I Advice - Man, the Microcosm; Part 7
It’s late Friday afternoon and everyone is packaging up to go home for the weekend except Janette. Her desk is still piled high with all those important assignments. Why does Janette still have work when no one else does? She just can't let go. Others have a life, but she's too busy ensuring her importance to the company and working late. If she has her finger in every piece of the pie it will make her more important? The reality is that she does not impress anyone. Others may question her ability to perform (she always has work to do and has to stay light to do it.) The favorable portrait she hopes to paint may actually be a negative one. What can Janette do? She can set boundaries. Pick the assignments she can accomplish and do well. She should delegate the rest.Renee has just been promoted; she is taking the workload for three people while her team has nothing to do. She is overcome with the need to validate her recent promotion. It’s important to her to show the boss just how well placed his trust was in her by giving her the promotion. The reality is that her boss may reconsider just why he placed his faith in her. He didn't promote her to become a workhorse but rather to lead a team of successful productive team members.What can Renee do? She can start by evaluating the workload. Does she really need to handle each and every piece of paper? It’s imperative that she regroup and let go of some of the tasks she has assigned herself. She will be validated in her boss’s eyes with happy and productive employees who work together for a common goal. She needs to lead and delegate responsibilities to ensure the team’s success.Wendy is the new kid on the block. She is a whirlwind of activity. She's sure she is on the fast track and accepts any and all assignments that come her way (whether she can accomplish it or not). Wendy equates looking busy with productivity. She is also a little full of herself and believes she can
Swapna, the "dream-state," is our subconsciousness. It is the storehouse of unprocessed impulses that we create and record in the waking state, such as our phobias. Our instincts have their source here too. The subconsciousness is also the channel for psychic contact with other intelligences--disembodied and embodied. Impulses of this "Id," as Freud calls it, often emerge in the form of dreams when the waking consciousness is quiescent. Sometimes it erupts in the waking consciousness, and thus we have the interes
1. What is the one thing that every article writer and marketer must do?Get started and then be consistent. Marketing or syndicating and distributing your articles is an 'advertising' function (in addition to good old fashion grass roots marketing and brand building). Because it's an advertising function, it is an activity that you want to invest in on a monthly basis all year round.You don't advertise your business once and you shouldn't engage in article marketing only once. Give it at least 90 days to 6 months to prove to yourself that writing and marketing with articles can pay dividends in terms of its ability to generate qualified visitors & traffic back to your website.2. What is the one thing that every article writer and marketer must avoid?Article writers should avoid the very basic sins of not doing spell and grammar check or failing to review sentence structure and punctuation.Article marketers must avoid being spammy with their article writing and syndication strategies. This can be avoided with two simple rules:1) Always give value in the article body and you get to sell yourself in the resource box (never the other way around); and2) Always read the posted editorial guidelines to respect the publishers rules for the type of content that they accept. You'll be saving yourself a lot of time and will find an easier path to a higher acceptance of your article content.I know you only asked for one thing they should avoid, but another that is just as important is to avoid PLR (private label rights) articles. Article marketers want to avoid buying into those crazy article re-writers that churn PLR content into Frankenstein articles that make you look foolish, not to mention may carry legal penalties for infringement. If you want to find short-cuts, look for ways to keep your integrity in tact by improving your article writing efficiency or by hiring a team
Now we will discuss the interesting subject of consciousness. Consciousness can be considered as a stream of energy limited in its awareness in the lower planes because of the sheaths that it occupies. This limitation causes an illusory, dualistic sense of fragmentation--of separation from the other elements of the Omniverse. This thread of Ariadne, or the stream of consciousness, is never disconnected or severed as the waking consciousness would have us believe. It is in reality a continuum. There is only one divine consciousness functioning at various levels. These levels are:
1) Waking Consciousness--both the objective and subjective aspect
2) Subconsciousness
3) Superconsciousness or Christ Consciousness
4) Cosmic Consciousness
In Hindu philosophy they correspond to:
1) Jagrat
2) Swapna
3) Sushupti
4) Turiya
The first two classifications are the consciousness levels of the Personality; superconsciousness is the state of awareness of the Ego. Turiya is the consciousness-state of the Monad--Buddhism call it Adi Buddha or Alaya Vijnana. Sushupti is the Christ-state that we are immediately concerned with. We are all striving to acquire this state by spiritual living. It is the intermediate state prior to the attainment of Cosmic Consciousness. Sushupti is the "dreamless state," the Christ Consciousness that we are told to form within us by St. Paul:
"My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you . . . " (Ga 4:19)
To possess Egoic Consciousness is to dwell in the secret place of the Most High. This secret place is Munsalvaesche, or Mt. Salvation in the Grail Mysteries. Initiates of the Huna teachings of Hawaii, the "Kahunas," refer to superconsciousness as, "Aumakua." Expansion of the consciousness causes a parallel development in the brain, its structure changes to conform to the quality of the operating consciousness.

Adapted with permission from Harvard Business School Press from Your Leadership Legacy - Why Looking Towards the Future will Make you a Better Leader Today by Robert M. Galford and Regina Fazio Maruca. Copyright 2006 Robert M. Galford and Regina Fazio Maruca. All Rights Reserved.Your leadership style is influenced, in part, by the natural role you tend to play. Perhaps you're a mentor-type, a great talent-spotter, or a serial entrepreneur. Whatever your style, throughout your career you've probably heard that you have a reputation for demonstrating certain qualities.If someone pointed your style out to you, there'd likely be a flash of recognition. Chances are, however, unless you've asked, no one is spelling it out for you. This means that it's up to you to stop and think about what your natural leadership style actually is. Leaders who take the time to truly understand their natural roles and how those roles affect those around them have an advantage over those who don't take this inward-looking journey.Finding your RoleOnce you've identified the role or roles that you believe you most naturally fill, it's useful to test them by looking for objective supporting evidence. Start by listing a few of the ways your chosen role might manifest itself at work. Are these actions that you come by naturally? If so, great. If not, ask yourself why not. What is limiting your ability to fill the kinds of roles you would like to fill? It's possible that your selections are slightly off course. If there is no marketplace demand, it is possible that the role you'd like to play isn't aligned with your abilities. In that case, you need to reexamine the range of roles you identify with and assess whether your aspirations are clouding your perceptions of your strengths and weaknesses.Is it the Right Role for You?At t

1. Plan the activities (Recommend at least 6 months prior to the wedding date).Always have your big day in mind and how you would like it to be. You will need to come up with a schedule of all the activities that are going to take place on your big day. From there you will need to decide how much time to give yourself to arrange for all those activities to take place on your big day. For a list of standard activities you can find them on any wedding planner websites. As I am Singaporean, a very useful site is at Singaporean brides.2. Seek advice from married couples.When you seek help from those who have been through the wedding day, they can really give you very valuable insight and help you save on time, cost and avoid trouble.3. Plan your wedding budget.This is the most tricky part of the preparation as you can burst your budget very easily if you do not keep a close tap or be very ambitious and want to throw a once in a life time grand million dollar wedding. It can strained your relationship with your fianc? if both of you have different ideas on the activities of your wedding. It is a good to be honest with your fianc? about your net worth and how much you can afford based on your take home income from the start.

All of us, the authors, know that to enhance our sites' listings in search engines we need to do certain things and some of them are :(a) get fresh content on our sites on regular basis (b) get backlinks from high PR (page-rank) sitesGet Fresh Content:Inserting RSS Feeds on related subjects is a great way to create automatic fresh content in a website. However, we can also put our own published articles in a section, say, 'My Articles'. Many authors aim to write at least one article every week. So, every week whenever search engine robots come to our sites, they can get fresh content.Get Back-links:Back-links are considered an important factor in search engine placements. When we submit our articles in article directories, we get a link back from those sites. Mostly all article directories have good PR (page rank). The benefit of submitting articles in article directories is that not only is there a fair chance of getting our articles published, but also our articles get published in many other web sites with our resource boxes. So, when different sites link to our site from a related page (the page where our articles are published), there are chances that search engines would look at our sites respectfully and rank us well. So, submitting articles to article directories is a good choice. We get link back from a page, which talks about related subjects.Actually, upto this part, I have not talked about anything special. Authors write free articles knowing these features.But, how many of our articles are positioned high in the search engines? If not, what could be the reason?Outbound Links:The another important factor of ranking high in search engines is 'Outbound Links'. Search engines consider this factor equally important as back-links. As back-links from related sites are important, outbound links to re
Swapna, the "dream-state," is our subconsciousness. It is the storehouse of unprocessed impulses that we create and record in the waking state, such as our phobias. Our instincts have their source here too. The subconsciousness is also the channel for psychic contact with other intelligences--disembodied and embodied. Impulses of this "Id," as Freud calls it, often emerge in the form of dreams when the waking consciousness is quiescent. Sometimes it erupts in the waking consciousness, and thus we have the interesting phenomenon of hallucinations, which may occur through the auditory or visual faculty. The subconsciousness runs our involuntary functions such as the pulsations of the heart, the peristaltic movement of the bowels, and the pumping of the lungs. The Swapna-state is very receptive to suggestion. It carries-out commands given to it by the waking mind without question--that is, to a certain degree. Hypnotism is a practice that reaches the subconsciousness by bypassing the awareness of the waking consciousness.
Our waking consciousness is dual in nature: it is objective, and it is subjective. Objective consciousness is the result of external stimuli, the perception of vibrations emanating from the world around us. Our subjective consciousness is related to psychic processes occurring inside the psyche and are within voluntary control, such as reasoning, visualization, and imagination. Here inside the subjective consciousness lies most of the tools of Transcendental Magic. Quantum physics is beginning to realize the principle that consciousness affects that which it observes. This is evident in the atomic level. Occultists have long known of this law and have applied it in the art of transmutation.
Mantras are useful tools in producing an altered state of consciousness. Every initiatic tradition employs its use to further Man's spiritual unfoldment. It is interesting to note that strong emotions such as fear causes an abrupt change and orientation of one's consciousness state. For instance, when a person is in a state of fear or shock, he often faints. the consciousness shifts from Jagrat to Swapna. This occurs similarly, although in reverse, when one experiences fright in the dream state. One is often jolted back into waking consciousness. Between the various levels of consciousness are what we call the borderline state. We are most familiar with the borderline between Jagrat and Swapna. In this state, psychic manifestations occur more readily. Psychology calls the interesting images seen in this consciousness-level "hypnogogic." What really occurs in this state is the thinning of certain etheric webs which facilitates the entrance of impulses and vibrations emanating from the etheric and astral planes.
The brain of man produces waves of electromagnetic energies, and these are recorded in EEG machines. Four primary types of brain waves are recognized and they represent his state of consciousness. These waves are called Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta.
