Sample Of IRS Letters & Notices
Please read my descriptions for each letter. Even if you didn’t get that letter, the descriptions contain a sample of IRS letters & notices useful information that these letters contain. It should help you understand the IRS letters better.
Great Tax Reduction Technique
What if you get a letter from the IRS charging you additional tax based on a math error or a clerical error? How would you like to avoid paying it? Here’s how… write back within 60 days and say you request an abatement under section 6213(b)(2). This may get it abated. It’s worth a try. No one likes being in IRS debt. Sometimes they reassess it, but they must issue a “notice of deficiency” giving you appeal rights. Include in the letter a statement that you disagree with the additional tax and the action you want taken, such as “I disagree with the additional tax assessment because I did everything correctly and I want you to remove the taxes.” Also state that if they don’t remove the taxes, you are requesting that they issue a notice of deficiency so you can file an appeal. The notice of deficiency will list the changes that they made. (Often you get a correction letter that doesn’t spell out why they made the changes in the first place.) Use this approach for letters involving a missing SS# (supply the number and copy of Social Security card, if you have it, in your letter). Send your letter to the address they request you respond to. Never be afraid to call or write for an explanation of the letter or the adjustments being made. You may just want to pay it. If you are contesting it, you will have a better understanding of what you are contesting. If you do call for an explanation, do not give any information as to what and why you did anything! They will record it and it can be used to deny your request for abatement. These strategies can and will help with your IRS situations.

Grand County voters reject Proposition 103, elect school board members
Grand County, CO Colorado
Grand County voters overwhelmingly rejected a five-year tax increase in support of schools, with 71.14 percent against and 28.86 in favor.
According to Grand County Clerk and Recorder Sara Rosene, about 52 percent of active voters turned in ballots in the Nov. 1 mail-ballot election, considered a fairly good turnout.
A final canvass of the results will take place Nov. 14.
The following are official results:
West Grand School Board
Incumbent Brett Davidson garnered the most votes in running for one of three at-large seats on the West Grand School Board.
Of the 1,697 total votes in the West Grand School District, 420, or 24.75 percent, were in favor of Davidson.
Incumbent Dean Billington and challenger Michele DeSanti were also voted in, with Billington taking 24.51 percent of votes and DeSanti 22.98 percent.
Davidson, Billington and DeSanti defeated Michael Lockhart and Jon Ewert. Lockhart had 14.91 percent of votes; Ewert 12.85 percent.
East Grand School Board
In District 2 of the Fraser Valley area, challenger Donald Scott defeated school board incumbent Joan Evans by 56 votes. Scott garnered 53.50 percent of the 2,228 votes; Evans, 46.50 percent.
In District 4, also of the Fraser Valley, incumbent candidate Chip Besse, who had been recently appointed to the board to fill the seat vacated by Gale Delphia, defeated challenger January Paulk by 101 votes. Of the 2,327 votes in that race, Besse took 52.17 percent; Paulk took 47.83 percent.
Taunia Shipman of District 1, who will represent Hot Sulphur Springs area and to the north past Lake Granby toward Grand Lake, ran unchallenged for the available seat left by Mike Thompson, who chose not to run again. Shipman garnered 2,035 votes.
Today, Nov. 2, is the final day for interested parties to turn in their bid for the available East Grand School Board position that primarily represents the original area of the town of Granby, a seat held by school board member Melissa Quinn, who also chose not to run again.
A few potential appointees showed interest, according to district officials, but learned they did not live within District 5 boundaries. No candidates ran for the seat in Tuesday’s election, and as of Tuesday evening, the board still did not have a potential appointee. If a qualified candidate does not come forth today, the president of the board Tom Sifers will be charged with finding someone willing from the community.

Here's a letter that I sent several days ago to a member of Big Media:
Editor, The New York Times
620 Eighth Avenue
New York, NY 10018
To the Editor:
headline about New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand reads "As New Lawyer,
Senator Defended Big Tobacco" (March 27). I ask: Are you capable of
writing "tobacco" without prefacing it with the word "big"? Similarly,
can you write "oil" without the same ominous preface?
These industries indeed are big, but each is a dwarf compared to Uncle Sam.
why do you not routinely describe government as "big government"? The
menacing overtones of such a description are especially appropriate for
the state because, unlike "big tobacco" and "big oil," government uses
violence against persons who refuse to fund its budget and otherwise do

PETALING JAYA • The role of Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) spiritual leader following the death of Datuk Dr Haron Din is expected to be filled by his deputy, Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yaakob.
PAS secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan said Datuk Ahmad, 66, would take over the post as acting spiritual leader for the time being as he is next in line under the party's hierarchy.
"A meeting will be held later to formalise the appointment," he said.
PAS Dewan Ulama chief Datuk Dr Mahfodz Mohamed concurred with Mr Takiyuddin, saying that Mr Ahmad is the most suitable person to take over from Dr Haron.
Mr Ahmad, who is the Kelantan PAS commissioner, was appointed as Kelantan Menteri Besar after the general election in 2013, replacing the then PAS president Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, who served as Menteri Besar for five terms.
Dr Haron died at Stanford University Hospital in San Francisco on Thursday (Friday, Singapore time), hours after he slipped into a coma due to heart complications. He was 76. His remains were buried at the Five Pillars Muslim Cemetery in Livermore, California, on Friday (US time).
Dr Haron's son Hamdi confirmed that his father was laid to rest in the United States.
"It was not an easy decision for us. But with a heavy heart, we chose to arrange for his burial as soon as possible. Baba had told us several times that he wanted to be laid to rest wherever he breathed his last.
"So we chose to bury Baba in California. His body will be cleansed and prepared for burial and the jenazah prayer (prayer for the dead) will be held after the Friday prayers at the AnNur Mosque in Santa Clara," he posted on his father's official Facebook page on Friday.

Editorial: Ditch the dodgy eco-labels
ACTRESS Greta Scacchi posed naked clutching a large dead cod. The upmarket London restaurant Nobu was criticised for selling an endangered species of tuna. And the Pret A Manger sandwich chain stopped selling sushi made from yellowfin tuna in branches worldwide.
Campaigns to encourage diners and shoppers to question whether the seafood they buy is sustainable have hit the mainstream, thanks in no small part to The End of the Line, a 2009 documentary about overfishing. However, the advice given to consumers over sustainable seafood is inconsistent at best, and at worst, misleading.
“Putting too much emphasis on consumers is not an effective strategy” for preserving fisheries, says Jennifer Jacquet of the University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre in Vancouver, Canada, who is lead author of a study comparing dozens of sustainable seafood initiatives published in this month’s Oryx (DOI: 10.1017/S0030605309990470). “There is simply too much mislabelling, too much misleading information, too many inconsistencies and, so far, too few results.”
There is little consensus on what constitutes a “sustainable” fishery. Jacquet points out that while most schemes agree on high-profile species such as the Atlantic bluefin tuna, six organisations rank Atlantic halibut as a species to avoid, while Friends of the Sea recommends it as sustainable. Jacquet identifies conflicting advice for other species including bigeye tuna, lingcod, Atlantic haddock and albacore tuna.
Fisheries researchers question the accuracy of counting methods and modelling. For example, in one of the best-managed fisheries in the world – the eastern Bering Sea – one study identified 30 per cent fewer walleye pollock than models had predicted, suggesting the ...

Rapperswill is a new Northwest Edmonton community well regarded for its beautiful modern homes and family-friendly setting. Characterized by stormwater lakes, walking paths, vast open green spaces, and close proximity to shops and services, this highly desirable neighbourhood strikes a perfect balance between a quiet rural atmosphere and modern amenities.
Did you know? Although Rapperswill is the neighbourhood’s official name as per the City of Edmonton, a local developer dubbed the area “Newcastle,” a name which has since increased in popularity. As such, the community goes by either title, depending on who you ask.
Rapperswill Real Estate and Homes For Sale
First established in 2010, development in Rapperswill is still ongoing. Real estate opportunities in the area consist predominantly of new single-family homes built after 2011. These homes feature large lots, open floor plans and the modern features contemporary buyers have come to expect from a new construction home (i.e. high ceilings, spa-like ensuites, ample storage space, chef-inspired kitchens, and more). Rapperswill single-family models include both convenient front-attached homes and eye-catching laned properties.
As Rapperswill continues to develop, townhomes and duplexes are becoming increasingly popular. Starting in the low 300s, these attached and semi-detached models have broadened the neighbourhood’s appeal for first-time buyers, downsizers and growing families looking for an affordable new home.

The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo are seeking to prevent the spread of misinformation on social media ahead of Argentina’s run-off election on November 19.
The human rights organization, which works to reunite children abducted by Argentina’s last military dictatorship (1976-1983) with their families, sent a letter to Google Argentina leaders on Monday calling for the tech company and its subsidiary, YouTube, to cease promoting content that denies the atrocities of the junta. The letter was addressed to the country managing director as well as the senior manager of public policy and government affairs. As of this writing, the executives had not responded.
“Recently, we have been made aware of a report referenced in the Argentine newspaper Pagina 12 entitled ‘Milei and social networks, a dangerous combination,’ which points to a preponderance of content that denies or minimizes the military dictatorship and the crimes committed during that dark period in our history,” the letter read.
Both far-right congressman Javier Milei and his vice presidential candidate Victoria Villarruel (La Libertad Avanza) have refused to acknowledge democratic consensus that the military killed or forcefully disappeared an estimated 30,000 people as a de facto state power.
In September, Villarruel held an apologist tribute at the Buenos Aires City legislature to honor the “victims” of Argentina’s left-wing forces during the 1970s and ‘80s. At the time, she decried an “amputated vision of human rights” that punished military officers for their crimes but not the guerrilla groups who opposed them.
“It is worrying to see how these falsehoods and distortions are spread through platforms like YouTube, perpetuating a narrative that openly contradicts the reality and suffering we experience as a society,” the Grandmothers said.
According to Contextual, an initiative of Digital Development of Latin America and the Caribbean (IDDLAC, by its Spanish acronym), there has been a steep uptick in the public’s exposure to denialist content in the weeks since the first presidential debate on October 1. One account alone — Break Point, a streamer with ties to the Milei campaign — received 340,000 views over two days.
“It is encouraging to know that in countries like Germany, Google, and YouTube have taken steps to prohibit content that denies or minimizes the Holocaust, recognizing the importance of not allowing falsehoods to spread about such a momentous and painful historical event,” the letter continued.
“We understand that freedom of expression is a fundamental principle, but we also believe that there is an ethical responsibility in the hosting, spreading, and algorithmic recommendation of information, especially when it concerns events as sensitive as the military dictatorship in Argentina.”

A show based upon a sketch comedy show - you'd like to believe that the sketches that they show would be funny - but they're not. I liked the fact that they kept cutting into the west coast feed, but it just wasn't funny. They could've gotten the message across and still been irreverant.
Writers plagiarize and don't get fired? This is quite unbeliveable.
Matthew Perry is very good as always, but his jealousy was alittle over the top.
This episode still came across more like the West Wing rather than Sports Night - in that issues are incredibly urgent and can't wait to be addressed....they need to make the show move slower in this regard. I understand the creating a new, live, show everyweek can be quite chaotic - by the ancillary issues/calamaties get into the way of the show - in this episode it was the plagiarism issue and matt's silly jealousy.
I realize i'm in the minority as compared to most reviews and will probably get many disagrees - but please consider that the viewship for this show is lower than anticipated, and continues to decline - recognize that i'm someone that is trying to hang on, but it needs to get better to stay afloat.

Homebuilder William Lyon Homes sold stock to the public on Thursday for the first time in nearly seven years, raising $217.5 million.
Underwriters set the initial price for each of the 8.7 million new shares at $25 – up from the expected price of $22 to $24 per share. Trading closed at $25.50 per share Thursday, after climbing as high as $28 per share.
Some shares in the company were trading in the over-the-counter market before Thursday. Prior to the public offering, those shares were trading at a split-adjusted price of $29.70.
The Newport Beach firm – which builds homes in California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado – is trading under the “WLH” ticker symbol.
The company’s leading shareholder, New York Hedge fund Luxor Capital Group LP, sold a fourth of the 8.7 million shares offered Wednesday to underwriters. Lyon Homes said that it expects to net approximately $149.9 million from the offering after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses.
The company plans to use the money to buy up to 3,700 lots it currently has under option or has expressed an intent to buy. Together with the 10,682 lots it already owns, that would give Lyon Homes more than 12 years worth of land, it estimates.
Lyon Homes previously traded on the stock market starting in the early 1990s. But family patriarch and company co-founder William Lyon took the company private in the summer of 2006. The company was bailed out by investors amid staggering losses suffering in the housing crash, then emerged from a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in February 2012.
Two homebuilding analysts issued reports recently saying Lyon Homes is poised for a comeback because of its extensive land holdings in some of the nation’s hottest housing markets.
Alex Barron of Housing Research Center LLC in El Paso wrote that while Lyon Homes’ initial stock price “appears a bit rich” in terms of the company’s value, “one only has to look two to three years into the future to realize it is actually very cheap if current trends continue.”
Analyst Megan McGrath of MKM Partners LLC in Stamford, Conn., was more cautious, noting that while Lyon Homes’ land holdings are good for the short term, they could become a liability if home sales and prices weaken.
“They are really concentrated in four states. Those are four states that happen right now to be growing very fast, so that’s good,” McGrath said in a phone interview. “From a longer-term perspective, it also adds a longer-term risk.”
Lyon Homes is one of six builders capitalizing on a rally in U.S. homebuilding stocks. The Bloomberg American Home Builders stock index was up by 55 percent in the past year, and homebuilders are richly priced: the price-to-earnings ratio of the industry index is 17.41, vs. 16.14 for the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.
McGrath said high stock prices relative to company values likely have other private homebuilders thinking about going public. She estimated that stock prices of major homebuilders are about 2.4 times their book values, or the value of assets minus debt and other liabilities. Prices have been double homebuilder book values in just five other periods since 1990, she said.
“These values are not unprecedented, but they’re rare,” McGrath said.

It would be Tyka's coffeehouse in Shayara.
It's a boutique on the left side and a coffeeshop on the right; the coffeehouse is about 80% of the square footage, and the boutique is 20%. You enter through the boutique door. The boutique sells only Shayara-made goods - locally-published books and comics, CDs by local bands, handcrafted clothing. There's a door behind the cash register - that leads to Tyka's office. The other door from Tyka's office goes to the kitchens.
You walk through an archway to the coffeehouse. The floor is brick; the walls are painted in warm colors and hung with art by local artists. The tables are puzzle-pieces with dry-erase tops - they fit together for large parties. There's a mug filled with markers on every table. :) There's also a motley collection of sofas, armchairs, wooden tables, and old lamps.
The back of the coffeehouse has a small stage, perfect for concerts, plays, and Rocky Horror. To the left, a bulletin board on which one can find *anything*, the doors to the bathrooms, and the brightly-painted doors to the kitchens. To the right, the graffiti wall, covered with messages of generations. This place has been here for a long time, a fact that also shows in some of the subtle antiques scattered around. Funky lighting fixtures adorn the high ceilings.

Environmental refugees flee polluted rivers
More than half of the world's major rivers are being seriously depleted and polluted, the World Commission on Water for the 21st Century announced this week.
According to Reuters, Commission Chairman Ismail Serageldin, who is also vice president of the World Bank for Special Products, said in a statement that 25 million people fled their homes in 1998 because of the depletion, pollution, degrading and poisoning of river basins, outnumbering the war-related refugees for the first time in history.
He added that by 2025, the number of environmental refugees could quadruple.
The commission, a Paris-based multilateral group supported by the United Nations and the World Bank, is currently formulating the results of the report, World Water Vision, which will be presented at the Second World Water Forum and Ministerial Conference in The Hague in March 2000.
"More than one-half of the world's major rivers are being seriously depleted and polluted, degrading and poisoning the surrounding ecosystems, thus threatening the health and livelihood of people who depend upon them for irrigation, drinking and industrial water," the Commission said.
Chairman Serageldin said that overuse and misuse of land and water resources in river basins in both advanced industrial countries and developing countries constitute the primary cause for their decline.
The commission said that among the most stressed are China's Yellow River, the Colorado River in the United States, the Nile River in Africa, Russia's Volga River Basin and the Ganges River in South Asia.

Quickly they reached their destination and settled beneath the old olive trees, stretching their legs out before them and resting their weary backs against the rough bark.
One moved out from among them and walked further into the garden. The soft light from the moon above seemed to settle on an area of grass in the center of the garden. The Man came upon the spot and fell onto the grass beneath His feet. Never in all His life had He felt more troubled, more distressed. His body relished the sweetness of lying on the soft grass because soon, He knew, rest would not be His. His mind screamed for a way out, His spirit knowing He had to do what must be done.
Slowly He pulled himself onto His knees and dug His elbows into His thighs.
“Is there no other way?” He called out into the night.
“No my Son. No other way.” A voice like thunder answered.
“All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me, but not what I will, what You will.” He replied.
He stood up and made His way toward the circle of friends that had accompanied Him on the journey. The night was still quiet, but as He drew closer He could hear the sounds of snoring. His heart seemed to shatter within Him. When He needed them most, they had fallen asleep! When all He wanted was a friend, He was alone!
“Can’t you stay awake with me?”
Startled, His friends jumped slightly and rubbed the sleep from their eyes.
He turned from them and began to make His way back to center of the garden. Once again He fell upon the soft grass. The darkness settled in around Him, seeming to steal the very breath from Him. With His face buried in the ground, He once again called out for another way, for relief from the heavy burden threatening to crush Him. The answer was the same.
“No my son. No other way.”
He wiped at the sweat that had collected on His forehead. As the moonlight hit His fingers He saw that they were red. Blood! The sweat on His forehead was blood!
Just as He thought He could take no more, a bright light filled the garden around Him. His father had sent one of heaven’s best to strengthen Him! As He lifted His head and gazed into the beautiful light, He saw you! He saw you alone, crying in your despair. He saw you rejected by those you love. He saw you tempted into doing something you swore you would never do. He saw you with your head hung in shame, guilt bearing down upon your shoulders. He saw you trapped in the prison of sin and condemnation. He saw you with no hope of a way out.
Jesus stood then in the garden surrounded by the light of love and knew then that He must do what He was born to do. He was willing to lay down his life. He was willing because He saw you amidst a world that you did not ask for, trapped in a place that had no way out…..unless He made the way!
In the distance He could hear the sounds of men and dogs coming towards the garden. The hour had come. He began His walk back towards His friends. They had fallen asleep again, but this time peace flooded His heart. He was willing to lay down His life for these and for all others because he knew the Father’s plan. He knew that those, including you, in the future who had accepted Him and what He had done for them would also be willing to lay down their lives for Him!

guy wanted to have children, however, after a few months he decided he would rather be with the older woman and not have children, than have children with someone his age. When he got into his 30s, he realized he wasn’t really OK with not having kids, though he agreed to it before. I hope to be strong and confident like you when I’m older!
Hey, I’m a 25 yr old male, and dating a cougar (maybe will marry), a 55 yr old beautiful woman. In more cases than not, these guys hadn’t really given much thought to kids, but if asked would admit they had always assumed they would have kids.
By the way she’s the type that looks extremely young for her age (like 35). This is a case where two people at different points in their lives come together.
With cougars a hot topic these days, Gosse managed to wrangle some big stories for his cougar branded functions, and he’s been promoting singles events long enough to know how to get the word out.
He even hooked a feature in Gosse said: “We’ve been doing parties with younger men and older women, and no one knew we existed …
He said he came out of curiosity and that he had a cougar experience when he was 22 with a woman in her 40s. “She told me what to do and I learned that a woman can be cute when she’s 44.”His friend Brett, works for Wells Fargo and said he agreed to come because he’s “down for fun things.” Brett said he thought most men there came either because they wanted to get laid or just simple curiosity.
He said he has girlfriends who are 31-37 and they consider themselves cougars.The women ranged in age from 40 – 75 and many were wearing the “dressy attire” requested by Gosse.Shaddy, 30, an art director at Sony, came to the event with his friend Brett, 34, after getting an e-mail about the event from According to Lucia, a cougar is over 40, single and exclusively dates men who are at least 10 years younger. “It’s about confidence, taking care of yourself, knowing what you want and not being afraid to get it.Cougars are sleek, strong, sexy and in control.”She said that unfortunately, there are many myths about cougars.Cougar dating is a growing trend and has been there from the beginning.

Police say an 18-year-old woman killed by a car that plowed through pedestrians in Times Square was a tourist from Portage, Michigan.
Alyssa Elsman died on Thursday when a man drove his car down the sidewalk for three blocks into the heart of New York City's theater district.
Twenty three people were struck by the car before it was stopped by a security barrier. Police say Elsman's 13-year-old sister was among the people who were struck but survived.
Elsman's boyfriend told the New York Post that the 18-year old visiting the Big Apple with a friend and her mother.
"She motivated me, loved me, gave me everything I needed that I couldn’t give myself. And now that she’s gone, I don’t know how I’m going to fill that void," Mr West said. "I don’t know how I’m going to function without her ever again."
"We feel deeply for those injured and particularly for the family of the young woman who was lost. Our prayers are with all of them," New York City mayor Bill de Blasio said on Twitter.
Elsman graduated last year from Portage Northern High School.
"If you didn't know her, you might think she's reserved or shy," school principal Eric Alburtus said. "But if you could talk to her for a minute, you'd realise she was engaging. She was bright. She was funny."
Police identify the driver of the car as Richard Rojas, a Navy veteran from the Bronx. They say he was captured at the scene and arrested. He's in custody.
Two law enforcement officials say Rojas told officers he was hearing voices. They spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorised to speak publicly.
In the Bronx, neighborhood acquaintances said Rojas was a friendly man who had been having problems. Harrison Ramos said Rojas wasn't the same when he came back from active duty in 2014.
"He's been going through a real tough time," he said.

We love and need certainty, don’t we? To know what to expect in returning home and walking through the front door. To know that the super-market shelves continue to display an abundance. To know that drinkable water flow through the tap. Much of our lives revolve around assumed certainties and securities – from relationships to oxygen in the atmosphere.
And then, one day – suddenly, with no warning – something changes, from a status of a long-standing certainty, into a small or big uncertainty. Perhaps pick an aspect of life/world trend that you have already experienced or that you see coming.
Change – a big, radical change – is in the air. We are changing and evolving. In the seen worlds, the last 100 years delivered incredible leaps in technology that have profound impact on our lives. Consider a world without the Internet. Well, this was the case only 30 years ago… In the unseen worlds of human development, our mental and spiritual capacities are rapidly evolving, engendering a non-linear creative impulse that gives birth to all that we witness in the seen; with mind-boggling more awaiting discovery in the unseen, especially where it concerns the process of giving birth to our future selves.
Every sector of society needs to now develop ways to cope with increasing uncertainties brought about by change. Agriculture with unpredictable, extreme weather; information technology with new forms of human interaction; the financial worlds with the consequences of mass-scale reckless practices; governments with the consequences of not caring for the individual; humanity as a whole with the breakdown of old forms and paradigms, and the emergence of non-linear evolutionary events… And then, there is you and me. What do we need to know to be aware of, to be able cope and thrive, regardless of today’s flavour of volatility and uncertainty?
Our ability to cope, respond, and progress is directly proportional to our distance from ourselves: The greater the distance – for many, to the point of disconnection – the greater the struggle. Personal development is a journey of discovery and integration with our natural self, liberating us towards becoming a self-determining, self-leading, future-based, forward-thinking individuals.
It starts with being able to think, feel, and perceive for oneself, to a point that when we think, no-one else’s influence does the thinking or feeling in us. When a person surrenders themselves to another person’s – or a crowd’s – persuasions, large parts of their thinking and feeling space is invaded and occupied by it. So decreasing portions of one’s thoughts and feelings are original to them, and their reactions are therefore disconnected from their core. Often a person may be aware of it, but is unable to access the know-how, will-power, and inner skills to break away from it.
Let’s take this a little further. Every day, we make hundreds of micro-decisions. To what degree are our decision-making processes being directed or governed by someone or something else’s influence?
Consider parent influence, hereditary influences, childhood experiences, new and old friendships, teachers, mentors, ‘celebrity influencers’, impactful encounters with strangers… The human system is imbued with a huge range of potent influences, from high to low, that live in different parts of our minds, brains, psychology, all the way to DNA formations. What is shaping your decisions, convictions and opinions? “My parents wanted me to be a something” – and indeed, many even become quite successful at being that something, but at what hidden cost to the buried wishes of their natural self? This doesn’t imply not learning or ‘catching the way of it’ from others, which, as we live our lives, we cannot do without. The question is: How does exposure to someone else’s radiation and behaviour leave you feeling when you walk away from the encounter?
The core of a human is a still, quiet place, that is connected to profound Creational realms. The greater the distance a person is from their core, the greater the emotional roller-coaster and stress factors; with the mindfulness that stress is the most lethal disease of the 21st century.
Being one’s own person is a never-ending journey of personal growth. It is also a deeply healing, awe-inspiring, liberating, and connective process; a journey of self-realization, with perpetually unfolding new developmental horizons.
Let’s come at this from another angle. What is the first thing that happens to us when we wake up? Unless we know how to side-step it, we get invaded by the pressures and demands of the day, which is essentially an ever-repeating carry-over of our yesterdays. Before you know it, something else is already in charge of your life in a new day. A new day, however, is yet one more building block opportunity of our future self. If sleep had a voice, it would say: “Hey, I worked for a few good hours to clean you up and energize you, to make you refreshed and ready for a new day, and so much of my work is gone in the first few minutes after you wake up”.
What do you want to fill the vacuum in your mind with first thing in the morning?
All too often we end up making too much space for the unimportant, and too little space for the important. The task at hand is to reverse this fatality.
- What is important – really, really important?
- What is important to me?
- What do I value?
- What do I really, really want?
- What makes me feel good?
- What do I love doing?
- What do I need to improve, and how?
- What little change will create the biggest impact at this time?
The task is to create a process continuity clear from alien influences and persuasions. As an example, occasionally spending a bit of time – like 20 or 30 minutes – contemplating these and many other related questions. This practice creates space for inner lives, voices, and natural connections that are suppressed by the daily rush of fulfilling to do lists. If you are not already practicing this, you may be surprised by what it yields, and where it leads to, which is deeper into the minimally explored worlds of the human possibility and your evolutionary opportunity therein.
Note: This is not about formulating fixing answers to these questions, but to rather engage in a process continuum that keeps opening up new realisations, perspectives, small understandings, little and perhaps not so little aha moments… a process leading to a process leading to a process…to gradually form up your own mind about what matters and what does not matter; what is and what is not important; nurturing a developing mindset that perceives what is happening in and around you with growing wisdom and impartiality.
In the worlds of human development, on every 10% genuine effort, you get multiples in return in ideas, enhancements, energies, and in time, new skills and capabilities.
This connective practice creates space for rains of small discoveries and self-realisations, and a deepening union between you and the many lives that together make up the self of the human, gradually becoming a harmonious inner choir, rather than a host of inner lives lacking harmony and congruity.
It’s a seemingly simple practice that will challenge your habits in many ways. The front brain programming may resist it with its wanderlust programming. Don’t try to fight your own brain. Train it into your new-found developmental ways and good habits by making them interesting to you, so it becomes interested as well. Because the brain is not you, it is an incredible organ that lives in your head, that needs on-going training into what you are about as an emerging, self-determining human. So that it learns to trust you and deliver the flow of perceptions and hidden knowledge that it is made to provide its master – you, the being in the body you occupy.
Our greatest self-realization is that we are already so much better and more capable than we think we are or are conditioned to think that we are – each of us in her or his fascinating, unique way.
The more integrated we are with our natural self and what it is connected to; the more we seed, nourish, and nurture self-determining processes in the space that we occupy; the more we exhaust and leave behind influences that pull us away from our natural selves; the more we become connected to the promise of the human opportunity. This, in turn, makes us better equipped to handle the increasing chaos and uncertainty of the madhouse of the 21st century.
There is of course a great deal more to the developmental processes of becoming one’s own person. But this is an important component of it.
With best wishes,
