Dating in the old traditional way can be a good thing
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012
We are living in a world that is moving very fast and as a result our entire life has to adapt with these changes. Vast amounts of information are now readily available on the net which means that we need to filter information more rapidly than ever before. If we don’t keep up with this information highway, we find ourselves lacking in substance and others will quickly lose interest in us. Much of this can also apply to the dates we find in our everyday life.
Dating in the old traditional way can be a good thing
If you don’t create the right impression in the first date, you don’t break a sweat because you know there will be plenty of fish in the sea. Such superficial attention to detail can mean that you will be attracting the wrong types of date. This is where the old traditional way of dating can be a good thing. Let’s think about this for a moment. You are in this wave of constant movement where time is too short and you constantly find yourself moving and you naturally look for the same thing in your date. If he/she cannot keep up with your speed of light thought processes, you are moving on and you leave the date wondering whatever happened. Wrong thing to do!
You need to take a step back and ask yourself that if you did find someone who is equally matched to your lifestyle, will it be a good fit. Most definitely, the match would not work and here are the reasons. Firstly, the person you are dating also has a similar agenda to yourself and this means that you will be in constant loggerheads with each other prying for each others attention. What you need is a person completely polarized to your own lifestyle ie. someone who takes time and ponders about life and makes decisions carefully. You may feel that person is going to weigh you down, but in contrary this person is actually going to help you to regain your normal posture, balance and bring you into a more meditative space in time. This will empower you more in other activities where you need it most.
Learn from the old traditional way of dating where partners complement each other in their qualities and lifestyle rather than finding a true 100% match.

See clearly through the vines - A condition of the mind
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
The mind is such a powerful force that we have yet to grasp a full understanding of its intricacies and operation. We could equate this with the famous Heisenberg theory of the uncertainty principle which generally states that the closer we get to the atomic scale the more difficult it becomes to detect the particle. In essence, the same applies to the mind where no microscopic surgical procedure of the brain can explain some of the wider implications of the mind.

The mind is clearly a vast source of limitless energy where it shapes the personality and being of every individual. Many psychologists have debated the subject of the mind and have come up with words such as the ego, conscious and the subconscious to explain the behavior of men and women. There have been great thinkers of the past such as the Greek philosopher Socrates who questioned the logic of many people’s normal way of thinking in order to shed new light into the moral conduct of men. We can take some lessons from these past heroes and we too can shape our mind and thinking for the better.
One of the first principles that we can take away from the philosophers of our past is to see clearly through the maze of consciousness that sometimes weigh us down. Eckhart Tolle’s book on the ‘Power of Now’ shows that it is at the moment of time that we are at our greatest. To me, that singularly defines the condition of the mind since it is at this point where there is no past or future and everything rests on the ‘Now’. In short, you have the ability to change the course of the future by your mental condition at the moment in time. This is why I feel that many people who wield so much power or influence over us have the uncanny ability to control that very situation in that short instance in time.
We can apply this very kind of thinking when we meet other people, talk to strangers, meet up for a date and so forth. Revelling in the moment you are in opens you to higher creative possibilities and tunes you to a higher frame of thought that will have give you eventual benefits. Next time you are with someone or on a date, think for a second and enjoy the singular moments in time and you will see more ideas flood into your head than ever before. Conversation or any undertaking that you have planned will almost become like a breeze.
