About Me

"Balance in all things, Live, Learn, Love and Create"

Balance is difficult to maintain but without it we are not reaching our full potential. Physical, mental, and Spiritual strengths should be kept at the fullest potential. Constant awarness of ones weakness should help maximixe the ablity to grow in balance.

LIVE

Physical strength and skills enable you to maintain the body that contains "YOU". Every living thing is constantly searching for things that benifit the creature: Air, Food, Water, Shelter, and Continuation of the Species. Our society has stunted the ablity to be self-sufficent. Realize that our "Basic Needs" are top priority. Species assure themselves the best possible source and means for the "Basic Needs" for the entire community of species. Many issues arise with a Community of Species like: environment, technology, housing, water quality, and culture and these should be addressed but first develop the individual and maximize the Living aspect.

LEARN

Basic learning skills are rarely taught, our education system relies on input and recitation. I have found great methods and resources to increase your learning potential: Speed reading, Alpha Level Learning and Logical thinking.

Speed reading starts with the single mysterous finger, use it and you will double your reading speed. Find a comfortable sitting spot where you can turn pages with one hand and underline words with your finger. First take a "Zen Break™", Place a book mark at the end of the section you wish to read, then just scan each page untill the book mark is reached. Then read the desired section using the finger to underline each word until the bookmark is reached. Conclude Speed reading with a "Zen Break™" to relax and process the information. Continue this practice and you your speed, comprehension and retention will increase.

Alpha Level Learning is well documented "Superlearning", "Alpha learning" and "The Sylivan method". Proper food, light exercise, and certian music have proven to help memory. Baroque music with a certain rythm is critical with Russian "Superlearning". Before attempting Alpha Learning have a sensible snack, stretch out then settle in a confortable location with the proper music softly in the background. Close your eyes and use the "Zen Break™" relaxation for 5 minutes to tune your mind, then study as you would normaly. Other techniques like Mneumonics, study partners and aplication of knowledge increase retention. Conclude with a 5 minute "Zen Break™". This is only a condensed Alpha Level Learning lesson but it will yeild results.

Logical thinking is a skill that is known as "Scientific analisys", "Critical Thinking" and "Common sence". We daily process new oberservations and create a new model of the world. The problem is we are rarely objective with our observations, we get clouded by feelings, motivations and mental tapes. Then apply flawed logic models to create our Understanding. Logical thinking is encouraged by logic Puzzles and Games. The logic brain pathways get reinforced by these excercises. Orginizations like "Mensa" (geek dating service) have these intelectual puzzles that strenghten Logical Thinking skills.

LOVE

We are drawn to special things that we desire, these desires motivate people to accomplish amazing things. If you have an ambition to do someting you have the potential to achieve the Goal. The "meaning of life" is that single thing that you love and are willing to achieve it no matter what obsticals are in your way.

CREATE

Things inside our minds stay inside, unless we physlicaly do something. There is a saying "Thought, Word and Deed", ACTION IS THE MOST POWERFULL THING YOU CAN DO. "Just Do It!"

We owe the universe to reach our fullest potential with balance, action, understanding, and compassion.
