Grimoire..you know, spell book. Come on guys! Geez...doesn't anyone play Dungeons and Dragons anymore? This is the second word in your grimoire. Just as powerful as No or Yes but...different. Let's take the same approach we did with No: What is Why? What does Why do? Are Why's effects worthwhile?
First let's answer this question: Does this pertain to meditation or the LSAT? Yes. Now shut up.
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 11:52AM Google "power of No" and see what happens. You'll see a self-help book, a "negotiating secrets" book, a how-to guide for standing up for yourself, a YouTube clip, and even a domain of the same name...for telemarketing services.
A little help, please?Remember, No is one of the three most powerful (and magical!) words your psyche has; so with magic and telemarketing in mind, let's look at what No is, what No does, and whether No's effects are worthwhile.
Friday, November 11, 2011 at 12:42PM Stay with me here: Pretend, for a minute, that each word you say is a magic spell, and that the events that follow whatever you say are direct effects of your words. A basic example might be, "I would like a cheeseburger," followed by some actor bringing you a cheeseburger. It's not quite unicorn-level magic, but it's still pretty neat; lungs, lips, tongue, and teeth (and some money) function together to make a desire a reality.
It's Magic!! Or refraction. Or reflection. Or whatever the hell we learned in fourth grade.If I took this premise seriously, that words directly affect reality, I would certainly be more mindful of my speech. I would need to root through my vocabulary and decide which words should be used and which should not. Words like "sea monster" and "USB cable" are probably innocuous. I've only met one person who could summon sea monsters at will and he died a rather horrifying (and poetic) death. The people that use "USB cable" don't have friends and need not be discussed.
