Jeremiah 29:7 The Word of The Lord

And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

Regardless of religion, can a holy book be used as a standard by which to self-monitor one self? I believe so.
 Can a Father use it as a 'go to' guide that can guide the mind, as well as help the Father guide the mind of their children? I believe so also. 

Can prayer be the guide? What is to be said about the growing prevalence of studies showing that prayer heals people from disease? I believe so and science is showing so. See here:  http://w3.newsmax.com/newsletters/mhr/issues/prayer02/mhr_prayer02_2.pdf and here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-schiffman/why-people-who-pray-are-heathier_b_1197313.html


Praying brings about peace in the heart and mind in a very immediate way. This manifests an immediate metacognitive slide into an attitude of lovingkindness, gratitude, contentment, emotional rest, and peace, regardless of one's immediate circumstances. I believe that Father's can take time to read a short, stomachable portion from their holy book each day.

Directions:

 Start small. Consider viewing your holy book as a standard by which to help guide your family. Make it a point to bringing the family into prayer to create the metacognitive mindset. Presciption to see effects in kids: 2-5x's/day and definitely always at meal time. Gauge progress after 30 days of this. Then keep going.  Here is a link on Daddy praying poems to lead the family daily:


Daddy's can be Lovingkindness facilitators aside from being the traditional physical providers for the family. The whole electromagnetic energy thing seems to be like icing on the cake when one realizes the power of practicing good values, like giving thanks in regular words before each meal in a God-focused way. Over the long term your kids will have an added measure of resilience, a strong sense of family, and have increased emotional control due to living a prayer-filled life. 

So have we found another executive function skill tool to put in the tool box that is better than gold (even at these prices)?

The Gaslighting of our Constitutional Understanding & The Original Purpose of the U.S. Government

By
John Adams   “I have found by Experience, that in this Age of the World that Man has an awful Lot, who “dares to  love his Country and be poor.” Liberty and virtue! When! oh When will your Enemies cease to exist or to persecute! Our Country will be envied, our Liberty will be envied, our Virtues will be envied. Deep and subtle systems of Corruption hard to prove, impossible to detect, will be practised to sap and undermine Us and the few who penetrate them will be called suspicious, envious, restless turbulent ambitious—will be hated unpopular and unhappy. But a succession of these Men must be preserved, for these are the salt of the Earth. Without these the World would be worse than it is.” Letter To Abigail Adams, from John Adams, Paris, April 16, 1783 Few generations, said George Washington and John Adams, are fortunate to produce brilliant minds and hearts that are selfless. How shall we fare in our present? What is the path of national political unanimity that ...

Graciousness Through Christ Jesus Who Is Written In Our Hearts

By
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.” The Epistle To The Hebrews Chapter 13:8–10 Having Faith, hope in what is not seen; yet, through the Word of God, ‘faith’ having greater meaning, hope through the Word and the gracious power of the Spirit of the Word, Truth & Righteousness, brings one; that is to say, translates one, from the kingdom of spiritual darkness: a life, replete with an attitude, perspective, reasoning, and quality of life that is intrinsically a life of scarcity, vanity, gain & advantage, strife, and selfishness, into THE kingdom of God; the kingdom of Light; an abounding reality overflowing with God, and the fruit of his Spirit: joy, peace, faith, gentleness, temperan...

Being a Maverick Thinker with Your #ExecutiveFunction Skills

By
Once we understand what our executive function skills are, we move to streamlining how well we use them, how they show up/ don't show up in our life. As we move through our understanding of how to better manage our ideas, feelings and actions, can their be soft and hard forces which are orchestrated with the focus of instilling in us..how to think...how to act... how to respond? Or is 'man' so free in mind, so independent, and so ahead of these forces that he is not affected, not thwarted in his goals, and not redirected easily? If we are to polish and tone these executive function skills so that we can harness the ability of our mind (a tool) to facilitate successful outcomes for ourselves, should we not start by bringing a critical eye to why we think the way we think? Is this not metacognition, or how we use our thought process to approach the world?  Using systems theory, any system that is accepted into a larger system invariably begins to affect tha...
