Tegghiaio Aldobrandi asked:
I previously asked a question. Noone caught the comparison to
the Earth, (spirit, mind), and the human brain. The left side of the
brain being logical, and the right side more psychic. The Western
Hemisphere of the world being technological, and the Eastern
Hemisphere being mystical. But one person asked, where does
that leave the North and the South? Here is my observation.
The South in the United States, relied heavily on the slavery of
Blacks. The North, fought the South to free the Blacks.
There are two Latino gangs in LA. The North which is down with
Blacks. And the South which is down with Whites and rejects Blacks. Does this signify anything? Seems curious to me.

Rolf Bratli asked:
Independent of the market you are serving — all state that ‘THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST’.
But when you are starting out new in Internet business, without a name, without any joint venture partners and with virtually no money to spend, how you can build a responsive list without it costing you a fortune?
By applying the best method available in the industry you can make money while building yourself a huge list of responsive prospects. The secret behind this is duplication; – if you help others make money you will yourself make money online. It is the perfect business model – I don’t succeed until YOU make money. And you will succeed when you help others to make money.
To set this business model in motion will require that you present the prospect with a model that is possible to duplicate by your prospects. And the prospect must be able to teach their prospects how to duplicate the system and so on.
To make such a system possible you need a ‘funded proposal’, i.e. a low cost opportunity and a lead generation opportunity that both creates recurring (residual) short term (weekly) income for the prospect, covering their cost, i.e. ‘entrance fee’ and advertising of the opportunity. This system allows your prospects to build their lists while they make money, by the users duplicating the systems you yourself use. In the system you also include a high ticket item that provide the long term recurring income when the prospects joint this opportunity. And your prospects shall be able to duplicate your system and learn their prospects to duplicate their system. Then you have a ‘funded proposal’ in action.
This is likely one of the most powerful methods to build a long term responsive email list.
Why?
Because you show the prospects that joins you how to build their own email list and at the same time they make money while doing it. Do you think this is powerful or not? Will they follow your suggestions if you make other business proposals to this list?
You bet — you have already made them money before, and the likelihood that you will make them money again will be considered high. This means that the conversion rates for such a list will be much better than a ‘cold list’ of prospects you have no relation to.
So what is the system that need to be in place to achieve the funded proposal’? The following elements should be present:
* a duplicable website the lead can enter for free, with ample training materials freely available
* the prospect study the material available and are pointed to the low cost opportunity and lead generation that both delivers residual short term (weekly) income covering cost plus providing a small profit.
* one or several affiliate opportunities that provides recurring long term residual income
* auto responders to follow up the leads generated, converting them from the low cost opportunity into the higher cost opportunity, giving recurring long term residual income
The system should also include training calls and discussions of the methods for recruiting. The training calls provides a community feeling and give the participants team spirit. The whole concept should be run with the aim of helping people achieving their goals of obtaining financial freedom. The training calls provides a community feeling and give the participants team spirit.
All the participants provide customer service to the prospects that enters the system through their websites, they pay it forward for later profit. The users are allowed to make their own decisions, there are no hard selling to join the different opportunities, as the training provided will clearly demonstrate for the users the benefit for them to join all the opportunities.
Such a system will provide a continuous flow of prospects that is already highly qualified leads, and this means that you will never again need to buy leads, as the system will provide the leads required through the ‘funded proposal’.

Ross Heaven asked:
Loulou Prince is a medsen fey (leaf doctor/herbalist and shaman) in Jacmel, a small Haitian town close to the border with the Dominican Republic. In his daily practice, he deals with a range of health problems typical of the area – from aches and cuts and bruises symptomatic of the hard toil in the fields through which most of his patients make a living, to sufferers of more serious complaints such as HIV and AIDS, a disease as prevalent in Haiti as in other Third World countries.
“Ours is a spiritual tradition which traces its lineage to the shamans of primal Africa, which we call Gine”, said Loulou. “It blends together a number of African beliefs with elements from other faiths, such as Catholicism, the religion of the French slave traders who took the shamans and priests of Africa to this new world of the Caribbean.
“The lwa are the spirits who travelled with us from Africa. They come to us through a trance where the healer is ‘mounted’ by the lwa – or through their appearances in our dreams”.
Both of these ways of working with the spirits are present in the healing practices of the medsen fey, who is at an expert herbalist and a shaman, inspired by the spirits in his choice of healing herbs.
“The medsen fey is a person who knows how to talk to the lwa and to use leaves and other plant parts to promote health and cure illness”, says Loulou. “Many of us also have personal or family lwa who also help us in our work”.
This latter point is interesting. The ancestors – the family of lwa known as ‘zanset yo’ – are a powerful healing force and every healer will have developed a close relationship with his own ancestral spirits. It is also possible to ‘inherit’ these spirits from another healer or family member. Having once been human themselves, the ancestors understand the pains and concerns of the living and, through their new status as enlightened beings, can offer direct healing or healing advice to the medsen fey.
DREAMS
Often, these spirits appear in dreams to advise the healer on the course of treatment to use with a particular client.
“If I am treating a sick person, very often I have a dream, and I see the leaves I should give that person”, says Loulou. “In these dreams, the lwa will come to me and tell me what to do, or I see that I am in the woods, and leaves are pushing up in front of me. Once I have this knowledge, I use my training as an herbalist to make tea or infusions in rum for the person who is suffering.
”Once I was treating a man who had body aches all the time, and diarrhoea and congestion. The man had no money to pay a doctor, so he came to me. That night, I had a dream where a lwa came to me with leaves in her hand. She said, ‘These leaves, boil them and give them to the sick man.’
“When I woke up, I went into the forest to look for those leaves and I found them straightaway. I boiled them as I had been shown and gave them to the sick man. Within a day, he was returned to full health.”
THE SPIRIT OF THE LEAVES
There are very few illnesses, it seems, that cannot be healed – or at least alleviated – with the plants of the rainforest. Loulou treats people with digestive disorders, sexual problems, fevers and colds, and has medicine to clean and purify the blood, and restore balance and order to the physical body. He also treats people who are ailing and children who are not growing well due to persecution by evil spirits. Here, the medicine is of a more magical nature and designed to bring balance to the spirit and the emotions.
“There are specific, strong-smelling leaves, which help children who are under spiritual attack”, says Loulou. “I mix these leaves with special magical items which I have been shown by the lwa, and then I take some raw rum and sea water and I make a bath for the child. I soak some of the leaves in rum and set them on fire to heat the bath up. Before I bathe the child I pray, and I bless the leaves. Then, while I am bathing him, I sing songs for the lwa and the ancestors, and ask them to come and help this child.
“The rest of the bath that is left over, I put in a green calabash bowl or a bottle, and before the child goes to sleep, I have the parents rub his arms and legs with it. When that is done, no one can curse that child or do evil magic to them”.
JUDGEMENTS AND JEALOUSY
How this ‘evil magic’ comes to infect the child bears similarities to the almost universal belief in mal d’ojo, the evil eye. The magic comes through the judgements of others and through jealousy.
As an example of this, Loulou was once asked to perform magical work for a woman who had four children, two of whom had already died through the actions of evil spirits who would come to her house at night and frighten the children, ******* the energy out of them. The woman concerned was a market trader who had been able to amass a little money (a rare commodity in Haiti), and her neighbours were jealous of her.
“One of these neighbours had sent spirits against her to kill her children”, said Loulou. “The lady lost two children that way and another was getting sick and skinny. I gave the child exactly what he needed. I bathed him and broke the bad magic, then I gave him leaves to make his blood bitter, so it would taste and smell bad to the spirits, and they would go away. After that, the child got better; he got fat and he grew. That boy is a young man now. He lives near me and he calls me ‘Papa Loulou’ because he remembers what I did for him.”
Loulou also works with people who have chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, hypertension, and AIDS. While he is realistic and honest enough to admit that he cannot always cure these diseases, there is much that he can do to help the sufferer live a longer, healthier life.
“If a person has diabetes, there are leaves I boil and give him to drink. The same for high blood pressure. Sometimes he will go back to the doctor, and the doctor asks, ‘What have you been doing? Your blood pressure has fallen.’ But the doctors never come talk with me because they don’t want to admit that they don’t know everything and they don’t want to lose any chance to make money from their patients.
”If a person has AIDS, there are leaves for that too. They are not always going to save that person’s life, but my aim is to make that life as pain-free and tolerable as I can, so they are not held back by the disease and can enjoy the life that is left to them. I stop their diarrhoea, for example or, if they have sores in their mouth, I can make them better. If the person has become skinny, if their blood is very poor, I make a tonic for them, with herbs in red wine. They drink a few spoonfuls every day, and they put on weight, they build back up. But it’s not a cure. I pray that I might find a cure, but that is in the hands of God, the saints and the lwa”.
CURING THE BLOOD
In Haiti, the met tete (‘master of the head’) is the lwa who is your guardian spirit during your lifetime. Every person is born the ‘child’ of a particular lwa, whether they recognise that and formalise the relationship through kanzo (initiation), or not. This lwa lives in the blood and is a guide and protector to his or her child throughout their lives. But the blood also attracts other spirits who may use the fluid to possess or infect that person, as was the case in Loulou’s example of the sick child.
A lot of the leaves that Loulou uses therefore have to do with the blood – ‘building up the blood’, cleansing it, or making the patient ‘throw off’ blood. If she is pregnant, for example, with an unwanted child – a situation frequent in Haiti, with low uptake of contraception and sufficient poverty to make large families untenable – Loulou has medicines which can help her to painlessly abort the child by changing the spiritual constituents of the blood which reaches the foetus.
“I find the leaves in the woods and in the pastures around where I live. I know them because my mother taught me ever since I was little. There are secrets to how I pick the leaves, secret words I have to say, things I am not going to reveal. Sometimes I dry the leaves and powder them; sometimes I use them fresh. It is not my job to judge, when a patient comes to me; my job only is to make them well again”.
PRACTICAL MAGIC
Magical healing in Haiti is often very practical. There is no division, in the Western sense, between good health and good ‘luck’ – if you are in control of your own life and the things around you, you are automatically power-full and it is more difficult for the spirits to enter your body and do you harm.
“If your wife or husband leaves you, the medsen fey can work a wanga [healing charm] to make them come back. Or if you love someone and want them to be attracted to you, I can do magic for that.
“The leaves are part of the magic and there are leaves in the woods that I use, but you will also need other things: a photograph of the person you want, certain types of perfume, a pocket handkerchief, a piece of rope, a little wooden chair, a mirror… various things. I call the person you want, spiritually, and I make them come sit down on the stool where you are. Then I work with the other things to make that person notice you and want to make contact with you.
“Of course, I can only do so much! Once they are aware of you in your daily life, it is up to you! If you are kind to them and treat them right, they will love you; if you ignore them or treat them bad, then all the magic in the world will not help you!
“Everyone has their own spirits, whether they know it or not, and they can help you as well. So I will also call your spirits and talk to them, right there in front of you. Maybe they will come to you in dreams and tell you things too, which will help you find the person you love. They will tell you how you must behave, the things you must change, and so on. Love is never one-sided, it is always a meeting of souls!”

Eileen Fleming asked:
[New Orleans, July 29, 2008] At the turn of the twentieth century as the palatial plantations up and down the Mississippi River became only a memory, thousands of former workers migrated to New Orleans as did immigrants, seamen, trappers, gamblers, hustlers, scholars and musicians. This convergence with the native population set the stage that birthed the free spirit of Jazz and opened a new frontier.
The Eagle Saloon, built in 1875 and known as the ‘delivery room’ of Jazz, had its roof blown off during The Storm of 2005. The second and third floors were ruined, but the original tin tile ceiling and Spanish tiled floors survived and the blues, the spirit and all that jazz re-ignites every Tuesday night lit by the New Orleans Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Blues and Jazz Band, featuring Guitar Slim, Jr., a showman extradonaire.
The son of Eddie “Guitar Slim” Jones, Jr.’s first release earned him a Grammy nomination. Last Tuesday night, Jr., along with Blues Boy George on lead guitar, Anthony on bass and Milton on drums, received multiple standing ovations during their three-and-a-half hour nonstop renditions of BB King, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ray Charles, Motown, Marvin Gaye, Prince, gospel and more, during a private party at the Eagle which was arranged as a thanksgiving service by Pastor John E. Pierre, of the Living Witness Church of God in Christ on Oretha C. Haley Blvd, a three minute drive to the Eagle Saloon at 201 South Rampart Street.
Pastor Pierre and many in the heart of the Central City neighborhood, once a haven for drug dealers and prostitutes, demonstrated their gratitude and love for two teams of volunteers who had come to work in the heat of July alongside recovering addicts to demolish the old so as to bring in new opportunities for the formerly homeless men who commit to a year long residential boot camp known as the Nehemiah Restoration Project, just one of many community outreach programs provided by Living Witness.
The teams of committed Christians came on their own dime from the Crossings Church in Clermont, Florida and Cedar Brook of Wisconsin. It was the first mission trip for the newly established Crossings, but some from Wisconsin were on their sixth and eighth work pilgrimage of service to a community that The Storm of 2005 wrecked havoc upon. The volunteers all work alongside the men in recovery who are now building a barbershop and beauty parlor next door to the Living Witness Church of God.
The regal and patient Pastor Pierre informed me, “The bottom line for us is getting families back together and in strengthening the family. We have found that the effects of Hurricane Katrina have become a unifying source. The churches in this neighborhood came together when this area became a ghost town. My family had been evacuated to Houston and it wasn’t until October 2005 that my Deacon and I were able to return through the back door; by coming through the West Bank, [the area was still under Marshall Law and no freedom of movement was allowed]. It was stinking smelly all over the block; our roof had been torn apart when a tree fell upon it. There was phone and electricity, but still no water.
“I received a call from the Federal Government Health and Human Services Department and was informed that a pre-Katrina grant for Compassionate Capitol had been granted. I had forgotten all about it!
“Half of our church membership has been displaced and decent and affordable housing is still not up to speed. Then there is that double edged sword of the tourism and convention concerns claiming New Orleans is back for they paint a false picture. The French Quarter and St. Charles areas where the tourists go, didn’t receive much damage, but where the people live, the community that is New Orleans is stuck in a time warp. Our Government did not keep its promises.”
After the levees broke and President Bush spoke in Jackson Square, it was lit up by a generator, and when he was through; boom, boom, out went the lights again!
Ask NOT what our Government will do for the under served people who are the spirit of New Orleans, but what we the people of these United States can do to help heal them.

[New Orleans, July 29, 2008] At the turn of the twentieth century as the palatial plantations up and down the Mississippi River became only a memory, thousands of former workers migrated to New Orleans as did immigrants, seamen, trappers, gamblers, hustlers, scholars and musicians. This convergence with the native population set the stage that birthed the free spirit of Jazz and opened a new frontier.
The Eagle Saloon, built in 1875 and known as the ‘delivery room’ of Jazz, had its roof blown off during The Storm of 2005. The second and third floors were ruined, but the original tin tile ceiling and Spanish tiled floors survived and the blues, the spirit and all that jazz re-ignites every Tuesday night lit by the New Orleans Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Blues and Jazz Band, featuring Guitar Slim, Jr., a showman extradonaire.
The son of Eddie “Guitar Slim” Jones, Jr.’s first release earned him a Grammy nomination. Last Tuesday night, Jr., along with Blues Boy George on lead guitar, Anthony on bass and Milton on drums, received multiple standing ovations during their three-and-a-half hour nonstop renditions of BB King, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ray Charles, Motown, Marvin Gaye, Prince, gospel and more, during a private party at the Eagle which was arranged as a thanksgiving service by Pastor John E.

Needless to say, Canadian dating free online services are cool! This you could find out anytime you browse through their various online dating websites. But then, did you ever that your perception on dating should always come first before reception of any services? Many are the times when we act very hastily yet so foolishly only to finish the race first but clashed in both body and in spirit. Online dating should be a race that you aspire to win but only in good shape. It should not comparable to gambling game where one bets with their friend about who seizes a stunning pal home rapidly, but rather a take-one-step-at-a time-process.
Apparently “free”is an adorable “catchword” among all human being around the world and the dollar-makers of this Canadian dating free online services had full knowledge of this when they decided to use it as an attention grabber. I am practically aware that you can not wait to sing in for this online dating but be wary of that curiosity to experience online dating; it might as well kill you like it did the cat. Well do not misunderstand my statements yet because I still need to emphasize the need to be the last in the race. Without any bruise mentally and physically you will take home a phenomenon partner you have always dream of.
It’s no debate that those Canadian dating free online services are captivating and obsessive simultaneously. By merely probing the sites within them, one could easily think not even once to sign in for contractual information to be part of membership. It’s like the inventors knew colors, texts, graphics that would exactly captivate their sites hence triggering insensible thinking and actions. You must know your priorities and perceptions right before even accessing any Canadian dating free online services to save your own skin from those scheming scammers.
Candidly, some Canadian dating free online services sites that have been doing impeccable job while others are scheming day and night to make easy money out of you. They trap you when you access their sites for the first time, with no prior knowledge to their operations. Their sites are absolutely eye-catching rather than eye-opening and so before realize what is happening, you will have already submitted your personal profile for approval. The receptors at the other side have you as an easy prey and they must play their cards right.
Just like I emphasized online dating should be a calculated step by step process and the rule should not be any different with Canadian dating free online services. These scam runners are sweet talkers and so they will call you, listen to you cautiously and whenever you express dissatisfaction with their outrageous fee, they are quick to cut down to a comfortable start so you do not refuse the offer. When you are hooked up with them, the problems start right away, after they match you with all wrong choices repeatedly yet asking for more dollar to select screening.
When you are about to give up they literally take you through a very rigid process of sending mails to main offices which they assert will be sufficient to clear up your membership continuation. Then a few months later they send you a pile of bills of supposed debt owed to their company and therefore end up clashed in both body and spirit. This is the reason I insist on taking one step at time so you do not get deceived on the long Canadian dating free online services journey.
