Both directions are simply then a swapping of the...

And yes, it's very much possible without even sacrificing too much. We're trying to convince the masses to change all at once, and it's a problem. I find it best if we take matters into our own hands, individually. You look at what you have/want versus what you need/can't...

Quote: Originally Posted by aggie i was also wondering, what exactly are the limited choices that humans have like animals and when do they really "need" to be violent. Humans have binary thinking. It means one bit monochrome image of the world: True or False, Friend or Foe, Manchester United or Real Madrid, Cubs or Red Socks. Humans do not have Super VGA 8 bit resolution in their brains because it would allow violence and...

Quote: Originally Posted by Andrew Gubb Hmm... you interest me Does that mean fear energy? Do you control your inner demons, i.e. insecurity with fear? For instance, you want to write a book and publish it. An inner demon, as you called it, tells you you couldn't because of X, Y, Z.

Quote: Originally Posted by Illustro Cado I applaud your effort to construct a working model before you begin. I consider this essential to any undertaking.

For anyone who might be reading this: if you can get no further by thinking it is time to act. Yes,...

to me, those "limited" choices are merely a product of the trickle down from a lot crummy conscious choices made by others above, or in control, or richer, or whatever. so i guess i don't think they count, imo. (i thought is was yankees or red sox...no binary there! )

First of all you have to make a human environment people want to work in, they have to be proud of what they do and they need to feel a part of it all and important. The crucial thing is to have an ear and hart and hear, really...

I love many of the books mentioned here! One I'd add is "The Road Less Traveled" by Scott Peck. I read this book when I was going through a divorce and it made me feel like I wasn't crazy for wanting more. It was the beginning of me waking up ... (a long time ago!) --Karen

Quote: Originally Posted by Jason Bourne At this point though, I feel the impetus to look deep within myself to figure out who I really am, and I can only do that on my own. Anything short of someone directly offering to help me will probably go unnoticed, but I am certainly more open to the notion of accepting assistance more so that I used to be. If you're anything like me, you actually go out of your way not to be assisted. Look...
