How are we going to change the world together?
By Sharing the Unique Gifts & Talents each of us was born with. The Web of Life is made of Webs of Relationships, weaved though Sharing & Service of our best Self, our SPARKS of Genius.
By anchoring with the Environment in interdependent relationships of Mutual Support, the Spider’s web has the Strength to Support the Spider’s weight.
These strings of webs come from within the Spider & is a part of the Spider’s core Essence. The Support is built by the hardwork of the Spider, Extending & Expressing its Essence with Love, & Engaging the Universe with a Passion for Life.
This Act of Love & Light is a Purposeful one. One that can only be achieved with Presence in each moment & a deep sense of Possibilities.

Shifting Your Labels
“Crazy people who are productive are geniuses. Crazy people who are rich are eccentric. Crazy people who are neither productive nor rich are just plain crazy. Geniuses and crazy people are both out in the middle of a deep ocean; geniuses swim, crazy people drown. Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet.”
The following list was published in Handbook of Cognitive Therapy Techniques, by Rian McMullin. Please use it to shift your labels to the RIGHT one if you must label anything at all

| isn’t good at a game | stupid, inferior | hasn’t practiced |
| isn’t orderly | sloppy, piggish | spontaneous, carefree |
| pleases others | social phobic | likable |
| believes what others say | gullible | trusting |
| loves another strongly | dependent | loving |
| gets anxious | weak, cowardly | learned to, was taught |
| is nontraditional | malcontent, heretical, immoral | independent, uninhibited, free |

Balance
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.
They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
The Secret of Happiness: A Reflective Exercise by Anthony DeMello
Recall the kind of feeling you have when someone praises you, when you are approved, accepted, applauded. And contrast that with the kind of feeling that arises within you when you look at the sunset or a sunrise, or Nature in general or when you read a book or watch a movie that you thoroughly enjoy. Get a taste of this feeling and contrast it with the first, namely, the one that was generated within you when you were praised.
Understand that the first type of feeling comes from self-glorification, self-promotion. It is a worldly feeling. The second comes from self-fulfillment. It is a soul feeling. Here is another contrast: Recall the kind of feeling you have when you succeed, when you have made it, when you get to the top, when you win a game or bet or argument. And contrast it with the kind of feeling you get when you really enjoy the job you are doing, you are absorbed in, the action you are currently engaged in. And once again notice the qualitative difference between the worldly feeling and the soul feeling.
Yet another contrast: Remember what you felt like when you had power, you were the boss, people looked up to you, took orders from you; or when you were popular. And contrast that worldly feeling with the feeling of intimacy, companionship – the times you thoroughly enjoyed yourself in the company of a friend or with a group in which there was fun and laughter. Having done this, attempt to understand the true nature of worldly feelings, namely, the feelings of self-promotion, self-glorification. They are not natural, they were invented by your society to make you productive and to make you controllable. These feelings do not produce the nourishment and happiness that is produced when one contemplates Nature or enjoys the company of one’s friends or one’s work. They were meant to produce thrills, excitement and emptiness.
Then observe yourself over the course of a day or a week and think how many actions of yours are performed, how many activities engaged in that are uncontaminated by the desires for these thrills, these excitements that only produce emptiness, the desire for attention, approval, fame, popularity, success or power. And take a look at the people around you. Is there a single one of them who has not become addicted to these worldly feelings? A single one who is not controlled by them, hungers for them, spends every minute of his/her waking life consciously or unconsciously seeking them? When you see this you will understand how people attempt to gain the world and, in the process, lose their soul.
And here is a parable of life for you to ponder on: A group of tourists sit in a bus that is passing through gorgeously beautiful country; lakes and mountains and green fields and rivers. But the shades of the bus are pulled down. They do not have the slightest idea of what lies beyond the windows of the bus. And all the time of their journey is spent in squabbling over who will have the seat of honor in the bus, who will be applauded, who will be well considered. And so they remain till the journey’s end.
The Secret of Success: The Shortest Summary
The Secret of Success is Simply to Share your SPARKS of Genius with Society.
Answering this Question can shed some light on how you might wish to do so:
“What is the purpose of money in my life?”
The Twelve Gateways to Personal Growth
1 – Discover Your Worth: “No matter how intelligent, attractive or talented you may be — to the degree that you doubt your worthiness you tend to sabotage your efforts and undermine your relationships.” You open up to abundant life only to the extent you believe you deserve it. How good can you stand it today?
2 – Reclaim Your Will: “Until you reclaim your will — assert your power to act upon what you know — even the best plans remain unrealized.” Self-respect comes from doing what needs to be done, whether or not you are in the mood. Can you turn knowledge into action?
3 – Energize Your Body: “If you lack vitality, nothing else really matters; if you have your health, anything is possible.” The only thing you are sure to keep for a lifetime is your body. How might you take better care of your body?
4 – Manage Your Money: “By clarifying your goals and using your gifts, you can make good money, doing what you enjoy while serving the highest calling of your soul.” Money is neither god nor devil, but a form of energy and a practical necessity. Have you achieved financial stability?
5 – Tame Your Mind: “The world is…a reflection of your mind. As your mind clears, you perceive reality simply as it is.” You see the world through filters of belief, opinion and interpretation. How do your beliefs shape your experience?
6 – Trust Your Intuition: “Your subconscious holds keys to a treasure house of intuitive wisdom, clear sight and untapped power.” There are hidden ways of knowing about and responding to the world. Have you accessed your inner guidance system?
7 – Accept Your Emotions: “Accept emotions completely, let your feelings be; just don’t let them run your life.” Feelings are natural; you need not fix them, but transcend them. Have you made peace with your emotions?
8 – Face Your Fears: “courage is not in the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.” Everyday courage is not a feeling but an action. Have you made fear your servant and guide, or let it become your master?
9 – Illuminate Your Shadow: “Releasing energy once bound in defense of self-image, you find energy, understanding, humility and compassion.” Self-knowledge generates authenticity, energy and compassion. Do you truly know yourself, or only your self-image?
10 – Embrace Your Sexuality: “Life is not a matter of indulging or denying the energies of life, but observing, accepting, and wisely channeling them.” Making love can be a spiritual practice and a celebration of life. Have you realized your potential for intimacy and joy?
11 – Awaken Your Heart: “Love endures not from words or feelings alone, but from actions that carry you beyond the interests of separate self, beyond reason or motive, to embrace all people, things and circumstances.” Love is an action that opens the gateways to everyday enlightenment. Can you act with love without reason?
12 – Serve Your World: “Service is both a means and an end, for in giving to others, you open yourself to love, abundance, and inner peace.” The final gateway brings meaning to life. How might you make a positive difference for someone today?
