Jesus, because he was the only "perfect" person that has lived on this earth, and he's been the most influential both alive and dead.

Q. What are your top 3 favourite web sites?

I've thought about it a lot... and I've decided that no, I wouldn't. With the knowledge that I would have, I would make changes and my life would turn out differently. Even with this lifetime as a source of memories, and with the fact that I would still be myself, I want to live the way I have, with all of its ups and downs. The most important factor in this decision is my wife... It would be all too easy to change one thing and never meet her again.

Besides, I'm kind of enjoying bumbling around in the dark... It makes the light moments all the brighter.

Q: What do you fear the most?

A: Inner peace.

A: (to the question, would you reset your life, while retaining current knowledge) Hell yeah! Time is one thing we don't get back.

A: I deal with negative thought by accepting why I thought it in the first place and brainstorming different corresponding thoughts through different perspectives until I think of a motivating positive thought that I feel good about.

Q: What do you spend most of your time on, and why?

A: An intimidating question. Indeed. That's maybe my biggest problem. I spend a lot of time sleeping, being lazy and in the comfort zone. Way too much. Why? Because I'm used that way. But that's gonna change, for sure. Right now. In the present moment.

Q: Where will you be and what will you do in november 2016?

A: My core desire(need?) to grow and become a better person. This desire propels me to do things that I wouldn't otherwise do. My goals just give me direction. My desire does the rowing.

One time I was sort of meditating (I say sort of because I never had any training or anything, just what I call meditating). I was laying down and all of a sudden this wave of physical pleasure kind of like tingling came over me, waves through my whole body, a huge smile on my face, my eyes were closed and the darkness in my eyelids turned to a pulsing golden color. It lasted what seemed like a couple of minutes. My thought process at the time was about positivity and the flow of energy in the world and how I can radiate positive energy. The feeling/experience was cut off when a fear of being too positive and how other people would judge me crept in. It was like my heart was opening and it felt great, but then the vulnerability of having an open heart shut it back down. But the feeling of bliss stuck with me for long after.

A:
1) Change your perception, to something other than, "I dislike networking, but I will do it because my job requires it"
2) Change the whole way you network, to something that you enjoy
3) Outsource it to someone that enjoys it
4) Take a step back and ask if your job is really for you, or does it even need networking?

A bit of digging here. Thank you so much for the question. A bit of a challenge to come up with something, but once i broke through the "i dont know", here it is.
-When i am fearless, without a worry or concern in the world and dancing in full expression from the depths of my being. Just flowing in a natural rythm (Have not done that for a looooong time.)
-When i am confident, fearless, without any concern, and a woman smiles from her heart out of pure joy and is emanating the inner light in all its glory.
-Play like a child. Sometimes i dont have to and i just sense the child energy in the place i am at. Like when i went to a voting booth recently which was at a school. Wonderous, joyous and i just light up. beautiful.

Q. Is there something in the depths of your being you would really like to do but are not doing it or experiencing it? Imagine it could be possible somehow How would it impact your life. How does it feel? Has this line of questioning and your experience of it spured you to be any different to before answering the question

I would like to run around the office, screaming "Mice! mice! they are everywhere! Run for your lives!" It would maybe cheer up the day a bit.

I would also like to learn to dance well, it would feel extremely good, this is probably what I'm going to do during the next months.

I would also like to *censored*, it would also feel extremely good but I fear the effects to be destructive to my life.

This line is really nothing new to me, but it cheered me up once again.

Q: Would you lie to defend the truth?

I follow my heart. My heart speaks to my head, and then my head can change it's mind. This is what the word (REPENT) means. To have another mind/change your mind, to be in alliance with the heart.

My head can also speak to my heart, instructing it to soften/forgive, release it.

Basically I allow a dialouge betwen my head, and my heart.


My question:I see paradise unfolding before my very eyes.
Do you see paradise unfolding?

Quirkiest behavior? I guess I'm quirky as a whole. I like to imagine myself as someone else and act as if I was them. And sometimes when I'm alone, I will talk to someone who's not there. That way, I can say whatever I want without offense.

A: When I was 12, a bunch of kids in my class (including me) did something wrong, and we were all kept after class for 2 hours. One lucky boy, however, got away without being punished. This made me jealous and, to impress my 'friends,' I made sure the school authorities didn't forget him and keep him too!

My favorite comedian is Eddie Izzard, because he is not just funny but insightful and brilliant.

What did you differently today than you usually do?

I bunked office pretending to be sick

I am a *little* ill (bit of a persistent high temperature), but where I am, people work through their illness. And I've been on sick leave for the past three days (gasp!) because I've really been ill! And my boss specifically asked me to try to make it today and tomorrow, and I've let him know I can't go on Friday either! And I'm pretty sure he's pissed at me.

And on top of it all, I don't care

I've had a wonderful day, read and replied to a lot of posts here, went to another office to do some work and got an Indication for an Intention I'm manifesting, had a great cup of hot chocolate (yay!) manifested an intention (met my grandma, and she recognized me despite her illness )

When I meet my boss after the weekend, I'll let him know that I plan to hand in my resignation letter (1 months' notice is required) ASAP. This is so that my intention to move to Melbourne in February 2007 gets manifested: I'll need a few days for packing and saying goodbye etc.

It was a great day, and I'm sure tomorrow will be too

I've never done something like this before, let alone so light-heartedly (er, now i feel a bit guilty . But I've been working really, really hard, and even more than I needed to. I deserve this break. And I really am ill. And... Ok, moment of guilt passed.)


Question :
Have you ever taken sick leave without being really sick? When was the last time? Why did you do it? And if you've never done it, would you ever do something like that?
