Hi Friends,

 

Great to be able to talk you all again, and trust you will enjoy this edition of our Newsletter.

 

For the next few months to come I will be handing over the editorship  to my good friend and colleague  Joe Downing who is more than capable to carry on where I have left off!  I will be taking some time off the net to attend to stuff on a personal as well as career level, as soon as I am settled in and able to spend more time online be sure I will be back !

 

I wish each and every one of you all life’s best, and always remember a problem/situation is a moment….lets not make it a monument! They are our life’s teachers and there is always a lesson to learn from it…its there just to make us wiser!

 

With that said, I bid you farewell for a time and look forward to getting back here soon.

 

Till then,

 

Auf  Wiedersehen!

Pauline

Volunteers

Every once in a while, you meet a person who makes a big difference to your life, your experiences or to your thinking. 

Running an online business now for over 10 years, I have met many people and dealt with them on different levels. Adlandpro community was probably the biggest source of such encounters, since due to it we have a much better means of getting to know each other.

Paulina Raina, Joe Downing, John Sanchez, Marilyn Martin, Peter Fogel, these are just a few names who had a profound impact on my life and this community in recent years 

The reason I'm bringing up these names is that these people took the responsibility on themselves (totally on a volunteer bases) of supporting and entertaining this community. They have given their time to run such programs as Best Forum of the Month Award, Person of the Week Award, Picture of the Week Award, Community Newsletter, or just to help with any of these programs. Mostly this was their initiative and all their ideas. Adlandpro community would not be what it is today without these people.

Here again Pauline Raina and Joe Downing have joined forces of creating a new newsletter dedicated to Best Forum Award.

I can't thank enough, all the volunteers who make this community a real place of friendship, support and entertainment.

There are also others who were very noticeable over the years, like Nick Sym, Jill Bachman, Rose Enderud, Sam Sunday, Georgios Paraskevopoulos, Sarah Pritchard, Joelees Wholesale, Sara Blow, Thomas Richmond and Ana Maria Padurean.

I would like to thank all those who are listed here as well as everybody else who I have dealt with in the past.

Lucid Mind - And It`s Inner Rivals

 

I would like to share some things which I have learned recently, with a big hope that any of them may be helpful , specially to those who never really have paid attention how much their mind is lucid.

 

I certainly do believe that there is no one single life , which can be considered as a meaningless. Also I do believe that EACH mind is lucid. What prevents it to create always just a great things? Why do we not live an abundant life, why do we not enjoy in freedom ? Why do we not even know WHAT FREEDOM SHOULD BE ?

 

Rousseau stated that " Man was born free, and everywhere he is in chains. Liberty is not to do whatever I am willing to do, but not to be forced to do what I am not willing."

 

Are we not forced to do so many things each day?

 

Modern Psychology and Metaphisics pay much attention to the mind subjects and our need to take the control over it. Almost each day we have revealed new things, but still it rather seems like the jungle, than one harmonized and comfortable place, in which any of the directions may be followed to expect certain effects.

 

What I have revealed is very simple and  may be quite  helpful.
 

Our mind has a many rivals , inner and outer : psychics base, emotions, social base, bio-chemical ... , visible and invisible. Being an actor of physical drama in the physical  world, it simply requires from ego  to determine it`s actions.

 

Not to go now too deep into their interactions, to be able to picture all possible relationships which may be created here, we can imagine one soccer team in which play top-talents, but each player plays for his own interest. And the coach, our subconscious mind, has his own idea how the team should play.   "Team spirit"  works only at the birth and death. All between, is one ridiculous self-centered parade ... and if we could be able to measure all energy this micro-cosmos (human being) spends during the life-time games .... he/she should be considered  as a biggest spendthrift in the Universe.

 

Does man have only LUCID MIND to bear with life ?

 

No. Gifts and talents come from the space beyond human mind. From  the Divine  Reality. If we permit them to be mind-conducter .... our life should be turned for a 360 ˚ .

 

Focusing to our gifts and talents, we would avoid everlasting quarelling between : 3 mind-actors (consciousness (actor), subconsciousness (conductor)  and overcounsciousness (Garfield – lovable image,  who plays from time to time, and seems may be lazy) , a many ego-replicas (personalities) ..... until 7 main human spirits, each one bipolar in nature J ...

 

Do we need to be spiritual, to be able to performe this change?

 

Yes and no.

 

<>We should be AWARE that all our reality (and all what is everywhere) was created BY SPIRITS.

When you wish to come to visit me, your mind-process should look like :

„I am going to visit Branka. She lives at Serbia. The fastest way to reach her is to travel by airplane.... „

 

When you wish to change your life and to eliminate all the chaos you have inside and around, your mind-process should look like :

 

I am expanding into Divine Reality. There is my biggest wealth and power. (I do not need an airplane .)  My thought is pretty enough. Now I`d release all the spirits I already have used until now (putting an old shoes into contaigner) ... and I`d choose the Divine Spirit to support my biggest gifts and talents. I`d be patient, as aptient as I am watching any other educative content on TV or my comp. Divine spirit is not bipolar and would never create any doubt within my mind. It would create the best vision how to use my gifts and talents. I`d believe in that vision, at least as much as I believed  to my parents or my teachers,  and I`d open my heart to manifest it.“

 

Accepting the guidance of the Divine Spirit, would not turn us into the monks or priests ... It would be enough if we do not forget that Divine Spirit has created ALL WHAT EXSIST, icluding our minds ... and all the spirits what challenge our strenght and intelligence in our daily life, so seldom permitting our lucid minds to shine and  to create all what they are skilled.

 

To sum up :

 

Acknowledging our awareness that we know who is older , and accepting to be an embodiment of the Divine Spirit, would stop all rivality between our mind and other actors, and also within our mind . It would finally be able to manifest what Creator`s Spirit creates for us. And that may only be glorious and beneficial. Hallelujah!

How things have changed....
A recent 'Letter to the Editor' in our Brisbane newspaper may not be as far-fetched as it reads. It's a fictitious account of a math exam question across four decades.

1970: A logger sells a lorry load of timber for $1000. His cost of production is 4/5 of the selling price. What is his profit?

1980: A logger sells a lorry load of timber for $1000. His cost of production is 4/5 of the selling price, or $800. What is his profit?

1990: A logger sells a lorry load of timber for $1000. His cost of production is $800. Did he make a profit?

2000:
A logger sells a lorry load of timber for $1000. His cost of production is $800 and his profit is $200. Your assignment is to underline the number 200.

2009: A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is totally selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our forests. He does this so he can make a profit of $200. What do you think of the way he makes a living?

The topic for class participation after answering the question is:
How did the birds and koalas feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers). If you are upset about the plight of the animals, counseling will be available.

---------------------------------------------

Lawyers should never ask a grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a prosecuting lawyer called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and  asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"  She responded , "Yes I do know you Mr Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot but haven't the brains to realize you'll never be anything more than a two-bob pen pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense lawyer?" She again replied, "Yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster. He's lazy, bigoted, and has a drinking problem. He can't build normal relationships with anyone and his legal practice is one of the worst in the entire country. He's cheated on his wife with at least three different women, one of them being your sister! Yes, I know him."

The defense lawyer almost died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you ask her if she knows me, you'll do long time."

Summer Time

I'm sure none of you needed to be reminded that it is Summer.  LOL!!!  I just wanted to bring up the subject in relation to Adlandpro.  It seems that when Summer comes around, many of us disappear for a while.  I sure hope everyone is having a good time, taking some needed time off to visit your favorite spots in the world.

Me?  I'm working as usual.  With Pauline away, I'm pretty busy trying to keep up with the tight schedule for BFA besides my so many other endeavors.  And, mostly, trying to stay cool.  It is HOT here in NM!

Well, just because it is Summer, doesn't mean that the Best Forum Award goes on vacation.  We are here with a great line up this month.  Please be sure and go vote!  And, when nominations open up for next month, we'll be expecting to see your nominations.  

Why?   The BFA was designed to Inspire and Reward!   I hope you will be inspired!

Ya'll have a safe summer!

Joe Downing

Dear Pauline and Joe,
     I am just wondering, when people receive your BFA Newsletter each month, do they reflect how great job you do here? How important is to build up one proven communication line, and to improve it in the way the two of you do it.
     I think, beside  praising your job, more cordially and friendly would be to give you the support  :) .
     This month you have made one so pleasant surprise for me. I thank you for giving me the AWARD OF APPRECIATION for May. Simply, I was very touched and happy.
     The BFA Newsletter is very specific and great . If one wishes to get to know Adland better, enough would be to search through BFA Newsletter archives. It's content is a precise guide through most special activities and events here.
     Thank you very much for taking care not only to inform, but also to inspire and to lift up - as our business premises (over Bogdan's Mentor's Moments), as our creative moments.
     Sending you my sincere thank yours, considering Joe as a hugger and Pauline as an Angel of blessings, finally I'd like to HUG AND TO BLESS YOU :) !

Dear BFA Team and Administration,
     I am following all newsletters but it is first time I decided to give a reply. First I want to mention that AdLandPro is a complete community having a wide network in all categories which fulfill all my interests in remarkable and notable areas of life such as friendship, relations, spiritual vision, emotional and physical encouragement, financial proposals, opportunities and business ideas for teaching and self-learning.
     On first joining AdLandPro one generally feels it’s a complex program. I get many chatting messages or Personal messages where new members ask for help. But this community is different from all other I know and work for. It includes everything. It is a huge program with all possible works. It is so wide that it is impossible to follow all those happenings. For those who understand the AdLandPro philosophy this is one of the best and professional programs. I can understand why many new members stop after their verification of their accounts. Personally I bring most of my time in forums that makes life happy and joyful. Even I have many things to learn about AdLandPro. Most of its ventures are still “secret” to me. Later on I will learn more about them, join and contribute in its financial areas and its business prospects and projects.
     The latest editions of the BFA Newsletter are very good. A monthly review to inform the entire community on the most important happenings events and adventures gives us the possibility to find eventually missed posts, threads, topics and proposals. Beside the information members are telling us their experience both good and bad either to help us in or to warn us from any scam.
     The OPEN FORUM was a good idea for a discussion. Many members claimed there that they did not receive any notification for the Newsletters. I believe that most of us deleted the notifications without even opening them. The addition in the rules for old forums to join again the contest is also a good idea which will activate some old forums. I miss many of them.
     Those are just some of my thoughts. I will be back in next Newsletter if there is place for an input. For the moment the only thing I can do wish you all involved in the BFA Newsletter Good luck and to keep up the good work.

Kindly regards

Georgios
