Thanks for Teachers

Convenience scholars believe that this convenience was written by an older teacher.It clearly emphasizes and celebrates the oral and written traditions involved in sharing knowledge among practitioners.Practitioner knowledge has been passed among teachers and students for centuries.Note that the writer has cited her source (as an academic would do): the 1910 edition of Teachers Magazine.

Thanks for Teachers

Hoping that others may find me useful

and give thanks for all teachers' help.

My old friends never forget the aim of good.

This has been proved repeatedly.

Convenience for the Less Conventional

This convenience speaks to the lived experience of not being able to conform to someone else's expectations.The writer recognizes that some outsiders hold the knowledge that remaining open, watching for possibilities, and having courage and trust are beneficial.She asserts that these worldviews will lead to an awareness that the self is valuable and that all is well.

Dreams and Personality 2

Sometimes the less conventional cannot conform

and some of those maintain this authority:

seek to allow possibility and be open.

Have courage and trust that

"all manner of things shall be well." (Julian of Norwich)

A Dream Background of Dun and Grey

This convenience writer cautions against the belief that all dreams must be larger-than-life or must meet some particular standard of excitement.The variety of dreams is as wide and deep as the human spirit. Some seek only serenity.

Some dreams do not look for vivid colouring.

The neutral tints beckon to many imaginations and hearts.

A background of dun and grey may be preferred.

When I Became a Crone

Convenience scholars generally recognize this convenience as an academic text, and many scholarly papers have been written about its sentiments.It is acknowledged as an early reclaiming of the word crone because it embraces denotation and connotation of an older woman as wise and powerful.Most convenience historians theorize that an academic woman created it near, or after, the end of her teaching career.

When I Became a Crone

Life felt free and simple & Powerful

A Strong Wind is Important

Because of the chosen images, some convenience scholars theorize that this piece was created by a convenience artist familiar with transatlantic travel.Critics of this theory note that many people may have had access to the transatlantic travel literature used in this convenience.

An experienced traveler?

An armchair tourist?

In any case, the convenience references the need for a strong wind. This reference suggests that the convenience artist had some knowledge of the travel industry prior to the invention of the steamship in the late 18th century.

A Strong Wind

is Important to all leaving the old for something new;

especially for those who seek and

those who want different dreams and

those who are compelled toward Metamorphosis.

Every Part of the Rainbow is Fine

A rainbow is used as a metaphor in this Convenience.Scholars generally accept that the Convenience writer and scholar named Anna created this statement. She was writing during the early twentieth century. (She is first mentioned here).Anna was part of an early twentieth-century convenience movement to be more inclusive.The movement encouraged the belief that all benevolent dreams [emphasis mine] were part of the spectrum of possibility and should be encouraged.

In our experience,

every part of the rainbow is so fine.

The day is washed by rains, dried by the sun's heat,

and is especially favored.

It is a joy to the eye.

Some Missouri Convenience History

Here is the first example of a convenience specifically describing a piece of regional history.The text of the writing indicates that healing can sometimes, at first, feel like more trauma.The writing also indicates that this discernment can be difficult for practitioners as well.The process may, in fact, appear to be an inconvenience, but the results will reassure the seeker that this is not so.

Missouri Convenience History

Even newcomers with knowledge and experience found the learning process steep.

The beautiful convenience was simple.

The convenience designed to repair damage sometimes appeared to be an inconvenience

Reminiscences in another County

Convenience scholars believe that this convenience was written by a man who had been a soldier, or by a woman very familiar with a soldier, perhaps a wife, sweetheart, sister, or mother.Note the publication date of the original source, Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes. (1897).The first sentence of the convenience references five-and-thirty years ago, which tells us that the convenience is referencing a time roughly located in the early 1860s.The language of the convenience is formal and hierarchical which does not necessarily place it within a military milieu as much of the 18th century experience was hierarchical.The style of the convenience does place it within a military context.Note that the extraneous text is not struck-through and references officers, exercises, Wellington, Napoleon, etc.Many scholars debate the reasons for leaving the extraneous text; here are some of their questions:

• Was the writer so busy he or she did not have time to strike through the text?
• Was the reader so confident that he or she did not see the need to strike through the text?
• Was the writer unfamiliar with the convenience tradition of striking through? This may indicate that the writer is new to the conveniences.
• Was the convenience dictated from a soldier to another person, one who may not have been familiar with the traditions?

In any case, the convenience certainly appeals to those who are comforted by authority and precision.

Reminiscences in Another County

They were soldiers

Five-and-thirty years ago the graduates were ambitious and not afraid of work

Memoir presents a memory:

those who were at the top of the tree of truth made up the nucleus around which trading was formed.

Their motto was serving hope with distinction

A New Year's Preface

This convenience writer considers some of her life experiences; she then describes some intentions for a new year.The original page for this convenience comes from The Theory of Color in its Relation to Art and Art-industry by Wilhelm von Bezold, 1876.Convenience scholars suggest that this writer is an older woman because of the depth of the introspection and the date of the source page.Note the use of color on a source page written about color theory. Also note the yearned-for experiences, the width and depth of their hunger, and how they metaphorically interact with the concept of color.This writer was quite prolific, and her images appear again and again across the convenience landscape.Convenience scholars have adopted the convention of calling her Anna.

A New Year's Preface

Though the author attempts to not conceal herself from herself,

the fact is that mysteries & tangled paths abound

especially among memory, distress, comfort, & release

&

it is principally intended that in this New Year

the most glorious creations are seen and heard & smelt & touched & thought and felt & imagined

and made

by continued practice & play and care & curiosity

Seeing Dreams With a Clear Eye

This Convenience Commentary writer advocates leaving aside too many old beliefs (superstition) and too many expectations (reverence).The writer is from the convenience tradition that privileges the current moment as the only sure source for dream validity.She adheres to one of that tradition's primary tenets: the theory that a selectively-remembered past, and an imagined future (both impossible to avoid), present us with counterfeited impressions of possibility.

Seeing Dreams with a Clear Eye

I believe counterfeiting dreams hath done mischief.

I fear reverence and superstition to be a narrow compass.

The results of this combination are injurious.

Homestead Convenience 37 - Break Down the Self

The writer of this homestead convenience advocates deconstruction, and the phrase break down is used as both a verb and a noun.When break down is experienced as a noun, the writer recognizes that a seeming break down may actually be a creative experience, and/or an experience full of grace.

Convenience scholars have parsed this passage and have noted that the phrase break down may denote any life experience that causes (or is caused by) stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, etc.

The scholars do NOT attempt to trivialize the physiological causes of a break down, and they do recognize professional help (if required) as contributors to insight and transformation.

When used as a verb, the convenience writer suggests that breaking down habitual ways of thinking, feeling, or behaving is useful. Breaking down is deliberate in this case.Please note that the writer speaks of necessary repairs. She advocates repair, which scholars take to mean a reassembling of thinking, feeling, and behavior.She advocates transformation.

Farm Convenience 37 - Break Down the Self

to break down one's self is to lighten experience

provided the necessary repairs render

Insight and Transformation

Commercial Convenience 90 - No Guarantees

This Convenience writer warns against the results promised by some of the convenience advertisements and convenience commercial concerns.The writer warns that a client should not expect new dreams to be forever protected, or expect the new dreams themselves to protect the individual from all possible future misfortune.The writer advocates seeking increased freedom in the present, and firmly states the belief that improving the present is a full and satisfactory result.

The End of Bad Dreams

Bonded for 20 and 10 years

Your dream is NOT protected by this 20-year bond.

You are not safeguarded against all troubles, for that guarantee is not possible.

Skillful, dependable work in the present can possibly provide a sense of freedom far beyond the current experience,

and it is enough.

Homestead Convenience 31 - Transmutation

Some practitioners favor the idea and act of transmutation, rather than replacement.This convenience writer believes that the energy in old, or no-longer-useful, beliefs or dreams can be changed into a new kind of experience.Please note that the writer advocates NOT beginning the transmutation until all other attempts and all other avenues have proven fruitless.This writer believes the fruitlessness to be natural and inevitable.The writer's comments about coming to the laborious tells clients that there is work to be done.The end of the tether does not mean immediate peace, but it can mean the first step in healing.

Farm Convenience 31

Transmutation

Come to the inevitable, to the natural, to the laborious.

Reach the end of the tether and

undertake sufficient care that no particle be lost.

Anytime Convenience 63 - Restrain Unpleasant Barbs

This Anytime Convenience writer recommends moderating discourse.She suggests that refraining from unpleasant speech is an act which contributes to serenity.But serenity for whom?Most convenience scholars propose that the idea of harmful speech being injurious to others is implicit in this convenience.The same scholars also agree with the Convenience spiritual community that this writer primarily focuses on the speaker's agency and the consequences of the agency for the speaker [emphasis mine].

Anytime Convenience 63

Restrain from unpleasant barbs.

This modification is necessary for

the peace of the soul

and

the happiness of the heart.

 

Homestead Convenience 12 - Cut While the Sap is Dormant

Unlike the inconveniences, which often encourage action while experiencing the problematic emotions of anger, pride, lust, gluttony, etc., this convenience encourages working with serenity.The convenience writer advises allowing the emotions to settle and become dormant, suggesting that tranquility leads to a more effective treatment.

Homestead Convenience 116 - Connecting Dreams

The writer of this convenience appears to have been mechanically-minded, and provides readers with explicit visual cues.This convenience is a good reminder that it is not always necessary to completely discard old dreams.New dreams can be infused with the images and energy of old dreams, and can be grown from their compost.

Connecting Dreams

When it is desired to connect a new dream with an old one,

without loss of energy,

it can be done as shown in figure 142.

Extend the inside of the new dream to the outside of the old one,

and, when ready,

pump the ideas from the old to the new dream

and the new dream will float to the top.

Deadly Sin Inconvenience 7 - Pride

Here, again, is the Inconvenience writer who based her instructions on the seven deadly sins.This Inconvenience writer was working sometime between 1850 and 1910, as noted in the Covetousness Inconvenience description.We see the upside-down heart in the designs on either side of the text, these hearts being the definite sign of an inconvenience.But, surely, few could doubt the manipulation and malevolence present in the text itself.Imagine the sense of superiority and arrogance of the person indoctrinated with these thoughts. 

Promote Pride

Support a bosom swelling with pride.

Label all like this: perfect, precious, important, good, absolute, first, always preferable, fine,

select class, favourite, the more striking, better, wise, the best _______, the best _______, and the best ______.

Modes of Protecting Convenience - Wall of Grace

Many Conveniences mention grace, but there was one particular convenience writer who repeatedly stressed the importance of it.This is one of her creations.She tells her readers that letting go may be necessary.She suggests that human effort may ultimately prove ineffective, but that a wall of grace can be an answer in severe situations. 

Modes of Protecting Convenience - Wall of Grace

Many persons are at a loss for a simple contrivance for effecting the desired purpose.

When the situation is severe, a wall of grace may be formed.
