TAKE The PLEDGE

http://joetye.com/Pickle_Pledge.pdf

I’ve Taken The Pickle* Pledge (tm)
Copyright © 2008, Values Coach Inc.

“I will turn every complaint into either a blessing or a constructive suggestion.”

By taking The Pickle Pledge, I am promising myself that I will no longer waste my time and energy on blaming, complaining, and gossiping, nor will I commiserate with those who steal my energy with their blaming, complaining, and gossiping.

*So-called because chronic complainers look like they were born with a dill pickle stuck in their mouths.

The other side of the pledge card reads as follows:

Monday's Promise: RESPONSIBILITY
I take complete responsibility for my health, my happiness, my success, and my life, and will not blame others for my problems or predicaments.

Tuesday's Promise: ACCOUNTABILITY
I will not allow low self-esteem, self-limiting beliefs, or the negativity of others to prevent me from achieving my authentic goals and from becoming the person I am meant to be.

Wednesday's Promise: DETERMINATION
I will do the things I am afraid to do, but which I know should be done. Sometimes this will mean asking for help to do that which I cannot do by myself.

Thursday's Promise: CONTRIBUTION
I will earn the help I need in advance by helping other people now, and repay the help I receive by serving others later.

Friday's Promise: RESILIENCE
I will face rejection and failure with courage, awareness, and perseverance, making these experiences the platform for future acceptance and success.

Saturday's Promise: PERSPECTIVE
Though I might not understand why adversity happens, by my conscious choice I will find strength, compassion, and grace through my trials.

Sunday's Promise: FAITH
My faith and my gratitude for all that I have been blessed with will shine through in my attitudes and in my actions.

Past LIfe Spiritual Exercise

The technique below is available for reading in the Spiritual Wisdom Journal link found by clicking the title above which reads Past Life Spiritual Exercise.

Below the photo which will expand if you click on it,  you will find a link taking you to Youtube for a video explaining how to sing HU. Miracles occur when you do not try to manipulate events like magicians do, but harmonize with them so as to be untouched by circumstances. Another way of perceiving this may be explained as being in this world and not be a part of it just as the Lotus Blossom provides in its example when submerged.

O Superman


In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. - Stephen Jay Gould

http://www.stephenjaygould.org/

Such being the case then, the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of mental disorders--series one through five's labels--are neither science or apples, but guesswork put forth by an ignorant individual(s) culturally isolated to his Anglo-Germanic perception of our universe. [see: Soul Murder by Morton Schatzman]

Let's take a step on the wild side and go here if you, too, have difficulty in seeing the world from your blind spot.


December 8th, 2010, 5:00-7:00, Live Teleseminar, Sponsored by the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). Dr. Jim Tucker was the speaker on the teleseminar "Life Before Life" which is also the title of his book Life Before Life: A Scientific Investigation of Children's Memories of Previous Lives . The host of the program is Marylyn Mandala Schlitz, Ph.D.

In the interview, Dr. Tucker challenged the notion that consciousness is only the result of a functioning brain. He suggests that consciousness can be considered separately from the brain, which provides a basis for claims of reincarnation. He also discusses objections to reincarnation: the few persons who actually claim to remember a past life, the fragility of memories, the population explosion, the mind-body problem, fraud, and others. This was a live teleseminar.

And we have karma. Adi Karma is our primordial karma and may be mistaken for fate karma, but it has more to do with our original Spiritual identity unique with each individual or Soul.


I treat the concept of karma as being a more efficient method for the civil regulation of human behavior than using the concept of sin and associated fears combined with petty, useless codes and laws written to be ignored until needed by someone needing a scapegoat.

Psychiatrist Ian Stevenson's work Reincarnation and Biology makes the connections the DSM is blind for seeing.

Happy Thanksgiving 2011

Laying here this morning,
memories of Thanksgivings past,
and Thanksgivings that never happened.
came to me.

None would be complete,
without forgiveness,
extended by the provider,
and accepting gratitude,
offered by the receiver.

So it is tough to turn your back,
to one,
and accept from another,
and even more tough,
to be rejected by the one,
who accepted your forgiveness,
in years past as a child.

Which brings me to the memory,
of mine and my mother's last,
Thanksgiving and meal,
Warm milk from my hand to her lips,
Spoonful by spoonful,
To the forgiven,
From the forgiven.

A month later,
She chose to leave,
Her body at last,
As I read her the words,
From my battered copy,
Of Stranger by the River,
A love song of forgiveness,
Gratitude,
And eternal freedom.

My Cornish game hen's going into the crock pot Saturday. It should
last about three days and then its back to delicious black beans and
wild rice and the little blue bird of happiness that comes and goes.

When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
The old church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

This video shows what to expect and perhaps explains how Timothy McVeigh's destruction of a US Federal Building has done more for returning veterans than the song above has done. As Woody Guthrie said, "I won't guarantee you which way I point my gun to defend the Union."

Wikileaks servers for Collateral Murder are under attack by those whose opinions deny it happened unjustly just as the US Army denied its genocide on Cebu Island shortly after Wounded Knee by the same individuals.

"Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres" by Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, and Neil Peart [RUSH]

I. HEMISPHERES: Prelude

When our weary world was young
The struggle of the ancients was begun.
The gods of Love and Reason
Sought alone to rule the fate of Man.

They battled throught the ages,
But still neither force would yield.
The people were divided,
Every soul a battlefield.

II. APOLLO: BRINGER of WISDOM

I bring truth and understanding,
I bring wit and wisdom fair,
Precious gifts beyond compare.
We can build a world of wonder,
I can make you all aware.
I will find you food and shelter,
Show you fire to keep you warm
Through the endless winter storms.
You can live in grace and comfort
In the world that you transform.

The people were delighted
Coming forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their cities
And converse among the wise.
But one day the streets fell silent,
Yet they knew not what was wrong.
The urge to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so strong.
The wise men were consulted,
And the Bridge of Death was crossed
In quest of Dionysus,
To find out what they had lost.

III. DIONYSUS: BRINGER of LOVE

I bring love to give you solace
In the darkness of the night,
In the Heart's eternal light.
You need only trust your feelings;
Only love can steer you right.
I bring laughter, I bring music,
I bring joy and I bring tears.
I will soothe your primal fears.
Throw off the chains of reason
And your prison disappears.

The cities were abandoned,
And the forests echoed song.
They danced and lived as brothers;
They knew love could not be wrong.
But the winter fell upon them
And it caught them unprepared,
Bringing wolves and cold starvation
And the hearts of men despaired.

IV. Armageddon: The Battle of Heart and Mind

The Universe divided
As the Heart and Mind collided,
With the people left unguided
For so many troubled years
In a cloud of doubts and fears,
Their world was torn asunder into hollow Hemispheres.

Some fought themselves, some fought each other.
Most just followed one another,
Lost and aimless like their Brothers,
For their hearts were so unclear,
And the truth could not appear.
Their spirits were divided into blinded Hemispheres.

Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light.
My Rocinate sailed by night
On her final flight.
To the heart of Cygnus fearsome force
We set our course.
Spiraled through that timeless space
To this immortal place.

I have memory and awareness,
But I have no shape or form.
As a disembodied spirit,
I am dead and yet unborn.
I have passed into Olympus
As was told in tales of old,
To the city of Immortals,
Marble white and purest gold

I see the gods in battle rage on high,
Thunderbolts across the sky.
I cannot move, I cannot hide,
I feel a silent scream begin inside.

Then all at once the chaos ceased.
A stillness fell, of sound and peace.
The warriors felt my silent cry
And stayed their struggle, mystified.

Apollo was astonished;
Dionysus thought me mad.
But they heard my story further,
And they wondered, and were sad.

Looking down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and fear,
Its surface splintered
Into sorry Hemispheres.

They sat a while in silence,
Then they turned at last to me.
"We will call you Cygnus,
The god of Balance you shall be."


V. The Sphere: A Kind of Dream

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same.
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim.
Let the truth of love be lighted,
Let the love of truth shine clear.
Sensibility, armed with sense and liberty,
With the Heart and Mind united in a single perfect Sphere.

Children Learn What They Live

Several authors are given tribute for this poem. Clicking on the Title will take you to its brief history. The poem below was attributed to Hayaschi Terou, a karate master, who may have adapted it for his dojo mission statement.

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.

There are several versions of this poem, most likely inspired by the original in its contemplation. Some of the authors named in the link above are Dorothy Law Nolte, Rachel Harris (Workman Publishing Co. 1998), Dorothy L. Law 1959, Dorothy Law Nolte 1969, Ronald Russell 1971, Charles Anderson, and Duen Hsi Yen. Reading each version allows you to choose the most clear headed effect it may have in your contemplation. I like the Karate Dojo version for the simple reason it does not patronize those who've picked ethnocentric narcissism's lock to escape it's prejudices.

Accountable or Responsible

Frequently drug users and alcohol abusers lie about their agenda or leave out important details to avoid being held accountable for what they do or to avoid being expected to challenge injustice so attention will not be drawn to them.

The illegal nature of their use of drugs or irresponsible abuse of alcohol makes it difficult to have them as a friend unless we become a party to their lack of conscience.

The side effect of these chosen behaviors rips away and shreds the fabric of our citizenship--conscience--which covers the flesh of Walt Whitman's great dream, our nation.

May the Eternal Good's unconditional grace and love favor the quick and may Its wrath protect them.

It’s the Zeigarnik Effect

WHAT MAKES OR BREAKS RELATIONSHIPS?

By Leigh Pretnar Cousins, MS
http://www.leighcousins.com/

Why do some relationships succeed, while others fail?

Why are some people lucky in love?… while others of us (equally warm, wonderful, valuable and lovable human beings!) endure one romantic train wreck after another?

Is it Fate?

Timing?

The random miss-alignment of the planets?

Or maybe there truly exists some Freudian subconscious self-sabotage thingy, that drives certain people (like…er, umm…me?) to be Fatally Attracted to one Heartbreak Hotel after another?

In John Gottman’s latest book, The Science of Trust, I have finally learned that, No…...it’s the Zeigarnik Effect.

Stay with me…

So Bluma Zeigarnik was hanging out in a cafe one day, in Vienna, in 1922, and she noticed the astonishing memory the waiters had for their customers’ orders. The waiters never had to write anything down!

Curious Bluma then interviewed the waiters, and found out that as soon as the orders were fulfilled, the waiters forgot everything.

This was later coined “The Zeigarnik effect.” It is defined as follows: We have better recall for events that we have not completely processed. Zeignarik found that, on average, there is 90% better recall for “unfinished events” than for events we have somehow completed….(The Science of Trust, p 209)

Gottman points out that in every relationship, just like the bumper sticker, S#!T HAPPENS.

And if you think a minute, you’ll be able to name some relationships in which cascades of major-league S#!T has gone down on a regular basis…and those folks are still together!

So, it’s not the S#!T that destroys a relationship.

It’s whether or not the Zeigarnik Effect is allowed to kick in.

Negative events (the super-biggies but also the near-infinite teeny-tiny ones) are a constant and unavoidable part of any relationship. Comments, gestures, bids for sexual attention or emotional comfort, jokes, gifts…talked too much at the party?…forgot to scoop the cat box?…didn’t call?…called too often?…always getting it right is NOT an option, and every interaction between two people has the potential to go awry and hurt someone’s feelings.

The Zeigarnik Effect says that if relationship S#!T, no matter how seemingly inconsequential, doesn’t get emotionally processed and “closed out”, like the waiters’ checks, it gets mentally rehearsed over and over and over, and piled in with all the other unprocessed S#!T, until the relationship becomes a cesspool of negativity.

In sharp contrast, here’s Gottman Explaining Relationship Success (p 204):

The way relationships work well is that when negative events are fully processed, there is no Zeignarik effect. Hence, these events are not very well remembered, nor are they mentally rehearsed. Instead positive events are remembered and rehearsed. Trust is built because our partner has “been there” for us…our partner, through processing our negative emotions, has demonstrated that he or she has our best interests at heart and is “there for us.” We remember those positive moments…and we minimize the negative in the relationship…We decide that our partner has mostly lasting positive traits that “explain” why we are staying with this person who generally makes us happy, whom we can trust, whom we feel safe with, and whose negativity is hard to remember….New, continually processed negative events are recalled, but only dimly…positivity becomes self-generating…Even if the partner does something nasty, he or she is seen as a wonderful and trustworthy person who is temporarily stressed or in a bad mood.

So there you go! Those “lucky” couples?…are the ones who, for whatever reason, know how to process negative relationship events and not let them fester and poison their love.

Meanwhile, I continue to wonder about the rest of us….like those of us who have endured repeated emotional trauma.

What if “holding no secrets and making your life an open book”(one of Gottman’s recommendations) just doesn’t feel like an option?

Is there nothing but more train wrecks in our futures?

Got a Job?

Philosophy of Work

A job is like a baseball game in the sense we tacitly rise to each others’ expectations by knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each position. A job is not a way of life because merit evaluations only confirm our ignorance to our potential. Therefore, the superior employer earns the most enduring respect by seeking the finest truth without sacrificing employee identity or group hospitality to establish empathy, cooperation by agreement, and inter-harmony.

Personal Perspective

I stay young or preserve liquid intelligence when I endeavor to integrate my work and interests with learning something new everyday. Semiotics, semantics, linguistics, pharmacognosy, the functionality of focused creativity (e.g. human factors engineering), and minimalism in aesthetics of design and utility (e.g. healing gardens, architecture) cover a broad range of interests. One could say the facets on my gem of self-control in pursuing them are tolerance, patience, contemplation, temperance, and ethics. And so it is, I am a poor toady to ignorance and resolve regrets with self-preserving altruism.

Solving the Medical Care Crisis in the US using Common Sense

Clicking on the title above should take you to www.ceri.com/dean2.htm

In his article, Ward Dean MD provides eight factors to resolve the manufactured crisis.

1 Open enrollments in medical, nursing, and other health-care related fields like X-ray, laboratory technology, physical therapy, etc, to allow all qualified applicants to enroll.

2 Remove the government restrictions against the promotion of importation of foreign drugs in the U.S. by patients for their personal use.

3 Allow patients to purchase non-controlled drugs without prescriptions.

4 Allow manufacturers to make truthful health claims for herbs, biological substances and nutrients.

5 Reduce or eliminate the requirement for malpractice insurance.

6 Reduce hospital costs.

7 Eliminate the role of third-party payers (i.e., insurance companies) in medicine.

8 Give physicians who perform charity work a tremendous tax break, on a level equivalent to tax relief for interest paid on home mortgages.

Add these five elements to understand & cure yourself: 1) portion control, 2) take a stroll between the main meal and dessert, 3) turn off the TV, 4) google "chlorine dioxide ion" "jim humble" & visit www.electroherbalism.com, www.curezone.com, www.sharinghealth.com, & www.wrongdiagnosis.com, and last, 5) Persons with money have little or no respect for those who do not.

In my opinion, using MMS, MMS2, herbs & clay, and electricity (magnetism, sound, & light included), it is possible to destroy any pathogen safely; without becoming a victim of iatrogenics (physician/pharmacy error).

The Journal of Suggestive-Accelerative Learning and Teaching, Vol. 1. No. l.

Suggestopedia has been established by Dr. Georgi Lozanov and verified by the United Nations education people. The title link above is a general discussion of the process. At one time I viewed a short documentary on Total Physical Response as a learning technique and I believe Dr. Lozanov has captured the essence of acquiring new knowledge and has taken TPR's results to new levels.

This link takes you to W. Jane Bancroft who has written an explanation of Dr. Lozanov's techniques which include Tomatis and others.

http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=bancroft%2C+w.+jane&sts=t&x=60&y=10

This essay goes into detail about the processes of suggestion and if read carefully, one may see the differences between self-hypnosis, fantasy, and direct perception.

Fed Audit Amendment Passes

It is important in my opinion to watch and see who supports monitoring the Fed and who votes against it. Identifying the parties who do not want to be monitored and the parties who protect them may lead us to those who had inside information on 9/11 and speculated on it in the stock market.

Central bank fractionalized banking has been and is the work of DISHONEST usury. Dishonest in the fact, that we the people get along just fine without income taxes which are used for the inflation and deflation cycles created by the Federal Reserve to benefit its private owners; owners who do not want to be identified or be held accountable for conflict of interest, greed, fraud, and anything else claimed to be “sacrosanct” as written in paragraphs 9 & 10 below.

“”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””

FRIDAY MAY 7 NEW YORK TIMES by David M. Herszenhorn with contributions by Sewell Chan in Washington.

SENATE NOD TO FED AUDIT IS EXPECTED

1) WASHINGTON – The Senate on Thursday moved close to approving a proposal to require a one-time audit of the Federal Reserve’s response to the financial crisis, and to force the recipients of more than $2 trillion in aid, including the bailouts of big banks.

2) The proposal, by Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont, gained momentum even as Republicans and Democrats continued to clash over procedural issues with legislation that would overhaul the nation’s financial regulatory system.

3) While the Sanders amendment requiring the audit appeared to have enough support among senators in both parties to easily win adoption, a vote was postponed until sometime next week.

4) The White House and the Fed had opposed the original proposal by Mr. Sanders, which would have allowed additional audits of the Fed. A modified proposal from Mr. Sanders appeared to address those concerns, but it would still force the Fed to disclose information that it had maintained was confidential.

5) The proposal would require the federal General Accountability Office to conduct a “one-time audit of all loans and other financial assistance provided during the period beginning on December 1, 2007 and ending on the date of enactment of this Act” under a number of programs the Fed used to respond to the near collapse of the financial system.

6) The amendment specifically states that the audit “not interfere with monetary policy,” addressing a concern raised by the Obama administration and the Fed.

7) Officials said the proposal would expand on changes made to the Fed in 1978, which subjected much of its operations to regular auditing by the accountability office BUT EXPLICITLY EXCLUDED MONETARY POLICY [caps mine].

8) The audit sought by Mr. Sanders would scrutinize an alphabet soup of programs that injected liquidity into the markets, ranging from commercial paper to money market funds. Under the proposal, the accountability office will not question whether the loans should have been made but will focus on operational integrity and accounting practices.

9) The audit, however, would explore “whether the credit facility inappropriately favors one or more specific participants over other institutions eligible to utilize the facility” and “whether there were conflicts of interest with respect to the manner in which such facility was established or operated” as well as “the use, selection, or payment of third-party contractors by or for any credit facility.”

10) The apparent compromise with the administration and the Fed would give Mr. Sanders and other critics of the central bank an opportunity to claim victory, while not breaching the Fed’s tenet that its monetary decisions be sacrosanct and insulated from political influence.

11) In a floor speech, Mr. Sanders, who describes himself as a socialist, noted that odd bedfellows were supporting his amendment, including liberal and conservative groups, labor unions and anti-tax advocates, and senators from both parties.

12) “How often do you have the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and Freedom Works supporting the same effort?” he asked. “How often are the S.E.I.U., which is the largest trade union in this country, MoveOn.org, Public citizen, striving for the same goal as the National Taxpayers Union or the Eagle Forum or the Conservative Americans for Tax reform?”

13) “They are all united around the basic principle,” Mr. Sanders continued, “we need transparency at the Fed and we need it now.”

14) Mr. Sanders complained that he had asked the Fed chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, “Who received more that $2 trillion loaned to some of the largest financial institutions in this country?” Mr. Sanders said, “I thought that was a pretty simple and straightforward question. Mr. Bernanke said, ‘no’ despite the fact that this $2 trillion in zero interest or near-zero interest loans.”

15) Some conservative Republicans said they were staunchly in favor of the proposal by Mr. Sanders. Senator Sam Brownback, Republican from Kansas, said the nation should take note that Mr. Sanders, one of the most liberal lawmakers, and Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina, one of the most conservative, were on the same side.

16) “The fact that this amendment is brought forward by the gentleman from Vermont, Mr. Sanders, and the senator, the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. DeMint, should be a sufficient warning and measure to make everyone sit up and take notice of what is it that’s here that’s so troubling.”

17) “This amendment isn’t about where the legislation will put an end to taxpayer-backed bailouts,” Mr. Brownback said, adding, “It’s about something I believe even more fundamental, the accountability of governmental institutions to the people of the United States and to the Congress.”

18) Mr. DeMint in his own floor speech said the Fed had resisted public scrutiny for too long. “The Federal Reserve has been avoiding any kind of audit, any kind of accountability, any kind of transparency,” he said. “Every time we ask for some kind of disclosure, they are saying we’re violating their independence. We’re not violating their independence with this bill proposed by Mr. Sanders. All we’re doing is uncloaking the secrecy.”

“””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””

This amendment has been passed by the Senate. Since we the people are paying for it all, no-one should be above the law and not reveal what they are doing with our money if the same is expected of us when we apply for student loans and cannot file bankruptcy to clear them when we make a mistake. Just think how much dental work could have been done in trailer parks with the phony bonuses given to the piss-ants who cause these depressions.

The Fed’s money management is at the core of our union’s state of disarray. The consciousness that allows it perpetuate its dishonesty is just as accountable as the state of consciousness that expects to steal from we the people and get away with it.

Simply put: The government GIVES me $100. I lend out $90 to nine different people at $10 each EXCEPT that I call it $100 and have the nation’s treasurer print the other $900 to back it up. This means 10 people believe I have enough money to cover their $100 loans each, but I do not and I ask the Congress to increase income taxes to pay for what the treasurer has printed.

So I turned $100 into $1000 on paper and when it is paid back by the debtor, I can loan 100 more people $100 and have the government cover the $9000 by printing more. Leveraging the interest keeps inflation down and allows me to make more loans. This is over-simplified, but I think you can see why the Fed doesn’t want to be caught with its pants down with an audit.

Tar and feather’em I say. Ride ‘em out of New Yowk on a skinny pole to Sing Sing Prison.
