The interesting thing about what I do in my work is often the disparate connections I find with the physical and the ethereal. This time it’s something in ophthalmology known as stereopsis.

Mobius Monday Minute – #2 Prof’s Unusual Idea
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 antibiotic 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.
Famous Quotivations Day #1
Today we start a new series that I hope will become a tradition every Friday around here at Mobiusman.com. It’s borrowed from an idea that I saw recently being done quite expertly on a few blogs that I like to follow. I’ve just given this idea a little half-twist (in true Mobius fashion) of my own and called it “Quotivations”.
What is a quotivation? It’s a mash-up of two words: quotes and motivational. Get it? I thought you would you brainy thing you. You knew all along that good quotes, just like all well-assembled word pictures, have the power to motivate and inspire didn’t you?
So here goes our first submission in the “Quotivations Day Series:
“Failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success”
I found this quote in an email I got last week. It’s a quote from one of my most favorite authors of the success/failure dynamic – Napoleon Hill. I like him a lot. Not because he wrote one of the best selling motivational self-development books of all time but because he himself – like a ton of modern-day self-helper/coaches after him – failed to deliver the raw goods and instead skillfully side-stepped the most important “how to” information everyone was needing but no one was aware of yet.
Of course that’s one of the reasons he got away with it. The other is the fact that his was still an age of innocence. He became a masterful user of the language of his time and that was enough to placate his hungry audience. Enough that they bought his stuff in droves.
Unfortunately, Hill was a great salesman so no one ever noticed that he never got around to actually explaining the mechanics of persistence and determination that lay at the root of what he was trying to say in his books.
Is it because the English language had not evolved enough by his time so that he could use it to explain this mystery cogently? That might be part of it. We do have a better understanding of how human immune systems work these days than we had back then. But, of course, he would have had to have realized the esoteric connection as to what role mindset immunity plays in success attainment.
No one that I’ve ever come across has ever done it yet. A quick search in Google for “mindset immunity” just brings up results tied to this blog right here.
So, what exactly is the “seed of an equivalent success”?
I can sum that up in this one little three-word statement of fact: Failure causes immunity.
More power to you.

Spreading germy thoughts
This morning I was listening to the radio morning show on CBC. Every week they have a medical doctor on and he reports on some interesting findings from the world of medicine. According to the good doctor in past years lots of medical doctors and nurses showed up for work even if they knew they had a flu or cold. They thought that they were being of more service to their patients then not being there for them at all.
Of course, the fact that one sneeze can send out over 40,000 droplets of water full of active viruses into the office air, and could therefor easily spread the disease to the other patients, wasn’t fully considered that big a problem. After all the thinking back then was that no one was ever going to die from a cold or flu.
But that was before H1N1 cam along. That changed things forever and it’s a different story now.
But this is a blog is about mindset not medicine so I do need to draw a connection here and so here it is.
No matter if they be they embodied in physical viruses or negative thoughts damaging factors can easily spread, populate, and infect new hosts in very similar ways. For example, in offices everywhere managers have noticed that it only takes one worker voicing negativity to bring down the well-being of the entire work group.
Sound familiar?
That to me is a clear indication that thinking systems mirror the physical system as seen in the body. But the body has an advantage. It’s got an immune system that, if maintained in health, does an excellent job of handling invading pathogens on a daily basis. Unfortunately the one corrective system that I believe is present in the mindset is itself very slow acting.
So slow in fact as to appear to not be present at all. That leaves the thinking much more susceptible to negative invaders. In fact studies show this to be true. Our daily thoughts, they report, are on average about 70% negative.
So what kind of flu are you helping to spread?
More Power to you.
The Greatest Motivational Mystery Of All Time
We’ve all heard it said that “your first choice is often your best choice” and “trust your gut feeling it’s usually right“. This is something that is recognized as a phenomenon in many cultures the world over. It has caused people to make major decisions based entirely on how it felt rather than how it looked regardless of how strongly others advised them against it. I think this has got to be the greatest motivational mystery of all time.
Recently I ran across an interesting video on Evan Carmichael’s site that suggests this same advice should be considered number one when making business decisions. Check it out:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owXhVn-0YKI[/youtube]
