From the Online Etymology Dictionary:
flourish (v.) c. 1300, "to blossom, grow," from Old French floriss-, stem of florir "to blossom, flower, bloom; prosper, flourish," from Latin florere "to bloom, blossom, flower," figuratively "to flourish, be prosperous..."
thrive (v.) c. 1200, from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse þrifask "to thrive," originally "grasp to oneself," probably reflexive of þrifa "to clutch, grasp, grip, take hold of" (compare Norwegian triva "to seize." )
“I thought about it for a minute and concluded that I would have to refuse the winnings under these circumstances, since this was a mistake.”
That pesky logic and thinking... Perhaps if your dream hadn't been interrupted, you would have made friends with your inner “Omar!”
This is an angle worth looking at and considering. I got the impression that my subconscious is worried about getting money from sources that are immoral - that is, being given something in some way that rightfully belongs to someone else. Silly subconscious, all you need to do is not bring me wealth in such ways! But one of the things this program does is make the user willing to accept the results it achieves. And the safeties in it should prevent things like "ill gotten gains" anyway.
At the current time, I can feel that we have reached what I believe is "bedrock". That is to say, I believe that right now, some of my deepest and most primal inner layers are trying to resist because there are beliefs changes required to move forward, and they aren't wanting to make these changes. The question I have is... how long will these parts be able to hold up progress? Very interested in seeing how this gets dealt with.
