TA-DA and Your Life in Runes
Runes are the very ancient mystic alphabet of the mighty sea-roving Vikings (and of others for the historic purists among you) but I just came across proof that the thinking of these ancients is as up to date as the best of modern motivational thinkers and writers. The Runes were not only used for writing but also for their mystic powers of divination/spell binding and as a moral code for these preliterate peoples. (Read my book RnR Runes and Remedies for further elucidation.)
First let me very highly recommend another book: The Power of Focus by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt to anyone who is serious about improving their life. To give an idea of what the book is about it is subtitled: ”What the world’s greatest achievers know about The Secret to financial freedom and success.” The book is extremely well written and is crammed full of practical advice on how to motivate yourself and get things done.
THE TA-DA FORMULA
The focus here is on their TA-DA Formula found in the book. TA-DA is an acronym for Think, Ask – Decide, Act. In their words: “This will help you stay alert as you head into the uncharted waters of the future.” This entry here is not about a detailed study of how to apply the formula (the authors do an excellent job of that) but about how basic human wisdom is timeless and recurring as the same progression of activities can be found in the ancient Runes.
THE RUNES
My book RnR Runes and Remedies goes into a complete exposition on the Runes but we are here interested in the left half of Freyja’s Eight (the creativity Runes) that runs the progression of Ansuz, Thurisaz, Uruz and Fehu. Note the progression of meanings as these Runes are here explained. The ancient name is followed by the modern name and a brief meaning description from the book is given.
THINK, ASK
Ansuz / Lucubration: Ideas and thoughts but not yet any decision. Upright Objective meaning: Enlightenment: knowledge imparted to the inquirer
DECIDE
Thurisaz / Decision: some planning to do before you can go into action
ACT
Uruz / Passages: Turning point, almost at ultimate success but still some work to do
and the result of
Fehu / Success: Ultimate achievement on the worldly plane
THE PARALLEL IS CLEAR EVEN IF THE TWO TRAINS OF THOUGHT WERE INDEPENDENTLY WRITTEN ALMOST 2000 YEARS APART!
IN PRACTICE
Why all this fuss and bother about ideas?
To start lets quote Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” This translates into our modern industrial society that you should not follow the path of the lower and middle classes to work for a wage (or even expend effort to try to obtain a better wage) but to follow the path of the rich to wealth by concentrating on increasing your net worth; i.e. putting ideas into action. Lots of studies and research confirm this difference in mental philosophy. This concept has been niftily stated as well that: “you can turn hours into dollars or ideas into millions.” The TA-DA Formula shines here as the guiding light on how to bring ideas to successful fruition.
