In 2006 the news contained 22 incidents of school violence and reports show that violence in some major US cities was higher last year than it has been in decades. Violence among females and pre-teens is also rising, and the US has a greater violence rate than any other Western Nation. As a country, we need to act now to stop this epidemic. Most Americans put their faith in the penal system. We think that by investing money in jails and rehabilitation centers, we will be able to cut down... more...

Awareness can be seen as a methodology, a plan for personal and professional achievement. It is a way to manage change. Awareness arises when doing requires learning. In sports, for example. As you play your sport, you are not only acting it but learning about how to act. The more fluid your actions, the more well-rehearsed your form, the better you will play it. The absence of awareness is an ungraceful dance between experiencing yourself as both a subject and an object. T... more...

The most fascinating theme in any movie is the transformation of the main character, who evolves from a lower state of awareness to a higher one. Although this theme is repeated with minor variations in one movie after another, people do not tire of it because it represents their own story. The meaning of life may itself be entirely about personal growth. Enlightenment is the final vision, where you see everything in a whole new light, with the universe and your neighbors as part of a m... more...

The problem of creating problems is a systematic one. The entire system of thinking itself is flawed because it is based on a need to find and resolve problems. This is not an original idea. David Bohm, an American quantum physicist, had expanded on it fully. David Bohm, in his book Thought as a System, defined the problem with thinking itself. "So one begins to wonder what is going to happen to the human race. Technology keeps on advancing with greater and greater powe... more...

Life has a way of working itself out. In the process of living your life, things have a way of resolving themselves. Another way of saying this is "ask and receive." Of course, to the logical, sequential-processing, fact-based mind, this makes no sense at all. It sounds like airy-fairy nonsense, mere wishful thinking. How does it happen? Is it divine intervention, the presence of angels, or the subconscious mind suddenly paying attention? I really don't k... more...

Alchemy is changing the lead in your life into gold. Here is a complete blueprint on how to use focus to turn lead into gold. Your focus stimulates you in many ways. It connects with your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It influences your ingenuity and your energy levels. And it sets the law of attraction to move in a particular direction to bring you more of what you focus on. The way to get full value out of focus is to improve your skills at it. First, decide... more...

A question is an inquiry. An inquiry creates an answering statement. The process of asking and answering questions is thinking. This thinking is also highly focused. Out of all the possible things you could be thinking of your attention has settled on a few ideas. These ideas then bring about consequences or effects. Questions, in short, are focusing tools for thinking. Thinking, in turn, affects all your experiences. Who you are is a result of your thinking, and your... more...

How To Overcome Anything There are two extreme types of people, with most falling somewhere in the middle. The first are those who see, feel, and believe in what they want, and they win over and over again, and even overcome obstacles that would have crushed someone else. An example is Donald Trump. His entire empire collapsed around him because of problems with his casino and the crunch in the real estate market. He was worse than the poorest, homeless person, because... more...

Everybody wants to be a winner, but few people are. Most people struggle to hold their little worlds together. Few people soar; few excel. What is the difference? Are some people just brighter, more energetic, more attractive, more talented, and more athletic than others? Even a superficial amount of research will quickly show you that none of these are important factors. Some people succeed despite a complete absence of any superior qualities while others fail despite an abund... more...

Depression is a prevalent health care problem in other places besides northern Illinois, as it affects more than 19 million Americans, nationwide, every year, regardless of age, race, or gender. While depression is not a normal part of the aging process, there is a strong likelihood of it occurring when other physical health conditions are present.

Behavioral therapy offers a fairly high success rate. It can be conducted on an individual basis or as part of a group therapy strategy. Behavioral therapy focuses primarily on helping depressed patients to develop coping strategies for the problems they encounter and new patterns of behavior. This technique also involves instructing patients to increase their recognition of desirable situations and events as they happen. In a sense, behavioral therapy is a means of teaching people to find the p... more...

The other day, I asked one of my lovely step-daughters if there was anything in life that made her feel uneasy without any obvious reason. She said "No" and then added that "I don't like to see people getting 'shot' on TV. It makes me feel really upset." There was a curious expression in her eyes and she politely (Filipina girls are like that) asked me why I had asked the question. "It's because I can see some birth marks on your shou... more...

Your subconscious mind is always saying "yes!" This "yes" is a very powerful thing. While your conscious mind can only process about 7 bits of information per second, your subconscious mind can process 7 billion bits of information per second. While your conscious mind can barely remember what happened an hour ago, your subconscious mind can remember everything with total recall. What is your subconscious mind saying "yes" to? Do you say things like... more...

What is stopping you from enthusiastically living your life? Here you are in the middle of this massive adventure called life, with the possibility of having tremendous success and enjoying wealth, health, wonderful relationships, and the fulfillment of your talents, yet somehow you seem to have run out of joy. Looking back, it seems as if you can't really think of ever having lived as if it were an adventure. There may have been pockets of spontaneous outbursts and creative e... more...

Today is going to cost you one day of your life. It is an opportunity to invent yourself. Consider this day as special. You can waste it by doing the same old things in the same old ways. Or you can use it to turn your life around for the better. Tomorrow is a whole other adventure. Focus on today, because it will soon be gone forever. Try to leave something behind today, something good. Notice the earth today. Walk on it barefoot. Notice the wind as it plays with your hair. Not... more...

Body language is the meaning behind the words or the "unspoken" language. Surprisingly, studies show that only up to an estimated 10 percent of our communication is verbal. The majority of the rest of communication is unspoken. This unspoken language isn't rocket science. However, there are some generalizations or basic interpretations that can be applied to help with the understanding or translating of these unspoken meanings. Here are some basics below.
