This Blog’s Purpose
As mentioned in the very first post of this blog, this blog has 2 purposes: (1) to present you with information about how you can manifest good things in your life, presenting you with techniques that have been proven many times over to actually work; and (2) to receive some income in some manner or form. I am currently planning to offer one or more e-books for sale later this year. Any income from this will then help me in the realization of my visualized life paradigm for what remains of my lifetime. While I originally intended to launch the book(s) and blog at the same time, an event occurred last summer that urged me to just get started with the blog, ready or not. So that is what I did. I just started writing these posts.
An Audience Of One
Some years ago, during one of the many jobs that I have worked over my lifetime, I found myself as a representative of my trade union in the facility in which I worked. Approximately 250 employees worked in the installation. In an effort to improve communication within the labor workforce, I started a monthly newsletter. Using my own free time for writing and editing and my own money for printing, I kept it up for roughly a year and a half before it became overly time and money consuming. I did receive unsolicited positive feedback from a number of employees regarding the newsletter. On the last page of the newsletter, titled, “Some Final Thoughts”, I always wrote something which was close in tenor to the content of the posts of this blog. Some of that positive feedback was in regard to that specific page of the newsletter, so I know that some at least were reading and enjoying it. So for now, until I am ready to engage in actions that will serve to invite a multitude of people to this blog, I will harken back to that previous experience. I will simply make believe that others are actually reading these blog posts and receiving something beneficial from them. Even though nobody else is currently reading this blog, there has been one documented reader who has already been helped — me. As I write a new post each week and then subsequently proofread and edit same, I remind myself of concepts and truths and techniques that during the course of everyday living, one tends, for one inexplicable reason or another, to forget. I speak of concepts and truths and techniques that have helped me with past manifestations that for whatever reason, I have put aside. I can only chalk that up to the fact that I am a highly flawed human being.
The Inner Voice
I read an account somewhere (can’t remember where) concerning the author, lecturer and mystic, Neville Goddard. He was the author of sixteen books as well as having given thousands of lectures. In the early sixties, he wrote a book entitled “The Law and The Promise”. He began to incorporate concepts from that book into his lectures. His business agent noted to him that his lectures were not being received as enthusiastically as previous years and that the numbers attending the lectures were dropping. As I recall, his response to his business agent was something to the effect “if i have to speak to an empty lecture hall, so be it. What I currently have to say about what I wrote about in The Law And The Promise, simply must be said.” Until such time as I am ready to employ measures to introduce this blog to a larger audience than one…myself…I will continue to “speak to an empty lecture hall”. For whatever reason, the inner urge, the inner desire, the inner prompting, to write is stronger than the logical choice to just wait until I am writing these posts for others in addition to myself. The inner voice said “just start writing” and so I did. And if nobody else on the planet ever reads these posts, it’s ok. The fact is that they have already helped someone — me. And through that help, I may then be better able to help others in what remains of my lifetime. Thus, the primary goal will have been reached through an indirect route. Sometimes, that’s how life works.
