The Numerology for 2017

Note: this text will receive some revision in the next days.
(Last edited Feb,9,2017)


We started 2017 with many world events happening, but most was expected, like events in the politics areas, companies doing this or that, people arguing about so many different ideas.

In practice I won’t say thing are not changing. Be sure things will always will change. But the direction is not due global events, as they in practice started at each one acting into his/her personal world and that added to others until that result in big movements.

Everything Is A Cycle
Art by Teagan White - USA

There are cycles in life:
Natura non facit saltus! From Latin: “Nature does not makes jumps!”

This to remember all natural things and change gradually with time. Season's cycles, people you knew and become an adult and you was unaware of it. The tree you saw as a small herb in the middle of the grass grown and now have fruits.

Most of times people does not pay attention to all intermediate events happening, just remember a previous time until something happens and they discover to be far away from the source events.
Each year is just a continuation from the previous, with some remainder energies and new incoming events that will be affected and be observed in different points of view just because you are also changing.

---

Some background: 

I had commented for years about my vision on the numbers for each year, and glad almost everything I told have been right, including the income years like after that 2012 apocalypse time.See the 2012 Numerology.

That time I was pointed to talk about some future world events. I had commented more at the forums too. Even if I don't like to do any kind of prophecy, I had to do that time as a strong warning and most to people at spiritual areas, mainly the ones at higher levels, because the decades and even two centuries to come. The world is going into that and each year we see that more and more.

Just to remember, we are going each year more and more into the mixing of many practices and religions with other ideas and concepts. Each year information is easier to get anywhere and even the most remote places will be affected someway due this.
And this is not only in the spiritual areas, but also at politics, science, culture, etc. At all places people are collecting information and using it someway, creating some good mixes, but some others not so.
Even at some very fanatics areas we see they using new resources and methods that are against even their self-proclaimed principles, just with the excuse of something be needed. Just hypocrites and opportunists.  
For example, in my country we have a lot of evangelic churches and many of them have been using practices I recognize at once as proper from the African Traditional Religions. Modern practitioners of the traditional areas of Western Magic also have been using methods and techniques from very different sources.No need to cite the cruel terrorists who use anything to show they are just cowards.

In the next years, politics, technology, science, etc. are going to become to be confuse areas too. We’ll find many of them adopting practices from other areas and many, even if with a sincere desire to do the good for others, in practice results in more problems that people are not thinking about just because they does not observe what is the real source of such things.

As 2017 is a number 1 year, we'll see more of this at both sides: some people will be more on acting than thinking while others will be "doing" instead of just acting.  
There are many examples at many areas. At technology companies we'll see more and more a stagnation due some company leaders looking only for gain and lacking to care the minds behind the busines. It's just a matter of times of busines collapse due lack of knowledge. If you don't preserve the professionals who know how and what to do, be sure the newbies will not replace them just because they won't find people to teach them. Newbies can be cheap, but are the olders who keep business with a background and able to be moving.

The spiritual confusion also acts at the society level, I say not just the magicians and witches, but every common people is under such mixing of ideas and practices. Remember most people even without any kind of spiritual practice, are most of times ruled by them. Even if they are not part of some religions, the leaders, business people and governs, most of all times have guidance from people at the spiritual and magic areas. 
The result will be a confusion and that in no ways will be good. We are going fast into a kind of spiritual dark age and in my point of view, in just one more decade things can be really very worse.

This is why I pointed that time to the higher ones to become prepared to support people, to be able to be a light to others and be able to fight against the confusion and work to restore a better level of consciousness but this also will need some decades more.



So let's be moving to act with creativity and to develop our lives!

And now at 2017 we are entering again is a number 1 year, a time for action, changes and even new cycles.
Like the others, this is not a numerology study for each people, but it is about the global energies around for this year, so each one may have an idea how things at global levels will be acting so they can think better how to deal with that.

Even if the energy is global, still you have to work locally, as an individual. No matter what you do, even if you are the President of a big company, a farmer or a salesman, you have your own path and the way you care of your life is what matter.
Each one have a personal path. So in the same way the personal numerology is different even for people who born at the same day as commented at previous articles. You have your family and geographic/social influences acting. Who you was at previous lives, the kind of activities you will be attracted for, your personal evolution. All this matters.

This is one reason why I add comments about the personal numerology at the full readings I do, as the way I work, is not only the Tarot. In practice, I use often use both techniques as I’m talking about how the person is and how that numbers affect the way each event is perceived and how to deal with that. So for sure, the ideal is each one have a personal study for each year, to have a specific analysis of the energies and have better ideas about how to deal with that.

To repeat, no matter the main year number, each one have their own ways to deal with that and a personal path.
This 2017 year will be again a strong example to deal and observe.

The Numbers for 2017

In the numerology 2017 will be a number 1 but this time, not only a simple number 1.

In my vision this year is a pure number 10 (2+1+7=10 an then 1 + 0 = 1) and this add a lot to events and powers related to world events under the western calendar.

Note as in numerology, we sum all digits until get a result. For some years we'll get for example (19 so 1 + 9 = 10 and only then 1 + 0 = 1). But some at some years we have a direct 10 at the first sum result and this is the difference. In this example, I would study the 19, not the 10.

A pure 10 is a powerfull number for any enterprises, at any area. Be personal, companies, countries, etc.


This means I pay special attention to a pure number 10.
The previous one was 2008 (2+0+0+8=10). Just remember how many global changes happened and the results of that we see until today. Many companies and countries even recovered or was able to deal with the changes because that time. See the comments about the spiral of evolution later to get more about this.
We usually see comments about the numbers 1 to 9. But there are some specials. And the number 10 is one of that.



Let’s comment first the basic aspects of the number 1. This is what most people will get.

The 1 means action. To make. To do.
And the number 1 is the start of a new cycle.
What new cycle and action have in common? A new cycle is a movement, the initial step that need to be continued. So this means action.
In general, the 1 is a new cycle of events and related to the learnings of the previous year, always a number 9 when we had plans do make, choices to complete.

Things start at the number 1 and grown each year until the 9 and energy will change the way each personal aspect and life events receive different energies and also change perceptions about the multiple life’s aspects.
For sure new beginnings can be changes in life as the previous are complete or reached the point for a new goal.
Is always good to re-evaluate your goals and this is a good time for this and act.
Sometimes what is needed is to face your fears and change the way you see that.

The same way the number 1 is very positive, due the action power, it also have a negative aspect: to be unable to act, let fears take control even become rigid and this is something that can last for a long if not changed.

So the first idea is about a year about acting and for new beginnings. Finish with the old behind and continue for evolution.


Action At All And With All!

Plan A

Now some about action in my point of view.
I repeat often, I'm not a scholar. I'm a practitioner.
For sure I read a lot, search a lot of antique material, even do a lot of research to decode ancient practices.
I just have not "that" patience to make all that compilations and write nice academic works.
I write the same way I speak in public. As needed, I go after some source to cite, but nothing more most of times.
I like to be in the front area, working, acting. I'm a kind of warrior.
I'm glad to see how many fantastic works our modern scholars have presented.
And the ones I respect more are working really hard in the practice too. 
It's just a matter of choice.
One and other time you will find a text of mine a bit more at that level. But it's rare.
I realy love to find the energy moving, to be at any time and at each day working.

Action!
Salute the new day, care of home and pets while doing a prayer, talk to neighbors and seeing how to help on their needs, observe how the clouds are moving and calling some deities about it, taking the needed time for university lessons, preparing material for a ritual, commenting to some people about how to deal with this or that, doing your job. All this is action!

Whatever you do daily to to improve your life is action!

See, just to repeat the same is just keep the same.
Work to do it better!
I do my bread for three decades and I'm not satisfied! I'm not a good cooker. Because this sometimes I have a needed rest and buy ready bread. Then after a time, I get the work again, study what I'm doing wrong and move again to do a better bread.
Most of of times I do a very good bread, but sometimes that's goes wrong. And some goes very wrong! LOL...   So I work to see what I changed to make it better.
I'm not after a bread of acceptable quality as most do. This is easy, just repeat the same recipe and never try something new.

Get this? Just to repeat is not action. That is only simple repetition.
I'm not after that!

Just to repeat is the same as never learn and never have a real action!

If you want a real result, your action must start at 100% as I learned in the 90s.
You need commitment as a main part of life and spirtual development.
You must action by yourself, never because someone.
The only real commitment is with your own development, your own spiritual evolution. 
That is all counts in life.

The difficult thing is to value this and who maintains their commitment.
Many large companies lose their best employees every day because of this.
Thanks for the comments I had received in years from people of value, yes, I really did all those things spoken in the lectures and a lot more one and other time I cite about the fantastic experiences I had.
I'm not after fashion social aspects nor Harry Potter fantasy tales.


What you have to get is the action energy to reach the real goals you pointed.

How Jupiter would appear at our horizon.
Art by Ron Miller - National Air and Space Museum’s Albert Einstein Planetarium.

What are your goals?

This works the same way in magic and for any area in life.

A common phrase we see a lot, is "all fingers point to the Moon".
But why the Moon as you can point your fingers to any planet and star?
You may be serious to point and do all the needed action to reach your goal!
MOVE ON!


The fingers are not important. What matter is the goal!

This is again the energy you got from this 2017 year, a number 1 presenting lots of opportunities to grow your life acting to reach higher levels.



And here about scholar work.
They do a great job, be sure.
I repeat, thanks to all the good scholar ones and more to all the good practitioners ones!

But to be in the working area, to be a practitioner after results is not the same as just being a scholar or a simple airmchair one. 

There's the needed theory and the more needed practice.
We are part of the whole magic world. 


Even the best scholars I know who also are practitioners can't assure results in magic.
I knew fantastic cookers who did even a bread very wrong, like mine! And be sure they are people I fully respect.
This is why as anything in life, nobody can assure results in magic!
It's impossible!
We deal with our own aspects plus all the others people events.

Citing Aleister Crowley "Every man and every woman is a star".
We are around a very small star, our Sun. 
Think we have billions plus billions of stars and galaxies just in the visible area. Each one is so diferent going to the most absurd level of our humble idea about the Universe.
Think the energy the people far away, around the giant stars may have!

Just think on this: we are part of a small solar system, in the remote border of this Galaxy.
Now think there are places in the Universe where the lowest energy they know is what we see as being the most sublime Love.
For sure there are placer even darker than here, but let that out as the most evil idea is far away from that.

Action is a power to increase, develop, to make.

Work to do!
Act using all your learnings each day to make it better.
Act to study and discover new horizons!
Act to be free and someday, you really become a true Star in this universe!




Now let's comment some aspects of the number 10.

As a kind of primary master number, the 10 means an entire cycle happening at once.
We have the power of the number 1 for "to do".
The number 10 is the big action, the enterprise level of events at any area.

To make it simple, a cooker with the number 1 will learn to do good food, even will have a restaurant. But a cooker with the number 10, will create a food company, or became a master chief even with a network of good restaurants.
A musician with a number 1, will learn to play well and be a good musician. The number 10 will become a great maestro or make new music style.

For sure there many other ways the combination of different numbers in the personal numerology will also result in big works. This is just one.


When the number 10 happens, it brings more power to drastic changes, big inventions, large steps ahead at any area.


This will be a year for big events, big works happenings. For good or bad.

And big works won't be invisible.
We'll see big companies growing due good products the same way we'll see other big companies going into big disasters. Both sides of the same energy.

The ones with big tasks todo will face a lot of such events. Not all good, not all bad and many in the middle area.


A negative aspect of the number 10 in a personal numerology is this can even lead lack of scruples. Which means that some will use this energy to achieve great results regardless of who they are going to harm and how they did it.


In a global scale, the same negative aspect will be working at some big shit happening. 

But again, none of this will be invisible. Big names will be exposed due the good or bad acts.


The Spiral of Evolution

The ideas of the numbers 1 and 10 are related with life cycles too.
There are many cycles in life. The wheel of the year, the seasons, the personal life, our planet moving around the Sun, etc.

The idea of doing something must be with the intent of complete the task.
And doing a task is a minor cycle as part of others major cycles. 

If you go to the school, each year is a cycle while the complete degree is a major cycle.
If you have bad results at the final exams each year, you may repeat all that again until you are able to level up to the next level until you finish the course.

For sure there are many types of cycles, some last seven years, others like the numerology is just 10 years, others are the centuries, etc.
The most visible is the annual cycle of life.


Another interesting example, is the seven years cycle of life:

People at the ages:

• 0-7 are babies. 
• 8-14 are children. 
• 15-21 are teenagers. 
• 22-28 become adults. 
• 29-35 are mature. 

• Then the cycle start again but in my point of view with a difference. The cycle start at children level: So at 36-42 they become children again and want explore everything as new. 
• 43-49 they become again teenagers. Just remember the famous 40's crisis. Due the same reason, is very common to many women at this phase to be very closer to thir daughters about men, sharing clothes and even disputing atention from guys. 
• 50-56 a new adult time when people create and are very productive. 
• 57-63 the second mature phase. 

Here things change again, and the new cycle start at teenager's time!

• So 64-70 is common at some places such people just wanting to be very social. Parties and all that stuff. 
• 71-77 to become adult again.

And so on.
For sure, the previous idea add life experience at each level. And as noted, at each new level, that start one point following the sequence until at final, the only repeating is the mature level.


Do the work or you will have it again!

Not all people pay atention why some events in their lives appears to repeat.
A simple example is someone who jump from one love relationship to another and have the same kind of relation as before. Such people didn't learned and still keep after the same type of people.

When you complete a cycle, if you have not changed nor leraned, this means you will be at same level as before.

With no evolution, after some time events will just repeat, again and again.


But when people learn, grown, change their lives for better, they will level up, so after a time, when the cycle reach the same point they will be in an above level, and this makes the cycle become a evolutive spiral moving upwards.

Note, you still will be near the same places, but looking from a higher point of view. This is learning and developing conscioussness.

The previous two examples makes better to understand about the importante of doing and being responsible for your own acts.


Note: some people may fall in life. What they choose to do will lead for a decreasing spiral. This is not related to life concerns, but with the prsonal learnings and choices in life. Such ones at end of each cycle will fall more and more. Usually they are the ones who seek the evil in life and work only for destruction. I won't discuss such ones more.



New cycle, work to level up!

So the most important energy for a new cycle is to make, moving up!
So a number 1 year presents lots of opportunities do changes, start new activities, complete at once the previous and move forward.

This means power to strong transformations at all areas, personal, science, politics, economic, etc.

And due the power of the number 10 this add the idea on the upward spiral cited above.
The ones who level up, will have a wide vision, from a higher point of view. This is why many will comment this is a year for more spiritual awareness and development.

But remember I cited before about mixing of practices.
So at the same time many people will work more and better for spiritual development, at the same time, some will be mixing practices and instead of real growing, they will creating more confusion and the results won't be as the expected.

The more important is to know your own resources and develop yourself to make better decisions and act with a clear view about your life and the others.

Actions in this number 10 will be many times very strong.
So we can expect drastic events resulting from people and even governs works.

As we had many global changes in 2008, be sure many will be happening, but this will be different.

Many changes will happens like at once, but if you remember the cycles, and observe the previous events, you will find many of them was presenting to happens while others will be like decisions done under pressure.
The number 1 is not a "think so much" number. Is an "action" number. This is why many acts will appears to be choosen in an instant. And many will be so.
This is a reason for the importante of some spiritual development and to the people in the higher levels to pay more atention to others.
In no ways this means normal people may become a monk, each people have a personal path. Just will be very good for both sides pay atention to others.

With a bit of care, we'll see many progress, but at the same time, lower levels may be so closer due blind fast acts.

So is better to remember about the spiral of evolution and work the best at your own area to improve what you do, developing counsciousness and increasing life quality.

Use the energy and Go!

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis - Oração de São Francisco

"Paz e Bem".
Author: Dirceu Francisco Villa Verde Filho - Brazil

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis
Oração de São Francisco de Assis
20/09/2016

A Powerfull Prayer For Personal Life and Even Companies

Sometimes I comment about St. Francis.

I see him as a great Shaman.
More than learning to talk with plants and animals, he was a master of the Elementals of Nature.

He became my St. patron when I received from His hands the initiation over the four elements in the 90s.

One night I was awakened to go to the meditation room and there were all that spirits and he was the one who presented Himself to guide the ceremony.
He was not a beggar as churches present. He was a very rich guy and able to deal with all the natural powers.

Just remember, before choosing the simple life, like the Gautama Buddha, St. Francis came from one of the richest families of the town and had all pleasures in life before. I say, all the pleasures. And he was a warrior for some time too, fights in battles, fun, sex, all that. He had everything before find he already had all the needed. 


I was already deep in meditation and shamanic practices.

So all previous workings joined and I learned to work with the Peace Prayer.

In practice, this prayer is very recent and was just inspired by His work. 




 
Some Uses To This Prayer:

I found it to be used as a kind of personal Alchemy practice. 

A simple idea for Alchemy is to change your dark aspects into gold. Spiritual gold. Or just what is bad into something better.

My first suggestion is to study each phrase, and observe how it is related to the many life's areas. 
It's not to repeat it. I strongly suggest you get all the meanings each verse has. 


You can use it daily, or even as a mantra to change your mood and opens up to the natural powers around you. 

This will change your point of view about what's happening in your life and to understand better other's points of view. And you will learn to feed on Nature.


How to use it:

The best is to be alone, but if not possible, keep quiet as possible.
But do the prayer using your voice.
Forgot telepathy. You must use your voice at any prayer as possible.  (or learn to shout in your mind).
Even if you are in public, even so, you can use a clear as possible low voice.

This is something a lot of people and magicians didn't get: spirits (angels, demons, saints, etc) do not divine what's inside your head. Yes, forget any dreams experiences you had. Here you are the one putting energy into your intent. So, use your voice, even at low volume.

The best way for any prayer is when you do it with a sound. No scandals need for sure. Even if you have to talk with a low voice do it.




Working for a more formal ritual:

Like any other spirit, bring a candle and talk with your voice "I"m offering this to St. Francis".
Put a cup of clean water aside.
You can use standard size to seven days size candles with the cup of water aside.
Then do your prayer. Repeat it three to seven times as you feel.
As I told, this is like a personal Alchemy, so I wish maybe you get a different mood just while you are reciting the prayer. As most works, this is natural, so let's it happens and enjoy that time.
Prayer is a communion time, so have your time.
With time, such practices become a time to be silent. This is just meditation. Let it happens!
Then follow your daily activities.

After a time, at minimum, one day, throw the water in a natural place, better it is like the grass of wood area on the need for water. Just feed the nature! St. Francis fed the nature ones, remember this, so your ritual must help those ones too.


Doing offerings:

You can do offering to St Francis too. But never before an asking except for the cup of water you give and return to nature after.

Your need must be on His area of work, to improve life, feed the needed, change darkness into light.


A good offering to St. Francis, in my opinion, is always giving a sincere thanks and doing hidden charity!
When you feel you got your life changed the way you needed, no matter the size of the results (as this always have taught), you can do an offering to His work in this way:

Fist be sure He is not the one to receive it. He needs nothing. St. Francis works to the humble ones and nature. He works with others. So your offering is to the ones He cares. 
Do an anonymous offering to the humble ones or the natural ones.
Do it as you can, and be sure nobody knows you are the one behind that. Charity always must be done anonymously. 


There are two main ways for that. To do by yourself or pay for what you are unable to do. 
I don't know how to sew, so I buy ready for clothes. And as I'm getting older, plus all I don't know how to do, some works I'm really unable to do, so I pay someone to do it. Then I choose people and pay well as these ones deserve and feel happy as they got a job. 
Remember, some people, even skilled and humble, maybe under difficult times. So please, do the right thing. As an example, (sorry, I don't like to cite, but work here), someone asked a shameless cheap value for a work I was sure to cost three times more. So by myself, I paid three times more and refused the original price. One of many. 


Please read this: to all people and anyone at magic/spiritual areas: Spiritual results it's not what you get. It's HOW you get it. The spiritual area is never, but never for opportunists!

Stick this: To be respectful of the spirits and the same way to get respect from them is the main aspect to get.

 
To people at the leadership at companies, this is something that will even save your business. Valuate who works for you!
At any of such events, that has to be like a sincere thanks. 

If you want to know about offerings, learn to evaluate what you receive and how people and spirits work. 

This is the idea, Uhm? 


So for some offerings for St. Francis.:

First, working: have a real care of your garden, help to clean up your local park, a riverside, make your place a better and nice place to anyone's life. 

Second, pay for what you can't do. Some people can't do the work due to a lot of reasons. So they use their money, and this means they had a serious effort to gain that money. 
Starting with very simple examples, like make water supply with bows to street dogs, help feed poor families, water the nature plants at a public garden or even do a needed cleanup at such places, help someone who deserve to pay the college, give some wheelchairs (and be sure nobody knows who are you), etc. 
Just make nature and other's lives beautiful without expecting a return! 

This is why for companies, public works when they promote it, really add nothing at the spiritual levels, as that is just self-promotion while their owner's life keeps bad. 
Charity always has to be in an anonymous way. Dot.  
The moment you promote such acts, even with photos of your "charity", that became the opposite. For sure, not Karma, just you are showing to be an opportunist.



For Personal Work:

The prayer is good to have strength in difficult times. To get inspiration about how to use your current resources to improve your situation. For family harmony. To have more clarity about your own life and to understand yourself more. For support and spiritual strengthening in cases of illness. To improve your mood. For cases of anxiety.

For Personal Work in Nature: 

Use the prayer to get in touch with the forces of nature and become more aware of the beauties of life.

For protection at nature. Please, do not try to hug bears! LOL...

Well, I had a strong spiritual experience in the mountains with a Puma so closer of my head to feed on me. But that was the only one in life experience. Do not try this! Such events happen was a fantastic spiritual gift.



As you recite the prayer to prepare and while you are into it, this is ideal for those who love nature and practice outdoor activities, such as trails in the woods (trekking), mountaineering, climbing, canoeing, exploration of natural areas, caves, etc.  
This prayer will attract into you the Nature Powers. Be sure. 
Regardless of your faith, this prayer works to change your soul and become like an invitation for the spirits and forces of nature to present themselves in all their wonders. 
For sure I can't guarantee you will see fairies, but with time, you will be in the mood. I'm glad for dragonflies, butterflies, and birds coming so close. And some wonderful events even in shining mountains.

For photographers who want to learn how to capture an instant of time. That is, to learn to perceive life in all its aspects and get the beauty of it. This means, to be able to get the beauty in life. For any artistic activity that deals with life. Painting, sculpture, music, dance, etc.

Note for Dark artists and some famous photographers of the sadness: In my point of view, you are not collecting life, you after the dark, sad aspects. You do money with sickness. That is not life. This prayer is one of the many ways to change what you do and get Light the day you wish to change. Won't say names as they don't deserve it. 


For the Work in Companies - Business:

The prayer is also for all who are in a position of command and leadership. Owners, directors, managers, etc. This will harmonize your relationship with people and especially the environment as you work on it. You will even become a better boss as you bring light into yourself. With constant repetition, this will strengthen your spirit. 

Forget about to suggest this to someone at your business! 
This prayer is ideal to be recited alone, before going to business meetings. And if you drink 3 cups of clean water together, this also adds the aspects of the water elements, about intuition and Light needed to improve meetings and get the needed insights and better results. 

I already cited somewhere about the changes at a business meeting just by drinking 3 cups of water before a business meeting.  Don't be worried about the need to piss. Everyone knows the good part of a business meeting needs only 15 minutes.

For employees, it helps to have a better understanding of their role, to have better relationships with colleagues, and to neutralize negative perception in difficult environments. 

ATTENTION FOR COMPANIES: This is not like those methods some companies use a pay someone to talk about what you want. I'm not here to talk about what you want! This practice has to be totally voluntary, it can never be imposed by the company. That is, do it for yourself and only in positive cases, it can happen that someone became curious to know more, so in this case, only you can comment that you are using this prayer (or spiritual practice). But no miracles! OK? 
This is teaching through examples. Be yourself a good example and over time, the very good energies of nature will work.



For Magicians, Sorcerers, Witches and Shamans Work

St. Francis as a Shaman, became one of those spirits with a powerful Egregore to work with. 
Forget the church aspects of the poor. 
Call Him and you will find a lot more. 
Nature and people have needs. To be poor is not the same as having nothing, BUT that means to live with what one has.

St Francis works great as the previous examples, but He is also a great source to learning, guidance and helps when you have to deal to get Harmony and Healing in the previously cited areas. 

It is very interesting the way he will work to bring such results too. 
So you can evoke Him for help in the needed areas. Not like St. Expedite, but for human evolution as the main aspect.

The Origin of the Peace Prayer of St. Francis from: The Origin of the Peace Prayer of St. Francis by Dr. Christian Renoux, Associate Professor of the University of Orleans, France.


Original Text of the Peace Prayer of St. Francis: (French)

Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix.
Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour.
Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
Là où il y a la discorde, que je mette l'union.
Là où il y a l'erreur, que je mette la vérité.
Là où il y a le doute, que je mette la foi.
Là où il y a le désespoir, que je mette l'espérance.
Là où il y a les ténèbres, que je mette votre lumière.
Là où il y a la tristesse, que je mette la joie.
Ô Maître, que je ne cherche pas tant à être consolé qu'à consoler,

à être compris qu'à comprendre,

à être aimé qu'à aimer,

car c'est en donnant qu'on reçoit,

c'est en s'oubliant qu'on trouve,

c'est en pardonnant qu'on est pardonné,

c'est en mourant qu'on ressuscite à l'éternelle vie.

The popular English version: 

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.

And this "Oratio Sancti Francisci" from www.preces-latinae.org


Latin: 

Domine, fac me servum pacis tuae,
ubi odium, amorem seram;
ubi iniuria, veniam;
ubi dubium, fidem;
ubi desperatio, spem;
ubi caligo, lucem;
ubi tristitia, laetitiam.
O Domine coelestis, concede mihi ut ne tam petam
consolari quam consolare,
intellegi quam intelligere,
amari quam amare.
Nam in dando recipimus,
in ignoscendo ignoscimur,
et in moriendo ad vitam aeternam nascimur. Amen.

Peace Prayer of St. Francis
Art by Veronica Berglind - USA

Portuguese version:


In portuguese it's named as "Oração de São Francisco de Assis".

Senhor, fazei-me instrumento de vossa paz.
Onde houver ódio, que eu leve o amor;
Onde houver ofensa, que eu leve o perdão;
Onde houver discórdia, que eu leve a união;
Onde houver dúvida, que eu leve a fé;
Onde houver erro, que eu leve a verdade;
Onde houver desespero, que eu leve a esperança;
Onde houver tristeza, que eu leve a alegria;
Onde houver trevas, que eu leve a luz.

Ó Mestre, Fazei que eu procure mais
Consolar, que ser consolado;
compreender, que ser compreendido;
amar, que ser amado.
Pois é dando que se recebe,
é perdoando que se é perdoado,
e é morrendo que se vive para a vida eterna.

Memory versus Learning

Memory versus Learning


From times to times I meet someone who is very proud to know by head a lot of information.

But how much this is usefull?

This is an article where I do a mix about corporate software development and the occult study areas as I have told for some years, I found my work to be a whole at all.

Ok. If your company dislike because I love to walk at mountains and nature places there's no problem. People have personal lives. And my work as any other professional worker is what I do for life and to help companies growing.But personal interests are not of your business most of times and we observed any skilled talents in the market have other areas of interest to add to their experience and skills.

So we have a lot of information we receive in life, plus all training and experiences. This is what make us reach levels of expertize and being able to solve our work needs.

So there are many levels. Some will do only the basic, others will be able to work alone, others will be able to create and to do. Some others will lead and teach others. And few will reach the "wisdom level".  Each company need all of them.

I fully agree with this quote cited as being from Einstein:

“Never memorize something that you can look up.” - Albert Einstein"

Here is the comment about at the site Brightdrops:

"This is more true today than it was back in Einstein’s time, because the Internet means you can look just about anything up. That frees the mind from having to memorize useless facts and figures and explore deeper thoughts that require creativity and imagination, two things that Einstein prized above all else. It’s true that even some of the most successful business people followed this strategy. Henry Ford was once questioned about how smart he was and retorted that he could get the answer to any question with just the push of a button, so why did he have to know it?"

My comments:

For sure at school and university and some level exams you need to know for each area, a lot of information. 

And for times ahead, for example, if you chose an area like Medicine. A doctor must know a lot of principles related to so many areas and be able to identify the most symptoms as fast as possible.

One way to do it is often review your study and reread even old books. Our memory is a machine and need be oiled, Ok? So is very good to add new material, but also give a look even at some very basic materials. And as a book lover, I had many old books I reread sometimes.

Uhm, well, that is what we expect from most doctors and the really good ones can do it. 

But not all times. The purpose is to understand the information you get and develop your own expertise.

With time you have to be able to know how to use it. Keep what is important, have the main principles and understand what is needed to develop it.

Even the character Dr. House from the TV series who was really brilliant needed to search for information. 

My "uncle" Mr Spock was so brilliant but many times had researched for information too. Star Trek fans will remember he was too often at the computer researching, but other times at his personal place meditating and working on yourself.

Ok. There are the information needed and at what is needed to know about to deal with it. 

To me, the important is not how much information you can keep at mind ready to call it at once.

The important is if you is able to use it. To know how to use it!

Even some occult orders appears to pay atention to how much information you can have at mind.
What?
Uhm, Ok, for sure the good ones have people skilled to just talk with someone and to be able to see who is who.


But what the difference this have to any professional area?

To me, none.
For companies, a leveled professional must talk with someone skilled for just few minutes for a match. No stupid basic school test as some still does. Most of times that is rude.

Sorry friends at any of such groups as I've been able to talk with any people at any of my work areas in respectful ways at all levels.

What some are looking for? 

I'm sad to comment, I had talked with so many people who work in a way to make sure their companies will broke soon.  They do not look for a wide scene.

Ok, about to know. A simple example: you may know how to do a very nice better barbecue? Great!!! Please, invite me, I'm a very bad at cuisine!

Anyways, I still know the theory about how to make the fire and the meat, but most of you just are better at the cuisine. LOL...


Yes!!! Just because I like a barbecue this in no ways means I have to be so good doing it!

Barbecue done in a typical south Brasil way."Churrasco".

Information is only data. Useless without the expertize for practice. 

A scholar is someone who love research. A scientist, some skilled software developers, a medicine doctor and many others.

And many scholars don't know all that information by head!
Get this? If you visit a scholar at work most for sure you will see a lot of books for reference opened around. Just for curiosity, now I have nine books plus printings and notes around me I'm using this week. Plus usually a dozen tabs opened at the internet browser for references I'm looking for. They will be back to the stand but next day I get more up the tables.
A reason we love libraries!

So well, why I became a writer?

For sure not because I know everything by head!

I use to say I become a writer because I don't like to remember too much things, no matter the expertise I may develop on it. 

And why? Just because I know where I can find the information I need.

I may write about computer development work, a fantastic fiction tale or something about the occult or my experiences on human development. 

What I really need is to know what to do. Dot.

Despite some capability to write since early age, my first formal article came to public only in 1986.

It was a ten pages article for for a local Computerworld journal (The DataNews Journal), about advanced software development of online systems (CICS/VS) for IBM mainframes. A high level technology and was ten pages at first. Wow! Guess how I felt! And the publisher did a lot on the Ads... LOL... 

But how I started that about writing? 
Just doing what I do almost all days since I remember. I always used to read a lot and was saving information and taking notes about my study. 
How many people goes to the bathroom with a 300 pages computer manual or an occult book? I was one since the 70s.  
And there was a lot of big books to study. Not only one, but usually a dozen each with 300-400 pages to read just for one area. And the need for practices few have did. 
Any  coincidence with occult area? Just to cite as you become better at some area, this will help to the others areas too. Need discipline and practice.

Computers to me always was related with the occult. And no mysticims about.  Just is something you need to go deep and try a lot, have errors and learn from that.


Both areas goes deep into realms with a wide knowledge to explore. 
And you can use your imagination to develop a personal method to work.


 
For sure I have a lot of processed information in my brain, but I have no memory about working only by head in life, but always working with all much I was using at time plus the need for references. 

And may be you do not know, astronauts who went to the moon had manuals to use all the time. They was real heros!
I remember to see photos of the Nasa people, all the team, doing trainings seated at the floor, not nice rooms, they was on extreme pressure and have to get the information as soon as possible, and put it in practice.
Just to remember, most of photos you will find about that missions had most seniors professionals, working hard, not only fashion teens as we see at many company profiles.

Learning about the jungle is very related with many practical aspects of business. Are you able to continue despite the worst troubles?


So I found at some time, I had so many information collected to become an article and started to publish. This is how it started. Collecting notes. And I never stopped.

The result from that article was interesting. I received a lot of letters from all major companies in my country while my boss (who had a copy of the journal in his desk) tryed to ignore it because he knew my salary was not so good... (LOL...) and used to recognized me after being called due costumers... I was a big reference in the market that time....  
Funny but true. 

Ok, I was not after his aproval. The first is my own. And a hundreds of good ones had returned too.  

This have happened to my softtware professional area and at the occult areas.

Remember, I use to say I see my work very related to all these areas. Human kind evolution and computers.
Sometime we will have a development level very advanced. Many are just Sci-fi for now. 

I'm not against yours approval of this or that.

A main point if you have a work you know to be true and work for it. 

Not all people will agree with you. 

And many will question what you are doing in all possible ways. 

And the first way I point all times is: I'm not a scholar! I'm a practictioner! 


What your company pay atention for? To know or just only know the current fashion tool? 
To just obbey orders or have oppinions to create and make your company grown?

There's not much difference using tools from centuries or the internet fashion tools. 


You must to know what to look for!

Juan Manuel Fangio
A guy who really knew how to do it.

Sorry people, I won't appears in a chat and be ready to talk by mind an entire text from an old grimoire or whatever on technology. 

Nor I will be able many times to present by head a work about a computer software among dozens I've worked. But I can talk by myself at any time and if I have few hours to get into something new or not it may surprise you.

I work to learn and develop about how to do it at my areas!

I love Juan Manuel Fangio as a big example. 
This guy had not automatic machines. He driven F1 cars in brute. No computers. No fantastic machines. Just a man and the tool he chose.

This guy for life, until dead, received each week visitors, the best pilots of the world, and guess for what? Just because he was knew as being a Master in his work. The most famous pilots came into him to learn and give respect. In practice, he worked his entire life. 

I will repeat this to so company leaders: Juan Manuel Fangio was visited until his dead by people who came to learn with him how to drive. They never was against the tools. 

If you pay atention for the tools only, you are ready to become a looser. 

Like a company where they only goes after costs. They will broke soon for sure. 

Creativity, being produtive is the first. 
Never, but never about having some information by head. 

You must to know how to use it.. 



Any good pilot will be ready to learn and drive a machine. Get this company managers? A decent professional must know what to do. The tool is only the way we may use.

So I will be able to comment at instant about how things work. 

If I need a phormula, I know where to get it. 
At internet times we have lots of sources. One must be able to filter all bulshit, find the best forums, and for sure, look for the best authors and books. 

When it is some tool I have not worked, I will be ready to recognize what I need to follow on that. 

This is Learning. 

I don't pay a f*ck if someone only know the current computer software tool. This is not so different from dozens I had used in deep for years. 

Remember when Nokia had to admit they lose their creativity near to broke? Hummm?? I had an article in 2009 about intrusions on people life many years before that is a critical reason to loose profesionals. A senior manager commented in public article to prefer hiring a criminal instead a smoker so I had to comment about some human and company aspects. Real talents have a real life. But if your company chose a raper, a murder or any other criminal because dislike someone personal interest, well, pay the price and I really wish that won't affect your family. Or better, remember you have a family. 

And going into the occult, want to learn another Grimoire area? What you need to follow? The Great Art is also named The work of God. This means standarts to follow, discipline, brain work, not became a saint, Ok? 


Why real good creative people does not want to work at your company? 

I suggest you to read this fantastic Aaron Shapiro's article, and it is very up to date to any area where talent is needed: Why Digital Talent Doesn’t Want To Work At Your Company.

And if this is about occult, there are a lot to do, and I will follow that for the needed time.

Memory is good to immediate needs, like the ceremonial rituals you are working for many time. 

But just to know phrases by head never, but never is the same as to know how to deal with that. 

I'm always far aways from the ultimate goal,

But I'm always sure about what I want to do and with some decent idea about how it can be done and most of all, be ready to discover a new way for that!

Want to grow your business? Grow your mind!
