Get Paid to Do What You Love

Have Fun, Make Money - A little creativity can go a long way toward helping you make money doing things you enjoy. Take a look at some of the suggestions here, then think about ways you can get paid to do what you love to do.
Get paid to shop - Mystery shopping is a great way to make money in your spare time by providing valuable customer service feedback to businesses. It's flexible and fun, and just about anyone can do it. The most important quality you need is to be reliable. It also helps to be observant and have good writing skills. Mystery shopping is done around the world, so there are probably mystery shops being done in your neighborhood right now. For more information, get a copy of The Mystery Shopper's Manual at http://www.idealady.com/. The book includes a list of 150 companies hiring shoppers across the US and Canada and around the world, along with lots of insider tips.
Get paid to talk - You've seen those people handing out samples in the grocery store or demonstrating a product at the home show. They get paid to do that, and you can, too. To be good at this, you need an outgoing personality. You have to be willing to speak up and get people to try what you're offering, take a coupon, or watch your demonstration. You can find these jobs by watching the help wanted ads in your local newspaper. For more information, see http://www.narms.com/.
Get paid to party - Direct sales companies, such as Tupperware, Pampered Chef and others, offer a great way to make extra money or launch a lucrative new career. You get paid to go to parties, do product demonstrations and take orders. You set your own schedule, so you can fit work into your life, not try to squeeze life in around a job. For more information, see the Direct Selling Association at http://www.dsa.org/.
Don't want to be a sales representative? You can get free products by hosting a party in your home. Look for a local representative in your phone book and ask how you can earn free products by hosting a party.
Get paid to be in the movies - You don't have to live in Hollywood to be an extra in a movie or TV show. Your city or state probably has a film commission where you can get information about upcoming productions. Do an Internet search for "film commission" and your city or state to find them. My local film commission regularly lists opportunities to be an extra in movies or TV shows, be a crew member on an independent film, or even to get paid to be in the audience of a TV show.
Get paid to drive - If it seems as if you are always in your car, or your car is often parked in a high-traffic area, you can use your car to make money by getting it painted with an ad. Advertisers look at what kind of car you drive, its condition, where and how much you drive, how many people see the car when it's parked and other factors when choosing cars for these promotions. If you and you r car are what they're looking for, they will pay you to show their ad on your car. (More info: http://www.autowraps.com/)
Get paid for your opinions - Participating in focus groups and other market research doesn't provide regular income, and there are often limits on how often you may participate. However, I've got lots of opinions, and I'm always happy when I can get paid for them! I've been paid for opinions on music, clothes, and even the scent of a laundry product. You can increase your chances of getting selected by registering with market research companies. Check your phone directory or the local mall to find one in your area.
There are also many places online where you can get paid to write opinions or reviews, or to fill out surveys. Make sure you understand how you will be paid before spending a lot of time on this. Many sites pay in credits that can only be redeemed with them, but some pay in cash.
Get paid to do your own thing - When you can make money doing something you love to do, it doesn't feel like work at all. My main career involves speaking and writing, both things I enjoy. I've also been paid for my opinions, made money as a mystery shopper and been a movie extra! Use your imagination to find ways to make money while doing what you enjoy. I call it "Solo-reneuring" and that's how I've made my living for more than eight years. Do you love animals? Start a pet sitting or dog walking service. If you enjoy crafts, dance or playing an instrument, you may be able to teach a class or offer private instruction to people who want to learn what you know. For more information about Solo-preneuring, see http://www.idealady.com/solo.htm.
General information - When considering any of these opportunities, make sure you understand what you will be asked to do and how you will be compensated. Then you can decide if it is worth your time and effort.
Be c areful about paying to be listed in data bases. Some companies charge you to apply with no guarantee of work. You may be paying for a legitimate opportunity, or you may just be saying goodbye to $20 or more. Find out what you will get before paying a fee.
You probably won't get rich doing these things, but you can get paid to do things you enjoy. Even if you don't make a million dollars, your life will be richer for the joy and satisfaction you get from your work--and you'll have at least a few extra dollars in your pocket!

An Exploration Of Reality

The Worlds Of The Shaman -
Shamanism is not a system of belief or faith, it is a system of knowledge, and is directly experienced first hand by the senses. The world that Shamans work in is not a consensus reality, i.e. what we have agreed is reality. The Shaman sees i.e. experiences with all the senses. The Shaman is the mediator between the ordinary world and an alternate reality.
Shamanism offers a way for people to wake up to their potential, and begin to explore their spiritual relationship to the universe, to other forms of life, and to each other. The experiences which come from shamanism help a person to evolve a deeper bond and respect for all of creation, and from this perspective one is more likely to lead a life that enhances life, with an emphasis on harmony and balance, and which encourages understanding and optimism. The Shamanic path is a path to experience this expanded view of universe.The origins of shamanism pre-date recorded civilisation and the earliest findings date back forty thousand years. The word Shaman originates from the Tungus people of Siberia, it means One who sees , and I would like to add to this as someone who sees with the heart . This brings us to one of the most important characteristics of shamans, that they are masters of energy and of the life-force which moves through the human body and all of creation. They know that there is energy normally invisible which connects all that exists, and they live with the knowledge of this energy and how to use it. This concept of the inter-relationship and understanding that man is a part of nature, not separate to it, a part of the connecting energy has been expressed in many ways and over many cultures, unfortunately not in ours.

As Chief Seattle said in 1855 in his address to the American Congress;What befalls the Earth befalls all the sons of the Earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web he does to himself. As the Siberian shamans say;Everything that is, is alive. One of the other important characteristics of a shaman is that a man or woman who journeys into other realities to obtain hidden knowledge and wisdom on behalf of others i.e. in service to the community.Shamans are masters of altered states of consciousness in which the normal rules of Newtonian three-dimensional existence are broken, and in which travel to other worlds, pre-cognition, distant seeing are all possible. To put another way, the shaman travels outside of time.Today shamanism survives on all inhabited continents in less developed regions in spite of the constant pressure of Western materialism, and the treatment of the Earth and nature as something to be dominated and exploited.Shamanism is a practice shared by peoples the world over with an underlying cosmology that cuts across cultural differences and customs. There is a common core, and when allowance is made for climatic, cultural, and geographical considerations there is a common experience. To illustrate this, a shaman from the frozen tundra s of Siberia may not be familiar with the symbols of a shaman from the rainforests of South America, but he or she would certainly recognise the methods and techniques that are being used.Contemporary shamanism is a path, a way, that we ourselves can be aware that we are a part, a strand in the web of life, and not outside of it.

This path can lead us to experience in a practical way the nature of reality, and exceed our perception of the limits of reality. Shamanism is currently enjoying a revival in the West, one of the factors in this is the re-discovery of health techniques that actively recognise and use the mind and spirit of the individual to help healing and maintain wellness. Many of these methods and the knowledge underlying these are known in ancient shamanic practices which have migrated in to Western society. Increasing numbers of people are seeking and finding solutions to their health problems, whether defined as physical, mental, or emotional. Many shamanic principles are widely used in holistic healing centres and practices.Another factor in the revival of shamanism is that we ourselves as individuals can experience the inter-connectivity, the intricate web of life that unifies all things. Shamanism provides tools and techniques to help you become your own spiritual authority. By journeying to the other realities, extending the perception of perceived reality, individuals can start to see, feel, or sense the one-ness of all things. These new insights and understandings come from within you, and from the teachers and counsellors in these other realities. This is an experiential process, and this means that you know for yourself that these experiences are valid. This is the meaning of a spiritual democracy.This expanded vision of life, can touch our heart, adding power to our walk in life, and we can move into a harmony and balance with nature, the Earth, and all living things. This not only changes our life perspective, but can also have a beneficial influence on all others, the community around us, which these days (whether we like it or not) is a global one.

The shamanic path is a way to transformation, a personal, and subjective experience to an expanded awareness of this great mystery we call life. Much of our universe which is hidden can be explored, a universe which is known mainly through myth and dream.

Misunderstandings about the Law of Attraction

David Hawkins

M.D. (born June 3, 1927) is an American psychiatrist, mystic, author and controversial spiritual teacher in Sedona, Arizona. He is best known for his book Power vs. Force, in which he writes that applied kinesiology can distinguish the truth or falsity of any statement. He directs the non-profit Institute for Advanced Spiritual Research Inc. and operates Veritas Publishing to publish his books and seminars.

Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

Power vs. Force" comes with book jacket recommendations from high places: no less illuminaries than Wayne Dyer, Lee Iacocca, and even Mother Teresa endorse Hawkins' book. Thus I approached it with a good deal of open-minded interest. However, I was not able to finish the book, and certain of its claims disturbed me.
Hawkins' main thesis is that you can use kinesiological testing to test the objective truth of a statement. In the form of testing he uses, the subject stretches out his arm. The querent makes a statement such as "artificial sweeteners are good for you." If the subject can maintain his arm outstretched under a firm push from the querent, the statement is accepted as true. If the subject's arm can be pushed down, the statement is false.


In his works Hawkins approaches the study and practice of spirituality by means of his personal experience and his clinical and academic background. The stated objectives of Hawkins' research and teaching are to facilitate metaphysical understanding and to confirm the reality of spiritual truth focusing on various aspects of consciousness and on the road to enlightenment.Hawkins states that his teachings alone are sufficient to take one all the way to Self-realization, and that AK confirms this. He writes about the idea of a new branch in human evolution called “Homo spiritus“; the limited scope of causality; the illusion of time; general teachings on varied topics including spiritual intention, surrender, and miracles; the concepts of nonlinearity; void vs. allness; subjectivity vs. objectivity; content vs. context; out-of-body experiences vs. near-death experiences; astral vs. etheric levels; reincarnation, karma, and attractor fields.Hawkins asserts that God is both immanent and transcendent. Theologically, he is aligned with nondualism and Advaita philosophy. Nondualism, a highly expansive and inclusive concept of God including all which is of form and not, may be viewed as the belief that dualism or dichotomy (e.g. self/other, mind/body, male/female, good/evil, active/passive) are illusory phenomena; it may also be viewed as a practice, namely self-inquiry as set forth by Ramana Maharshi.His spiritual teaching focuses on "Devotional Nonduality," a form of transcendental monism, which has its origins in his research for Power vs. Force and was further developed afterwards. He says that the concept of “Devotional Nonduality“ resonates with many religions (such as Hinduism) that hold the concept that “all is One.“ Other concepts stated by Hawkins to be analogous to his description of nonduality are Logos (in the religious sense) and Tao, which are also argued to be congruent with modern quantum physics and the concept of nonlocality as expressed by Bell's Theorem.

Manifesting Your Potential - Discovering and Manifesting Your Potential What prevents us from expressing this power or potential is individual to each of us

Imagine Yourself As - Imagine yourself as a deep sea diver, a ballroom dancer, a professional athlete, a famous artist, or whatever you can’t imagine. No, that is not me, your timid little voice inside your head escapes into your conscious thoughts..

He sees nonduality as a potential bridge between natural science, philosophy and cognition, similar to the merging of physics and metaphysics envisioned by Fritjof Capra in The Tao of Physics, the concepts embraced by quantum physicist David Bohm, particularly the one of holomovement, as well as the new paradigm science of nuclear physicist Amit Goswami. Hawkins' description of nonduality is also related to that of a number of modern writers and philosophers, including Ken Wilber and G. Spencer Brown as presented in his book Laws of Form.Hawkins strongly encourages kindness to all forms of life, humor, forgiveness, humility, compassion, prayer and contemplation. He deems alignment and erudite familiarity with the existing religious scriptures measured by him to be especially true (that is, “high calibrating“—e.g., the New Testament except the Book of Revelation, the original teachings of Jesus Christ, Buddha, Krishna, and others) as a means of raising one's spiritual consciousness in the process and incorporating some of the most evolved known levels of truth. Both seeking and encouraging personal alignment with the Highest good, Hawkins repeatedly points out that “all are One in God,“ thereby supporting the Christian concept of “the Kingdom of God is within you.“

Socratic seminar

"The unexamined life is not worth living". -Socrates. Socrates was one of the early classical Greek philosophers who developed theories of understanding the self and the truth and realities that surround him. Born in ancient Athens in 269 BC, he spent most of his years assembling public discussions in order to share his ideas about man, virtues, justice and how life should be lived in a civilized society. In developing his theories of knowledge, he crafted a method of teaching known as the Socratic dialectic. Socrates believed the soul to be the heart of consciousness and moral character. He also strongly believed that man had to understand his true self. To make his audience appreciate these principles, he would motivate his audience, who were seated around him in a circle, to come up with valid truths by presenting a series of philosophical questions. In making use of this method of teaching, Socrates emphasized that it is important for the students to understand the principles and come up with conclusions themselves rather than merely narrating it to them. He would regularly initiate dialogues with his pupils, answering the questions with another question, instead of direct answers. He emphasized that through a disciplined conversation, his students would attain reliable knowledge.

This method of arriving at reliable knowledge by examining ideas logically, usually through the method of dialogue or question-and-answer is the core principle of the Socratic Seminar. The Socratic Seminar is a contemporary application of the dialectic method used by Socrates. In a Socratic Seminar, the participants seek richer understanding of divergent ideals through thoughtful dialogue rather than route memorization. This seminar method is used in order to draw diverse ideas, issues and values and encourage extended discussion. A "text", usually a reading from a related subject matter such as literature, history, science, art or religion, is selected and used to raise relevant questions in the minds of the participants. These questions are usually those which do not have right or wrong answers. This is why usually at the end of a Socratic Seminar, the participants end up with more questions that what they brought up at the beginning of the seminar.

The Socratic Seminar, like the dialectic discussions held by Socrates in ancient Athens has four essential elements: the text or the subject matter which can come from any subject area, the question which is raised in order to initiate disciplined discourse among the participate and rouse their curiosity about the subject and usually has no "right" answer, the leader who poses the initial question and portrays as both leader and participants and the participants who discuss the text at hand, listen carefully to each other and share ideas among themselves.Socrates' method of teaching forced his audience to clarify their ideas resulting on a clear statement of the original intent of the text. The same is with the Socratic Seminar. By successively and progressively discoursing about a subject, the participants are able to share their fullest possible knowledge about a topic. As the question-and-answer went on, the participants would discover the illogical or contradictory statements and thus weed out the incomplete or inaccurate ideas, leaving the verifiable knowledge alone.

The Socratic Seminar makes the participants responsible for the quality of the seminar. A good seminar is when they study carefully the text and the question posed before them, listen actively to each other, share thoughtfully their ideas and questions to the questions and answers presented by the others and run through the text to find evidence to support their conclusions. Unlike other types of seminars, the Socratic dialectic allows them to think out loud and learn from each other by the open exchange of ideas. As the seminar goes on, the participants discover the excitement of coming across the essential conclusions and the eagerness to examine ideas in a rigid but thoughtful manner.

Dictionary of Hindu Lore and Legend
Hinduism is a religion that originated on the Indian subcontinent. With its foundations in the Vedic civilization, it has no known founder being itself a conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions. It is considered the world's "oldest extant religion," and has approximately a billion adherents, of whom about 890 million live in India, placing it as the world's third largest religion after Christianity and Islam. Other countries with large Hindu populations include Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia.Hinduism provides a vast body of scriptures. Divided as revealed and remembered, and developed over millennia, these scriptures expound an equally vast range of theology, philosophy, and myth, providing spiritual insights along with guidance on the practice of dharma (religious living). Among such texts, Hindus revere the Vedas along with the Upanishads as being among the foremost in authority, importance, and antiquity. Other important scriptures include the Tantras and sectarian Agamas, Purāṇas and the epics: the Mahābhārata and the Rāmāyaṇa. The Bhagavad Gītā, a deeply profound conversation excerpted from the Mahābhārata, is widely seen as summarizing the spiritual teachings of the Vedas.

Atheists base their position on a more active logical analysis

Atheism entails, minimally, the absence of belief in the existence of any deities. It is contrasted with theism, the belief in a God or gods. Atheism is commonly defined as the positive belief that deities do not exist, or as the deliberate rejection of theism. However, others define atheism as the simple absence of belief in deities, thereby designating all agnostics, and people who have never heard of gods, such as newborn children, as atheists as well. In recent years, some atheists have adopted the terms strong and weak atheism to clarify whether they consider their stance one of positive belief (strong atheism) or the mere absence of belief (weak atheism).
Many self-described atheists share common skeptical concerns regarding supernatural claims, citing a lack of empirical evidence for the existence of deities. Other rationales for atheism range from the philosophical to the social to the historical. Although atheists tend toward secular philosophies such as humanism, rationalism, and naturalism, there is no one ideology or set of behaviors that all atheists adhere to.
In Western culture, atheists are frequently assumed to be irreligious or non-spiritual. However, some religious and spiritual beliefs, such as several forms of Buddhism, have been described by outside observers as conforming to the broader, negative definition of atheism due to their lack of any participating deities. Atheism is also sometimes equated with antitheism (opposition to theism) or antireligion (opposition to religion), despite many atheists not holding such views.
Philosophical and Logical Reasons

Many atheists will point out that in philosophy and science, the default position on any matter is a lack of belief. If reliable evidence or sound arguments are not presented in support of a belief, then the "burden of proof" remains upon believers, not nonbelievers, to justify their view. Consequently, many atheists assert that they are not theists simply because they remain unconvinced by theistic arguments and evidence. As such, many atheists have argued against the most famous proposed proofs of God's existence, including the ontological, cosmological, and teleological arguments.

Other atheists base their position on a more active logical analysis, and subsequent rejection, of theistic claims. The arguments against the existence of God aim at showing that the traditional Judeo-Christian conception of God either is inherently meaningless, is internally inconsistent, or contradicts known scientific or historical facts, and that therefore a god thus described does not exist.

The most common of these arguments is the problem of evil, which Christian apologist William Lane Craig has called "atheism's killer argument." The argument is that the presence of evil in the world disproves the existence of any god that is simultaneously benevolent and omnipotent, because any benevolent god would want to eliminate evil, and any omnipotent god would be able to do so. Theists commonly respond by invoking free will to justify evil (cf. argument from free will). However, this leaves unresolved the related argument from nonbelief, also known as the argument from divine hiddenness, which states that if an omnipotent God existed and wanted to be believed in by all, it would prove its existence to all because it would invariably be able to do so. Since there are unbelievers, either there is no omnipotent God or God does not want to be believed in.

Wisdom Of Life

Another such argument is theological noncognitivism, which holds that religious language, and specifically words like God, is not cognitively meaningful. This argument was popular in the early 20th century among logical positivists such as Rudolph Carnap and A.J. Ayer, who held that talk of deities is literally nonsense. Such arguments have since fallen into disfavor among philosophers, but continue to see use among ignostics, who view the question of whether deities exist as meaningless or unanswerable, and apatheists, who view it as entirely irrelevant. Similarly, the transcendental argument for the non-existence of God , a reversal of the more well-known theistic argument, argues that logic, science, and morality can only be justified by appealing to a non-theistic worldview.

M.D. is the author of ten previous books, including Spontaneous Healing, Eight Weeks to Optimum Health, Eating Well for Optimum Health, and, with Rosie Daley, The Healthy Kitchen. A graduate of Harvard Medical School, he is clinical professor of medicine and director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.

Healthy Aging: A Lifelong Guide to Your Physical and Spiritual Well-Being

Spontaneous Healing . . . Eight Weeks to Optimum Health . . . Eating Well for Optimum Health . . . The Healthy Kitchen–in each of his widely acclaimed, best-selling books, Dr. Andrew Weil has been an authoritative and companionable guide through a uniquely effective combination of traditional and nontraditional approaches to health and healthy living. Now he gives us a book about aging that is unlike any other in the breadth and depth of its information and understanding. Hugely informative, practical, and uplifting, it is infused with the engaging candor and common sense that have been the hallmarks of all his books.At the heart of Healthy Aging is Dr. Weil’s belief that although aging is an irreversible process, there are myriad things we can do to keep our minds and bodies in good working order through all phases of life. To that end, he draws on the new science of biogerentology (the biology of aging) as well as on the secrets of healthy longevity– diet, activity, and attitude–that he has gathered firsthand from cultures around the world.

In Part One–“The Science and Philosophy of Healthy Aging”–he explains how the body ages, and he explores the impact of gender, genes, environment, and lifestyle on an individual’s experience and perception of the process of aging. He describes the various would-be elixirs of life extension–herbs, hormones, and antiaging “medicines”–separating myth from fact and clearly delineating the difference between the spurious notions of preventing or reversing the process of aging and the real possibilities of inhibiting or delaying the onset of diseases that become more likely as we age. He writes movingly about the ways in which an acceptance of aging can be a significant part of doing it well, and of recognizing and appreciating the great rewards of growing older: depth and richness of experience, complexity of being, serenity, wisdom, and its own kind of power and grace. In Part Two–“How to Age Gracefully”–Weil details an easy-to-implement Anti-inflammatory Diet that will protect the immune system and aid your body in resisting and adapting to the changes that time brings. And he provides extensive practical advice on exercise; preventive health care; stress management; physical, mental, and emotional flexibility; and spiritual enhancement–all of which can help you achieve and maintain the best health throughout the lifelong process of aging.Healthy Aging–a book for people of all ages–is Andrew Weil’s most important and far-reaching book yet.

“Dr. Weil has arguably become American’s best-known doctor.” —The New York Times Magazine “Forget plastic surgery. Skip the pricey face creams and the drugs for creaky bodies. Natural-medicine champion Weil, who’s now in his sixties, covers longevity research, aging, and how he’s embracing the experience.” —Life Magazine“Weil wants us to be sensible about growing old. . . . He argues that we should not fight aging. There’s no winning that war. Instead, we should concentrate on aging well.” —The Washington Post

The Way Of The Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Woman, Work, and Sexual Desire

A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire. The Way of the Superior Man is David Deida's primary sourcebook on masculine spiritual practice. This is a must read for every man (and every man's partner) who wants to live a life of integrity, authenticity, and freedom.
A friend recommended this book to me many months ago and I finally got around to getting it...wish I had gotten it sooner. There were several aspects of my life I was not handling as a "Superior Man" which led to a break-up in my relationship. At the time I could not understand what she wasn't getting from me, but now it is all clear. It is a great book with a nice blend of very practical, down-to-earth advice combined with a philosophy that I feel is right on the mark. I've recommended the book to several good friends! It is the kind of book I wished I'd read when I was 18 years old and would have been so much help. Men always complain about not being able to understand women, but this book really helps with that, and it's important to understand, accept, and learn how to deal with the inherent differences and unique gifts each gender has to offer the other. Get this book and you won't be disappointed.
