#9 – January 3, 2011 – Our Shiny History (Podcast is here)

I was listening to the radio the other day while I sipped my morning mocha. When a song came on that I recognized instantly as Neil Young’s “Long may you run”.

After it finished playing the announcer off-offhandedly mentioned that the song was about one of Young’s cars.

It surprised me. I never knew that.

Kinda made me think about the connections we make with things. I can certainly relate to what Young must have been feeling when he wrote the lyrics to this song. I remember my first car. It was a Green 1962 MGA two-seater convertible sports car. Incidentally that’s the year mentioned in the song as the last year that he saw his car “alive”.

I was only nineteen back then when I first got it. I had a lot of good memories with it. It took me through my last year of high school and through the accompanying summer.  It was an exciting and wonderful time.

This car, despite it’s wonky mechanics, was at least a constant steady reality at a time of real change in my life. The biggest of course was when I moved out of my parent’s house for the first time. It took me to college in another city about 250 miles away and I remember running out of gas on the freeway that crossed the north end of the big city. I was only there for a few minutes when a tow truck pulled up in front of me on the shoulder of the road.

The driver got out and as I no sooner had described what my problem was he quickly took a gas can from his truck and was pouring it’s contents into my empty tank. He wouldn’t even take any money for it. Turns out he worked for the city and it was his job to keep things rolling on that busy stretch of highway.

Try that today eh? Good luck.

Lot’s was happening back then but, no matter what, there was always that car.

But just like the song says changes come and I eventually sold the car.

Funny isn’t it? How you can think of an inanimate object as some kind of important anchor point to memories long past their freshness date.

I don’t really know exactly how this ties in with my ongoing theme on this blog which usually talks about my theory of Mindset Immunity.

Perhaps it’s this admittedly very tangential refrain from the song itself:

“Although these changes have come.

With your chrome heart shining in the sun”

At least that’s how it is with the historical view of memory. The best one’s always shine on seemingly forever.

More power to you.

Cold hard history.

Heard a cool thing today on CBC radio.  Apparently they are dong some experimental research on osteoporosis and they are using… wait for it, 30,000 year-old woolly mammoth tusk!

Now I don’t have all the details but it has something to do with the fact that ivory turns quite translucent when it ages. The researchers will slice very thin sections off the tusk and use them for comparison studies.

The Yukon-based paleontologist Grant Zazula was taken aback by the whole idea. He never imagined in a million years that he would be able to assist medical research.

On the other side of the globe another paleontologist Abderrazak El Albani has written a commentary on the finding of a multicellular organism that pushes back the fossil record for such life forms to 2.1 billion years ago and suggesting that these forms of life existed 200 million years earlier than scientists had thought.

El Albani, of the Université de Poitiers in France, said his team had simply been looking to study the sediments at the black shale formations in Gabon, in west Africa, when they came across the fossils.

That’s the thing about history.  It has a way of giving us secrets we would have missed otherwise.

But, unless you’re a paleontologist, how much can you really care about some old bones or a clump of rock with some fossils in it?

Probably not much.

Let’s face it, the most relevant history is your own – especially if it relates to your past success.  That’s the only history that I’ve been working with for years. When a client chooses to step into my virtual machine and uses it to locate the vastness of energy that has backed his of her persistent achievement things get very interesting.

More power to you.

First Time Lucky.

Not the first time anyway.

It got increasingly better as I practiced it but I was never a great illustrator. Being “first time lucky” at stuff didn’t happen for me. The probability is high that it didn’t happen for you either.

But since were talking about probabilities let’s look at the huge lottery you’ve already won by being born you at all.

It turns out that, according to one guy’s calculations the probability of you (or I) even existing at all are incredibly low. So low in fact that it’s hardly even worth talking about.

In this particular set of calculations, depending on far back you wish to go.

Fifty years, or just two generations for example, works out to 1 / 12,000,000,000. Not a good chance at all but it get’s worse.

If you went back, say, one million years it would be 42 with 403,149 zeros after it. I can’t even say that number because there isn’t a word for it.

All I can say is, you’ve already won big time in the lottery of life. You therefore have no reason to not try to do well in anything you put your hand to. And that you have lot’s to be grateful for.

Just understand that, like the rest of us humans, you will most likely fail at getting it right the first time you try something new.

You’re being “first time lucky” probably got used up when you were born. The rest is just learning to slug it out with persistence and determination.

More power to you

“There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio, than are dreampt of in your philosophy.”  – William Shakespeare, “Hamlet”, Act 1 scene 5

Six.

That’s the number of basic chemical elements that make up all living organisms on planet earth. At least till this past week anyway.

Seems that scientists have been experiencing a hard evidence bomb that has left them tightly gripping the controls on their spectron microscopes. A heretofore unknown microbe has been ID’ed as pigging out on little more than one of the most toxic ingredients known to man: arsenic.

It loves the stuff.  Even has it slathered all the way up to it’s DNA all the while kicking out the usual sulfur component that would make it fall in line with what’s usual.

Personally I can understand why. Sulfur‘s the stuff that smells like rotten eggs. I used to live about 40 miles from a paper mill and once in a while we’d get whiff of it.

Ug!

Anyway this thing has the guys and gals in the lab coats rewriting their definition of what a life form is.

They better hurry. The possibilities for the existence of ET just got ramped up even more thanks to another discovery this week.  Seems that there are tons more stars than they first thought.

Just take the numeral 3 and add 21 zeros to it and you’d get an idea of the latest estimate of the twinkling little specs that inhabit our universe. By the way that figure has a name it’s 300 sextillilion total stars.

But wait. What’s all this got do with a guy like me who usually talks about human motivation?

Well plenty. Let me explain.

See I’ve being trying to tell people for a while now one of the most significant discoveries is walking around with them every day.

We have all heard about our immune system and how it works. But that one only looks after our physical body. What If we had a separate one that looks after our thinking?

Still with me?  Great.

I believe I’ve found it and, I can prove it too.

I call it “mindset immunity” and everyday it’s there, buried deep within you, basically operating at about only 10% capacity at best.

It has a hard time doing more because it’s not at all recognized and so, unlike its physical sibling it doesn’t make any noise and doesn’t get any support.  It’s like an unknown 3^rd world country still trying to survive with its stone-age economy.

But I’ve found a way to fix that. A way that is so simple that anyone could have thought about it but didn’t.

Want to know more?

Hey no problemo.  I’m having a webinar coming up soon and you can get on the advance notice list by filling out the form in the side bar to the right.

Until next time.

 

More power to you my friends.

I say some strange things.

It’s true that I say some pretty strange things around here. Things like “failure causes immunity” and “thought systems come in two distinct shapes”.

Strange eh? You’d think I was trying to be some kind of weird performance artist or something.

But no.

I’m quite serious when I talk about the two distinctly different shapes of your thinking systems. Now in the context of mindset immunity I’ll explain why (Click the podcast link above to listen).

 

More power to you my friends

#2 – Nov 15, 2010 – Mobius Monday Minute – #2 (Podcast is here)

This morning on the radio news I learned about this obscure professor of genetics who just secured a 100,000 grant for his research.

Now that’s not all that unusual, a lot of money is spent on funding studies of all sorts of things. What was unusual was the idea that this professor was putting forward. It was really weird and that’s why I liked it. As the creator of something called the H.E.R.O. eMachine I know what it’s like to try and sell an idea that’s completely off the wall.

The professor’s idea certainly qualifies as wacky but in a good way.

It has to do with being able to isolate certain immune system molecules from insects and see if they could be useful in developing a new class of anti-biotic drugs. The professor’s reasoning was that insects have been successfully using these types of molecules to control pathogens as an effective immune response for millions of years.

He also pointed out that the pathogens, which are known to invade humans, are unlikely to have ever encountered these molecules before. If that is proven to be true then any drug made with them could possibly be much more effective in humans than anything currently available today.

The last point made in the short interview was how many years it would most likely be before a new drug like that could be approved for humans.

Sounds like a promising project but that’s not the only reason why I’m writing about it today. I mention it because I can certainly relate to how difficult it is, as well as how long it takes, to introduce a radically new idea into the world and have it accepted.

So far it’s taken me all of ten years to formulate and then begin to sell the idea that humans have a second immune system operating in the ethereal unseen world of the thinking mindset. I now am moving forward with explaining the technology that allows anyone using it to naturally speed up this new found immune system so that it better serves to overcome the challenges we all face in our busy daily lives.

It’s a work in progress.

Hey, if you know of any available funding grants just give me a call ok?

More power to you my friends
