Poweful Words

 

Everything we do, everything we are, rests on our personal power. If we have enough of it, one word is enough to change the course of our lives. If we don't, the most magnificent piece of wisdom can be revealed to us and that revelation won't make a damn bit of difference.

Do you know that at this very moment you are surrounded by eternity? And do you know you can use that eternity, if you so desire? Do you know that you can extend yourself forever in any direction and use it to take the totality of yourself forever in any direction? Do you know that one moment can be eternity?  If you had enough personal power, my words alone would serve as a means to round up the totality of yourself and get to the crucial part of it  out of the boundaries in which it is contained.

-From Tales of Power 

As long as a man feels that he is the

most important thing in the world, he

cannot really appreciate the world

around him.  He is like a horse with blinders;

all he sees is himself, apart from everything

else.

-From Journey to Ixtlan 

The basic difference between an ordinary

man and a warrior is that a warrior

takes everything as a challenge, while an

ordinary man takes everything as a 

blessing or a curse.

-From Tales of Power

IMPOSSIBLE THINGS HAPPEN EVERY DAY !

Alice Laughed, "There's no use in trying", she said. "One Can't believe in Impossible Things!"
"I dare say you haven't had much practice", said the Queen."When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as Six impossible things before breakfast!" ~ Lewis Carrol 

Tamatoe Jam

• 1 kilo tomatoes 
• 1 kilo  sugar; ( I used a little less)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract;
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice;
• 3/4 cup apple juice

Put tamotoes in boiling water for awhile. Remove and peel and core the tomatoes. Cut in small junks

Combine sugar and tamatoes in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.

Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and apple juice. Stir. 

Uncover and gently boil the mixture for about two hours over low heat. Stir occasionally for the first 90 minutes. Stir frequently for the last 30 minutes to keep the jam from burning.

The volume of the jam will reduce by half. It will darken in color and the tomato chunks will shrink. The jam is finished if it is syrupy when a little is placed on a cold plate.
