I was recently reading a book by Dan Millman "The Life You Were Born to Live : A Guide to Finding Your Life Purpose".
You might remember an ancient Greek dude named Pythagoras from geometry class. The square of the hypotenuse is divided by the sum of the squares etc. He is often referred to as the father of mathematics.
Did you know that Pythagoras invented the 8 note "octave" that we use for sheet music all over the world today? The story goes that Pythagoras discovered that musical notes could be translated into mathematical equations when he passed blacksmiths at work, and thought the sound of their anvils being hit was beautiful and harmonious. He believed that whatever scientific law caused this to happen must be mathematical, and could be applied to music. He went to the blacksmiths to learn how this had happened by looking at their tools, he discovered that it was because the anvils were "simple ratios of each other, one was half the size of the first, another was 2/3 the size, and so on.
Pythagoras believed that the etire universe was a gigantic mathematical, musical symphany. In his mind and that of his followers everything had numerical value, even colors and emotions.
Millman's book is based on this ancient wisdom. Those who are into astrology, and believe that one's fate is somehow mystically intertwined with the stars will certainly appreciate it. A persons life purpose can be determined with a mathematical formula derived from one's date of birth on the standard Gregorian calender.
I'm always a little skeptical when I approach ideas that are new to me. But, the information that Millman presented matching my "birth number" really made an impression on me.
He gives the characteristics matching each birth number, from the perspectives of both positive and negative energies. He discusses the issues involed in each life path with health, relationships, etc.
Check it out if you're curious. It's really an easy read because you can skip alot of the parts that don't apply to your life path.
I've learned a secret to impressing women that I'm going to share with you. It's a secret that probably not 1 in 1,000 men knows or will ever figure out on his own. The reason that most men will never figure out this particular secret is that it's too obvious.
Let me explain...
I personally think that most men feel a very powerful desire to impress women. If you watch the way a man behaves when he's talking to a woman he's just met or a woman that he's on a first date with, you can see it. Maybe you've been there yourself. I know I have. Many, many times, in fact. The feeling that you need to impress a woman usually comes along with another feeling: DON'T SCREW THIS UP.
Here are some of the signs that a guy is feeling the need to "impress" the woman that he's talking to:
1) He tries to only say "cool" things, or things that will "impress" the woman.
2) He acts nervous and stilted during the conversation... sometimes coming across as "formal".
3) He tries to figure out what the woman wants to hear.
4) If he says something that the woman doesn't like, he "back-pedals" and tries to change what he said to suit the woman.
5) He doesn't say anything "risky", doesn't tease the woman, and doesn't do anything to upset her.
...in other words, when a guy is talking to a woman that he "likes", he's usually on his "best behavior", and he's trying to "put his best foot forward". And this drive to impress often makes them act unnatural.
I get homeopathy and holistic medicine confused then I guess. I like the way you write dis-ease. In keeping with the idea that many physical ailments are a result of mental, emotional, or spiritual imbalance, dis-ease as opposed to being at ease.
