<br />
<br />
There I was, all decked out in resplendent white robes, a hint of a halo around my head... <br />
<br />
Nah, doesn't happen that way. <br />
<br />
Alan Watts was fun of repeating the old Chinese proverb:<br />
"Before enlightenment: chop wood, carry water.<br />
"After enlightenment: chop wood, carry water."<br />
<br />
The trick is that life goes on.<br />
<br />
You can get all Zen and Mindful and such, living in The Zone or The Moment. All this is good and gives you peace. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, life goes on around you. <br />
<br />
So Life After Enlightenment can be endless peace, or you can set goals as a game to play. <br />
<br />
I'd spend most of my life sorting out self-help books and materials, including investing 20 years of my life in a corporate cult devoted to deluding their staff and public about their "one road out."<br />
<br />
(To which a truly enlightened person would tell you some koan about "there is no end, only the journey" or "heaven and hell are both metaphors for what you're already experiencing." Said the Red Queen to Alice, "You have to run as fast as you can to stay in the same place.")<br />
<br />
Anyway, I already knew all these authors and their titles. So I might as well make a game out of that somehow. So I started publishing them (as there were so many in the public domain) and making a living from that. And the game of "making a living" requires goals and plans and whatnot. Perfect for "whiling away the idle hour."<br />
<br />
Sure, I know all this enlightenment stuff, and keep busy at pushing people toward it. But I also know it's a very un-serious activity, that people are already there and only have to accept it fully.<br />
<br />
Any job is an amusement, a source of entertainment. Nothing more. The difference between people who are going through life being entertained and people who are entertained going through life is both very slight and a huge gulf.<br />
<br />
It may take some study to understand that sentence fully. But that's where I am, and why I do what I do.<br />
<br />
Luck to us all.robertworstellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16109419616754661835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611442181912091078.post-32473497610196061282015-09-01T14:54:00.000-05:002015-09-22T10:09:58.060-05:00The 3-Fingered Solution<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
More breakthroughs happened today - this one with the Silva Three Fingers Technique.</h3>
<br />
I've had to revisit my earlier <a href="http://www.silvacourses.com/?a_aid=orderonline" target="_blank">Silva Training</a> this week as I went through some other changes, all due to that <a href="http://amodernview.worstelldesign.com/2015/08/new-model-new-organization-new-site-new.html" target="_blank">Maslow Breakthorugh </a>I told you about.<br />
<br />
I wanted to brief you on some of these, and root them in a simple technique you can start using today.<br />
<br />
The description of how to apply this in a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Learning">learning</a> situation is below - it helps you take tests, among other things.<br />

Our use of is it to store a ready alpha-brainwave state, where the subconscious is highly accessible.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've used this for years, as once you learn to simply drop into an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_wave" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Alpha wave">alpha-wave</a> state (called "Getting Centered" and "Going to Level") then you are able to work up all sorts of affirmations. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Silva explains how he discovered how to make "<a href="http://napoleonhillthinkandgrowrich.midwestjournalpress.com/2015/02/new-release-napoleon-hills-think-and-grow-rich.html" target="_blank">Think and Grow Rich</a>" work for anyone. I found this in an <a href="http://silvaliving.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-jose-silva-did-that-napolean-hill.html">old Silva article republished in 2011</a>. The trick is that up to the time of Silva's studies, all affirmations were being pushed from the outside in - as an effort to solve problems which were <i>results</i>, not <i>causes</i>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When you "Go to Level" or "Get Centered", you are now operating at alpha-wavelengths or below and so the affirmations now can take effect as causes - because you are re-programming your mind to now operate on these instead of other counter-solutions you'd been trained with all your life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For years, I've said to use <a href="http://j.mp/releasetechnique-home" target="_blank">Levenson's Release Technique</a> along with Silva as the most effective. The above paragraph says why. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In order to move above Maslow's subsistence level, you are going to have to deal with the four "needs" the <a href="http://j.mp/releasetechnique-home" target="_blank">Release Technique</a> solves. Maslow called these Safety, Belonginess, and Esteem. Levenson had these as Control, Security, Approval, and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belongingness" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Belongingness">Belongingness</a> - and all of these on top of Fear of Death - or Fear of Loss of Individuality.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For sure, there is a ton of material available to study on Levenson and Silva. I've given you the links above to review in your own time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today, this just gives you a few short notes that make pique your curiosity a bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now a simple technique:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Go to Level.</li>
<li>Release anything that's bothering you.</li>
<li>Adopt a Calm, Cheerful Expectancy as an attitude (this comes from <a class="zem_slink" href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/book/how-to-completely-change-your/id588845485?mt=11" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Earl Nightingale">Earl Nightingale</a>.)</li>
<li>Then, appreciate natural systems around you.</li>
</ol>
<div>
What this does is to enable adopting a simple, positive attitude - where things work better. Then you start to see more natural systems which exist, and so you can start seeing how to improve your life naturally - in alignment with Nature instead of short-cutting it or fighting it.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All this so you can live a simpler, more peaceful life - one filled with inspiration and solutions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your welcome. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll try to keep you posted as things develop.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
See you next time.</div>

<br />
Busy lately - extremely.<br />
<br />
I've been getting a new site ready, promoting it in advance, and helping an author in India get self-published even though he has to crowd into an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_caf%C3%A9" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Internet café">Internet cafe</a> to do his work.<br />
<br />
The breakthrough you should know about is using Maslow as a plan or a series of steps to map out your route to freedom.<br />
<br />
Of course, you can say that a map or route isn't necessary - that Freedom simply is. And you'd be right. You'd also see that that is from the view of someone who has already been there, done that.<br />
<br />
And that viewpoint is a very extreme minority of people, about one out of a few million (which is being very charitable.)<br />
<br />
The reason you need a roadmap or journey guidebook is for those who still consider themselves very un-free - and feel they need such a metaphor in order to travel their journey.<br />
<br />
Marketing means having such a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Metaphor">metaphoric</a> roadmap available.<br />
<br />
Because <i><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Marketing">marketing</a> is inviting people onto that journey which they are already on</i>.<br />
<br />
Circular, yes?<br />
<br />
That's the universe we live in, that we invented, that we continue to create.<br />
<br />
The marketing of this new site - one which trains people how to <a href="http://livesensical.com/" target="_blank">live sensical</a> - now has a map to follow, a plan to create the steps which people would need to take in order to move to higher levels.<br />
<br />
They would simply assess where they are operating from and then apply the necessary studies to improve their lot. Taken, of course, that they want to improve.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
My current scene is to fulfill the bliss I've inherited somehow - to return with the boon I discovered years ago.<br />
<br />
All the pieces are here, now. The relevance of a great many of them haven't been fully realized.<br />
<br />
I see now that these will be revealed - much as "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."<br />
<br />
This is how the alignment of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Maslow's hierarchy of needs">Maslow's Pyramid</a> came to me this morning.<br />
<br />
And, as usual, this now opens huge doors to progress. That gives us a comparative that now sets the scene for success by everyone who wants to travel.<br />
<br />
Again, I wanted you to know first. You've got the link to what I'm working on now. Hopefully, in a week or so I'll have this ready for you to start. For now, sign up there and you'll be first aboard.<br />

<h1>
End of The World: Endless Abundance, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Health">Health</a>, and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Happiness">Happiness</a> for Everyone.</h1>
<br />
Surprised? Don't be.<br />
<br />
Most of those who make their money by trying to scare you constantly are lying through their smiling teeth. That includes all politicians, all news media, all insurance companies, and all lawyers (but doesn't include honest used-car dealers.) <br />
<br />
All of us who've studied self-help classics know that you create your own world with the vision you hold. There is no shortage of money, food, or well-being anywhere in the world, except where it's being created.<br />
<br />
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="North Korea">North Korea</a> vs. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="South Korea">South Korea</a>. The poverty and lack in the North is a painful facade created by it's politicians.<br />
<br />
When the artists who created "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_the_World" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="We Are the World">We Are The World</a>" album toured the countries they raised money for, they found out that all the starvation was created by the government.<br />
<br />
I could go on with examples of people feeling better when they quit watching the news, people who quit all junk food and eat only home-prepared meals ("home cooking") actually lose weight and regain complete health, people who put money into long-term savings instead of insurance have more to spend or invest - and (interestingly) are not the target of suit-happy lawyers.<br />
<br />
I'll leave you instead to find your own examples.<br />
<br />
<h3>
So, why am I announcing this now?</h3>
<br />
If you've been following this blog for the years I've been writing it (and watched my prose improve, I hope) then you've known that it's actually easier to be rich than broke, simpler to be healthy than sick, cheaper to be happy than be constantly upset.<br />
<br />
We live lives of endless anything and everything. All we want to be and have can be easily achieved, acquired, or attained.<br />
<br />
Just read the classics. Study the non-conventional books, most of which are public domain now - and copies can be gotten for free.<br />
<br />
Isn't that weird? It will cost you <i>less</i> to get endlessly rich, perfectly healthy, and constantly happy than being broke, sick, and emotionally torn.<br />
<br />
The reason for announcing this is that I'm now going to personally do something about it that you can help with - and get help from.<br />
<br />
<h3>
My solution is a four-element system anyone can learn and use.</h3>
1) Clear your <b>Mind</b>.<br />
2) Clear your <b>Body</b>.<br />
3) Clear up the <b>Value</b> you give others.<br />
4) Clear up the <b>Bliss</b> you seek.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This isn't for everyone.</i> In fact, I'd say that this <i>exact</i> route isn't for anyone but me. The reason is: it won't work the same way on any two people.<br />
<br />
I'm creating a library of books and courses for each of these four areas. In addition to all those I already have recovered and re-published.<br />
<br />
The purpose of that library is to give you tools so you can build your own route out of this mess which calls itself a civilization. This is a library of tools, of potential solutions.<br />
<br />
<i>It's up to you to work out how to put them together in your own personal fashion to achieve what you want out of life.</i><br />
<br />
Because we are all individuals - and that is the Babel which has kept religions and philosophies and dogmas from working. Set, pat theories and studies only work for the writer or founder. They don't work exactly the same for anyone else, even if they have an "identical" twin brother or sister.<br />
<br />
No two people are the same - or they'd be able to stand in exactly the same place and time - and merge. But then they'd be one, wouldn't they?<br />
<br />
That same problem says why you have to find your own way out of the mess we've all helped create.<br />
<br />
My job has been to find my own - and then offer the basics of it to you and yours so that all of us can do the same.<br />
<br />
Even while the rest of the world goes to flaming hell.<br />
<br />
Sorry for them. Good for us. Reason we aren't them?<i> Because we want to get <u>better</u>. </i><br />
<br />
The people around you who are constantly critical are also physically ill, live from paycheck to paycheck, and aren't too happy about anything.<br />
<br />
Throughout history, those who seek only to help everyone around them to improve their lives have always had more than enough to get whatever they actually needed and wanted. They seldom had problems with health, and were satisfied with their lot in life.<br />
<br />
Is that too simple? Check it out - don't believe anything I say.<br />
<br />
<h3>
When will this library be available for study?</h3>
Over the next few weeks, I'll be setting this system up for anyone to access.<br />
<br />
The funny thing is that I can't give it away, even while I want to. <br />
<br />
Because like freedom, health, and happiness - they are all native to every individual: but <i>what we have <u>given</u> to us, we don't <u>value</u></i>. What we will pick up and study are those things we have to work and pay for.<br />
<br />
Since I'm already financially free, I don't need the money. (Any profits I get immediately are devoted to promoting these courses world wide. Once <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_peace" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="World peace">World Peace</a> breaks out permanently, maybe I'll start giving it to charities who prove they can <i>actually</i> put it to use, not just spend it on bigger buildings at Headquarters - I dunno at this point.) The real point is to get all this material, with all the summaries and all the courses, into the hand of people who understand its value and will start applying it in their lives. <br />
<br />
Then the world will be a better place, even faster than it's already moving towards.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Only about 1% of the world will need to do these courses.</h3>
The reason being is that this amount can be the tipping point to achieve World Peace.<br />
<br />
If you think about it, the only reason we've had wars were based on economic, dogmatic (both political and religious), and various other lies.<br />
<br />
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Robert_Malthus" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Thomas Robert Malthus">Malthus</a> was the first to hold an Economics chair in any university - and did it based on faulty science that "there would never be enough to go around." Most all economic and financial theories since then have parroted that squirrelly conclusion in one way or another.<br />
<br />
<i>The two greatest civilizing influences in the world have been <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_Christianity" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Buddhism and Christianity">Christianity and Buddhism</a>, both of which were based on understanding yourself and the people around you</i>. (I'd include Islam in this, except it's currently being shanghaied by crazy extremists who are busy destroying their own kind and trying to get the rest of the world to join in. Until those believers reform that "religion", they will continue to die at their own hands as they have through history.)<br />
<br />
With our modern "sciences" and technologies, the cracks in our "civilization" seem to be rapidly getting wider. Unfortunately, like the exaggerated news stories about it, that conclusion is just as false.<br />
<br />
Civilization is based on mutual cooperation - which results in enough peace and rule of law that commerce can exist. It doesn't depend on governments. It does depend on enough people being certain about their own esteem that they can invest in the welfare of people around them - openhandedly.<br />
<br />
(Under that logic, it can be argued that pets - especially dogs - might have used their unconditional love to bring humans out of their violent Stone Age into our modern times. Joke - or not?)<br />
<br />
<h3>
The End Times Cometh</h3>
Various people have calculated that just by getting 1% of the world to simply get on board with any particular belief would cause that belief to cascade through the rest of the world. <br />
<br />
All that needs to be done in our modern "Internet Age" is to make these materials readily available to everyone.<br />
<br />But, as I said - that's already been done.<br />
<br />
The problem is that people don't know what they don't know.<br />
<br />
We could quickly and easily achieve world peace for the minority of this planet which are in seemingly endless conflict with themselves and everyone else. (You did know that only a tiny percentage of the world's land mass is actually involved in battles at any given time - that there is more peace "breaking out" through the world now than any time in history?)<br />
<br />
All we have to do is to finish up the job of getting the rest of the needed 1% of the people around us to start causatively learning and applying the material which has always made people free, rich, and contented.<br />
<br />
Funny, huh?<br />
<br />
Somehow, I've backed myself (and you) into becoming evangelists for this stuff.<br />
<br />
Even though it's already free, and available on smartphones all over the world.<br />
<br />
<i>It's an awareness we need to change. </i><br />
<br />
Yes, this is already bringing about the end of national news networks. It's already making our food healthier (Pepsi and Coke have sales problems, as well as McDonald's). It's already affecting the bottom line of Monsanto and other corporations who are flagrantly violating Natural Law (but not local man-made ones - because you can always buy off a politician...)<br />
<br />
Nature has interesting ways of enforcing itself, not always pleasant ones.<br />
<br />
The point is if you are reading this, you've already come to suspect what I've said. (Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.) But true, regardless of any belief you have held, any color of anyone's skin, any particular mental mindset you've agreed with up to this point.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Now the world starts changing faster than it already has. </h3>
Inevitable.<br />
<br />
The whole point to these lessons is to help that change become more enjoyable and more entertaining.<br />
<br />
You'll get richer, healthier, and happier. It's also inevitable.<br />
<br />
Because the world we used to know is over. A new one is taking its place.<br />
<br />
Our job is to enjoy the ride.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>(photo: wikipedia)</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<b>No one really knows.</b><br />
<br />
Supposedly, he holds a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Guinness-World-Records-2009/dp/1904994377%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1904994377" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="Guinness: World Records 2009 (Guinness World Records)">Guinness World Record</a> for the number of published books by one <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Author" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Author">author</a> in a lifetime.<br />
<br />
The consensus is that he was a prolific <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Fantasy">fantasy</a> author, some of which is known as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a>.<br />
<br />
And that is just what doomed his legacy.<br />
<br />
Because the "facts" spread about his life, even from his own words, are indistinguishable from his fantasies.<br />
<br />
His "church" was reportedly created with the purpose to make him money - and he died rich (and alone.) The current controversy about how that organization mis-treats its members ("<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Clear%3A_Scientology%2C_Hollywood%2C_and_the_Prison_of_Belief" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief">Going Clear</a>") is his real legacy. The policies he wrote, mis-applied or not, set the scene for these tragedies.<br />
<br />
The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_relations" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Public relations">PR</a> his devoted followers have spread is based on his own fantasies.<br />
<br />
If you run into his fiction works, enjoy them if you can.<br />
<br />
If you run into something "factual", it can always be chased down as being stated by someone else - and rarely attributed.<br />
<br />
The one real result I've gotten from following his texts on philosophy is the personal discipline of always researching to discover the <i>real</i> sources of his techniques - to find the underlying natural laws which made any of his successes possible.<br />
<br />
<i>An interesting sidebar:</i> while Hubbard left deeded his copyrights to no one in his will, his family isn't interested enough to try to defend them. The corporation has had to re-write those books - which now have "by L. Ron Hubbard" in the title, and the new copyright owner is "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Spiritual_Technology" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Church of Spiritual Technology">L. Ron Hubbard Library</a>." <br />
<br />
The bottom line is that his techniques only work inside the fantasy world he created - which is why the work to get these applied in the society at large have failed. A person needs to buy into that fantasy to get the benefits.<br />
<br />
Hubbard wrote nothing original except his fantasies. All of his "secret upper levels" are far more fantasy than fact. Building upon the idea of "past lives" is setting your foundation on quicksand. There is no science to routinely prove it - because people re-write their own lives as they live it. In a society where Science rules, nothing which isn't factual can be proved or "validated."<br />
<br />
After 20+ years in that group and around 15 years out of it, I occasionally still have nightmares.<br />
<br />
They all have to do with the extreme control methods which were used inside that organization. Reportedly, these have gotten much worse in the 15 years I've been gone - and the reason I left was because in general, people were afraid to apply the policies as written if they conflicted with Miscavidge "command intention". This also then casts shadow on those policies, as that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_culture" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Organizational culture">corporate culture</a> was responsible for creating Miscavidge, who joined as a teenager.<br />
<br />
What I've learned to deal with these nightmares is to go back into that dream and leave that group. It's the only thing which turns it off. It's what I did so long ago, and it's what I recommend to anyone who has ever been in it.<br />
<br />
Fantasies don't have to be believed. <br />
<br />
You may or may not get gains from the practices he laid out. <i>Those gains you've had are yours</i> - they cannot be taken away by anyone else. Your gains are the result of your own personal exploration and self-adjustments.<br />
<br />
The bottom line for me:<br />
<ul>
<li>If you see "L. Ron Hubbard" as a byline - consider it pulp fiction.</li>
<li>If you see that on something purported to be factual and seems to be useful - take only that datum and then thoroughly research to find out who said it much earlier, and how they actually applied it.</li>
<li>Then quote the original author, not the fantasy.</li>

<br />
The symbols you surround yourself with reinforce the journey you are on.<br />
<br />
This is the reason Feng Shui works, and why people spend so much on houses, cars, clothes, and trinkets.<br />
<br />
But it's also how you build the life you want - surround yourself with the symbols of what you want, and they start showing up. You're building a habit of thinking. You're building a world. And you start this with assembling the props for your stage to act out your drama - or comedy.<br />
<br />
All the world's a stage, and all that.<br />
<br />
It's a simple technique, but workable.<br />
<br />
As well, you can use this to find out what may be preventing you from having what you want, being what you want.<br />
<br />
What is surrounding you right now either supports or distracts you from your journey. Go through your belongings, both at home, in your car or truck, at work - and see what you have there. Do these support and forward you on your choices or wants? If not, get rid of them, no matter how much they cost.<br />
<br />
Because things which don't support you just continue to cost you.<br />
<br />
Focus on what you want. Assemble the world you want around you - in pieces. These will then help you find just what you want in life - making your life into the one you want.<br />
<br />
There are more tools to use to bring what you want to you - or make it appear (your choice of metaphors.) Having a set of books and recordings to access will also reinforce your vision (or lack of it.)<br />
<br />
The point is that the symbols (and tools) you surround yourself with are either helping or hindering you on your journey.<br />
<br />
Most of what you are offered in our common world is just and only entertainment, or distraction. These aren't particularly tools or even useful symbols. Or they may be. As usual, and always, it's your choice.<br />
<br />
Out of all this stuff are a very small handful of very, very valuable tools and symbols. Something between 1 and 5 percent of everything you are offered. You have complete choice of what you accept, what you earn, what you utilize along your journey - all your world is a result of your choices.<br />
<br />
Some choose to let others make their choices for them. They have no freedom, or very little. Just to that degree others make their choices.<br />
<br />
What you surround yourself with are choice-results. Call them symbols, tools, or anything you like. The results you keep around you help you make your next choices. Those mementos then help you make your next decisions - and so on. The journey continues.<br />
<br />
That's life, after all. A series of choices. Each will give you more Freedom, or less, depending on how much responsibility you take in your decisions.<br />
<br />
- - - -<br />
<br />
I've made this as simple as I could. It's still a bit dense, though.<br />
<br />
Probably have to break it down into various parables.<br />
<br />
Always another step along your journey.<br />
<br />
Luck to us all. robertworstellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16109419616754661835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611442181912091078.post-59510475415761554042015-01-11T10:02:00.001-06:002015-01-12T11:14:55.264-06:00Huna - Max Freedom Long - Recovering the Ancient Magic<h1>

<br />
AFTER an eighteen-year study of Magic in its various forms—not the spurious magic of the stage, but the genuine magic that works miracles—I come as a layman to report my findings to other laymen.<br />
<br />
Fourteen years of my study have been spent largely in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=21.3113888889,-157.796388889&spn=3.0,3.0&q=21.3113888889,-157.796388889%20(Hawaii)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Hawaii">Hawaii</a> endeavoring to penetrate beyond the externals of native magic and discover its basic secret. I have been trying to learn the very secret of secrets which is guarded so carefully by those who know it.<br />
<br />
Months and years slipped by. I accumulated more and more <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Data">data</a> concerning the externals of kahuna magic. From that data I constructed theory after theory only to be forced to discard each in turn. I drew on psychology, psychic research, spiritualism, religions of all ages and kinds. I gathered more data, sorting and sorting, trying to match this odd bit with that, trying always to find some clue to the secret of power.<br />
<br />
And only when logic has been applied to the familiar can we come to the unfamiliar without some complexed belief promptly blinding us and making it impossible to judge with any degree of accuracy.<br />
<br />
It is my hope that those wiser than myself may be able to correct my theories, add what data I have been unable to uncover, and so help forward the full recovery of Magic toward the day when even the humblest of God’s children will be able to share in the bright heritage so long lost.<br />

<br />
DURING THE past century investigations have been made of native magic in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Africa">Africa</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.6133333333,77.2083333333&spn=10.0,10.0&q=28.6133333333,77.2083333333%20(India)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="India">India</a> and other parts of the world. Spiritualistic phenomena have been certified as genuine and studied painstakingly by over a hundred recognized scientists. Religions have been surveyed and the instant or nearly instant miraculous healing at <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lourdes" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Lourdes">Lourdes</a> verified. <br />
<br />
But from all these studies and efforts there has come nothing faintly resembling a definite basic system, philosophy, theory, or psycho-religious science which would explain, even in the most general terms, the phenomena of the various fields. In fact, investigations in these fields began to arrive at a stalemate several years ago. New discoveries have been conspicuously lacking. <br />

Meanwhile, in the years following 1880, in the little noticed field of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesia" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Polynesia">Polynesia</a>, there was begun an investigation which, after seventy years, has at last produced a general theory that promises to break the stalemate and provide answers for a host of puzzling questions. <br />
<br />
Efforts to apply the basic system and duplicate the most valued parts of kahuna practice, are expected to correct errors and to make possible the further perfecting of the system. <br />
<br />
A much fuller and more detailed account of the long investigation is planned when the last stage—the experimental stage—has added its quota. <br />

<br />
<b>Huna is a funny thing to study.</b> It doesn't act like other <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_philosophy" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Western philosophy">Western</a> studies, in that you have a beginning-middle-end. Nor it is Eastern, where guru's abound and are necessary to find your way.<br />
<br />
Huna seems to be there at every turn, much as the old Kahuna's would teach their <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Student">students</a>. “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Students wouldn't be told what to study or how. There were no <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Book">books</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_guide" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Study guide">study guides</a>, quizzes, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_examination" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Final examination">final exams</a>, and so on. <br />
<br />
The student, as life actually operates, must ask in order to receive. Unless the student poses the question, the teacher remains silent – well, mostly. But it's up to the student to search out questions which need to be asked.<br />
<br />
Max Freedom Long tells his own story in the first part of this book. Because of his background in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Thought" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="New Thought">New Thought</a> and psychology, he naturally gravitated to the native psycho-religious philosophy of Huna (his description.)<br />
<br />
And because of his breakthrough in finding that the philosophy survived the eons because it had been secreted into the language itself. <br />
<br />
When Long discovered Huna, he then found the base below all these other philosophies and the religions based on them. And so the light bulb came on and the explanations started rolling out. <br />
<br />
So now you have in your hands a “missing link” to understanding the universe and all its workings. Bottom up or top down. <br />

<br />
The word kahuna is an ancient term and is in use today. It is pronounced "kah-hoo-nah" and meant "keeper of the secret." The word for their secret lore was never found. The role of secrecy had been so strong and so well kept that it may never have been given a name... The name we used, for this reason, was <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huna_%28New_Age%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Huna (New Age)">Huna</a> (pronounced "hoo-nah"), which means "secret."<br />
<br />
Enough basic information will be incorporated in this book to give a working picture of the system of beliefs and practices upon which experimental work has been based.<br />
<br />
Interspersed with the instructions will be found explanations of the sources of conclusions, of symbols, words, and word-roots familiar to Huna, but which we also found in other <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Religion">religions</a>, mainly <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Christianity">Christianity</a>. These will tend to show that the meanings ascribed to Huna are well founded.<br />
<br />
That the same truth pervades all psycho-religious systems is apparent. The basic elements of Huna are part of the ancient wisdom found is some proportions in all religions. Huna is compatible with other systems. It interferes with none of them, but makes possible a greater understanding of the old truths. <br />

I believe that you need what most of us need at one time or another in our approach to Huna. This is something to keep the low self as well as the middle self thinking progressively along Huna lines day by day. It means absorbing the great truths, putting them gradually to work, so that they become a part of one in the course of a few months.<br />
<br />
Yes, I will gladly share with you the thoughts and ideas that have helped me to grow into Huna. I will give you the exercises and the affirmations which I have used, and I shall also try to be very simple in all that I have to say-but this will be hard. Only the very great have been able to attain simplicity, and I am not in that category. However, I have learned to see that when I encounter a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_screen" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Smoke screen">smoke screen</a> of long words, arguments, and pretensions to superior wisdom, the writer who has had the temerity to appoint himself to teach others is too often far from being great.<br />
<br />
One thing alone I will ask of you: that you keep in mind the fact that I am not a teacher, and that what I may now believe to be the last word in true understanding may have to be changed later on, as the search progresses. I am a student trying to share with you what I have learned and am <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Learning">learning</a>-what I have glimpsed as a bright vision of the things which may still be learned in the fullness of time.<br />

<br />
Using self-<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suggestion" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Suggestion">suggestion</a> is a simple process which may be divided into three steps: First, quite naturally, one must decide what is to be suggested to the low self by the middle self - to the subconscious by the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Consciousness">conscious mind</a> self. Second, one relaxes the body, stills the trains of thought that may be running through the mind, and, when the low self is in this way made ready to accept suggestion, the third step is taken. This third step is to give the suggestion to the low self either aloud or silently.<br />
<br />
One may succeed in getting some response from the low self on the very first attempt to use self-suggestion, but usually it takes a little period of practice before one gets a full and swift response.<br />
<br />
Now let us elaborate and detail the steps. It is best to begin with something very simple and easy. If the ultimate goal is a hard one like breaking a habit such as that of smoking or overeating, it is best to wait until the low self has been taught by easy stages to accept suggestion on lesser things, and has, become accustomed to react properly to bring about little changes. One learns to crawl, then to walk, and then to run. An attempt to reverse the process and start with the running cannot help but be a waste of time. <br />

In the year 1953 the presence of coded Huna information in the Bible was discovered. Since that time the research work has progressed, with a number of additional pieces of coded information uncovered. This book gives not only the later findings, but further expands the study to show similar coded information in the religions of the ancient Egyptians, Israelites, Buddhists and practitioners of Yoga. <br />
<br />
While some of the other languages used in Polynesia offer additional light on the multiple-meanings of words employed in the Huna code, the Hawaiian dialect has been found nearest to the form of the Code Language as used in inserting die secret meanings into parts of the Bible as well as into some of the contemporary Gnostic literature. <br />
<br />
While I have tried in this book to give a sufficient outline of what was believed by the early Polynesians before they migrated from their homeland to the islands of the Pacific, the student who wishes the complete picture and story of the uncovering of the “Secret” (which we call “Huna.”)<br />
<br />
The complete investigation of the Bible and Gnostic literature has not yet been finished, and the reader who wishes to do so may carry on for himself without much difficulty, once this book has been read and the research method is understood. <br />
<br />
Yesterday the unveiling of the coded knowledge would have been countered by the Church with burnings and any torture needed for the suppression of heresy. Today, happily, even the humblest Galileo is able safely to take up his telescope and peer into the realms of the new and strange.... . and still forbidden.<br />

It's not hard to survive living on this planet - but like <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.alicecooper.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Alice Cooper">Alice</a>, you have to run as hard as you can to stay in the same place.</h1>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ISCQ0K7QfW0/U-UZSgEx8tI/AAAAAAAAU44/SNVH35g-9wg/s1600/Alice-RedQueen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Like Alice and the Red Queen - all the running you do will still wind up where you are." border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ISCQ0K7QfW0/U-UZSgEx8tI/AAAAAAAAU44/SNVH35g-9wg/s1600/Alice-RedQueen.jpg" height="257" title="Like Alice and the Red Queen - all the running you do will still wind up where you are." width="400" /></a></div>
Sorry I haven't written you lately.<br />
<br />
But my running has kept me very, very busy.<br />
<br />
And that's the point today.<br />
<br />
Remember the old Huna, "<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=brRk1b3ATzQC" target="_blank"><b>Energy flows where attention goes.</b></a>"<br />
<br />
This is life in this universe, in this world, in our neighborhood - and in this body you occupy Now.<br />
<br />
What you want and need in this world is right outside you. Just reach out and grasp it, or let it go. Doesn't matter which. For the "<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=brRk1b3ATzQC" target="_blank">world is as you think it.</a>"<br />
<br />
When you set goals, you are setting yourself running toward a path. When you've decided you have attained that goal, then it arrives. The rest of it, and all the work you do, is just the journey.<br />
<br />
<b>Simple</b>.<br />
<br />
And every step you take is just as you've wanted it to be all this time.<br />
<br />
Where you ultimately wind up is Grace. Or not. Your choice.<br />
<br />
Grace = <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Zen">Zen</a> = <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_consciousness" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Higher consciousness">Christ Consciousness</a> = etc., etc. Call it anything you want.<br />
<br />
There is a point where nothing really matters, because Nothing really matters. (And when that statement makes sense, so will the rest of this.)<br />
<br />
All the work I've been doing lately has more than kept me amused. I've managed to <a href="http://selfhelpbook.midwestjournalpress.com/2014/01/2012-book-releases-self-help-bestsellers.html" target="_blank">get enough </a><a class="zem_slink" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Book">books</a> selling to not have to have a day job anymore, which is some relief. It lets me do and think whatever I want. (Like I don't have to shave but once a week - and then only because it starts itching too much.) And running around in t-shirts and blue jeans every day is quite comfortable. The most major decisions I have about wardrobe is what color t-shirt to wear. (In winter, I put a heavy coat over when I go outside, so the color is moot - but an amusing split-second of living.)<br />
<br />
OK - I've been working at assembling a bunch of material for you, so you can buy it and these books and whatnot will help you on your way to wherever you want to wind up.<br />
<br />
How this can be done is that I've narrowed down life's work into four separate, interacting elements and then populated them all with a selection of different books written by different people and published by me - just for you.<br />
<br />
Those four elements (<b>Mind, Body, Value, </b>and<b> Bliss)</b> all add up to <b>Grace</b>.<br />
<br />
As I covered in "<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=gznBkmPpaXgC&dq=freedom+is+robert+worstell&source=gbs_navlinks_s" target="_blank">Freedom Is</a>" - you can wind up at Grace whenever you want. Or go there and come back and then go there again, over and over. Your choice. It can take you months, lifetimes, or you can be there in the next instant.<br />
<br />
How long it takes is what you consider the journey to be.<br />
<br />
How hard you have to work at it is how hard you consider it is to attain.<br />
<br />
Whatever you want around you is exactly what shows up.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Everything else is just entertainment.</i><br />
<br />
Anyway - all the work I've been doing lately is just to simply give you more stuff to entertain yourself with along the journey. Too simple. (And it even only came to me while I was writing this, although I've been here before. Cute, eh? "...where energy flows.")<br />
<br />
Soon, I'll have another massive set of books up for you to enjoy. Lots of them. And like <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Watts" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Alan Watts">Alan Watts</a>, I'll be able to give you audio and video commentary on how these interact with each other and how they can help you improve your life and living - all that sort of stuff.<br />
<br />
Lots to do. Lots to keep me and you entertained on our respective journeys.<br />
<br />
Today's post was simply to tell you that you're on your way to where you want to be - and that you'll wind up there whenever you want to. Quite simple. Quite deadly earnest.<br />
<br />
But the real lesson is to enjoy each moment of your journey as much as you can. Starting Now.<br />

<h1>
<b>Why and How to Be a Modern-Day Hermit </b></h1>
<br />
<b>Short answer:</b> To make sense of the world.<br />
<br />
<b>Better</b>: To find Self, who was never really lost.<br />
<br />
Of course, there is a story behind this - one which has taken my whole life to journey.<br />
<br />
I grew up on a farm in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.5,-92.5&spn=3.0,3.0&q=38.5,-92.5%20(Missouri)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Missouri">Missouri</a>, and returned there when I got "fed up" with the corporate cult world I found myself living in. The world had quit making sense and had become more destructive as the veils slipped away one by one - disclosing the raw intentions of the people around me.<br />
<br />
But then as a child, I thought to be a hermit would be a wanted solution. None of what I was taught made very much sense. Classmates were often reacting more than acting sensibly.<br />
<br />
Once I finished high school (over my protests, and my mother's insistence) I left the state with an engineering firm. From there I traveled even further and wound up in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.0,-120.0&spn=10.0,10.0&q=37.0,-120.0%20(California)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="California">California</a>, working for a scam/cult which was so deeply intense that it took me 20 years to get to the heart of why it appeared to work, but actually didn't. (Hint: it ran on fear.)<br />
<br />
It was during a vacation on the family farm where I found two things:<br />
<ul>
<li>Peace was found in the heart, could be generated at will.</li>
<li>Some people were honestly caring and friendly, away from the press of cities.</li>
</ul>
None of the education or job experience I had acquired up to that point prepared me for the shock of discovering those. <br />
<br />
Since masses of people tend to compound the errors they were brought up to follow and repeat, I felt I needed to retire from these in order to study and understand that single point of unlimited peace I had found by accident - yet my long time in the corporate cult had not prepared me to find or accept.<br />
<br />
<i>Peace is an individual accomplishment. </i><br />
<br />
People massed up together don't seem to be able to achieve it, as their self-chosen programming mutually reinforces errors in logic and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Emotion">emotional response</a>.<br />
<br />
Individuals can achieve enlightenment, but not cultures, nations, or groups.<br />
<br />
So the effort to achieve <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_peace" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="World peace">world peace</a> is necessarily by reaching out to individuals and help them singly.<br />
<br />
And this is what is found to be effective in any marketing - there is no "mass appeal." There are aggregate desires which are common to the bulk of humanity at any given moment. But these are broad - security, freedom, control, respect, prosperity, etc. No one product is able to channel any of these to get mass appeal (and purchases) for any but the most fleeting periods (fads.)<br />
<br />
Even when given a choice of only two candidates, the bulk of the people in any nation seldom vote at all. This gives us a recent ploy of using an aggregate of "oppressed" minorities who can be gotten to the polls (in addition to having pets and zombies vote) to elect a politician instead of appealing to the true majority for a response. But politics is a game of control and enforcement. Which is why most people ignore it. And why comedians are becoming sought-after news sources about politics. (Did you know the one of the most most effective way to influence a politician in office - besides ample "campaign contributions" - is to very publicly laugh at them?)<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Learning to Ignore Conventional Wisdom</b></h3>
Probably<b> </b>the hardest lesson was accepting that the bulk of knowledge and wisdom out there is bunk. Actually worthless shinola.<br />
<br />
True, the way our culture is set up, this data keeps people alive as long as they follow the trudging footsteps laid out for them. Government keeps getting in the way with their obstacles, and business keeps finding ways around those and other obstacles.<br />
<br />
But there is no real system, just a patchwork quilt of "now you're supposed to's" which lead to a very, very complicated way of life which ultimately leaves you broke and dependent. We're just talking <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_culture" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Western culture">Western Culture</a> here, which is rapidly being spread around the globe as the "new normal".<br />
<br />
There is an old saw which I'd first encountered with Earl Nighingale - that out of one hundred people, maybe 5 people will become rich, maybe 15 more will wind up even, and the rest will be broke by the end of their lifetime.<br />
<br />
And we aren't talking about the uber-rich, which is really a smaller percentage, closer to .01 percent than the "1%" typically repeated in the "mainscream media."<br />
<br />
Rich is actually anything beyond financially free. And it's nothing anyone/everyone couldn't achieve with a little study and work.<br />
<br />
You, however, have to have a "millionaire mindset" in order to get there. Now I'm not talking about having a million bucks. I'm saying that you have to be willing to be one in a million in your mindset, your belief system, in order to accomplish it.<br />
<br />
Because the world is set up, as Nightingale covered in his "Strangest Secret" recording, to ensure the least among us can still succeed. So the rest have to carry their burden along with our own. Just the way life is set up these days.<br />
<br />
It doesn't mean you have to carry more burden than necessary, however.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The 80/20 Secret Rule to Success</h3>
All the most powerful laws and rules seem to be hidden in plain site.<br />
<br />
One of these is the 80/20 <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Pareto principle">Pareto Principle</a>, where an economist observed that out of any given wheat field, 80% of the crop comes from 20% of the acres planted. It's been observed by others to be true in different fields - such as 80% of any business income comes from 20% of their clients. And 80% of the problems in an organization can be traced to just 20% of the employees.<br />
<br />
This has another split, which shows up empirically as about 97/3 or 99/1. In any given population, the police force finds that about 97% of the crimes are committed by the same 3% of the population - a small town will only have to look up a handful of the same people to find out who committed that crime. Shades of "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Casablanca">Casablanca</a>'s" rounding up the 'usual suspects' for interview.<br />
<br />
And if you narrow down your own activities to just that 3% or even 1% of all that you do, then you'll find yourself focusing on just those few things which make all the difference in your own life. Perry Marshall has recently become championing this one concept. There is also a book by Gary Keller called "The One Thing" that helps you narrow down your attention to just those few items which bring you nearly all your income, bliss, and cheer.<br />
<br />
This also brings up ignoring the usual data streams which keep you tied up and distracted by the constant stream of ineffective and false datums which the politicians and their mainscream media lackeys push to preserve their control over your life and everyone else's.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Between 97% and 99% of all you run into as "vital data" in any field is pure bunk.</b></div>
<br />
You'll find that if you simply dig a little bit below what is "successful" you'll find the real tips and tricks that make it all work.<br />
<br />
If you read books by people who have done studies on wide swaths of a category and boiled this all down, you'll find simple and common-sensical datums which you probably already know - but were submerged under all sorts of interpretations.<br />
<br />
Dr. Thomas J. Stanley wrote two bestsellers, "The Millionaire Next Door" and "The Millionaire Mind." In this, he consistently shows that millionaires are created sheerly by their own bootstrap efforts every single year. These are focused individuals who achieve their wealth by being frugal and reinvesting any spare wealth into passive income sources on a continuing basis. There are no real secrets to this - it's an extension of the "get ahead" mentality which all 2nd generation immigrants have in common. The 3rd generation doesn't get it, and will often inherit wealth and the better education their rich parent afford them. That education, however, is their doom - they will stay stuck in the middle class and will probably only break even at the end of their lives.<br />
<br />
The two top all-time bestsellers on success are Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Both of these authors studied literally hundreds of people and their lives to extract the few key data which can create success for any person.<br />
<br />
You want to collect a library of books where the author studied and extracted data in this fashion. Study, restudy, then memorize these and then find your own success paved ahead of you. Ignore everything else. Too simple. <br />
<br />
<h3>
Learning<b> Sensible Solutions </b></h3>
This is the crux of why I had to remove myself from any city or concentration of people. Any environment you have reinforces your belief-system. The people you live with or near, their reactions - all these will assist you to adopt mental programs which enable you to best survive in that environment.<br />
<br />
If you don't have a program for a particular situation, the people around you will provide you with suggestions based on conventional wisdom.<br />
<br />
And forget trying to figure out what makes sense if you are constantly interrupted or distracted in your chain of thought. That's why libraries are quiet. City life, with it's sirens and overloud street music, neighbors with their arguments and TV shows blaring - that won't give you anything except the "Muggle" version of success. The "Average", the "Ordinary."<br />
<br />
There's no truth in the idea that "thoughts are contagious." It is true that people seem to process inputs around them for about 3 days. (And while a mental habit can be replaced in 30-40 days with conscious effort, any belief-system you've adopted wholesale - such as cult practices - will take around 10-12 years a before they quit cropping up every day - you've been depending on these for so long, you are going to have to replace a huge amount of mental habits.)<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the "News" and Academia (as well as public schools) only teach how to be average, how to hold a job, how to get along. None teach you how to entrepreneur, how to get rich, how to become insanely successful.<br />
<br />
You can see now why you should leave the TV turned off (or donate it to charity, or make it into a TiVo-clone and only view to what you want. Meanwhile, get your news and weather from the Internet, where you can pick and verify your news-sources.) <br />
<br />
Because their definition of "success" is having and keeping a 9-to-5 job and being nice to everyone you meet, not saying anything that might offend anyone. They don't even teach how to retire successfully.<br />
<br />
The successful, meanwhile, are the ones who often have numerous "failures" in start-ups both before and after their "big break" which makes them insanely rich. They learn from these failures and even their successes out so that on the whole they are far more successful than unsuccessful in anything and most everything they attempt.<br />
<br />
Our schools and mainscream media only celebrate the one-in-a-million stars whose trail no one can actually follow. What they don't show is the immoral backroom deals politicians inevitably have to agree to in order to get elected. They don't show the complete nightmare any celebrity has when they no longer have any privacy and have to spend enormous sums on security in order to protect what's left of their privacy.<br />
<br />
Anyone can get rich. Whether one wants to be rich <i>and</i> famous is a different question entirely. You won't learn either in school, however. This is why the vast majority of the richest top 20 in America never finished college. They couldn't learn what they wanted to know inside those straitjacketed curricula.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>How to Discover What's </b>True</h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">You</span> start by throwing away. You have a 1-in-5 chance that any person or datum or text you encounter will be lying to your face - even if they are just repeating what someone else said.<br />
<br />
So you have to be willing to throw away the bulk of what you study or read or see or hear.<br />
<br />
Again, study people who have done real-life studies. Not academic controlled experiments. Napoleon Hill studied over 500 of the actual makers and shakers of his day. Dale Carnegie is reputed to have critiqued over 150,000 speeches from the people who paid to take his speaking course - average folks. Stephen Covey studied 200 years of American self-help literature before he wrote his "7 Habits" of Highly Effective People."<br />
<br />
<h3>
The "Accidentally Rich" Can't Teach You Much</h3>
The worst advice I've ever seen were from people who accidentally got rich early in life and then considered themselves an expert in that area. One guy struggled for years at MLM before he found out people made more money selling training to MLMer's than they did in MLM itself - and then started making millions with Internet Marketing schemes, not any Network Marketing opportunity itself. If it weren't for hiring someone to take over that business, he would have blown all those millions on "doo-dads" such as expensive cars and wasteful business practices. In fact, his advice simply won't work - unless you extract what <i>actually</i> makes it work and discard all the rest.<br />
<br />
(In Internet Marketing, there is a little group of people who are self-styled guru's and make money from the naive. They refer to each other and pay affiliate sales to their fellow "guru's" who have big mailing lists of greenhorns who are addicted to the "get rich quick" bug. You'll find they are each chasing the "next big thing" and teach nothing basic or long-term. In short, they are selling expensive edutainment without any real value. Blind leading the blind. Keep your day job - you'll need it.) <br />
<br />
You may also want to invest in books which are continuing bestsellers long after their authors died. The truths in these books, as well as the quality of presentation, still continue to remain true. Look at Aesop's Fables, the Gospels of Jesus, Lao Tze's Tao, Sun Tzu's Art of War. There are more modern books, such as Norman Vincent Peale's "Power of Positive Thinking" which have been found widely workable by millions.<br />
<br />
The main test is, "Will it work for me?" Not everything any one writer says will work for everyone or anyone. You have to be willing to reject everything until proven (especially what I say.) Only you can prove if what you read, hear, or see is workable for you - whether it will make you more successful in life.<br />
<br />
It's not all the glowing reviews on Amazon which make it a good book - it's whether the majority of what that author says actually ends up helping you. Last I checked, the majority of book reviews were false or just suck-ups. Like Internet Marketing, where these "testimonials" are faked or exaggerated.<br />
<br />
Statistically, it's one in 10,000 who will make an actual success in any line of business or any opportunity or any training course. 3 percent will finish the course. Just 3 percent of <i>those</i> will make their money back. Only 3 percent of that last bunch will become an outrageous success. Do the math: 1/10,000.<br />
<br />
Same goes for people you work with. Accept help conditionally. Hire slowly, fire quickly. See if you can contract out specific functions for a fixed payment. Hire services with no future commitments. These people will do decent work for you or they'll be replaced with someone else's company. Way different from having people suck up in order to keep their job.<br />
<br />
Last piece of advice: <i>fire your boss.</i> This will give you more freedom than you can imagine. Your success has always and only been in your own hands. Everything which isn't leveraging your time invested is a time-suck. A fixed amount per hour or per year is a waste of your time. Passive income from producing a single product you then re-sell over and over (especially digital products which have almost no overhead) is the best leverage for your time.<br />
<br />
Anyone who tells you otherwise is just holding you back. Fire them. I've been there, done that. A J.O.B. just means "Just Over Broke" - you work only hard enough to not get fired, and they only pay you enough to keep you from quitting. If it weren't for your bills, you wouldn't need to keep that job. Get rid of your bills and get rid of your job. Get enough passive income coming in to cover your monthly expenses - then any income after that can be reinvested toward getting as rich as you want to be. It's just that simple. <br />
<br />
<h3>
Summary</h3>
<ul>
<li>These data above I've learned from the School of Hard Knocks. I've worked at a variety of jobs - entry-level and management. I've done freelance. But the best boss I've ever had is myself, as well as the best employee I've ever hired.</li>
<li>I've had some good bosses in my time. Some who really cared. But they all got fired one way or another. And I finally quit hiring them. </li>
<li>I only really started getting rich after I became a hermit and threw away everything I had been told, replacing it with what I'd learned from my own testing. </li>
<li>The best truths I've found were found in multiple books by different authors, but almost written the same.</li>
<li>Study people who have studied people and boiled down what they knew. Then boil that knowledge down for yourself. </li>
<li>Quit following the herd. Spend your days in quiet study. Narrow down what you've learned into those data which consistently and routinely work - for you.</li>
<li>If you have to, go be a hermit for awhile (after you arrange your finances so you can.)</li>
<li>You're already a success - you just have to manifest it. Throw away all reasons you can't and you'll only be left with reasons you can.</li>

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>There is no cause-effect.</b><br />
<br />
Meaning that all "Science" is built on a lie.<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm even a bit surprised to realize this after years with this data to hand.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>The lowest common philosophic denominator discovered so far is the Huna principle. "The World Is What You Think It Is." Or, rephrased, "You Get What You Create."</li>
<li>This means you create the cause and you create the effect. Go back to "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Extended-Non-USA-PAL/dp/B000KK22GU%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000KK22GU" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="The Secret (Extended Edition) [Non USA PAL] - All Regions">The Secret</a>" <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="DVD">DVD</a> and listen to those quantum physicists again. They found that they'd find whatever they were looking for. If they changed the goal of the experiment, they'd change the result - even if the experiment was run exactly the same way.</li>
<li>You get the effect you want (or that you resist.)</li>
<li>There is no <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causation_%28law%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Causation (law)">actual cause</a> and effect. There is apparent cause and effect, but you have to agree with the outcome before you can experience it.</li>
<li>So if you aren't experiencing the result you "wanted" - then you simply have to change your mind.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
The core book to study in this area would then be <a href="http://selfhelpbook.midwestjournalpress.com/2014/01/claude-bristol-magic-believing-self-help-book.html" target="_blank">"Magic of Believing" by Claude M. Bristol</a>.<br />
<br />
If you chased this back further, you'd find that you have to "love" your way out of any problem you are having. Because Love is the actual universal solvent.<br />
<br />
Shades of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Jesus">Jesus'</a> "Love your neighbor as yourself." Which of course goes back to the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Golden Rule">Golden Rule</a> - which in turn shows up in the second Huna principle, "There Are No Limits." (Or - "We Are All Connected."<br />
<br />
Without Cause and Effect, there is really only Responsibility for Condition. Whatever you are experiencing is, bluntly, your own damned fault.<br />
<br />
All my venting about critical people still has valid advice to keep them at least a barge-pole's distance - <i>but - </i>if you are feeling anything except a calm, cheerful expectancy...<br />
<br />
<b>Changing your mind requires being completely responsible for your own condition</b> - <i>as well as everyone else's. </i>Nobody caused your emotional reaction except yourself. Get over it. Start <i>loving</i> them back.<br />
<br />
And yes, now metaphysics trumps any <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_science" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Hard and soft science">hard science</a> out there. Thanks to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Quantum mechanics">quantum mechanics</a>.<br />
<br />
Means we should really study some puppy-dogs to see how to improve our ability to share unconditional love.<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
Read this a few times through for yourself. See if it doesn't make some major shifts.<br />

<br />
Opened an email the other day and only had to scan it, not read it.<br />
<br />
It was worthless, actually.<br />
<br />
It contained only<br />
<ul>
<li>Shame</li>
<li>Blame</li>
<li>Regret</li>
</ul>
<br />
What that author was trying to enforce on me was<br />
<ul>
<li>Control</li>
<li>Disapproval</li>
<li>Insecurity</li>
</ul>
<br />
What I was looking for were<br />
<ul>
<li>Education</li>
<li>Enlightenment</li>
<li>Entertainment</li>
</ul>
<br />
That email was useless. Like watching the news on TV.<br />
<br />
Emotion is internally, personally generated. It doesn't have to be an automatic program.<br />
<br />
Peace of mind is also internally, personally generated. You can also learn to turn this on or off at will.<br />
<br />
People (and marketers, politicians, reporters) who use emotional appeal can only affect you if you let them.<br />
<br />
You gotta ask yourself: "Does this person want to help me improve my life in some way? Or are they just wanting to sell me something?" <br />
<br />
Start learning to throw away anything which is useless.<br />
<br />
Start ignoring people who aren't<br />
<ul>
<li>supportive, </li>
<li>creative, </li>
<li>positive.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Life is too short to burn your time on minor, petty issues.</b><br />
<br />
Practice an attitude of<br />
<ul>
<li>Calm</li>
<li>Cheerful</li>
<li>Expectancy</li>
</ul>
that the world is giving you everything you could possibly want or need. <br />
<br />
Because that's the bottom-line truth.<br />
<br />
Everything else is a fiction, a distraction.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

<h1>
Of all the people who haunt my dreams and thoughts, the worst are those who I thought brilliant and turned out to be stupid. </h1>
<br />
If you chase up their back-trail, you'll find that they became that way because they accepted lessons and examples around them without examining them. And these tend to rise up again and again (like a badly-cooked meal) so you can figure out what lessons you should be getting from these.<br />
<br />
The Western humorist <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Rogers" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Will Rogers">Will Rogers</a> laid out the three ways a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Person">person</a> can learn:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A person can get themselves <b>educated</b>.<br />
Or a person can learn by <b><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observation" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Observation">observation</a></b>.<br />
But some people only learn by peeing on an electric fence and finding out through <b><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Experience">experience</a></b>.</blockquote>
Since I deal with <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_fence" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Electric fence">electric fences</a> every day as I feed my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_feeding" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Cattle feeding">grass fed</a> cattle their next meal, you could understand that I have learned quite a bit about fences. (I started by reading the manual...)<br />
<br />
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stupidity" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Stupidity">Stupid people</a> never evaluate the lessons they are given, but accept them wholesale. Their life becomes a very long <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Learning">learning</a> experience as others around them have to almost beat it into their head that certain actions cause certain other reactions.<br />
<br />
Like being critical of others makes them leave you alone. And soon you have a very small circle of acquaintances who will deal with you - but few true friends, if any. <br />
<br />
The underlying core approach is to let any identity or individuality go - and learn by first just observing what is going on. Simplest: Just Be.<br />
<br />
Then take that idea and test it a dozen ways in your mind. If it still seems plausible, then test it in a real-world situation - or several.<br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>Don't take <u>anyone</u>'s word for it.</b> <i>Especially</i> if they are a celebrity or arrogantly demand you look up to them (by being critical of other competitors.)<br />
<br />
You want to take all advice (starting with this one) and test it against what you've already observed, and studied, and your own similar experiences. Only if they hold together as true through this can you then test it in the real world.<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter how many glowing testimonials as person can accumulate, or rave 5-star reviews. <br />
<br />
What matters is if any given datum actually is useful to you to improve your own life. That is the acid test.<br />
<br />
And if you ever get the chance to sit down and start at the beginning of your own education, observations, and experience - to test each and every datum you have to see if it actually worked in the past and works now: <b>take that chance.</b><br />
<br />
Once you know for yourself exactly what works and what doesn't, then you'll know more about yourself than anyone could ever tell you. You'll know better what you are here for and what you want to accomplich, acquire, or attain. At that point, you can figure out what you should be doing, and how you need to be as a person - what identity is appropriate to do those acctions in order to get where you want to wind up.<br />
<br />
Unless, in examining yourself, you've already arrived.<br />
<br />
At that point, you can sit on that bliss-point forever - or pick out a new goal that looks interesting.<br />
<br />
Your choice.<br />
<br />
Let's just not be stupid from here on out, OK?<br />

Doing some intense study with the Masters of Marketing Secrets and Copyblogger Authority - which has shifted my mind immensely.<br />

That tells everything about how our modern media (and government) is acting and why. It also tells how people are widely rejecting that influence in their lives. And why marketing is changing drastically from what it's been up to this point.<br />
<br />
We are really dealing with the situation of that 97/3 or 99/1 percentages. The bulk of humanity is at the effect of their emotions - which is a self-willed activity, since they created their emotional patterns and programs to begin with.<br />
<br />
If you release all these programs, then you can get outside the traps of conventional wisdom and start living simpler and more peaceful lives.<br />
<br />
Marketing will always be part of such lives, as it is a communication to our journey. We should each understand it fully and master it's complexities. Below is an overview which forces these into simpler statements. <br />
<br />
<h3>
Freud's Foibles</h3>
The biggest problem within marketing is that they don't understand the true <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivation" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Motivation">motivations</a> of humankind, since the bulk of this is based on stimulus-response studies which are in turn based on Freud's study of the insane. There isn't a similar magnitude study of the successful as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Abraham Maslow">Maslow</a> did.<br />
<br />
Advertising (and all "news" media) are into this rabid "avoiding pain instinct is stronger than seeking pleasure." And that immensely shortcuts the wealth of data which tells you why and how a person will respond to your marketing, your communication. It also leads down a more and more limiting rabbit hole (which is why more people are rejecting what passes currently for both advertising and "news".)<br />
<br />
While the bulk of humanity is also seeking entertainment, it's not true that people are trying to always trying to avoid their personal journey. In fact, the apparency is that people have few choices other than either doing their journey or not-doing their personal journey. (To say any of us has a single journey is also in error - there are journeys within journeys and journeys following journeys. Every journey is a metaphor - if that doesn't warp your reality a bit...)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Entertainment can be said to be a simple distraction from the business-end of living. It exists with education and enlightenment as the three types of valid marketing approaches. These have application to the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Hero's">Hero's</a> (Heroine's) Journey, which gives us a pragmatic handle on marketing.<br />
<br />
Roughly speaking, there are two-flip sides to Campbell's mono-myth which are divided right at the journey start, and the rebirth/metamorphosis. You have the travel to and the return. Both halves encounter various trials.<br />
<ul>
<li>Entertainment is doing something else than whatever it is you should really be doing to progress on your journey. </li>
<li>Enlightenment happens at both crux points. </li>
<li>Education is needed to help survive the trials, solve the puzzles, and meet/survive all the challenges. </li>
</ul>
<br />
All of these are themselves just meta-scenes, which can be understood by Huna's four methods: objective, subjective, symbolic, and holistics. The most optimal solution solves them in all four ways at once. None of this is written in stone, there is no single correct answer, and "no school has all the teachers."<br />
<br />
<h3>
Back to our Marketing Hero</h3>
That really gives you a short-hand solution to the basic problem all the Marketing Masters never solved. Each of them had a piece of the puzzle, which is only being solved now in our Internet Age - when all the historic data is readily available in digital format.<br />
<br />
The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Marketing">Marketer</a> must work to become self-transcendant, and always create to help others live their lives in order to improve the Marketer's own.<br />
<br />
So the motivations stem from Maslow's observations, which are actually more powerful than the motivations which are found in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sigmund Freud">Freudian</a>-based psychology and its related research (the ones which ignore the spiritual basis of life to concentrate on the material.) Physical and Spiritual are just two of the four approaches to living (see Huna above.) A balance is required for optimal results.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(<b>Sidebar</b>: While Cialdini (in his "Influence" book) has studied the 7 points which marketing has used and abused to make their sales, the only more basic work along this line has been Levenson, who sorted out that the glue holding all of these motivations together were the urge to increase or escape control, security, approval, and belongingness - with an underlying motivation of "fear of death," which is actually a problem in losing/retaining individuality. See my "Get Your Self Scam Free" book.)</blockquote>
<br />
<h3>
Campbell's Soup: Marketing's Missing Ingredient</h3>
That is the breakthrough which came to me. Why I write it here rather than on a marketing blog is that it's so philosophical in it's native state that no marketer would accept it. Those are very pragmatic types with the mindset: "But will it make me more money?"<br />
<br />
Schwartz' "Breakthrough Advertising" starting talking this way at the end of his book, but he missed the next step. When you stir in Campbell's Monomyth into Marketing, you see what's been missing this entire time - you also get an explanation as to why the incredibly successful marketing campaigns worked.<br />
<br />
Marketing works when it forwards a journey with products that "make sense" (meaning, both emotionally and logically simultaneously) by filling a symbolic, practical, rational, and holisitic need - preferably all at the same time. In short, they provide a useful tool for continuing the journey (or avoiding it.)<br />
<br />
You need only determine which part of the journey your avatar-customer/client is looking for and communicate to them with that reality/understanding.<br />
<br />
Within those paragraphs above lies a definition of "desire" which explains what star you hitch your marketing wagon to. (Yes, a study of Scwartz' book makes this easier, although I should be starting a series of lessons on that Masters of Marketing Secrets blog soon.)<br />
<br />
<h3>
"What's It All Mean Mr. Natural?"</h3>
The shorthand version of this is then:<br />
<ul>
<li>Everyone has a personal journey they are on. </li>
<li>People are motivated to either continue their journey or avoid it. Maslow, Cialdini, and Levenson list these.</li>
<li>Marketing is communication which enables people to get tools to assist or avoid their journey. </li>
<li>The consumer/client is always the protagonist (hero/heroine) of that journey, the marketer is preferably the Mentor (but could fit another archetype.)</li>
<li>The best-selling marketing campaigns have provided optimal solutions of one or more (or all) of subjective, objective, symbolic or holistic natures.</li>
</ul>
There is no "bad" way to do marketing. You can run out of money to advertise with.<br />
<br />
You cannot market something to someone they don't want or desire. Or not for very long. Once you've tricked someone once, you are shunned thereafter. The point is to treat others as you'd like to be treated, which balances things out for everyone. In order to improve your life radically, you are going to have to be working at improving other people's lives radically. Screw people over and find yourself screwed.<br />
<br />
Too simple. None of us truly are individuals, as hard as we work at it - because we are all connected.<br />
<br />
The point of this is to help you improve how you interact with others.<br />
<br />
<b>That's Marketing.</b><br />

We don't have to wait for the various preacher's predictions to come true. Or that the Left Behind are already left. (Here's a fitting Sunday sermon.)<br />
<br />
Some simple logic you can look up for yourself:<br />
<br />
1) The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingship_and_kingdom_of_God" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Kingship and kingdom of God">Kingdom of God</a> is Within You. (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Luke%2017:21" target="_blank">Luke 17:21</a>)<br />
2) The World is What You Think It is (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huna_(New_Age)" target="_blank">Serge Kahili King</a>)<br />
3) As within, so without (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_tablet" target="_blank">The Emerald Tablet</a> - <a href="http://treeofknowledgecoven.com/2012/07/01/as-above-so-below-as-within-so-without-as-the-universe-so-the-soul/" target="_blank">loosely translated</a>)<br />
<br />
<b>Meaning that if you feel people are being critical of you, perhaps it was <i>you</i> that cast the first stone? </b>Have you been critical of others in the past? <i>So now do you want them to apologize for being critical of you?</i><br />
<br />
The solution is of course to <i>bless</i> all those who you encounter, and to live in <i>grace</i> Now - letting go of all the old mental habits which may have gotten you into some negative state.<br />
<br />
The mental habits which have resulted in a positive state (more peace, simplicity, and ease in your life - as well as prosperity, good health) should be encouraged and re-enforced.<br />
<br />
No, you should reject what I say. Unless and until you prove it for yourself, it won't be worth any more than the (digital) words you see.<br />
<br />
But it is a way to live in Heaven right now, instead of waiting for it. Or simply continue the Hell-on-<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Earth">Earth</a> which some say is inevitable.<br />
<br />
Of course, most of these quotes above are varied, and have different interpretations. So the logic is able to be disputed. If it is true for you, however, then all the world is open to you.<br />
<ul>
<li>For those straw-splitters among us who consider "kingdom of God" and "kingdom of Heaven" to be different, <a href="http://www.gotquestions.org/kingdom-heaven-God.html" target="_blank">here's a study of this point</a>.</li>
<li>That <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Huna-Ancient-Hawaiian-Secrets-Modern/dp/1582702012%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1582702012" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="Huna: Ancient Hawaiian Secrets for Modern Living">Huna</a> link shows the controversy about the subject.</li>
<li>And the Emerald Tablet only still exists in various translations.</li>
</ul>
<div>
The point is that you can decide on the actions you take, the words you send to others. In that way, you change the world around you into the one you want.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your choice.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
The critical person cannot accept even open-handed help until they learn <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humility" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Humility">humility</a>.</h2>
But don't hold your breath until they do. They are going to have to radically change their mind to even see, let alone understand, that anyone's welfare depends on how they treat others. (A natural law, actually.)<br />
<br />
You're best approach is to nod and smile, say pleasant things if anything - then move on with your life.<br />
<br />
The person who can't say anything without putting a critical remark in there about someone or something in their lives (yes, I know, that's a tough habit to break - from experience) also thinks this way. Constantly. They have an esteem problem, they are in constant denial that anything is wrong with them at all - and everything is an offense. A version of paranoia, to be blunt.<br />
<br />
These are the only type of person who it's useless to apologize to. Because there are two types of apologies:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
a) When you actually screwed up and actually hurt someone or something that person cared about, and<br />
b) when that person got "offended" in some way from their imagined slight.</blockquote>
<br />
Right now we have several "over-vocal" <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_group" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Minority group">minority groups</a> which make it nearly impossible to have an honest opinion go public. (Ex: Former CEO <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.mozilla.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Mozilla">Mozilla</a>, current <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/los-angeles-clippers" rel="sbnationnba" target="_blank" title="Los Angeles Clippers">Clippers</a> MBA owner.) Such groups are supported by various factions in the media and government who want to remain in power, so are bending over backwards to do anything these people want. "Racist" and "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexism" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sexism">Sexist</a>" are the two common terms being used - and the white male minority is their usual target.<br />
<br />
All of these people, critical. All of them are intolerant of others. And they don't really think you have any right to disagree with them or say anything at all, really (except for sucking up to their magnificence.)<br />
<br />
Do you need to apologize when <i>you've</i> done nothing wrong - but <i>their</i> "feelings" are hurt? No. Emotions are created by the individual to support their own mindset, their <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_view" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="World view">world-view</a>. (Emotional response is programmed in by the person themselves.)<br />
<br />
You only apologize in such circumstances if you consider you have to in order to help them get their emotions out of the way - in order to get back into production on your mutual goals.<br />
<br />
And if you have no mutual goals you are working on? Then move on with your life. "These things too, shall pass."<br />
<br />
Again, if you consider this may apply to you (<i>especially</i> if you are "offended" in reading this) look over your own communications from a distant view - as if you are someone else reading these emails. See if you haven't been <i>completely</i> gracious in what you've been saying. Is every word you used either objective, factual, or supportive? <i>Every</i> word?<br />
<br />
Then there is something to improve on.<br />
<br />
Humility can seem painful to swallow at first. But it grows on you. The reason for this is that you really only exist to the degree others around you are supportive. The more you help others, the better you get along in life. Survival and all that.<br />
<br />
But the more you say critical things, even think critical <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Thought">thoughts</a> - this is directly lessening your own survival. People don't want to support you when you are being nasty in return for their efforts.<br />
<br />
Criticism. Is. Directly. Lessening. Your. Survival. With. Every. Thought.<br />
<br />
Start today by letting these critical thoughts go, like any bad habit. Take a breath, relax. Then observe things as the really, actually are. Work out how to rephrase whatever you were just about to say to now be at least accurate, if not constructively supportive. Leave any <i>possibly</i> critical word or phrase out.<br />
<br />
Then you start winning your way in life in every way you look. Only to the degree you can insist your writing, speech (and eventually, even your thoughts) are consistently accurate and constructive to everyone around you.<br />
<br />
Take no offense and leave none. Two ways of happy living.<br />
<br />
PS. If you are surrounded by critical people? Limit your contact. Nod and smile at whatever they say. Be constructive in return to any noise they utter. Find a better way of making a living if you have to. Life is what you make it. Don't limit yourself by having to constantly "keep the peace." You are probably better off leaving such a conversation, such a relationship. Work on only constructive things. Support positive people always. Turn off what passes for "news" these days. Just Be.<br />
