No Results - Guaranteed!
Path to Nowhere
This is a nothing-special offer, available
for an unlimited time. If you don’t act right now, you will
receive the ordinary No Results™ package, made up of
nothing. That’s right, absolutely nothing, right in the
comfort of your very own home. Not only that, but without doing
anything more, you will receive not one, not two, not three, but
infinitely many occurrences of No Results™.
How much would you pay for such an offer? Many of our competitors would charge several hundred dollars for such a package, and even make you travel hundreds of miles to a retreat center in the process. One even charges as much as $50 thousand http://www.bigmind.org/BigHeartCircle.html. But before you make up your mind, we will also throw in an unlimited supply of FailureŽ, for those of you who aren’t yet over being motivated.
Now how much would you pay? Our price? That’s right, absolutely, positively … free. And no shipping or handling costs, or other hidden fees. In fact, our No Results™ package, together with an unlimited supply of FailureŽ is delivered to you instantaneously. How many of our competitors can make that claim?
In addition, if you fail to receive No Results™, we guarantee with 100% certainty that any results you do produce will eventually disappear completely. That’s right! And we’ve never been wrong in over 160,000 years of human life on planet Earth.
But, wait! There’s no more.

I'm NOT done with my mask!
But, I'm no longer certain that it's me.
Hey LOOK!
What's behind here is really sweet.
Love, Mark
ps I remember how my Dad would practically sing "Smell that
fresh air," whenever we were out driving in the country side
and the smell of manure would announce it's presence. I see
now that it was presence he was celebrating.
I remember one of the first drives up a mountainside in his
4-wheel drive International Harvester. I wish folks
would't drive off road, but I remember rescuing some folks who
got stuck in the mud. We used rope and all 4 wheels, and they
came out of the muck.
I also remember being saved by a young man and his 10 year old
son, when I was of college age. My Dad had bought a
"force 5" sailboat, and we took it out for it's maiden
voyage on the lake in Columbia, CT. We were half way across the
lake (a mile or so from home...) when a wind gust pushed us over
and the sail pointed straight down. The design wasn't so great,
so my Dad had to dive under the boat and pull the sail down the
length of the mast, (which was pretty tall) to get it loose
before we could turn the boat over. He was pretty tired by the
end of that task, and a young man and his kid came by just at the
right time in a canoe. They towed us home, and even as a young
twenty year old, I could see the glow in the kid's eyses as they
rescued us.
I remembered the truck thing.
I also remember (flash back!) during those rides with the manure
event that sometimes Dad would just drive past our driveway on
the way home. We would shout "YAY!!" because that would
mean we were heading to Shady Glen, which sold the very best ice
cream of this lifetime!!! (not to mention the cheese burgers
which I mostly shared with my Mother...)

My point is that that sweetness is the core of who we all are.
Yum!!!
ps my Dad now has pretty advanced Alzheimer's, and I plan to
visit this autumn to share with him how sweet we both are.
pps I know he already knows it through and through, but I'm
afraid he might be fooling himself into thinking he's forgotten
it like so many facts and physics strategies.
ppps He hasn't and neither have you.

There are many
delivering the message
To do nothing, to be still and silent.
Silence comes before initiation
And exists after initiation.
Because silence exists after initiation,
It is very attractive
To those who seek initiation.
Initiation silences you.
A certain presence silences you,
But that is not necessarily initiation.
It is a preparation for initiation.
Initiation itself is thunderous
Even though it may last a fraction of a second.
It may even be imperceptible!
It is preceded by a quality of silence
And followed by another quality of silence.
One cannot seek initiation,
But one can achieve silence and, in that way,
Invite initiation.
