Musings
Sometimes I enjoy being contrary. This feeling comes upon me most strongly when
I am in the presence of a person who is too gullible. It is not to hurt that
person, nor even to cause discomfort, but rather to help him or her to reason
from a practical viewpoint.
A friend from years ago was of this bent. If she trusted a person, she accepted
anything that that person said as gospel truth. In the middle of a discussion of
metaphysical matters (well, at least I was discussing) I saw that she was just
taking my statements at face value. There was no questioning, no challenging of
my words. I suddenly stopped in mid-sentence, and said "(her name)I don't have
the slightest idea whether what I am telling you is true or not." I was not
prepared for the total collapse that occurred. She said, "I trusted you. If you
don't know if your statements are true, how can I ever trust you again?" She was
devastated. It was as if the underpinnings of her support had disappeared. She
was finding her strength in other people, and not developing her own inner
resources.
The danger for people who have been in a long-standing habit of relying upon the
judgment of someone else is that they are lost when that support is missing.
They do not generally become skeptical. They usually become cynical, trusting
nothing and no one. Cynics are the opposite side of the same coin as the
gullible person. They still lack discernment.
I love skeptics. In fact I prefer to think that I am a skeptic. A skeptic will
challenge and reason and bring counter arguments, which makes for a lively
discussion. A skeptic can be persuaded with proof. He or she may leave the
discussion still skeptical, but seeds may have been planted. I will also admit
that once or twice in my life even I have been in error, and a skeptic has
helped me to see the folly of my ways.

Happenings and Events
Would you like a means to connect with other people who are experiencing the
same type of day as you are having?
There are 9 personal year cycles. Each person is born into one of these cycles
and continues in that cycle for life. Generally people in the same cycle
experience similar events at the same time, and often become friends. For some
time I have thought that it could be interesting to find a way to bring people
of the same cycle together. It would have to be a voluntary means, easily
accessible and available for those who wished to remain anonymous. It seems to
me that an ideal point of contact would be a password protected discussion
board.
What I would propose is 9 separate password protected Discussion Boards on the
Life Path site, one for each personal year. The password could be distributed
through the Daily Numeroscopes with a link directly to the appropriate Board.
That way you could immediately vent your frustrations to others who understand,
you could criticize or praise the numeroscope, or maybe even gain additional
insight as to how others are dealing with the day. You could do this
anonymously, or if you wanted to make private contact you could disclose your
contact information. The choice would be yours.
I would be willing to put in the effort to set up this system if there is any
interest. I think that it would be fun to connect with my fellow 4 personal year
compadres. What do you think? Please respond as quickly as you can give the idea
some thought. Please give me a yes or no vote. If you like the idea, how would
you set it up?

A Bit of Philosophy
Herein, also, lies the advantage connected with travel and change of scene.
Under these circumstances nearly every one submits himself to the suggestions of
his surroundings and allows his mind to follow them without any effort at
control. Removal from the old familiar environment into scenes of an entirely
different character gives new suggestions which substitute new lines of thinking
in place of the former habitual ones, and these changed mental conditions bring
fresh stimulus to the physical system. It is change of thinking which causes the
beneficial result, not change of air.
From Right and Wrong Thinking, by Aaron Martin Crane. Boston; Lothrop. Lee &
Shepard Co., 1905

If you have not yet tried the Daily Numeroscopes you are missing out on a great
tool for planning your day. Some people say that they prefer to just take life
as it comes to them. These are the same people who would not look at a map when
planning a trip. Life is a journey. Know where you are headed.
You can try Daily Numeroscopes for free. You know you want to
try them. What are you waiting for?

Featured Article by Daniel R. Hardt
I am not doing an article this week, but am sending what was completed. I just
cannot. I received a call from my sister-in-law last night that my brother died
of a heart attack yesterday. There was no indication of any problem. He went
suddenly and unexpectedly at home.
