You've probably heard of the popular saying "It's better to give than to receive." But do you actually know what hidden power lies within this magnanimous act known as "giving?" When you give something from your heart without expecting anything in return, you release a powerful force that will trigger your good deed to "bounce" back to you in amazing, and sometimes unusual ways. I firmly believe that whatever you impart to others wi... more...

The desire for change is a paradox. We know that it is important to accept ourselves and not be so self-critical, and yet at the same time we may have less-than-desirable habits we’d like to replace, traits we want to enhance, or skills we’d like to develop. Change happens unceasingly around us and we are called upon constantly to adapt and grow, or wither. Carl Rogers believed that all living organisms have a tendency toward growth, and that as people we strive to actualize our inhe... more...

The Great Library of Alexandria once held the wisdom of the ancient world. When it burned down, billions of invaluable thoughts perished. One book, however, survived. Since it wasn’t considered a valuable book, a poor man bought it for a few coppers. He was not very literate and thought the book dull. The only thing of interest to him was a thin strip of vellum. Written on it was the secret known as the “Touchstone.” The touchstone, the writing on the vellum strip explained, was a small p... more...

“The latter part of a wise man's life,” said Jonathan Swift, “is taken up in curing the follies, prejudices, and false opinions he had contracted in the former.” The awareness to see one's own follies, prejudices, and false opinions is in fact essential to overcome one's psychocultural programming. But before we discuss awareness, we should look at how we went about assimilating programs that didn't benefit our evolution. Apart from what we have been t... more...

Everyday I meet people who have a chronic upset that runs their lives, and I notice that they are not even aware of it. Often the pain has become buried in their unconscious; or if they are aware of it, they choose to deny any power to combat it. Yet unless they seek healing, this energy locked up in their mind is a continual drain on their vitality. It is a parasite to their life-force. The first step to true self-help is willing to be candid, notice what hurts, and find the the... more...

Remember the Labour of Hercules involving the Hydra. As Hercules chopped off one head with his sword another 3 grew back in its place. As Hercules chopped off the head, he cauterised it with the Sacred Fire, and thus the heads grew no more. This is the secret of many ancient meditations. The Hydra symbolises the mind. Its heads the many thoughts we have which need to be dissipated through meditation. To Stop The Mind, We Must Defeat The Hydra and more, cauterize the head wit... more...

We should strive to attain a desireless state. As long as we have desire, we lack. Lack and want are the same thing. Wanting traps us in a world of limitation. Wanting is the greatest enemy of joy.~Lester Levenson. Desire is our enemy. The more we try and satiate desires, the more we want of them. There is no way to fulfill them all. And, in fact, it's futile. We’re trying to be our own real selves through some secondary means. Desire is either pushing so... more...

Again the ancient Greek Myths give the Secrets of meditation. The Labyrinth, is cut into the stone floor of Chartres Cathedral. There was a plate in the middle of the Labyrinth there before the French revolution showing The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. The Minotaur like the Sphinx, the Centaur, King Kong and the Beauty and the Beast, shows the dual Nature of man. It represents the man without a heart, the savage animal red in tooth and claw. The Law of the Jungle. Kill or be ... more...

Oxytocin is a nine amino acid peptide produced in the brain and released by the pituitary gland. It is produced in the body naturally, by both males and females, and plays a role in reproduction and may even contribute to those feelings we call "love." Recent research has linked oxytocin with the ability to trust others. Evidence suggests that it may even play a major role in a person's ability to take care of others and for avoiding conflict. It's been demonstr... more...

Here is an example of an interview I gave before our last course which we give both in Spain on the Costa Brava and in Rosario in Argentina. "I was meeting a nice girl of 28 this morning here at our center in Rosario. She is a Psychologist but has fallen out of love with Psychology because although it explains things intellectually it gives no TECHNIQUES apart from talking to change anything internally, particularly in herself. You can see how effective Psychology is by looking at Wo... more...

The fear of having nothing. The fear of death, even when this is not likely to happen soon, can cause you to take the stupid slave-like path in life. As Jesus Christ said -"Look at all the lilies in the field. They toil not, neither do they spin...." they do not fear. Fear is one of the major symptoms of energy blockages in the Base Chakra. Chakras are processors in the computer sense, the multi-chakra’d human being is a multi-processor computer, and as everyone know... more...

The other day I was sitting with a group of people at an informal picnic. As I chatted with the man next to me, our attention was drawn to a woman a few tables away who was telling a story. “Look how animated her face is!” the man commented. And, indeed, her facial expressions reflected her total involvement in what she was describing. It was impossible not to be drawn in, too, and I smiled because it was enjoyable just to watch her. I thought about my relationship with this particula... more...

Split Personalities are the norm. Only the really bad splits come to the attention of the Psychologists or are talked about in Books or Movies. For example Stinker and Slinker, the two parts of Gollum in the Lord of the Rings. Many psychological books talk about these Splits which usually start off as Inner Children Energy Blockages. They are anaesthetised through Drugs, but Only Meditation, Through the Grounding of Negative Energies and other Immensely Powerful Blockage Busting Te... more...
