Tolerance in the Wake of 9/11

2010-09-11T11:14:00.000-07:00

Let's face it.....9/11 was a day that shall live in infamy in the United States of America. As well it should. Let us get a few facts straight at the outset. A small group of Al Qaeda extremists caused the death of over 3000 people by taking control of 4 flights, impacting both of the World Trade Towers, another into the Pentagon and the last impacted into a field after passengers forced it down.

I, as do most Americans, know where I was and what I was doing as my heart sank into my chest and tightened. I was heart sickened, shocked, angered and deeply saddened. I had also come to see the reality of life and that people that want to do horrific things could impact me and my family. So at what point did we also come to blame all of Islam and the Muslim population as a whole worldwide? Where is our logic and have we not seen this behavior before? No? Really?

I am not a warmonger. I am also not quick to judge others. Now let us look at some of the ridiculous behaviors that have happened since that day. I will stay with the most current. We are involved in 2 wars. Many more Americans and Muslims and others have died as a result with little truly accomplished. There has been an Islamic Community Center by the site for a very long time (more than a year) and now it is an issue. There are Christian Pastors wishing to burn copies of the Quran. Why?

Here is my view. I have met, and remain friends with many people of Islamic and Muslim faith. I am friends with many of varied faiths. It amazes me that we are taking a "holier than though" and "absolutes" approach. This was a very small group of extremists that caused this and other events. Jihad is an extremist view held by people of extreme beliefs.

If we look back on history we can find events that have been caused by virtually every faith that could be held in comparison and some even exceed this violation and the loss of life. The Crusades. The writing of the Maleous Maleficarum aka "The Witches Hammer", written by 2 catholic priests. This book brought about "the inquisition/the burning times". The ongoing battle over the Gaza Strip. The Mountain Meadows Massacre. At what point do we deem ourselves "holier than thou?"

I think we need to take a personal inventory,of sorts, and make a decision to try to be more tolerant of other faiths. We all realize that there are parts of other faiths that we disagree with, thus, the vast number of faiths that exist. Does this mean that we become elitist in our own faith? Where do we justify the "we are right and they are wrong" mentality? Or do we simply shut down that part of our intelligence and logic so we can rationalize our corresponding poor behavior?

Don't get me wrong........people that perpetrate these types of actions can, and should be, punished. But do we punish everyone that has a similar belief to the offenders? If we did that, we would not have a human race to worry about. At the very least we would have anarchy worldwide.

In closing I ask each and every one of my readers to stop and think. How many more people do we need to lose before we learn tolerance? Justice obtained through violence is not justice. It is illogical tyrrany and makes us no better than those we are persecuting. "An eye for an eye" means the perpetrators eye, not a mass group of people of similar faith. We need to begin thinking with our minds instead of our raw emotions before the world as we know becomes nothing but a war zone. Our survival depends on it. Tolerance means not forgetting but forgiving and understanding the source.

The False Dichotomy of the Modern Wiccan

2010-03-05T17:46:00.000-08:00

Dichotomy......what is it and how and why is it to be avoided? This is an interesting question so let us first define what it is and why my title differs from it's definition. Dichotomy is the splitting of a whole into exactly two non-overlapping parts. In other words, it is a partition of the whole (or a set) into two parts. Wow, now that's a mouthful and bends the mind a bit. (wickipedia.org)

So how does that fit into this article? Well, many of us in the Wiccan faith tend to separate our faith from our public profile as it were. What I mean by that is we tend to unintentionally, and sometimes intentionally, "hide" our faith from the public knowledge of our coworkers and even our friends and family. Now I know what you are saying. Well, by that definition how can that be a dichotomy? Well, it can't and that is the topic of discussion in this article.

Being Wiccan is like no other faith. And when you are Wiccan you are by all means all of the time.......a Wiccan. So why then do we create a false dichotomy by pretending NOT to be who and what we are? This is called a false dichotomous relationship. I am Wiccan through and through. I can never completely sever that fact, regardless of how convenient it might be. I am still Wiccan even when I do not share my views with my coworkers, friends and family.

My views have become a part of me. They are integrated into the way I think, behave and interact with others. I do this without even thinking. Now, for me......I am an openly Wiccan man. I make no attempts at hiding my beliefs or the very nature of them. By doing this I no longer suffer the negative affects of this false dichotomy. So, how does this make you suffer? How can you be open and honest and have negative physical and mental costs involved with that? You can't.

The reason I am discussing this is due to the number of emails and questions I receive in chat about "how can you be openly Wiccan? Don't you worry about what others might think?" The answer of course is not just no, but hell no! I am very proud of being who and what I am. It is no different than those of Christian faith standing up and declaring their devotion to Jesus Christ. We simply differ in our views and that in no way encroaches on their beliefs.

There are sooooo many Wiccans that still hold their heads in shame, and for what purpose? I, for one, am very proud to be a child of theLord and the Lady and make no apologies for it at any time, nor to anyone. Even if religion were not a protected right here in the United States of America I would die before I denounced my religious convictions. You could call this article a "call to pride".

When you chose, which I honestly believe this faith chooses you, you swore at initiation to always love the Lord and the Lady and to be reverant before them in all of their splendor......or words to that effect. To deny who and what you are is to deny them and all of nature which, consequently, includes each and every one of us and everything on and within the earth and space and time.

I urge you to avoid the pain and the anxiety that comes with trying to separate that which you were born to and that which you so deeply believe and realize that it is all for naught to try to deny it. It is a true false dichotomy and I am proud to stand with each one of my brothers and sisters of any and every faith. After all, we all may have our differing views on deity and the worship thereof, but inexplicably we all came from the same source. Let us all get along in love and peace and be who we are, proudly.

The Costs of Secrecy

2010-03-04T17:17:00.000-08:00

I received a message through skype earlier today and it got me thinking about how secrets affect our lives every day. Keeping secrets can be good sometimes, however, what are the side effects of doing so? Are they benign or do they work like a cancer on our very soul, eating away at who and what we believe ourselves to be?

I will attempt to examine this in some detail without completely boring you, my reader, or sounding as if I was coming to this topic in a victim mentality. When I was younger I recall doing things that I knew were against the rules or "taboo". I also remember well how I felt while keeping the secret bottled up inside. And, yes, there are some secrets that remain so today and are just better left in that little place we call the "skeleton closet".

I remember well the knots that welled up within my stomach, that wrenching feeling deep down that told me that I really knew that there could be hell to pay when it was discovered what I had done. Of course, looking back now, I fully realize just how trivial keeping the secret really was, and that keeping the secret really only made me sick and very on edge. Generally when the truth came out, discipline was swift and the pain generally subsided. I also now recall how much relief was there after it was out in the open and dealt with.

How many men and women have had adulterous affairs? And of those, how many of those people became mentally and physically ill from keeping the affair a secret? Most come into the light of day eventually and the damage is already done. Not unlike my example of a child hiding a secret, the physical and mental toll it takes is the same. It makes one edgy, knots well up in the stomach, and it is what will eventually end in divorce. In this situation why is it so difficult to just say "the marriage has issues" or the "marriage is in trouble" and deal with it prior to getting into that situation of lies and deceit?

This one leads back to my opening comment about the skype message I received. I grew up Mormon and made the transition to Wicca and that is already known. What I hadn't really stated prior was this. I kept it a secret how I felt and what I believed for many years. I knew what I believed but out of fear of retribution and ridicule, I kept it bottled up and it was like a time bomb. I always felt incomplete, unfulfilled and generally felt that I was being watched by everyone......although that was not, in fact, the reality of the situation. I functioned this way for years and when i finally "came out", while there was some of the ridicule and retribution, it was nowhere near at the level I predicted it would be.

I have been participating in a rating and comment group for business. We write articles, make blog posts, and make videos and then comment and rate one an-others work. At first I began by making them all about marketing concepts and how to self brand......all of the while hiding who I was "deep down". The knots began to well up and I felt again incomplete as a businessman and something had to give. I was always on edge, muscles tense, headaches and all of the usual side effects. And then..........it happened. An awakening of sorts. Why not mix my deep seeded faith AND my business?

Seemed like a great idea at the time so I went with it. Needless to say I am still "with it". So how does this come into play within this article? I had been hiding who I truly was and when I came out about it and began making videos about Wiccan products and Wiccan things......I suddenly received fewer ratings and fewer comments. I received comments on my Facebook profile about "what happened to you?" What happened WAS me and shall remain. I felt relief.

The comment sent to my skype this morning said,"If I'm being honest - the Wiccan Stuff isn't my bag either Nathan. I do my best to eat the chicken and spit out the bones in my interactions with EVERYONE. But some of the stuff on those sites (Images More than anything) are a bit against the grain. I would work on building YOU - rather than the Wiccan Beliefs. You'll get A LOT bigger audience!

While this comment is true, I would still not be ME in doing that very thing, and my Wiccan beliefs govern everything else in my life. To this individual I sent the response that I appreciated his opinion, however. ME and my Wiccan beliefs are one in the same. It would be like any other faith in business not being their faith while they are doing business. It would be a secret and therein a lie! Feels good to be ME instead of what others expect and the secret being out has made life so much more simple. Cost me friends? Not many, and those that decided to stop rating and commenting were never friends to begin with in the grand scheme of things. Life goes on in peace and business. Well, I am still here and still doing business.....just without the stress of "the secret".

Another big one, and one I encountered often, both as a paramedic and a religious leader, is premarital/teen pregnancy. This secret is a biggie and does so much damage mentally, physically, and spiritually, that I would be remiss if I did not address this secret and the aftermath here in this article. The fact of the matter is that some teens, regardless of religious upbringing, will engage in pre-marital sex. Of those some of the young women will become pregnant. The teachings within many faiths make this very taboo.

So what is the effect? For women that I have spoken to that have been in this situation it is very heavy to pack the weight of this secret around. They feel ashamed (although they shouldn't as nature happens), they feel that they have let their parents down or even let themselves down and that takes a tremendous amount of energy, physical and mental, in order to maintain the secret. They compound the morning sickness by holding the secret in and the knots and the vomiting associated with morning sickness, compounded by the lie, become excruciating.

Depression is not uncommon from what I have seen and many times these young women will seek counsel from religious leaders. Now this can be stressful as well because by sharing the secret with clergy, will the clergy divulge this "secret" to their parents who are generally also of this faith? And what then will be the resulting consequences of this decision? You can see the paradox involved here. Many will become depressed, some suicidal, and all over something, that while not necessarily planned, can be dealt with in an adult and loving manner.

I have seen many young women involved in a premarital pregnancy that have not kept the secret, and the results are never as grave as had the secret been kept. While some parents "freak out" and many actually go against their faith and try to convince the teen to abort, the majority do not and eventually accept the reality of the situation and again take on the role of loving and supportive parent. Secrets do damage my friends. Some damage even causes the loss of lives when in fact it shouldn't.

My question then is this. Do we keep secrets? Of course we do. However, at some point we must cease harboring secrets in order for us to truly be who we are and who we were meant to be. Ultimately it really doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, but what we ourselves think, and when we can accept responsibility for our own actions, behaviors and choices, how wonderful life can be. Life isn't always easy. life isn't always without stress and pain and all of the other human emotions that make us who and what we are. However, secrets make us DIFFERENT than who we really are and we must think about what the cost benefit ratio will be if we decide to keep a deep dark skeleton in that closet.

Be who and what you are. The God/Goddess didn't make junk, nor does deity intend for you to be miserable in order to placate or bow to the wishes of everyone else. We are all here for this short period of time we call life. We need to learn the lessons we are meant to learn, however they may present themselves, and act upon them for the benefit of ourselves and those we love and care about. I urge you to purge the negative influences of all of those secrets that you hold deep down inside and feel the freedom of just being proud of who and what you are as a fellow human being. In the end you will respect yourself much more and those around you, that truly care about you, will have more respect FOR you as well.

Until next time my friends, be kind to yourself, be honest and true to your nature and brightest blessings to you always. As always you may reach me privately by email at wiccanthings@hotmail.com

Toxic People & Relationships

2010-03-02T18:02:00.000-08:00

Are you a toxic person/personality? And what is even meant by that? A toxic person is one that is negative almost all of the time. This is the type that looks at a beautiful day and says "it could be nicer". We all have this type of personality in our lives now, or have in the past.

As it relates to business this is the individual that makes a million dollars and then complains about having to pay taxes.So what type of person are you? Have you ever been this way and then made the turn around? Let's face it, we all have our down days. Some just take it and let it roll off their shoulders and yet others take it to heart and those are the ones that I am writing this article for.

So let's evaluate the different types, and this is not all inclusive by any means, of toxic people in our lives:

1: The "naysayer". This type will argue, no matter what, with anything and everything that is said or decided.

2: The "nothing is good enough". This type will, no matter how great things are, find something to gripe about.

3: The "I'm not happy, so no-one else should be". This one is quite possibly the worst as they will always try to pull others down ino their depressed and negative state with them. This is one of the most devastating types to be involved with in our personal lives, and our business lives. (This type was the primary cause of my divorce)

4: The "the grass is always greener". This type always tries to beat the neighbor or the person competing with them in business and regardless of the level of their success continues to try to "one-up" everyone else. *This one can be healthy if kept in check It becomes unhealthy when our happiness depends on it.

5: The "if you are not with me, you are against me". This type believes that everyone should be as miserable as they are, and that is the natural state of things. This is very closely related to the type described in number 3. You will find that these all intersect.

6: The "I am always right and you are always wrong". This is what I call the narcissist. This type of personality really believes that they are always right and everyone else's opinion does not, and should not matter. This is a difficult one to deal with, however, I am about to go into some ways of dealing with all of these types as they all correlate.

That should be sufficient for now. As I stated, I am not by any means going to get them all. So how then do we deal with this type of personality and keep them from permeating our lives and our personality? I am going to be speaking from my experiences here. I am NOT a psychotherapist and I do not follow the DSM3 or the DSM4. Just for those that would be this type and criticize this article. LOL.

I have found that the easiest way to deal with the ones of this type of thinking in business is to NOT associate with them. Hmmmmmm. Well Nathan, that is easier said than done? Right? Not really. At any time did I say it was going to be easy? Well, no I didn't, and for good reason. It is neither easy, nor is it comfortable....for you, or the other person or people involved.

I personally, cut ties with any and all people that I do business with that behave in this manner. It is not always easy and it is by no means comfortable, so why then do I so readily do it? They will not be paying my bills or putting a roof over me and my families head. It is a matter of principle. Too bad, so sad.......NEXT!!!!

Now to the most difficult one. What do you do when it is family and/or close friends? There are a number of ways, and trust me folks I have tried many ways and they do not always insulate you from the affects of the behavior completely. Thus, the everyone has bad days statement earlier. We all have them. When I was married to my last wife, she was very negative. Nothing was good enough, no amount of money was ever good enough, what was for dinner was never good enough.......I think you get the idea here.

I must say this. I did not love her any less and this is where it gets a bit sticky. I noticed that this negativity was depressing me and it was affecting not only our relationship, but my relationships with everyone else. I ended up on an anti-depressant (probably the most over prescribed medication in the USA today) and knew that I didn't want to keep living this way. I knew I could not afford to continue for the sake of our son and my being able to support him.

I made the decision that it was best for the sake of my son's welfare, as well as for my own sanity, to end the marriage of almost 10 years. We tried counseling and for a short while things did improve but in the end the marriage was over. It was not an easy decision, however, was one of the best I have ever made. Now, to get into extended family and other friends. This is a bit easier. We have our interactions with our extended family and friends at our discretion. This one is controllable.

Just like in my business dealings, I NEVER make it personal. We cannot do it in our personal lives either, without becoming the way those we are dealing with are. I love my family and I love my friends enough that I choose to distance myself from the ones that are so negative that they affect my attitude and personality. This way we can remain friends and the love stays in tact.

The people I have been discussing are not "evil" people. They are not this way always by choice and too many factors play into them being the way they are and we must cut some slack without it infecting us. Toxic people are, in many ways, diseased. Whether it be by choice, upbringing or simply socialization. It is not for us to decide which of those was the cause.

We must simply choose our best course of action in order for us to live healthy and successful lives and to see that our children do the same. So what if our child is this way??? Then we better begin doing some soul searching, as it were, and find out why. After all, they learn from us and the people they associate with, and we have direct control over that as parents. Get them and ourselves help if necessary, but deal with it now and it is easier to change the negative thought process.

While this sounds like a bit of a disorganized rant I hope you have been, at the very least, able to stop long enough while reading this to notice those that are impeding your personal development in your personal life and in your business life by their negativity. I further hope that you are able to combat that negative influence in your life and become who you are meant to be.

If this helps you do that in your business life then you have a shot to be successful and I am happy for you. If this helps you in any way improve in your personal life then I am absolutely thrilled and honored to have helped you. And finally, if this is able to help lead you to help, and it assists in saving your marriage, and possibly your child from self destructive behaviors that could affect him/her? Priceless.

Reform negativity when you can, remove negative influences and thinkers if you have to, but remember one thing, only you have the power to change your thoughts and your actions for the better or for the worse and sometimes it just becomes habit and habits can be broken.

As always, if I can be of any help to you at any time please simply email me at wiccanthings@hotmail.com and may the Goddess bless and keep you always.

The Sociology of Human Behavior - External Influences on Perception of Others

2010-02-27T21:11:00.000-08:00

This evening I decided that I would try a small experiment to test the theory that we all tend to "judge" others based on appearnace and come to some conclusions about the way that person is from those perceptions.

For the past 6 months I have been network marketing and have had a rather conservative picture on my Facebook profile. Tonight I changed that to a photo that was of me 3 years ago when I had my Wiccan shop running full time. The Witches Haven in Cedar City Utah.

I was not so surprised to see what the result was. The immediate result was that I received comments of shock.....one even saying.......WOW! Others were less "shocked" and ranged from a thumbs up to "I didn't have any clue". This is not a negative thing and my theory was not to show negativity versus positive resulting reactions but to see raw reaction.....period.

I placed a status statement shortly after placing the picture on my profile that stated, "I changed my profile picture here to make a point. Whether you call your clergy Bishop, Father, Rabbi, or High Priest,etc.............never judge by the cover as we are peaceful and only wish to assist our fellow man."

I am happy to state that while my theory was proven that we all make judgments or we tend to have pre-conceived ideas of one another we also have the intelligence to think about these ideas and notions and make informed decisions about our final judgment.

I hope that we all will take the time to think about how we are judging others based on appearances only and that we will stop and think about all of the reasoning and conditions that played into the way they appear. I may have looked like a "hippy" to some. A "satanic" person to others.........neither of which would have been any where near accurate.

This article will be appearing in a post on my blog and by the time this is posted the picture on my FB profile will have been changed back. I neglected to mention that apparently it did have the affect that people were no longer friend requesting me and some chose to leave and that was also expected. I have left it on my blog as it portrays who I truly am.....away from the politics.....and out of the "lime light" as it were.

May we all be cautious about the way we are treating one another because of the language we may speak, the clothing we may wear, the creed we may hold ourselves to, and just treat one another with the respect that deep down we all deserve. In the end nothing else matters but the fact that we are all here on earth and we are all human and have feelings, emotions and frailties.

Until next time take care of yourselves and each other. Brightest blessings. )0(

Tattoo Designs (Nathan Jeffery)

2010-02-18T22:10:00.000-08:00

From The Desk Of Dean Cameron:
For more than 20 years of my life I have been obsessed with tattoo designs. And in all those years I have journeyed to literally hundreds of tattoo parlors all around the world collecting designs from local tattoo artists. I have gathered thousands of the most insane and unique tattoo designs by some of the most talented artists from all over the world.
The idea of sharing all these rare tattoos with the world didn't occur to me until I started surfing around the internet and realized that there were no decent tattoo websites that had anything near the quality that I had collected over the years. No wonder people have such a hard time choosing a tattoo design they are happy with!
I knew there had to be a better way...
So for many months I buried myself in a project to arrange my huge tattoo collection into a categorized directory. You will find tattoos of everything you can imagine, even the most fussy of my customers have discovered their perfect tattoo in my collection. Not only that but each tattoo design can be saved or printed and given to your favourite tattooist who will then give you the tattoo of your dreams.

Equal Justice Under Law.............REALLY?

2010-02-10T11:31:00.000-08:00

Today I am going to be talking about the statement in the title of course. "Equal Justice Under Law". For years we, as Americans, have thought that we all had equal protection under the law while knowing in our hearts that this was a false reality.
We watched the O.J. trials and the Michael Jackson trials and were held in awe at the results.
So why is that? Well this doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that there are those that HAVE and those that HAVE NOT. Those that HAVE are able to hire attorney's.....not just run of the mill legal counsel, but high priced and very well versed seasoned attorney's.
I recall watching as my ex-mother in law went into court for a DUI and seeing the prosecuting attorney and her public pretender, I mean public defender, out in the hall making a "deal". When they returned to the court room a deal had been reached and she was pled guilty and sentenced within minutes......at no time prior was she ever consulted.
So many have asked when I have told this story, "why didn't she fire him?" Or "why didn't she stand and demand that the plea be entered for not guilty?"
She was not guilty by the way.........the simple fact is the same reason so many other good people have been convicted for offenses that they didn't commit. She didn't KNOW what her rights were and she could not AFFORD to consult with a reputable and ethical attorney.
Sound familiar? Yes, I thought so too! What it really comes down to is justice for some. Many good people are taken into court and convicted simply due to ignorance of the law. That is not a valid defense according to the US Supreme Court.
So what is the solution? Ok. Here is the plug for my business and you will be as impressed as I was and see why I will NEVER BE WITHOUT MY MEMBERSHIP!
I became involved with this company 15 years ago for the first time and although I got into the business and then jumped out, I have maintained membership and always will.

Tattoo's - Beauty or ????????

2010-02-09T21:48:00.000-08:00

I had a friend approach me and ask me, Nathan, I know you have tattoos. What do you think of them. To this I replied that if they are correctly done they are great. Now with that said I continued to pass along to him that this is permanent and this should be carefully thought out and a design chosen that will reflect his personality and that he can live with forever.
You will see some words that are highlighted in here. These 3 sites are sites that I recommend that will have multiple patterns for y'all to choose from and these are well worth the investment.
I used patterns similar to these when I had my last one done and I was extremely pleased with the results.
Now let's get back to the discussion of beauty or???? My view is that tattoos can compliment the human body. There are arguments for both sides and they generally take a religious view when there is an argument against them.
I will not comment on that as I don't believe it is a "sin" to get them tastefully done on YOUR body.
Personally, I think if they become too gaudy or look "rough" then it really does detract and people that look like that tend to catch a label. However, labels are not as mainstream as they used to be. (biker,convict,etc.)
My last piece of advice for you is this.............get tattoos where they can be covered up. If you get them where they are ALWAYS visible then you run the risk of affecting your current job or future employment should you try to get another job. Both of mine are where they can be easily covered and are only visible when I where short sleeves and tank tops.
If I can be of any help to you please just let me know and I will gladly give you my opinion. I hope you will continue to tune in and read what I write here. I am always open to hear comments and suggestions.

Porn Blocker (Nathan Jeffery)

2010-02-07T23:55:00.000-08:00

My friends, I recently purchased this software for my computer when MacAfee and Norton were unable to block all of the pornographic material that was coming to my computer through the internet.
I am amazed at the quality and effectiveness of this product and just wanted to share it with you. I hope you will take a look and find this as useful and effective as I did.
I am a parent and this stops this garbage from being seen by my son. It has, in my opinion, more than covered the cost of the software.
From the Creator of My Porn Blocker:
"I am so confident you'll absolutely love my patented MyPornBlocker™ Software and find it's ease of use to
over-exceed your every expectation... that I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and let you try this award winnng, patented software for 60 days risk free.
If, at any time within your 60 day trial period, you find any unsolicited pornographic material on any computer my software is installed on ... I want you to let me know immediately and I will instantly refund every penny of your purchase price.
In addition, if you don't find MyPornBlocker™ to easily install and configure within 5 minutes... I've let you down and for that reason I want you to request a refund.
I've put 2 full years of my life into creating this software and I won't let you down. I personally use it to protect my family... and you can rest assured it will protect your family as well."
Martin Brendal-Creator of MyPornBlocker™
I believe whole heartedly in this product and I am always concerned for the safety of children everywhere. May your children NEVER have to see this garbage an may they never be solicited online as so many have already been.

Dealing With Law Enforcement (Nathan Jeffery)

2010-02-07T02:13:00.000-08:00

After having been in law enforcement, and currently serving as a correctional officer, I came to realize that there was a need for people to be educated on how to behave when confronted by law enforcement.
This is completely my opinion and does not reflect what your legal counsel might advise you to do if you have legal counsel.
When stopped do not do any of the following for your safety and the safety of the officer involved.
1: Do not get out of the car or run-you will get caught or "spook" the officer and it could end with injuries or worse to one or both of you. AND additional charges for you.
2: Comply with the officers orders-the majority of officers in the field behave in an ethical manner and will not violate the rights that they know you are entitled to.
3: Make no SUDDEN movements
4: Keep your hands in view AT ALL TIMES.
5: Wait for the officer to tell you what he/she wants you to get or do. And then comply. If it is unlawful then that can be sorted out in court.
6: DO NOT argue. You will not win and it may just get you into more trouble than if you complied.
7: Present any identification like your drivers license, insurance information, registration, legal shield card, and other identifying information in a respectful and courteous manner.
8: If you have something that you shouldn't don't lie about it if they will find it anyway (consult legal counsel as this can lead to legal issues) Silence does not equal lying!!!
9: If you possess a concealed weapon permit follow your local jurisdictions laws and as a general rule keep both hands on the steering wheel or in plain view and indicate that you are armed and have a permit and the location of the weapon. Follow orders AS GIVEN without resistance of any kind!
10: Behave in the way that you would expect him/her to behave with you. The majority of officers just want to do their job and go home safe to their families at the end of the shift. The majority are not "out to get you" or "messing with you for the fun of it".
11: Thank them for their concern and service. They do a very thankless job and hearing they are appreciated will go a long way in how the situation will end. Be genuine. They may very well save your life or that of a family or friend one day.

Identity Theft Awareness

2010-02-05T22:59:00.000-08:00

Under the federal Identity Theft Act, a criminal offense is committed if a
person knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority, a means of
identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or
abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or
that constitutes a felony under any applicable State or local law The
relevant section of this legislation is codified at 18 U.S.C. §
1028(a)(7)(fraud and related activity in connection with identification
documents and information). According to an analysis of the new law by
the United States Sentencing Commission:3
• Before passage of the 1998 act, the unauthorized use or transfer of identity
documents was illegal under title 18 of the U.S. Code, section 1028—which
included subsections (a)(1) through (a)(6). The unauthorized use of credit cards, personal identification numbers, automated teller machine codes,
and other electronic access devices was illegal under another section of
the U.S. Code—that is, 18 U.S.C. § 1029 (fraud and related activity in
connection with access devices).
• The addition of subsection (a)(7) to section 1028 expanded the definition
of means of identification to include such information as SSN and other
government identification numbers, dates of birth, and unique biometric
data (e.g., fingerprints), as well as electronic access devices and routing
codes used in the financial and telecommunications sectors.
• Under the Identity Theft Act, the new definition of means of identification
includes prior statutory definitions of identification documents.
According to the United States Sentencing Commission, a key impact is to
make the proscriptions of the new identity theft law applicable to a wide
range of offense conduct, which can be independently prosecuted under
numerous existing statutes. That is, any unauthorized use of means of
identification can now be charged either as a violation of the new law or in
conjunction with other federal statutes.

Network Marketing Thieves

2010-02-04T23:04:00.000-08:00

This is NOT my story. You have heard that before. I relay this story to you as an example of what can, and does, happen every day in our online society. Be Careful!
I had my first experience with online stealing yesterday morning. I received an email in my inbox thanking me for my purchase at a gaming community. I get a lot of bogus emails of that sort, and I checked with each person in my family, plus we dont gamble (it was for poker chips) so I wasnt too worried about it and deleted it, but just to be sure I went to my paypal account to see if it was true.
You guessed it, I had two withdrawals, one for $150, one for $50 and they were approved. I couldnt believe it. If this has never happened to you before, its hard to explain the feeling you have of being violated. My paypal is directly connected to my bank account, so they were getting into my personal life!
I immediately called my bank and alerted them and then I called paypal and they assured me that they would make sure everything was straightened out and made right.
Needless to say, I went to every website I use and changed my passwords.
I dont understand how or why these things happen, but its a very real thing and it could happen to anyone. If paypal is not secure, what is?
A friend of mine had a credit card charge recently that was the same type of thing. Another friend of mine had a facebook scam where emails were sent to her friends (as if they were her) and asking for money. And the night before my paypal incident someone else I know had the exact same charges from the exact same gaming community taken from their paypal account.
So friends, be very careful and take the following steps
1.do not use the same password everywhere and change it regularly, write it on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place
2.when you get an email regarding an online account or your personal information, NEVER click on the link. Close that window and open up a new window and go to the website that you know (for example, I did not click on any links in the confirmation email, I went to what I know is the paypal address.) These thieves can make the website look exactly like the one they are impersonating you wont be able to tell the difference.
3.call your bank, your credit card, etc and verify the incident with them. Use the number on your bank statement or your credit card, not a number in an email or on a website
I hope I can save at least one person from having their money stolen. I know how precious it is in this economy!

To your continued success,
Nathan Jeffery

Spyware and Malware (Security Tool)

2010-02-04T05:22:00.000-08:00

Security Tool is a malicious rogue antispyware application that makes use of false system messages in order to try and obtain your money. Security Tool will make use of many different deceptive methods in order to try to get you to buy the full version. You need to know that this is all one big scam and you shouldn't fall for any of it. Security Tool was created by the same group of malicious online hackers who created similar fake applications, such as System Security as well as Total Security 2009.Security Tool may gain access to your system with the use of certain Trojans as well as malicious websites.

Security Tool may go by the following names:
• SecurityTool
• Security.Tool

Security Tool may display some of the following symptoms:
• Your computer may become increasingly slow.
• You may get lots of system security notifications.
• Lots of annoying pop ups may haunt you.
• You may notice a fake scan which looks real.
• The possibilities are high that you will be asked to buy the full version.
• You will get fake scan result reports.

Security Tool will gain access to your machine, without your consent or knowledge. Once Security Tool has gained access to your computer, it is able to install itself onto your system. It may then make sure that it is activated each time you boot up your computer. You may see a fake scan that will look exactly like a real computer system scan. You will then receive scan report results, it is very important to know that these results are completely fake. When you are terrified, after being told that you have all types of threats on your machine, you will be given the opportunity to buy the full version for a small fee. This may promise to remove all your computer problems, but it again just a part of a fake scam.

Once you suspect that you may have Security Tool running on your computer, you need to remove it immediately. You have the option of the manual or the automatic removal process. It is imperative to be aware of the factor that the manual removal process is actually extremely hard to do and you run the risk of seriously damaging your computer, if you do something incorrectly. It is highly suggested to rather make use of the automatic removal method, where an antispyware removal product can do all the work for you. Security Tool needs to get driven away as soon as it gets anywhere near your computer!

The Power Of The List-Nathan Jeffery

2010-02-02T17:12:00.000-08:00

Do you lead a tribe?
Suppose for a moment you think of your customers or website visitors as a tribe. Perhaps youre the CEO of a Fortune 500 company how do you care for your tribe (customers)? Maybe you own a corner grocery store - do you take your
customers for granted?
Suppose you have a website or blog your visitors are your tribe how do you care for them? Do you care more about finding new customers/visitors than properly caring for those you already lead?
. Whether youre the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a blogger working to gain readers the power is in the list!
For too long, I have watched organizations destroy their tribe while naively wasting money to replace them.

Be Who You Are-Not What Others Expect

2010-02-01T22:30:00.000-08:00

I have to express myself on this subject. Many of you have seen me on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and, of course, here on my blog. Many of you have viewed my videos and I have received comments ranging from "Bravo" to "Unprofessional". Of course those that are being critical are the one's that send their comments to my inbox.
So why do I feel it important to dedicate a post to this subject? Because I am training people not only in network marketing, but also in the area of "self worth" and "self esteem".
During my years in network marketing I have seen the "hype" and the faux, which means fake, in French.....fake cars and fake homes and fake cash and virtually every variant of those ploys used to suck people in and get them to buy either into a company or into a product. That is not business in my book......THAT IS FRAUD!!!
And they do this to their "friends". I do not do business that way because I have a firm conscience and I want people to like me and trust me and know that I am worthy of both of those!
I am who I am and I make no apologies to anyone for that. In my training videos you will see that I am funny when I need to be and serious as well from time to time. That is the genuine me. You will not see fancy suits and cars and houses. You have all seen enough of that to last a lifetime, as have I.
I liken it to a saying from the movie Lethal Weapon in which it is stated by Actor Joe Pesci, "they screw you at the drive through".
Marketing is the drive through in this case and that saying should not have to be associated with the industry of network marketing if we are acting in an ethical manner.
Like me, love me, or hate me........I am irrefutably one thing, ALWAYS ME!BE YOURSELF AND NOT WHAT OTHERS EXPECT YOU TO BE!!!!!!! Please feel free to leave me your thoughts below in my comments section and get in contact with me if you would like. Join my blogs followers and receive updates as they are posted. Now back to making my next video....Nathan Jeffery on the Power of the List.

How Not To Fail (MLM Business Opportunity)

2010-02-01T03:17:00.000-08:00

http://blastofftojustice.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-not-to-fail-mlm-business.html
You are surfing the web and you see another ad telling you how to make a ton of money over night, Join Now. So what do you do? You join that business in the hopes that all that money they said was going to fall in to your lap overnight does! So you try it for a week or two and nothing happens. You end up feeling like you have been scammed and the company sucks! So whos to blame? Is the ad lying? Is the company a fake and maybe no one really told you what you where getting into?
For what every reason it could be, dont feel bad you are the majority! Now its time to turn this around. Its time for you to find a online job that will work for you. Its time to find out what it takes to have a online business. Its time to move out of the majority, and into the Top 5%!
1. Avoid Scams
I know this one is hard to believe, but there are people online trying to rip you off! So you have to be really smart with your credit card. When you find a business you like, do your research on it. Google it, Youtube it, Wikipedia it, dont stop researching it until you have a good felling about it! Dont be afraid to ask people you know about it.
2. Get On The Phone
I know in my business I put my phone number on all my WebPages and e-mails. If someone wants to call me they can at anytime. Anyone who is a good leader, with a good company, will be doing the same. If you cant get on the phone with someone, dont join that company!
3. Its Never That Easy
Im sorry to break this to you, unless you win the lottery you are not going to make a million dollars over night! It takes work to make money and if ads are telling you different, just move on to the next one!
4. Your Mindset
Do you really want your own business? I know you want to make more money, everyone wants to. But you must be in the right mind set of owning your own business. Its a lot of work and the only way it is going to work is if you make it. I think out of all the tips this might be the one that holds everyone back.
5. Find A Leader
If you are joining a business look for a good leader to help you out. In most MLM companies you work with a sponsor and that sponsor is your mentor/teacher. Its really simple, if your teacher sucks how are they going to help you! Get on the phone before you join and really ask them question see if they can help you out! Go check out there Blog, Facebook, and Twitter pages. Make sure they are a good fit for you!
6. Dont Be Pressured
When you are out there looking for that one good opportunity, that one online job that is perfect for you and your lifestyle, dont let people push you into it to fast. If you are talking on the phone to them, and they keep trying to pressure you into joining their business, you dont have to do it right then and there. If you need a couple days to think about it tell them. If they keep trying to push then just push back and be strong. Take those days because you dont want to end up with something that just wasnt right for you.
7. Focus
Focus on one company and only one company! Im not talking about putting your job or your day-to-day life on hold. Im talking about once you have committed to a business, dont be clicking on ads telling you about the best new thing. The best new thing is the same thing you where looking at last week. If you keep jumping company to company you will never get off the ground.
8. Give It Time
You must give your business time to grow. If you think it is all going to come together in a week you are going to be disappointed. Give your business a few months and really give it a solid chance.
9. Hold Yourself Accountable
Its your business and only your business. Its up to you to make it work. If you want to only work at if for 30 minutes a week then thats the results you will get. If you put 10 hours a week into you will have more results. At the end of the week you answer to yourself and no one else!!! http://blastofftojustice.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-not-to-fail-mlm-business.html

How To Manage Your Time In Network Marketing

2010-01-31T03:15:00.000-08:00

One of the hardest parts of working from home is one that many people don't realize. It's managing your time. Sure, working from home can be a godsend. After all, what's better than working around your own schedule and spending more time with the family? But sometimes, these things can actually interrupt you. The family still needs taken care of, groceries bought, errands run, and dinner made. The best thing to do is follow a few tips to managing your time better.
To start, figure out what time you can get the most done, and when you feel the best during the day. Some people are morning risers and feel great at 6am. Still others feel their best after a long morning and leisurely lunch. Use whatever time works for you as the time to do your work.That way you can do the best job possible.
If you have children, try to make this their time to do activities that you are not needed for. Set up the game system, pop in a favorite movie or get out the art kit. If you have older kids, enlist their help in watching the kids while you work. You should also try to teach your kids to not disturb you when you are trying to work. Unfortunately, this is probably not going to happen as well as you would like, but trying to set some boundaries may help a little.
When you figure out the times that you can get the most work done, set your schedule and make a list of what you need to accomplish. By having your work outlined for you, right in front of you, you can focus more on getting it done. Stick to this schedule until it is completed. If you work on the computer, do not allow yourself to get distracted by unnecessary things. So many men and women who work at home on the Internet let themselves wander off to browse the news, message boards, chat rooms, etc. If this is a problem, designate a time for your day to do only this. That will help you feel that you are not missing anything.
After you have accomplished what you planned to for the day, take an extra few minutes to write up an outline of your next day's work. That way, when you get the time again, you can jump right in. Following these few simple tips will allow you to manage your time the best for your home based work.

The State of the Economy and the Human Mind

2010-01-30T14:30:00.000-08:00

I am an online marketer. While it is not my main source of income (still serve the State of Texas as a correctional officer) it has given me an option to make more money.
Now......regardless of what you feel about online marketing, network marketing/mlm....it is a fact of our society and of our current economy that we MUST have multiple streams of income.
I have caught alot of heat from numerous different sources regarding what I do. This may be because of past indiscretions by some very unscrupulous people. I must tell you that I honestly cannot worry about what everyone else thinks of my choice.
I have to point out that most of these same people are on FB playing mafia wars, and farmville, and farmtown and yoville. These same people complain that they don't have time or money freedom and yet.....will criticize me when I am working hard at networking and making an income online. I am an honest marketer because I am an honest person. I do not make any apologies for what I do.
So the title is The State of the Economy and the Human Mind. This is how this all relates in this discussion. When did we as a society learn helplessness and self pity? When did we as a society "unlearn" the work ethic once passed from father to child?
My grandfather taught me long ago that the world never meets you half way and that you must work as hard as you can regardless of the economic status in the country. Until we can do that as a society and get away from the welfare mentality, we will not see an economic recovery.
Am I going to get wealthy doing what I do? Probably not. The odds are stacked that I won't. That, however, will not stop me from trying to make money helping others succeed in business and in life in general.
I welcome your ideas on this topic. I realize that this isn't a scientific study by any means.....but then again.....even economists struggle at solving our societal economic problem that we are currently in.
I will continue doing what I do....and most will continue to do what they do. Idle time is wasted time and I refuse to surrender to anyone or anything! If you would like more information on the most prolific author on personal development of our time please simply click the link on the left side of my page under Sponsors and it will take you to the official Jim Rohn store. Thanks for reading and, as always, I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Network Marketing Exposed-The True Story

2010-01-30T00:31:00.000-08:00

This is just some insights I have learned from my 15+ years of being involved with the network marketing industry. While I am still involved, my knowledge has grown by leaps and bounds within just the past few months. My failures of the past can be your saving grace if you are currently looking at network marketing opportunities. some may be angered by what I say. I don't honestly care because I would rather be content with the truth than believe a lie and pay the price!!! I may save you from making a poor choice....and maybe not......but you will not regret or soon forget the information contained on this video.

When The Earth Shakes Our Foundation

2010-01-23T19:53:00.001-08:00

Tonight I am going to write about my thoughts on the latest double tragedy that has happened in Haiti. I first heard of the earthquake and the massive damage and loss of life the morning after the initial quake.
I followed the news carefully and was shaken emotionally by the sight of the massive destruction and video of attempted rescues and orphanages filled with sick and injured children. It certainly looked like a war zone.
I began to wonder why, when we have natural tragedies like this in our world, we see mass fundraising begin from the private sector. I don't wonder this because I think we shouldn't be doing this. Don't get me wrong. I whole heartedly support any and all aid we can give being brought to the Haitian people.
But where is the government? Our government! I watched as dignitaries from the USA flew into Haiti to make their appearances and "pose" for the cameras and I had to ask myself, "how many people could be helped with what their clothing or the flight to get them there cost?"
We need to take a serious look at how we are conducting our business both here at home and abroad and this taxpayer thinks we should be getting our troops and assets out of harms way in war and use them for saving lives.

Beating Bankruptcy!!!

I feel absolutely compelled tonight to write about the latest "woes" of our economy. I would have preferred to say the state of our economy, however, it would not convey the absolute gravity of the situation.
We all know that times are difficult and everyone I know, even those of us in network marketing, is struggling in some form or fashion. It is easy for us to become discouraged and give up. I am here to say that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
There are many opportunities out there that are trying to get what money you have. I am on here trying to make money.......that is the idea of marketing any product/company. With that said, I have discovered what I believe is the best way to accomplish my goals of a residual income.
We all know that marketing one business/product is going to be at best.........sloooooooooow. We have all heard that in order to succeed in this industry you MUST have multiple streams of income. Over time you are going to see that I will be representing a number of different companies. I have done so intentionally.
Let's face it........not everyone is going to be interested in any specific product line or opportunity and in todays market you better have some diversity or YOU WILL LOSE CLIENTELE. Say it with me here folks..........BANKRUPT!
Please continue to look in on this blog from time to time. Express your concerns and feel free to give me feedback. I am asking for it freely. In order for me to improve I need to see it through anothers eyes. Together we can all make it through this "recession", divided......we may very well see another depression.

I recently placed a comment in my Facebook status and this is what I am going to be discussing in this post. When I was young I had the advantage of getting to observe my grandfathers (Jeffery and Rowlette), as well as my father. I observed everything they did. The way they related to their family and more specifically their wives. I also observed their work ethic......and of course that is the context of my blog here today.
I have noticed through the years that we have FAILED to teach our children the value of a fairs days work for a fair days pay. At some point the majority of our children learned that the world owes them a living.
Now, let me back up here a second and explain how that happens. I observed my parents and grandparents and that is where I learned my beliefs on the majority of life. The rest I learned from life experience. So where did our children learn this attitude of "I am owed something?"
FROM US!
How then, do we reverse this thinking. There are many ways, however, the first needs to be adjusting the way we think and act ourselves. The other is trying to re-teach and when and if that fails we must back off and let life be the teacher....and life has a way of being very "to the point" when it comes to success and failure. Good luck to you all and I wish the best of success to everyone in every facet of our lives.

Today I am going to be speaking about "multiple streams of income". We all know that the economy is having it's largest struggle since the great depression. So what do we do about it? Well, we can be like the vast majority and gripe and complain and do nothing. We can also choose to sit on our butts and feel sorry for ourselves until unemployment runs out. We have many possible choices. As I looked at this issue I evaluated what my choices were. I came up with a few options and determined what fit best with my personality and goals.
I do not like circumstances or temporary situations determining my long term path. I have caught grief for the business ventures that I represent online and in the normal world. Perhaps you are even one of those that I have prospected. Now, look at the "why" I am doing this. It has been proven through many years of trial and error that those that excel and succeed are those that are able to step past all of the negative sentiment and be in the here and now. The number one way to fail is to quit! Some may say that "he's annoying me with all of his advertising" or "it's another pyramid scheme/scam". Well, number one I do not believe either of those statements to be valid and second, I have a positive cash flow in this down economy without resorting to government programs and the like. Is it worth it you might ask? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. I must tell you that I tested my PrePaid Legal membership once again today. After 3 months of trying to get a plane ticket refunded and only receiving a voucher worth $50 less than I paid, I called the provider firm and received a call back from an attorney in 23 minutes. (they had up to 8 hours to respond by contract) Now $303.52 isn't a huge amount of money, but, when my membership costs me less than that per year it has already covered that cost and then some. It is so nice to be able to tell someone I am handing this over to my attorney.....AND MEAN IT!
Between this incident and my identity almost being stolen and caught before it was......Well, sufficed to say, I will be a dedicated member and associate with PPLSI for the rest of my life!

Reflections!

I look back on everything I have ever done and wonder how I have lived this long. LOL. Isn't it amazing that we can suffer catastrophic loss and still function? I have chosen in my life to help those less fortunate have an easier time getting through the difficulties of life. For my trouble I have taken some heat from some and received praise from others. The key is to make sure that praise is not what you seek when helping others and the negative comments??? Well......let's just say that there are those that are going to be miserable regardless of our actions.
Do the best you can to help your fellow man. This is something I learned from my grandfather many years ago. I always wondered what he got out of it and now that I am older I see the wisdom that those teachings held. May we all strive to be a little better, work a little harder, and pick people up when they are down!
