Announcing the End of Life as We Knew It (But Always Suspected...)

End of The World: Endless Abundance, Health, and Happiness for Everyone.

Surprised? Don't be.

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.)

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.

North Korea vs. South Korea. The poverty and lack in the North is a painful facade created by it's politicians.

When the artists who created "We Are The World" album toured the countries they raised money for, they found out that all the starvation was created by the government.

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.

I'll leave you instead to find your own examples.

So, why am I announcing this now?

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.

We live lives of endless anything and everything. All we want to be and have can be easily achieved, acquired, or attained.

Just read the classics. Study the non-conventional books, most of which are public domain now - and copies can be gotten for free.

Isn't that weird? It will cost you less to get endlessly rich, perfectly healthy, and constantly happy than being broke, sick, and emotionally torn.

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.

My solution is a four-element system anyone can learn and use.

1) Clear your Mind.
2) Clear your Body.
3) Clear up the Value you give others.
4) Clear up the Bliss you seek.

This isn't for everyone. In fact, I'd say that this exact route isn't for anyone but me. The reason is: it won't work the same way on any two people.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

That same problem says why you have to find your own way out of the mess we've all helped create.

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.

Even while the rest of the world goes to flaming hell.

Sorry for them. Good for us. Reason we aren't them? Because we want to get better. 

The people around you who are constantly critical are also physically ill, live from paycheck to paycheck, and aren't too happy about anything.

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.

Is that too simple? Check it out - don't believe anything I say.

When will this library be available for study?

Over the next few weeks, I'll be setting this system up for anyone to access.

The funny thing is that I can't give it away, even while I want to.

Because like freedom, health, and happiness - they are all native to every individual: but what we have given to us, we don't value. What we will pick up and study are those things we have to work and pay for.

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 World Peace breaks out permanently, maybe I'll start giving it to charities who prove they can actually 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.

Then the world will be a better place, even faster than it's already moving towards.

Only about 1% of the world will need to do these courses.

The reason being is that this amount can be the tipping point to achieve World Peace.

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.

Malthus 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.

The two greatest civilizing influences in the world have been Christianity and Buddhism, both of which were based on understanding yourself and the people around you. (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.)

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.

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.

(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?)

The End Times Cometh

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.

All that needs to be done in our modern "Internet Age" is to make these materials readily available to everyone.

But, as I said - that's already been done.

The problem is that people don't know what they don't know.

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?)

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.

Funny, huh?

Somehow, I've backed myself (and you) into becoming evangelists for this stuff.

Even though it's already free, and available on smartphones all over the world.

It's an awareness we need to change. 

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...)

Nature has interesting ways of enforcing itself, not always pleasant ones.

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.

Now the world starts changing faster than it already has. 

Inevitable.

The whole point to these lessons is to help that change become more enjoyable and more entertaining.

You'll get richer, healthier, and happier. It's also inevitable.

Because the world we used to know is over. A new one is taking its place.

Our job is to enjoy the ride.

The Two Sides of Living Which Haunt Your Dreams

I didn't ask to wake to this, neither did you - but is it a choice?

There is living, which is composed of the physical and the spiritual. You can't really separate the two.

Because they are linked by something we call "mind." You can't use your physical senses to perceive mind, but you can "sense" it. Some can even sense the presence of other minds - but the jury is out whether it's just one Self and the rest are compartments, like some virtual machine running in a made-up "box."

While the physical, by all legends, myths, and philosophies, was created to keep us occupied - a game is a good metaphor - the spiritual is more unexplored and also just keeps going seemingly forever.

Like the astronomers who build bigger and bigger telescopes - they just keep finding more to see. So it is when you look "within" to find any limits to the spiritual side of you - there aren't any. Not really.

Just as "there are no limits" between you and I and anyone/everyone else.

However, politicians/government, media, most business, and anything that people complain about - they all hold these limits to be more real than their own dreams, hopes, and loves.  They are playing the game of "control", "power", anything represented by that intangible symbol "Money."

Complaining is a way to make things separate from you  and so play a game with them as an opponent or competitor.

At the end of the day, you sleep. Then all this disappears for a time.

The next day, you recreate this game again.

In between, it is said that you have been creating other worlds and existences.

People who "die" in their sleep have been said to simply find a better game to play.

Yet death may be an incredibly better world - Google the last words of Steve Jobs, or read/watch "What Dreams May Come."

People fear death -  and base all their emotions on this single fear - as they have this power of choice to "be an individual" and "make their own destiny" (or as politicans and the media have it: "leave a legacy.")

Just games to play.

Try this: Play the Game of Peace. You'll end up having to start with finding/creating peace within yourself, first. You cannot enjoy peace around you if you are involved in internal turmoil and discussion.

Perhaps, once you find that "peace is portable," then you'll see that World Peace has always only been a single thought away - and it surrounds you as it always had.

For any person is their own worst competitor, their own Nemesis.

The "power" used against you is only that which you grant others - which means you create it in order to play this physical game which surrounds us.

At the end of the day, it all dissolves and you sleep again - the dream-worlds you create are based on how you treated the world you lived in all day. For the most part, anyway.

As we are all connected, perhaps you are also solving someone else's problems, someone else's created world as you "sleep" in this one.

The world is as you think it to be.

Pleasant dreams...

The Secret to World Peace is - Network Marketing!

You probably won't believe that MLM could end all wars...

So here's the logic of it (all carefully worked out between waking and dreaming):

What keeps countries from going to war with each other is the ability to sell and trade with each other. That was observed with McDonald's and also with the manufacturing chain of Dell Computers (I believe this was in a book by the same author as "The Lexus and the Olive Tree")

The great part about Network Marketing is that it's international in scope these days. And people are able to make extra money on their own by getting out and talking to people, delivering great value to them and helping them learn to run their own business. (The latter is the real reason for the success of MLM - people go onto earning income on their own.)

All Criticism is True

But like that old phrase, one finger points out, the rest point to you.

And this is a very tough pill to swallow, especially for those of use to post our mental meanderings online for the world to see and keep track of.

Everything a person says tells the world what they think about themselves. 

That's the real bottom line.

A politician complaining about the lack of "bipartisan" support means that he's only out for himself. A person saying that another is just (some expletive deleted) is really just condemning himself, as he considers his own self-esteem or self-worth to be low.

What a person says about others never has anything to do with the others in our shared world- it has everything to do with the personal world they are creating for themselves.

Of course, that takes some getting used to.

But follow the logic our oldest philosophers left for us:

• "As within, so without, as above, so below."
• "The world is what you think it is."
• "There are no limits. (We are all connected.)"

So the critical person is practicing separateness - a futile game, but must of us play at it.

What they are wanting is some help with getting their own purpose done. That individual purpose is the only thing which really keeps us separate. Otherwise, we wouldn't exist in this universe. (Yeah, swallow hard.)

Consider, then, that you could rephrase everything you say in terms of "how can I help you so you can help me?"

You major efforts would be to find people with similar life-purposes to you, such that you could join with them (Napoleon Hill and Charles Haanel's "Master Mind" coalition) to accomplish mutual/common/associated purposes.

Life then becomes much, much simpler.

Your duty as you live your life is to simply help others in every way you can, in order to find people who want to help you attain your own purposes.

The highest goal would then be making it possible for everyone to achieve their purposes in a harmonic fashion. We simply need to help people make more and more optimal decisions which help the widest possible amount of people to attain their own purposes.

Of course, this rules out decisions that kill other people. Or other violence.  This is practically a route to world peace.

And you'll find tools like the Internet (which was made to share information broadly) to now be a tool people can use to improve their own lives. We now have frank and open discussions about things that have for a long time been hidden.

Dictocratic rulers are having a rough time now - because they aren't working for the optimal good of everyone around them.

The funny part is that there is a level of mutual abundance we've never approached before. And it's not with hand-outs or welfare, but by re-educating people around us to drop poor mental habits and simply helping everyone they meet open-handedly.

Try this for awhile, and you'll prove the workability for yourself.

The next time you get a critical thought about someone or something, consider how you could help that person, or how you could improve your actions, or how you could better that condition around you.

Sure, this is known as "constructive criticism".

And sometimes, the best thing you can do is just smile, nod, and keep going. The world may already be perfect as it is.

When in doubt, Just Be.

World Peace Self Help Lessons

There is a reason you are here. And you probably don’t know it yet – although you have a pretty good idea. Because if you did know, then you’d have a very good idea of what you should be doing to solve it. (If it were truly solved, you’d more likely disappear form this plane of existence.)

That is the point to enlightenment and subsequent spiritual training. Lots of people get enlightened and find that limitless peace beyond all understanding which is now ever-present. But you’ll also see, as they do, that they keep moving right along with life around them. The world may still be filled with tragedies, but these don’t bother them much.

The next trick is to get these to disappear. Of course, there are many, many solutions to these. Ho’oponopono (such as following Dr. Len Hew and “Zero Limits” by Joe Vitale) would be one solution. There are various miracles reported from using this 4 step technique.

Another solution would be to use the “Law of Attraction” with the various steps outlined in “The Secret” DVD. Because you could attract a better world around you – and you do. Concentrating on the best you could imagine will then move you again into the “miracles as usual” band.

There are even more ways to do this. Some examples are found in the “Magic of Believing” by Claude Bristol – plenty for you to study and learn.

What’s the point here? Look, if you really got perfectly clear on everything, then your job in this particular existence would be complete. And you’d move onto something else to solve – or simply be happy in a constant state of unlimited satori and join the other Masters who exist in different realms than what we can experience.

But if you’re still here after reaching your own enlightenment, then there are other lessons to learn, other purposes to fill.

There are, in my estimation, an unlimited amount of lessons you can learn after you reach a stable state of enlightenment. This is where your spiritual training begins.

As near as I can figure at this point, and based on the Huna principle that we are all connected (“There are no limits.”) – then the world’s problems are our problems as well. And this is exactly where Dr. Len’s version of Ho’oponopono comes in. The one and first point you can deal with is why you are having the perception that you do. And then erase the bad parts of what you see.

Fear and most negative emotions are based on a lack of something. But if you look closely, you’ll find that all lack is manufactured, a fiction. Like letting a light shine – darkness isn’t turned on or off, so cannot affect a light. You don’t shovel out the dark in order to get more light – or open drain in the floor. You just let the light shine.

And while people could argue with the semantics of that example, listen to that idea with your heart. See what it tells you is possible. For if you keep your attention on the im-possible, then you are shunning all that is possible – and it won’t show up for you.

Those are the various lessons we can now start learning as we make our travels through this life. That is our spiritual training – which won’t quit as long as you keep following this dream you are currently in as you read this.

All the best to you and yours.

The difference between I, We, and Us – or is there?

My decade in the “wilderness” was self-enforced for a reason. And, just as the hermit, I was never really left alone. But I did have substantial time to simply reflect.

I found that time to be very rewarding. The more I dropped away connections to this outer world, the more intimately connected to it I became. Because I quit seeing it for what it was and started seeing it, and living it as it just is.

Pronouns (and nouns) have limited use. Mostly, they are placeholders. And this is a difficult concept for most, since this is exactly what we’ve been working at all this time – to remain separate, to find differences.

And the people we hold as true statesman and leaders are those who resolve differences. Those who we hold as outcasts and villains were those who sought to raise or hold one group above the others. (Gandhi vs. Hitler)

Those politicians we’ve elected on the hope for this who then disappoint may or may not be working toward greater resolution. But politicians live in the realm of politics, whose highest accomplishment is in compromise, which is where no participants are truly satisfied with the results.

Government is no answer. And can, for the most part, be ignored.

The individual is the point to work with. And of course, that gives you a moving target, since the “individual” is a hard thing to pin down.  Hale Dwoskin’s latest movie, “Letting Go” really goes into this point that we are all connected Self.

Of course, that is no less than what the ancient philosophies have held since before our recorded times.

So I’ve been independently going outside the mainstream in order to look at these flows for what they are. And see that they are all really going in the same direction, for the most part. If you follow popular, bestseller self-help authors, you will see that they both cross-influence each other and also have the same underlying theme. And that if you compare these with the most ancient recorded texts, you’ll find them simply echoes of what went on before.

Certain people like Thomas Troward have been the bridge between those texts and our modern times. Similarly Lester Levenson and to a degree, Greg Braden.

The essence of this solitude has been to simply build understanding of who and what I am – and then go beyond that into how this fits into the rest of this universe.

The results are, to me, astonishing. And have taken me through some incredible adventures – meeting all of Joseph Campbell’s archetypes along the way. All were successes. All lessons learned.

These don’t mean I don’t still cast stones without being pure myself, first. Old habits die hard. But communication (and satirical parody) is another learning experience.

Every message you give is simply a message you receive. I’ll often refer to the Golden Rule, but this concept is Universal in every philosophy. As you give, you will receive. So what you put out, you get back. And in order to get, you have to give away first.

A corollary is that the less you have to have, the more you are able to give away. And Wayne Dyer has laid out an interesting test along this line: give away something you really value and prize. Instead of giving your “old” clothes to charity, give the ones you love the most – the newest and most expensive. Helluva learning moment.

Teachers are learners and learners teach. The word “mystic” has two meanings, “initiate” and also “adept”. What goes around comes around.

But enough about me. How about you?

The universe is a team activity

(photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elsie/)

Yes, the Universe is a Team Activity -
but you knew this all along...

That old Benjamin Franklin phrase comes to mind, "We must all hang together or surely, we shall all hang separately."

And it's not just the "greenies" or "enviro's" that have a point here. I'm speaking far more pragmatically here.

There's a Universal connection in/with/around all of us. If you want to refer to it as God, that would be fine. This is one concept of the Western Christian view. However, Buddhists and Hindu and even older religions and philosophies essentialy hold the same view, just by different names.

And those who hold this thought and follow it (where do you think genius and inspiration come from?) have the world rise up to them and give them everything they want. True. Read the biographies of the outrageously successful - or books by people who have studied them (like Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich or Law of Success). You'll find that there are just a handful of people who didn't have to study and learn esoteric concepts in order to succeed in anything they wanted. But they did follow a few basic principles regardless.

Dale Carnegie tapped into these same principles when he studied the average, ordinary person who came into his public speaking courses (Ripley's noted that he had critiqued over 150,000 speeches, which I think is also in the Guiness record book.) And his books became bestsellers when he wrote about the basic concepts he tapped into.

That Hill and Carnegie continue to be successes are due more to the caliber of their thinking than the quality of their writing or the foundations which took over their works after they passed.

They both did extensive studies of humankind in the raw. And found that there were simple underlying basics to any person's success.

Teamwork is one of these. We have it in all of us. And all the corporate magnates Hill studied, or the small business entrepreneurs who came to study with Carnegie - they all knew this to be a fact. When people cooperate, they get more done than the same amount of people can do individually.

This is due to an inherent common connection we all share - the Universe.

And while I can go further into tools and approaches and ways to improve your abilities in this area, I'll leave you with this simple beginning approach:

1. Pray or meditate or simply sit in relaxed silence at least once daily. (3 times is better.)
2. Just listen when you're in that mode - to your heartbeat, your breathing, the wind. Just listen. Banish all thoughts simply by letting these go - simply relax and let the world fall away. Listen.
3. Come out of that (after 15 minutes or an hour or however long you can keep it up) and revisit your own purpose - what is it that brings a smile to your face, quickens your step, really sponsors your action on a daily basis. Your purpose is what you would love to do if you didn't have to "work" for a living.
4. Get the concept of your own ideal scene and really visualize it - get the feelings of having that all around you. These will be calm, cheerful, expectant feelings - because you'll know that this is possible.
   
5. Release this to the Universe.
   
6. Right about then, or shortly after, you'll get an idea about what you can do to bring this into existence - a small step or a series of them. Write these down somewhere so you can keep track of what you need to do.
   
7. And then incorporate those inspired steps into your life somehow. Start acting on them.

When you do these steps daily (like I said 3 times a day is best for our Western world) - you'll start making the improvements in your life that align your own purpose with the Universe around you. You'll be "doing your own thing" and the Universe will be helping you accomplish it. Because we are all in this together and the more we work together, the more we can get done.

Yes, this means real world peace is just around the corner - and an end to any serious food, housing, clothing and security problems currently in this world.

All we each have to do is outlines above (and it will only take about 3 percent of this planet actively doing those 7 steps listed to make major changes).

So: Good Hunting!

How to spread the Word

How to spread the Word - about everything.

Just a (hopefully) short note. I'm just on the beginnings of jumping full-bore into promoting self help techniques and philosophies full time, flat out.

Because what I've discovered is the universal solvent. Given enough data, I can render an opinion and give a real process to resolve any particular problem facing anyone. (Otherwise, GIGO - garbage in, garbage out.)

Just based on Go Thunk Yourself self help series, and following years of corroborative cross-research, it shows that this can be done.

I've had to take a meandering approach to this, since I've needed to tear apart modern marketing and study up on those nuts-and-bolts in order to even start at this.

And it's seemed like some real distractions at times. But I've almost got all the runway paved now, engines tested, tires kicked, and the pilot chair is ready. A few more tweaks of the instrumentation and we'll take off.

For those (few) followers of this backwater blog, I'll give you the first notice.

Essentially, since I can talk about nearly anything, marketing this is pretty simple. It flows through social media channels, to the search engines, and then to people looking for solutions. So I can "take over" any number of long-tail niches and pull these viewers, shoppers, and buyers over to my "sales funnel" to support further marketing. Yes, I have some very big plans for all that dough - it goes right back into non-profit work for this local community and into building a base where I can get this message out even bigger, to millions simultaneously.

But for now, I've got some gauges that aren't telling me what I need to know, and some idiot lights to replace.

Later, then -- and Good Hunting! Pray Peace.

How the Universe Works - and How to Get the Universe to Work for You (and why both candidates and all news sucks)

The Universe-as-Play-Doh theory expounded.

TRUE or FALSE: Anyone can have, achieve, acquire, become anything they really want in life - anything at all.

This statement is both true and false at the same time. It has nothing to do with heredity, or how much money your parents had, or what church you participate in, or the politics you follow - and at the same time is completely dependent on them.

Life is both what you make it - a blissful joy and inspired, glorious series of leaps of faith - and an onerous burden which makes you weep in every spare moment you aren't slaving away for someone else's benefit.

This is why politics sucks and both U.S. candidates are full of it - and why the press (and Congress) can never get anything right.

It's how can this universe deal out both torture and bliss in equal measure - and to two people who've grown up within blocks of each other and whose parents have similar income, similar upbringing, similar genetic background?

Because it's the way this universe works.

The Formula for this Universe:

Anything || Anything

What does this mean? (or "huh?")

Everything is related to everything. Those "||" symbols are whatever you want them to be. They may mean equals (=) or greater than (>) or less than (<) or can even mean doesn't equal or has no relation at all. (HUH?)

Ok, let's back up. If you study philosophy - both Eastern and Western - you'll see some key points coming up repeatedly. But only if you compare the two against each other. This is what Quantum Physics has been coming up with - age-old data which are just now proving what a handful of popular authors and "quack" theorists have known for a long time. The Universe is a bunch of Silly Putty or Play-Doh and you can make anything you want out of it.

However, at the same time, you are composed of the same things this universe is made up of, so you are also made of Silly Putty or Play-Doh and so can be pushed, and pulled, and punched, rolled, or bounced around. (Which is why you can feel very tired at the end of a day...)

It is both true and false that you can make anything out of your life - and that you can also be the total effect of everything around you. And those statements are both true and false at the very same time.

How is it that some people can make something of their lives and others can wreck theirs?

Look - in this week we have both the incredible personal triumphs of people who individually are breaking world sports performance records right and left - and meanwhile have the continuing tortures of Darfur and political bullying of Russia into Georgia. Millions are free to protest in the U.S. of whether it was right to go into Iraq and give them the same freedoms. We have seemingly insane people in control of incredible amounts of weapons and power which have been paid for by mineral reserves in their countries (oil and other fuels). At the same time, we have very brilliant people in some Academic settings (and in Hollywood) coming out with some very stupid pronouncements which show them to be very foolish when those statements become widely known.

How could all these facts be both true and false at the same time?

It's just the way this Universe is set up.

And you can do something about it. Or let it slide. Your choice.

And you have always had this choice. Always.

Let's seem to diverge here and cover another couple of points which will give us more understanding of the above.

Good vs. Evil

There is extreme good in this world and also extreme evil. Evil, however, is not a potent force. It is really just a lack of good. Evil exists where good isn't. Like turning on a light in a dark room. Or "watching the sun come up". You can't go into a room and shovel out the dark. The dark doesn't come cloying up to you and envelop you in its overwhelming grasp (regardless of Hollywood special effects) . Just turn on a light - or light a candle - or wait for the daylight to break.

Evil isn't anything but a poorly directed force for good. When you take that same amount of force and put it to a different, positive use, then good results.

You may have seen footage of soldiers rolling through villages on tanks and other armored carriers. Now you take that same amount of fuel and those same engines and take the amount of steel in those tanks and turn them into trucks. Now that same weight of materials can be bringing medical and building supplies to those same villages. And the people in those tanks can be trained in construction or as healers and be bringing new life to those they visit.

It's what they are used for. What's their purpose? What's their intent?

Free Will vs. the Universe (aka God)

(Here's where I may lose a lot of you as readers - and this really just proves the point of everything I've said above if you do drop off at this point.)

Taking up God at all shows me both to be daring and a menace at the same time. God is personal to everyone, even atheists.

Some have defined God as the Universe - and can make some pretty good arguments down this line. I bring this up only as a point of illustration. Because we need to talk about Free Will, which is usually put into the same line of country as God.

OK - let's just say that Free Will and the Universe are working together and at odds at the same time. (This way more of you will hopefully continue to follow the logic of this article.)

Universe and Free Will. People have Free Will. People can decide to do whatever they want. Even slaves can decide to do things. That's one of the reason people make poor slaves. And why animals (particularly pets) respond better to affection and love than any amount of harsh treatment. Animals have choices to make, every second of their own existence - just like us humans. (But we'll stop there for now, drawing the lines at animate entities...)

Those Quantum Physicists above tell us that because this Free Will (also called Mind) exists at the lowest levels of particles, it also exists at the greatest parts. One statement down this line: you find whatever it is you are looking for.

This is true in all their experiments. It seems that they couldn't turn around without finding their own footprint in the same sand they were studying - that whatever they intended to study was affected by what they were thinking. Which tended to mess up their ideas of being able to do any scientific experiments at all - which were supposed to be "double-blind" studies and so on. And this also explains the recent review of scientific literature which found that on a rough average, 50% of all scientific studies contradicted the other 50%.

Because, regardless of their attempts to exclude personal bias and attitude - whatever the scientists were thinking affected the outcome of their experiments.

What does this have to do with us?

Whatever you think or consider affects the world around you. In fact, it's been said that you create your world - the experiences you go through daily are affected by your attitudes and considerations about how things "ought" to be. Whatever your world-view is - creates that world which you view.

But wait - there's more...

Now, the universe is apparently unlimited in scope. And actually, there is no limit to anything. There are no shortages, except those humankind have created. As a species, we've been able to feed, clothe, and house all of us - every single individual - since sometime between the first and second World Wars. Fact. For all the limited energy sources around, there are literally tons of energy sources which haven't been tapped. The U.S. Patent Office is filled with tons of these. (Study Tesla if you want to see some fascinating examples of free, untapped energy sources.) And there are more oil resources under the forests in Canada than Saudi Arabia has left. As well, the minerals frozen under Siberian soil make the mines we have other places look like we were digging in the garden with a spade to find interesting rocks.

Universe unlimited in scope and resources - what do we do with that? Answer: anything we want.

But those around you - and this is historically proven - who try to "motivate" you deal mostly in the false concept that there is a limit to things. They push the idea that there is only so much to go around. Politicians are great at this. "Redistribute the wealth from the rich to the poor." "Tax the rich more - because there is only so much to go around." (Tell that to these same politicians who approve the Federal Reserve to print as much paper currency as they want - the real source of inflation...)

Others like to tie up oil and natural gas deposits so that we can go to war over them. Jokes on them - we just invent more when we get close to running out. (Invent - isn't that some sort of mental process? Hmm...)

Free Will and the Universe work hand-in-hand to create this world around us. (And some have even said that this world we see is really just a necessary illusion, but save that for another day...)

The Universe has all the raw materials to do anything you want with - anything any of us wants. And Free Will is the molder. We just have a few billion souls capable of independent thought and action. Which is what makes this world of ours so interesting... And gives politicians and theologians their jobs (not to mention Academic types), because they are all trying to mold thought and thinking around them into what they consider better form.

What they consider is the key part of that sentence. They are neither more right or more wrong than anyone else. And the amount of followers or weapons they can muster proves them neither more right or more wrong.

So any problems we've had - any lack or limitations - has been us and our attitudes toward what we confront (or let slide). What we've been fighting all along is our own ideas. Really nothing more than that. And practically - this is all that's ever held us back...

Ancient Philosophers have already been there - done that.

(I've used that word again - philosophy. Almost as bad as bringing "God" into this...)

The oldest philosophy on this planet (which has traditions of helping the Egyptians build their culture, among many) has some interesting insights into this. It's called Huna Kahuna (or secret of secrets) among other things.

Anyway, what has survived from their long oral tradition is a set of seven principles, two of which are interesting to us. The first, "The world is what you think it is." We've covered that above. It's just taken Western Science a long time to get back to what was known before we ever started having scientists.

If you drill down below this, a later principle from this ancient philosophy, "Effectiveness is the measure of truth." This is why we have Ethics. What is good for the goose isn't always good for the gander. And the farmer who raises geese has a different purpose which may affect the lifestyle (and life-length) of those geese.

For people to roll tanks into a neighboring country makes sense to them, but little sense to those they roll over, or people watching this from a distance. When governments harass opposition in their own country and drive the place to wreck and ruin - that somehow makes sense to them, but little sense to others.

So you have to consider your own thoughts and see if your exercise of Free Will is the best you can do - and is the best for the world around you.

You see, the Universe works on a big Harmony point. Billions (and soon Trillons) of people on this planet, all capable of affecting others around them. Consider every person a single voice in a chorus. Whether that chorus sings in harmony or cacophony is up to that chorus. The choir leader can't make them sing better - it's their individual choice. He can help them, cajole them, give them special instructions, but the singing itself (or silence) is the decision of that individual in the chorus.

That's Free Will and this Universe. How they interact and how they work together.

How to Make the Universe Work for You

OK, we've covered a lot of ground here. Now lets see how you can improve that life you're living.

You can see above that all self-help and personal development, as well as all the -ism's in the world are all tied into this formula I laid out at the beginning. All religion and all politics, all economics - everything is tied into this.

If you want to improve something, you have to change your thoughts about it. How you consider something is will make and has made it so. If you don't like the way something is in your life, then you only have to decide better.

Now, there's some help for you. You may be thinking that some things are too big for you to handle. Well, yes and no.

Single people can start trends. People can work in their own neighborhoods to create change which helps people around them. People can blog and post comments and influence other people. If you stick at something for long enough, it can result in tremendous good in the world. Look at what Mother Theresa accomplished with her single life. Or Thomas Edison, or any writer you admire.

And you can get help in whatever you want to do or change or improve.

Remember that Universe above? Well, it wants to give you anything you want to improve or change. You can get an unlimited amount of help from the Universe - it's got unlimited resources, after all.

Hopefully by now, you don't think I've gone off the deep end. You've followed the logic up to this point, right?

Intuition and Bright Ideas come from the Universe - because you've imposed your Free Will on it with a situation to solve. Try this some night: just before you go to sleep, ask that question which you haven't been able to find an answer to. Pay attention to your dreams and what you're thinking about just when you wake up. Just lay there awhile when you wake and listen to yourself think - what was rolling through your mind? Probably a hint of what you need to do. If not, then if you pay attention to what happens in your life through that next day, you'll probably get something a little odd happening. Someone will say something, or you'll hear something or see something and AHA! you have a solution to that question - or at least a new way of looking at the problem.

Because Anything (Everything) || Anything (Everything). The universe is giving you all the help you need - you just have to ask...

I don't need to beat you to death with more examples here.

If you keep at this point of asking the Universe for inspiration, you'll always get it back. Just the way things work. When you study any amount of philosophy or religion, you'll keep seeing these same points come up, over and over.

Because it simply is the way things work.

And spread the word. Discuss this idea with your friends. See if they can get it to work for them. See if this is workable for you. How effective is this truth?

You can have, do, or be - achieve, acquire, accomplish - anything, ANYTHING you want in your life. It's all in what you think about yourself and your life - and it shows up in that world around you.

Now you know exactly why Olympic athletes excel, why politicians make stupid decisions, and why main-scream media (and Congress) gets it wrong more often than not.

Have fun with this.

After all, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain - right?

New message - we're all in this together, far more than we ever thought...

I've covered a great deal of ground since I started these blogs. And I'm sure-positive that there is a far greater set of ground to cover in front of me...

And I don't know that single blog post will convey all that I've just experienced.

You'd have to check out Go Thunk Yourself, S'More! to get a great deal of what I'm about to say, since that is the jumping-off point for much of this.

Per Serge King, we dream all the time. And one of the best uses for dreams is to help you figure out how to accomplish your vision. Now "The Secret" tells you to leave the "Hows" up to the universe, just concentrate on the endpoint, what you want.

However, when this is vague, you can ask for guidance.

I usually do it when I drift off to sleep. Review my visions, review my day's progress, ask for help or decided what to concentrate on during that night's sojourn. You see, while the body rests, I know that the mind keeps going. And the delta-wave-state is where most of your really great mental work is done - but most of the time, we can't recall what we did there (maybe because it's beyond having to have thoughts at all...)

So I ask before I sleep, then recall the dream when I wake - analyze this through the 4 methods (subjective, objective, symbolic, holistic).

This am, it was a resolution of the greatest job in the world - the one perfect for me.

What that is isn't germane at this point - but I just wanted to let you know that there is a simple way to access the wealth of data that surrounds you and enfolds you.

The secret is told over and over in all these books I talk about and publish: Spend some time daily just relaxed and quiet, seeking peace.

What method you use - prayer, meditation, affirmations, "seeking your level" - doesn't matter. Use the one most effective for you. The important part is that you make this part of your daily routine - several times each day if you can.

Cheers.

Get a clue - there's a whole system out there running your (and everone else's) universe...

Of all these self help books, all those self improvement tapes, all the religious dogmas, every ideologue, there is a single underlying system which explains how everything works and fits together.

Woooof. That's one heady statement to make.

But I've been working this over for over 8 years now as a steady research and collecting notes the earlier 40-some - on just about everything that crossed my path. So when I say that I've been able to boil down the universe into a single system, it just might be plausible.

The basic is back on the farm. Did you know that Nature runs the same, no matter what you believe, or practice, or what party you belong to? True. Plant a seed anywhere on this planet and as long as it has enough sunlight, enough nutrients, and is warm enough to do it's job - you'll have a sprouted plant. Keep these conditions long enough and that plant will make seeds so you can make more plants.

Heated greenhouses in Antarctica prove it.

So how do all these religions say they are the only way out and that all others are (whatever)? They are simply running marketing silos, trying to build a monopoly of belief and so finance their buildings and what-not.

That's a bit cruel, and perhaps steps on everyone's toes at once. But if you analyze organized religions against marketing data, that's what falls out.

Back up a bit.

All - and I mean all - religions and phil0sophies contain certain common points. One of these is the "Golden Rule". Every single historical belief-system we have on this planet has recognized that there is a definite reciprocity on this mud-ball we live on. What ever you do has consequences - and these all come back to haunt or elevate you. Your choice - treat people like manure and you'll get manure dumped on you. Treat people with respect and you'll get respect. Be charitable, get charity. Help others, get helped.

On and on and on.

Most nations have outlawed capital punishment - who wants to cast that first stone?

I think that if you looked hard enough, you'd also find some recognition of the Law of Attraction in all these - but it's a different search. I know it's been written about in both the New and Old Testaments. And Huna mentions it - which is the oldest-known philosophic system still practiced on this planet.

Of course, this above would then be a complete study all on its own. And I'll leave that to theologists to study up as part of the postgraduate studies. I'll keep to the broad strokes.

Let's just go with this idea that, like Nature, we are all living on this planet under the same rules. We all have bodies which are different hues and shades, but all function the same. There are only so many blood types, and they can all be fixed with varying degrees of success when they get broken.

It is just logical that all these religions, cults, and belief-systems (extremist, moderate, conservative) work because of that underlying common system, not in spite of it.

How would I go about explaining it?

1. Take Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" as the base, and back up to Huna's 7 principles to explain how this works.
2. Expand to his Law of Success, and widen the scope to include Haanel's Master Key System, as well as Mental Chemistry.
3. Compare with Science of Getting Rich.
4. Examine the phenomenon of "The Secret", which is pushing the Law of Attraction.
5. Review Atkinson's works along this line, as well as Earl Prevette.
6. Back this up through Genevieve Behrend to Thomas Troward.
7. Which then brings us right back to Huna as an overall and underlying base for all modern self help.
8. Then come forward through current religions to show their similarities and posit the point that all religions (and all belief-systems/world-views) depend on a common system of philosophy in order to work at all.
9. Now, the base foundation for a common system could be laid, taking just the key points held in common by all above authors and Huna.

And this is just the beginning. Once you lay out the basic principles, personal techniques could be approached, so that anyone could improve just about anything in their lives (thought being the first point of creation, any system of thought would then enable anything to be created/achieved/acquired).

As well, an approach to world peace is possible. If all war is either economic or ideological in origin, it would be possible to show that everyone would be richer if you allowed free commerce, as well as other human freedoms.

This underlying system does exist. Interestingly, it isn't a question of proving it, but disproving it... Because it runs on faith for fuel. Faith is based on knowledge and understanding. Those that doubt only limit themselves. The best gains to be had are by thoroughly immersing oneself in the subject. You can't try out a pair of boots to see if they fit and wear well unless you put them on, first.
