realities, before these great desires can be fulfilled , before any of these great things can be manifested into living realities- the LAW must be seen, understood, and put into conscious operation and the purpose of this blog and the e-course that i am offering is to tell you HOW TO DO IT!
I have always seen a need for there to be something to fill this want for knowledge. From studying the lives of financially successful people it seems that financial success is not a matter of grind, and rush, and fight, and struggle. It seems to be more of a matter of getting into harmony with the LAW, and then following that LAW to it's logical conclusion. I will try my best to share the LAW here in this blog and the e-course, how to get in harmony with it- and what to do to keep in closest touch with it.
This information is by no means meant to be a magic potion as some would have you believe. It is just a plain statement of the LAW so that all who come here may read, and then act. He who acts will win success because he is following the LAW that has been laid down from time immemorial. whether you are rich or poor, successful or unsuccessful matters not this information will be of great value to you. if you are a natural money maker you have been using this LAW unconsciously, and this information will help you to use it consciously.
If you are unsuccessful and money seems not to be attracted to you this information will guide your thought and actions into the proper channels where you will be able to manifest the LAW and get the highest possible results.
so now that i have laid the foundations of what lies ahead, get your self a cup of your favorite beverage and pull your chair up to the table to partake of the nourishment that I will try to provide in the following posts. As they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so take a taste of this which has been gathered for your mental, physical, and financial well being.

Welcome back again . I will try to wrap up the introduction of the mini-course and get to the meat of the subject. I am a blogger part -time, my day job is that of a Surgical Technologist so some evenings it's a little tougher to get the blog done. But I will endeavor to keep the blog and mini course going for you all because I truly believe that it is important for as many people as possible to have this information.
....this is how man rose from the savagery and barbarism into what he is today. And this is how we will advance from what we are today into what we will become in the days to come ...a creature as much superior to the man of today as we are superior to the barbarian.
here is a brief explanation of the human attainment: The subjugation and the mastery of nature's forces. Then man discovered the LAW underlying these forces. we then harnessed the force, and made it work our wills.
Man is a part of Nature ...a product of the definite and orderly creative force of the universe. We result from and and are driven by this relentless creative force. It is our destiny to understand and control it. Some of you may object and say "this is all very well. and undoubtedly true of the physical forces of nature but Financial success cannot be classed with these forces."
You may say Financial Success is purely a latter -day development, and cannot be identified with the great natural forces of the world.
One of the reasons I am doing this is to show you that the Law of Financial Success id a part of the Great Law of Use and Nourishment which is in full operation everyday through animal and vegetable life. It is the same Law that manifests in the form of the securing food by the animal, the securing of nourishment by the plant. Even more so it is the same LAW which causes the atom of oxygen to attract to itself two atoms of hydrogen in order to form a molecule of water. Water all over the world is made of just these two substances combined in this proportion. The atom of oxygen has the power to operate the great LAW of attraction and Use, on the two atoms of hydrogen, and when it draws them to itself, the tiny globule of water results.
The oxygen needs the hydrogen to accomplish it's life mission, the plant needs the drop of water to accomplish it's life mission, and the animal needs the plant to accomplish it's life mission. And modern man needs financial success to accomplish his life's mission.
Each one draws to itself that which it needs in proportion to it's use of the LAW.The same LAW in it's various forms is in operation everywhere in the same way.
In the chemical , mineral, vegetable, and animal worlds, the desire which prompts the attraction , and the will which manifests the desire , are unconsciously exerted. with man , it is different. He has developed consciousness, and to live his full life, and accomplish his manifest destiny he must use that consciousness in discovering, understanding and availing himself of the natural forces inherent in the LAW.
This is the very heart of the purpose of this e course that I am offering, I want to point out

1. The existence of the LAW of Financial Sussess
2. to lead my readers to an understanding of this LAW
   
3. To put into the spotlight the results of the experience of financially successful people in the direction of the operating of the LAW.

I just ask you to consider the following:

• All progress whether physical, mental, or spiritual, moral, or financial is based upon LAW. And anyone who wins success in any line does so because he has followed the LAW or LAWS pertaining to his business, whether he does it consciously or unconsciously.
  
• Some of our great "business leaders", who have won marvelous successes in financial affairs (though they may have failed miserably as moral or spiritual beings), have won their great success along this line because they consciously or unconsciously have discovered the underlying LAW, and by concentrating upon it alone, to the exclusion of everything else in life, have manifested the operation of the LAW to an almost abnormal degree.

There is no such thing in nature as blind chance, accident, or uncaused luck. Everything in nature operates according to Law. Law underlies everything. You may doubt this, but stop a moment and try to think of anything in our limited world that is not the effect of some cause. For example: a great stone is dislodged and rolls down the mountainside striking a tree which it uproots and sends rolling down into a stream, which is dammed up, causing a flood that sweeps away a fertile field and so on effect following effect. Was this all mere blind chance? Not at all. The stone was dislodged in response to the operation of causes that had been at work for centuries disintegrating the stone, and which caused it to become loosened exactly at the moment when the inherent power of the cause reached that particular stage. There was no more chance in the dislodgement of the stone than there was in the ringing of an alarm clock that had been set a day, a week, or a year in advance. It was all the result of invariable and consistent LAW. So was the direction of the stone's fall; and all the succeeding events.
But if some man had been able to discover and understand the LAW in operation in that latent power inherent in the stone, he would have been able to prevent the stone striking the tree and causing all the resulting damage, and he might have been able to divert the stone from it's path of damage and turn it into some place in which it would have done no harm, and in which he could have broken it into bits at his leisure and maybe secured building stone to lay the foundation of his home or sold it to a paving company for use in making a hard roadbed.
Bottom line is that the LAW behind the stone was always there, and was consistent in it's operation and yet man by the power of his mind could have turned the LAW into his own channels and converted it to his use. He could have made a slave of this universal law instead of allowing it to master him, and become his tyrant. In this way we as men has mastered the forces of gravity, steam, hydraulics, and electricity...which once mastered us....

The Law of Financial Success

The law of financial success. To some this title may seem presumptuous, and indicate an overwhelming vanity on my part, as if I maybe wanted to impress upon the world the belief that my ideas and opinions on the subject of Financial Success are such a transcendent value that they are worthy of the title of The LAW.
I have no such conceit. and am not attempting to frame a law; nor am I seeking to impose on the world a set code of conduct, born from my limited mind, and claiming it to have the authority of a LAW. Actually such shows of folly on the part of the "thinkers" of our times make me smile, and I wish to be excused from any suspicion of such a childish desire or intent.
I am not posing as the formulator, discoverer, or creator of some new Law. I know that any Law , to to really be a Law, has to rest on the eternal foundations of Reality. and can't be created, made , or formed by the finite mind of man. So I am submitting yo you my readers that the Great universal Law that I am putting up for consideration is not my mental offspring, but a great universal Law of life.
It is in fact an integral part of the ONE GREAT LAW which underlies all life, and it fits in with all of the other natural laws which controls all life.
So you may ask , "is there really a fundamental Law that underlies what we call Financial Success? Is there a LAW which if once discovered, understood, and practiced, will enable one to accomplish that which this great modern world is so strenuously striving, toiling and desiring? Is there a LAW, which, when operated will make you the master of Financial Success, instead of a mere blind groper after it's fruits? Is financial success indeed the result of the operation of a LAW instead of the operation of mere luck, chance, or accident?
Indeed all that you seek comes only from the application and operation of a great LAW, which the successful men and women of the world make use of either consciously or unconsciously. And this great LAW is as well defined as any other natural law, and when grasped and understood may be practiced and operated just as may any of its related Laws on other planes of universal activity.
