Each week I intend to dispatch my pent-up creativity by creating a new version of something I call a “quotius”. (Learn about the genesis of it here.)
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Okay, it is a quote, well, sort of in a way at least it is. I mean, I’m quoting a collective group of people here but no one person in particular so there will be no attribution attached.
This is not only ground-breakingly different for me but I saved ink too because I just did it by hand with a marker.

The group I’m referring to, if you can believe it, is the population of biology researchers laboring away at labs all over the country.

I’m using a short list. I’ve stripped out everything extraneous so that all I’m left on it is six basic items. The professionals I’m quoting probably wouldn’t have done that themselves. They like long reports and white papers. They need those to justify their research funding.

The list includes the six main elements that make up the bulk of all living matter on planet earth: Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur and Phosphorus.

In the video I’m keeping with my usual theme of showing my inherent lack of respect for a circular-shaped thinking pattern. As usual I make sure it meets with a quick if not painless end.

In the circular thinking model I show what the problem is. You can only read half of the items on the list. The other three appear upside down on the inside of the band. They are separated and alone.

With only three items instead of the required six you can’t end up with a living organism. If you work in a lab and these three are all you have you may have something organic but it’s most likely not living or breathing nor will if fetch a stick.

Nevertheless science has a name for it… It’s known as “dead”.

The same can be said of the pattern of circular thinking itself. All that one can do when you’re caught up within it is stay trapped in an endless spiral going further down the road of frustration and time loss.

So who am I to make such critical observations?

After all the closest I ever got to being a scientist was watching Star Trek on television after school more than forty years ago. But for the last two decades I’ve closely watched the way circular thinking has taken hold in so many people’s lives. Promoted by the rush and demands of life these days it has stolen more of its portion of our joy and happiness. If they would just slow down enough they would appreciate the fact that they can see their own potential and build a deep self-belief on that hard-evidence-based vision. All it takes is a simple little brain tweak and the direction we all desperately need can begin to come into focus.

My point, if I may say so myself, is visually well made. Thinking like this is as dead as the organic waste that only three basic elements can make. It’s thinking that needs to be changed.

In this video I reconstruct this old model by it taking apart and by giving one end a little tweak by twisting one end of it 180 degrees (like the coil in a DNA) before joining it with the other end.

We now see something new.

It’s a model of a mobius strip of course but, at the same time, it’s also a 3D illustration of a reciprocal system of thinking. Now in this form we can easily read all six elements one–by-one because this new strip only has one side and one edge. With this complete list of six items we have just about everything that’s needed to define every living organism in the physical world.

We also have a very elegant metaphor for the shape that this new thinking pattern takes on. I have been helping people for a long time to make this type of change and it doesn’t take long to do. One day at the most. The rewards are a greater self-confidence, less stress, and a much clearer pathway to get out from under the weight of the world.

And it’s all because of a well placed little twist and a little tweak.

More power to you.

PS: Have you noticed that a lot of personal development methods no longer pack the punch they once did? Could be the times. I went ahead and invented this simple little brain tweak that makes a huge difference in leveraging your efforts for creating a better version of yourself. Want more? Check out my FREE webinar here.

When you start anything new you are usually drawn to it (+). That’s because you’re looking at the great possibilities for all the goodness that you envision. It’s all part of the packaging of the new and different.

But then, after a while, the difficulties and problems start to arise as you try to grasp the newness and gain control of it. If it’s a new business you’re starting for example, it can be really fun in the beginning until customers start demanding better service and supplier’s want their accounts paid up.

It can get so bad that you might want to run away (-) and hide.

I know what it’s like.  I’ve started many small businesses that failed miserably. But I couldn’t run away (-) from the worst one because it was in farming and there were livestock involved who had to be milked every day. I had to ride that one right till the day they came in trucks and picked up all of our goats and sent them to the processor. That was a big (-) I can tell you.

Existence is filled with these things (-). Few and far between are the (+) it seems. Especially these days.

But I found a way to change that and it helped a lot of people with the (-) in their lives. But I had to stay with the process of learning about the newness I called H.E.R.O. well enough to be able to articulate its story.

Glad I did too. So will you because there could be a pile of (-) heading your way and this can make you strong enough to turn a lot of the (-) into (+).

And that, my friend, is  going to keep you from moving away from things that might be good for you to moving closer to them.

More power to you.

Crumple zones help

Crumple zones work by managing crash energy, absorbing it within the outer sections of the vehicle, rather than being directly transmitted to the occupants, while also preventing intrusion into or deformation of the passenger cabin. This better protects car occupants against injury.

-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love the idea of crumple zones.  They have saved a lot of lives in car accidents since they were introduced by Mercedes-Benz in the 1950’s.

But I have a new use of the term. What if a type of crumple zone was available for the human thinking so that when some negative experience happens in their lives people can feel less injury?

Believe it or not that is the function of my life’s work in developing a way to better utilize an unknown human ability: To be aware of  and to enhance the effectiveness of a hidden immune system for the thinking.

Sounds crazy doesn’t it?

I’ll admit it may sound like a science fiction story. But all you have to do is recall the last time you had what you believe is a really serious negative experience in your life. For a few individuals, especially successful entrepreneurs for example, they tend to get over such a thing fairly quickly but a whole lot of the rest of us don’t.

Like a divorce for example.

I know of someone, I’ll call “June” who is about to go through a tremendous devastation in her life. She has three young children. Her husband of four years has turned out to be bit of a brute. She is seeking a way to file for divorce while, at the same time, keeping control of how the children will be cared for. He’s living in the family home’s basement.

Meanwhile she keeps at her regular job. This situation has been going on for months. I don’t think she sleeps that well at night.

Then there’s a guy I’ll call “Ernie”.

Two and a half years ago he had an injury at work. He hasn’t worked ever since and, although he has a couple of kids from two failed marriages (one a teen and the other a very cute four year-old), he decided to move into his parents’ house where he still remains. He is getting medical treatment for his injury and is awaiting a doctor’s permission to get back to work. The real problem is he’s not getting that much younger and he doesn’t have much confidence in himself to try to get into something other than construction.

Not a situation that is high on the happiness scale.

Interestingly, these two examples of life’s troubles do create stress but haven’t devastated these people completely.  At least not yet.

They remain doing some things they love although it’s a struggle every day to make real change for a more meaningful life.

In my opinion they are both in the proverbial rut. They could be there for a long time.

What I’m getting to is that troubles in life generally are considered normal. We usually resolve our troubles, at least to some extent, although usually it takes a lot of time and often betterment is only at a minimal level.

For far too many this tends to take away the enjoyment of life in general.

Interestingly though we humans must have some sort of natural ability to continue to get by even when a difficult time persists. The problem is though it often takes a very long time before the negative effects become somewhat resolved or the stress from them somewhat eased.

In my own life I’ve come to realize that this is very much similar to the body’s ability to repair itself from disease or infection.

For the last four years I’ve had to deal with Graves disease.  It’s an auto-immune dis-function. Hypothyroidism they call it.  The body appears to be on a course of speeding up digestion of every available body cell.  I was starting to get really thin and weak.

I refused the prescribed medical treatment and instead I got on to some high quality natural supplements  and now, three years later, everything seems fine again.

My doctor was somewhat amazed that I recovered to a point that I now have absolutely no symptoms at all despite refusing his prescription.

Interestingly I was never all that emotionally downtrodden even though this disease, I was told in no uncertain terms, could be fatal without medical help.

Could the fact that I had done H.E.R.O. myself years ago allowed me to resist the negative aspirations of a serious disease? Could the increased speed of my mindset immunity actually assist my physical turnaround?

I think it must have.

The human immune system in most of us has an amazing capability. It utilizes a tremendous ability to operate with unparalleled intelligence. It can set to work on overcoming a certain invader almost instantly the minute it is recognized.

I think you can think of it as an amazing crumple zone for physical health (although in my case for a few years at least it seemed to have reversed itself during my Graves disease experience).

But there’s a problem when it comes to the thinking mindset in many adults.

Immunity, if it exists in the realm of the thinking mindset at all, does not seem to be working at the same speed in this realm as it does in the physical.

Even when a person has the benefit of the usual programs in personal development or professional therapy a return to a somewhat natural emotional wellness can take months or sometimes years and the cost is hugely expensive.

Over the last ten years I’ve come perfect a new tool that assists a type of human immunity. Not the one that acts on the physical of course (I’m not a doctor) but the one that acts on the ethereal. It seems to enable mindset immunity to speed up by a huge percentage and to therefor create a new advantage in one’s gain of their personal development.

In January 2010 I will publicly launch this new tool to all those in North America.

As of now I’m seeking 25 serious people who would like to experience this new phenomenon in their own life. No need to explain to me what your problem is either. I’m not a counselor and we don’t need to get into it to resolve the problem anyway. You’ll be doing that on your own automatically after H.E.R.O. has been completed.

It will be done on-line from wherever your have your computer situated in North America.

My system only looks at how your success history has been done in your past. One day is all it takes and, because benefits seem to be permanent, repeat attempts to use this new tool are not needed nor will they allowed.

To apply for a free mindset immunity experience through the use of H.E.R.O. leave me a comment or send me an email and I’ll get back to you.

It’s worth over seven billion dollars a year. Millions of us engage in its use every day.

But, for many of us it’s an unrealized waste of time.

I’m talking about the burgeoning self-help or self-development, or self-improvement industry. Whatever you call it that’s the one that’s got some of the biggest most recognizable names making huge profits from it.

Names like Dr. Phil, Dr. Laura, Dr. Grey and let’s not forget Tony Robbins.

But there’s a serious flaw here and it boils down to simple physics: heat rises.

What’s that got to do with your practice of self-development techniques?

Plenty.

Most of us have tried this in the past, but if you haven’t be a good sport and play along.

Take a positive statement such as “Today is going to be the best day of my life!” Say it out loud while you stand in front of your bathroom mirror or when you’re alone in your car driving down the freeway on your way to work.

Say it repeatedly for a couple of minutes or so.

Notice how you feel. A little more perked-up maybe? No different at all?

Either way it’s a problem. If you had paid someone like Brian Tracy to instruct you to do this and nothing happened you’d be out your money. On the other hand if something did happen and you felt better you’d still lose.

“Say what?”

You’d still lose because it’s simple physics that heat rises right? Now I know that your thoughts aren’t really physical things but that doesn’t matter the rule still applies. Here’s why.

Thoughts, even good ones,  originate in your head. Many thoughts added together, even if they’re repeated, form a pattern. That pattern throws off an invisible “heat,” called an attitude,that becomes a motivating force within you. The longer the thought pattern the greater the heat or attitude and the resulting strength the motivating force has.

Now stay with me here this is where it gets interesting.

This motivating force will cause you to move. It might be just a simple smile that you put on when meeting someone such as a client or your girlfriend’s father. Or it might be to boldly burst into your boss’s office to say you’re quitting because you’ve decided that life’s too short to waste your time working for him.

Doesn’t matter what it causes you to do as much as why it causes you to do it.

The motivational heat from thoughts in your head have gone downward into your body and made you act. But its effectiveness is short lived because of the physics of it.

It’s like trying to heat water by directing the flame from the top. You get poor efficiency and you use too much fuel.

You live in a world that is full of other sources of stimulation that also create attitude [heat]-producing thought patterns within you. They can conflict with existing thought patterns and often act to cancel each other out causing confusion as to which direction to take. This makes decision making more exhausting as well as time-consuming.

So you find yourself the next day back in front of your bathroom mirror with your positive affirmations again.

On and on it goes until you eventually burn out.

Doing things this way will make you one of the 95% of people who never succeed to the degree they’d like to. It’s just too much work.

The solution to all of this is to do what you do when you want to cook something in a pot. You heat it from below.

Don’t use your thoughts to create motivation instead go with your gut. Motivation from your gut (gut brain) is far more authentic. After all isn’t love based in the heart area?

Dynamic business leaders and decision makers don’t like fluff.  They very often will say that their best decisions are based on perceptions that come from how a thing feels.

Try it. It’s quicker and you’ll be happier for a lot longer with less stress.

Till next time,

More power to you all

“A merry heart goes all the day. Your sad tires in a mile-a.”

William Shakespeare made that observation about the connection between the mental state and the rate at which we are able to function some 400 years ago.

I guess things don’t change much do they? Happiness, it seems, gives us more energy, while sadness makes us feel warn out.

Who knew?

Almost all of us who have any experience with the ups and down of life that’s who. Had a rough day at work? You get home and all you want to do is crash in front of the boob tube, gobble up something quick and down some suds. What channel is the Simpson’s on again?

In contrast you may have had a great day (lucky dog!). The supervisor commented on how effective your suggestions have been and has sent off a memo to that effect to those who matter. You get home and you’re ready to party. You feel like the day passed so quickly it’s like you’ve gone through some sort of time warp or something. You stay up late talking to anybody who wants to listen.

In humans it is clear that whatever the intellect is seeing that is what it becomes. Looking at all the troubles in your world as well as the world around you? Get ready for a bout of depression. Concentrate on all the abundance and beauty in the world and you’re in nirvana (unless you’re busy driving down the freeway of course).

But here’s the problem and it’s a huge one. It’s an un-controlable up and down existence. If the condition of your state (both physical and ethereal) is dictated by what you’re looking at any given time, then that fact alone exposes a vulnerability that could have severe consequences for your health and your ability to function in the world. You simply can’t ignore all the things coming at you and deal with them at the same time.

In his book “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind” Dr Deepak Chopra details studies done that associate an increase in the decline in a steroid known as DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) with the stress one encounters in life. DHEA is thought to enhance neuron health in the brain and is in natural decline as one’s age progresses. Experiments with subjects who practice TM (Transcendental Meditation) regularly have shown some improvement in the level of DHEA retention. TM, it seems, has some real merit. It’s true that thoughts do create biology.

This study is somewhat interesting to me since my work with H.E.R.O. over the years has demonstrated that it is at least 10 times more powerful that TM. I believe that’s because, as mentioned above, you end up feeling  like that which you are observing.  With H.E.R.O. graduates it is simply because the results of it creates a solid confidence and happiness that appear to stay active without much reinforcement despite continued stress-producing life experience.

Distress then can be dealt with more logically when one is in a state where more intrinsic intelligence is available to speed problem solving by making better choices quicker.

Can You Help Me?

The  beneficial results that I’ve been seeing with H.E.R.O. , over all the years I’ve been working with clients who have completed it, have been strictly anecdotal and so I’d like to take it a step up.

If anyone reading this has (or knows of anyone) who has access to the methods and means to do a controlled study into how H.E.R.O. might affect DEHA levels (and therefore better brain health and lower stress effects through what I now call “Positive Immunity”) I would be very open to talking with them.

Please let me know in the comment box below this post or click on the “Contact us” tab for other options.

Thanks in advance to all who can help.

When I talk to people about mindset immunity they look at me funny, like I’m suggesting that they should be numb to everything.

Zoned out like some kind of zombie.

That’s not what I mean at all. I mean that your thinking should react to stress like your body reacts to disease. As if your thinking mind had its own immune system because I believe it does.

In the body when a pathogen comes in to do damage it’s met head-on by the active agents in the blood that are there especially to defend their territory from the invader.
They work to neutralize the effects of the virus on the rest of the body.  They’re smart too; they remember things for the next time it happens. If you get a particular strain of cold virus, for example, they will fight it off then after it’s gone the system ‘remembers’ what it did to overcome the attacker.  Next time that same virus comes along and tries to get a foot-hold the system will recognize it and quickly mobilize to eliminate it with greater efficiency than before.

This is what our computer virus protection is modeled after. Would  you turn off your your anti-virus protection, drop your firewall, and then go surfing on the internet?

Probably not.

Then why would you take your thinking, unprotected as it is, out into the world every day? If we can design a machine to have a type of immune system then why can’t our human thinking have one as well?

Sounds like a crazy question?

Maybe not.

In his book “The Big Moo” author Seth Godin points out: “The world is changed, but our organizations haven’t changed along with it. We can no longer rely on the old solutions…”
I agree. A long time ago I recognized that when people want to improve their ability to do well in the world by becoming more motivated they typically do what has been done for decades. They reach for the next self-help book, seminar, or system and then try to glean motivational energy from it.  They get all high on the information.

That’s a problem.

It’s a problem because what they’re attempting to do is run on borrowed energy. The original ideas are not theirs. They’re someone else’s. That emotional high is like a drug and like all drugs it wears off. Then, like any addict, they need to go back for more. That keeps the self-help publishers happy.

I know that to believe in yourself is tough when the evidence to support that belief is hard to find. But that’s only because you don’t know where to look for it. There is an abundance of support for a solid belief in your own abilities but it’s buried under the weight of your many failures. You just need to commit the time to dig through them.

If you’re willing to do that I’ll lend you the tool that will help you dig.

Just shoot me a line and ask for more info about The H.E.R.O. Discovery eMachine. Don’t worry about money.  It won’t cost you a dime.

After you use H.E.R.O. you won’t have to breathe someone else’s fire ever again.
