    Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.

7,999 Volunteers Needed to Give Thanks!!

By Belton Lubas On November 26, 2008 Under Element5Fitness, Mindset, Success, Wellness, fitness

Hey all,

What a weekend!  I can’t go into words as the weekend rolls into this week of “Thanks”.  But I learned something cool this weekend.  I know I can make a difference.  I can make a difference with “Thanks” and “Giving”.  Two powerful words that can go a long way.  I also learned about the Maharishi Effect! 

“The basis of the Maharishi Effect is the rise of collective consciousness. Collective consciousness is the wholeness of consciousness of any specific group.”    

What does that mean?  Well they did studies of groups of people who in like mindedness rise to the occasion of self awareness as a group and measured the effects it had on societies so-called “problems”.  There were decreases in crime, increases in the stock market, decreases in accidents, etc…

Here are some cool examples when using Box-Jenkins time series impact assessment analysis of predicted threshold:

- Manila, Philippines homicide rate decreased 2% in 1984.

- Decrease in crime rate, traffic fatality rate, and unemployment rate in the state of Iowa.

- City of Jerusalem influenced, then Israel, then neighbouring country Lebanon

- Positive effects on international conflict as proven with the Former Soviet Union and the U.S.

- Global effects as studied in 1983 on impact of global wars.

 

So you see, what I learned this weekend is that the Earth’s billions of people can be affected by a critical mass.  The magic number is the square root of 1% of the given population.  Well, that would be about 8,000 people.  I will start with myself and ask you to join me in giving thanks. 

As part of my self awareness I want to say THANK YOU.  I give thanks to all those who have allowed me to help them.  I give thanks to those that allowed me and my company Element 5 Fitness, enable them to reach their fitness goals.  I give thanks to my family and my loved ones.  I give thanks to God, for others (Higher Source, The Universe, etc…).  Can you please join me and comment your thanks so as to increase our awareness to help our nation, the economy, the wars, the deaths, the hunger?  After all it is ThanksGiving is it not?  I am thankful, are you?

 

Committed to your success,

Belton Lubas and Rommel Acda

I’m a true believer in the power of positive thought so I’m happy to be #2 in giving thanks for all the blessings in this world that have both reached me and that are not yet within my grasp. I’m thankful for my health, my relationships, my home, my strength, my pride – and especially my freedoms. This nation is great and together, we can do great things. But it starts with one and then builds from there. Thanks to Belton and Rommel for giving us this space and their time to share these thoughts, feelings, and counsel. I am truly thankful.

My warmest Thanksgiving wishes to you all.

Thank you Belton for the reminder of the value of gratitude and appreciation, both expressing them and nurturing them.
It is likely we are more powerful than we can imagine. As a collective group the possibilities are limitless.
It takes mindfulness and effort to fill up the optomistic side of the equation but the effort is worthy. The only way to reach critical mass is for each one of us to add our little component.
Thank you for adding your part; it spurred me into adding mine.

I like the new look of your blog. :)
Thanks Giving is a great holiday to remember what is important in life. I think I will “import” it for next year.
I hope to see you at xmas time in Portland! Want to go see Beth with me?
Salut,
Kaisa
