Fun & Games with Cold Reading Experts

As far as I know, real psychics don’t put themselves on display. They also don’t talk your head off while they constantly look for positive feedback from their “paranormal” banter.

I recall when an audience member told me that I was reminiscent of Orson Welles. I assume that was a compliment because I admired Orson Welles as a small boy. Besides being a magician and an actor, I admired the way he got into people’s heads. As a little boy, I was always mystified by that.

Here’s Orson in an interview with David Frost in 1970 talking about his salad days as a cold reader and how he began to convince himself of his amazing “abilities:”

Now, you’re probably wondering about more great examples of cold reading. You have to be aware that to be a cold reading expert that you have to be willing to talk the other person’s head off while looking for positive feedback from whatever is spilling out of your mouth.

Fortunately, people can be excellent listeners when it comes to private affairs. Here’s an example from the Skeptics Dictionary:

For example, Bertram Forer has never met you, yet he offers the following cold reading of you:

Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary and reserved. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. You pride yourself on being an independent thinker and do not accept others’ opinions without satisfactory proof. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety, and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. Disciplined and controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside.

Your sexual adjustment has presented some problems for you. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a strong need for other people to like you and for them to admire you.

Here’s another reading that you might find fairly accurate about you:

People close to you have been taking advantage of you. Your basic honesty has been getting in your way. Many opportunities that you have had offered to you in the past have had to be surrendered because you refuse to take advantage of others. You like to read books and articles to improve your mind. In fact, if you’re not already in some sort of personal service business, you should be. You have an infinite capacity for understanding people’s problems and you can sympathize with them. But you are firm when confronted with obstinacy or outright stupidity. Law enforcement would be another field you understand. Your sense of justice is quite strong…

Being a person who understands extra sensory perception at a more intrinsic level, I can assure you that real psychics don’t do cold readings. In fact, everyone does cold readings. Everyone loves to read a book by its cover. Everyone loves to judge others by appearances alone.

Well, everyone but a few. There are very few who can see deep into the soul of another without talking their heads off. Otherwise, it’s all for showmanship. And if people so desparately and completely want to believe in that cold reading because it serves as some type of closure in their lives, so be it.

To that effect, I’m trying to get more NLP videos done ASAP. The difference with NLP is that I’m telling you rather than asking you what’s true. My personal fun and games with Storm NLP and Supernatural NLP will be coming very shortly. In the meantime, please enjoy the following cold reading by Rosemary Altea for those who lost loved ones:


Keys to Qigong Meditation: Yin / Yang Perspective

There are aspects of Super Human Morals of a Qigong Master that I would like to clarify. When Dynamo Jack talks about “Separation of Yin and Yang” most western mindsets are unable to grasp this important concept in Neigong or Qigong Meditation.

When we see Dynamo Jack use his hands, he’s not using them like some sort of contrived “psychic” waving off the evil spirits; he’s actually manipulating energy through “separation of yin and yang.”

But what does that mean to most people? I’m hoping to educate you a bit on this concept of separation in qigong meditation. This is a deeply academic subject that covers volumes of literature, but I’m hoping to be brilliant enough to make you understand this simple concept of yin / yang separation.

Basic Understanding of the “Keys”

I’m going to cover only the key concepts of what you need to understand in terms of using qigong in your everyday life.

Have you heard of mindfulness meditation? We use this concept of mindfulness meditation when we begin qigong meditation. We pay attention to only one function at a time during mindfulness meditation and that function begins with the breath.

We focus on the experience of respiration. We pay attention to the deepness of our breath. We pay attention to the completeness of the exhale. We focus on the feelings and sensations within that breath such as warmth and taste. We focus on the sound of our breathing, although it is relatively silent. This is mindfulness. The First Key is Attention.

When you apply your attention to any particular body part or a physiological function, you are sending energy to that part or function. For example, people with cardiovascular hypertension are very high strung. They pay a lot of attention to the pounding of the heart in their chests or the pain in their heads.

When you denote too much attention to certain functions that don’t need the extra energy, this causes an imbalance. We all have this in born ability to direct our energies through the focus of our minds. When we over obsess about a pain for instance, either physically or emotionally, we denote energy to that pain to make it stronger. For example, People with depression are especially capable of obsessing over their internal pain.

Fortunately, qigong is all about balance. The ancients who first studied qigong studied all of nature and how it maintains balance. These same researchers also perceived the human body as a microcosm of the universe with all the same energy ebbs and flows. More importantly, they studied our human connection with the rest of the universe including our planet.

Through their experiments, somehow, these qigong adepts realised that the “ley lines” or lines of energy forming a matrix around the globe was reflected within the microcosm of the human body as the energy meridians.

I hope I didn’t lose anyone there. Except for strong and weak forces, it’s rather like comparing the forces at work in the galaxy as they apply to our solar system, then apply those same principles to our planet, and finally to us.

In essence, the ancients studied how natural forces differentiate into separate polarities: Earth vs. Sky, Down vs. Up, Space vs. Mass, Gas vs. Solid, etc. They realised that all these separate universal polarities also exist within the living human. Therefore, in qigong and traditional Chinese Medicine, the living body is treated like a microcosm of the universe.

Since we are microcosms of the universe, we must be connected to the universe through equivalent lines of force. I’m hoping that I’m not going over anyone’s head with this.

To help clarify, I supposed we could think of a living body as a USB harddrive connected to a PC where we’ve downloaded important system information. (Let’s pretend we’re using a memristor artificial intelligence with graphene holographic memory.)

In essence, we’re all like USB harddrives connected to a PC as long as we’re alive or in this universe. As long as we maintain our connection to the PC, we can get energy and information to perform different tasks. By the same token, we get energy and information from the earth and the rest of the universe to live our lives through our connection. The second key of Qigong Meditation is connection.

For most people, their connection with the universe is limited because they are raised that way. All of us learn through communication. All of us get our energy from food.

But how many of us learn through alternate means like extra sensory perception? How many of us get our energy from alternate sources like the earth or the sky? Most of us are just not brought up that way, but it’s most important during meditation to focus our attention on our connections with the universe.

This is the original intention of meditation. When we concentrate our attention on our connections with the universe, we gain those alternate means of information and energy. We gain spiritual awareness. When you don’t do this, it’s like eating only bread and water. Some people eat only “bread and water,” yet they assume that they know everything they need to know about food.

I’m not focussing on these types of people. Right now, I want to focus on you by providing a few more key aspects on Qigong Meditation.

What is Qigong?

Chi (AKA Qi): “An internal energy that flows through the acupuncture meridians bringing a life-giving force to every organ in the body. Qi is used for every movement and action of the body; without it we die.” [p. 412, glossary, The Encylopedia of Dim-Mak, Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson.]

You can look up further details on Qi or Chi at the Definitions Page. I put Erle Montaigue’s definition here because it’s short and gets to the point. (It does not matter if you spell it “Qigong” or “Chi Kung.” You will find that the Chinese Masters always pronounce it beyond any english spelling.)

Basically, Qi is like the current in a battery and Yin / Yang are like the negative / positive potential difference in that battery. In living humans, we have an ordered plethora of “current” pathways as opposed to only one in a battery. Our “current” pathways are called energy meridians according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

When we practice Qigong, we’re doing energy / breath work. We use the breath and the mind to help guide the “current” along the correct pathes of the energy meridians.

In soft style martial arts like taijiquan and the more estoric hard styles like Shoalin Kung Fu, we built energy in our extremities through exercise such as the kata. When we meditate, we take that energy from the extremities and focus it along our energy meridians using the mind and the breath. Then we pour that energy into our main energy reserves.

The most famous energy reserve is known as the “tan tien” which is located at our center of gravity, just below the navel. After pouring energy into the “tan tien,” we can emit energy (Qi) from it during our exercise again in a more focused way than before. We repeat this cycle and keep building upon it.

This is how we forge our bodies in the fire of our spirits.

How do we “emit” energy?

We emit energy in many ways: We emit heat and humidity on a regular basis. We emit biophotons in the ultraviolet region. We emit a biocoronal discharge made famous by Kirlian Photography, but as you see from the video at Super Human Morals of a Qigong Master, “Qi” is the most esoteric energy emission.

Evidently, Qi is a form of potential energy or scalar because it is able to manifest as tremendous heat when provided with the necessary human intention.

What creates potential energy? Separation of Yin and Yang: The greater the separation, the greater the potential difference. How does this happen in a human?

In our hands, we have an acupuncture point known as “Laogong.” This is point number 8 on the pericardium meridian (P8); it’s on the palm, on the “life line” between second and third metacarpal bones. “Laogong” literally translates as “labor center.” As “Laogong” applies to the hand, it means “hand center.” “Laogong” is the major exit / entry point for Qi for martial artists, energy therapists, and lovers holding hands.

The left hand is yin, therefore a receiver of energy. The right hand is yang, therefore a giver of energy. As you can imagine, this is the source of our potential difference: The separation of yin and yang are between are left and right hands, respectively. With the proper (Qigong or Neigong) training, we increase that potential difference, so the Qi can manifest itself in different ways according to our intention.

Here’s a simple Qigong Meditation method cited from Erle Montaigue’s Dim-Mak Encyclopedia which makes good use of “Laogong” points. This method works with anyone who is being too obsessive or having destructive thoughts of worry, fear, or similar:

Place the left hand (Qi receiver) on the forehead. Place the right hand (Qi emitter) on the tan tien (at the center of gravity, just below the navel). Let’s say you’re doing this for someone else. The breathing of both patient and practitioner should be in the tan tien and in sync. After a while, you may become aware of a pulsing in your Laogong points.

Don’t fix your mind on this sensation or it will disappear. Keep your mind on the breathing. (First, breathe in sync with the patient. Then gradually breathe slower and deeper until the patient syncs up with you.)

What you are doing is creating a pathway from the fore brain to the center of the body taking excess [energy] from one place and putting it where there is deficient [energy]… better to stay with the breath in tan tien and let the Qi flow take care of itself.

This is a good balancing treatment that is easy to do on yourself or another. The results can at times be astounding. Don’t be demanding in your expectations, or you may miss any effect that is forthcoming. [p. 398, The Pericardium Meridian, The Encylopedia of Dim-Mak, Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson.]

I admit that this exercise convinces anyone of the effectiveness of using energy flow for balancing. Imagine how Dynamo Jack got there: All it takes is some serious discipline and dedication to your art.

Now, you know, quite simply the keys for utilising Qigong Meditation: Attention, Connection, and Energy Flow. We can utilise our natural potential energy as a separation of yin and yang with our hands for healing through balancing energy flow.

Now, you know that when we hold hands with our loved ones how it’s a “give and take” relationship.

Thanks for your time, Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Fear of Intimacy: Sneezing and Post Coital Blues Syndrome

My google alerts have sent me this article more than once. It’s an article called “Sexy Thoughts Make You Sneeze.”

Dr Mahmood Bhutta, an ear, nose and throat specialist at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, launched a study after seeing a patient who suffered “uncontrollable” sneezing fits every time he had a sexual thought and after finding seventeen more people (on the web) suffering from the same malady.

Dr Mahmood Bhutta and many other people somehow prefer to categorize this reaction of sneezing in response to sexual excitation as nothing more than a mechanical reaction.

Dr. Bhutta calls it “wires getting crossed” while others such as at this post, “Why to people sometimes sneeze suddenly during sexual intercourse?…” would prefer the vasodialation / histamine release explanation. These people who prefer the mechanical explanations are also having intimacy issues.

How do I know they have fear of intimacy? 99% of the people on the web who talk about these kinds of problems are on the web because they have a fear of being close to others; they fear intimate, emotional contact.

I’ve been in gestalt groups myself where there’s plenty of emotional release; few if any of the participants bother taking their intimate problems to the web because they know the web is too impersonal. An impersonal playground is perfect for people with fear of intimacy.

You need to understand something: We’re more than meat sacks with a complex set of biomechanical/biochemical functionality. We’re also emotional beings.

There are those who might say, “What does sneezing have to do with the emotions?”

First off, it’s not only sneezing that people experience as an adverse reaction when they have fear of intimacy. Secondly, the sexual function is a function of intimacy when you’re in love with your partner. People with fear of intimacy have all kinds of adverse reactions. Sneezing is only one.

As a student of qigong and TCM, I’ve studied the energy meridians. The energy meridians are attached to our organs which have mechanical AND emotional functions. I realise this concept of applying emotional functions to the organs runs completely counter to the western mindset. Fortunately, I am not restricted to any particular mindset. Let’s look at one example, so I can reason out for you how our organ functions determine physical and emotional mindset:

The Spleen Function

For example, we need to look at the spleen as an energy function attached to an energy meridian. The spleen function helps us digest different foods to combine those components with the lung function of respiration to create energy. The spleen function also helps us to digest ideas and concepts.

There are people who are very closed minded about accepting new ideas. By the same token, these same people restrict their diet to certain foods, so they’re probably not willing to experiment with more exotic fare.

This means their spleen function is restricted both physically and emotionally - with the end result being that they experience restricted movement and energy level. This makes them somewhat antisocial because they prefer to socialise with people who see things “their way.”

On the other hand, there are people who are very open minded about accepting new ideas. By the same token, these same people love to try all kinds of exotic foods, so they’re willing to experiment with new flavours.

This means their spleen function is very flexible both physically and emotionally. The result is that these type of people are very flexible, so their energy levels are able to peak when necessary. This makes people with flexible spleen functions very social and accepting of others no matter how different.

Do you understand where I’m going with this? OK, you’re asking “where does the sneezing come in as an emotional response to intimacy?”

All you have to do is a further search on the web under “fear of intimacy, adverse reactions.” You’re going to find all kinds of articles dealing with the subject.

For example, “Relationship First Aid: How to Heal a Fear of Intimacy” pretty much blames ‘the gender imposed restrictions of society.” The only problem I have with this article is that it seeks to intellectualise an emotional problem like a psychoanalysis session.

Yes, it does help to voice your feelings to your loved ones, but how many people with intimacy issues know how to do that? A person needs the heart knowledge first on how to express themselves. Fear of intimacy tends to restrict expressions to a purely intellectual level; this is why we have so many “intellectual” explanations for sneezing when you have sexy thoughts.

These people are restricted and bound up so tightly that the only time they have confidence is on the web. On the web, they’re the greatest thing since sliced bread, but tread outside of those restricted areas of biochemical/biomechanical response and we’re committing serious taboo.

OK, I’ll get to the sneezing. Wait.

Here’s another excellent article: “Fear of Intimacy: Discover how a fear of intimacy affects your relationship.” This article hits a little closer to home in terms of neglectful or intrusive parenting and family role models. this article reminds me of the “go away closer” concept I read a few decades ago in one of Wilhelm Reich’s books which is an extended response of character armor caused by blocking emotions of love. The best recommendation by Dr. Nicastro is introspection on intimacy issues, but how many people with fear of intimacy actually want to get intimate with themselves?

The rest of the articles that I find on this subject of fear of intimacy are pretty much the same result: The authors want us to push through the fear of intimacy by using intimacy, either with others, or with ourselves through introspection.

Let’s admit it, when we have a fear of something, that means we have a fear of using it. If you have a fear of fire, then you’re not going to use it. Is that right? By the same token, if you have a fear of intimacy, then how are you going to use it to help yourself?

Let’s go back to that sneezing response, now. That sneeze response is actually very light fare compared to other adverse reactions to intimacy. There are wife beaters. There are any number of fetishists out there who obviously have intimacy issues because they mix pain and/or humiliation with pleasure. Is that right?

If you only sneeze when you get sexy thoughts about your mate, then consider yourself lucky; you only have a hangnail compared to the berserk insanity that other people have. Well, kind of.

I also have that sneezing problem. I almost have it licked, but all have have to do is imagine being with the one I love in the most intimate way and… “achooo!” For me, this is a problem because I’ve had it so long. It’s disheartening and demoralising when I truly want to be close to that certain someone, then I sneeze. When you’ve had it long enough and it’s definitely a barrier, it’s just not funny. Well, maybe not to me, probably not to you either.

The Lung Function

I’m not going to cover the entire lung function here because it’s extremely extensive according to TCM. I’ll just tell you how it’s connected to the sneezing function.

The sense of smell is controlled by the lungs and also the spleen. If the lungs are not good, the sense of smell will be weak and the nose will be blocked. If the lungs are affected by much heat, the nose will be red and the nostrils will flare… [The Lung Meridian, p.330, The Dim-Mak Encyclopedia, Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson]

Remember what I told you about the spleen? Since it functions in direct correlation with the lungs it deals with the expulsion of unacceptable matter in the lungs; it also uses the lung function to help expell unacceptable ideas, such as being truly close to someone.

I admit it: I have fear of intimacy and it’s gotten in the way of my love life. Fortunately, it’s only a sneeze, so I count my blessings and I look for answers. Where to look? Find people who tell us how to solve our intimacy issues. Where to find them?

I found them at Gary Craig’ site on emotional freedom techniques (EFT); it looks like there are other people who found a way to cure their fear of intimacy through EFT. I did a search at the site and found “from fear of intimacy to an open heart.”

What you’re supposed to do in EFT is tap within these shotgun target areas of your energy meridians as you vocally express your issues then affirm yourself. For example, here’s the script set forth at “from fear of intimacy to an open heart:”

Place your hand on your heart (otherwise known as the sore spot in EFT) and massage it in a circular motion while making the following pledge statement aloud:

Even though I have this fear of intimacy…

Even though I fear that if I get close to someone again, I will just risk getting hurt again and that will mean experiencing all that pain over again…

Even though I cover up my fear of intimacy by busying myself and keeping myself distracted, I realize this no longer serves my highest good and choose instead to release and trust that things will always turn out for the best, even if at the time it doesn’t appear to be so.

Even though I fear making myself vulnerable for fear of getting hurt, I choose to open my heart slowly, bit by bit, at my own pace and in my own time. I choose to learn how to trust others again and start by trusting myself implicitly.

Even though this fear of intimacy is preventing me from having the best possible relationship, I choose to open my heart to love again so that I can enjoy deep, meaningful and loving relationships.

Even though at times I don’t allow an intimate connection with myself, I choose to nurture and support myself in all that I do. I choose to let go of my fear of being hurt and I choose to feel safe and secure.

Reminder Pledge: Tap one (shortcut) round of each of these statements

Round 1: I hereby choose to be completely free of the all fears that are keeping me from being intimate and loving again.

Round 2: I hereby release all fears and doubts about my ability to be intimate and to love again.

Round 3: I choose to open my heart slowly, bit by bit, at my own pace and in my own time.

Round 4: I choose to let go of my fear of being hurt and I choose to feel safe and secure in a new relationship.

Round 5: I choose to open my heart to love again so that I can enjoy deep, meaningful and loving relationships.

Round 6: I hereby commit to love.

You understand how that works? When you vocalise your issues, you’re releasing the emotional pressure that has built up in certain parts of your brain. That pressure only causes that invisible barrier to intimacy to get stronger. What we need to do is release the pressure by stimulating ourselves emotionally, first by tuning into the problem, then by inducing proper energy flow through affirmations.

You can get the free EFT Tutorial + Manual to see all the tapping points of EFT. The only problem I have with the EFT concept is they like to rename acupuncture points and they don’t match the energy meridian with the corresponding emotion; It’s just a generalised tapping set of shotgun points including rolling of the eyes (which makes me want to roll my eyes).

In general, EFT has been proven to solve emotionally based problems in patients around the world in a matter of minutes.

The difference is EFT was created to appeal to a western mindset, so it’s much simpler and more concise than anything I’ve learned in TCM. Most people want to learn how to take care of a problem in a few minutes rather than learn an entire encyclopedia of medical concepts (like me). So EFT was created for most people.

Now, I’ve you will excuse me, I’m going to do another round for my intimacy issues which I’ve had for decades. I don’t sneeze nearly as much, so it must be working.

Thanks for your time and Happy Holidays to one and All.

Sincerely,

Randolph, HealingMindN Medicine Man

Here is an article from the NY times that also deals with intimacy issues. I believe it has more to deal with healing issues. Here are a few excerpts:

Sex and Depression: In the Brain, if Not the Mind

I didn’t think much about his case until some time later, when I met another patient with a similar complaint. She was a 32-year-old woman who experienced a four- to six-hour period of intense depression and irritability after an orgasm, either alone or with a partner. It was so unpleasant that she was starting to avoid sex.

Recently, a psychoanalyst colleague — a man known for his skill in uncovering psychopathology — called me about yet another case. He was puzzled about a 24-year-old man whom he viewed as psychiatrically healthy except for intense depression that lasted for several hours after sex.

There is nothing strange about a little sadness after sexual pleasure. As the saying goes, after sex all animals are sad. But these patients experienced intense dysphoria that lasted too long and was too disruptive to be dismissed as mere unhappiness…

The research literature is virtually silent on sex-induced depression, but a Google search revealed several Web sites and chat rooms for something called postcoital blues. Who knew? There, I read many accounts nearly identical to those of my patients, with reports of various remedies for the malady…

Of course, the mainstream head shrink who wrote this could only think of applying drugs to the situation. I’m thoroughly dissappointed in mainstream medical practice for not researching their patients further. They should be asking their patients:

  • What are your expectations from your sexual relationship?
  • What are you getting from your sexual relationship?

I believe these are the two key aspects of intimacy: What your expectations? What are you actually getting?

Let’s assume that the general concensus between people is that they want to have sex to be closer to their partners. How are you doing that exactly? You get pleasure. You give pleasure, but how does that bring you closer to your partner? Does having sex actually make you feel closer to your partner?

Do you see that I’m now probing beyond the cognitive committments of most people including the head shrinks? In this case, the problem that’s most likely happening in “post coital blues” is lack of intimacy. The person suffering from depression after sex may actually want more intimacy, but her/his partner is not providing - more likely her partner.  (If she’s seeing more than one partner, that’s a lack of intimacy issue right there.)

Of course, I’m just postulating here in terms of neuroscience, but no more than that shrink in the article:  The amygdala harbors negative information when we don’t release it. We can have anger, frustration, and other related emotions, all bottled up in the amygdala until we release it.

The amygdala can also harbor negative feelings of ‘void’ like depression, loneliness, sadness. We get these feelings of void usually when something is lacking in our lives like appreciation, respect, and intimacy. In fact, let’s face it. We’re complicated. Feelings of frustration can set off feelings of despair, then anger, then rage.

When we have high expectations of another person, especially in an intimate relationship, and that other person does not meet those expectations, we can run the entire gamut of emotions until we finally hit that wall of depression. Therefore, another viable question from a head shrink to his patient is “how did you feel between the time you had sex and the time the depression hit you?”

The answer to this question would help us gauge the source of the problem.  The only problem is that a person can experience a lot of feelings right after sex in a matter of minutes if not seconds before hitting depression. What really matters is how two intimate partners can meet each other’s expectations.

The greatest part of intimacy is healing. No one ever told you that? Well, I’m telling you now. You’re both there to HEAL each other. Beyond the pleasure, that’s what sex is for. This is how two people become truly intimate with each other - through HEALING.

This is the reason everyone need to learn how to be a Sexual HealingMindN. When your intention is to heal your partner of whatever emotional void they may be experiencing during sexual intercourse, your relationship blossoms. You will meet each other’s expectations; no need for drugs, no need for depression. You should only have happiness together. Please study the literature available through Sexual HealingMindN, then practice, practice, practice.

Be a real man and bring her to the 9th wave, the way you’re supposed to. Thanks again for your time.

Academy of Remote Viewing Remote Influencing Event

Dear friend:

This is Gerald O’Donnell of the Academy of Remote Viewing and Influencing. We have a couple of important announcements and special offers to make.

I) Because of the nature of the events that we are all experiencing lately and which are affecting us all, Gerald O’Donnell will be giving a special 1 hour teleseminar hosted by Michael Jura tonight 12/17/2008.

Here are some of the topics that will be discussed:

Gerald will reveal to you the shocking (and highly inspiring) TRUE purpose of why our world is facing the crisis it suffers today…

Some of the valuable insights you can’t afford to miss out on are:

The global financial crisis is not the only big challenge that humanity will face in the next 3 years.

There is yet Greater challenge coming - gigantic Environmental crises.

Why these challenges aren’t negative events but necessary situations that are being manifested by the Unity Consciousness to “correct” certain conditions in the world.

Why we’re heading toward a brighter future (you might not think so when you read the world’s news, but Gerald has a different view!).

The key to surviving and flourishing in the new world ahead. Why all older structures are about to collapse. What is in store for us?

A single test that will tell you with 100 percent accuracy which structure will survive and thrive, and which will fail and disappear in the next decade.

The heartbeat of connection and separation. How we as a species have come to a major threshold of separation. And now we will be forced to reconnect towards One-ness.

What is the “Unity-Point” and why we all carry this and need to be reminded of this power than lies within us. How to totally overcome stress - no matter what, and get High on Unity Light.

The only key to de-energize and erase old emotional scars, blockages, and patterns proven to having become a burden to us. Why classical human psychotherapy seldom works.

The event has come and gone now, but the seminar has been recorded for your convenience and is accessible right here.


II) We know the power of our training, as countless of you have already experienced and proven it for 11 years. We feel that now, more than ever, you need to transform you mind, spirit, and biology through attaining the Higher vibrations and awareness it snuggles you within. Denial and procrastination will only make things harder for you. In order to achieve such, you need to awaken many dormant parts of your brain and DNA structures to confront our new realities. You need to shift into a Higher Being and take that quantum leap sooner rather than later.

Our training is highly transformative, and will enable you to navigate in peace and high awareness the big shift ahead. In order to help you, we have decided to make the following unique very special offer available to you for the holiday season. It will be valid until 12/31/2008. Think also of your loved ones and how such a gift could have much more meaning than just a gifting of material “stuff”We are offering a super discount of $100 on each Combination RV/RI course. Please order on-line and when asked for it put in coupon # CY121708C in the on-line coupon window.

We are also offering $50 off our Remote Influencing training. Kindly input Coupon # CY121708RI on the on-line order page

We are gifting a $30 rebate on the Remote Viewing Training. Put in coupon code # CY121708RV in the coupon window when you order.

If you order by phone, please tell the order desk operator your coupon code number and we will charge you only the reduced price.

We truly hope that this will help you acquire the body of High Mind techniques we would like you to master.

We know from experience that children as young as 12 years of age have benefited greatly, as did older seniors. There is no age when it comes to transform into a Higher being and enter a new Self.

We hope that you will take advantage of this offer for yourself and a perfect and really meaningful gift to others you care about.


III) It has come to our attention that many of you, often enough, go through the training just by listening to the CDs and do not try to apply these techniques outside of their daily sessions. Let us make something very clear: There is a large body of knowledge embedded in these courses. You can literally spend years exploring it and still not have reached all of it potential.

You should do the following if you can: as it is often the case, you may go into a semi-unconscious state when you listen to a session with your eyes closed. In reality, your sub-conscious hears it all even if your conscious mind dips into deep Theta and Delta. The training then changes and reprograms you deeper mind to focus on Higher Vibrations.

Nevertheless it would be good for you to listen to each CD as you take for instance a walk and thence allow your conscious mind to also absorb the material and hence remember it.

Thereafter, after having trained for while with the CDs in deep states it is IMPERATIVE for you to choose any and each technique and try to re-create these states and apply the technique, without using the crutch of the CDs in you daily life and activities. This is the main purpose of the courses. They are set up for you to learn certain skills, and then to go on your own and USE them as you go about you daily life. Play with each technique. Do not stay rigid. Don’t get discouraged if you do not master it all at first.

(It’s like weight training: Start small. Get positive feedback with successful reps. Then keep working your way up with more challenging projects.)

It is like learning to ride a bike or driving a car. You first use the training wheels or an instructor and then you let go and try on your own until riding or driving becomes second nature and you just enjoy it and use it for your purpose. You may stumble at first a bit. It is all part of the learning, but soon you reach a place where you need not even focus on how your driving or riding per se, and just enjoy the scenery.

Take our diamond body technique for instance: Are you aware how extremely powerful this technique is? You will not find it anywhere else that on our course.

It literally allows you to re-create a new you: a new mind, spirit and even biology. You can erase old scars by replacing them with implanted good memories replacing the old negative ones. The inner mind has no judgment and takes it all in. and will energize the ones you put your attention onto more.

You can also change you biology and mind operations.

But for that it is not enough to just listen to the R.I. CD#11 a couple of times. You need to set some time every day and methodically and with full intent re-create you new Being and persona. You will marvel at what you can achieve and how much you can mold and input into this new Being with the help of Higher Light Vibrations that give it existence.

There is so much more, and we will cover it in other communications.

And this is just taking the example of one technique.

We feel that many of you need some more help and maybe personalized monitoring and we stand available to provide it.

We are making available from now on personalized training to help you master techniques such as these, and also are about to institute teleseminar focus groups that will address specific aspects and trainings protocols that are on our CDs and expand upon it, all in an interactive format.

There will also be new products coming our next year. You will really enjoy partaking of this Joyful period of inner and outer transformation. We are one family and we want you to connect and feel it.

The 17 December 2008 teleseminar with Gerald O’Donnell is accessible right here.

We truly hope that this next communication and the teleseminar above will help allay many, if not most, of you fears and make you proud and happy to be part of the ultimate adventure we are all engaged in as a human family: The Great Consciousness Shift.

May the One Force be with you and yours.

Wonder-filled and happy holidays,

Give Away: Psychology of Intelligence Analysis

“Psychology of Intelligence Analysis” by Richard J. Heuer Jr. It was published in 1999 for CIA intelligence analysts. The basis of the book is to stress and maintain objectivity for agents when analyzing data.

According to the description: “This book aims to help intelligence analysts achieve a higher level of performance. It shows how people make judgments based on incomplete and ambiguous information, and it offers simple tools and concepts for improving analytical skills…”

Do you recall from the Rex / Sikes NLP Course about cognitive commitments? This asserts that people can be like flys after being trained remain stuck in a jar with an invisible lid on top. (It makes me wonder how many “invisible lids” I have that keeps me from doing all the things I should be doing!)

“Psychology of Intelligence Analysis” was written to remove those “invisible lids,” so agents can see the world objectively. The same should apply to everyone else which is why I want to share this book. Here’s an excerpt:

Heuer emphasizes both the value and the dangers of mental models, or mind-sets. In the book’s opening chapter, entitled “Thinking About Thinking,” he notes that:

[Analysts] construct their own version of ‘reality’ on the basis of information provided by the senses, but this sensory input is mediated by complex mental processes that determine which information is attended to, how it is organized, and the meaning attributed to it. What people perceive, how readily they perceive it, and how they process this information after receiving it are all strongly influenced by past experience, education, cultural values, role requirements, and organizational norms, as well as by the specifics of the information received.

This process may be visualized as perceiving the world through a lens or screen that channels and focuses and thereby may distort the images that are seen. To achieve the clearest possible image . . . analysts need more than information . . . They also need to understand the lenses through which this information passes. These lenses are known by many terms: mental models, mind-sets, biases, or analytic assumptions…

Heuer is addressing cognitive commitments as labeled in the NLP course. Whereas Heuer prefers agents to remove those cognitive commitments through a series of objectivity training exercises, Rex and Sikes are telling people to use them to their advantage by working within your own mental set of parameters to turn bad habits into good ones.

The questions remain: Can people be completely objective? Can people turn all their bad habits into good ones? That’s like asking: “Can people be perfect?” I’m going to let you answer that one.

To that end, I believe that both of these books strike a careful balance between left and right brains. If you can’t be completely objective, you can recalibrate those mental barriers to make them work for you. If you can’t recalibrate all those mental barriers to work for you, then you can practice some objectivity that allows you to focus and solve the problem at hand.

Heuer and I agree with each other; that you can’t just think about it. This is a practice you have to take with you in the field (of your life):

Thinking analytically is a skill like carpentry or driving a car. It can be taught, it can be learned, and it can improve with practice. But like many other skills, such as riding a bike, it is not learned by sitting in a classroom and being told how to do it. Analysts learn by doing…

Regular running enhances endurance but does not improve technique without expert guidance. Similarly, expert guidance may be required to modify long-established analytical habits to achieve an optimal level of analytical excellence…

One key to successful learning is motivation. Some of CIA’s best analysts developed their skills as a consequence of experiencing analytical failure early in their careers. Failure motivated them to be more self-conscious about how they do analysis and to sharpen their thinking process….

One of the main concepts in the Rex / Sikes NLP Course is not only imagining your success, but your methods for overcoming adversity to achieve success as well. By the same token, CIA agents are encouraged through their failures, because it sharpens their objectivity towards accurate reporting.

The NLP Course mentions that most people imagine adversity, then stop without imagining how to overcome it because they don’t know how. In that case, you have to go “out in the field” like a CIA agent and ask other people how they overcame the adversity that you’re facing. (You will find many Healing MindNs this way.) You gather as much data as you can, then you come to your own conclusion on how to overcome your particular adversity.

Then there’s the alternate method of going “out in the field” and collecting data; it’s called Remote Viewing wherein you tap into the world matrix of information. As you might know, there are a few stories floating around about the CIA and their Remote Viewing Program; agents MUST be objective when employing an extrasensory device - or else it’s all fantasy. The thing is, self improvement is not their #1 goal.

If you have trouble getting clear pictures in your mind of adversity in different parts of the world, or even your success, the Remote Viewing Course by Gerald O’Donnell will help you. In fact, I’m going to discuss his mp3 downloads with you in another newsletter.

Finally, let me share an excerpt with you on the concept of externalization as written by Heuer:

Decomposition means breaking a problem down into its component parts. That is, indeed, the essence of analysis. Webster?s Dictionary defines analysis as division of a complex whole into its parts or elements.

The spirit of decision analysis is to divide and conquer: Decompose a complex problem into simpler problems, get one?s thinking straight in these simpler problems, paste these analyses together with a logical glue.

Externalization means getting the decomposed problem out of one?s head and down on paper or on a computer screen in some simplified form that shows the main variables, parameters, or elements of the problem and how they relate to each other…

This is what I am attempting to do. By writing my thoughts and theories for others to see, I’m externalizing my ideas on self improvement including pros and cons. From what I’ve experienced so far, more people (on the web) are willing to pass judgement because of their cognitive commitments. I’d prefer more objectivity.

I’d prefer to see more people who are passionate about life and are willing to come up with solutions to the world’s problems using their objective analysis (instead of leaving it to the “experts”).

As you might know, passion is what fires your imagination, so you can see all the good things (as well as overcoming adversity) that need to be seen in your mind’s eye, while your objectivity is what gives that vision clarity.

I want you to have all the necessary tools to make those objective decisions to ask yourself all the right questions to influence your reality and the reality of others for the better.

Give Away: Ultimate NLP Home Study Course

Get your personal copy of “Rex / Sikes Ultimate NLP Home Study Course.” This course not only rivals the best NLP/Persuasion courses out there, it ties them together through a series of lessons and exercises.

First, have you ever wondered exactly what NLP is? Between you and me, we know it stands for neurolinguistic programming, but what does that mean?

In terms of self improvement, NLP is a method for modeling excellence. For example, instead of asking yourself a negative question like, “Why am I so lazy?” You ask yourself, “How can I share goodness with the world - from my sofa?”

In essence, NLP is the study of subjective experience and is a system of modeling. As a practitioner of NLP, you study and model the behaviors of people.

What I find most interesting about this NLP home study course is a direct correlation to “push hands” training in Tai Chi Chuan. “Push hands” is the method of training that helps you predict your opponent’s actions through “listening” through your kinesthetic senses or feeling.

The lessons provided in this NLP course do exactly that, but the “listening” is through your eyes, ears, and the rest of your senses other than touch. If anything, this NLP home study course is the missing component from a martial arts class that mainly depends on your kinesthetic senses.

Imagine being able to predict a round house or a double axe handle from any particular direction just by “listening” to your opponent? In that sense, this course is a perfect adjunct to martial arts practioners.

For example, the calibration questions are like, “do you have 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth?” Instead, you can ask, “Are you going to sweep my ankle? Which foot?” “Are you going for a backhand thrust? Which hand?” etc.

On the other hand, imagine the rapport you gain with your spouse, your family, your friends, your boss when you can really predict how they feel, rather than simply generalize and assume, which is what most people do. Then act on those true feelings accordingly…

Of course, your spouse is most important when training these NLP exercises. With whom do you want the best rapport? And who can you depend upon because he or she also wants to benefit from greater rapport with others? Your spouse, of course.

By gaining greater understanding of the people around us, there is so much less conflict and so much more prolific action.

As long as you’re a good person, the ultimate goal of NLP is getting others to empathize towards you, so you can work together towards the shared goal of sharing goodness with the world and creating more opportunities for love, light, compassion and productivity.

The question remains: How do you share goodness with the world? How do you create more opportunities for love, light, and compassion?

At this point, maybe you think I want to sell this course to you. Actually, my goal is to share goodness, so I want to give it to you. But I do need something from you in return - and I’m only making this offer to Way of the MindGate Subscribers.

I would like to grow the subscribership to Way of the MindGate Newsletter, so I can have more opportunities to learn from like minds such as yours. I would like to give away more reports with the knowledge that I’m getting this information into the right hands.

Please subscribe to Way of the MindGate Newsletter. Then you will be redirected to the Refer a Friend page for the download link. Thereafter, you are automatically sent to a link page where you can download “Rex / Sikes Ultimate NLP Home Study Course” in an ebook.

Give Away: One Sentence Persuasion

“One Sentence Persuasion” report by Blair Warren? It goes something like this:

“People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions and help them throw rocks at their enemies.”

In this report, Blair Warren condenses his report in this single sentence, so it’s easy for us to remember. He explains how politicians and cults manipulate the masses by confirming suspicions, how commercials manipulate our desires, and how strangers break up families by encouraging unsatisfied dreams and unrequited love.

Blair does not bother mentioning the label, “devil’s advocate,” although this is exactly what he’s talking about. That’s why he knows that some people could be offended by the concepts in his report; it’s not within the cognitive commitments of the average person to understand that big business and big politics does not have his interest at heart.

Basically, by using the concepts in “One Sentence Persuasion” to get what we want, we’re using the emotional securities and cognitive commitments of immature people in our favour; we’re playing the devil’s advocate.

I can give you one example of this. In fact, I’ll give you an example from an article I recently read at Elliot Wave International, “Bailing Out Speculators Just Like a Bad Liver Transplant” which gives us a pretty good analysis of how this “bailout” by the U.S. Gov’t is really working.

In this case, the smokescreen is by mainstream media, namely NY Times, to stroke the emotional securities of it’s readership with the soft earmark of “Quarantine.” Mainstream media reporters do the bidding of powerful people behind the scenes. Fox News, for example, is the most powerful, Tavistock trained, devil’s advocate in mainstream news; they serve the agenda of their masters - not the people.

Therefore, this begs the question: Do you have any problem playing the devil’s advocate considering so many other people are doing it? That depends on what you want - doesn’t it? The end justifys the means, perhaps. That depends on your desires which should always play second fiddle to your prospect.

In any type of communication, the other person always sets boundaries induced by their cognitive commitments created by their emotional securities. Those emotional securities are set by culture and social mood, which the average person follows.

Are you an average person? I don’t think so, or else you wouldn’t be here. For this reason, I’m giving you “One Sentence Persuasion.”

Give Away: 100% Subliminal Force Technique

“100% Subliminal Force Technique” by David Shuttleworth uses Derren Brown’s style of NLP mentalism. You only have to compare the script in this report to one of the Derren Brown Videos on Youtube to get a sense of how it would work in real time.

Actually, this is a card trick that takes advantage of a person’s cognitive commitments or their gullibility and your ridiculous devotion to faking mentalism.

Shuttleworth is also selling his own book on mind control techniques. As you might know, all these mentalists pretty much copy from each other, so all the e-books that I’ve gathered on mind control probably covers that guy’s ebook in the UK.
