Grocery Savings Made Easy
For many people, making the decision to switch from two incomes to one can be a scary experience. They know they're spending too much, but don't know where to begin to cut back.Most people don't think they can live the frugal life and still be comfortable. I feed my family of 5 on $175 month. In 5 years my husband earned an average of $22,000 per year. In those 5 years we paid off $20,000 debt. There are countless ways you can cut, but if you are a frugal beginner, try these simple suggestions for saving on your food bill first.Before you shop, take a tour through your pantry and your refrigerator. Be organized! Don't buy what's already hiding in your kitchen.If you a fan of coupons, remember this: It's not what you save, it's what you spend. If you save 30 cents on something you wouldn't ordinarily buy anyway, you haven't really saved anything.A typical fruit item is significantly larger than one serving. Most people would be just as happy eating a small apple as eating a large one -- so buy smaller fruits!This month, try two meatless meals a week (or one, if you're a diehard meat fan). Use meat as an ingredient instead of a main dish. A good recipe for this is Green Chile. It uses only 1/2-1 pound of pork.Cut back on the juice and milk. Use the money you've saved from eating less meat and drinking less juice and buy something that's on sale. Those sale items will help you cut back even further next month.In staying at home, it's the little things that add up so start small!Green Chile1/2-1 lb. pork roast, or chops cubed into small pieces 10 1/2 oz. chicken broth 1 onion, finely chopped 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1 can (7 oz.) green chiles, diced 1/4 jalapeno, finely chopped 1 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. flour, dissolved in

You say that your message is not about "self help." I think of self-help as people writing or talking about a topic they know well and me learning. I take from books and lectures the "pearls of wisdom" that resonate for me. What is your definition of self-help? Isn't your goal to help people and corporations to look inward in order to better express themselves in the world?

Yes, I guess you are right. But the self-help industry is so filled with people who learned to be a yoga teacher last week and wrote a book this week. Our industry is the most unregulated, dangerous, self-proclaiming, money-spinning messing-with-people industry on earth. You need a license to give someone a massage. But you can mess with people’s hearts, minds and spirit if you just say “Oh, I am a native blood, therefore I have wisdom” or “I am Chinese therefore I am Tao” or “I am completely disconnected from reality, therefore I can sell books on angels.” You must see this yourself -- there are as many good results from self-help as bad… I think self-help leads to self-obsession, and self-obsession is about being loved, being lovable, being good, being happy. And the truth is none of those things ever made one human being happy. Helping others, loving others, loving beauty, appreciating people, this makes us happy because in doing that we forget our “self.” My favorite quote says to effect that self-help doesn’t work. It can’t, because the ultimate end is to discover there is no self, and therefore nothing needs help.

I love your statement that "people become as you treat them, and what you appreciate grows." One of the reasons awareness resonates so strongly for me is that I've found you can't appreciate what you don't notice! Does this idea fit in with what you meant?

I’ve noticed, that if I don’t notice what is noticeable, then I get put on notice that my notice is not enticing. This is a very strong observation that you make. One that I think we can all learn from.

The forth Law of Nature is appreciation. So, I fill my head and heart with appreciation. Now, the complexity is that sometimes stuff happens and you don’t appreciate it, instead you want to run away from it, or fix it. But bloody hell, how far can you run? You can run all the way to Nepal, and still find the things that were annoying you in Sydney, or New York or in a commune, or in an ashram in India. Annoyance about things we don’t appreciate follows us.

When we talk about personal growth, most people measure this personal growth in how happy, wealthy, healthy, smart, or in control they are. This is not how nature measures growth. Nature measures g

The FIRST FAMILY of the United States
The Randolphs:Peyton Randolph was the first President of the United States and he is a nobleman. I know he is closely connected with the Hapsburgs who lived near the Randolphs and later the Duponts. At the time of Lincoln Paschal Beverly Randolph was a member of the Rosicrucian Council of Three which included Abraham Lincoln. Through this unholy Holy Alliance between secretive parties in England, America and the Church we have the genesis of the New World Order which was in point of fact not really new at all. It was a further empowerment of the nobility or Divine Kings and Popes even though it appeared nations were ‘for the people, by the people’ in the media (including the pulpits and educational rostrums) that these noble or Merovingian BEES owned. It amuses me greatly to see the sort of academic scholarship that can deny these facts which I am absolutely certain about. Paschal Beverly Randolph was the person who became the leading occultist of this family in America and he is part of a ghastly lineage through occult ritual practices which include soul-grabbing the likes of Crowley and Levi. He proudly states his connection of this sort with Eliphas Levi (AKA Abb? Constant) in his own words so it takes no great research or intuition to prove the point.When the famous Rights of Man pamphlet written by secret agent Thomas Paine in England was being printed in America we had another Randolph who got involved. Here is his letter recollecting the issue, written the day before the July fourth holiday in 1791, from the Jeffersonian archives that I hope you enjoy.“The President is not yet arrived, but we expect him the day after tomorrow. He has probably protracted his journey so as to avoid the ceremonies of to-morrow. We expect daily to hear the events of the expedition under General Scott into the Indian

You describe yourself as an “ordinary Aussie bloke.” Did your upbringing in "the bush" contribute to your receptivity to The Laws of Nature?

When I say ordinary Aussie bloke, I mean that we Australian men seem able to laugh at ourselves. We don’t take things too seriously unless it’s about protecting our home or a mate in trouble. It’s the Aussie spirit. It’s unique in its light-hearted goodness. My upbringing in the bush was very much about trust. My step mum beat the crap out of me daily, the kids at school thought I was a weirdo (I moved to the bush from a little green, friendly and isolated country town in Tasmania that no one had ever heard of in this tough and rough bush environment). Poor old Dad was busting his chops working to try to overcome his grief from my mother’s death (I was two and a half years old and was beside her in a car when she died.)

Living amongst this kind of chaos, a kid searches for their own source of comfort and love (the Laws of Nature say that nothing is missing in life). I found comfort and love by the riverbank, playing in the bush, hanging out with Aboriginal kids that no other white person trusted. It was here that I learned not to trust words, just people. So, Nature was Mum for me. I felt her spirit in trees and rivers and branches and food that came from the earth. I felt her spirit in the wind and in the hot sun, her warm heart. This was how I learned to love. I learned to love by loving the earth

At what point in your life did you become aware of The Laws of Nature? Was it a process or more of a single moment of clarity you had upon reading about them?

I went through a hell of my own in the midst of a divorce. My three beautiful children sailed off on a yacht with their Mum and her new love. I really went down the tubes after that. I did therapy and Zen and yoga and more Zen and danced with Native American people all over the place. But ten minutes after I did any healing, the pains would come back. Something would remind me of my children and bingo, there I was, angry, sad and resentful.

I trekked in Nepal and many parts of the world alone, trying to find my own heart. I lost it, and the soul that feeds it, or so I thought, so I just went back to nature, to Mum, to be nurtured. One day I was looking at the sunrise. The moon was also in the sky. On this beautiful morning I got lost in thought. I drifted to the place where I was when the kids were born. When I watched them hatch into this world I just felt a miracle happen in me. So, sitting on the beach, I was back in that energy. I was so filled with tears and so happy. I looked at the moon and I realized I was in the same universe as my kids, in the same atmosphere as my kids, in the same realm of love with them. We were connected, inseparable and suddenly I was home again! I jumped up and started to dance like a mad man, I could see there was nothing to heal. All the healing had failed because there was nothing to heal. For the first time, I knew the formula for love. I had always mixed up my expectations of doing something good -- being a good father, providing, nurturing and caring – with love. Love is what nature does. She doesn’t care if you are here or gone, she loves. And there it was, the breakthrough. I separated emotion, expectation, philosophy, religion, beliefs and all that mumbo jumbo of complexity from real love.

Then I went back over all my studies of religion, the mysteries, metaphysics and poetry, and I just asked myself: “what’s behind these?” That’s when I became aware that behind every single expectation, emotion, philosophy and religion are five undisputable and universal Laws of Nature. They’re universal because from the smallest molecular structure to the widest galaxy these laws exist. And I found these laws written in ancient texts. And now it’s my job to bring them to others.

What is it about you that makes you an ideal messenger for The Laws of Nature? What personal strengths help with the delivery of your message?

None. Really. It’s totally not about the messenger…but there is one thing that makes me a little different from the average person selling love potions, and self-help blab, blab, blab. I don’t care about my approval rating. I say it as it is. The Howard Stern of the spiritual world. As an Aussie bloke I tell it as it is. I don’t mind a good fight, and I am not interested in shoving the message down people’s throat. I guess I am a good messenger for a message that says “BE REAL,” but a million other people could do it, if they had the conviction and the certainty.

Can you describe a Law of Nature?

The first Law of Nature is balance. It says: positive thinking people are negative thinking people. There can’t be an upper without a downer. Positive thinking must be met with balance. We tend to look at life really selfishly, like “what is right for me?” I agree that positive is best for me, but I can’t then condemn all the negativity in my lover, or my business partner, and run around saying, “Oooh you are so negative.” No, I can say “Welcome to my world and have a beautiful day – thank you for expressing what I am repressing. Thank you for carrying the negativity that frees me to express my positivity.” You know 50 % of the world is yin, and 50% is yang. You go yang, someone goes yin. Simple isn’t it?

There are two sides to everything and everyone. We are all sinners and angels and worthy of love for it. We can’t change, we can only put a mask on and why do that? People become as you treat them, so I suggest that my students always look for both sides of everything and don’t get self indulgent and deluded by believing half-truths. For loving and good life, balance the positive and the negative firmly, then focus on the positive.

On your Web site you say that you can't change yourself or another person, you can only help someone appreciate who they really are, and help them to express their authenticity in the healthiest way and to make choices that support "their way." Is this a Law of Nature?

No, this is a consequence of a Law of Nature. Laws of Nature do not dictate how people should and shouldn’t act. That’s the realm of religion and psychology. I call that mumbo jumbo mainly because I find it all so complex, opinionated and diverse in its translation. I am not a psychologist or a philosopher. With my mind I’d go mad trying to sort out right from wrong! No the Laws of Nature do not prescribe behavior. They do, however, set down principles from which we can see what is causing us to go loopy -- they reveal the emotion and myths that run our lives.

There is nothing missing in our lives. We are everything we want to be. It’s just that sometimes what we’ve got and what we want are in conflict because we got our wealth in love and we want it in money. Now, what we don’t appreciate we lose, so a person who is really wealthy in love, walking around wanting to change their life is fine, but if they are saying, “oooh I am so poor,” but they are really very abundant in love wealth (nothing is ever missing, just changes in form) then they may also lose their love life. See, it’s a matter of contentment. If we can say “thank you” for what we have, we get what we want. The form can change, not the content. We can change love dollars for Australian dollars, or our health Yen for Japanese Yen. Easy.

Can you briefly describe the 5 great keys to lifelong happiness?

This is how we all think. We think if I know the 5 Laws of Nature, I will have lifelong happiness. But that is absolutely mumbo jumbo…. Life long happiness is a marketing campaign proposed by people like myself, the Buddhists and most new age gurus to sell books, get audiences and win a good bank balance. But there is really nothing that can cause life long happiness. Life is not about being happy all life long, but we don’t know this. So we buy the books, believe the marketing, go to the workshops, join the religions, and in most cases, judge the people who cause us discomfort.

Really, this is where the buck must stop, with people like me. The Laws of Nature, on the other hand, argue that:

You are going to have an equal balance of happy times and sad times

If you don’t appreciate the sad times, they get worse

Evolution happens at the border of happy and sad

We never find the balance between these two, we cycle like a drunk staggering down the street from one side to the other

The person who is looking for all peace, all happiness, all goodness in their relationship or work life is a fool. They are drunker than the rest of us. That person will stagger between extremes. They’ll be more emotionally shocked when their hard-won peace and tranquility gets disturbed by reality.

The Laws of Nature simply reveal the lies that marketers promote, and the delusion that people try to manifest in their lives -- that there can’t be any existence in any walk of life without challenge and discomfort.

That’s humility. Staying thankful for the small things means you don’t get complacent and think that you are infallible. In a relationship this is even more critical. The time to invest in humble gratitude is when things are going well, not when they are down and out. When things are up, there is the unseen down. You need to be humble to these Laws of Nature then you don’t get shocks.

You say that Happiness come from contentment and contentment comes when you stop trying to be someone else. Was there a time in your life when you found yourself trying to be something you weren't or have you always managed to make good lifestyle choices for yourself?

I still try to be someone else. I am not content all the time. Crikey! don’t put me on the pedestal and say that I can practice all I teach 24/7. No way. I go up and down just as nature has warm days and storm days. But, the big difference is that when I become unhappy or unhealthy I know I have gone against one of the Laws of Nature. Unhappiness for me only comes when I don’t like who I am and I try to fix it, which just make matters worse. If I am unhappy, unlike a lot of people who think they’ve made a bad decision or need to fix themselves, I say the opposite. Instead of therapy or self-help, I believe I am worthy of love for who I am, and the only person who needs to know that is me. Nothing needs to change, only something to appreciate. What you appreciate grows and what grows is happy.

When we talk about personal growth, most people measure this personal growth in how happy, wealthy, healthy, smart, or in control they are. This is not how nature measures growth. Nature measures gr

How to Host a Great Moving Sale
It Pays to Plan AheadLike any part of the moving process, it pays to be prepared well in advance. Don’t start rummaging through your closets and crawlspaces the day before you plan to have the sale – as soon as you know you’re going to move, keep your eye out for items you think you’ll want to get rid of as you go along your daily routine and put these items in a separate box. Before you know it, you’ll have several boxes full of stuff ready to go weeks before your sale even takes place.Don’t be too picky when deciding what to put up for sale, either – people will buy just about anything. After all, as they say, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.However, for larger items such pianos, aquariums and pieces of furniture, you might try selling online through eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji or other similar auction/classifieds sites. People will be more likely to buy these larger items over the web than they will be at your moving sale, where most people are only interested (and capable) of picking up small trinkets and articles of clothing.Getting the Word OutIf you want people to come to your sale, they have to know about it first. Your ads don’t need to be anything fancy – it can be as simple as attaching signs to telephone poles at high-traffic intersections around your community. Just make sure that your signs are big and bright enough to be seen, and construct the sign to prepare for the elements – use cardboard to prevent the sign from blowing away and write in crayon, as opposed to marker, to ensure the lettering doesn’t become illegible if it happens to rain. Remember to drive by your signs to make sure they are visible – because if you can’t read them, nobody else will be able to either.So what sort of information will you want to include in your ad? It’s importan

Workforce Management Systems
Although organizations have much in common with one another, they differ in many ways. Some organizations are large, and some are small. Some operate in one product area, while others operate in many diversified areas. Some operate in a small geographical area, whereas others do business in many countries of the world. That’s where the role of workforce management systems comes into the fore. To cope with these varied objectives, strategies and situations, managers adopt different workforce management systems.Departmentation is the process of dividing the organization into manageable subunits. The subunits are often referred to as departments, divisions or sections. Functional departmentation is the process of dividing the organization into units on the basis of the firm’s major activities. It involves grouping employees according to the broad tasks they perform. Normally, separate departments are created in workforce management systems for all the key activities of the business.If the organization or given department is large, or as the organization grows, major departments can be subdivided. These sub-divisions are called derivative departments. The essential idea is to take advantage of specialization. As organizations are not static, they grow in size either by broadening its product line or by expanding geographically.Further, as the size of the organization increases, some of the disadvantages become more apparent. The organization is forced to look for other systems in tune with the requirements. In such situations, managements will opt for various other types of departments, in focusing on the product or market. One of the most common ways in which businesses grow is by increasing the number of products they make and sell. If the organization is successful, several product lines may attain such high sa

Bad Credit Debt
In today’s world, there are a lot of things that its very difficult to live without. One of them, is credit. Can you imagine trying to save up for a car until you had enough cash to just pay for it outright? Do you think you would be able to pay for college tuition and study at the same time? Who would ever own their own home? A life without access to credit when you need it will be severely limited in any number of ways. Everyone, at some time, will be looking for a loan.If you apply for a loan from a commercial lender, they will do a credit check. It doesn’t matter what form the credit takes, it could be a credit or store card, a mortgage, auto finance or a loan to start up your own business. In all of these situations, whether or not you are approved will depend mainly on your credit score. Applying for a loan is not the only time your credit score will be used. Also if you apply for insurance, to rent or lease a home, or even when applying for a job, in all of these situations, your credit rating will be used.What is your credit score?Your credit score is a rating system used by financial institutions to assess the risk of giving you credit. It will be based on information such as your address, salary, how much debt you currently have, how well you meet your repayments, whether or not you’ve ever been made bankrupt. All of this information will be processed and used to give you a specific score. Lenders will then set their interest rates at higher levels for people with lower scores, and decide on a cut off point, where people with a lower score will be denied credit.You have a right to know the reasons why you have been denied credit. If you have been denied credit because of information in your credit reference, then you can get a free copy of the report. You can also get a free copy of you

Home Based Business
Downline builders are the best way to get a huge downline in a short amount of time.I have used them in the past and got really big downlines fast. There are many downline builders out there, but you need to research them because not all downline builders are created equal. The primary concept of the downline builder is to build a downline before going into a primary income producing program, thus minimizing your initial marketing costs. It is also hoped that this downline, as it is built, will at some point follow you into the income producing program. There are downline builders that you pay and there is downline builders that are free. One good downline builder is GMR downline builder. GMR has a free and paid downline builder program. Another downline builder is the ones you find on forums. I will go into more details of each type of downline builders later. Downline builders are great for newbies and getting downlines for programs that have been around for a while. There seems to be an ever increasing number of "Downline Builders" popping up on the Internet. Likewise there has been also a steady rise in the number of online "Multi-level" marketing programs. And why not! The Internet is an ideal marketing mediumHere is how downline builders work. You sign up for a program and you post your link and someone will sign up under you and that person will post their link and so on.You will have a downline on all levels. This works well in the get paid forum. You will need to be careful of things that are too good to be true such as join 2 programs and get 5 referrals. I have done this one and I joined the 2 programs and only got 1 referral. A downline builder is a resource that is available to all across the globe! It is high performance tool That gives you the opportunity to build strong downlines in both FREE and paid progra

When we talk about personal growth, most people measure this personal growth in how happy, wealthy, healthy, smart, or in control they are. This is not how nature measures growth. Nature measures growth by how much doesn’t annoy you. I know this is really weird language, but sometimes it’s great to put things in the negative.

Growth is not a gravitation toward the positive, it is the development of an appreciation for the negative. You are nature and all that you are is worthy of appreciation. We can’t run from those things we hate, we must learn to appreciate them, not change them.

Your vision is huge! It just feels like it takes such an expanded spirit to hold all those important, world-shifting intentions: to communicate the message of modern well-being, to transform educational systems, to inspire a new global perspective, etc. Can one person really do all these things? How do you keep so many big intentions present in your everyday life?

Frankly, I have no idea. The thing for me is about my intent. Each day I want to wake up and just burst with enthusiasm to get out of bed, do things that motivate me to give to others and be inspired. I am not interested in being depressed, or a victim of the system, or spending my whole precious life complaining that MacDonald’s hamburgers made me fat. I have a gift, if I die with it still inside, I’ll be pissed.
