'Write it' seems to be the most powerful way

I wrote out a page in Invincible's 'Wouldn't it be fantastic if...' style, and I haven't yet reviewed it. (It is here on the computer desk in front of me, covered with another paper.)

Meanwhile I have designed and followed a kind of 'health protocol' of my own, that is turning out to be quite effective. I was 'stuck' and now I am less so.

Other thoughts are coming to me.

...When I am fresh, in the morning, I want to read the list and rewrite it from a more positive point of view, focusing the words more on what I prefer, not on what I want to overcome.

...I've just read several comments from people who are NOT into alternative health care or energy medicine, and found that they believe there is something special about writing down their objectives, and surprising themselves with progress in some areas, even when they had not been working at or thinking about those goals.

...Which leads me to a frequent question in my mind. If we focus on ailments, and post about them here, in the various forums, does that attract more of the same? ...More of the ailments we write about?

Or, do we instead simply attract friends who understand and may help us?

And, what do we want when we post? ...Which is a whole 'nother area of discussion.

I am fascinated by the value of individual words and phrases. ...Thinking that they almost stand alone.

One artist painted the F word hidden in a lot of paint, in bold colors...and hung the painting in his living room. People became uncomfortable there. I don't remember the details of all that happened, but events involved his wife, and close friends. I do remember that the painting hung there for a long time, was moved to different spots, and that controversy and losses came to pass before he finally destoyed it.

Graffiti has its own effects on people...even graffiti that has been painted over and you didn't ever see what was underneath. Is it just the memory of graffiti we have seen before that alters our mood? Or, could someone write very pleasant words, very small, in a public place, and affect passersby for the better?

Advertising is a whole category of writing, colors, pictures, and meanings unto itself. People even wear advertising on their clothes.

And subliminals abound. Hidden words, impressions, and meanings, often frightening, designed simply to catch attention.

If these things work to capture attention and alter people's moods, how much more effective they would be if they made people feel better?

For example, if an advertiser told only the truth, the whole truth, in an understandable fashion; sold only quality; reminded people of uplifting thoughts and feelings...and charged only a fair and affordable price...they would control their market, wouldn't they? In fact, I believe they would set new standard in all advertising. All other advertising would look shabby by comparison.

Why don't advertisers realize that and want to be that household name? I know, they don't want to spend the money to make that quality of product. Instead they want to spend fortunes on advertising lesser quality products...to beat out competitors.

Nowadays, advertisers think if they can make us laugh, or shock us, they have done a good job. Then they send their kids to private schools to avoid the kids damaged by their own advertising policies.

I wonder what would happen if more and more people wrote beautiful words, very very small, in hidden places, not attached to any product, or doctrine...a gift to the world.

...Words like 'Harmony'; 'Peacefulness'; 'Understanding'; 'Spring green'; 'Appreciation'; 'Well-being'; 'Contentment'; 'Sharing'; 'Thoughtfulness', and so on.

I wonder what would happen if we wrote beautiful words, very very small, in hidden places in our homes.

I would specifically avoid words that could be taken the wrong way and cause mental doors to be slammed against any suspected pushiness...just in case.

Free and open words...universal words, no matter how simple, would be best. 'Easy' might be one...'Safe' could be another...and 'Warmth'...even 'Tidy', and 'Fresh', might be helpful.

Couldn't hurt, I suppose.
