Whatever we were inspired to have attraction for, we can only fuel that fire, or create new attraction by familiarity.

We are all dependent on familiarity. Anyone, from any walk of life, in any part of life only manages to maintain his/her tastes by familiarity. There is also about a 10% contribution of association (i.e. something is associated with a feeling you like or a good time you once had). When it comes to aversion, it will only remain undesirable as long as it is labeled in your mind as unfamiliar and unlike you.

Thus when we take on something like addiction, we must appreciate how important it is to gently or aggressively discipline our thoughts to make something unfamiliar and another thing familiar.

The result will be power over the addiction. The extension of this is that you get to change what you like and what you love and what you understand to those things that serve you!

No one is one thing. Every person ...

Pfizer got published in the Wall Street Journal recently because it had created a web presence that would allow physicians to have a social interaction on the web with other members and with the company itself.

This hit the news mostly because of the concern it creates ethically.

Physicians are now going to be able to get ongoing "support" for prescribing Pfizer drugs and will get to know how they are prescribed by other physicians. Physicians will, presumably, discover other possible uses for Pfizer drugs, some which might not be approved.

Some of my readers will no doubt think this unlikely and sure to be the exception, not the rule. Actually, though, drugs are frequently prescribed for things they are not approved for.

The perfect example is Prozac which gets prescribed more for things it is not approved for than for things it is approved for!

Of course, I am going to draw a very d ...

In taking on the position as a weblogger on the subject of natural healing and self-healing, it seems only appropriate that I meet certain popular subjects with the insights of this field.

So the recent Wall Street Journal article on the malfunctory defibrillator wires from Medtronic's product seems to stimulate a natural healing response.

First the problem discussed is that the surgically implanted device, designed to deal with abnormal heart beats or fibrillations in a person suffering from that kind of heart disease, uses wires that are breaking and thereby causing an unwanted and useless shock and in at least one case death.

The company discussed the rather rare problem and pointed out that the reality is that the danger from the malfunction is lower than the danger of surgery to fix the problem. Hmmm.

This sounds a little vexing to me. Here is a device that is less dangerous when it malfunctions than when it is surgi ...

In point of fact, modern medicine problems are not new, they are as old as the field itself.

Some of us feel that medicine really should be something people do out of love and transcendent drive and not out of money. Certainly, success in any field means both money AND serving a larger group of people.

The problem, of course, is where do you draw the line? When is it more about money than individuals? Such a line should be carefully gaurded in medicine.

I recently read in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Oct. 10, 2007 ed.) about a concern over a doctor shortage in Georgia. This problem is not shared nation wide, actually many places have a ridiculous surplus, but some states are spending money to try to fix the problem of too few.

The concern is valid to the extent that you have decided that you are a victim of health problems and injuries just happening to you.

I have long challe ...

Cultivation is the third step in foundational changes. After you have managed the shift in foundation that resulted in more freedom from your inner bondage, then you went for mental reprogramming which gives you power and helps you be the person who will have great success. This is where you learned the laws of attraction and action.

Now you are ready to begin step three: cultivation.

Cultivation is a concept that has many names and the name I have chosen has its origin in Oriental philosophy...very ancient Oriental philosophy.

The idea is that you are not bound by the life experience that is passed down to you from your family or shared with you and reasoned about with you by your fellow humans. Indeed, you can choose a life pattern and trajectory that is far different...for our purposes, of a far higher nature.

If you could graph the most common life experience of humans today, you would have a graph that looks like a m ...

After anyone has gone through, or begun to go through foundational changes and has begun to experience separation from their own learned helplessness, they are ready to go to the next step, which is toward creating programs of success.

Most people, even when learned helplessness is out of the way, still find themselves falling grossly short of what they would like to be achieving. In order to achieve more than our current trend, we have to learn the art and science of reprograming.

This is done on several levels. The simplest way to reprogram both mind and body is to use physical aversion therapy. You can learn more about this technique by going to the downloads page on this site. That page is available under the "Free Info" tab when you are logged in. There is a lot of free stuff there and you can put it to good use anytime. Among other things, there are two tools there for reprograming: "Physical Aversion Therapy" and & ...

Foundational changes are what is required if the life program we are running does not support some movement we wish to make in life.

Maybe we are trying to create wealth, become a public speaker, heal a relationship or, a really big one, change a pattern where we keep attracting to ourselves hurtful relationships, people or things.

There is a lot of self-help out there today for everything you can think of. This is a good thing, mostly and I think gives people a little help here and there. Frankly, though, it has not been my experience that most of the self-help available now is all that helpful to the people who need it most. Maybe this is intentional, some trainers might really not feel like it is the best use of their time to "stoop" to those in such bad shape that they cannot even reach up and grasp a perfectly good rope being thrown to them.

On the other hand, what I have consistently found is that if you get right dow ...
